  <_marx_> ok i couldn't recall if it was akgraner or jcg

  <BugeyeD> i just looked up the meeting notes. jcg suggested it (something about more likely to get a response due to being female) and akgraner agreed

  <akgraner> sorry guys - had a fire I had to put out

  <_marx_> not a real one i hope

  <akgraner> no just a situation that needed taken care of

  <akgraner> so no I haven't gotten in touch with the FB group owner yet

  <_marx_> cool

  <akgraner> Tuesday, April 20th, at 2000UTC

  <_marx_> we need a team mailing list post; forum post facebook too? to get "bodies" in ubuntu-meeting

  <BugeyeD> so they just get together and talk about us?

  <akgraner> so any one who can make it to that meeting in ubuntu-meeting channel would be great

  <akgraner> yep

  <akgraner> they ask questions if they need to

  <akgraner> then let us know if we are approved

  <akgraner> or give suggestions on what we need do

  <akgraner> I can handle the mailing list post - can someone else post to facebook

  <_marx_> i'll get facebook since i'm going to try to do an event too for the winston release party

  <_marx_> hum we could use a "forum rat"; there was an intro post 2 days ago that i just saw today

  <akgraner> well magedragon said he would handle moderation

  <_marx_> ah yes

  <akgraner> I talked to the one of the forums council folks and they said we don't "have" to have a moderator

  <_marx_> ok, how about sticky posts?

  <akgraner> but - if he would be willing to just be the NC Forum Gardner

  <akgraner> _marx_, he said we have so few they would do it for us

  <_marx_> ah good

  <akgraner> also getting a how to moderate guide together

  <_marx_> and that was forum council, noted

  <akgraner> what difference does that make - he was just saying that since we don't have any trained forum moderators not to sweat it

  <akgraner> but he would help me get the information together to make sure that whomever is going to be it gets trained

  <akgraner> before we list them as a moderator

  <_marx_> just personally noting the... chain of command so to speak

  <_marx_> who to contact sorta thing

  <akgraner>

  <akgraner> so for information IRC - IRC Council, LoCo Teams LoCo Council, Forums - Forum Council Bigger Community issues that other councils can't resolve Community Council

  <akgraner> there is also wiki pages on wiki.ubuntu.com for all councils - if you google ubuntu and council name you'll find the pages
