What some people may not realize is the "rules" for an ubuntu LoCo which he mentioned in his 1st post.  Not an issue except for the work involved and that providing the resources they require for eventual approval would likely detract from discussions in this mailing list.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto for more information.

I do not raise this as an objection, but so more can be aware of implications.

I think this is a great idea. Obviously, many PLUG members use some form
of Ubuntu. As long as a LoCo can exist within PLUG without
organizational conflicts it seems like a nice fit. I don't know any
specifics of what a LoCo requires, but hopefully there won't be any
showstoppers.

OT: It'd be nice to have some kind of "History of PLUG." I would be
interested, anyway.
