Of course, I'm confused as to why there are tempers on this topic to begin with. Either a LoCo needs money or a LoCo does not. This is rather easily quantifiable, and I'm not sure why anybody's wasting time debating in when all they need to do is prove it, as you are in the process of. It also boggles the mind that people apparently don't understand that not all LoCos are going to be equal. One may very well not need any money, while another one might need quite a bit.

I was glad to see someone step up and address it. I'm sorry to hear that some (I really have no idea who) seem to have issues and can't participate in a discussion. Ubuntu is big and getting bigger. Loco teams are big part of that. I think it would be good if they were organized under a more formal umbrella with some sort of budget to work from. I don't mind advocating Ubuntu but I do believe there should be some corporate involvement and support - especially for things that are more or less advertising. I think this needs to be addressed.
