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

[15:19:41] Aye, that's for sure [15:19:42] one of the thing a like more about our Team is that we can work very well all the Nicaraguan FOSS community [15:19:46] Makes me feel bad about mine :) [15:19:47] Very good job over the years!! [15:20:26] _love_ the infographics on the wiki page [15:20:32] alucardni, mmgc84, What plans do you have for the next 2 years? What do you plan to continue doing? Anything you'd like to share about what's done right? [15:20:50] I really really like the insertion of graphics / images in the application [15:21:37] paultag: for the next 2 years we spect to contribute a bit more on ubuntu develpment, vía motu, bugsquad, etc [15:21:56] alucardni: do you have some sort of mentoring to help get people into motu ? [15:22:11] czajkowski: not yet, we're looking for that [15:22:36] alucardni: so how do you get people to help in your team? [15:23:21] czajkowski: we have worked with the latin american community, organizing events like the Ubuntu Open Week in Spanish [15:23:40] yes that has been very well done [15:23:58] hi folks [15:24:00] and there are a few spanish speaking motu's (2 i think) that could helps us [15:24:52] some people of the bugsquad talk spanish too. I'm sure they'd be glad to help [15:25:11] alucardni: have you had any problems in the past and how did you deal with them ? [15:26:12] czajkowski: I don't remember having problems... :D [15:26:16] ok [15:26:22] [vote] please vote on the re approval of the Nicaraguan Team [15:26:25] +1 [15:26:32] well done folks and keep it up !

[15:35:30] 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] [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/ReApproval [15:35:41] :) [15:35:51] jacob: welcome [15:36:05] paultag: gotcha [15:36:16] \o/ ohio :) [15:36:16] czajkowski: i'm just the messenger, but thanks :) [15:36:39] Yay Ohio :) [15:36:40] yay photos :) [15:36:44] OH! [15:36:47] IO! [15:36:51] photos make me happy [15:36:53] IO! [15:37:20] we're famous for relocos, OLF, and buckeyes [15:37:38] can you tell us about your weekly meetings and what they were meant to be for ? [15:38:08] meetings? mailings? [15:38:15] sorry mailings [15:39:23] 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] czajkowski, we set up a weekly newsletter that the contact would write up once a week and send out on friday [15:39:30] +1 [15:39:31] great application ! [15:39:40] czajkowski, the contact of Ohio started slacking a bit [15:39:48] paultag, this is really nice [15:39:49] communication is one thing I think we as a team need to work on [15:39:56] nice idea [15:40:14] which brings me to where are your team reports? [15:40:31] you would want to ask paultag. :) [15:40:41] i haven't been involved with that aspect of the team [15:40:42] Good look teams :D [15:40:50] czajkowski, We had delegated it -- it's not been getting done [15:40:55] czajkowski, another N cycle goal for us [15:40:59] paultag: ok well at least yer being honest [15:41:18] my only comment on the application and yer not the only team btw, is that team reports need to more visable [15:41:19] We have a few [15:41:31] as they help the team but also help get others interested in what the team is doing [15:41:38] righto [15:41:41] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/Report <-- we have them for up to march [15:41:47] but that's no excuse [15:41:53] we're not getting them done :) [15:42:09] paultag: shudda linked to it on the Application. but that's fine [15:42:37] so have ye had any problems getting people involved in the team ? [15:42:43] 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] people always seem fairly willing to get involved -- significant numbers show up at ubuntu hour meetups around the state [15:43:21] Umm... Business cards. :) [15:43:41] * canthus13 has been handing them out. [15:43:50] canthus13: oh man, the business cards. [15:44:05] so we printed out 2000 of them and have been giving them out around the state [15:44:12] Yup. I've given out about 1/4 of my share so far. [15:44:16] czajkowski, no issues with people, we all get along great. We meet up very often, so that helps too [15:44:29] czajkowski, twice monthly for every major city [15:44:36] great [15:44:44] we have about 8 or so Ubuntu Hours a month in Ohio [15:44:45] 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] jacob: what is your favorite part of being involved with the Ohio Team? [15:44:54] +1 jacob [15:45:50] itnet7: there are a ton of favorite parts, really. I'd say the local meet-ups. we get together much more frequently than the occasional state-wide events [15:46:07] my favorite event overall is OLF, but that's only once a year. [15:46:15] great stuff folks [15:46:18] [vote] please vote on the re approval of Ohio Team [15:46:23] +1 [15:46:25] +1 [15:46:26] well done folks [15:46:39] +1 [15:46:43] +1 [15:47:07] jacob: I was supposed to attend that this past year, didn't work out unfortunately, Will try again next year! [15:47:34] +1 [15:47:37] ;) [15:47:54] [endvote] [15:48:18] [agreed] Ohio team re approved [15:48:24] nice one Ohio! [15:48:27] congrats ohio!
