Geopgraphy is always a problem in this country. Scheduling an online ubuntu-ca meeting at a convenient time across 4.5 timezones is challenging at best, and a face-to-face meeting of the entire LoCo is not practical.

I am not aware of any complaints within the community or about the way the LoCo is run, but I am only a remote participant and may not be aware of many local-level activites.

This has been a recurring topic of discussion within the LoCo membership. Current consensus seems to be that a single national LoCo umbrella organization is sufficient, with various more local chapters in some cities where participation is higher. Many have expressed doubts that there would be any benefit to a further breakdown into smaller LoCo units. Most people participate through local chapters but benefit from a single identity as a member of the Canadian LoCo. That, and the cool logo.
