| cid420 | sup all | 20:17 |
| belkinsa | Stupid question: can anyone join the (main) LoCo Team? | 20:52 |
| belkinsa | never mind, found my answer and joined the team | 22:48 |
| skellat | belkinsa: Which team are you referring to? | 23:10 |
| belkinsa | The Lococontacts one | 23:10 |
| skellat | Ah, the mailing list | 23:11 |
| belkinsa | The Loco projects is a great idea and I would like to help with them | 23:11 |
| skellat | Which ones? | 23:11 |
| skellat | AppDev, the cookbook, ? | 23:12 |
| belkinsa | No, I think the ones that I'm think of having not been brainstormed...it's the stuff that was talked about the "LoCo Projects" track of vUDS. | 23:12 |
| skellat | Okay. What you propose doing? | 23:15 |
| belkinsa | I haven't thought of any yet. | 23:15 |
| skellat | Okay | 23:16 |
| belkinsa | Well, one that I thought of was dealing with helping the doc team getting the community wiki in shape but how many would agree to help the Doc Team? | 23:18 |
| skellat | Who is Doc Team leader these days? | 23:20 |
| belkinsa | Don't know. | 23:20 |
| belkinsa | But I could post the idea to the Doc Team mailing-list. | 23:20 |
| skellat | If it is still Ben Kerensa, he's officially my counterpart for Oregon last I checked | 23:21 |
| belkinsa | I think he quit being a member but as the leader, I don't know. | 23:21 |
| belkinsa | I will ask | 23:21 |
| belkinsa | Done | 23:22 |
| skellat | The worst they can say is no | 23:22 |
| belkinsa | Yeah. | 23:23 |
| belkinsa | But I understand why they would say "no". | 23:23 |
| skellat | Which would be? | 23:23 |
| belkinsa | I think the issue that I'm seeing and for the reason of saying "no" would be the lack of wiki admins who are active and I think, training could be a issue. But I might be wrong and not making sense. | 23:25 |
| skellat | Hold on a sec | 23:26 |
| skellat | Well, right now you can just call it "Initial Concept Development" | 23:26 |
| skellat | You would probably need to narrow down the range of tasks you would like to collaborate with local communities on | 23:26 |
| belkinsa | I know. | 23:27 |
| skellat | You could use Ohio for a pilot run potentially | 23:27 |
| skellat | But you have a whole planet to choose from | 23:27 |
| belkinsa | True, true, but I think I would use our LoCo as a test pilot. But we are small and how active we are? Not that very active. | 23:28 |
| skellat | belkinsa: Everybody has issues | 23:29 |
| belkinsa | True, true. | 23:29 |
| skellat | The easy reason for using Ohio as the pilot is that You Are Here | 23:30 |
| belkinsa | Yes! That's what I was thinking! | 23:30 |
| belkinsa | (I also like the idea of the AppDev and the cookbook) | 23:32 |
| skellat | For the most part, LoCo Council won't be in the business of approving/rejecting projects. They'll mostly be trying to get potential viable partners together. In my capacity as Point of Contact/Leader, I'm all for activity being initiated by people other than me so it will not be as if you need to get my approval in general. | 23:32 |
| skellat | Pounding on/diverting resources like the website or IRC channel...yeah, current processes say I have to make those requests...but those aren't major | 23:33 |
| skellat | And in general not likely to come up as needs | 23:33 |
| belkinsa | And I just got an idea about dealing with low hanging bugs in Ubuntu and having LoCo's work one some them... | 23:33 |
| skellat | belkinsa: Have you talked to dholbach (Daniel Holbach) about it or balloons (Nicholas Skaggs)? | 23:34 |
| belkinsa | About what? | 23:34 |
| skellat | Your low-hanging bugs idea | 23:34 |
| skellat | They've been trying to have various initiatives for that sort of things off-and-on for the past couple years | 23:34 |
| belkinsa | Yeah, even the idea got into Ubuntu Women. Daniel does know that we (Ubuntu Women) are working figuring out if Harvest.ubuntu.com will be useful. | 23:35 |
| skellat | Okay | 23:35 |
| belkinsa | But as initiatives, no. | 23:35 |
| skellat | Yeah, keep them involved so that you don't try to re-implement things they've already tried | 23:36 |
| belkinsa | Aye, I know. | 23:36 |
| belkinsa | I just don't believe that we forgot to mention it in the vUDs track of Ubuntu Women. | 23:37 |
| skellat | It happens | 23:38 |
| skellat | You can't cover everything in vUDS | 23:39 |
| belkinsa | Is okay if I send out an idea to the LoCo Contact list (and the Doc Team's) list about my idea about having LoCo's helping to clean up the community wiki? Or should I wait for permission from the leader of the Doc Team? | 23:40 |
| skellat | belkinsa: Well, you don't need my permission either as Point of Contact/Leader of Ubuntu Ohio or as a Member of LoCo Council. As to Doc Team, it is up to you to know how things are working internally. If you phrase it that you're just asking to gauge interest prior to making such a proposal in Doc Team, I dunno. | 23:43 |
| skellat | It all comes down to how Doc Team is run and what the interpersonal dynamics are like there. | 23:44 |
| skellat | Gauging interest prior to making a proposal generally doesn't get you in trouble. | 23:44 |
| skellat | And it gives you something concrete to take back to Doc Team | 23:44 |
| belkinsa | I was planning to write a proposal to the Doc team's admin's before posting the idea to the whole list. But I think you maybe right...to the LoCo contacts list, right? | 23:45 |
| skellat | Yeah | 23:45 |
| belkinsa | Sure I can do that. | 23:46 |
| skellat | If there is no interest with the LoCo contacts, no need to worry Doc Team | 23:46 |
| belkinsa | Thank you for your advice. | 23:46 |
| skellat | No problem | 23:46 |
| * skellat steps away for a few moments | 23:49 | |
