20:20:26 <czajkowski> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda
20:20:45 <czajkowski> so we'll start with the Ubuntu ZA loco
20:20:54 <czajkowski> #topic Re approval of Ubuntu ZA loco
20:21:04 <maiatoday> we are ready
20:21:05 <inetpro> \o/
20:21:06 <czajkowski> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/ReApprovalApplication2012
20:21:12 <nuvolari> whoot
20:21:13 <SergioMeneses> where is ubuntu-za?
20:21:14 <czajkowski> thanks for coming folks
20:21:21 <maiatoday> we are in south africa
20:21:27 <Kilos> SergioMeneses, we are here 20:21:47 * nlsthzn waves.... 20:21:52 * superfly raises his hand
20:21:53 <maiatoday> I am the contact for ubuntu-za SergioMeneses
20:21:55 <czajkowski> hiya so care to tell ius about your team
20:21:55 <magespawn_> here
20:22:00 <czajkowski> maiatoday: hi
20:22:05 <czajkowski> how are things going in the loco ? 20:22:14 * inetpro wonders whether highvoltage even realises that we're here for re-approval
20:22:19 <maiatoday> Our LoCo is spread out over the whole country
20:22:35 <maiatoday> so we have pockets of people who meet online and who try to organise local regional events
20:22:39 <czajkowski> nods
20:22:44 <czajkowski> like many locos
20:22:50 <maiatoday> we have release parties and ubuntu hours
20:23:07 <maiatoday> also we have managed to get a distribution system going with regional contacts for the DVDs
20:23:15 <nuvolari> 3 main regions I'd say?
20:23:20 <itnet7> Nice!
20:23:37 <maiatoday> there are about 15 people who are regional contacts
20:23:40 <SergioMeneses> :O
20:23:41 <czajkowski> wow you've been busy http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-za/events/history
20:23:42 <SergioMeneses> great
20:24:14 <maiatoday> I usually send an email on the mailing list just to make sure the regional contacts are still happy to get DVDs and update the list for each release 20:24:44 * superfly didn't think they'd been terribly busy
20:24:45 <maiatoday> This also helps to connect the LoCo as a whole I have found
20:25:14 <maiatoday> do you have any specific questions?
20:25:19 <czajkowski> maiatoday: can you tell us how you've done the regional contacts bit
20:25:28 <czajkowski> I'd like to hear more about this 20:25:38 * inetpro agrees with superfly, we have lot's more to do
20:25:43 <maiatoday> first a mailing list ping with a cutoff date
20:25:54 <maiatoday> then people send me their info
20:26:07 <czajkowski> nods
20:26:10 <czajkowski> cool
20:26:10 <maiatoday> I get the box of DVDs and make up parcels for everybody on the list
20:26:28 <SergioMeneses> sounds really good... micahg, has your team some problem? or something to share with us?
20:26:31 <maiatoday> then each person has to add their info to the website and look out on the mailing list if anyone needs CDs
20:26:45 <czajkowski> maiatoday: how have you found getting people involve in the loco, easy, do people look to get more involved.
20:27:07 <maiatoday> this has been interesting, I was very active for a while then I became busy
20:27:31 <maiatoday> we had a bit of a slump and then people just volunteered and started doing stuff
20:27:42 <maiatoday> so in a way it was good that I was busy
20:27:47 <SergioMeneses> maiatoday, like all of us
20:27:52 <highvoltage> inetpro: hey there, I didn't but thanks for the poke
20:28:03 <nuvolari> most of us are busy, but we try hard to build the loco
20:28:17 <inetpro> highvoltage: wb
20:28:22 <Kilos> lo highvoltage
20:28:24 <maiatoday> so now it seems that more people have tried doing things like chair monthly meetings and doing reports
20:28:27 <superfly> highvoltage: o/
20:28:36 <maiatoday> which means we have more involved people
20:28:36 <itnet7> hey there highvoltage \o/!
20:28:44 <czajkowski> maiatoday: so rotating activities seems to be a good ting to do
20:29:03 <maiatoday> rotating is great
20:29:03 <kbmonkey> when someone is awol there is someone else to pick up the pace.
20:29:05 <nuvolari> yeah, spread the load worked wonders
20:29:15 <maiatoday> and it's more fun
20:29:21 <nuvolari> we also have mentors that guide us newbies to run tasks
20:29:30 <magespawn_> builds skills too
20:30:07 <czajkowski> is there any issues or stuff you've stuggled with ?
20:30:30 <highvoltage> inetpro, superfly, Kilos, maiatoday: hey everyone! I won't add too much noise since I haven't been involved at all, but it's awesome to see that all of you are keeping it alive and going over there!
20:30:31 <inetpro> we need more official members
20:30:42 <maiatoday> also I think it is healthy in a LoCo for members to see new people are encouraged to do things, so new people feel confident
20:30:54 <czajkowski> inetpro: offical in what way ?
20:31:04 <czajkowski> maiatoday: is there anything we the loco council can do to help you guys?
20:31:09 <maiatoday> I was worried when we had a bit of a slump but it all turned around
20:31:23 <itnet7> czajkowski: official ubuntu membership
20:31:24 <maiatoday> I don't think so at the moment, we have good momentum at the moment
20:31:30 <nuvolari> from my perspective the greatest struggle is still the fact that in my area we're quite far apart, so running get-togethers are harder to accomplish, but we made progress the last couple of months
20:31:35 <tumbleweed> I think sometimes there needs to be a bit of a gap for people to see that they need to step up and get involved
20:31:39 <inetpro> czajkowski: we need more members to take part in here on a regular basis for example

20:35:25 <Toluxero> hi itnet7
20:35:59 <itnet7> Hey there!
