| Gerard__ | Good day from Namibia :-) | 11:52 |
| mhall119 | bonjour | 11:58 |
| h00k | Hi, friends! | 14:04 |
| Gerard__ | Hi folks, not much goin on today I guess? Anyway, busy setting up a new LoCo in Namibia, and wondering if we have anyone else from Namibia online here at the moment? | 14:05 |
| paultag | Gerard__: it's usually quiet around here, IRC is the sort of thing you just idle on - USA here | 14:06 |
| Gerard__ | Yepp, thought so :-) Also kind of the reason why I started with an FB page first - few people in Namibia seem to be really busy with IRC channels (and if so - they probably paly games)... | 14:07 |
| paultag | Gerard__: :) | 14:08 |
| paultag | Gerard__: have you found anyone else in your area at all? | 14:08 |
| Gerard__ | Yepp, group (well: FB group) has been opened only today, and we're four people already. Will need a lot of pushing through "normal" media, but al least someone from the local newspaper has become quite inquisitive already :-) | 14:09 |
| Pendulum | Gerard__: that's definitely a good start :) | 14:10 |
| paultag | :) | 14:10 |
| Gerard__ | I was wondering - apart from the Lo HowTo, which gives you more the technical requirements - is there any formal process to establish a LoCo? I mean, I'm just pushing my luck at the moment, trying to see where this gets me... | 14:11 |
| Gerard__ | LoCo HowTo that should have read ;-) | 14:11 |
| paultag | Gerard__: just set up all the team stuff and apply to join ~ubuntulocoteams | 14:12 |
| paultag | or ~locoteams | 14:12 |
| paultag | I can't remember | 14:12 |
| paultag | yeah https://launchpad.net/~locoteams | 14:12 |
| Gerard__ | Hm. Sounds pleasantly easy :-) | 14:12 |
| paultag | Gerard__: it is :) | 14:13 |
| paultag | Gerard__: remember to name your team right | 14:13 |
| paultag | that's about the only thing you can do to mess it up :) | 14:13 |
| paultag | so you'd be launchpad/~ubuntu-na if my ISO code is right | 14:14 |
| paultag | good news; it's open :) | 14:14 |
| Gerard__ | That's right. Checked on the LoCo group list already - not really many LoCos from Africa on there yet... ;-) | 14:15 |
| paultag | Gerard__: that is true :) | 14:15 |
| Gerard__ | Hm. Getting a bit confused there - do you need to get invited, or can you "invite" yourself somewhere there? | 14:18 |
| paultag | Gerard__: you request to join :) | 14:18 |
| paultag | there's a +join button | 14:18 |
| paultag | Gerard__: not you | 14:18 |
| paultag | the loco | 14:18 |
| paultag | sorry | 14:18 |
| paultag | you joining would be silly | 14:18 |
| paultag | Gerard__: https://launchpad.net/~locoteams/+add-my-teams | 14:19 |
| Gerard__ | Uh well, I do lots of silly things all day long :-D | 14:19 |
| paultag | :) | 14:19 |
| Gerard__ | OK, so "ubuntu-na" is then to be used as the login name, or would that be "~ubuntu-na"? | 14:21 |
| paultag | Gerard__: you don't need to put "~" anywhere, launchpad will do that | 14:21 |
| paultag | ~ just means a person or team | 14:21 |
| Gerard__ | Key question is: do I give *my* full name there, or the team name when asked for "Full Name"? Since I can't look behind the application screen, I wouldn't know if I could add the team name later anywhere... | 14:22 |
| paultag | Gerard__: when you create the team? You're filling that app out for the team's info | 14:24 |
| paultag | Gerard__: you already gave your info when you created the account | 14:24 |
| Gerard__ | That's the point - I have no "account" anywhere yet. Just knocking on all doors I can currently find - and your link allows me to create an account, where I have to state a "Full Name". I take it now, that's the "Full Team Name" (ubuntu-na)? | 14:28 |
| paultag | Oh | 14:28 |
| paultag | no no | 14:28 |
| paultag | Gerard__: if you're making an account on Launchpad, it's for you | 14:29 |
| paultag | once you're logged in, you make a new team | 14:29 |
| Gerard__ | So... <hitting reset button>... whereto now | 14:29 |
| paultag | Gerard__: go to LP and log in. If you can't log in, create an account. Once logged in, create a team. The team will be "ubuntu-na". | 14:29 |
| Gerard__ | So "Join the team" would probably be better than "Adde of my teams" to begin with, right? | 14:30 |
| paultag | what? No, you want to join your loco team | 14:30 |
| paultag | and get the loco team to join ~locoteams | 14:30 |
| Gerard__ | Well, either the coffee today left some serious brain damage, or I'm just too dumb. I have a Launcpad account, and have just logged in, This unfortunately does not get me any further - how would I add a LoCo team that's not there yet then? | 14:39 |
| paultag | Gerard__: you create it | 14:39 |
