    20:03:55 <czajkowski> Cracknel: ping

    20:04:04 <Cracknel> hi Laura

    20:04:06 <SergioMeneses> #topic Romania Reapproval

    20:04:21 <czajkowski> welcome thanks for coming

    20:04:28 <SergioMeneses> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RomanianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012

    20:04:37 <czajkowski> nice wiki page folks!

    20:04:39 <SergioMeneses> hello Cracknel

    20:05:03 <Cracknel> sorry for not attending the meeting last month, I've forgot to add it to the calendar

    20:05:14 <SergioMeneses> Cracknel, dont worry!

    20:05:17 <czajkowski> that's fine Cracknel these things happen Smile :)

    20:06:44 <czajkowski> Cracknel: so how do things get done in your team ?

    20:06:46 <czajkowski> organisation?

    20:07:05 <Cracknel> usually we use the forums for most of the work

    20:07:24 <Cracknel> but there is a trend to use social networking websites like Google+

    20:07:49 <czajkowski> nods

    20:08:01 <czajkowski> does everyone help out?

    20:08:29 <Cracknel> well, people interested in working on something usually get into the conversation

    20:08:41 <Cracknel> as everything is public, this is not a problem

    20:08:59 <greg-g> Cracknel: do you see any issues coming up for the Romania LoCo in the future?

    20:09:02 <czajkowski> thats good open discussion

    20:09:37 <IngForigua> gmorning

    20:09:45 <Cracknel> I don't think there will be a problem in the future

    20:09:54 <SergioMeneses> Cracknel, I have a recommendation, you have to use the loco portal http://loco.ubuntu.com/

    20:10:08 <huats> How is defined the structure of the LoCo ?

    20:10:31 <Cracknel> SergioMeneses: we've tried for the recent events

    20:11:06 <Cracknel> huats: there is a core, based on older members

    20:11:06 <hollman> Big Grin :)

    20:11:43 <Cracknel> and every one else that wants to join is welcome

    20:11:44 <itnet7> Cracknel: I really like the outreach programs the team has held, very nice!

    20:11:51 <SergioMeneses> Cracknel, great... keep it in mind!

    20:11:53 <czajkowski> Cracknel: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ro/events/history

    20:12:14 <czajkowski> nice work I'd encourage you to add your events here as it's easy to keep track of for your team

    20:13:04 <Cracknel> czajkowski: some might not come to knowledge of the core members of the team (the launchpad team)

    20:13:21 <Cracknel> so they do not appear in the loco team portal

    20:13:54 <czajkowski> Cracknel: yu mean people are not on Launchpad?

    20:14:30 <Cracknel> are not on the ubuntu-ro team on Launchpad

    20:14:55 <Cracknel> but they do use Launchpad for translations, bug reporting...

    20:15:02 <czajkowski> ah ok

    20:15:12 <czajkowski> maybe encourage them to join the team perahaps

    20:15:30 <SergioMeneses> +1

    20:15:40 <SergioMeneses> totally agree

    20:15:47 <Cracknel> we have some plans for this and will probably be discussed on the next IRC meeting

    20:19:11 <SergioMeneses> hello andresmujica

    20:19:32 <andresmujica> hi SergioMeneses !

    20:19:44 <andresmujica> hello czajkowski greg-g itnet7 huats !

    20:19:46 <andresmujica> hello everyone

    20:19:50 <itnet7> Hey there andresmujica ! 20:19:55 * greg-g waves

    20:20:03 <huats> hello andresmujica

    20:20:38 <SergioMeneses> andresmujica, you have a great application

    20:20:43 <czajkowski> andresmujica: hey there

    20:21:11 <czajkowski> lovely artwork

    20:21:24 <SergioMeneses> andresmujica, can you tell us something about the mesh project?

    20:21:24 <andresmujica> I'm here on behalf of Ubuntu Colombia Team , so we're ready for the reapproval process Smile :)

    20:21:35 <czajkowski> andresmujica: so tell us about your team

    20:21:37 <andresmujica> thanks czajkowski thanks SergioMeneses

    20:21:40 <andresmujica> sure

    20:22:21 <andresmujica> Ubuntu Colombia is a team that is constantly evolving

    20:22:37 <andresmujica> it has been the start point for several others projects all over our country

    20:22:46 <andresmujica> one of those is the mesh project that SergioMeneses is asking about.

    20:23:18 <itnet7> andresmujica: /win 4

    20:23:22 <itnet7> lol

    20:23:24 <andresmujica> that's an amazing project

    20:23:24 <itnet7> sry

    20:23:40 <SergioMeneses> itnet7, je

    20:23:48 <andresmujica> that has grown on the root s of several members from ubuntu colombia

    20:24:01 <andresmujica> hollman, and IngForigua whom are present here.

    20:24:01 <itnet7> the Mesh project seems very cool indeed!

    20:24:02 <andresmujica> anyway

    20:24:15 <andresmujica> Ubuntu Colombia has grown by itself

    20:24:22 <andresmujica> we're currently about 3000 members

    20:24:29 <IngForigua> Hello Smile :)

    20:24:32 <andresmujica> counting all of our followers on social networks

    20:24:41 <andresmujica> mailing lists

    20:24:46 * itnet7 waves to IngForigua

    20:24:57 <andresmujica> and non internet connected members

    20:24:59 <itnet7> Nice andresmujica !

    20:25:24 <huats> I really like your application

    20:25:32 <SergioMeneses> huats, +1

    20:25:36 <huats> and the growing number of Ubuntu member is just awesome

    20:25:37 <czajkowski> andresmujica: so do you see any issues for your loco coming up?

