[14:04] <SergioMeneses> i'm
[14:05] <SergioMeneses> o/
[14:05] <andresmujica> that's out main wiki page, our official site and our reapproval wiki
[14:05] <czajkowski> can I just say what a a FANTASTIC re approval Application that is
[14:05] <Andphe> o/
[14:05] <czajkowski> just WOW

[14:05] <paultag> I love the logo
[14:05] <czajkowski> andresmujica: we have that
[14:05] <andresmujica> nice logo yes,
[14:05] <GuillermoC> o/
[14:05] <czajkowski> andresmujica: see above paultag posted it
[14:05] <andresmujica> it was done by the community on a contest
[14:05] <KaOSoFt> I'm from Colombia.
[14:06] <czajkowski> andresmujica: care to tell us about your loco so please ?
[14:06] <czajkowski> how have you grown in the 2 years since your first approval ?
[14:06] <andresmujica> At this moment the colombia team is on a transition, hollman our former contact and leader has stepped down after a really great work
[14:07] <andresmujica> since our first approval.
[14:07] <hollman> o/
[14:07] <paultag> andresmujica: I see you have one missed objective -- can you tell us about what you did and why it failed?
[14:07] <paultag> no motivation / no resources?
[14:08] <andresmujica> About 6 months ago, under hollman initiative the concilio or council was formed between members of our community whom have work hard for Ubuntu.
[14:08] <andresmujica> paultag:  the objective we missed was referring about showing the pc clones manufacturers in our country that they can use Ubuntu
[14:09] <paultag> andresmujica: a great idea :)
[14:09] <andresmujica> as the OS for choice on their installments, however due to lack of resources and the well stablished piracy it wasn' t really possible
[14:09] <paultag> andresmujica: cool. Thanks
[14:10] <andresmujica> however we've done a lot of community work trying to touch the bases, i mean educating people on Ubuntu.
[14:10] <czajkowski> itnet7: popey leogg any other comments
[14:10] <popey> nope
[14:10] <andresmujica> Our community has grow exponentially and is still growing.
[14:10] <itnet7> not from me
[14:11] <leogg> andresmujica: can you tell us a bit more about the hacklabs? how do you organize them?
[14:11] <andresmujica> sure!
[14:11] <andresmujica> that's a great and nice initiative of one of our members
[14:11] <andresmujica> the idea is to choose a specific topic
[14:11] <andresmujica> on any tech area..
[14:11] <andresmujica> networking
[14:11] <andresmujica> kernel
[14:11] <andresmujica> php
[14:11] <andresmujica> apache
[14:11] <andresmujica> etc
[14:12] <andresmujica> and in a workshop
[14:12] <andresmujica> we work from the ground up to build using ubuntu something around the topic
[14:12] <andresmujica> a web server
[14:12] <andresmujica> a new kernel
[14:12] <andresmujica> etc..
[14:12] <@czajkowski> any other comments from the Colombia TEam ??
[14:13] <@leogg> andresmujica: do you rent the hack spaces?
[14:13] <andresmujica> community members use their contacts so we can get access to an university room or venues like that
[14:13] <@leogg> really nice!
[14:13] <andresmujica> normally we don't pay for them, just let people to get in and hack with us.

