=== rudgan2 is now known as toddcnb [06:25] good morning [20:41] Hi belkinsa: Just saw your request from *days* ago: [20:41] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/06/10/%23ubuntu-locoteams.html#t20:58 [20:42] belkinsa: There is no Ubuntu-ca team meeting scheduled, neither for IRC nor VideoChat [20:42] I know and I figured, but when is the next one? [20:43] I'll poll the mailing list, see if there's sufficient interest. [20:43] Last few meetings it's been mostly me talking to myself. [20:43] Not much point in that, I already know what I'm going to say... [20:43] Alright, thanks. Ah, I see and I understand. I almost had that happen to me in the UOS. [20:44] I guess meetings should be from time to time if you can't hold monthly ones and you have no major projects. [20:44] 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 [20:45] Indeed. [20:45] That's right. Usually our meetings are just announcements of Ubuntu events, or local events [20:45] So there may be a lull until the nearer the next release. Global Jam, &c. [20:46] I see. The UOS was last week, maybe it would be cool to hear stories if people have stories. [20:46] But I'll ask on the list. [20:46] Thanks. [20:46] I only listened to SABDFL's talk. [20:46] Actually viewed most of it on the live stream [20:47] I think I did more work than the other's in my track. (was a track lead) [20:47] 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) [20:48] On another topic: I just ran across the renewal session for the Catalan team. [20:48] The rejection of their renewal is quite upsetting to me [20:49] I heard about it but I know more, but it stays with me and the other admins of the Ubuntu Ohio Team [20:49] I hope that the LoCo Council reverses that decision. [20:50] 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 [20:51] It applies directly to the Canadian Team as well. There is an Ubuntu Quebec Team (provincial) and an Ubuntu Vancouver Team (municipal)> [20:51] I think not. But it raises the question about the LoCo's of the States. [20:51] And only last year the LoCo Council was trying to split up Ubuntu-ca into provincial teams. [20:51] And Canada, I guess. [20:52] I really think those provincal teams should be really ReLoCo's rather than LoCo's. [20:52] Or chapters or whatever they are called. [20:52] In Canada Quebec is considered a distinct culture, with a separate, federally recognized language. [20:53] Catalan and Catalonia is also a separate, distinct culture with its own language [20:53] 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. [20:54] 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] I see now. [20:55] Catalan or Catalonia has about as much in common with Spanish and Spain as any other country [20:55] It was pointed out that the Palestine Team was approved earlier. That' not a country. [20:56] 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] Really. I think the LoCo's and the LC (sorry guys) need to be rebooted and rethought about. [20:57] Really?* [20:57] Already there are cancellations for events that were organized by the Catalan team. [20:58] Oh dear. that's a shame. [20:58] Think of what is best for the Ubuntu Community; don't just apply rules without evaluating if they're appropriate [20:58] +1 [20:59] Anyway, enough from me. [20:59] Same, sorry for that! [20:59] ;) [20:59] I would be happy to participate in any forum on this topic to make my views known. [20:59] RIght, duh [22:15] belkinsa: We actually just had an in-person meeting this Saturday with 4 members attending [22:16] That's good to hear, genii. [22:16] In person is always better than online. [22:16] Especially when there's food :) [22:16] Indeed.
