| akgraner | DarkwingDuck, I'm going to add to the wiki page today and create a TOC and some place holder pagers | 11:37 |
| akgraner | pages even | 11:37 |

| === akgraner changed the topic of #ubuntu-leadership to: Topic for #ubuntu-leadership is: Welcome to the Ubuntu Leadership Team - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuLeadership | *REMINDER* Vote for Ubuntu Leadership Meeting poll at - http://www.doodle.com/f955yyub63n24nha - Poll Closes on Friday, September 23, 2011. | ||
| akgraner | I'm adding comments to a few of the documents...just want to make sure we keep all the references straight and the tools easy :-) | 13:36 |
| akgraner | I am loving the suggestions and lists - you all are AWESOME! | 13:37 |
| akgraner | I'll also be putting the handbook in an actual book format - (Same format we use for the official ubuntu book) then I'll send it to team members to edit with explanation on how to do so...:-) (This way you all learn how to edit should you be asked to help with projects like that :-) as we are always looking for new tech reviewers and stuff) | 13:39 |
| akgraner | so if you already know what we use and how to add edits then it's a win all the way around | 13:39 |
| akgraner | YoBoY, hey! | 14:09 |
| YoBoY | hey akgraner :) | 14:09 |
| akgraner | will you be at UDS? | 14:09 |
| akgraner | You have the coolest suggestions for things | 14:09 |
| YoBoY | I haven't applied :] and I'm not yet decided ¬_¬ (too much work) | 14:09 |
| akgraner | I really like getting your feedback | 14:10 |
| YoBoY | :) | 14:10 |
| akgraner | ahh ok | 14:10 |
| akgraner | well please as all this starts shaping up please give feedback especially if I use to much American phrasing and stuff.... | 14:10 |
| YoBoY | you can always have my feedback :) if i don't go I'll try to participate on irc ;) | 14:11 |
| akgraner | I try to keep an inclusive international filter on things, but sometime the redneck in me just comes jumping out :-) | 14:11 |
| YoBoY | cool :) but so far you are doing great | 14:13 |
| akgraner | thank you - just keep me on track :-) | 14:13 |
| YoBoY | I have to take time to read the leadership book ^^" | 14:13 |
| akgraner | remember it is just starting out so it isn't formated correctly and it's a very rough draft | 14:14 |
| akgraner | I'll work on format this week | 14:14 |
| YoBoY | ok :) | 14:15 |
| head_victim | akgraner: don't worry too much about localisms, we all do it. I have to keep toning down the ocker in me. | 14:24 |
| akgraner | head_victim, :-) I just try to be aware of it | 14:24 |
| ashams | Hi ppl | 14:30 |
| ashams | I need your opinion | 14:30 |
| ashams | I know it's a weired idea | 14:31 |
| ashams | it is not related to leadership project | 14:31 |
| akgraner | ashams, what's up | 14:32 |
| ashams | akgraner: what if we make an appreciation day | 14:32 |
| ashams | it would be something like a feast | 14:32 |
| ashams | where everybody thank everybody | 14:32 |
| ashams | one day every year | 14:33 |
| ashams | I think this joyness can/will revive activity and will give ppl a reason to suffer all the year-long :) | 14:33 |
| akgraner | I like that - but what I'd like to do as well along those lines is revive "Hall of Fame) | 14:33 |
| YoBoY | like a free hug day ? ^^" | 14:33 |
| akgraner | and have one day a month where we blog about people all day etc | 14:33 |
| ashams | YoBoY: yeah, something like this | 14:33 |
| akgraner | kinda like we do for Ada Lovelace Day and others | 14:33 |
| ashams | akgraner: yeah | 14:34 |
| ashams | but it can be only once a year | 14:34 |
| ashams | so we keep it's joyness | 14:34 |
| ashams | and make ppl wait for it | 14:34 |
| ashams | maybe it will be a big magnet to this community | 14:34 |
| ashams | imagine all locos send a thanking msgs to other locos | 14:35 |
| ashams | and devs to triaggers | 14:35 |
| ashams | and vice versa | 14:35 |
| ashams | a day to put everybody in oe circle | 14:35 |
| ashams | one@ | 14:35 |
| akgraner | ashams, I think it's great | 14:36 |
| ashams | akgraner: thanks | 14:36 |
| akgraner | how does this sound - let me cross reference all the Ubuntu weeks and other tech appreciation days and see if we can find a unique day | 14:36 |
| akgraner | ashams, actually this fits in nicely with leadership | 14:37 |
| ashams | akgraner: gr8 | 14:37 |
| ashams | you know the first day someone started to develop into ubuntu? | 14:37 |
| akgraner | leaders appreciate and thank those they lead- they find ways to motivate, recruit and retain members | 14:37 |
