<Kilos> ongolaBoy  ping
<Kilos> ohi magespawn  welcome to ubuntu-africa
<Kilos> you can join here https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-africa
<Kilos> hi philipballew
<Kilos> do you want to receive our list mail?
<philipballew> Kilos, yeah. that seems nice.
<Kilos> join the group on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-africa and you should see the mailing list there as well
<philipballew> Kilos, I joined. Do you have any social media profiles yet?
<Kilos> whats that?
<philipballew> Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest
<Kilos> you mean me persdonally?
<inetpro> Kilos: I guess he means for ubuntu-africa
<inetpro> the answer to that would be no
<Kilos> i dunno bout them things
<philipballew> ah, Kilos I see
<philipballew> I can help you start a "campaign" to build a following.
<philipballew> if you need.
<philipballew> I think what you need is advertising, marketing, and evangelicalism.
<Kilos> most of the peeps here have personal fb and twitter things
<philipballew> Kilos, Perfect.
<Kilos> if you can market in africa then go for it
<philipballew> that way they can follo the accounts about ubuntu africa and always be in the know as well as able to share ubuntu africa to their friends.
<Kilos> the idea is to encourage all of the users in africa to be more active in ubuntu
<philipballew> so if  you can build ideas and ways to get people active in Ubuntu, I can easily tweet about it.
<philipballew> another option is a weekly hangout, like the official Ubuntu people do.
<ongolaBoy> Kilos: pong
<Kilos> i cant do hangsouts it eats data
<Kilos> ohi ongolaBoy
<philipballew> you could do something like this where you get on the camera for a short time period
<philipballew> Kilos, I see.
<Kilos> i wanted to ask you something
<philipballew> Well there needs to be some way for people to feel like they belong
<philipballew> ask away
<Kilos> oh ongolaBoy  have you joined the mailing list?
<Kilos> philipballew  we are going to have our official launch first meeting here on the 29th
<Kilos> at our 8.30pm which is 30 mins ago
<ongolaBoy> Kilos: yes
<Kilos> great ty ongolaBoy  then you will be updated for the meeting
<Kilos> have you any ideas or matters of interest to add to the agenda
<Kilos> QA  agenda
<QA> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams/Meetings/20150729
<inetpro> Kilos: maybe a topic about social media?
<ongolaBoy> Kilos: will do tomorrow . right now I'll be offline in less than 10 min ;)
<Kilos> cool ongolaBoy  ty
<philipballew> okay, i like that.
<philipballew> Kilos, if you want any ideas feel free to hit me up. I have been a loco leader before
<Kilos> cool philipballew  look at the agenda and add what you think can help
<philipballew> will do Kilos
<inetpro> philipballew: big question is how do we manage social media in the newly established community and stay on track here
<inetpro> ?
<philipballew> inetpro, Good question. I think first it is important to get the information to people through tweeting about links of the information. Next it is important to attract people to join the group as well. then you want to advocate and promote the brand the group is about.
<philipballew> In order to manage it, do you mean logistically? or what would you say?
<inetpro> so far Kilos has really been the big driver behind this project
<philipballew> inetpro, yes. and he seems to be doing a good job
<philipballew> In all forms of communication, it is important to know that communication is receiver based.
<philipballew> you have to know your audience to know the best way to reach them.
<inetpro> maybe I should not be too concerned about it just yet, but I can just imagine it growing too big too quickly
<philipballew> too big too quickly is only a problem if you do not have enough people to manage the team
<inetpro> I think we need a few key players to be confirmed as leaders in the first meeting in order to manage the project together as a team
<Kilos> whew already
 * inetpro is not in a hurry
<Kilos> basically one needs a leader in each country
<Kilos> then the leaders come here
<Kilos> then we can all decide
<Kilos> maybe later form a cc
<Kilos> or whatever
<inetpro> Kilos: so you want to start with a social media campaign already or only after the meeting
<inetpro> ?
<Kilos> after the meeting i think, how do you feel
<Kilos> lets talk about it at the meeting hey?
<Kilos> i think the best with control is to lkead by example
<Kilos> lead
<Kilos> because there could be a few languages used here
<Kilos> so if we set a good example others will follow
<Kilos> but the social media thing is a good idea because thats where everything is going nowadays
<Kilos> philipballew  dont forget this will be 18 locos in one place
<Kilos> same as USATeams
<philipballew> Kilos, exactly. This is a good thing
<philipballew> the social media would need a moderator
<philipballew> probably several people
<philipballew> someone who knows english and someone who speaks french
<Kilos> yeah i dont like doing facebook and twitter
<philipballew> Kilos, that is the platforms people use, and that is the way to reach people.
