15:31:11 <nigelb> Starting meeting for Ubuntu India Loco Team
15:31:12 <droidslayer> Im here to watch :-P
15:31:20 <nigelb> The agenda is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mohan_chml/IndianLoCo
15:31:24 <nigelb> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mohan_chml/IndianLoCo
15:31:39 <IAmNotThatGuy> Hello all
15:31:44 <nigelb> So who's here for the meeting? Please respond with 'o/'
15:31:47 <nigelb> o/
15:31:55 <m4n1sh> o/
15:32:06 <IAmNotThatGuy> any others
15:32:24 <rahul27> o/ 15:32:28 * nigelb pokes shadeslayer
15:32:38 <droidslayer> Here
15:32:43 <droidslayer> What up
15:32:50 <nigelb> oh, well, he's here
15:33:21 <nigelb> Ok, so IAmNotThatGuy not that guy has been working on reviving our loco.
15:33:27 <IAmNotThatGuy> pjarnahom, Ramakrishna_cse
15:33:33 <nigelb> And today's agenda is basically stuff that he's come up with
15:33:46 <nigelb> So thanks a lot IAmNotThatGuy for working on them.
15:33:49 <pjarnahom> IAmNotThatGuy, yes
15:34:20 <nigelb> #topic Make a registry to count number or Indian Ubuntu users to plan about teaching and involving in development
15:34:20 <meetingology> TOPIC: Make a registry to count number or Indian Ubuntu users to plan about teaching and involving in development
15:34:21 <IAmNotThatGuy> Its our community and we planned it. and not "me"
15:34:36 <nigelb> IAmNotThatGuy: yeha, but you took the action
15:34:43 <IAmNotThatGuy> I wish to elaborate this =]
15:34:48 <nigelb> Go ahead
15:34:58 <droidslayer> BTW we need to update the wiki as well
15:35:20 <droidslayer> The Indian loco wiki page
15:35:24 <IAmNotThatGuy> I watched many Ubuntu Users in India. and we are not having good contacts among each other
15:35:24 <m4n1sh> droidslayer: sure
15:35:34 <m4n1sh> IAmNotThatGuy: we have so many on ##linux-india
15:35:41 <m4n1sh> just that the community is scattered
15:35:49 <nigelb> m4n1sh: Let him finish
15:35:55 <m4n1sh> nigelb: fine Go ahead IAmNotThatGuy
15:36:34 <IAmNotThatGuy> and I felt that we should make some stuff to bring everyone together, separately to our LoCO involvement and Motivate people about Our community
15:37:20 <IAmNotThatGuy> Like, when we are together, we can get some more helping hands and I believe each and every Ubuntu user motivates others to try it
15:37:21 <bihari> Yes we shud know each other
15:38:16 <IAmNotThatGuy> and I believe that "I motivate others" is not a successful word that "We can motivate others and can give a choice"
15:38:37 <IAmNotThatGuy> so, The first step I like to take is, identify all and group them
15:39:02 <IAmNotThatGuy> and this also involves in combining all LoCos In India to one
15:39:07 <nigelb> o/
15:39:11 <geekosopher> 0/ sorry I am late
15:39:26 <rahul27> IAmNotThatGuy, we could use divide and conquer
15:39:38 <nigelb> rahul27: that would make us weaker instead of stronger
15:39:55 <rahul27> have SPOC's for each Loco in India
15:40:00 <IAmNotThatGuy> rahul27, yes. and we can do one more thing. we can tell our friends to join the LoCo and participate in activities and tell him to spread
15:40:24 <rahul27> So that people are reachable
15:40:40 <rahul27> we could have get togethers
15:41:21 <rahul27> so the SPOC's could send updates to the Indian LoCo
15:41:31 <IAmNotThatGuy> rahul27, making all to get here, or to a forum (or some kinda counter with their mail ID) is needed
15:41:33 <nigelb> We really don't want too many levels of governance
15:41:55 <nigelb> I'd rather have a simple stucture with few people responsible for bits and rotate their responsibilities
15:42:12 <IAmNotThatGuy> rahul27, each of us has power here. and I believe discussing in a group or consulting one of the group is enough
15:42:42 <rahul27> nigelb, that would also work
15:42:55 <IAmNotThatGuy> Okay
15:43:16 <m4n1sh> dont forget to send LoCo updates to Amber
15:43:22 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, what action we can take for this? (Grouping all)
15:43:36 <IAmNotThatGuy> Guys. any suggestions?
