[09:57] <popey> dpm: going to be 5 mins late.
[09:59] <dpm> np
[10:06] <popey> on hangout
[10:13] <dpm> popey, ok, hadn't seen it, coming over now
[13:42] <jcastro> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5omFFeLEXFE
[13:42] <jcastro> solo of the day folks!
[16:13] <dpm> so I wanted to reply to that "Community participation" thread on ubuntu-phone, but I see other community members and popey have already done an awesome job at it :)
[16:13] <popey> aw thanks
[16:14] <dpm> yeah, I like how everyone addressed the point "you don't build a community by handing them freebies"
[16:19] <bkerensa> dpm: the program Oliver (Mozillian, Ubuntu and Debian) contributor pointed out is not handing out freebies
[16:19] <bkerensa> the phones are for core contributors
[16:20] <bkerensa> it would be like giving a phone to jose or someone
[16:21] <bkerensa> I think he is getting at the point that Ubuntu lacks a dogfooding program
[16:21] <bkerensa> for contributors
[16:27] <Lingo__> hi guys I had problem in renew my membership: is there someone who could help me please?
[16:27] <Lingo__> nick/deindre2
[16:31] <popey> hi Lingo__ what's your launchpad id?
[16:31] <Lingo__> flavia.weisghizzi
[16:31] <Lingo__> popey ^^
[16:31] <dpm> bkerensa, gotcha. Sorry, that was an oversimplification on my part, but that was the impression I got from one of the comments on that e-mail, and it seems others in the list too. However, he does have valid points, which have been addressed too. In terms of the dogfooding campaign, as popey points out, we've already been doing it for some core contributors, but not at the scale Mozilla is doing it (which would be awesome if we could), since we
[16:31] <dpm>  don't yet have retail devices, and even if we had, we're still a different company (also on size) than Mozilla Corp. or the Mozilla Foundation
[16:31] <belkinsa> Lingo__, I can help with this too.
[16:32] <popey> belkinsa: could you please? Thanks!
[16:32] <belkinsa> Sure.
[16:32] <Lingo__> belkinsa: hi! I'm flavia (not with my pc, not with my IRC account grrrrrrr) :)
[16:33] <belkinsa> I figured that you were her.
[16:33] <Lingo__> :) i read you're running for UW leadership: I hope you go
[16:33] <belkinsa> Thanks.
[16:33] <Lingo__> You deserve :)
[16:34] <belkinsa> :D
[16:34] <belkinsa> There, I got you back in the Ubuntu Members.
[16:34] <Lingo__> ohhhhh!!!! Thank youuuu
[16:34] <Lingo__> I was so sorry...
[16:34] <belkinsa> Not a problem.
[16:35] <Lingo__> :*
[16:35] <belkinsa> It's cool, we had that same issue with someone else a few days ago.  balloons I think was the one.
[16:35]  * balloons raises hand sheepily
