Ubuntu Wiki

Previous Agenda

Summary

Czajkowski, JanC, and itnet7 were in Attendance.

"Approvals"

Quebec was asked apply for their approval status first. We looked at their Wiki Page, and Web Presence. MagicFab represented his team, and there were many supporters in the channel. We took a vote and all voted +1 for a total of 3. We told MagicFab that we would be having the rest of the council vote after checking the details of the channel log, and the Approval Application/Team Wiki, and Web Site. This is to be handled from this point on the LC ML and we will contact the Teams after the decisions are reached.

Mexico was up next. They also had a strong presence with their team in the Channel. They are doing a lot of really great things in the community for advocacy, support, and more. Their Wiki needs to reflect all of the activities they were mentioning to us verbally in #ubuntu-meeting. We collectively asked for them to return next month with some revisions to their Wiki, and more details of what they are accomplishing as a team. They were very positive about returning next month.

"Re-Approval"

Belgium Team has been doing tremendous work for the Community. Their Re-Approval wiki really highlights their efforts. We took a vote and both Czajkowski and itnet7 voted +1. JanC had to refrain from voting due to being Team Contact.

15:22 < JanC> huats said he might be late because an important IRL meeting at work
15:22 < jono> it seems like there is just not enough members to join

15:22 < jono> how many members are here?
15:23 < czajkowski> so again, sorry about this, but if anyone has any questions relating to loco issues

15:23 -!- olujicz [~quassel@unaffiliated/olujicz] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere."]

15:24 < jono> ok, later all
15:24 < czajkowski> ok
15:24 < JanC> also, I can't vote on re-approval of my own team, so we actually need 2 more for that  ;)

15:24 < czajkowski> ok
15:24 -!- jono [~jono@ubuntu/member/jono] has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]

