[11:25] <grantbow> hello ebel
[11:25] <ebel> yo
[11:26] <ebel> Is ubuntu-ke an approved loco?
[11:26] <ebel> you could get a free shipment of ubuntu oneric (the next release) CDs?
[11:26] <grantbow> not yet, takes more than one meetup. I just went through this in 2010 with California.
[11:26] <grantbow> err, 2009 I think
[11:27] <grantbow> I'm working on it though
[11:27] <grantbow> Have to show more activity, file an application and go before the LoCo Council in IRC to get approved.
[11:28] <grantbow> in the #ubuntu-locoteams channel
[11:29] <grantbow> also there's a reapproval process to keep the approval status for getting free stuff
[11:29] <grantbow> did you see th list of free stuff already?
[11:29]  * grantbow looks for it
[11:40] <grantbow> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams & follow a few links to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingCds
[11:40] <grantbow> they can also be ordered at cost essentially for good purposes like conference appearances
[11:42] <grantbow> the supply is quite limited now as Ubuntu grows in popularity. They ended the free CD program from shipit.ubuntu.com
[11:43] <grantbow> for non-approved locos or individuals
[11:43] <grantbow> though there are exceptions made for people that contribute to Ubuntu
[12:08] <ebel> yeah
[12:08] <ebel> i went through it with ubuntu-ie
[12:10] <ebel> and we got re-approved recently
[12:11] <ebel> you still get free stuff
[12:16] <ebel> it's a good way to get encouraged to do more stuff
