[12:02] <IdleOne> Ubuntu-qc has expired from verified loco teams
[16:09] <azend|vps_> IdleOne: that sucks
[16:50] <BobJonkman1> I wonder if ubuntu-qc will be allowed to renew, since it's not a country-based LoCo
[17:04]  * genii makes more coffee
[17:05] <genii> Yes, me too. If this is the new policy then there's a lot of LoCos that don't match.
[19:51] <azend|vps_> BobJonkman1: was it time well wasted?
[20:29] <BobJonkman1> azend|vps_: Just got back.
[20:29] <BobJonkman1> Wasted time is wasted time...
[20:33] <azend|vps_> It klls me a little bit to waste time
[20:48] <azend|vps_> but we've all got to do it
[20:48] <azend|vps_> what I like is well unused time :D
[20:53] <BobJonkman1> I most resent the time waiting for public transit
[20:53] <BobJonkman1> But better to waste my time waiting for public transit than wasting my time sitting in traffic
[20:55] <willwh_> waiting for public transit is straight hacking time
[20:55] <willwh_> sitting in a car you can't do that
[20:56] <willwh_> I wish public transit were better where I live, but alas, it's not so
[21:00] <genii> From #ubuntu-locoteams: "<cyphermox> hey, the ubuntu-qc team received an expiry notice early this morning; but I don't remember seeing a earlier notice for the renewal or a coming CC meeting for the review, did I miss an email? :)"
[21:00] <genii> Oh, they're in here :)
[21:01] <genii> BobJonkman1: I thought it was odd since earlier you were mentiong if they'd be able to renew or not. Now all the pieces are falling into place
[21:02] <azend|vps_> willwh_: Don't tell me I can't HACK and DRIVE at the same time!
[21:02] <cyphermox> yo ;)
[21:03] <cyphermox> what's this about?
[21:03] <BobJonkman1> willwh_: Riding on Public Transit is useful time (reading, working, sleeping); standing around at the bus station waiting for the bus to show up, not so much. But reading works OK then
[21:03] <cyphermox> genii: I already knew you couldn't renew yourself
[21:03] <BobJonkman1> Hi cyphermox: I've been a little annoyed the last few days that the Catalan Team didn't get its renewal because it's not a country.
[21:04] <BobJonkman1> To be fair, the approval hasn't been denied, just delayed while the LoCo Council figures out what to do.
[21:04] <BobJonkman1> I fear Ubuntu-qc may be in the same situation
[21:05] <cyphermox> I don't know, we did renew before, etc.
[21:05] <cyphermox> things slip through cracks while we're all busy
[21:05] <BobJonkman1> I know. Last year the LoCo Council was trying to split Canada into provincial teams. This year they're saying only countries can have teams
[21:06] <cyphermox> I mean, following that logic there would be just one team for the US :0
[21:06] <cyphermox> Canada != Quebec has been true for a number of years though ;)
[21:06] <cyphermox> I'm a member of both teams
[21:06] <BobJonkman1> Exactly, and that's why LoCo Council is trying to come to terms with their new rules
[21:07] <cyphermox> So I kind of agree and disagree about splitting ubuntu-ca into provincial teams ;D
[21:07] <cyphermox> heh
[21:07] <cyphermox> it's something that will always have to be taken care of on a case by case basis
[21:07] <cyphermox> regardless, I've mailed the LoCo team and Community council
[21:07] <cyphermox> well, both councils
[21:08] <BobJonkman1> Yes, I tried to point out (in #ubuntu-locoteams ) that Quebec in Canada is legally a "Distinct Society" and that equally there is a distinct Catalan society, culture and language
[21:08] <BobJonkman1> I find that there's not enough activity Canada-wide to justify a *requirement* for provincial teams
[21:09] <BobJonkman1> We've had one event in Newfoundland, a little activity in Moncton, NB, most stuff takes place in Quebec and Ontario, and whatever Vancouver does is hidden behind a proprietary Meetup.com wall
[21:10] <BobJonkman1> Not sure whatever happened to Winnipeg
[21:11] <genii> Vancouver is a real mystery
[21:11] <BobJonkman1> I thought LoCoTeams were team contacts from across the globe, mediated by LoCoCouncil...
[21:12] <BobJonkman1> Do I have the wrong structure in my head?
[21:12]  * BobJonkman1 ducks at the phrasing of that last question
[21:13] <genii> If there ends up being some meeting about it in -locoteams or so, please ping me and I'll attend
[21:23] <cyphermox> aye
