03:03 dholbach ok, let's get started: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda is our agenda for today 03:03 dholbach is srimadas here? 03:03 dholbach amachu seems to be his nick on freenode 03:04 jsgotangco yes that's amachu 03:04 dholbach ok, amachu seems to not be around... he asked for a clarification on "Ubuntu Derivative - reg. Recently we had the formation of Ubuntu Derivative Team. It appears that some gap has been formed in between [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2007-April/001280.html] following this mail and its replies. Would like to get clarified on such issues." 03:04 dholbach I can just add a few points to that: 03:05 dholbach I'm in touch with David Farning at the moment, but until now the issues he talked about are rather nebulous to me - I don't exactly know what problem there was with Canonical 03:06 dholbach we should invite amachu and dfarning to one of the next meetings and talk about this again 03:06 jsgotangco my take on this one is that it falls pretty much under the trademark policy under derived works just like how other derivatives fall under 03:06 sabdfl I've not heard anything from dfarning on the subject 03:06 dholbach also, I asked the sysadmins to create a ubuntu-derivative mailing list - I will announce it and I hope that will make us work closer together with the derivatives 03:07 dholbach we had some very good sessions with the guys from Guadalinex at UDS, so I'm very confident this will help improve things 03:07 sabdfl ok. we have a very strong pro-derivative policy in general, and want them to feel welcome to use ubuntu as it suits them 03:07 sabdfl next? 03:08 dholbach juliux proposed "CCAgenda freeze - The wikipage for the CommunityCouncilAgenda, should be frozen a few days before the CC Meeting so everybody can check if the items are interesting to him or not." 03:08 sabdfl i'd rather not, as it would introduce greater delays i think 03:08 jsgotangco was the wiki page frozen at all? I noticed changes until this morning...but then it only took me an hour to read everything 03:08 sabdfl that said, we don't want people adding items during the meeting, either :-) 03:08 dholbach hehe 03:09 MikeB- :) 03:09 juliux i put that up because there were some people adding himself for membership just a few minutes before the meeting 03:09 gnomefreak freezing it would help keep meetings shorter 03:09 kjcole Seems wise, considering the CC meets fairly regularly. On the other hand one can always freeze it an hour before rather than days. 03:09 jsgotangco i believe a placeholder notice would do for now 03:09 kjcole (Perhaps "hours" rather than an hour or days.) 03:09 juliux i think the general agenda items should be froozen, so everybody knows about the items for the next meeting 03:10 juliux kjcole, did you check the agenda every hour? 03:10 sabdfl what about taking a different approach to discussion items vs memberships/loco's 03:10 sabdfl i see no problem with someone adding themselves for membership just before hand, as long as they have folks there who will speak for them to backup their wiki pages and lp track record 03:10 juliux sabdfl, i am happy if the general items are frozen a few days before the meeting 03:11 sabdfl for discussion items, it makes sense to freeze a little earlier (though i don't think more than 24 hours is needed) 03:11 Seveas sorry for being late, network problems 03:11 kjcole juliux, no but it seemed like a compromise between not freezing, and freezing days ahead. And I would check a few hours ahead if that were the established policy. (Or live with the uncertainty.) 03:11 sabdfl also, it should be good practice to notify anyone concerned that an item was added 03:11 sabdfl especially in the case of a dispute 03:11 sabdfl so we get the chance to hear from all sides 03:12 jsgotangco that's ideal 03:12 Seveas sabdfl, good idea 03:12 Seveas (was the first item on the agenda skipped?) 