15:43:48 <nigelb> I think we can have a registry of Ubuntu volunteers from India and whom to contact for what
15:43:53 <droidslayer> Put them on a wiki page
15:43:57 <droidslayer>
15:44:05 <nigelb> Please note that it should be volunteered. No forcing another persons's name on the list
15:44:19 <droidslayer> Yep
15:44:19 <IAmNotThatGuy> +1 nigelb
15:44:26 <m4n1sh> also asking people what they can do for
15:44:29 <nigelb> If you feel you ahave experieince in say unity hacking, put your name down
15:44:43 <m4n1sh> like some are very willing to provide help for troubleshooting.. while some cannot
15:44:54 <nigelb> exactly
15:45:12 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, so the action will be, creating a page for Indian users to tell their personal contacts and their skills
15:45:28 <bihari> unity hacking ?
15:45:29 <droidslayer> No personal contacts please
15:45:30 <IAmNotThatGuy> right?
15:45:40 <IAmNotThatGuy> bihari, its an example
15:45:44 <droidslayer> Email is fine with me
15:45:45 <nigelb> droidslayer: name and IRC nick?
15:45:46 <bihari> oh ok
15:45:58 <droidslayer> nigelb: and email
15:46:04 <geekosopher> I think first of all, a new user needs to know that there is an active Indian LoCo and that there is way to contribute in the LoCo. How do we do that?
15:46:04 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, or launchpad account with nick ?
15:46:19 <droidslayer> No phone numbers :-P
15:46:21 <nigelb> #action Create a list where people can list their name, skills, and link to wiki page. 15:46:21 * meetingology Create a list where people can list their name, skills, and link to wiki page.
15:46:24 <m4n1sh> nigelb: LP page too. can use Contact this user
15:46:41 <IAmNotThatGuy> droidslayer, :P
15:46:41 <nigelb> m4n1sh: wiki page will have all of the details
15:46:59 <droidslayer> Yep
15:47:02 <IAmNotThatGuy> geekosopher, we will discuss it soon =]
15:47:14 <geekosopher> sure
15:47:17 <nigelb> Another thing would be team reports
15:47:31 <nigelb> We'd like volunteers to help prepare team reports every month.
15:47:35 <IAmNotThatGuy> and there should be monthly meetings
15:47:41 <nigelb> Probably rotate the responsiblity around
15:47:46 <nigelb> Thoughts on this?
15:47:47 <geekosopher> +1 nigelb
15:47:50 <m4n1sh> +1
15:47:54 <IAmNotThatGuy> +1 right away
15:47:54 <rahul27> +1
15:48:03 <droidslayer> I do hate team reports
15:48:05 <bihari> +1
15:48:07 <IAmNotThatGuy> lol
15:48:12 <IAmNotThatGuy> droidslayer, any reasons?
15:48:18 <nigelb> droidslayer: lol, looks like you have done them before.
15:48:26 <droidslayer> But... as long as I don't have to prepare those
15:48:31 <nigelb> droidslayer: I sometimes end up doing 3 a month :/

15:53:39 <IAmNotThatGuy> mingo, Okies i will check, ask the right person and give you the powers =]
15:53:51 <mingo> Why a wiki? Anyone with a wordpress account can do that///
15:54:07 <nigelb> mingo: Because wiki is more open
15:54:07 <m4n1sh> mingo: you need to add a section on the website in that case

15:54:25 <mingo> Eveninng.
