[15:19] <ianto> AlanBell: Hi. Sorry for not responding ages ago I've only just come out of hospital
[15:20] <AlanBell> oh, sorry to hear that, you OK?
[15:21] <ianto> AlanBell: Yeah, what's (/was) up?
[15:22] <AlanBell> there was some discussion at UDS around language based LoCo teams which might be relevant to -cym
[15:22] <AlanBell> not quite sure what the outcome was in the end
[15:23] <ianto> Oh right fair play, thanks for the notification
[15:25] <AlanBell> I didn't follow all the arguments and I am not sure who won, but there are teams that do "french" or "spanish" but are not geographicly related to france and spain
[15:25] <AlanBell> there seems to be some people who want to stop such teams existing, or stop them being on the LoCo directory
[15:26] <ianto> It's correct that they are not LoCo
[15:26] <ianto> However they should continue to exist
[15:26] <AlanBell> personally I think if the LoCo directory doesn't support that well it is a bug in the LoCo directory, but hey, I don't want to get involved in that discussion :)
[15:26] <AlanBell> quite agree
[15:27] <ianto> Neither are they truly localisation teams. GloCo teams, Global Community ;)
[15:27] <AlanBell> anyhow, I think things just carry on as they are for the moment
[15:28] <AlanBell> I think some developers want to standardise the world into neat non-overlapping countries with single languages
[15:28] <AlanBell> would be better from a developers perspective I have to agree :)
[15:28] <AlanBell> all countries should be the same size too
[15:29] <ianto> Like France with countles Langues D'Oile? :P
[15:29] <AlanBell> yeah, and canada just have to make up their mind whether they are going to speak English or French
[15:30] <ianto> It shouldn't be Locality > Language but Language > Locality. Such as how en_GB or fr_FR are set
[15:32] <ianto> When sorting things into little groups, that doesn't mean that localities with multiple languages shouldn't have groups though
[15:32] <ianto> It's a hard one to sort
[15:33] <AlanBell> yeah, the bottom line is they are not going to have much success reorganising the world to fit the database schema they want to build
