| BobJonkman1 | Hi belkinsa: Just saw your request from *days* ago: | 20:41 |
| BobJonkman1 | http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/06/10/%23ubuntu-locoteams.html#t20:58 | 20:41 |
| BobJonkman1 | belkinsa: There is no Ubuntu-ca team meeting scheduled, neither for IRC nor VideoChat | 20:42 |
| belkinsa | I know and I figured, but when is the next one? | 20:42 |
| BobJonkman1 | I'll poll the mailing list, see if there's sufficient interest. | 20:43 |
| BobJonkman1 | Last few meetings it's been mostly me talking to myself. | 20:43 |
| BobJonkman1 | Not much point in that, I already know what I'm going to say... | 20:43 |
| belkinsa | Alright, thanks. Ah, I see and I understand. I almost had that happen to me in the UOS. | 20:43 |
| belkinsa | I guess meetings should be from time to time if you can't hold monthly ones and you have no major projects. | 20:44 |
| BobJonkman1 | As long as it's being recorded or logged somewhere, then any information you give out can still be valuable to other who come across it later | 20:44 |
| belkinsa | Indeed. | 20:45 |
| BobJonkman1 | That's right. Usually our meetings are just announcements of Ubuntu events, or local events | 20:45 |
| BobJonkman1 | So there may be a lull until the nearer the next release. Global Jam, &c. | 20:45 |
| belkinsa | I see. The UOS was last week, maybe it would be cool to hear stories if people have stories. | 20:46 |
| BobJonkman1 | But I'll ask on the list. | 20:46 |
| belkinsa | Thanks. | 20:46 |
| BobJonkman1 | I only listened to SABDFL's talk. | 20:46 |
| BobJonkman1 | Actually viewed most of it on the live stream | 20:46 |
| belkinsa | I think I did more work than the other's in my track. (was a track lead) | 20:47 |
| BobJonkman1 | Aside from the sad news about Ubuntu Edge there really wasn't that much | 20:47 |
| * belkinsa still needs to listen to the keynote(s) | 20:47 | |
| BobJonkman1 | On another topic: I just ran across the renewal session for the Catalan team. | 20:48 |
| BobJonkman1 | The rejection of their renewal is quite upsetting to me | 20:48 |
| belkinsa | I heard about it but I know more, but it stays with me and the other admins of the Ubuntu Ohio Team | 20:49 |
| BobJonkman1 | I hope that the LoCo Council reverses that decision. | 20:49 |
| BobJonkman1 | From reading the IRC logs, it seems like the destruction of a viable LoCo Team merely to follow some ill-conceived and badly applied bureaucratic rule | 20:50 |
| BobJonkman1 | It applies directly to the Canadian Team as well. There is an Ubuntu Quebec Team (provincial) and an Ubuntu Vancouver Team (municipal)> | 20:51 |
| belkinsa | I think not. But it raises the question about the LoCo's of the States. | 20:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | And only last year the LoCo Council was trying to split up Ubuntu-ca into provincial teams. | 20:51 |
| belkinsa | And Canada, I guess. | 20:51 |
| belkinsa | I really think those provincal teams should be really ReLoCo's rather than LoCo's. | 20:52 |
| belkinsa | Or chapters or whatever they are called. | 20:52 |
| BobJonkman1 | In Canada Quebec is considered a distinct culture, with a separate, federally recognized language. | 20:52 |
| BobJonkman1 | Catalan and Catalonia is also a separate, distinct culture with its own language | 20:53 |
| belkinsa | I hate to say this but LoCo's should be country based not language based. They should be chapters or ReLoCo's of that country. | 20:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | It is merely an unfortunate accident of geo-political history that Catalan and Catalonia don't line up with the current international borders | 20:54 |
| belkinsa | I see now. | 20:54 |
| BobJonkman1 | Catalan or Catalonia has about as much in common with Spanish and Spain as any other country | 20:55 |
| BobJonkman1 | It was pointed out that the Palestine Team was approved earlier. That' not a country. | 20:55 |
| belkinsa | But still, I hate to say this I think it should the way that I think it should, ReLoCo's based on language within the LoCo based on country. But it does raise the issue of communication. | 20:56 |
| belkinsa | Really. I think the LoCo's and the LC (sorry guys) need to be rebooted and rethought about. | 20:56 |
| belkinsa | Really?* | 20:57 |
| BobJonkman1 | Already there are cancellations for events that were organized by the Catalan team. | 20:57 |
| belkinsa | Oh dear. that's a shame. | 20:58 |
| BobJonkman1 | Think of what is best for the Ubuntu Community; don't just apply rules without evaluating if they're appropriate | 20:58 |
| belkinsa | +1 | 20:58 |
| BobJonkman1 | Anyway, enough from me. | 20:59 |
| belkinsa | Same, sorry for that! | 20:59 |
| belkinsa | ;) | 20:59 |
| BobJonkman1 | I would be happy to participate in any forum on this topic to make my views known. | 20:59 |
| belkinsa | RIght, duh | 20:59 |
| genii | belkinsa: We actually just had an in-person meeting this Saturday with 4 members attending | 22:15 |
| belkinsa | That's good to hear, genii. | 22:16 |
| belkinsa | In person is always better than online. | 22:16 |
| genii | Especially when there's food :) | 22:16 |
| belkinsa | Indeed. | 22:16 |