[14:17] <lukibeni-HU> 0/
[14:17] <@czajkowski> also very nice wiki page, LOVE PHOTOS! :)
[14:17] <Apoth-hu> \o
[14:17] <toros> thanks!
[14:18] <@czajkowski> makes my day!
[14:18] <@itnet7> very nice!
[14:18] <@czajkowski> toros: so can you tell us about your team, and how you've grown in the last years please?
[14:18] <toros> hugely! :) We have now almost 18000 registered users on our site
[14:19] <@czajkowski> impressive
[14:19] <@czajkowski> so how do you get people to know about your team ?
[14:19] <toros> 7 ubuntu members (as far as I remember, 2 years ago we were only 3 or 4)
[14:19] <@czajkowski> good
[14:19] <toros> Ubuntu is getting more and more popular in Hungary... even mainstream IT media covers it regularly
[14:20] <@paultag> toros: can you talk a bit about the translation work your LoCo is involved with?
[14:20] <kelemengabor> I can :)
[14:20] <toros> and people check the ubuntu.hu site first, when they want to know more about ubuntu
[14:20] <@czajkowski> so how does your team work, how are things shared out ?
[14:20] <@paultag> kelemengabor: go ahead :)
[14:21] <toros> czajkowski: we have a core team who does most part of the work...
[14:21] <@czajkowski> You do a lot of events, how do you find the time and getting people to help out.
[14:21] <kelemengabor> paultag: basically, we are in maintenance mode, so most of the Ubuntu software is already translated, we just need to keep it up
[14:21] <toros> and we try to involve other people on Bug Jams
[14:21] <@czajkowski> Gotcha
[14:21] <@czajkowski> toros: do you do any mentoring ?
[14:22] <toros> we organized events called Ubuntu Academy, where people could learn how to get involved in the loco
[14:22] <@czajkowski> toros: oh you're going to have to tell us about that
[14:22] <toros> these are mixtures of presentations and jams
[14:22] <@czajkowski> cool
[14:23] <@leogg> toros: I love the fact that you do non-tech related stuff with the members of your LoCo... it's great for the cohesion of the group
[14:23] <toros> so we have presentations about how translation works, how our loco site works, etc.
[14:23] <@czajkowski> toros: I'm looking on your main wiki and not seeing any team reports, do ye do them, as you do a lot of work so surely not shy of news?
[14:23] <@paultag> +1 toros
[14:23] <kelemengabor> this is done by organizing translation events on Global Jams, to do the bigger chunks of work, and we coordinate actions via a wiki page, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HungarianTeam/TranslationCoordination where we follow the status of the important packages
[14:23] <@paultag> kelemengabor: awesome! Thanks!
[14:24] <toros> we have a team report for july...
[14:24] <@czajkowski> toros: :) ok well hopefully will see more in the coming months will we :)
[14:24] <kelemengabor> so that team members can quickly see where is something to do
[14:24] <toros> czajkowski: we will :)
[14:24] <@czajkowski> toros: Reports ++
[14:25] <@czajkowski> toros: the stuff you do, you should share with people
[14:25] <@itnet7> it helps to encourage others
[14:25] <@czajkowski> exactly
[14:25] <@czajkowski> they can see what others are doing it gives them ideas
[14:25] <@czajkowski> ok I think we're ready to vote

[14:49] <@czajkowski> nxvl: a whole year of no events? or just not documenting them ?

[15:04] <nixternal> you can thank nhandler for that one :)
[15:04] <@paultag> nixternal: do I spy a nhander and swoody in the top one?
[15:04] <nixternal> there were more photos, but i lost them before i was saved by flickr years ago

[15:06] <micahg> nixternal: no, sorry, have a lot of stuff to catch up on, but I"ll be at the loco event the weekend after
[15:06] <@paultag> So, nixternal, what are some of the bright spots of your loco? Have you translated Ubuntu yet?
[15:06] <@paultag> I can never understand anyone from chi-town

[15:06]  * micahg thinks we should do a blago translation of Ubuntu :)
[15:06] <nixternal> yeah, it is a mixture of italian, polish, spanish, with a bunch of other lingo thrown in
[15:06] <@paultag> czajkowski: yeah, well nhandler is on the team ;)
[15:06] <@czajkowski> I know !
[15:06] <nixternal> czajkowski: you can thank nhandler once again :)
[15:06] <@paultag> They better have their reports!
[15:07] <@czajkowski> nixternal: so plans for the future, and how ye've grown since your approval?
[15:07] <@czajkowski> how have things changed?
[15:07] <nixternal> heh, when we were approved (the 2nd US team approved to be exact, just behind Colorado because I had to go to the bathroom, and alphabetically Chicago was first) there was just a few of us
[15:08] <nixternal> we have probably tripled in both members, participants, and current ubuntu members since then
[15:08] <@paultag> nixternal: that's like posting f1irst!! and coming in second
[15:08] <nixternal> most of our ubuntu members are all devs
[15:08] <nixternal> paultag: exactly, and joey standford will never let me live that one down
[15:08] <_KAMI_Hungary> Go Hun!
[15:08] <@czajkowski> nixternal: aye you are lucky with your members
[15:08] <nixternal> when we get members, they are usually of the active variety
[15:09] <nixternal> if they aren't active, they tend to get bored, so we try to get them involved with something that suits them best, and then try to teach them how to do more with dev work, docs, and other stuff
[15:09] <@czajkowski> nixternal: any issues ye've encountered?
[15:09] <nixternal> this year has been slow because a vast majority of us have been very very busy in our personal realm...right now my 13 year old daughter is driving me up a wall to take her shopping
[15:10] <nixternal> czajkowski: we have yet to have an issue
