04:00   elkbuntu        Okies. who do we have here for the LoCo Teams Meeting?
04:01   rafael_carreras that's me, Catalan LoCo Contact
04:02   elkbuntu        rafael_carreras, cool. we might wait a few moments for everyone to remember
04:02   rafael_carreras ok
04:04   jenda   Burgwork: pong
04:04   elkbuntu        calling all loco people. AlinuxOS, juliux, jenda, Burgwork, nixternal, poningru?
04:05   jenda   whoa
04:05   elkbuntu        muaha. we now have two!
04:05   juliux  hi elkbuntu
04:05   AlinuxOS        elkbuntu, I'm from Georgian (ka - ) team.
04:05   jenda   elkbuntu: total coincidence ;) I was responding to Burg's ping from yesterday.
04:05   elkbuntu        three! my lucky day!
04:05   juliux  elkbuntu, what is now?
04:05   leogg   ubuntu-ni here, morning all
04:06   elkbuntu        ooh... i should try this pingspamming more often!
04:06   juliux  elkbuntu, lol
04:06   elkbuntu        anyway, welcome all
04:06   juliux  elkbuntu, ask seveas if ubotu can do that;)
04:07   elkbuntu        juliux, arming a bot, that interacts with users, with a pingspam feature.. is not a good idea :
04:07   elkbuntu        hey... i didnt say he could go :(
04:08   elkbuntu        Ok, so the main point for this meeting is to discuss the discussions had at UDS regarding LoCos
04:09   elkbuntu        we had two formal discussions, one about resources, and one about collaboration
04:10   elkbuntu        as a result of the resources discussion, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoHosting has been cleaned up, and the resources available are now better explained
04:11   Seveas  theres @nicks :)
04:11   jenda   Seveas: shhh
04:11   elkbuntu        bwaha. you speak, you stay and contribute!
04:11   elkbuntu        Seveas, were you at the resources discussion?
04:11   jenda   yes, I will :)
04:11   jenda   for a while.
04:12   elkbuntu        jenda, you were already captured, it's Seveas' turn :
04:14   elkbuntu        smurf, ping? i believe you might have been there?
04:15   jenda   elkbuntu: ah, of course - I never thought of Seveas as a LoCo team person... more like an IRC overgod ;)
04:15   elkbuntu        he's the head of the mad dutch people army
04:15   jenda   and if it ain't the French representation now :)
04:15   elkbuntu        hello yann
04:16   yann2   hey :)
=== yann2 looking for the agenda
04:16   jenda   good idea
04:16   jenda   :)
04:16   jenda   elkbuntu: linky?
04:16   yann2   no i mean, where is it? ^^
04:16   elkbuntu        jenda, i think the agenda is a wee bit old
04:16   jenda   ok
04:16   elkbuntu        i never got around to updating it
04:17   jenda   so... why is it we're here? ;)
04:17   elkbuntu        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamMeeting
04:17   elkbuntu        jenda, discussing the UDS things
04:17   elkbuntu        which i cant remember all of :(
04:17   jenda   Ah
04:17   jenda   neither can I, but I think my memory isn't to blame this time around ;)
04:17   elkbuntu        Burgwork, was taking nice notes, but he seems to be actually working or something
04:18   Seveas  weaseling around...
04:18   elkbuntu        lol
04:18   yann2   isnt the agenda the one from last time? ^^
04:18   jenda   elkbuntu: at 11 AM on sunday... maybe he's in church :)
04:18   elkbuntu        yann2, yes, thats why i said it was a wee bit out of date
04:18   yann2   *g*
04:18   yann2   so, what are the issues today?
04:19   elkbuntu        jenda, discussing the UDS things \n s/jenda/yann/
04:19   jenda   hehe
04:19   jenda   ya, I got that part... ;)
04:19   elkbuntu        jenda, i was repeating for yann
04:20   jenda   ok, ok :)
04:21   jenda   elkbuntu: and those are...?
04:21   elkbuntu        anyway, the resources issues were discussed. I cant remember who smurf said he had offloaded to, and jono was going to work on passing the mailing list request QA to someone else
04:21   jenda   elkbuntu: for those of us who couldn't attend...