03:13 dholbach Seveas: amachu was not here 03:13 sabdfl no, just rapidly dispensed with 03:13 Seveas ok 03:13 kjcole Encourage people who add agenda items to subscribe? (I get automatic notices when the CC agenda page changes...) 03:13 sabdfl so, can we agree on 24 hours for discussion items, and just before for memberships/locos? 03:13 dholbach I'm happy with that 03:13 kjcole Maybe a note on the agenda page suggesting subscription? 03:13 Seveas likewise 03:13 MikeB- sabdfl: sounds good 03:14 jsgotangco yes 03:14 juliux sabdfl, sounds good 03:14 dennda nice idea 03:14 sabdfl ok, i think that's sufficient consensus, seveas could you update the page accordingly? 03:15 Seveas will do 03:15 dholbach next item: Uzuul wants blessing for the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMediaCenterTeam 03:15 Uzuul I've put the latest status & roadmap here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMediaCenterTeam/Status20070514 03:16 Uzuul we're on the road to success, federating *all* the players in the field (Debian, Ubuntu, Elisa, LIRC, ...) to work together... 03:17 jsgotangco that's a healthy spread of team members 03:18 Uzuul jsgot: yeah ;-) 03:18 mako i hope you got my message 15 minutes before saying i'd be miss the beginning of hte meeting 03:18 jsgotangco how do you forsee this project going during gutsy development? 03:19 mako apologies for the disruption, i'm reading scrollback 03:19 Uzuul jsgotangco: well, we will have releasable things. Elisa 0.2 will be out for the Guadec, packages are underway... 03:19 elmo sorry, but what does federating mean in this context? 03:20 Uzuul the only point is about the artwork (missing gfx designers) and the achievement of our UI goals. I've no exact idea yet! 03:20 dholbach looks like you have lots of ideas and a lot of people in the team 03:20 dholbach how many people are working on getting the changes you propose into Ubuntu? 03:20 Uzuul elmo: team members, working together on the same aims... 03:21 Uzuul dholbach: some 10 peoples really active. but we are quickly growing... 03:21 dudanogueira Uzuul, i know a very good gfx designer. vdepizzol. he probably will be very interested in design it. 03:21 dholbach I'm asking because the goals you propose in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MediaCenter/SoftwareSpecs look quite some work 03:22 Uzuul dholbach: we work a lot upstream, so hitting ubuntu by side effect... 03:22 Uzuul dholbach: Elisa team already address a lot ;-) Isn't it Kaleo 03:22 Kaleo About the artwork, we have a graphist in the Elisa team 03:23 Uzuul dudanogueira: thanks for this. I'll contact him... 03:23 Kaleo Feature-wise, Elisa is meant to achieve many of the points listed in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MediaCenter/SoftwareSpecs soon 03:23 sabdfl as i understand it, the initial step is just packaging Elisa, right? 03:24 sabdfl that in itself would be a very good start 03:24 dudanogueira Uzuul, he is right here: http://vdepizzol.wordpress.com/ 03:24 jsgotangco that's how i got it as well 03:24 jsgotangco package Elisa, and have it on Ubuntu as a good platform 03:24 sabdfl that's fine by me! 03:24 Uzuul sabdfl: right ! I'm working, as a DD, with Loic Minier, on this point. 03:24 sabdfl super 03:25 sabdfl once you have a core piece of software like that in place, you can build a custom derivative easily enough 03:25 Uzuul sabdfl: but that's just a small beginning. The big things comes then ;-) 03:25 sabdfl well, let's take one step at a time :-) 03:26 jsgotangco there's huge interest in having free software in the entertainment hub and having this go along with Ubuntu will definitely create a following 03:26 Uzuul sabdfl: right, but some things can be done in // without impacting the schedule (like the LIRC improvements) ;-) 03:26 sabdfl we get a LOT of requests for media centre functionality, so it will be great to be able to point folks at Elisa 03:26 sabdfl LIRC? 03:26 Seveas infrared 03:26 Seveas remote control things 03:26 jsgotangco ahh for all-in-one remotes 03:26 mako sabdfl: absolutely 03:26 Treenaks (shouldn't lirc be replaced by proper kernel input drivers?) 