[07:39] <dholbach> good morning
[11:52] <Gerard__> Good day from Namibia :-)
[11:58] <mhall119> bonjour
[14:04] <h00k> Hi, friends!
[14:05] <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?
[14:06] <paultag> Gerard__: it's usually quiet around here, IRC is the sort of thing you just idle on - USA here
[14:07] <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)...
[14:08] <paultag> Gerard__: :)
[14:08] <paultag> Gerard__: have you found anyone else in your area at all?
[14:09] <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 :-)
[14:10] <Pendulum> Gerard__: that's definitely a good start :)
[14:10] <paultag> :)
[14:11] <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 ;-)
[14:12] <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 :-)
[14:13] <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 :)
[14:14] <paultag> so you'd be launchpad/~ubuntu-na  if my ISO code is right
[14:14] <paultag> good news; it's open :)
[14:15] <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 :)
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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> :)
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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...
[14:24] <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
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <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".
[14:30] <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
[14:39] <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> :)
[14:40] <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 :)
[14:43] <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 :)
[14:44] <paultag> Gerard__: let me know when you have it join locoteams
[14:45] <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
[14:49] <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.
[14:50] <Gerard__> There ya go - just proposed.
[14:50] <paultag> Gerard__: all set. Approved.
[14:51] <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?
[14:52] <paultag> Gerard__: I think you'd just have to whip one up. We're short docs, I think.
[14:55] <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
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <czajkowski> paultag: thanks my dear 
[15:04] <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
[15:08] <czajkowski>  /teamname
[15:19] <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?
[15:21] <paultag> Gerard__: loco.ubuntu is updated on a cron, so it's not real time - and you can create a wiki page
[15:23] <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...
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <Gerard__> For the sake of unified naming - what would be better? NamibiaTeam or again ubuntu-na?
[15:38] <leogg> Gerard__, NamibiaTeam is fine on the wiki
[15:39] <Gerard__> OK, will use that name then.
[17:07] <Gerard__> Hm, one more question: the Namibia LoCo page is still listes as "without a country" - where can I edit that? 
[17:08] <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
[17:11] <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...
[17:18] <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
