[20:35] <Flare183> I have to email jon back on the mailing list stuff
[20:36] <Flare183> I've been going through a lot lately, and that includes my family having a lot going on.
[20:36] <Flare183> So just to let you guys know
[20:36] <Flare183> I haven't been ignoring you
[21:20] <Flare183> Bryanstein:
[21:21] <Flare183> Um
[21:21] <Flare183> rather, is there anyone in here?
[21:21] <Bryanstein> Flare183, yes?
[21:21] <Flare183> Hi, I'm back after having some issues with my family.
[21:21] <Flare183> and I'm here in need, I need someone to help me run this community
[21:22] <Flare183> Being one of the youngest team leaders of entire loco board is hard on me
[21:24] <Flare183> Bryanstein: would you like to be that person?
[21:25] <Bryanstein> Flare183, well...I'm a Floridian but I'm always in SC...this thing has been dead for quite some time
[21:26] <Flare183> Yes it has
[21:26] <Bryanstein> we reached out to you guys a few times and got no response
[21:26] <Flare183> Bryanstein: well I'm here now
[21:26] <Flare183> And we need help
[21:26] <Bryanstein> I'm the speaker coordinator of Southeast Linux Fest...
[21:26] <Flare183> lol
[21:26] <Flare183> I can't even goto SELF
[21:26] <Flare183> I'm 21, I'm lacking resources (money, etc) to run this without help
[21:26] <Bryanstein> there was an Ubucon at last years SELF and errr no one ponged back from here
[21:27] <Bryanstein> Flare183, why do you need $$$ to herd people
[21:27] <Bryanstein> ?
[21:27] <Flare183> Nah, I need the money to get the domain back running. But yes we do need people
[21:27] <Flare183> The people matter the most
[21:27] <Flare183> and the last few meetings I've asked many people to do such things, with no results
[21:27] <Flare183> :/
[21:29] <Flare183> Bryanstein: I'm almost ready to give up my team leader status and just be a member again, but I can't do that. I want this team to work
[21:29] <Bryanstein> Flare183, well this is the thing...from what i've seen and heard from going to Ubucon's is that many loco's try and do their own thing and branch off
[21:30]  * Flare183 sighs
[21:30] <Flare183> So that's why this place is dead
[21:30] <Flare183> I will work on this. I have a few people that use Ubuntu in my own county, so I'll do what I can. I also will try to do this and keep trying
[21:30] <Bryanstein> well the thing is this...like you said..you need the site up and xyz...there are many things that are in place already that you can use to communicate with others
[21:31] <Flare183> Yes, and I plan on using them all this time
[21:31] <Flare183> I just need to get my thoughts going and such
[21:31] <Bryanstein> http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-southcarolina
[21:32] <Flare183> yes I know
[21:32] <Flare183> and recluse is gone
[21:32] <Bryanstein> http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-southcarolina/events
[21:32] <Flare183> I can't even find him
[21:32] <Bryanstein> lol well...
[21:32] <jbicha> hi, is this another unscheduled meeting?
[21:32] <Flare183> jbicha: no, I'm just discussing the reason this place is dead...again
[21:32] <Bryanstein> get a full understanding of how the open source ecosystem works
[21:33] <Bryanstein> recluse != the whole loco
[21:33] <Flare183> lol I know this
[21:33] <Bryanstein> lol ok so keep the ball rolling
[21:33] <Flare183> I need to accept my role and quit derping
[21:34] <jbicha> we're doing good things in Columbia with Ubuntu & other tech
[21:34]  * Flare183 sighs
[21:34] <Flare183> jbicha: yeah, things that need to be brought here
[21:34] <Flare183> actually
[21:34] <Flare183> in fact
[21:34] <jbicha> I can't lead the group but we'd like to work with whoever does lead the group
[21:35] <Flare183> jbicha: I want you to talk to your guys over there and the next meeting, I want your guys over here ok?
[21:35] <Flare183> I lead it.
[21:35] <Flare183> And I will keep trying to move this group forward
[21:35] <jbicha> ok, how about a 12.04 release party?
[21:35] <Flare183> jbicha: heh
[21:35] <Flare183> You guys have to understand, I CAN'T go anywhere
[21:36] <Flare183> unless its in clemson
[21:36] <Flare183> otherwise, its not going to happen
[21:36] <Flare183> I have no way to get anywhere unless its public transportation
[21:37] <Bryanstein> Flare183, that doesnt mean there can't be a release party scheduled
[21:37] <Flare183> I don't understand.