15:54:30 <nigelb> I'd vote using the loco directory for this please?
15:54:40 <nigelb> We have an Ubuntu resource just for events, so use it. Please.
15:54:42 <IAmNotThatGuy> as we have many events going on in Indian, people are not aware of what is going on
15:54:48 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, sure
15:54:59 <IAmNotThatGuy> thats a good choice
15:55:18 <mingo> So someone has to inform on the mailing list and we'll put it on right away. Pics would be welcome.

15:58:12 <meetingology> TOPIC: Mailings list and a new forum moderators team
15:58:47 <nigelb> I think we already have pretty good mailing list admins.

16:00:02 <geekosopher> never saw any problems on mailing list and forums
16:00:09 <droidslayer> I think I habe
16:00:11 <rahul27> mingo, how about getting in touch with Linux for You
16:00:16 <droidslayer> Gah

16:00:32 <mingo> rahul27: Why?
16:00:37 <droidslayer> Nvm
16:00:42 <nigelb> We have 4 admins for the mailining list.
16:00:43 <rahul27> mingo, instead of booklets
16:00:51 <mingo> yeah?
16:00:55 <nigelb> Now, if something is wrong, please talk to them

16:01:09 <nigelb> mingo, rahul27: Please keep things on topic to what's being discussed
16:01:33 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, and would you suggest to start a new forum?
16:01:36 <mingo> sorry nigelb. Got over enthu..
16:01:40 <IAmNotThatGuy> or the main Ubuntu Forum?
16:01:41 <nigelb> mingo: heh
16:01:42 <droidslayer> I wouldn't
16:01:49 <nigelb> IAmNotThatGuy: No.
16:01:58 <mingo> Clean the forum. PURGE,,,
16:01:58 <droidslayer> Why not use ubuntu forums
16:01:59 <geekosopher> we already have a forum on ubuntu-in right?
16:02:09 <m4n1sh> well, sadly I still find mailing list and IRC easier to use than forums
16:02:13 <mingo> yeah we have
16:02:15 <nigelb> Aren't we using the Ubuntu forums?
16:02:20 <nigelb> m4n1sh: same here
16:02:24 <mingo> nope nigelb
16:02:27 <droidslayer> Get a separate section on ubuntu forums
16:02:27 <m4n1sh> we have a section in the ubuntu forum?
16:02:32 <nigelb> So, we don't have a forum?
16:02:40 <m4n1sh> nigelb: we have on ubuntu-in.info
16:02:46 <mingo> Purge our own one
16:02:46 <m4n1sh> but hardly and activity
16:02:51 <m4n1sh> mingo: +1
16:02:52 <m4n1sh> no use
16:03:07 <geekosopher> yes, activity is the problem on ubuntu-in forums
16:03:07 <m4n1sh> of having seperate one every time if we have say. 5 users
16:03:14 <m4n1sh> geekosopher: it has to be
16:03:15 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, then I can say that we should forward all to the main Ubuntu Forums and remove from Ubuntu-in.info
16:03:36 <m4n1sh> login every time to forums.. probably registering and then forgetting password every other week
16:03:44 <nigelb> Ok, who wants to investigate into this? 16:04:04 * nigelb looks at droidslayer and/or m4n1sh
16:04:07 <lut4rp> I personally find ubuntu-in forums to be (now) useless
16:04:07 <mingo> Let's create separate section in Ubuntu forums. Purging is no use. Its too junk
16:04:25 <lut4rp> What do you want me to do with them
16:04:26 <nigelb> I'm not too much of a forums person tbh
16:04:34 <m4n1sh> nigelb: ask lut4rp
16:04:34 <mingo> mee too
16:04:35 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, make a vote for removing the forums of ubuntu-in
16:04:39 <rahul27> lut4rp, I agree
16:04:44 <m4n1sh> nigelb: he knows how to handle forums
16:04:45 <droidslayer> I didn't know lut4rp was watching :-P

16:06:38 <mingo> yeah. Shut down.