    20:25:40 <andresmujica> +1 huats

    20:25:42 <SergioMeneses> and they have a lot of events http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-co/events/history

    20:26:16 <andresmujica> czajkowski, well in fact i do see some issues. Probably the biggest one right know is that we've got a local council in charge of helping the team to flow

    20:26:40 <andresmujica> and sometimes is hard for a newcomer to the Ubuntu Colombia team to understand the proper role of our council

    20:27:03 <czajkowski> andresmujica: yes can you tell us more about this

    20:27:03 <andresmujica> usually the people are expecting that someone else do stuff and activities and things like that

    20:27:32 <andresmujica> and it's hard to empower them so they can organize by themselves those activities.

    20:27:35 <itnet7> andresmujica: that's always difficult when new people come on board and are learning the ropes about the team

    20:27:36 * IngForigua Ubuntu-co rocks :P

    20:27:53 <andresmujica> with improvements coming

    20:28:01 <czajkowski> andresmujica: nods do you think the team needs a council and what extra powers does it bring to your team?

    20:28:02 <huats> +1

    20:28:09 <xdatap1> +1

    20:28:53 <andresmujica> czajkowski, i do believe that the team needs to be self sufficient and that means that it should not be dependeant on only one person, it should be dependant on several.. the more the merrier Smile :)

    20:28:54 <SergioMeneses> andresmujica, great work! we are ready to vote

    20:31:51 <SergioMeneses> #topic Serbian Reapproval

    20:31:58 <uros1> Hello from Belgrade, speaking in name of Serbian Ubuntu LoCo team, members present are bojce coordinator, olujicz, Beretta021, promis, maletaski, Rainmaker and me.

    20:31:59 <SergioMeneses> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SerbianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012

    20:32:20 <itnet7> Welcome uros1 and the Serbian Team!!

    20:32:22 <uros1> serb pepople ssay hi

    20:32:24 <bojce> Hello everyone

    20:32:26 <SergioMeneses> bojce, uros1 hello

    20:32:30 <czajkowski> oh more lovely artwork!

    20:32:31 <maletaski> hello

    20:32:31 <czajkowski> yay

    20:32:32 <czajkowski> Smile :)

    20:33:46 <czajkowski> http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-rs/events/history nice to see

    20:33:55 <czajkowski> uros1: how is your team doing ?

    20:34:01 <uros1> tnx we have god two years

    20:34:02 <czajkowski> Can we help ?

    20:34:03 <itnet7> beautiful job on the re-approval page!

    20:34:09 <SergioMeneses> great

    20:34:35 <uros1> In the last two years, the main problem was material delivery – CD's, due to strict customs regulations in Serbia. The team hasn't found adequate solution for this problem, and we appreciate your understanding of this

    20:34:58 <uros1> Dialogue with state institutions regarding Ubuntu and FLOSS adoption within the government system remains strategic goal of the team; the results accomplished by now raise hopes, and we believe that Council's support in the process could be stronger and more intensive.

    20:35:33 <uros1> On demand from Ministry of communications (Department of Digital society) Team is currently in process of making tutorials for general audience, on topic how to adopt Ubuntu and how to adopt FLOSS applications in business environment

    20:35:34 <uros1> This is major step forward in dialogue between Team and state administration

    20:35:44 <czajkowski> uros1: so have you beenable to receive the cds from shipit ?

    20:35:54 <uros1> only for 11.04

    20:36:14 <uros1> looking for solution, trust me

    20:36:22 <czajkowski> what is the issue what happpens?

    20:36:35 <uros1> custom problem

    20:36:40 <SergioMeneses> taxes?

    20:36:53 <czajkowski> uros1: and have you contacted shippit to see if they will help

    20:36:54 <uros1> Serbia was part of ex Yugoslavia

    20:36:57 <czajkowski> they do help where they can

    20:37:43 <uros1> so still big problem with custom, CD`s are subject of import

    20:37:56 <uros1> yes I know

    20:38:19 <huats> uros1: is it for CD received from anywhere ?

    20:38:23 <uros1> so i say again, looking for proper solutin

    20:38:50 <uros1> One time Montenegro Loco split 11.04 cd`s with us

    20:39:00 <huats> uros1: that was my idea

    20:39:16 <huats> would it be possible to send 2 pack to montenegro by instance and that you split ?

    20:39:29 <huats> not a perfect solution ...

    20:39:32 <uros1> yes, that is god solution!

    20:39:54 <itnet7> +1 huats !

    20:39:57 <uros1> very god solution if it`s possible

    20:40:08 <SergioMeneses> huats, maybe

    20:40:56 <huats> uros1: czajkowski may contradict me but you can ask that your Cd to be shipepd somewhere else

    20:41:02 <czajkowski> hmmm

    20:41:04 <SergioMeneses> but we have to speak with montenegro about this

    20:41:04 <czajkowski> not sure about that

    20:41:21 <czajkowski> I know somtimes canonical have kindly also helped pay for the vat on customs

    20:41:50 <huats> czajkowski: but that might worth doing a kind of exception

    20:42:26 <huats> (well at least to ask Smile :)

    20:42:26 <uros1> czajkowski: can we be in contact about this in future?

    20:42:30 <itnet7> Well, now that we are aware of the issue, we can at least ask offline and see if it's possible

    20:42:50 <czajkowski> uros1: of course

    20:42:56 <uros1> cool

    20:43:17 <uros1> so on the other hand, good old customers support, answering their demands on daily basis has been improved almost to perfection, and unsolved problems are almost non-existant.

    20:43:34 <uros1> in forum

    20:43:49 <huats> great to hear

    20:44:11 <uros1> old-fashioned everyday work Smile :)
