[16:48] <pleia2> mhall119: care to do a Unity presentation for User Days on the 14th?
[16:48] <pleia2> could be intro to Unity, or using lenses, or whatever you want
[17:05] <nigelb> OMG AlanBell
[17:05] <nigelb> CONGRATS!
[17:08]  * pleia2 hugs nigelb 
[17:09]  * nigelb hugs pleia2 :)
[17:10] <mhall119> pleia2: I'd be happy to, but I'm not exactly an expert.  Have you asked any of the develoeprs?
[17:12] <pleia2> mhall119: no, I don't know many of them
[17:12] <pleia2> we just need someone :)
[17:12] <pleia2> preferably for a couple of sessions covering different things
[17:13] <mhall119> pleia2: if you put a call for presenters on G+, I'll share it
[17:13] <mhall119> if you can't find someone, though, I'll be happy to do a session from a user's perspective

[17:19] <mhall119> nop
[17:19] <mhall119> pleia2: have you asked davidcalle to do something about Lenses?
[17:19] <pleia2> nope
[17:20] <mhall119> I'll see if I can't track him down and ask
[17:20] <pleia2> thank you :)
[17:20] <mhall119> :)
[17:29] <AlanBell> thanks pleia2
[17:31] <pleia2> AlanBell: sure, should join #ubuntu-ops! :)
[20:15] <maco> hey loco council type peoples: are free cds the difference between approved and expired teams?
[20:22] <pleia2> there are also some other benefits, sometimes jono or someone will post about publishers who will send books to approved teams, there was an approved team gift a while back, conference packs are smaller for teams who are not approved
[20:23] <maco> but its all about the swag, the mailing lists and hosting wont disappear, right?
[20:23] <pleia2> everyone gets a mailing list, canonical hosting is soft of a fuzzy area (I don't love the idea that it would be revoked, that causes problems)
[20:24] <pleia2> nothing happens immediately when you expire though, has the loco council been in contact about a reapproval? and do you intend to go for it?
[20:25] <maco> thanks
[20:25] <pleia2> if you intend to they can just extend you until the review meeting
[20:25] <maco> the loco council apparently filed a bug report that we needed to get reapproved months and months ago but nobody knew about it
[20:25] <pleia2> doh :( it would have been sent to the team contact
[20:26] <maco> so our contact got an email that we're gonna expire last week, and he has talked to laura, and they're gonna extend so we can do the application, but tbh i was surprised we got reapproved last time
[20:26] <maco> (also im surprised two years has passed since then)
[20:27] <pleia2> gotcha
[20:28] <maco> some on the team were afraid it means the team, mailing list, everything disappears and so i was telling them nahh, we just dont get free swag anymore
[20:29] <maco> user support on the mailing list wouldnt stop
