[10:22] <TLE> hey guys, just answering sokhem on the list, the debian installer the terminal based installer for the server version right?
[10:27] <sagaci> and alternate, afaik
[10:31] <TLE> thanks
[10:38] <dpm> yes, that's right
[14:51] <jokerdino> ah hi dpm
[14:51] <dpm> hi jokerdino
[14:52] <jokerdino> i would like to say thank you for the translation stats page.
[14:52] <jokerdino> our translation team still has a long way to go before we can make it..
[14:53] <dpm> you're welcome :)
[14:53] <jokerdino> :)
[14:53] <dpm> jokerdino, what was your translation team?
[14:53] <jokerdino> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-ta The tamil team
[14:54] <dpm> ah, cool
[14:54] <dpm> and how's the team doing?
[14:55] <jokerdino> pretty inactive :/
[14:56] <jokerdino> i am looking for ways to get more translators. got to email the mailing list about my ideas.
[15:00] <dpm> jokerdino, but it's good to see you're starting the ball rolling. Let me know if I can help in any way
[15:01] <jokerdino> you have already helped by giving us the stats page. so, we can check our progress on a daily basis.
[15:06] <dpm> jokerdino, if you send me an e-mail with a couple of paragraphs explaining what your goals are for the team, perhaps I can give a hand by writing a blog post on Ubuntu Planet with a call for Tamil translators?
[15:07] <jokerdino> that might help.
[15:08] <jokerdino> just one problem. our admin is not very active in the launchpad and we already have a backlog of people whose applications have neither been rejected or approved.
[15:09] <jokerdino> i don't blame my admin. the other day, i had a chat with one of the senior member of the group here in #ubuntu-tam and he said amachu (our admin) has been quite busy with RL chores lately.
[15:09] <jokerdino> so, i was in the process of proposing to my team that we should have some procedure set so getting approved into the team would be somewhat organized.
[15:10] <dpm> jokerdino, it's normal that people gets busy, and if someone else wants to take the initiative and run the team, we've got a defined process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/RoleReassignmentPolicy
[15:10] <jokerdino> thanks, i am reading it.
[15:10] <dpm> so I'd say that if the current team leader is inactive and you're willing to help the team become more active, you should think of becoming the new team lead
[15:11] <jokerdino> would that work?
[15:12] <jokerdino> as in like, is that what that is supposed to be done?
[15:13] <jokerdino> i would take your suggestion into consideration. i think it would be better to discuss this with our team.
[15:13] <jokerdino> i shall get back to you. thanks a lot :)
[15:53] <jokerdino> ok dpm, just emailed the team about my goals and intentions. hopefully they will respond positively. :)
[15:53] <jokerdino> though, i forgot to mention about the link you just shared with me.
[15:53] <jokerdino> regarding change of team leader.. :/
[15:54] <dpm> jokerdino, no worries, let me know how it goes!
[15:54] <jokerdino> thanks. i will sure let you know.
[15:54] <dpm> you can also send a follow up e-mail with the url
[15:55] <jokerdino> good point. will do as such.
[15:58] <jokerdino> anyway, thanks for your help, i now have to go off. good night! meet you later!