03:26 dholbach I'm very happy you're keen on getting this done and are so enthusiastic about it; I'm with sabdfl here: I'd recommend splitting up the long list of goals in tiny tiny tasks, so you can easily track them and get people involved with them 03:26 Uzuul sabdfl: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RemoteControls 03:27 Daviey Treenaks, being worked on already 03:27 Treenaks Daviey: \o/ 03:28 Uzuul Daviey: can you contact me back for more info? I have a task underway upstream on that... 03:28 Daviey Uzuul, pm 03:28 Uzuul dholbach: the tasks splitting is planned. 03:29 sabdfl Uzuul: what do you need from us right now? 03:29 Uzuul sabdfl: an official blessing, and a mailing list. 03:30 sabdfl +1 from me 03:30 MikeB- +1 from me, definitely an area Ubuntu should support 03:31 jsgotangco there's some work to be done, but it seems there is more work being accomplished upstream, so I would give my +1 as well to have something for Ubuntu in the future 03:31 dholbach +1 03:31 mako if you really have ~30 members, it seems that this would be overdue 03:31 mako +1 from me 03:32 sabdfl elmo? 03:33 dholbach Uzuul: it'd be nice to hear back from you team every now and then to see how you're progressing (maybe on one of the other mailing lists) 03:33 elmo +1 03:33 sabdfl Uzuul: i think you can proceed, elmo will likely chime in with additional comments and questions in due course 03:33 sabdfl ok 03:33 sabdfl congrats Uzuul! please keep us posted, and good luck building your team 03:33 jsgotangco Uzuul: good luck along with the team! 03:33 sabdfl ok, loco's! 03:33 Kaleo thank you guys :) 03:33 sabdfl kjcole: around? 03:33 Uzuul sabdfl: thanks fellows. I'll keep you informed (any prefered ml?) === kjcole is here === rafael_carreras is here 03:34 sabdfl Uzuul: keep the UWN folks abreast of news that the whole community will be interested in, and perhaps report back here every month or so initially 03:34 dudanogueira Uzuul, congrats! 03:35 Uzuul all: thanks. we'll do the necessary to succeed. see you soon. bye === beuno takes notes for the UWN 03:35 beuno Uzuul: get in touch with me for the UWN 03:38 Treenaks sabdfl: www.xs4all.nl/~johnpc/uniud/ 03:46 Uzuul beuno: ok, I'll update you asap for the first milestones. 03:34 sabdfl dcteam! 03:34 sabdfl let's go 03:35 kjcole Hi. The Washington, DC LoCo Team's been around for a while but we were under the impression that we'd been formalized. 03:35 jsgotangco anyone from DC team aside from kjcole 03:35 jsgotangco ahh 03:35 flint jsgotangco, I am here. 03:36 kjcole jelkner's on, but teaching class, so attendance is spotty at best. 03:36 sabdfl i've been aware of this team for some time, also thought they were formalised 03:36 kjcole We've now got a forum, and are scheduling meetings. 03:36 jsgotangco yes same here 03:36 jsgotangco and this is a fairly active team in the US, if not the first 03:37 jsgotangco (especially in the education front) 03:37 flint sabdfl, I formed this group after Ubuntu Down Under. that was a while ago.... 03:37 Seveas lots of madness in there :) 03:37 kjcole Our web site is undergoing change now, as we work with high school students, and they get the opportunity to redesign it. 03:38 sabdfl ok, kjcole do you want anything other than a quick ack? we know and love ya :-) 03:38 jsgotangco yes, i even got to talk to jeffrey elkner in person that they were forming something... 03:38 mako sure, i'd be in a bunch of touch with flint and kjcole about the team 03:38 jono the dc team looks promising 03:38 kjcole I guess we're just looking for the official blessing / rubber stamp. 03:38 Vorian I can vouch that the DC team does a LOT for the DC area... Great team! 03:38 jono membership is quite low though 03:38 mako if anything, i think we might have really pushed the team before there was a formal procedure 03:38 sabdfl kjcole: any recent events or highlights you can tell us about? 03:39 kjcole We're planning the Free/Open Source Software in Education conference (FOSSED) for August. That's the biggest thing on our plate. 