[07:54] <uber_blade> hi! I am just new to Ubuntu and i want to know if there is an offline version of WUBI.
[16:53] <belkinsa> dpm_ ping
[16:54] <dpm_> hi belkinsa
[16:55] <belkinsa> Are you the one who thought of the idea for LoCo Projects?
[16:55] <dpm_> belkinsa, it was a bit of a brainstorm in the community team, and I'll be working with LoCos on those after the new year
[16:56] <belkinsa> Ah, I see.  Thank you.  Sorry for jumping in to quickly earlier this month.
[17:12] <coolbhavi> dpm_, hey happy holidays and new year in advance
[17:12] <coolbhavi> :)
[17:13] <dpm_> thanks coolbhavi, looking forward to see some more awesomeness from you next year! :-)
[17:13] <dpm_> belkinsa, no worries, you can jump in at any time :)
[17:13] <coolbhavi> dpm_, haha thanks same to you :-)
[17:44] <belkinsa> dpm_, :)
[18:31] <holstein> !lococouncil
[18:31] <ubot2`> The LoCo Council is coolbhavi, costales, jose, SergioMeneses, skellat and PabloRubianes - they are there to help, just ask! :) You can send them an email at loco-council@lists.ubuntu.com
[18:31] <PabloRubianes> holstein: hello
[18:31] <holstein> PabloRubianes: o/
[18:31] <coolbhavi> hey holstein 
[18:31] <holstein> PabloRubianes: i might just email.. i have some casual, long-term questions about reviving the loco here.. north carolina
[18:32] <holstein> i didnt know the bot would ping you guys :)
[18:32] <PabloRubianes> holstein: don't worry
[18:32] <coolbhavi> :)
[18:32] <PabloRubianes> also is better to email us so the 5 of us get the question
[18:32] <coolbhavi> +1
[18:33] <holstein> that works for me.. im thinking about plans for spring.. and just trying to gether interest/information over my holiday break
[18:34] <holstein> its a big state, and maybe that is part of the issue getting anything long term happening
[18:34] <holstein> we had talked about splitting it up.. loco east and west or whatever.. but, i think that is overkill for where we are now, which is, just kind of dead, with some idlers in the IRC
[18:35] <holstein> i put a post to our mailing list and had a few interested parties though... 
[18:35] <PabloRubianes> holstein: we are working on the loco division but is kind of a difficult topic as we need a global solution
[18:36] <holstein> PabloRubianes: sounds challenging
[18:36] <PabloRubianes> it is
[18:38] <holstein> we actually have a rather active LUG here.. but, there are only a handful of ubuntu users
[18:38] <coolbhavi> holstein, how big is the NC division?
[18:39] <holstein> coolbhavi: you mean, members?
[18:40] <holstein> coolbhavi: its dead now.. pretty much.. we had probably around 20 in the not too distant past that were very active
[18:44] <PabloRubianes> holstein: some other locos are the same as NC
[18:44] <PabloRubianes> the thing is how attract more people to contribute
[18:45] <coolbhavi> hmm 
[18:46] <coolbhavi> alright PabloRubianes holstein its quarter past midnight here and time to sleep
[18:46] <coolbhavi> good night!
[18:46] <PabloRubianes> night coolbhavi 
[18:46] <coolbhavi> :)
[19:17] <holstein> i have some ideas,and maybe i can implement them here, and check them out.. test the waters.. i'll send an email though, and get the official stance on it
