[15:52] <czajkowski> AlanBell: indeed
[15:52]  * AlanBell declines to comment
[15:53] <czajkowski> :)

[17:32] <jono> ok
[18:04] <mhall119> not yet, focused on summit and LD setup the past few days, I haven't had the time to commit to integrating the feeds ui
[18:43] <cvillaco_> hello?
[18:44] <YoBoY> hi cvillaco_ 
[18:46] <cvillaco_> Hi YoBoY, thanks for the response.  
[18:46] <YoBoY> you are welcome :) what we can do for you ?
[18:47] <cvillaco_> i linked here trying to find out about loco teams, im curious about finding out if there is one in my area.
[18:47] <czajkowski> cvillaco_: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/
[18:48] <cvillaco_> i'm confused by the site
[18:48] <czajkowski> cvillaco_: where are you from ?
[18:48] <cvillaco_> i see a canada team, and a vancouver team
[18:48] <czajkowski> that site lists all the loco teams 
[18:48] <cvillaco_> thunder bay ontario
[18:48] <czajkowski> cvillaco_: yes
[18:48] <cvillaco_> i ddint see a toronto team and i couldnt imagine there wouldnt be one there
[18:48] <czajkowski> cvillaco_: we're working on a renaming standard 
[18:48] <czajkowski> cvillaco_: at present there isn't 
[18:49] <czajkowski> unless you want to set up one :) 
[18:49] <cvillaco_> I would prefer a support role i think.
[18:50] <YoBoY> cvillaco_: canada is a great and large country, it's why you can find more than one team. Start to look at the canadian team and ask in their forum or irc channel
[18:50] <czajkowski> cvillaco_: why not join both irc channels and get to know the people
[18:50] <czajkowski> and go from there 
[18:51] <cvillaco_> ok, thanks for the advice.
[18:53] <cvillaco_> i will stop by the irc channels for Canada and Vancouver this week and at least say hi and hang out.
[18:53] <cvillaco_> I am surprised there is no local toronto team, there are so many adroid developers and event there.
[18:53] <dscassel> cvillaco_: You're welcome to drop by. :)
[18:54] <cvillaco_> it is in a way a commercial open source center.
[18:55] <dscassel> There are groups sort of doing things in Toronto, but getting a group leader or something to do any sort of organizing is hard.
[18:55] <dscassel> cvillaco_: The guys at FreeGeek Toronto have talked to me about holding Ubuntu events.
[18:55] <dscassel> But they're focused on resurrecting Ontario Linux Fest at the moment.
[18:55] <dscassel> There were Maverick and Natty release parties in Toronto. And the occasional Ubuntu Hour.
[18:56] <dscassel> cvillaco_: As for Thunder Bay, I know there are a few Ubuntu people there.  They need someone like you to bring them together. :)
[18:58] <cvillaco_> thanks for the kind words.
[18:58] <cvillaco_> toronto is a ways from here.
[18:59] <dscassel> cvillaco_: Yeah, I know. I'm in Waterloo, ON. :)
[18:59] <cvillaco_> it is cool to hear something may spark in this neck of the woods.
[18:59] <cvillaco_> nice to meet you dscassel!
[19:00] <dscassel> cvillaco_: All it takes is somebody like you to start up an Ubuntu Hour (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour) or throw a release party. :)
[19:01] <dscassel> Nice to meet you too.  I'm usually in here or #ubuntu-ca if you have questions.  I may be afk, but I'll get back to you eventually. :)
[19:04] <cvillaco_> a release party for 11.10 may be a good idea
[19:04] <cvillaco_> ok
[19:04] <dscassel> :D
[19:20] <cvillaco_> dscassel when is a good time to connect with the Canada loco chat?
[19:28] <czajkowski> cvillaco_: there is also the hacker space there and hypatia from Ubuntu women involved in it 
[20:06] <bobto> okay
[20:12] <dscassel> cvillaco_: Any time!  Although we have our monthly IRC meeting on the second Tuesday of the month. That's when the channel's most active.
[20:12] <dscassel> czajkowski: hypatia's moved to Ottawa, and will likely be moving to Seattle sometime in the next year. :(
[20:14] <dscassel> czajkowski: genii_around organized the Natty release party. :)
[20:17] <cvillaco_> ok, i'll keep that in mind, how do i connect to the canada channel?
[20:18] <cvillaco_> or team
[20:20] <dscassel> cvillaco_: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca has all the links.
[20:20] <dscassel> On irc, /join #ubuntu-ca
[20:21] <cvillaco_> thanks for the support
[20:21] <dscassel> No problem. Hope to see you around. :)
[20:22] <cvillaco_> cool, hope to chill with some other ubuntu fans! :-)
[20:23] <cvillaco_> i'll keep in touch and maybe some info can get passed around about thunder bay
[20:24] <cvillaco_> im sure ppl around here could be down for meet and greet or a release party or something
[20:26] <dscassel> cvillaco_: Yeah, absolutely.