16:06:46 <lut4rp> do I have to sign in blood or something?
16:06:54 <geekosopher> IAmNotThatGuy: i am not in the favour of pulling down the content
16:06:59 <nigelb> lut4rp: Your nick is in red for me coincidentally.
16:07:00 <mingo> lut4rp: That would be great.
16:07:09 <lut4rp> geekosopher, content on the forum?
16:07:12 <IAmNotThatGuy> geekosopher, we will be having the content but not the fourm
16:07:15 <geekosopher> yes
16:07:17 <mingo> lut4rp: lolz
16:07:18 <lut4rp> Is there are "archive-worthy" content on the forum?
16:07:26 <IAmNotThatGuy> ah
16:07:29 <m4n1sh> we can seach for archive worthy content
16:07:31 <m4n1sh> and put them on wiki
16:07:32 <geekosopher> for whatever its worth
16:07:33 <lut4rp> yes
16:07:37 <mingo> lut4rp: yeah some//
16:07:39 <geekosopher> lut4rp: ^
16:07:43 <lut4rp> okay, so let's take a week for that
16:07:47 <lut4rp> for the searching and archiving thing
16:07:55 <nigelb> lut4rp: Hold off on the pulling for a while so we can get an Ubuntu forum for us
16:08:03 <lut4rp> eh
16:08:05 <IAmNotThatGuy> +1 for <m4n1sh> and put them on wiki
16:08:06 <mingo> lut4rp: Make a tar for people to still access the content.
16:08:10 <lut4rp> wait, we already *have* a forum
16:08:12 <geekosopher> lut4rp: yes, we can keep the archives and redirect new ones to ubuntu forums
16:08:30 <nigelb> lut4rp: yes, but we'll just use the main forum, that's probably more traffic
16:08:30 <lut4rp> I am saying that we don't need an ubuntu *india* forum
16:08:31 <mingo> lut4rp: Yeah. Move to Ubuntu forums
16:08:37 <lut4rp> because ubuntuforums.org serves the purpose
16:08:39 <nigelb> lut4rp: +1
16:08:43 <droidslayer> Yep
16:08:44 <mingo> lut4rp: +1
16:08:45 <m4n1sh> lut4rp: +1
16:08:46 <lut4rp> we don't need an India specific forum
16:08:52 <IAmNotThatGuy> yup
16:08:54 <lut4rp> OR an india specific subforum
16:08:58 <lut4rp> we don't need that either
16:09:02 <m4n1sh> redirect forum.ubuntu-in.info to ubuntuforums.org
16:09:03 <bihari> lut4rp: +1
16:09:06 <mingo> lut4rp: That will be done on the mailing lsit/
16:09:07 <lut4rp> m4n1sh, okay
16:09:09 <lut4rp> yes
16:09:16 <lut4rp> all India specific stuff should go on the ML
16:09:24 <IAmNotThatGuy> and IRC
16:09:26 <lut4rp> yes
16:09:27 <lut4rp> ok
16:09:28 <lut4rp> so
16:09:28 <nigelb> and askubuntu.com
16:09:32 <droidslayer> m4n1sh: that's what I said earlier
16:09:36 <lut4rp> I have to move out
16:09:44 <lut4rp> so can someone else mail the list with this decision?
16:09:49 <geekosopher> nigelb: is askubuntu.com official?
16:09:53 <m4n1sh> geekosopher: yes
16:09:57 <geekosopher> ok
16:10:03 <m4n1sh> official Q&A for ubuntu
16:10:05 <nigelb> geekosopher: Its not a canonical resource though.
16:10:07 <mingo> yas. It is official
16:10:08 <lut4rp> a. we will shut down the forum
16:10:12 <nigelb> err, *Canonical resource
16:10:14 <mingo> Ok.
