[09:20] <sagaci> head_victim: 
[10:52] <head_victim> sagaci: pong
[11:11] <sagaci> would it be worth investigating state locos
[11:11] <sagaci> head_victim: ^
[11:12] <head_victim> sagaci: depends on if you believe in "build it and they will come" I guess.
[11:12] <head_victim> My logic is we don't have enough to staff a national loco properly so I can't imagine how well we'd go staffing individual state groups
[11:15] <head_victim> Happy to have some sort of trial for it, but I think we risk alienating most of the states
[11:17] <sagaci> the couple of people in each state?
[11:17] <head_victim> That and the large number of states with only one or two semi regualr contributors
[11:18] <sagaci> I'd say there's a lot of ubuntu contributors but loco contributors?
[11:19] <head_victim> Yeah, that's pretty much it. As well as vast numbers of Ubuntu Users not even knowing loco's exist
[11:21] <head_victim> More than happy for you to put it to the list as an option and see what reaction it gets.
[11:21] <head_victim> If we have 7 people put their hands up it might be worth a shot.
[11:23] <sagaci> 7 per state
[11:24] <head_victim> Even one energised person per state is more than we have now
[11:26] <sagaci> yup
[11:30] <head_victim> I'd be completely against formalising entire councils for each state
[11:31] <head_victim> But setting state organisers would be something worth investigating.
[11:31] <head_victim> My view is someone who is responsible for organising events. Not necessarily running them all themselves but providing assistance in getting them off the ground.
[11:32] <head_victim> We have lots of people keen but very few people putting up hands at the moment when it comes to event organising.
[11:36] <head_victim> I have to head off to do some other boring stuff but it's a good point you raise and happy to hear what others think on the topic.
[11:53] <ikt> anyone got a huawei 3g usb modem to work on 12.04?
[11:54] <sagaci> the e1762 worked
[11:57] <ikt> oh
[11:57] <ikt> tha'ts the one i've got here
[11:57] <ikt> it doesn't connect
[11:59] <ikt> GSM connection failed: (32) No cause information available
[12:10] <sagaci> at least it used to
[12:10] <sagaci> no fiddling but that would have been with 10.04/10, 11.04

[12:36] <ikt> sagaci, did you do anything special to get it working?
[12:59] <sagaci> nope, just connected, and went through the network manager setup and used the internode as the apn
[12:59] <sagaci> the internode option from the menu
[13:00] <sagaci> I plugged it in and you have to wait a good 30-45 seconds sometimes