<philipballew> I am not saying those are the platforms your group will be based on, those are ways to advertise your group
<Kilos> yeah i know but someone else will have to handle that end of it
<Kilos> i think we have ubuntu-za on facebook for the south african guys
<Kilos> the thing is with facebook and twitter, can you transfer admin?
<Kilos> or have a few mods
<philipballew> Kilos, just have a few mods who know the password for the accounts
<Kilos> i think it can work
<Kilos> add the social media topic in the agenda
<Kilos> then we can discuss it at the meeting and choose peeps hey?
<philipballew> Kilos, yeah. That seems god
<Cryterion> Kilo's, you can add and remove admins of groups on fb
<Kilos> oh
<Cryterion> can set open or closed group
<Kilos> i dont know fb very well. very seldom use it
<Cryterion> I know fb well, don't know all the options though, but am I'm a few groups
<Kilos> when you have to watch data use fb kills you
<Kilos> and twitter with all the peps and their pics
<Kilos> s/peps/peeps
<Cryterion> true, but my phone auto connects to wifi networks setup for it, just when out have to be carefull
<Kilos> ai!
<Kilos> i would go mad
<Cryterion> Not sure in twitter as I don't use it
<Cryterion> in twitter/on twitter
<Kilos> twitter is fine if peeps just text but they all throw pics in nowadays
<Kilos> personally im happy just with irc and pidgin
<inetpro> Kilos: eish!
<inetpro> @ubuntuafrica is already taken and we can use @ubuntu-africa either
<inetpro> can not*
<Kilos> eish
<inetpro> philipballew: suggestions for a twitter username please
<philipballew> inetpro, ubuntuafrice
<philipballew> ubuntuafrica
<philipballew> is that taken?
<inetpro> yep
<Kilos> and ubuntuafr ?
<philipballew> ubuntuinafrica
<philipballew> that is avaible
<philipballew> available
<inetpro> Kilos: ^ ?

<Kilos> lol
<Kilos> hi melodie
<Kilos> melodie  do you do twitter and facebook as well/
<Kilos> we have decided to use social media as well to help grow the africa group
<melodie> hi Kilos !
<melodie> yes I do twitter and not facebook. I do google+
<melodie> and I have news for the African Ubuntu Linux teams
<Kilos> oh my we havent got a G+ page yet but @ubuntuinafrica
<melodie> I finish something and will point to it in a few seconds
<Kilos> https://www.facebook.com/groups/494775420686780/
<melodie> perhaps #ubuntu_africa would have been a better name
<melodie> I don't do facebook
<melodie> no way
<Kilos> it was used i think
<Kilos> good i dont like it either
<Kilos> so whats your news girl?
<Kilos> ai! now we need a g+ page for africa as well
<Cryterion> I'll stick to the fb one I just started
<Kilos> what
<Kilos> your one is fine man
<Cryterion> facebook
<Cryterion> lol
<Kilos> this social media is too much, i wanna go back to being an irc greeter bot
<Cryterion> lol
<Cryterion> setup a kilo's-greeter bot then, and join the social, so you don't have to greet, automate it ;)
<Kilos> lol
<Kilos> i have a python script for ibids but it needs work
<Kilos> when it joins a channel it greets everyone with the greeting , but one at a time
<Cryterion> tweak it
<Kilos> i dunno code
<Kilos> and fly said its a days work for a python person
<Cryterion> I could try, but not right now, busy at work atm, so won't be able to for next 2 weeks I'd guess on that one
<Kilos> cool let me know
<Cryterion> Probably take me longer as well, would have to learn the syntax format
<Kilos> dont you know python?
<Cryterion> Programming is Programming, haven't started on python, I'm C++, Embedded C++, Lua, etc
<Kilos> sjoe
<Cryterion> but it's just learning the coding format, that's the only real difference between the languages, and how you access things
<Kilos> oh
<Cryterion> If you can write in one language, then it's easier the learn another
<Kilos> well i do english and afrikaans but dom stays dom
<Cryterion> dom stays dom, no compromise there
<Kilos> lol
<melodie> Kilos on this thread several projects/linux distributions by and for African countries, edu and so on:

<Kilos> http://ubuntu-africa.info
<melodie> I remember, it's a beautiful page
<Kilos> yeah
<Kilos> some of those guys are quite cheeky hey
<melodie> this distro is very interesting too, for people who know not computing especially: http://handylinux.org/index-en.html
<melodie> cheeky? o_^
<melodie> what do you mean precisely?