15:26 < czajkowski> so who from the  Quebec would like to tell us about some of the stuff you've been doing
15:26 < czajkowski> ?
15:27 < komputes> czajkowski: well Fabian has started the Ubutnu Hour, let him talk about that
15:27 < komputes> then I will talk about globaljam
15:27 < komputes> MagicFab: floor is yours
15:27 -!- dscassel [~dscassel@dsl-207-112-50-223.tor.primus.ca] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:27 < czajkowski> ok
15:27 < czajkowski> sounds good
15:27 < swe3tdave> then i will talk about ubuntu drupal
15:27  * DuCkNeT rolling the red carpet
15:27 < MagicFab> Yes, we've come up with some simple but effective ways to do more with less people
15:28 < MagicFab> komputes, and cyphermox here have been stars at the last Global Jam
15:28 < MagicFab> and we're gearing up for another good one
15:28 < cyphermox> yep :)
15:28 < komputes> I was one of the organizers of the first Ubuntu-QC Global Bug Jam last year, and will be organizing the second one this year.
15:28 < czajkowski> MagicFab: yes we've even taken a leaf out of you book and running our own. great idae.
15:29  * komputes is checking member count for the LoCo
15:29 < czajkowski> Idea
15:29 < MagicFab> we have great people in Quebec joining our parties - like stgraber (who just made it in the Ubuntu tech board) and all his colleagues from Revolution linux
15:29 < itnet7> Your LoCo has done some extraordinary work!!
15:29 -!- leoquant [~leoquant@ubuntu/member/leoquant] has quit [Quit: bye]
15:29 < czajkowski> yes well done
15:29 < MagicFab> I'd say our main activity is social stuff - we network. This was mostly visible during the recent tou.tv advocacy sprint for Ubuntu support of a webtv site
15:29 < czajkowski> can you tell me a bit more about that please?
15:29 < Snowrunner_QC> that was amazing!
15:30 < MagicFab> So the team is small but I believe we have great impact
15:30 < komputes> Ubuntu-QC has  89  active members
15:30 < MagicFab> well, Radio Canada, state-run TV + broadcast organization launched a huge site for their webtv (40 thounsand+ fans in Facebook)
15:30 < JanC> http://www.fabianrodriguez.com/blog/2010/02/10/thank-you-ubuntu-qc-and-facebook/ --> nice work
15:30 < MagicFab> well, huge as per our context
15:30 -!- rafael_carreras [~quassel@ubuntu/member/rafaelcarreras] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:31 < MagicFab> unfortunately only Flash, and untested in Linux. Our team list picked that up quickly, organized, and pressured into addressing this.
15:31 -!- boredandblogging [~nali@ubuntu/member/boredandblogging] has quit [Quit: leaving]
15:31 < komputes> I have found that Quebec is a great place to find people who agree with the free software ideology. With more events we will gather many new members in no time.
15:31 < MagicFab> I believe community events and simple, visible, tangible efforts like that bring out the best Ubuntu has to all - we plan on keeping doing that.
15:32 < czajkowski> ok so on your roadmap you mention double your numbers, how do you see this happening??
15:32 < Snowrunner_QC> I must add that this advocacy is the last event of a long struggle against Radio-canada, their website never was linux friendly.
15:32 -!- mongolito404 [~pbuyle@83.101.32.94] has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
15:32 < MagicFab> czajkowski, social networking on sites like Facebook, identi.ca, and in-person-events.
15:33 < JanC> any plans for events to try to reach people who don't know Ubuntu & open source yet?
15:33 < cyphermox> If I may answer that one :)
15:33 -!- vish [~Vish@unaffiliated/macvre] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:33 < czajkowski> sure
15:33 < komputes> Word of mouth and events i find are very effecting in having growing numbers in the LoCo
15:33 < MagicFab> We also have great visibility in local media - the Ubuntu "regular users" here in Quebec are hiding but we'll find them . Our FB group brought 400 together which is way more than the 89 we have in LP right now.
15:33  * DuCkNeT proud to be on ubuntu-qc team for what they have done so far
15:33 < cyphermox> Out global jam event is held (and should be again) in a university
15:33 < czajkowski> cyphermox: you make channels highlight when I'm not around :)
15:33 < MagicFab> So I think double is even low.
15:34 < cyphermox> we work with the local LUG and user groups to get this known by a larger body of people
15:34 -!- pmatulis [~peter@64.34.151.178] has quit [Quit: leaving]
15:34 < cyphermox> I do usually try to get the release parties advertised by local newspapers, but so far without much luck
15:34 -!- mongolito404 [~pbuyle@83.101.32.94] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:35 < czajkowski> cyphermox: very hard to get local paper s involved I find
15:35 < cyphermox> indeed
15:35 < MagicFab> As you can see ubuntu QC is much more than just me :D
15:35 < komputes> We also have many memvers who are part of bugcontrol which helps.
15:35 < fetova> thats wonderful, MagicFab :D
15:35 < czajkowski> MagicFab: that is is!
15:35 < Snowrunner_QC> About release party, they are often in a 3 floors pub, and people always come asking question on the release party floor about ubuntu.
15:36 < DuCkNeT> also members in the testing.... <----
15:36 < czajkowski> So is there anything else you'd like to tell us about your LoCo ?
15:36 < Snowrunner_QC> we rock! ;)
15:36 < MagicFab> yes, our parties are known as *the* place to network around Linux :D
15:36 < DuCkNeT> we do rock
15:37 -!- dupondje [~dupondje@83.101.71.129] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:37 < czajkowski> heh good stuff
15:37 < komputes> enough of patting our own backs, but really, we do really rock
15:37 < MagicFab> czajkowski, as a France-born Colombian living in Quebec since 1989, I am very proud this would be recognized as an official team :)
15:37 < czajkowski> that;s a great thing MagicFab
15:37 -!- ikonia [~mattd@unaffiliated/ikonia] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:37 < czajkowski> ok so I think we're ready to vote
15:37 < MagicFab> but many others drive it where it is.
15:38 < swe3tdave> lets not forget all the work we did on the web site has been used to create Ubuntu Drupal, other teams are now using and contributing to our code.
15:38 < czajkowski> just to note, while JanC itnet7 and i can vote , we need to get the others to vote, so we will take it to the list afterwards,
15:38 < MagicFab> swe3tdave is right, many Loco teams now have "turnkey" website thanks to the Drupal Theme he initially started :D
15:38 < czajkowski> I think you guys are doing a great job, and look forward to reading more about you  +1
15:38 < czajkowski> itnet7: JanC
15:39  * Snowrunner_QC cheers
15:39 < itnet7> +1 absolutely
15:39 < itnet7> very good work!
15:39 < JanC> +1 from me
15:39 -!- noy [~Noy@wesnoth/developer/noy] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:39 < czajkowski> and with that we shall pass this information ont the loco council mailing list and get back to you this week. Ok

15:41 < fetova> nope
15:41  * Gargadon too, from mexico
15:41 < JanC> ubuntu-qc: maybe you can do more at places that are less likely to know Ubuntu already, but I know sometimes that's also dependent on opportunities  ☺