| akgraner | so this would fit nicely | 14:37 |
| ashams | yeah, it will benift in both ways | 14:38 |
| ashams | keeping current ppl alive | 14:38 |
| ashams | and invite more ppl | 14:38 |
| YoBoY | there is a website listing all these "appreciation day" but I can't find it again :] | 14:39 |
| ashams | YoBoY: GR8 :) | 14:39 |
| ashams | pl, you're nice :D | 14:39 |
| akgraner | YoBoY, yep I can't find it either - but we'll get it all together :-) | 14:40 |
| ashams | akgraner: YoBoY : what about 8 July 2005 ? | 14:42 |
| YoBoY | 2005 ? | 14:42 |
| ashams | YoBoY: oh sorry, meant every year :) | 14:43 |
| ashams | I just copied the date from wikipedia | 14:43 |
| ashams | Guys, take a look at this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2004-September/000000.html Interesting :) | 14:49 |
| YoBoY | souvenirs... :) | 14:51 |
| === Cheesehead_away is now known as Cheesehead | ||
| Cheesehead | Added a section on burnout. Since I'm too lazy too burnout at anything, the anecdotes are based on people I have known. | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 17:53 |
| akgraner | Cheesehead, too funny - I think between jono and I we have a lot of information on burnout | 20:27 |
| Cheesehead | akgraner: Indeed, but nobody leapt up to grab that slice of the pizza. I've never burnt out. I've just kept others from burning out. | 20:33 |
| akgraner | :-) | 20:33 |
| YoBoY | (lucky one) | 20:33 |
| Cheesehead | Not lucky, *lazy* | 20:40 |
| Cheesehead | Can't get on the burnout cycle if 12 steps is just to much to bother... | 20:41 |
| head_victim | On the previous conversation about 6 hours ago, the hall of fame is good (needs some polish but still good) as I've used it to congratulate members in the loco who appear there. I try to make a bit of a fuss about them (tweet, email the list, tell them on IRC, etc) as it's one of the few ways we can give meaningful recognition for hard work. | 20:44 |
| YoBoY | we give goodies (tshirt, mug, stickers...) :) | 20:47 |
| head_victim | Ah, we're a small group with no funding :/ | 20:48 |
| head_victim | I'm already trying to scrounge some prizes for an installation fest I'm thinking of | 20:48 |
| head_victim | It's a good measuring stick though. If you make that you've been doing some hard work in my experience. | 20:50 |
| YoBoY | money is always the problem on the begining | 20:52 |
| YoBoY | our loco started like yours, some of our first members paid for the first steps of the loco | 20:54 |
| Cheesehead | I tend to look at things the other way around: What would people enjoy and feel fulfilled by, and work the group mission into that. | 20:55 |
| Cheesehead | I used to do community TV, and we spend 50% of our taime making video, and 50% of our time on pizza-and-beer afterward | 20:55 |
| Cheesehead | Never a problem finding volunteers, if 50% of out time is already fun | 20:56 |
| YoBoY | (I love the pizza and beer part, always the best moments :D) | 20:56 |
| Cheesehead | Had a couple find each other and get married from it. | 20:57 |
| Cheesehead | "Hey, everybody. Lift a glass to Scott, who ran the sound board great tonight. It was a tricky one tonight, too." | 20:58 |
| Cheesehead | That's all the recognition we gave. | 20:58 |
| Cheesehead | Not saying it's appropriate for a LoCo, but perhaps an idea in there somewhere. | 20:59 |
| head_victim | Our loco is ancient but went into a bit of hibernation that I'm trying to help wake it from. | 20:59 |
| head_victim | I always try to link social with work as well, for the install fest there will be an adjournment to a pub. | 21:00 |
| Cheesehead | Install-based pub games? Fastest install gets a bonus at darts? | 21:01 |
| head_victim | Haha | 21:01 |
| Cheesehead | Back in video, we did great with families. Kids had pizza-and-soda, but 12-and-up still ran cameras and even directed a few times. | 21:02 |
| head_victim | Do you have any links to a list of what your team created? | 21:03 |
| head_victim | My team wanted streaming and video so we've opened a youtube and ustream account, they might provide some inspiration | 21:03 |
| Cheesehead | No, I left video (changed cities) before the web and links even existed. Just some old VHS tapes in a box somewhere. | 21:05 |
| head_victim | Ahh fair enough, just checking | 21:06 |
| head_victim | Anyway, I should head to work. Cheerio, thanks for the thoughs | 21:06 |
| head_victim | thoughts* | 21:06 |
| Cheesehead | Take care | 21:06 |
| ashams | Hi again | 23:19 |