<Kilos> tells you straight they dont need help
<melodie> well I invited him to review his judgement
<melodie> as elegantly as I was able to
<Kilos> i see so well done
<melodie> :)
<Kilos> its not easy working with arrogant people
<melodie> of course my dear, I'm not a young rabbit. :D
<Kilos> hehe
<melodie> well he is not arrogant, he is just a young rabbit. ;)
<Kilos> lol
<melodie> Â°\o/Â°
<Kilos> i find ubuntu people more friendly
<melodie> it depends
<melodie> all people aren't alike
<Kilos> arrogant people we just ignore
<Kilos> communities are built from different types of people with the will and drive to help others
<Kilos> arrogant people end up on their own
<melodie> this guy is ok, as I'm telling you he is probably a young one, (or not), who just talks too fast.
<Kilos> haha
<melodie> and I am sure he is very helpful.
<Kilos> lets hope so
<melodie> he contributes a lot, so he is ok.
<Kilos> god
<Kilos> good
<melodie> and he thanked me for the links I provided as he acknowledged about two more distributions
<melodie> in this post: http://forum.handylinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=7549#p7549
<Kilos> good so he isnt too bad
<Kilos> just needs guidance
<Kilos> night melodie  be good
<Kilos> ty for the help
<Cryterion> night everyone
<melodie> night

#ubuntu-africa 2015-07-11
<Kilos> hellooo africa
<Kilos> hi philipballew:
<Kilos> hows the FB thing doing
<philipballew> Kilos, Alright. i have approved about three people each day so far
<Kilos> wonderful ty
<Kilos> so at least it is growing
<philipballew> Kilos, I was thinking of practical things to start doing there, and i thought about simple videos people can make to post.
<Kilos> videos kill dsata for peps that use 3g connections
<Kilos> peeps
<philipballew> Kilos, what about wifi inside the house?
<philipballew> 3g is for cell phones?
<Kilos> mobile data is expensive here
<Kilos> no wifi in rural areas
<philipballew> Kilos, Are you in a rural area?
<Kilos> yes im about 20 ks out of town
<philipballew> here in the states people are on dial up in rural areas or pay a lot of money for satellite internet.
<Kilos> farms and small holding areas all have to use 3g modems
<philipballew> what town do you live outside of?
<Kilos> all cables for adsl got stolen so often they stopped replacing them
<Kilos> pretoria
<Kilos> satelite is totally out of reach to most of us
<philipballew> Kilos, interesting. I need to visit South Africa and see for myself.
<Kilos> lol
<philipballew> that would require time and money, and I have neither currently...
<Kilos> there used to be landlines to all farms but not anymore
<philipballew> por que?
<philipballew> sorry.
<philipballew> Why?
<Kilos> np we manage if we work thriftily on 3g
<Kilos> copper theft
<Kilos> 3 ks of cables stolen in a night
<philipballew> sometimes I have a problem switching back and fourth between spanish and english in my mind
<philipballew> Kilos, for the money?
<Kilos> lol
<philipballew> they sell the metal right?
<Kilos> yes copper is big money for thieves
<philipballew> Kilos, the same is rue here on a smaller scale.
<philipballew> true
<Kilos> they even steal power cables
<philipballew> thats low class of them
<Kilos> so now our power peeps are using aluminium cables
<Kilos> yes very poor show
<philipballew> people dont realize it hurts them in the long run to destroy infrastructure.
<philipballew> well the might realize, but it is a fix that makes the situation worse.
<Kilos> they live for today only and move to other thieving projects when blocked
<philipballew> like cutting down forests to create farm land. or drilling deep into the ground for oil.
<Kilos> yeah
<philipballew> those are the problems in the americas currently
<Kilos> makes life easier for me knowing you are looking after facebook for us ty philipballew:
<philipballew> Kilos, Yes. I think its good because I am awake at an hour you guys are not so in case someone posts inappropriate things, or ride things, I can remove them.
<Kilos> cool
<philipballew> Soon I am gonna try to posts some cool articles in the hopes of getting quality discussion going
<Kilos> people in africa are so busy making a living that time for other things is very scarce
<Kilos> mainly we need to spread the word that ubuntu and all linux in africa is being revived and we are trying to grow
<philipballew> Kilos, I will try to do what I can here from my end.
