Yerp yeppers! ok that was easy, 3 to go hi seisen hey seisen seisen: you also got a yes on the polls. would you like to be on the council? yes 3 down, 2 to go actually nvm :-) i'm me and theidiotthatisme just left :-p i'll say yes to whatever i ask myself :P I don't know what he is going to do though. hahaha theidiotthatisme will most likely say yes but i will wait until he returns yes ok, so now i have to sign into the membership panel here... and ctrl+f for names So this means 5 members on the council ? yup seems to be Thought there were only supposed to be 3 i don't believe we set a limit... or did we? 3 council members * jacob looks up because we had the teams led by the council members true however i don't think we had to have everyone on a subteam, can anyone confirm? I thought it was just a general council and then some of them would be on the subteams that is what I assumed i cant confirm sorry, but it does seem like it was just a general council that lead the subteams as one that's what i was thinking isnt there a log on the wiki? it might be in there well, i'm going to go ahead and add y'all (cept for theidiotthatisme for now) onto LP thanks Jacob and we'll debate this subteams thing tonight because i can't think of a thing for the comment field i'm just screaming into it omg I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance! by switching to geico? Nationwide actually lol haha :P by staying out of an accident? :p yeah ^ good job :-) i'm going to GIMP up a picture of two thoughts of organization i'm having for this council chat on until then :D ok wow thats an extra 50$ a month im going to be saving OMGOMGOMGOMGOGM yay nice in a few months you can buy a new router (sorry I just can't get over it) haha tell em to return it simple enough what brand did they buy anyway? no idea he got off right after I scolded him :-p the thing is is that I have talked to him about different wireless routers... he's the one that brought it up, asked questions, and seemed to be interested. I bet I wasted 30 minutes on it but there's been several other issues where he has talked to me about something and then does something completely different Well does his router have a built in WOL ? I doubt it Does his router have HotSpot HTTP redirect ? I doubt it Does his router have the power to heal cancer, and make babies like mine? I doubt it I bet it's just an average Wireless N hahahaha Wireless N lol waste of money Wireless Nothing ha Wireless Nerfherders for his purpose especially * Delvien is listening to Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger okay i'm doing really bad at drawing this out I bet he/ his parents think their internet will be faster (even though I explained that it will actually be slower by sharing it between 2-3 computers) you should of let me do it :p so i might just explain it :P :-p jacob do what i did, draw it on a piece of paper, and take a picture actually never mind, this is a trivial launchpad thing true Delvien :P jacob we kind of already discussed team structure . Delvien: i know, this is just a LP organizational thing well, if we decide on what to do i can make it look nice and pretty at another time which again is really trivial Trivial Pursuit? :-p hehe it's just to do with having a council team be the owner of the ohio team vs having 5 admins of the team what's the difference? now that i think of it i think the latter is preferred anyway, since the loco admins want a team contact to send CDs to jacob http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6satao0&s=1, really really trivial thing tnseditor, i don't know why i'm bringing it up :P :-p though that makes me think of something Delvien: hehe you know how we get 200 CDs from shipit (used to be 500 :( ) ? 500? for those panera parties and whatnot yes I know we get some just never knew that there were ever 500 yeah it was 500 before the US loco project began and a whole bunch of locos appeared about a year ago :-p anyway i haven't poked whoever it may be to get contact info on where to ship those yet oh does anyone in particular want to hold them to take to the release parties/events/whatever? I would, but I never know for sure if I can I will (come to an event) same here, i would be willing to if i knew that i could commit to being at the events you all duke it out, as i'm shady on being available for some events at times I can make it to every meeting indef. unless I meet an insanely beautiful woman who will take all of my time (doubtfull) hehe well, Delvien said he would be willing to a minute ago, sounds like he is the only one who seems to be available nice ok :) go for it :-) ok Delvien email me a shipping address and i'll forward that along Your email :P? yup nm got it jpeddicord@ubuntu.com; you see it at all the list mailings :P actually i always forget to set the right from addy :P sent it to your gmail sorry no prob, they funnel to the same kk my next goal, get an @ubuntu.com email addy i will get on that then :D hehe :P we can help you with that Ok, so what are we on with the meeting? Cause i have a topic if we are in between well, i guess we have subteams, but go ahead Delvien Ok so we have the 3 teams, Marketing, Education, Communication, who are the leaders of those ? that's what we'll figure out at some point, however as anthony isn't here we might want to wait ok isnt this the same disscussion as the subteams thing? Phoenix301_: this is figuring out who is going to lead them ahh, okay okay it seems i manually request for the CDs when the time comes in a few months * jacob starrs Delvien's address in gmail Ill handle that if I can jacob Just when time comes, we will get together and talk about it kk actually that reminds me of yet another thing some other trivial pursuit? :-p team contact do you all care if i remain as the team contact? all it is is communicating with loco mailing lists cool with me thats fine absolutely not :-p ok just kidding :-p yay less paperwork s/paper/web :-) real quick on the subteam leader thing, i think it should be stressed that the point of the council is to collectively