Ubuntu Circle FAQ
What happened to Ubuntu LoCos?
Ubuntu Local Communities, often shortened to ‘LoCos’, are now referred to as Ubuntu Circles. There are still a number of local teams who opted to keep the old naming convention, but we encourage new local communities to adopt the Circles name.
What is Ubuntu Local Community verification?
Ubuntu Circles who have demonstrated a sustained track record and a commitment to the values of the Ubuntu Community can apply for verification. Verified teams have access to various perks and benefits within the greater Ubuntu community.

Who can I reach out to for help with my Ubuntu Circle?
If you are experiencing a problem or have a question about Circles program, you can reach out to the Local Community Council. The Local Community Council is the governing body that makes decisions on resource allocation, deals with conflict resolution and makes decisions about where the project should move forward.
For general questions about the Ubuntu Local Community program, you may also create a topic in the Ubuntu Circle Support category of the Ubuntu Discourse.