16:10:15 <lut4rp> b. we will redirect to ubuntuforums
16:10:19 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, have an action for redirecting the forum
16:10:22 <nigelb> lut4rp: +1
16:10:24 <m4n1sh> well canonical has put it's employee to work on the design

16:10:38 * meetingology lut4rp to do whatever he just listed out
16:10:43 <lut4rp>

16:11:01 <meetingology> TOPIC: A team to plan events regarding the awareness of Ubuntu around various parts of India
16:11:22 <mingo> Yeah. Take me. I'm in on this one.
16:11:22 <IAmNotThatGuy> I think we people are already doing it =]
16:11:31 <coolbhavi> nigelb, me too
16:11:39 <m4n1sh> IAmNotThatGuy: the current situation is still not so good
16:11:46 <mingo> I am already in the process of spreading Ubuntu. Check this: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0BzzTjIT9dTZ0MThiZjUxYjUtYjdhZi00ZTE4LWFjYTAtYmJmYjA3MjRlZTU2&hl=en
16:11:54 <mingo> Work in progress
16:11:59 <bihari> well for awareness in india we must aproch to university and colleges of india and conduct some sort of saminar
16:12:01 <droidslayer> Ok I need to leave as well
16:12:04 <geekosopher> I think it should go the Ubuntu release party way
16:12:06 <nigelb> What we could do, is add people interested in this add your names and add an item about interest in spreading Ubuntu.
16:12:07 <droidslayer> I'll check logs
16:12:10 <droidslayer> Cya
16:12:11 <m4n1sh> @ everyone .. we need to goto any engg colleges near our residence/hometown
16:12:11 <meetingology> m4n1sh: Error: "everyone" is not a valid command.
16:12:15 <m4n1sh> and give a talk if possible
16:12:20 <IAmNotThatGuy> m4n1sh, yeah. so, as said at the first point of this agenda, lets combine all of us, and bring it on =]
16:12:35 <coolbhavi> nigelb, IAmNotThatGuy how about packaging sessions?
16:12:43 <nigelb> coolbhavi: that works too
16:12:47 <mingo> Someone go for a tv ad?
16:12:52 <m4n1sh> coolbhavi: cool.
16:12:56 <m4n1sh> +1 for packaging
16:13:02 <coolbhavi> nigelb, then m up to it
16:13:05 <coolbhavi>
16:13:06 <IAmNotThatGuy> coolbhavi, yeah. we will be having a lot of technical sessions too and it will be you, nigelb and droidslayer
16:13:06 <nigelb> #action Ubuntu IN members to help spread Ubuntu in colleges and schools and workplaces. 16:13:06 * meetingology Ubuntu IN members to help spread Ubuntu in colleges and schools and workplaces.
16:13:17 <mingo> Schools.. Ok
16:13:18 <m4n1sh> coolbhavi: in that case we can call some debian people too for teaching packaging
16:13:21 <m4n1sh> I am looking at rrs
16:13:30 <droidslayer> Err
16:13:39 <IAmNotThatGuy> m4n1sh, FYI coolbhavi is a great guy in that
16:13:39 <coolbhavi> IAmNotThatGuy, m4n1sh sure rrs kart_ etc
16:13:54 <m4n1sh> coolbhavi: I mean kart_ is not in bangalore
16:13:55 <m4n1sh> but rrs is
16:13:56 <droidslayer> Id rather not advise getting debian people
16:14:03 <m4n1sh> droidslayer: any spl reason?
16:14:07 <mingo> droidslayer: why?
16:14:10 <nigelb> Debian people rock generally.
16:14:14 <droidslayer> Hold o.
16:14:14 <coolbhavi> IAmNotThatGuy, DD's are great
16:14:19 <nigelb> At least the ones I know do.
16:14:20 <m4n1sh> droidslayer: I knw rrs personally.. He is very much affectionate towards ubuntu
16:14:25 <nigelb> m4n1sh: +1
16:14:32 <m4n1sh> me and nigelb have met him
16:14:37 <nigelb> He came to our Ubuntu hour!
