Owner: Chuck West <https://launchpad.net/~chuck-olylug>
Admin: Linda Halligan <https://launchpad.net/~linda-halligan>

Have either of them tried to merge the teams?

Yes. The nick "althara" in the last IRC exchange is Linda Halligan I
believe, and the Chuck she referred to is Chuck West (she confirmed
that later in the exchange).

What is the reason it can't be changed. Merging teams is a feature of LD so
saying it can't be done is not true. Is there an error that is given when
attempting to merge?

I'm sorry, I don't know if there was an error, or if the option to
merge is even available to the team admins.

I see you've been chasing things on #ubuntu-us-wa and
#ubuntu-locoteams. With luck someone from the team will comment here.

The following error was caught by LD:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 92, in get_response
    response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)
