[01:31] <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
[01:31] <BobJonkman1> Two bots! For faster service :)
[01:31] <skellat> Hello BobJonkman1, what may I do for you?
[01:32] <BobJonkman1> Hi skellat! I just needed the LoCo Council mailing address.
[01:32] <skellat> Okay
[01:32] <BobJonkman1> Someone from Sri Lanka contacted the Canadian Team admin through Launchpad to ask about setting up a LoCo there
[01:32] <skellat> Oooh
[01:32] <skellat> Yeah, send them our way
[01:33] <BobJonkman1> So I'll copy LoCo Council on my reply.
[01:33] <skellat> I'm taking a quick look at LTP to see if there is a pre-existing team
[01:33] <skellat> And that's a no on a pre-existing team
[01:33] <BobJonkman1> I think there used to be.  One of our chapter leaders, Aruna, is from Sri Lanka, and he was looking to meet up there earlier this year
[01:34] <skellat> Cool
[01:34] <BobJonkman1> Aruna ended up being an Ubuntu ambassador to Sri Lanka.
[01:34] <skellat> All my quick look means is that there is nothing in the ~locoteams set on LP

[01:35] <skellat> BobJonkman1: Take a look at this: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-lk
[01:35] <BobJonkman1> Yes, that was what I was thinking of
[01:36] <skellat> When you copy us on the reply, mention that that team exists but isn't in the ~locoteams group which is why the Portal doesn't show it
[01:36] <BobJonkman1> OK
[01:36] <skellat> Any of the 6 of us can approve adding them to ~locoteams *if they request it* in very short order
[06:55] <dholbach> good morning
[07:28] <PotatoGim> dholbach: Hi!
[07:29] <dholbach> hi PotatoGim
[13:40] <wxl> hey all i'm shocked to find out my loco that i just inherited is actually not approved. what do i need to do to make that happen?
[14:03] <dholbach> wxl, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines
[14:29] <wxl> dholbach: my concern is that i'm trying to get a global jam event going and i'd like to have a website set up for that. we can't get hosting unless we're verified and i do not know the history of the team. so i feel like i'm in an infinite loop here.
[14:31] <dholbach> wxl, UGJ is happening in 2 weeks - timing might be a short for getting a web presence up anyway
[14:31] <belkinsa> Does anyone of your LoCo is a member with a blog?
[14:31] <dholbach> I'd recommend to set up a wiki page with all the preliminary details and take it from there, then go on and promote stuff on social networks, mailing lists
[14:31] <belkinsa> wxl, ^^^
[14:32] <wxl> siiiiiiiiiiigh
[14:32] <dholbach> yes, that's an option too, what belkinsa said
[14:32] <wxl> well bkerensa 
[14:32] <wxl> he was the previous team leader
[14:32] <belkinsa> I would suggest to do both, if possible.
[14:32] <wxl> so i'm surprised he didn't move it to approved!
[14:32] <dholbach> he's not on the LoCo Council
[14:32] <dholbach> they do approvals/verifications
[14:33] <wxl> what i mean is take the steps necessary to get it approved
[14:33] <dholbach> and I'd suggest to get in touch with them anyway, to establish what has happened in the team before and they should also be able to help with the transition if necessary
[14:33] <belkinsa> But you can help your LoCo to make the steps that get approved, including setting up a jam on the wiki of your LoCo, mailing list, blog, ect.
[14:33] <dholbach> I can understand that you'd like to have a hosted website for the team and everything
[14:34] <wxl> k
[14:34] <dholbach> I'd just try to unblock your initiative from this and put the content somewhere else for now
[14:34] <belkinsa> and dholbach types faster than I do.  ;)
[14:34] <dholbach> belkinsa, sorry :-P
[14:34] <dholbach> I'll type slower the next time ;-)
[14:34] <belkinsa> It's cool, that's IRC is for.  ;)
[14:35] <wxl> thanks guys i'll see what i can figure out
[14:36] <belkinsa> Not a problem.  good luck!
[14:37] <dholbach> rock on!
[14:43] <mhall119> wxl: use loco.ubuntu.com also, you can put team details (links to mailing lists and stuff) and info about your global jam event
