To be honest, we tried hard to make the LoCo Directory to be integrated with launchpad and it made sense for the owner to be the LoCo Contact since it is throuh that single person that most communications are channeled through by the ubuntu community or when making requests service or resource requests to canonical. Our guessing on having this may be wrong, but we haven't gotten much feedback yet since we don't have it running somewhere. We will make this available soon for more valuable feedback from the rest of the Ubuntu Community.

When we want to do an event, we send an email to the mailing list going "I want to do X. Who's with me?" and that's that. Traditionally, this means our leader (Kevin) sends a check to the local folk festival so we can have a table, then one of the others guys and I get print stuff from the Free Software Sticker Book and laminate it with packaging tape then either cut them out at home, while on public transit going there, or while there and Kevin shows up with a box of CDs and a pile of Software Freedom Day swag (this is in September, so we mix the two). Each fall and spring I organize an installfest with my school's ACM chapter, so a few LoCo folks show up to help. When the Federal Office Systems Expo happens each year, all the local LUGs plus our LoCo staff a booth showing off FOSS. Other than that: "hey guys, I have an idea!"

The Irish team has a point of contact, one person as we're a rather small group. We usually try and have an irc meeting once a month. Members partake in the irc meeting and we do have one chair appointed. During the irc meeting people offer to take on some tasks. Each month it varies. We've no board, but it works out well this way for us. We generally just share the workload and the job/tasks get done.
