| ebel | I was in kenya a few times, so I hang out here. | 16:02 |
| ebel | Do you know kensta? | 16:02 |
| ebel | he's sometimes on this irc channel and is interested in setting up a loco | 16:03 |
| zacck | no | 16:04 |
| zacck | i wanted to set up the loco afew days ago | 16:04 |
| zacck | but post poned it bit busy coz of exams | 16:04 |
| ebel | :) | 16:05 |
| ebel | Well there's nothing offical you need to do | 16:05 |
| zacck | yeah couldnt find the create page | 16:06 |
| zacck | lol | 16:06 |
| ebel | Well you don't need to create a loco first. And it's the loco council that creates them | 16:06 |
| ebel | The important thing is to run events. | 16:06 |
| zacck | i see | 16:06 |
| ebel | A LoCo is a Local Communit | 16:07 |
| zacck | i can do that | 16:07 |
| ebel | *Community | 16:07 |
| zacck | (run events) | 16:07 |
| ebel | So you should try to build a community | 16:07 |
| zacck | i see | 16:07 |
| ebel | a community of people in your area interested in ubuntu | 16:07 |
| zacck | yeah i have a number | 16:07 |
| zacck | like 50 or so | 16:07 |
| zacck | my campus alone | 16:07 |
| ebel | Cool! :) | 16:07 |
| zacck | i can look in other universities and what not | 16:08 |
| ebel | Cool! | 16:08 |
| ebel | Running events can be very easy. | 16:08 |
| zacck | the page only has 37 active members | 16:08 |
| zacck | running events = easiest | 16:08 |
| zacck | just call a codathon | 16:09 |
| ebel | Here in Ireland we have a monthly "Ubuntu Hour" where we meet up in a local pub and hang out | 16:09 |
| ebel | that's an option | 16:09 |
| ebel | you can have a release party for the last release that was out | 16:09 |
| zacck | yeah | 16:09 |
| ebel | Try to tell as many people about it as possible. facebook/twitter/local newspapers/etc. | 16:09 |
| zacck | or the next release when it comes out | 16:09 |
| ebel | you can get offical CDs when the release comes out if you are a LoCo | 16:10 |
| zacck | yeah ill do that after the papers see if i can have an event in late january | 16:10 |
| zacck | nice | 16:11 |
| ebel | well once you become an 'approved loco', which is where you show to the loco council that you do stuff regularly | 16:11 |
| zacck | ok | 16:12 |
| zacck | i see | 16:12 |
| ebel | which is cool. :) | 16:12 |
| zacck | lemme get some snacks | 16:12 |
| ebel | They are sending out some professionally printed banners for locos now | 16:12 |
| ebel | You should try to build your local community | 16:13 |
| ebel | Each community is different and will have different ways to communicate and work | 16:13 |
| ebel | IRC could be one, mailing lists, or face to face meetups | 16:13 |
| ebel | So try to use what works for you | 16:14 |
| ebel | if you want to be an approved loco then you'll need evidence that you do things. Emails to a mailing list, photos of past events, etc. help with this | 16:14 |
| zacck | it can happen with the right amount of work | 16:24 |
| zacck | hey later | 16:25 |
