[00:56] <Kobe> ?
[02:00] <c_smith> is there a LoCo Team in the Salem Oregon area?
[02:01] <mhall119> c_smith: did you check the loco-directory?
[02:01] <mhall119> US loco teams are state-wide, btw
[02:01] <c_smith> yeah, I did....
[02:01] <c_smith> and it seems the nearest one is in Washington...
[02:02] <c_smith> just finished looking, too.
[02:02] <mhall119> yeah, I'm not seeing one
[02:02] <mhall119> wouldn't you like to start one?
[02:02] <c_smith> Not really, simply because I wouldn't be successful at motivating anyone.
[02:03] <mhall119> we have people who can help you get started with it
[02:03] <mhall119> it's not like you'd be left to fend for yourself
[02:04] <c_smith> well, I still prefer a seat with less power, frankly, I don't like to be in charge of a group.
[02:04] <c_smith> even if it is a minor group,
[02:04] <mhall119> do you know any other Ubuntu users there?
[02:04] <c_smith> a few,
[02:05] <c_smith> actually, only 2.
[02:05] <mhall119> think you can motivate one of them to be a team lead?
[02:05] <mhall119> 3 members is enough ;)
[02:05] <c_smith> the only one I could motivate to be a team lead is on house arrest without internet.
[02:05] <mhall119> really, all that's needed is someone to create the group in launchpad.net and be the point of contact
[02:05] <c_smith> the other, he would forget to wake up if we didn't remind him.
[02:05] <mhall119> oh, that's not ideal
[02:06] <mhall119> oregon sounds like a strange place
[02:06] <munz> lol
[02:06] <c_smith> Oregon, it's a beautiful state, outside of the cities, of course, but beautiful nontheless.
[02:07] <c_smith> well. I might as well read the topic on creating a team.
[02:07] <munz> c_smith: you could just start a small meetup group
[02:07] <munz> :)
[02:08] <c_smith> true, but how?
[02:08] <munz> nothing too over serious
[02:09] <c_smith> frankly, I'd like to contribute in some way to the Ubuntu project
[02:09] <mhall119> c_smith: find a few people interested in Ubuntu and/or Linux and go get coffee together
[02:09] <c_smith> cool
[02:09] <munz> yea
[02:09] <munz> wear ubuntu shirt
[02:09] <c_smith> that sounds to be more my type of meeting. XD
[02:09] <munz> i try to contrubute by helping others in the chat
[02:10] <munz> and work on #1 bug
[02:10] <c_smith> I think I'll look into that shirt, I always wondered if there was one.
[02:10] <mhall119> http://shop.ubuntu.com/
[02:10] <munz> #1 ms has dominant market share
[02:10] <c_smith> as for bugs, if it involves coding, I'm fresh out of High School, so I have close to zero coding knowledge.
[02:10] <munz> spread the words of freedom :)
[02:11] <munz> convert peeps to ubuntu
[02:11] <mhall119> know any html or css?
[02:11] <c_smith> nope,
[02:11] <mhall119> c_smith: we have a 14 year old writing code for Ubuntu, so age isn't a barrier
[02:11] <c_smith> the most I can do with code is compile pre-constructed source code.
[02:12] <mhall119> have you tried Python?
[02:12] <c_smith> nope, is it simple?
[02:12] <mhall119> very
[02:12] <mhall119> and several Ubuntu desktop apps are written in it
[02:12] <c_smith> I'll look into that, I've always wanted to try coding. :D
[02:12] <mhall119> also several webapps, like loco.ubuntu.com, are written in python
[02:13] <c_smith> is there any place I can start to learn Python on the net that you guys know of?
[02:14] <mhall119> http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
[02:15] <c_smith> thanks
[02:15] <munz> i am trying to learn python, a friend showed me this: https://ww3.hunter.cuny.edu/screencasts/programming-for-everyone/
[02:16] <mhall119> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/AppGuides/laby is kind of a fun way to learn python (and other languages)
[02:18] <munz> that looks cool mhall119 
[02:18] <mhall119> it is cool
[02:18] <munz> i'm gonna take a look@ both links you posted :)
[02:19] <mhall119> munz: you know where to find me if you have questions
[02:20] <munz> cool, thanks
[14:15] <AlanBell> the UK team CDs have now arrived
[14:27] <mhall119> czajkowski: would you mind /joining #ubuntu-website?
[14:28] <czajkowski> now?
[14:29] <mhall119> please, we have some questions that could benefit from an LC member's insights
[14:30] <czajkowski> mhall119: ok but just remmeber highlighting loco council gets more of us 
[14:30] <mhall119> I know
[16:32] <cjohnston> and its brought back to life
[16:32] <cjohnston> :-(
