holsteinSO we need to do something to get this loco happenin00:04
holsteinmaybe a meet up in the middle somewhere00:04
akgranerhowever the information listed seems out of date or overcome by events00:04
akgranerdo we need to discuss anything there?00:04
holsteinnot that i see00:05
internalkernelWe're kinda limpin along as a loco here...00:05
akgraneralrighty then I'll clear the agenda then00:05
akgraner[topic] increasing loco participation in 201100:06
Mootbot-UKNew Topic:  increasing loco participation in 201100:06
akgranerideas?00:06
holsteinyeah, i was hoping spreading the meeting chair around would be a way to get new folk involved00:06
holsteinmaybe that has been a bad idea00:06
holsteinNM00:06
holsteinall that should be fine00:06
internalkernelI dont think its been a bad idea...00:06
holsteinif we had something to do as a group00:06
akgranerI don't think it's a bad idea at all00:07
holsteinyou want to just plan something simple like a meet-up?00:07
akgranerI think we are missing major segments of the team00:07
holsteinmaybe in charlotte00:07
akgranerthose who don't use IRC00:07
internalkernelwe have firestorm, and a monthly LUG where Ubuntu is heavily represented...00:07
internalkernelI dont know what else to do aside from paying people00:07
akgranernah what I mean is  - forums, mailing list and finding out who the contacts in the pocket locations are and making sure we are in contact with them00:08
internalkernelmaybe there is a large user base in Charlotte, I would guess that is so - but how do we reach them...00:08
holsteinthe list is all i can handle00:08
holsteinand we should all be subscribed if interested00:09
internalkernelI think for the most part Asheville seems to be the hub of the NC Loco - that and Raleigh/Durham out by Marx and Bugeyed00:09
akgranerholstein, so the mailing list can be your area for example00:09
holsteinmaybe we need a newletter? or something00:09

akgranerahh ok00:12
holsteini see him around00:12
akgranerI think we are trying to be to fancy tight now - KIS method is what I am thinking00:13
holsteinright00:13
holsteinim with you00:13
holsteinhow about we do a FB page00:13
holsteinafter this meeting00:13
akgraneralrighty00:13

akgraner[ACTION] - holstein and akgraner to make a new FB page after meeting00:13
Mootbot-UKACTION received:  - holstein and akgraner to make a new FB page after meeting00:13
holsteinFB or twitter00:13
holsteinwhatever00:13
holsteinnot both though i think00:14
internalkernelI think also maybe creating some mroe traffic on the list... I like the idea of a newsletter - but something that creates conversation...00:14
akgranerwe have a twitter and identi.ca account00:14
holsteininternalkernel: maybe tech segments?00:14
holsteinsomething easy00:14
holsteinwe just try and fire out there00:14
holsteineven if its just a link00:14
holstein"check this out"00:14
akgranerbut really all someone needs to so is use #ubuntunc00:14
internalkernelyeah I was thinking along those lines...00:14
internalkernelsomethign small and easy, of course - one or two topics at a time or several articles around the same topic...00:15
holsteinwhats ubuntunc?00:15
akgranera one page newsletter (once a month to start) would be easy00:15
holstein#ubuntunc?00:15
internalkernel?00:15
holsteinyou mean here?00:15
akgranerthe team hashtag for twitter and identi.ca00:15
holsteinif theres YA irc channel i might cry :/00:15
holsteinAH00:15
holsteinok :)00:15
akgranermake sense?00:16
holsteinyup00:16
akgranerso that's taken care of00:16
holsteinOK00:16
holsteini think the newsletter might be a bit much right now00:16
holsteinwe'd need an orginanizer and all that00:16
holsteinand content finders00:16
akgranerinternalkernel, we can use mailchimp (I have an account) and do a simple one page newsletter if you want00:16
holsteinmaybe put that in the 'for later' catagory?00:17
akgranerpeople who subscribe can choose the format as well - mobile, html, or text only00:17
holsteinim with you guys though..00:17
internalkernelsounds good to me, let's plan to have a newsletter format put together by the next release?00:17
holsteinno need to put it to a vote00:17
akgraneralrighty!  we can just get the template etc all in place and ready to roll out in April00:17
holsteini like it00:18
akgraner[ACTION] internalkernel, holstein, akgraner (and whoever else wants to help) roll out Team Newsletter in April00:18

internalkernelsweet... we have purpose!00:18
akgranerhey guys - if someone else is doing something bigger and better in their area we don't want them to stop we just want to be able to tell people what they are doing00:19
internalkernelabsolutely...00:19
akgranerso if you hear of something make sure we let the ML, forums, and IRC folks know - we can come up with where on the wiki's to add that content later00:20
akgranerthe wiki's need a facelift as well - but we can set that as a goal for the next Ubuntu Global Jam00:20
holsteincool00:20

internalkernelthats a good point... and I like the developing of community aspect of it...00:44
internalkerneland its always a good time to turn someone onto Ubuntu...00:44
akgranerI know for me - If I am not excited about participating in something, or I don't feel connect, I know I won't represent a team or project well00:44