20:36:13 <czajkowski> who's the team contact folks?
20:36:19 <SergioMeneses> chilicuil, are you the voice of your team'? 20:36:26 * czajkowski must fix the wiki page and add back in the team contact to the form
20:36:30 <chilicuil> it's Toluxero , SergioMeneses

20:36:49 <chilicuil> but we're all here to support it
20:37:01 <czajkowski> Toluxero: hey so care to tell us about the loco?
20:37:03 <SergioMeneses> Toluxero, hello 20:37:46 * fitoschido does a drum-roll :P
20:37:55 <itnet7> Toluxero: SergioMeneses speaks spanish if it will help
20:38:07 <Toluxero> Ok gracias
20:38:09 <itnet7> though you're probably typing away
20:38:23 <Toluxero> ubuntu México es el equipo local de Ubuntu en nuestro paÃs
20:38:39 <Toluxero> este tiene una historia un poco larga entre ella dos intentos previos de de AppApp
20:38:44 <chilicuil> ubuntu Mexico is the local ubuntu team in our country
20:38:53 <itnet7> Thanks chilicuil !
20:38:59 <SergioMeneses> chilicuil, ++
20:39:20 <Toluxero> no muy fructuosos, es por eso que hemos estado trabajando en la difusión de ubuntu y más proyectos para la comunidad en nuestro paÃs
20:39:21 <chilicuil> we've a long history, we've already tried twice to become a formal team
20:39:27 <fitoschido> and it has already applied twice to this since its inception 6 years ago
20:39:36 <SergioMeneses> I see
20:39:53 <Toluxero> como podrán ver en nuestra AppApp, Hemos trabajado ultimamente con una comunidad enfocada a la capital del paÃs Ubuntu-DF
20:40:30 <chilicuil> we failed in our previous attemps, but that only motivated us to keep organizated more events
20:40:39 <SergioMeneses> Toluxero, pero ustedes trabajan tambien con gente de otras ciudades?
20:40:55 <fitoschido> like the last ubuntu release party with our friends at ubuntu df
20:40:59 <chilicuil> as you can see in our appapp we've been working with other more local teams, such as ubuntu-df
20:41:17 <fitoschido> i advocate in my state, Aguascalientes
20:41:24 <Toluxero> SergioMeneses: SÃ, pero el equipo más formalizado en el interior del paÃs es de Ubunt-DF
20:41:28 <Toluxero> ubuntu-df*
20:41:57 <Toluxero> los ubuntu members dentro del paÃs estamos en distintos puntos de México
20:42:16 <fitoschido> ubuntu members are spread all over the country
20:42:25 <itnet7> I think you've done a really great job so far, The only thing I would like to mention, is that it's hard to learn more about what your team has done without up to date team reports
20:42:48 <Toluxero> Estado de México, DF, Aguascaliantes, y además otros usuarios que aún no son ubuntu members apoyan al equipo a través de la distribución de CD's
20:43:00 <Toluxero> pequeñas reuniones
20:43:00 <czajkowski> it is a lovely wiki application!
20:43:25 <SergioMeneses> I like the videos!
20:43:29 <Toluxero> e inclusive se han realizado algunos Hangouts que se han caÃdo por el exceso de usuarios
20:43:33 <itnet7> Definitely outstanding work, the pictures are great, and the wiki is awesome
20:43:33 <chilicuil> itnet7: we use the loco directory to post our events, what do you mean when u say we dont have up to date reports?
20:43:57 <fitoschido> thanks!
20:43:59 <czajkowski> http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-mx/events/history
20:44:14 <fitoschido> we have weekly g+ hangouts as well
20:44:18 <czajkowski> fitoschido: oh nice!
20:45:26 <fitoschido> those "Hour Dev: Sharing development" are a kind of reports on which chilicuil narrates his motu adventure
20:45:38 <fitoschido> and teaches us how to fix bugs and the like
20:45:43 <SergioMeneses> fitoschido, it is a very good idea! you can use it in the bug-jam
20:46:37 <fitoschido> Altrough I talk about localization
20:46:49 <fitoschido> each user talks about their area of expertise
20:47:02 <itnet7> chilicuil: one of the things we used to look at were: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMxTeam/TeamReports
20:47:05 <SergioMeneses> fitoschido, chilicuil tienen algun problema en el team? algo en lo que el loco-council les pueda colaborar?
20:47:29 <itnet7> I guess you guys stopped doing those reports and began use the Loco Team Portal instead
20:47:49 <fitoschido> SergioMeneses, no se me ocurre nada en particular.
20:47:58 <itnet7> The Ubuntu Weekly news used to get most of it's content from Team Reports
20:47:59 <chilicuil> SergioMeneses: no, justo ahora nada, todo corre bien
20:48:02 <fitoschido> itnet7: yep, that was the case
20:48:21 <chilicuil> itnet7: well, then we'll start creating those reports
20:48:47 <fitoschido> we can use the new community-announce list for the weekly news, I guess
20:48:49 <SergioMeneses> chilicuil, please dont forget the reports
20:48:57 <itnet7> chilicuil: Awesome, It would just be a very good encouragement
20:48:58 <SergioMeneses> fitoschido, sure!
20:49:28 <itnet7> and we (I) am working on trying to help make it easier with using the LTP
20:49:48 <itnet7> hopefully that will be soon
20:49:51 <fitoschido> we overlooked it, it seems :P
20:49:56 <itnet7> no worries
20:50:02 <SergioMeneses> itnet7, rocks!
20:50:06 <itnet7> Outstanding
20:50:19 <czajkowski> anything else you want to tell us folks?