03:40 jelkner we are setting up several community computing center in the dc area using edubuntu 03:40 sabdfl where will that be held? 03:40 flint sabdfl, they have the yhslug meeting coming up Friday. 03:40 kjcole Once again, we'll be doing Software Freedom Day (year 3 for us) and the Takoma Park Folk Festival (year 2) in the fall. 03:40 jono kjcole: what plans do you have to grow the membership? 03:40 jelkner jono: our membership doubled in the last month 03:40 jono jelkner: right 03:40 kjcole Gallaudet University, my place of gainful employment. But we're aiming at K-12 primarily. 03:40 Vorian jono, they have a new forum on ubuntu forums, that should be a big boost. 03:41 jelkner we really need to just be more aggressive in asking folks to formalize it 03:41 jelkner we've been a bit lax in that 03:41 flint jono, the goal is also aimed at the U.S. high school age 11-18 years old... 03:41 jono right 03:41 popey sabdfl, elmo, mako, I have to disappear, but Daviey asked me to flag wave for him. Consider this a flag wave :) 03:41 mako popey: sounds good, thanks 03:41 kjcole For a team that's based around an area not even considered a state, how big a membership should we have? We're trying to keep it to people who are genuinely interested enough to get signed up on Launchpad... 03:42 jsgotangco surely you can get more people with enough exposure to local events? 03:43 MikeB- jono: the DC area is a different beast, since it is such a commuter town. 03:44 jelkner i have a question about this... 03:44 jelkner we touch a lot of people 03:44 jono team looks good to me 03:44 flint The point of the DC LoCo is that it should be "grandfathered" in because it lead the whole LoCo concept. Is this a numbers game, or is having representation in the US Capitol just a good idea? 03:44 jelkner most of them will not become "members" 03:44 jono but I would like them to concentrate on growing membership 03:44 jelkner we think of members as activists 03:44 kjcole Well, there are people who are interested as end-users... And, we're starting to get local "competition" (for lack of a friendlier word). 03:44 jelkner we will work for more members 03:45 sabdfl i don't think there's a "necessary threshold" of numbers === mako nods to sabdfl 03:45 sabdfl and the DC team has pioneered a number of great concepts in the use of free software in education 03:45 jsgotangco it still does for sure 03:45 mako the only reason that the DC loco isn't "official" is that they predate the official concept 03:45 sabdfl so i'm +1 on formalising them as an Ubuntu LoCo team 03:45 dholbach I'm personally quite happy with what the DC team did until now 03:45 jono indeed, membership is not an identification of a good team, it just helps with sustainability, and it is clear the DC team is doing good work 03:45 kjcole (Within a short subway ride we have the DCLUG, NOVALUG, YHSLUG, UMDLUG, DC Loco, NE US Regional Loco, MD Loco... 03:45 flint The DC LoCo is also affiliated with no less than three LUGs in the DC area, in DC, Maryland and Virginia. 03:46 dholbach (and thought it was formalised already) 03:46 kjcole We were just first among LoCo's.) 03:46 mako i think it should be *every* teams goal to grow membership in that one of the goals to spread the word 03:46 mako that said, while the numbers of participants can be a very good sign of the activity within a loco, it shouldn't be a litmus test 03:46 jono mako: exactly 03:46 flint mako, we spread the code, and all else comes to pass. 03:46 dholbach +1 from me: uo o 03:46 mako jono: i mean, 1 person is not much of a team :) 03:47 jsgotangco +1 as well o 03:47 jono mako: heh 03:47 mako +1 from me 03:47 MikeB- +1 from me 03:47 jono mako: you should have seen a recent approval application I got ;) 03:48 mako "No (Wo)Man Is A LoCo" 03:48 jsgotangco jelkner: whatever happened to colin applegate 03:48 jelkner he is back 03:48 jelkner was away at college 03:48 jelkner now back for the summer 03:48 jsgotangco good to hear 03:48 jsgotangco time flies 03:48 mako although they might be loco 03:48 kjcole Thank you all. Does one of you update the LoCo page or shall we move ourselves? 