[06:09] <Haden> Hey nlsthzn
[06:13] <nlsthzn> Mr. Haden, how are you :)
[06:15] <Haden> I'm good ... nlsthzn .. Looking for a way to get the ubuntu-ae mailing list
[06:15] <Haden> I guess that's the only thing that's stopping us from becoming official
[06:16] <nlsthzn> Oh, there are a number of things keeping us from being official... we have a mailing list... doesn't need to be the one that Canonical would let us have for free...
[06:17] <Haden> nlsthzn , I think you need a launchpad mailing list right ?
[06:19] <Haden> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto
[06:19] <nlsthzn> Haden: Launchpad I am not sure off... But AFAIK if we do we have... I know there are two lists... we are re-directing the one to the other (or should be)
[06:20] <Haden> nlsthzn , check out team naming standards
[06:21] <nlsthzn> Yup... everything should be ubuntu-ae
[06:21] <Haden> Our mailing list should be Ubuntu-ae , our current mailing list is Emirateslocoteam
[06:22] <nlsthzn> there are two launchpad accounts if I am not mistaked, the correctly named one and one that is wrong... problem is we dont' have control over the correct one...
[06:22] <Haden> Yup.. That's what I was figuring out...
[06:23] <Haden> The current owner isn't ready to give control or join us
[06:23] <nlsthzn> ... and that is a problem ...
[06:23] <Haden> We have contacted him several times
[06:26] <Haden> http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ae
[06:26] <nlsthzn> Yup... once we have tried enough times we might have a case to present to the loco council to get power taken from him... for now we have to be patient
[06:26] <nlsthzn> I also mailed him... no response
[06:28] <Haden> Yup.. I too sent him an email .. We can ask Omar to send him an email as well...
[06:28] <Haden> Check out the wiki page he created ..
[06:29] <nlsthzn> Link to wiki page
[06:30] <nlsthzn> also, I see they are having a meeting - http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ae/1050/detail/
[06:30] <nlsthzn> I think "we" should be there in force...
[06:30] <nlsthzn> with "we" I mean all of the emirates loco which are in Dubai currently :)
[06:31] <Haden> Good idea ..
[06:32] <Haden> I don't like the idea of competing when it come to communities
[06:32] <Haden> Not sure why this guy is not ready to join us ..
[06:35] <nlsthzn> Maybe he wants to be the top dog, or he has other motivations... either way, it would be good to be there and see what he is all about... and maybe have some flyers ready with our contact info too :p
[06:36] <Haden> nlsthzn , how do you send out an email to our mailing list members ?
[06:38] <nlsthzn> You need the e-mail address... you can find it on meet-up... I have sent Omar a mail with the link to the planned meeting...
[06:38] <Haden> nlsthzn , Emirateslocoteam mailing list ..
[06:39] <Haden> Not the meetup one .. That guy Zulfiqar is an admin for our meetup group
[06:41] <nlsthzn> Haden: He is?! When did that happen? Even if you send to the launchpad mailing list it is linked to the meetup one and it will also send out on the meetup list...
[06:43] <Haden> He had set up the last meeting .. The one which was accidentally set to December ..
[06:45] <Haden> Anyway , I'll speak to Toki and see if I can get everyone's personal email address .. We need to discuss this offline
[06:45] <Haden> I was really hoping to get the Ubuntu ae loco established ..
[06:45] <nlsthzn> We will... :)
[06:46] <nlsthzn> I have sent Toki a mail too...
[06:46] <Haden> gotta go .. Catch you later nlsthzn .. Have a great day ...
[06:47] <nlsthzn> Haden: bai :)