| paultag | Like I said - Gerard__: go to LP and log in. If you can't log in, create an account. Once logged in, create a team. The team will be "ubuntu-na". | 14:39 |
| paultag | :) | 14:39 |
| paultag | Gerard__: https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam | 14:40 |
| Gerard__ | Aha, that's a cute link ;-) | 14:40 |
| paultag | it's on the front page :) | 14:40 |
| Gerard__ | Hello Nurse... we got ourself a team on Launchpad :-) Sorry paultag, I must have a blonde day today... | 14:43 |
| paultag | Gerard__: quite alright :) | 14:43 |
| paultag | Gerard__: let me know when you have it join locoteams | 14:44 |
| Gerard__ | SO I take it everyone I'd like to add to that ~ubuntu-na team will then also have to have a Launchpad account, right? | 14:45 |
| paultag | Gerard__: yes, launchpad is how we manage Ubuntu, so having a team in Launchpad integrates you with Ubuntu | 14:45 |
| paultag | Gerard__: and you'll see your team on loco.ubuntu just by joining locoteams | 14:45 |
| paultag | launchpad is very importent to Ubuntu | 14:45 |
| paultag | Gerard__: https://launchpad.net/~locoteams/+add-my-teams # <- have you done that yet? | 14:49 |
| Gerard__ | Not yet, just busy now... | 14:49 |
| paultag | OK. | 14:49 |
| Gerard__ | There ya go - just proposed. | 14:50 |
| paultag | Gerard__: all set. Approved. | 14:50 |
| Gerard__ | Purrrfect. I would now obviously have to let the folks on my FB page know about this - if there some "sign-up FAQ" I could send them to, or do I have to qucikly make one myself? | 14:51 |
| paultag | Gerard__: I think you'd just have to whip one up. We're short docs, I think. | 14:52 |
| Gerard__ | Ah, OK, no probs. I can see I can create a mailing list myself now - followed the HoTo and sent a mail to the request tracker yesterday about that (ID #17912), so that's obviously obsolete then... | 14:55 |
| paultag | Gerard__: yeah, RT is lame | 14:55 |
| Gerard__ | Who handles the Wiki pages for the teams these days? I contacted Matthias Urlichs yesterday, but his own page tells me that he's pretty tied up with other work. Would I have to contact someone else then? | 15:02 |
| paultag | Gerard__: you can just make it | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | Gerard__: what do you mean | 15:02 |
| paultag | Gerard__: it's a wiki :) | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | it's a wiki page | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | just edit it | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | paultag: can you invite me to our channel I'm having issues... | 15:02 |
| paultag | czajkowski: sure thing | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | paultag: thanks my dear | 15:03 |
| Gerard__ | Yeah well, hang on - at the moment I have a Launchpad acnt, a ~ubuntu-na LoCo page on launchd, but where's the Wiki? | 15:04 |
| paultag | Gerard__: wiki.ubuntu.com | 15:04 |
| czajkowski | /teamname | 15:08 |
| Gerard__ | OK, so there's the Ubuntu Wiki. That however won't list me or ubuntu-na on http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ - and if I see that correctly, unless I would be there, I can't create a Wiki page for my team, right? | 15:19 |
| paultag | Gerard__: loco.ubuntu is updated on a cron, so it's not real time - and you can create a wiki page | 15:21 |
| Gerard__ | Hm. How? Just adding the name of the loco brings me to http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-na - which reads alright. But nothing to edit there... | 15:23 |
| leogg | Gerard__, you have to login to wiki.ubuntu.com first and then create the wiki page | 15:28 |
| leogg | Gerard__, something like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NamibiaTeam | 15:28 |
| Gerard__ | For the sake of unified naming - what would be better? NamibiaTeam or again ubuntu-na? | 15:29 |
| leogg | Gerard__, NamibiaTeam is fine on the wiki | 15:38 |
| Gerard__ | OK, will use that name then. | 15:39 |
| === dscassel_ is now known as dscassel | ||
| Gerard__ | Hm, one more question: the Namibia LoCo page is still listes as "without a country" - where can I edit that? | 17:07 |
| mhall119 | Gerard__: if you are a team admin in Launchpad, log in to loco.ubuntu.com, go to your team's page, click the edit link in the secondary-navigation, and there you can select country, language, etc | 17:08 |
| Gerard__ | What do you mean with "secondary-navigation"? I can find "Change Details" as a link, but do not find any reference to a location there... | 17:11 |
| Gerard__ | OK, cancel that. Missed the small login link :-) | 17:18 |
| mhall119 | Gerard__: after you log in, go to http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-na and click the "Edit Details" link in the gray bar below the main orange bar | 17:18 |