03:48 flint Colin is asleep as one could expect from most teenagers... 03:49 Vorian congrats kjcole and flint!!! uo o :) 03:49 juliux kjcole, why are you wearing a fedora on the picture on your wikisite? 03:50 flint juliux, I agree with you on this point. But I think the Red Hat is worn in pity. 03:50 flint :^0 03:51 mako juliux, kjcole: fedoras are nice hats 03:49 jojopas Good Evening sirs. It's getting awfully late here and I need to go home. But before I leave, I would like to endorse Mr. Dax Umaming. My name is Jojo Pascua and I attended mr. Umaming's Ubuntu Training held at Lourdes College in Daet, Camarines Norte, Philippines last April 11. I learned a lot from him and he accomplished a lot in just one day. His training was very precise and will surely help out the school. I'm now using Kubuntu. By the 03:49 jojopas way,he managed to convert the whole school to use Ubuntu. And because of him, single-handedly, 800 Kinder, Elementary, high School, and College students will be using Xubuntu 7 this coming school year in June. Also, he'll be back by the 3rd or 4th week of June for another trainig, but this time it's for the local gov't of Daet, with gov't agencies joining him. I hope you consider him. I'm not a member of Ubuntu rarely in IRC, so my apologies if I disturbed anyone. thank you and Goodnigth! 03:49 jsgotangco ummm jojopas bless you 03:49 jojopas sorry 03:50 sabdfl thanks jojopas 03:51 Seveas (I added that to the wikipage of Dax Umaming) 03:48 Seveas Next: beuno and the Argentina team 03:49 beuno thanks Seveas 03:49 mako a particiuarly appropriate comment for the argentina team? 03:49 beuno mornin' sabdfl 03:49 kjcole Because Ubuntu doesn't have as nice a looking hat. ;-) 03:49 beuno I'm Martin Albisetti and I'm representing the Argentina LoCo today. The team has been active for over eight months, and in that time we've grown up to over 100 members in Launchpad alone, participated in a few Instalfests and promoted Ubuntu all over the Country. Some of us have even traveled over 400km to other locations and setup booths to talk to people in conferences (see some great pictures linked in the Wiki). We also provide *a lot* of support to users in the forums and Mailing List. Links: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArgentinaTeamApprovalApplication and https://launchpad.net/~uluga/ 03:51 jono have we not got to the catalan team yet? 03:51 rafael_carreras Nice to meet you, Council 03:51 mako jono: nope 03:51 jono mako: right 03:51 sabdfl ok, Catalan team? 03:52 rafael_carreras here we are 03:52 sabdfl fire away 03:52 rafael_carreras The Ubuntu Catalan LoCo Team is a very active, fast growing group of people that gathers the Catalan-speaking users community of Ubuntu in all its varieties. The scope of the Catalan LoCo Team is mainly the Catalan Countries, that is, the territories where Catalan is traditionally spoken, where members and volunteers are scattered practically all over their geography. Its aim is to support and promote Ubuntu amongst the Catalan 03:52 rafael_carreras speaking community as it is the most important resource of information about Ubuntu in this language.

I've been a linux user on and off for about 10 years. I've been using Ubuntu exclusively since Breezy. I started getting involved in the Ubuntu community at the beginning of this year. I've been helping the Georgia US LoCo get started and helping out as much as I can on the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter (it was Corey Burger's idea for me to apply for membership). And recently I've started working on the LoCo h 04:15 boredandblogging osting admin team. My wiki page is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NickAli 04:16 Vorian boredandblogging, has done tremendous work for the Marketing Team, his loco team in Georgia (US) and the US teams project.
