The loco team's true purpose

[Omar Mohamed]

I agree with Ahmed Toulan, you could have joined the team and encourage us
all to start working more. Community work isn't limited to launchpad only,
it is quite broad, we had several events/meetings. There is also with bug
wit Karma on Launchpad , some of us have more karma than what is actually
shown, and the last thing is that the events/meetings aren't well documented
on the wiki, anyways thank you for your feedback, and you can always guide
us with your ideas/suggestions/comments :)

Regards

Omar Mohsen
