[06:05] <BFTD> no
[06:05] <BFTD> I gotta go then
[06:05] <elkbuntu> Ok then, any general issues (except the servers)?
[06:06] <elkbuntu> hi effie_jayx
[06:06] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  ;)
[06:07] <effie_jayx> hi all
[06:07] <elkbuntu> we only just started with: any general issues (except the servers)?
[06:07] <elkbuntu> but nothing has been said yet, so you havent missed anything
[06:08] <effie_jayx> great.. I am here for SFD mentoring :D
[06:08] <johnc4510> i might note that US teams now has a forum page   http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=284
[06:09] <elkbuntu> hi yann2
[06:09] <yann2> hi - agenda?
[06:10] <elkbuntu> yann2, so far only: any general issues (except the servers)?
[06:10] <yann2> fr/de and a couple others are on their own, so np for now (finger crossed) :P
[06:11] <elkbuntu> yep. you guys were fortunat
[06:11] <yann2> else mmmmh let me think
[06:12] <yann2> mmh nope, no big issues :)
[06:12] <yann2> a couple of ideas maybe?
[06:12] <elkbuntu> yann2, sure?
[06:12] <yann2> we plan to do a "we advertise for you for free" for pc vendors who decide to sell ubuntu boxes
[06:13] <yann2> so during the next 6 months every pc seller that agrees to certificate some of his pcs for ubuntu will get a huge ad on our website
[06:13] <elkbuntu> yann2, we = ubuntu-fr?
[06:13] <yann2> yup
[06:13] <yann2> on a longer term, we hope to have a separate section on our website, linking all these sellers
[06:13] <johnc4510> nice
[06:14] <yann2> and maybe more, who know what can be possible - so to encourage them to help us
[06:14] <yann2> like "we offer advertising, for you it costs nearly nothing - so.."
[06:14] <yann2> we'll see if it works :] 
[06:14] <elkbuntu> yep, sounds like a good idea
[06:15] <effie_jayx> yann2,  I have a question
[06:15] <yann2> yup?
[06:15] <effie_jayx> do stores have the human resource to go ubuntu?
[06:16] <yann2> yeah :)
[06:16] <yann2> basically it means - put ubuntu on the box and test if everything works out of the box
[06:16] <effie_jayx> yann2,  in my city. there are plenty of stores that are just not interested cuz they say they have no linux guru. and I have tried to convince on particular store to sell it and they say. they can suport it for lack of knowledge :S
[06:17] <yann2> dell doesn't do any support afaik :)
[06:17] <effie_jayx> yann2,  they don't?
[06:17] <yann2> I don't think they do?
[06:17] <effie_jayx> yann2,  it is a great initiative, and good that you have stores with you :D
[06:17] <yann2> as far as i understood they propose an optional canonical support fee
[06:18] <elkbuntu> nope, they resell canonical support ;)
[06:18] <yann2> effie_jayx > we don't have any yet.. well maybe one
[06:18] <yann2> we'll see
[06:18] <yann2> if it does not work, too bad :P
[06:18] <effie_jayx> yann2,  exactly
[06:18] <elkbuntu> there's little harm in trying
[06:18] <yann2> we may need to do a list of supported material to help them
[06:18] <yann2> like pick among these, and its fine
[06:19] <yann2> that would help some sellers i think
[06:22] <yann2> eeeelse... well, our tshirts operation is going well... it was hell /o\ i am happy it is nearly done ^^
[06:22] <elkbuntu> :)
[06:22] <elkbuntu> was that the only idea yann2? should we move on now?
[06:23] <yann2> do other locos have something to report? I would be happy to hear about it :)
[06:23] <yann2> elkbuntu , yup, if there is an agenda, please, do :)
[06:23] <elkbuntu> yann2, i think they just want us to entertain them ;)
[06:23] <elkbuntu> yann2, the only other agenda is SFD discussion
[06:23] <yann2> sfd?
[06:23] <elkbuntu> yann2, software freedom day
[06:24] <yann2> oh - i think we've always been quite bad with this one :)
[06:24] <elkbuntu> hehe. no -fr participation in any french teams this year?
[06:25] <yann2> we have a lot of events, but i can't remember of any action during the sfd
[06:25] <yann2> but wait for november, i think olive is organising a huuuuuge ubuntu party in paris :P
[06:26] <elkbuntu> yann2, softwarefreedomday.org (should be back up and ok, it was in the servers with the loco sites)
[06:26] <yann2> btw i have a stupid question but... on the compromised servers, what about the usernames passwords? :S
[06:26] <elkbuntu> my team still doesnt have a venue yet :-/ im not lucky like effie_jayx to have a university to use
[06:26] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  :D
[06:26] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  I am not getting goodies it seems...
[06:27] <elkbuntu> :(
[06:27] <effie_jayx> I did register before cutoff date
[06:27] <yann2> I hope that in 2008 ubuntu-eu will have some money for goodies
[06:27] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, yes, but the limit was 200 teams, which means some still missed out before the cutoff date
[06:28] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  I thought that was for open cd's and extra tshirts
[06:28] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  but heck . I am in it for more than a t-shirt ... right :D
[06:28] <elkbuntu> yep :)
[06:28] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  are talking SFD?
[06:29] <effie_jayx> then...
[06:29] <yann2> weird how quiet ubuntu loco meetings have become :)
[06:29] <effie_jayx> I have som very specific questions... you might have answers for
[06:29] <yann2> 2 years ago.. \o/ :D
[06:29] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, sure
[06:30] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  In my country... certificates are what people are after... can the team issue  certificates or a letter of attnedance?
[06:30] <yann2> i wonder if no locoteam attending the loco meetings means, all the teams are happy, or nobody cares... the loco mailing list is a bit quiet too :(
[06:31] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, i suppose so
[06:32] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu, do you know of any other teams that have done so?... how does certificates by request sound.
[06:33] <effie_jayx> hello greg-g
[06:33] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, if you are holding 'intro to linux' classes on the day, it would work
[06:33] <greg-g> hello effie_jayx
[06:34] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu, you mean more academic like talks?
[06:34] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, i mean like tutorials
[06:34] <effie_jayx> there will be developer talks on a separate rooms... not to scare away the new people...
[06:35] <effie_jayx> next question then...
[06:36] <effie_jayx> food? finger food, sponsored ... is it ok to sell
[06:36] <effie_jayx> ?
[06:37] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, that kind of thing is different in each country
[06:37] <effie_jayx> ok
[06:41] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  and on the subject of talks I read . not too much filosophy involved. are there any presentations online that offer just enough where we can build upon?
[06:41] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, um, dont know
[06:42] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  but you know what I mean... ?
[06:42] <effie_jayx> :S
[06:42] <elkbuntu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Presentations?action=show&redirect=UbuntuPresentations
[06:43] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  thanks
[06:44] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu, once we are done with SFD i'll bring up another issue
[06:44] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, not at all
[06:46] <elkbuntu> nixternal, any issues to raise or questions to ask?
[06:46] <nixternal> not off hand...just woke up sorry :)
[06:46] <effie_jayx> elkbuntu,  It turns out you registered _just_ after the registrations for schwag
[06:46] <effie_jayx> closed, but before the notice went out. I will include you for shipping of
[06:46] <effie_jayx> goods due as you were so close :)
[06:47] <effie_jayx> :D
[06:47] <effie_jayx> cool
[06:47] <effie_jayx> then on to the issue I thought..
[06:47] <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, excellent luck
