Hi Marcos,

Thanks for your check up e-mail. The Ubuntu Netherlands LoCo is still 
active, although it is a bit less busy than a few years ago. We still 
maintain a localized website on Ubuntu and our LoCo 
(http://ubuntu-nl.org/), there's an active forum 
(http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/) and recently, as an experiment, the server 
subteam also started up a localized Q&A site (AskUbuntu-like): 
http://vraag.ubuntu-nl.org/ . There are quite some people in our IRC 
channel, #ubuntu-nl on Freenode, too. And, while I'm at it, there's also 
the Ubuntu NL mailing list.

Currently, plans are being made to have a release party in May, those 
plans are coordinated by our promotion subteam. Last year we had 
elections for our 'gemeenschapsraad', which handles matters too general 
for a subteam to handle, and is the public face for Ubuntu NL. Two 
members have been re-chosen, one is new. Also being worked on currently 
is a localized cd (as in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LocalizedImages). The 
above is by no means a complete list, just the things that popped into 
my head (which in most cases mean they've been discussed recently over 
e-mail).

The largest 'risk' for our LoCo is currently the decreasing amount of 
members, in my opinion. We don't have hard numbers for this, but for 
example to forum seems a bit quieter than it has been, and finding 
members who want to participate more actively in one of the subteams or 
the gemeenschapsraad is more difficult (although the subteams are 
currently filled sufficiently to function, as far as I know). I don't 
have any direct ideas about how the LoCo Council could help us, but I 
CC'd this e-mail to one of the mailing lists of Ubuntu NL which is read 
by a lot of the more active members. If anyone there has any ideas about 
that, or has something else to add, I'll forward their contribution (if 
you aren't included by CC in the first place).

I hope that answers your questions, feel free to ask if you'd like more 
information on something.

Best regards,