16:14:41 <nigelb> Kartik is awesome too.
16:14:43 <bihari> we must write a letter to CBSE and some other state board to have a seprate chapter inside computers books on opensource
16:14:46 <mingo> whu's rrs? Please anyone?
16:14:47 <nigelb> We've talked a few times.
16:14:48 <m4n1sh> nigelb: after you people left that Ubuntu Hour.. me and rrs talked together on ubuntu for some 2 hours
16:14:54 <IAmNotThatGuy> Okay
16:14:55 <coolbhavi> nigelb, +1
16:14:58 <nigelb> mingo: He's a Debian Developer in Bangalore.
16:15:00 <IAmNotThatGuy> we have a point from bihari
16:15:00 <geekosopher> we should concentrate on spreading the userbase first then the developer base
16:15:02 <nigelb> Anyway, we're off topic
16:15:03 <IAmNotThatGuy> GUYS
16:15:04 <mingo> Tahnks
16:15:08 <nigelb> Lets move on
16:15:08 <m4n1sh> yeah
16:15:09 <shadeslayer> ok so
16:15:15 <shadeslayer> just to clarify
16:15:15 <m4n1sh> +1 for first userbase and then developer base
16:15:18 <nigelb> shadeslayer: after the meeting.
16:15:19 <m4n1sh> or together
16:15:27 <m4n1sh> but userbase gets higher preference
16:15:28 <shadeslayer> nigelb: i wont be available then
16:15:28 <nigelb> #topic Contribute to the community by development, bug triaging, help and distribute
16:15:28 <meetingology> TOPIC: Contribute to the community by development, bug triaging, help and distribute
16:15:32 <bihari> i mean we can send an e-mail to CBSE and state Board chairman
16:15:47 <IAmNotThatGuy> bihari, okies. just wait =]
16:16:00 <bihari> to have a 1 chapter on open source specually ubuntu - linux
16:16:03 <coolbhavi> nigelb, I think you can handle the topic
16:16:04 <nigelb> There are a few of us active in different parts of the community.
16:16:14 <shadeslayer> DD's are great, but they expect a level of expertise from whom theyre teaching, so bringing in DD's to teach new people is a bad idea imho
16:16:15 <nigelb> coolbhavi is involved with packging
16:16:21 <Ramakrishna_cse> there is an free OS developed by Govt of India
16:16:26 <mingo> BOSSS
16:16:30 <Ramakrishna_cse> it is called Bharat Operating system
16:16:31 <Ramakrishna_cse> yes
16:16:32 <geekosopher> distribute yes, but for triaging and developing, I think we should leave it to non-loco teams
16:16:38 <nigelb> PEOPLE! Topic
16:16:44 <IAmNotThatGuy> Ramakrishna_cse, please stay with the topic
16:16:51 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, (:

16:17:04 <shadeslayer> cya
16:17:13 <coolbhavi> shadeslayer, +1 mate they expect you to know atleast /debian dir
16:17:20 <shadeslayer> coolbhavi: yep
16:17:23 <nigelb> The classroom channel is open for us and I can get us a session all the time
16:17:24 <m4n1sh> coolbhavi: you need to handle it
16:17:27 <m4n1sh> I knw packaging a bit
16:17:28 <m4n1sh> but not much
16:17:34 <m4n1sh> I can supplement
16:17:34 <bihari> yes if we want's revolution in FOSS we must encrouge teen agers and IT industry to adopt FOSS
16:17:51 <coolbhavi> m4n1sh, sure shadeslayer you can also step in
16:17:54 <m4n1sh> yeah
16:17:56 <m4n1sh> great
16:18:01 <m4n1sh> we have kde packagers too
16:18:03 <IAmNotThatGuy> nigelb, arranging sessions for development, bug triaging, help and distribute and informing it all over India
