[15:01:15] <czajkowski> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda [15:01:18] <SergioMeneses> hi [15:01:24] <LaFieraMarina> hi [15:01:31] <czajkowski> tonights agenda short and sweet , we'll start with council items first and then move onto teams [15:01:34] <jledbetter_> Howdy :) [15:01:37] <czajkowski> nhandler: are you about ? [15:01:46] <popey> gah [15:01:50] * popey changes theme on the wiki [15:01:59] <czajkowski> ok 2nd month in a row, removing that item now. [15:02:20] <czajkowski> [topic] UDS-M Blueprint [15:02:24] <czajkowski> [link] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-m-loco-council-plans [15:02:43] <czajkowski> ok council folks we need to DONE all these items, so what do we need to clear up [15:02:45] <paultag> I swear I've seen that BP before... [15:03:20] <czajkowski> popey: some of your items are done really but not marked done. [15:03:29] <paultag> Aye [15:03:49] <czajkowski> itnet7: your item policy and guidelines for the ubuntu loco council any update on it ? [15:04:00] <paultag> [itnet7]policy and guidelines for the ubuntu loco council :INPROGRESS <-- can we push this to next cycle? I feel like this is what we have in for standards for the N cycle czajkowski [15:04:11] <paultag> and popey and itnet7 :) [15:04:16] <paultag> and leogg :) [15:04:48] <czajkowski> I don't see why not. I think it's something that we can get stuck into next cycle as we'll have more free time now that re approvals are running a lot smoother.. [15:04:51] <itnet7> No update, we'll need to push it. Part of my goal was to begin by creating [15:04:54] <popey> heh [15:05:07] <paultag> I think that's what we had set up for standards as part of operation wiki-dekruft [15:05:27] <paultag> for n cycle [15:05:28] <paultag> not already [15:05:32] <itnet7> a mission statement and building from there [15:05:36] <paultag> +1 [15:05:37] <leogg> paultag: +1 [15:05:40] <itnet7> but that fell through [15:05:42] <czajkowski> I'd really like to close this BP before UDS-N if at all possible and not have things idling [15:05:57] <paultag> czajkowski, could we have a quick vote on pushing that back? [15:06:34] <itnet7> I can tell you I have no time whatsoever to work on that between work and family for the next week with being able to attend UDS [15:06:41] <czajkowski> itnet7: that;s cool [15:06:53] <itnet7> they already asked me to do a presentation next Wednesday at 1 pm [15:06:53] <popey> something we could work on during uds? [15:06:54] <czajkowski> I think we'll create a new section for that in the UDS-N BP [15:06:55] <popey> gobby? [15:07:17] <popey> find a quiet room, spark up skype and gobby, get it done [15:07:20] <itnet7> They meaning owrk [15:07:22] <itnet7> work [15:07:29] <czajkowski> ok sounds good [15:07:33] <huats> Hello ! [15:07:37] <paultag> heyya huats :) [15:07:40] <czajkowski> popey: this for standards or for the remainder items ? [15:07:40] <huats> sorry I am late :) [15:07:44] <czajkowski> huats: tis fine [15:07:55] <popey> up to you [15:07:56] <leogg> huats: o/ [15:08:09] <popey> I too am mad busy between now and uds, but we could nail it in a couple of hours [15:08:15] <popey> together [15:08:20] <czajkowski> ok. [15:08:24] <paultag> It's OK popey. We can push it back without too much issue I think [15:08:29] <popey> what do you think czajkowski ? [15:08:41] <popey> I'll make you a curry, come over to my house and we'll work on it :) [15:08:47] <czajkowski> [idea] Sit down one night next week at UDS via skype/gobby and spend 2 hours getting UDS-M bp all done [15:09:11] <czajkowski> popey: paultag itnet7 huats leogg [15:09:18] <paultag> I'm +1 here [15:09:19] <huats> czajkowski, sounds a good idea [15:09:21] <leogg> +1 [15:09:22] <paultag> skype me in and I'll be there [15:09:31] <itnet7> sure [15:09:32] <czajkowski> grand [15:09:34] <huats> it just needs to be in my day hours :) [15:09:36] <czajkowski> ok moving on so [15:09:37] <popey> evening uk time is daytime UDS which makes sense [15:09:44] <popey> early evening :) [15:09:54] <czajkowski> [topic] UDS-N BP [15:09:57] <paultag> which is daytime here. M-W-F would be good, if you can :) [15:09:58] <popey> I'm sure we can work times out [15:10:07] <paultag> yup [15:10:09] <czajkowski> [link] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntutheproject-n-loco-council [15:10:22] <czajkowski> ok so paultag and I've created this to add some ideas to work on for UDS [15:10:38] <czajkowski> as I'd like to see our sessions more structured so we can figure stuff out at UDS [15:10:46] <czajkowski> if you have any thoughts please add them to this [15:11:23] <czajkowski> I think we can put a lot of effort into structure some guidelines for teams [15:11:38] <czajkowski> and in the end make it more black and white what teams could do, and if there are issues what to do [15:11:47] <popey> i dont think it needs that much effort tbh [15:11:52] <popey> just some basics [15:12:04] <czajkowski> team naming I think is something that everyone brings up at some point or another. [15:12:09] <popey> i dont think we should be too rigid [15:12:12] <czajkowski> if you look at the LD the names are all over the place [15:12:13] <paultag> +1, team names are a big issue [15:12:24] <paultag> I think that should be strict for new teams, and a migration plan for old teams [15:12:45] <paultag> since it has the potential to break stuff, we should watch out for old teams [15:12:47] <popey> I am less bothered by the team names. [15:12:51] <paultag> and not be too heavy handed with that [15:12:57] <czajkowski> *nods* [15:13:00] <popey> its messy, yes, but not a catastrophe [15:13:13] <paultag> popey, it's not great :/ [15:13:13] <leogg> yep, I agree [15:13:18] <czajkowski> no it's not at all, but it would be nice if they were all the same in some way [15:13:21] <paultag> popey, it's tough to find lp or irc channels without using google [15:13:25] <czajkowski> makes it a lot clearer when searching [15:13:34] <popey> surely people use the loco directory! [15:13:35] <popey> :) [15:13:40] <paultag> popey, and I think that's kinda an issue, I don't mind about the "title" name, I want the URL name to be nice [15:13:43] <popey> I take your point though [15:13:47] <paultag> yeah but that's a website and *effort* :) [15:13:52] <czajkowski> popey: they do and still if you don't know the ISO name you may not find it :) [15:14:02] <czajkowski> anyways [15:14:05] <popey> ok [15:14:09] <czajkowski> if folks have ideas can they add them into the BP [15:14:14] <czajkowski> so we can disscuss it please [15:14:15] <czajkowski> :) [15:15:02] <czajkowski> ok any other comments re council stuff before we move to re approvals ? [15:15:27] <czajkowski> [topic] Nicaragua Team re approval [15:15:28] <huats> I'd like to see a session on something I mention already : a kind of geographical meeting for loco (during FOSS events like FOSDEM by instance) [15:15:52] <czajkowski> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NicaraguanTeam/ReApproval2010 [15:16:07] <huats> but I'll add that to the bp [15:16:17] <czajkowski> [link] http://www.ubuntu.org.ni/ [15:16:29] <czajkowski> anyone here from the team ??

[15:35:30] <paultag> I'm not voting with Ohio, I'm the contact, jacob will be fielding LoCo Council questions. I'll respond ( if I need ), but only as a member of the team, and not as a Council Member, or Contact. [15:35:40] <czajkowski> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/ReApproval [15:35:41] <popey> :) [15:35:51] <czajkowski> jacob: welcome [15:36:05] <czajkowski> paultag: gotcha [15:36:16] <paultag> \o/ ohio :) [15:36:16] <jacob> czajkowski: i'm just the messenger, but thanks :) [15:36:39] <rrittenhouse> Yay Ohio :) [15:36:40] <czajkowski> yay photos :) [15:36:44] <paultag> OH! [15:36:47] <rrittenhouse> IO! [15:36:51] <czajkowski> photos make me happy [15:36:53] <jacob> IO! [15:37:20] <jacob> we're famous for relocos, OLF, and buckeyes [15:37:38] <czajkowski> can you tell us about your weekly meetings and what they were meant to be for ? [15:38:08] <paultag> meetings? mailings? [15:38:15] <czajkowski> sorry mailings [15:39:23] <jacob> as far as I'm aware, the mailings were to keep everyone on the same page to let people know what's going on around Ohio. kinda like mini-reports. I believe they were going along for a time but have lapsed recently [15:39:24] <paultag> czajkowski, we set up a weekly newsletter that the contact would write up once a week and send out on friday [15:39:30] <paultag> +1 [15:39:31] <huats> great application ! [15:39:40] <paultag> czajkowski, the contact of Ohio started slacking a bit [15:39:48] <huats> paultag, this is really nice [15:39:49] <jacob> communication is one thing I think we as a team need to work on [15:39:56] <czajkowski> nice idea [15:40:14] <czajkowski> which brings me to where are your team reports? [15:40:31] <jacob> you would want to ask paultag. :) [15:40:41] <jacob> i haven't been involved with that aspect of the team [15:40:42] <landero> Good look teams :D [15:40:50] <paultag> czajkowski, We had delegated it -- it's not been getting done [15:40:55] <paultag> czajkowski, another N cycle goal for us [15:40:59] <czajkowski> paultag: ok well at least yer being honest [15:41:18] <czajkowski> my only comment on the application and yer not the only team btw, is that team reports need to more visable [15:41:19] <paultag> We have a few [15:41:31] <czajkowski> as they help the team but also help get others interested in what the team is doing [15:41:38] <jacob> righto [15:41:41] <paultag> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/Report <-- we have them for up to march [15:41:47] <paultag> but that's no excuse [15:41:53] <paultag> we're not getting them done :) [15:42:09] <czajkowski> paultag: shudda linked to it on the Application. but that's fine [15:42:37] <czajkowski> so have ye had any problems getting people involved in the team ? [15:42:43] <jacob> here's a quick flyby of things since then: regular reloco meetings (ubuntu hours), global jam, of course Ohio LinuxFest, and things I've probably forgotten [15:43:20] <jacob> people always seem fairly willing to get involved -- significant numbers show up at ubuntu hour meetups around the state [15:43:21] <canthus13> Umm... Business cards. :) [15:43:41] * canthus13 has been handing them out. [15:43:50] <jacob> canthus13: oh man, the business cards. [15:44:05] <jacob> so we printed out 2000 of them and have been giving them out around the state [15:44:12] <canthus13> Yup. I've given out about 1/4 of my share so far. [15:44:16] <paultag> czajkowski, no issues with people, we all get along great. We meet up very often, so that helps too [15:44:29] <paultag> czajkowski, twice monthly for every major city [15:44:36] <czajkowski> great [15:44:44] <paultag> we have about 8 or so Ubuntu Hours a month in Ohio [15:44:45] <jacob> I haven't checked our website stats recently, but I'd imagine the business cards are helpful in informing people of the LoCo [15:44:49] <itnet7> jacob: what is your favorite part of being involved with the Ohio Team?