<Kilos> ty philipballew:
<Kilos> so where are the french speaking peeps when i need them
<melodie> hi
<melodie> Kilos are you around?
<Kilos> hi melodie: i need you girl
<Kilos> http://slexy.org/view/s2sDq9wgQy
<melodie> I am in an install party, is what you need fast, or hurrying?
<Kilos> need that in french too please

#ubuntu-africa 2015-07-12
<Kilos> hellooo africa
<Kilos-> hi coco11: can you help out and answer if anyone joins here and speaks french, please
<Kilos-> all i know is salut and merci
<Kilos-> the request goes out to all our french speaking members too of course
<coco11> Kilos-: Hi I'll try to stay focus :-D
<Kilos-> ty coco11: :D
<Kilos-> i have added french to english in our languages so interested french applicants arent turned away
<Kilos-> hi alphad: salut
<coco1> Kilos-: That's good, I'm not personaly an expert, but my other french colleagues would certainly also help when support will be needed ;-)
<Kilos-> cool coco1: ty you can also join us on launchpad as a group like namibia and ivory coast have
<Kilos-> they subscribed their whole locos
<Kilos-> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-africa
<coco1> Ok Kilos-: ongolaBoy: can help here
<Kilos-> wonderful
<Kilos-> ty so much :D
<coco1> Kilos-: Personaly I think that, it's a good idea, just discuss the issue with him ;-)
<Kilos-> cool ty
<Kilos-> ongolaBoy: ping
<Kilos-> i have found some more locos i hope, just waiting for them to approve me joining them then subscribe to their lists and wait again for approval
<coco1> You can also write to their list admins and directly discuss with them, if you want more loco's members to attend the first meeting ;-) Kilos-:
<Kilos-> i have done that but lp only allows to mails per day from there
<Kilos-> 2
<Kilos-> then it says ive reached my quota for 23 hours
<Kilos-> hehe
<Kilos-> so ive tried joining the teams and have been successful with some
<coco1> ok i see that :'-(
<Kilos-> haha
<Kilos-> only 5 left then we have then all
<Kilos-> and waiting for 5 approvals
<coco1> just wait now, so if the loco is still active the admin will validate your membership :-)
<Kilos-> wll we will need the clever guys to explain that
<Kilos-> but when subscribed on lp as a loco then all members there are classed as active here
<coco1> Kilos-: That's an issue to discuss with members or on board before ;-)
<Kilos-> did you mean ubuntu membership?
<Kilos-> i meant members of this team
<coco1> Kilos-: No way, but just speaking about global subcription to a new loco, like ubuntu-africa, I'm standing in a freedom base as anyone is free to join or not :-)
<Kilos-> oh yes thats fine too
<Kilos-> no-one is forced to do anything
<coco1> So, it's important, to discuss the global joining of the regional loco in every loco team,
<Kilos-> oh thats fine you guys can discuss it there
<coco1> Kilos-: That perspective can be discussed during the meeting
<Kilos-> they others discussed it as well and then joined
<coco1> To provide good strategies to the locos representatives...
<Kilos-> lol
<Kilos-> everyone is welcome here
<Kilos-> i just invited people, the choice to join is their own business
<coco1> Kilos-: You are doing well. The consequences will be catastrophic if someone is subscribed without his permission :-(
<Kilos-> yeah well you guys discuss things there
<Kilos-> you are all welcome here
<ongolaBoy> Kilos: hi.. i do not understand why you want to add ubuntu-africa team *into* ubuntu-cm?
<ongolaBoy> i thought it should be on the other side :)
<Kilos> sorry ongolaBoy
<ongolaBoy> ubuntu-cm into ubuntu-africa if it was really necessary
<Kilos> yeah i did some stupid things today
<ongolaBoy> ok
<ongolaBoy> so i will reject ubuntu-africa request but add your personal request
<Kilos> can you guys discuss adding your team then?
<Kilos> oh yes ill like that
<Kilos> i can always unsubscibe sometime, but it was the only way i could get any reaction from teams like zimbabwe
<stickyboy> cm?
<ongolaBoy> cameroon
<stickyboy> I wanna go to Zimbabwe.
<Kilos> so i went through the list and just joined all over
<stickyboy> ongolaBoy: Ah :D
<Kilos> there are still five teams that i have had no contact with so i was trying everything everywhere
<ongolaBoy> see you tomorrow . I have to log off some hours
<Kilos> cool ty
<stickyboy> Anyone like Deep House music?
<Kilos> lol
<Kilos> what is that like under floor heating?
<Kilos> night all
