Hmmm... US is only *one* country, so, to me, that's basically *one* local
team.

Remember that other countries exist in the world outside US :)

About the XO, is it _really_ necessary to include it in the event kit ?
For example, lot's of people were volontary for the Fedora on XO test
campaign, so they already have one to bring to events. I'll personnally
buy one when the G1G1 opens again on Amazon.

Same thing for the HP mininote, why include a computer in an event kit ?
Are you really planning on sending this all around the world like Karten
said ? o_O

Can't we simply have a list of the materials somewhere, and then a budget
is allowed to each local team meeting some arbitrary criteria (more than
XX members for example) especially to compose their kit (print the
banners, etc...)