15:45 < fetova> all be small teams
15:46 < jorgevazq> czajkowski: the largest team would be podcasting
15:46 < fetova> and we try to involve the people on them
15:46 < fetova> seeing what they do
15:46 < fetova> example
15:46 -!- Snowrunner_QC is now known as Snowrunner
15:46 < fetova> someone ask a lot of faq...
15:46 -!- shang_QC is now known as shang
15:47  * JanC remembers ubuntu-be "stole" one of ubuntu-mx's members recently  ;)
15:47 < fetova> we try to involve him on the doc team to apport ideas
15:47 < fetova> really? :(
15:47 < jorgevazq> fetova: focus
15:48 < fetova> ok...
15:48 < JanC> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-be/2009-December/006194.html
15:49 < fetova> i see...
15:49 < fetova> well...
15:49 < fetova> a permanent work on ubuntu-mx is...
15:49 < fetova> get the people together
15:50 < jorgevazq> get people's ideas and make them work
15:50 < fetova> a lot of people know ubuntu, use ubuntu... spread ubuntu...
15:50 < czajkowski> ok and in the past, I'm only seeing 4 events listed
15:50 -!- a|wen [~quassel@unaffiliated/awen/x-326362] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:50 < czajkowski>  all in 2008 what happened in 2009
15:51 < jorgevazq> in 2009 we had the H1N1 situation
15:51 < jorgevazq> which... kinda stopped several events from happening, such as FLISoL
15:51 < czajkowski> jorgevazq: why aren't these on the wiki page ?
15:52 < czajkowski> were there no other meet ups?
15:52 < jorgevazq> some of them were
15:52 < jorgevazq> we actually had presence in events in universities, but failed to collect proof
15:53 < jorgevazq> besides, the podcast project started in 2009
15:53 < JanC> jorgevazq: you can list them without proof too
15:53 < jorgevazq> from scratch
15:53 < jorgevazq> JanC: didn't know about it ;)
15:53 -!- Lex79 [~Alessandr@ubuntu/member/lex79] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
15:54 < fetova> good to know :)
15:54 -!- pvandewyngaerde1 [~id984031@90.232-245-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
15:54 < JanC> and for the future you can ask people to write (short) reports of such events
15:54 -!- pvandewyngaerde [~id984031@90.232-245-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
15:55 < jorgevazq> JanC: good to know, what happened is that th organizing staff of several events
15:55 < czajkowski> yes like add a blog post on an event or an update to your reports
15:55 -!- dupondje [~dupondje@83.101.71.129] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
15:55 < jorgevazq> such as FESoL, promised to email us the pictures... but haven't had the time to do so
15:55 -!- The_Toxic_Mite [~calvinps@host86-136-53-159.range86-136.btcentralplus.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
15:56 < jorgevazq> czajkowski: what we were thinking was to mention those activities "on air" in the podcast
15:56 < czajkowski> jorgevazq: great idea, don't get me wrong, but it'd be nice to see them listed on the wiki.
15:56 < JanC> it doesn't have to be staff, everybody present can make a blog post or whatever
15:56 < jamesjedimaster> but it's a good idea to have them on the forum
15:56 < jorgevazq> czajkowski: ok, we'll do our best to keep our wiki updated from now on ;)
15:57 -!- tremolux [~glasker@pool-71-174-55-121.bstnma.fios.verizon.net] has quit [Quit: Bye]
15:57 < czajkowski> jorgevazq: thank you
15:57 < jorgevazq> FYI: we do have pictures on FESoL 2009, just failed to put the exact date (is the last event marked)
15:57 -!- noy [~Noy@wesnoth/developer/noy] has quit [Quit: noy]
15:58 < jorgevazq> anyway... we also had several organizational improvements on 2009
15:59 < jorgevazq> an example would be the creation of ubuntu-mx-council, which we believe have helped to quicken the entire process of getting things done
15:59 < jorgevazq> ubuntu-mx-council is actually composed by the LoCo Leader (fetova) and 3 team leaders
16:00 < jorgevazq> but once other projects take off, then their leaders will also be invited to become part of the council
16:00 < itnet7> I would like to see more clearer documentation and some photos, I do think that all of you are dong a good job though
16:01 < JanC> ubuntu-mx: we'd like to propose that you come back next month with more activities listed

16:02 < jorgevazq> ok, we'll do

16:02 < jorgevazq> anyway its just a matter of listing what we have already done
16:02 < fetova> ok, we will work more on the wiki :)
16:02 < JanC> for example I also see on your site you have sort of a local distribution network for CDs (from what I understand) which isn't listed on the wiki page either?
16:03 < fetova> yeah, we have it :)
