[07:39] good morning === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach [11:52] Good day from Namibia :-) [11:58] bonjour [14:04] Hi, friends! [14:05] 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? [14:06] Gerard__: it's usually quiet around here, IRC is the sort of thing you just idle on - USA here [14:07] 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)... [14:08] Gerard__: :) [14:08] Gerard__: have you found anyone else in your area at all? [14:09] 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 :-) [14:10] Gerard__: that's definitely a good start :) [14:10] :) [14:11] 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] LoCo HowTo that should have read ;-) [14:12] Gerard__: just set up all the team stuff and apply to join ~ubuntulocoteams [14:12] or ~locoteams [14:12] I can't remember [14:12] yeah https://launchpad.net/~locoteams [14:12] Hm. Sounds pleasantly easy :-) [14:13] Gerard__: it is :) [14:13] Gerard__: remember to name your team right [14:13] that's about the only thing you can do to mess it up :) [14:14] so you'd be launchpad/~ubuntu-na if my ISO code is right [14:14] good news; it's open :) [14:15] That's right. Checked on the LoCo group list already - not really many LoCos from Africa on there yet... ;-) [14:15] Gerard__: that is true :) [14:18] Hm. Getting a bit confused there - do you need to get invited, or can you "invite" yourself somewhere there? [14:18] Gerard__: you request to join :) [14:18] there's a +join button [14:18] Gerard__: not you [14:18] the loco [14:18] sorry [14:18] you joining would be silly [14:19] Gerard__: https://launchpad.net/~locoteams/+add-my-teams [14:19] Uh well, I do lots of silly things all day long :-D [14:19] :) [14:21] OK, so "ubuntu-na" is then to be used as the login name, or would that be "~ubuntu-na"? [14:21] Gerard__: you don't need to put "~" anywhere, launchpad will do that [14:21] ~ just means a person or team [14:22] 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... [14:24] Gerard__: when you create the team? You're filling that app out for the team's info [14:24] Gerard__: you already gave your info when you created the account [14:28] 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] Oh [14:28] no no [14:29] Gerard__: if you're making an account on Launchpad, it's for you [14:29] once you're logged in, you make a new team [14:29] So... ... whereto now [14:29] 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". [14:30] So "Join the team" would probably be better than "Adde of my teams" to begin with, right? [14:30] what? No, you want to join your loco team [14:30] and get the loco team to join ~locoteams [14:39] 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] Gerard__: you create it [14:39] 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] :) [14:40] Gerard__: https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam [14:40] Aha, that's a cute link ;-) [14:40] it's on the front page :) [14:43] Hello Nurse... we got ourself a team on Launchpad :-) Sorry paultag, I must have a blonde day today... [14:43] Gerard__: quite alright :) [14:44] Gerard__: let me know when you have it join locoteams [14:45] 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] Gerard__: yes, launchpad is how we manage Ubuntu, so having a team in Launchpad integrates you with Ubuntu [14:45] Gerard__: and you'll see your team on loco.ubuntu just by joining locoteams [14:45] launchpad is very importent to Ubuntu [14:49] Gerard__: https://launchpad.net/~locoteams/+add-my-teams # <- have you done that yet? [14:49] Not yet, just busy now... [14:49] OK. [14:50] There ya go - just proposed. [14:50] Gerard__: all set. Approved. [14:51] 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? [14:52] Gerard__: I think you'd just have to whip one up. We're short docs, I think. [14:55] 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] Gerard__: yeah, RT is lame [15:02] 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] Gerard__: you can just make it [15:02] Gerard__: what do you mean [15:02] Gerard__: it's a wiki :) [15:02] it's a wiki page [15:02] just edit it [15:02] paultag: can you invite me to our channel I'm having issues... [15:02] czajkowski: sure thing [15:03] paultag: thanks my dear [15:04] 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] Gerard__: wiki.ubuntu.com [15:08] /teamname [15:19] 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? [15:21] Gerard__: loco.ubuntu is updated on a cron, so it's not real time - and you can create a wiki page [15:23] 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... [15:28] Gerard__, you have to login to wiki.ubuntu.com first and then create the wiki page [15:28] Gerard__, something like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NamibiaTeam [15:29] For the sake of unified naming - what would be better? NamibiaTeam or again ubuntu-na? [15:38] Gerard__, NamibiaTeam is fine on the wiki [15:39] OK, will use that name then. === dscassel_ is now known as dscassel [17:07] Hm, one more question: the Namibia LoCo page is still listes as "without a country" - where can I edit that? [17:08] 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 [17:11] 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... [17:18] OK, cancel that. Missed the small login link :-) [17:18] 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 === A7med is now known as Neo31
