[04:11] <savedjuli> hi
[04:34] <thefinn93> hi
[04:34] <thefinn93> welcome to the deadest channel on Freenode
[04:55] <savedjuli> I think that there's more that one dead channel... 
[04:55] <savedjuli> *than
[05:24] <thefinn93> this one is exceptionally dead
[05:24] <savedjuli> that's a shame...
[05:25] <savedjuli> but then, why is there still people in the channel?
[05:28] <thefinn93> good question. I know some of these people are active elsewhere, i've met MarkDude and valorie IRL so i can confirm they're not bots... I'm just here so that in the event that something does happen on this channel I know about it and can get involved ASAP
[05:31] <savedjuli> oh, ok  :)
[05:56]  * MarkDude has suggestion
[05:56] <MarkDude> for irc purposes a PNW channel would be Oregon, and a few other places
[05:57] <MarkDude> And thefinn93 - dont forget when I went to help Oregon team as lead, WA was able to really help. Things ebb and flow
[05:58] <thefinn93> indeed
[05:58] <MarkDude> Stretch the channel a bit- to include others- maybe even folks from Free Geek Vancouver
[05:58] <thefinn93> that'd be cool
[05:58] <thefinn93> #ubuntu-cascadia
[05:58] <MarkDude> Invite makers
[05:58] <MarkDude> PNW has already existed
[05:59] <thefinn93> oh ok
[05:59] <MarkDude> So you are in WA?
[06:00] <MarkDude> Here is the plan, go to LUGs and find folks 
[06:00] <thefinn93> yeah
[06:00] <thefinn93> in WA
[06:00] <MarkDude> Yep
[06:00] <thefinn93> but have no time
[06:00] <MarkDude> Ok
[06:01] <MarkDude> well- aim to have 10-20% of helpers from outside the area
[06:01] <MarkDude> its good to have peolple to talk to 
[06:01] <MarkDude> or make a simple bot that explains the basics
[06:01] <MarkDude> you have time for making bot?
[06:02] <MarkDude> If not- machine to host it
[06:05] <thefinn93> i have machines to host it, i have a supybot to be a bot, but not sure how to make it explain shit
[06:12] <thefinn93> MarkDude: what message do you want to hand out?
[06:13] <thefinn93> i'll see if i can get this guy to do it
[06:23] <MarkDude> We are a team in transition
[06:23] <MarkDude> be patient, people dont always answer in 2 minutes, etc
[06:24] <MarkDude> and mostly to give a list of 3-5 links to get people some more details
[06:27] <thefinn93> mk
[06:27] <thefinn93> i'll see what i can do
[08:29] <valorie> thefinn93: we're all in the same boat -- wanting a group, but all too busy to provide leadership
[08:30] <valorie> bagging on the channel won't help us recruit some folks with time to give
[23:22] <thefinn93> valorie: sorry :(
