Running a Team
All members are encouraged to help run their local team and whatever efforts it has running, or to lead new undertakings for the team. The task of operating a LibrePlanet team can be a fun challenge. Anyone can do it, but by no means does leadership need to be handled by just one person.
Establish the Team
See instructions on starting up a local LibrePlanet team here.
Activities
Your LibrePlanet team should keep as active as possible! Teams are about connecting people involved with free software who can help each other, advocating free software, and ringing in new users.
Recruiting
Recruiting is really important when trying to get your team off the ground. Reach out to everyone you know who may possibly be interested and make a list of local free software and GNU/Linux user groups. Draft an email announcing the LibrePlanet Team and asking for at least one person from the group to act as the contact to coordinate collaboration between the teams and keep them in touch with each other.
Collaboration
LibrePlanet groups are broad and should always help those who are working in line with our mission.
Social Gatherings
Have them!