lead, so maybe rather than saying who is the leader of a subteam, stress that it isnt necessarily a separate leadership but a position of being the head of a subteam within the council. :-) ogga booga welcome back theidiotthatisme ty welcome snap-| good point Phoenix301_, which could make my trivial point a little less non-trivial wb theidiotthatisme ty jacob quick question theidiotthatisme, you got a yes on the polls; are you okay with being on the council? but at the sametime Pheonix301_ you dont want too many people to "lead" its all about condensing and making it simple, Simplicity = success a leader doesnt nec mean boss indeed Jacob: Absolutely kk * jacob marks in launchpad If anything comes up, I'll let everyone know by mailing list and then there were 5 thats sort of what i was trying to say, that labeling certain people as the leaders of specific subteams complicates it further, and to instead just sort of put a responsiblity that keeps it from really sounding like a boss position Thats what it is :) you got it right :D \o/ :-) subteam leadership: we need a leader for communication, a leader for education, and one for marketing aaaannnd.... go! *pops everyone* grand :-p Education <-- i'm fine with lurking around on any of them *rolls eyes* :P Communication for me? * jacob rolls eyes back at Vorian :D shoosh Vorian nice of you to join us vorian that leaves marketing undebated; anyone? *suggests someone let a forum admin know who the communication tl will be* mm hmm hold on a sec i'll ping you Vorian whenever jacob: kk :) I take a step back, Ill go for communication instead oh Idk lol :P everyone wants forum moderator lol tnseditor what would you like to do ? communication :-p blah haha well this makes things interesting :-p Ill arm wrestle you for it :D well then I will take education and whoever spends a lot of time on the forums should be the forum moderator virtual arm wresting :-p :-D at least that is my 2 cents seisen: I second you for Education any marketing goons out there? :D so we have a wrestling match for communication and nobody interested in marketing that's sad :-p this is how they should settle presidential elections :p "I will arm wrestle you" haha haha pfft, marketing should be the easiest, most fun, and highest profile team * Delvien whistles innocently, and talcs up his hand i'll set marketing to be council owned unless anyone wants it....? it's what the loco is really all about, right? yeah, marketing aint too hard really so what does the marketing team entail I think everyone kinda markets anyways umm OLF spreading ubuntu, handing out ohio loco business cards, events, etc Ubucon Press Releases viral marketing * seisen thinks etc... if you blog a lot, this is for you I will be chillin with the guys of OLF this year thats cool Vorian o rly? and gal I don't have a blog currently but I thought about creating one jacob im thinking.. heh heh heh seisen: wordpress, it's free and not stupid like (blogspot) * Vorian hides just throwing this out there: ubuntu members have blogs on planet.ubuntu.com true mwahaha but! idk how connected that is with anything.... but y'know ;) there is an agregation service for any ubuntu user ubuntu-users but the planet is where it's at, eh? aye hold on, let me get a link think of it this way http://ubuntuweblogs.org/ if you do any sort of marketing people will remember you when using ubuntu http://ubuntuweblogs.org/submit.html and, I have connections with the UWN if you need an article with publicity *cough* boredandbloggin Since seisen has education, and tnseditor isnt saying anything about me wanting communication :P Ill put a vote in for me being marketing. where did he go btw... haven't seen him on irc for a while hello he hang out in our secret ubuntu-us-* channel :) hello hehe I've been on a router hunt :-p tnseditor what say you ? oh duh boredandbloggin is second on the channel list lol (I can't let this go, can I) :-p trying to figure out which one he bought I have come up with a dlink for $80 and a Linksys for $100 Devien if you want education you can have it and I will do marketing or ...... hehe tnseditor should be a politician tnseditor So how do we settle this, I want communication, and you do. maybe co-leaders? I really wouldn't mind that you *could,* but LP still requires one person to be the team "owner" isnt it a one man job? here's another thing the ohio loco forum isn't that active anyway... so it ain't like there's much to do in there :P (not that it can't be active however) it used to be K make me marketing then to make it easy unless someone has an objection? maybe we could have new topics Delvien: nope, none here Delvien, that is fine :-) good, now I have to learn how to blog lol hahaha have fun :-p so right now we have Delvien as marketing, tnseditor as communication, and seisen as education, correct? yep theidiotthatisme: you haven't said much; any thoughts? I have a lot going on sorry :-( np So it's hard to keep up with the meeting jacob that works out perfect too, because ill be handling the cds too most important theidiotthatisme is the lines in [21:00] redundant statement ftw, hehe good point Delvien jacob: I dont have timestamps :-P ack But I got who's who :-P ok then who's who? we arent in a Lotus Note database dubya tee eff i'll transfer communication to tnseditor and contact dan buch to transfer marketing to Delvien ok ah meatballhat right? theidiotthatisme whenever you have time go ahead and set Delvien for marketing owner yup yep does he respond? theidiotthatisme: sorry not marketing, education I know he hasnt been on for a while Delvien: yeah, i talked to him a few days ago he uses my hosting service :D :-) I forgot I was even on marketing, but I dont think I'm owner, I'm owner of Education ;) right, yeah :P that one actually hold on theidiotthatisme i said this wrong so he would need to set me up as education owner transfer education to seisen * Delvien is downloading IBM symphony, new beta for IBMs word / ooo take not Delvien, he /is/ marketing jacob I think you partied too much new years, lol lol I definitely did....