[21:37] <Bryanstein> So you need to be there for there to be a release party?
[21:37] <Flare183> I would think so.
[21:37] <jbicha> in fact, I'm heading to TechAfterFive in a few minutes to pass out some Ubuntu CDs
[21:37] <jbicha> http://www.techafterfive.com/
[21:38] <Flare183> Bryanstein: its not that, it annoys me that I can't be apart of this community personally.
[21:38] <Flare183> If I could do so, I would be more invovled
[21:38] <Flare183> I'm 21, and I'm the youngest team leader
[21:38] <Flare183> And I don't want to just give up on this.
[21:39] <jbicha> Flare183: how difficult is it for you to get to Greenville?
[21:39] <Flare183> jbicha: very hard, mainly due to the fact that I have to ask my parents for a ride up there
[21:39] <Flare183> And you don't know my parents like I do
[21:39] <Flare183> they won't take me
[21:39] <Flare183> wait
[21:40] <Flare183> jbicha: when?
[21:40] <Flare183> I might actually be able to get my friend to take me if its on the weekend!
[21:40] <Flare183> :O
[21:40] <jbicha> I got the CDs at TA5 idea from Weudel at the last meeting (I guess in October)
[21:40] <jbicha> Flare183: have you ever heard of IT-oLogy?
[21:41] <Flare183> o_O
[21:41] <Flare183> jbicha: no?
[21:42] <Flare183> jbicha: What is it? lol
[21:42] <jbicha> ok I work with the http://www.open-it-lab.com/ which is a partner with http://it-ology.org/
[21:42] <jbicha> (I really need to blog this)
[21:42] <jbicha> IT-oLogy is a non-profit here in Columbia that's working with companies and universities to grow the IT community
[21:43] <Flare183> Alright how about this
[21:43] <Flare183> I'm going to two things
[21:43] <jbicha> its current location & operation is about a year old, but they just opened a satellite campus at the University Center in Greenville
[21:43] <Flare183> I'm going to spartunburg methodist this fall
[21:43] <Flare183> to do *
[21:43] <jbicha> the Open IT Lab has been doing a couple workshops a month introduing open source to the community
[21:43] <Flare183> that's one of them
[21:43] <Flare183> I'
[21:43] <Flare183> I'm going to schedule something in spartenburg
[21:44] <Flare183> the second thing I'm thinking about doing is getting my friend Kevin to take me to greenville and we'll have a Ubuntu Hour
[21:44] <jbicha> I'm sure IT-oLogy in Greenville would love to work with you to do similar programs there
[21:44] <Flare183> jbicha: I'll think about it
[21:44] <jbicha> I've not been to the space in Greenville yet, but they probably have space you could use
[21:44] <Flare183> but as for what I just said
[21:44] <Flare183> how does that sound?
[21:44] <Flare183> wait
[21:45] <Flare183> jbicha: are you saying we could use space for a Ubuntu hour?
[21:45] <Flare183> or other stuff?
[21:45] <jbicha> we need to talk to the people there and see but probably
[21:45] <Flare183> whoa
[21:45] <Flare183> hold up then
[21:45] <jbicha> the Greenville part is very new, a month or two old
[21:46] <Flare183> we might have something going then
[21:46] <Flare183> otherwise I'll need to talk to my campus about events
[21:46] <Flare183> trust me guys we'll get something going and I will be at it
[21:46] <Bryanstein> itology was at SELF last your btw
[21:46] <Flare183> oh that's cool
[21:46] <jbicha> that's right
[21:47] <Bryanstein> Flare183, you dont need to be at the events to lead and organize them
[21:47] <Bryanstein> it's great if you are but even greater if you arent
[21:47] <Flare183> Bryanstein: Alright then
[21:47] <jbicha> I think a big part of being an approved loco is doing the monthly reports
[21:47] <Flare183> Then I need to appoint someone to lead it
[21:47] <jbicha> ask people what they're doing and encourage people to do more
[21:47] <Flare183> jbicha: well I'll start doing that then
[21:48] <Flare183> I'll get to work on that then :)
[21:48] <Flare183> I'm going afk for a while
[21:48] <Flare183> But I'll get to work on all this :)
[21:49] <jbicha> just let us know on the mailing list when you're ready for what's been going on in the past month or so
[21:49] <Flare183> alright I will
[21:49] <jbicha> Flare183: thanks!
[21:49] <Flare183> :)
[21:49] <jbicha> I'm going to head to TA5 now, talk to you more later
[21:49] <Flare183> I'm glad that I can do this finally
[21:49] <Flare183> alright :)
