[07:05] <dholbach> good morning
[07:34] <amireldor> Hello there LoCo teamers, I'm from the unapproved Israeli team and I need some helping in reapprova (as the current point-of-contact)l. We don't have a lot of activity, and many people are not active in the team anymore after moving to Fedora or openSuSE, but as a community regardless of operating system of choice we still have the best people in Israel.
[07:35] <amireldor> I am holding a meetup this Friday about improving our LoCo site, and I'm hoping to see some new faces I never met and to see how I can get them active
[07:35] <amireldor> or more actrive :)
[07:36] <amireldor> There's also a requirement of printing some CDs locally which I encourage some people to organize (I don't want all the activities to fall on my behalf)
[07:36] <amireldor> Well, I think my messages here are more of a "wish me luck" than a real request for help. If there are any directions I would be glad to hear.
[07:37] <amireldor> My only request would be, what should I do with the global Ubuntu community interaction. That's only watching out for the monthly team reports? Thanks!
[07:40] <commandoline> amireldor: using the loco directory is nice for that too, that way all meetings/events are visible for the global community easily. And good luck, hope it'll be a success :)
[07:41] <commandoline> oh, and did you see that the approved/unapproved process has been replaced? (http://lococouncil.ubuntu.com/2013/08/25/new-local-communities-healthcheck/)
[07:41] <amireldor> commandoline, I've read the mail on that, but I will read the link you have given.
[07:42] <amireldor> Is the loco directory a place for 'local-only' events? It seems a bit daunting to put events that are not intended to be global there
[07:42] <commandoline> no need I think, the link is pretty much the same. Just wondering because you used the approved/unapproved wording in your messages.
[07:43] <amireldor> commandoline, actually the message I sent here is due to the approval email sent :)
[07:44] <commandoline> amireldor: we (dutch LoCo) put everything there. From IRC meetings to release parties, (online) workshops, etc. It doesn't do any harm and it's offers some nice functionality for e.g. keeping track of meeting logs & agenda.
[07:45] <amireldor> commandoline, i'll check the loco directory then. I recently managed to get a meetup.com group running for Israel's FOSS non-profit organization and as a small country I believe it should be enough to reach all the Ubuntu members
[07:46] <amireldor> but as I want to become re approved I will start using the loco services available as well
