Reported Progress

The Emirate LoCo achievements since our last gathering at More Cafe on 6th April:

• new irc channel: #ubuntu-ae on irc.freenode.net

• launchpad page: https://launchpad.net/~emirateslocoteam

• new wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmiratesTeam

Common Agreements

• Our common goal is to get Emirates LoCo approved as official

• IRC Bots:
  • use ubuntulog as official bot (at the moment of editing the mom, ubuntulog is running on our channel as ubuntulo1_)
  • use mootbot to monitor/summarize our meetings
• Mailing Lists:
  • use current meetup mailing list, until we can take over ownership/co-admin the official ubuntu list, after, we should integrate them by having meetup list as a member of ubuntu.
• on all circumstances we should have a "backup-guy" to co-admin our online tools
• no need for a separate site with separate content like ubuntu-ae.org . However, a redirect of the ubuntu-ae.org or ubunut.ae to our wiki page is welcomed.
• Third party sites:

  • Facebook: link should provide links to our wiki, meetup page, etc.

  • Twitter: ubuntu_ae (we'll try to take over the ownership of the account)

  • LinkedIn: a group to be formed with links back to our wiki, meetup page, etc.

• Next meeting on Sunday 24 April 2011 @8:00PM GST - follow-up and release party ideas