04:21   jenda   ok
04:21   elkbuntu        jenda, patience please
04:21   elkbuntu        but either way, some of the bottlenecks should be gone, or should go soon in terms of resources
04:22   yann2   I got some things i would enjoy to discuss with you, it there is an "others" in this meeting :)
04:22   elkbuntu        secondly, we discussed collaboration between locos and other teams
04:22   elkbuntu        yann2, we'll see how we go
04:22   yann2   elkbuntu> secondly, we discussed collaboration between locos and other teams <- it may be this one, depending what you mean :)
04:23   elkbuntu        richard weideman gave us an example, in terms of the education representatives that teams are encouraged to appoint
04:24   elkbuntu        these could be someone in the team who is a teacher or has an interest in education, to help feed information into the education/edubuntu teams
04:24   elkbuntu        basically keeping the edu guys briefed on what challenges still exist locally, what local teachers/students/institutions are looking for, etc etc
04:25   elkbuntu        these sorts of roles can be equally appropriate for instance with the Marketing Team, or possibly even the Art Team, who with enough prodding may establish local art packages (as an example of course)
04:26   elkbuntu        things like that.
04:26   elkbuntu        yann2 was that what you wanted to discuss?
04:26   yann2   points of collaboration with locos from other projets - i got sources telling me that mozilla may start a loco project
04:27   elkbuntu        that's awesome
04:27   elkbuntu        we most certainly encourage them to work with us
04:27   yann2   although just rumours for now :)
04:28   yann2   and then i don't know for you, but we have a lot of issues with that "sexism" story :(
04:28   elkbuntu        yann2, we can discuss that one later
04:28   elkbuntu        not in this meeting
04:28   yann2   np
04:28   elkbuntu        ok, i think that's about it for what i can remember from UDS
04:29   elkbuntu        now, I'm going to remind people that now is the perfect time to start thinking about organising an event for Software Freedom Day
04:30   elkbuntu        it's a perfect thing for locos to organise around. if there's a number of lugs running events in your countries, making sure there's ubuntu representation at those lug's events is a Really Good Idea
04:30   jenda   elkbuntu: in my personal opinion, the main role of the marketing team is to supply LoCo teams with resources and gather them from other LoCo teams - the other roles it fulfills right now (intra-community communication such as the UWN/magazine/etc) aren't really marketing per se.
04:31   elkbuntu        jenda, it goes both ways. translations, uwn stories
04:31   jenda   (just my 2 regarding LoCo-MT cooperation)
04:31   elkbuntu        locos are an ideal contact point for translators who dont yet know rosetta, for example
04:31   jenda   indeed
04:32   elkbuntu        someone wanting to have something to prove themselves on, before going for the real deal
04:32   jenda   BTW, Rosetta is not used by our translation team anymore.
04:32   jenda   It has been found insufficient for its task, as it doesn't offer enough flexibility and cooperation with the upstream.
04:32   jenda   but that's another issue.
04:32   elkbuntu        indeed it is
04:33   jenda   (And I'm not the one most knowledgeable in the subject)
04:33   elkbuntu        that is one that should be discussed directly with the rosetta guys, imho
04:33   jenda   I believe it has been, but let's not go into that.
04:34   elkbuntu        right. so back to Software Freedom Day... who else has started planning?
04:35   leogg   elkbuntu, we are organizing the event here in .ni
04:35   leogg   no lugs involved so far
04:35   elkbuntu        for those who dont know what it is, Software Freedom Day (SFD) is on saturday september 15th, when open source addicts go out and infect others with the fever ;)
04:35   yann2   jenda , sorry, which locoteam are you from again?
04:36   jenda   yann2: Czech
04:36   yann2   thx :)
04:36   elkbuntu        leogg, it's a good idea to get them on board, as they will be able to provide additional people to help run it, and also, different information and more points of view
04:37   leogg   elkbuntu, sadly there are no strong lugs in our country, only the ubuntu team but we have some people from suse and fedor on board :)
04:37   elkbuntu        information about the day can be found at http://softwarefreedomday.org/ and teams that register before 31st of July will get some free tshirts, balloons and cds to help run the day
04:38   elkbuntu        Note to self: time for a reminder about it on the loco list
04:38   rafael_carreras elkbuntu: good idea
04:39   elkbuntu        for up and coming teams, organising this is a great thing to put on an application for official status :)
04:39   elkbuntu        ok. i think this is about all for this topic. does anyoen else have anything they wanted to bring up?
04:44   elkbuntu        ok then. meeting closed. thank you all for coming :)
