czajkowskialoha hows folks ?09:53
czajkowskiI can defiantely see the advantages to seeing what some teams do and set an expirary on members on teams09:53
czajkowskias in you need to actually click a button to re add yourself after x amoutn of time09:53
czajkowskigood way to see if yoru team is what you think it is09:54
slashtomwhat are you talking about?09:56
czajkowskiso people join a team09:56
czajkowskiand may forget they've joined a team09:56
czajkowskithought process now is to set an expirary time for people09:56
czajkowski1 year or 18 months or 2 years09:56
czajkowskiafter that time09:57
czajkowskipeople get sent a mail asking them do they want to renew membership09:57
czajkowskiatm we've unlimtied expiration09:57
slashtomi didn't think we maintain a membership list09:57
* slashtom is confused09:57
ebelslashtom: on launchpad09:58
slashtomnot loco directory?09:58
slashtomor the wiki09:58
ebellaunchpad is a tool for developing software in a distributed way, it has source code hosting, bugs and also teams, so you can join a team to work on stuff.09:58
slashtomor the website09:58
ebellocos have teams09:58
czajkowskislashtom: why do you always mention all the other tools, everyone signs up to a team via LP, thats how Ubuntu operates. it pulls in that intfo to the LD. wiki and website are seperate and have nothing to do with membership10:00
slashtomi was always telling people that we don't really have a membership, just join it (i haven't signed up)10:01
czajkowskibut we do10:02
czajkowskiit's how a team is made up of members10:02
czajkowski:/10:02
czajkowskiproblem is now we're seeing teams like ie with many members10:02
czajkowskiwho clearly are not active10:03
czajkowskiso its not giving an accurate view of the team imo10:03
slashtomdoes it matter?10:03
czajkowskiyes10:03
czajkowskiit does10:03
slashtomi don't think i have signed up10:06
czajkowskithen technically you are not on the team10:19
czajkowskiit's just a way to see how many members there are10:19
czajkowskiwhat size a team etc10:19
Tribaalthere's something like this going on in the Swiss LoCo (the only one I can speak for)10:44
Tribaalwe're weeding out inactive members10:44
Tribaalthere are too many of them10:45
moylanperhaps sending a reminder say 6-12 months after last activity to resubscribe.  won't happen if they are active?10:52
slashtomcount the people attending ubuntu hours? ;)11:07
moylancruel! :-)11:08
czajkowskiTribaal: aye thats one loco alright11:08
czajkowskimany locos are now doing this11:08
czajkowskione way to see what's an active team11:08
czajkowskiand what's just numbers11:08
slashtomi still need to find a venue, thinking saturday 22nd octover, in the early afternoon11:09
slashtomin a coffee shop in town, would suit11:09
moylan'damn that lousy smarch weather'11:09
czajkowskihttp://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/fixtures/poolstage.html11:10
czajkowskikeep an eye on that11:10
czajkowskito avoid clashing with games11:10
czajkowskijust a bit of advice11:10
slashtommeh11:10
slashtompeople don't tend to go to coffee shops to watch the game, so it will be grand11:11
slashtommoylan: any ideas, i'm thinking about 2pm just after lunch when places will be a little quieter11:14
slashtomthe whole point being that the mid-week ubuntu hours held in a bar, are not working11:14
slashtomso i would like to try something better, and something without alcohol involved11:15
slashtoms/better/different/11:15
moylani have no idea what my schedule will be like then.  kinda chaotic at the mo.  though sat @ 2pm is worth a shot otherwise.11:15
slashtomaye, somewhere in town with food, coffee and tables11:16
slashtomwifi doesn't matter, most of us have androids and can tether :)11:16

delcoyoteHi BenChapman I'm not even doing IT as a job/study, but willing to get closer and closer. I'm stuck with my knowledge. I learn if I see an example, and I can't or don't have access to any examples, physical examples.. hard to explain...16:32

slashtomgrand, food is a particular interest of mine16:37

slashtomsuch as that i like to consume it several times a day :)16:38
delcoyoteSame here.. I have breakfast twice, and almost twice everything :-)16:38
slashtomDebian is my preferred distro, but I use Ubuntu on my work machine16:38
BenChapmandelcoyote: Debian and Ubuntu are amazingly similar16:38
BenChapmandelcoyote: The main differences are release cycles and front ends16:39
delcoyoteyes, I been playing around with linux instalation since... Mandriva... year I cant even remember, but Ubuntu wasn't even there16:39
delcoyoteI still have the laptop I was messing with, and now has openbsd on it, and has been switched off... maybe 1-2 years now16:39

BenChapmandelcoyote: What can't you figure out about it?16:41
