| elfy | yep - sent mail to the LoCo Council - had no reply from them re that | 18:09 |
| howefield | so we move with the proposal then ? | 18:09 |
| elfy | around a month or so back - but of course the discussions goes back much further - just got put on back burner | 18:09 |
| elfy | I'm +1 to that | 18:09 |
| bapoumba | +1 here | 18:10 |
| s-fox | Perhaps they need reminding? | 18:10 |
| coffeecat | +1 | 18:10 |
| elfy | we can do that s-fox | 18:10 |
| howefield | as far as I am aware, not so much as an acknowledgment of email, would that be right ? | 18:10 |
| elfy | nothing howefield | 18:10 |
| s-fox | I think 1 week is reasonable. I would request that they acknowledge receipt | 18:11 |
| elfy | though as I said, it's not actually anything new though | 18:11 |
| bapoumba | I'm fairly confident another reminder wont bring in any response | 18:11 |
| howefield | that kind says it all to me, but I'm not against a reminder | 18:11 |
| s-fox | Do any of us come across the loco council on irc on a day to day basis? | 18:12 |
| bapoumba | Yeah howefield, neither am I | 18:12 |
| elfy | not often s-fox | 18:12 |
| howefield | not me, to be fair. | 18:12 |
| s-fox | Or hang around where they linger? :D | 18:12 |
| elfy | I do that ;) | 18:12 |
| elfy | at least 3 of them that I know of | 18:12 |
| s-fox | Collar them on IRC then? | 18:12 |
| elfy | I can do that | 18:13 |
| elfy | suggest we #vote now though | 18:13 |
| bapoumba | I'd be surprised they do not read their emails.. | 18:13 |
| s-fox | Brilliant | 18:13 |
| s-fox | +1 on voting. i would press ahead if we hear nothing anyway. | 18:13 |
| s-fox | it can always be undone at a later date | 18:13 |
| elfy | #action Elfy to catch up with someone from LoCo Council re forum archiving | 18:13 |
| meetingology | ACTION: Elfy to catch up with someone from LoCo Council re forum archiving | 18:13 |
| Iowan | same here | 18:13 |
| howefield | thanks elfy | 18:14 |
| howefield | done with that, moving on ? | 18:15 |
| elfy | I would suggest though that prior to actually doing the deed we double check there's no movement | 18:15 |

| coffeecat | Is it apropos to mention Brazil at this time? After setting it up for them they might as well use it. | 18:17 |
| elfy | one thread - no revisit from the one asking us to set it up since that I saw | 18:19 |
| howefield | yes, the Brazil forum is open, isn't it ? | 18:19 |
| elfy | afaik it is yes | 18:19 |
| howefield | yeah, on epost | 18:20 |
| elfy | coffeecat: good that people are still asking us to open things | 18:21 |
| howefield | yes it is elfy, should we promote it a bit more ? | 18:21 |
| s-fox | We should post on planet ubuntu more often | 18:22 |
| howefield | +1 | 18:22 |
| elfy | well - supposedly the idea was for LoCo's to use Discourse - but I don't got there enough to see what's happening | 18:22 |
| elfy | s-fox: them with syndicated blogs at least :) | 18:22 |
| bapoumba | Post on Planet Ubuntu, yeah, but that needs to be interesting stuff.. | 18:22 |
| elfy | nothing at all to stop us mailing uwn | 18:23 |
| s-fox | I haven't been on discourse for sometime. no idea what is happening there, or to be honest i have no real interest either. | 18:23 |
| howefield | +1 elfy | 18:23 |
| s-fox | thats true elfy | 18:23 |
| elfy | hey PabloRubianes - quick one - did the LoCo council discuss the mail the FC sent them re sub-forums at all? | 18:23 |
| elfy | and mailing UWN is easy :) | 18:24 |
| bapoumba | UWN +1 | 18:24 |
| elfy | we did at one point start to look at sending stats - but that's not as easy to do as it is for AU | 18:24 |
| elfy | but talking to community via that is \o/ imo | 18:25 |
| bapoumba | yep | 18:25 |
| s-fox | Whatever happened to the tutorial of the week? Wasn't that something to do with you bapoumba ? | 18:27 |
| elfy | so - we could UWN what we've done on the forum in the last month's this week then? | 18:27 |
| bapoumba | Tutorial of the Week needs a lot of time | 18:28 |
| bapoumba | I do not have that right now | 18:28 |
| howefield | @elfy yep, who's taking the action, :) I don't mind | 18:28 |
| meetingology | howefield: Error: "elfy" is not a valid command. | 18:28 |
| elfy | and is in fact not valid at all ... | 18:28 |
| howefield | elfy yep, who's taking the action, ( I don't mind) | 18:28 |
| s-fox | What if it was revived, but by someone with the time | 18:29 |
| bapoumba | +1 from me s-fox | 18:29 |
| elfy | howefield: don't mind - maybe action you and I for it | 18:29 |
| howefield | are you volunteering s-fox ? | 18:29 |
| s-fox | Possibly. I'm tossing ideas out for what to post. you said things need to be interesting :) | 18:30 |
| elfy | we could ask rest of moderation team | 18:30 |
| bapoumba | (I took over after K.Mandla left) | 18:30 |
| howefield | #action howefield & elfy to contact UWN with forum news. | 18:30 |
| meetingology | ACTION: howefield & elfy to contact UWN with forum news. | 18:30 |
| bapoumba | There also was that interview thingy that started out with forums people and grew to the general community | 18:31 |
| elfy | I'd suggest talking it over with mods - then we could possibly have more than one person looking at that | 18:31 |
| howefield | seems to be a large undertaking and requiring skill | 18:31 |
| howefield | I'll second that elfy | 18:32 |
| bapoumba | howefield, not really, more communication, writing skills | 18:32 |
| s-fox | i was doing the community interviews for a while. i asked a whole bunch of people, they said yes and then nothing more. i felt awkward and kinda nagging | 18:32 |
| s-fox | wasn't my scene :/ | 18:32 |
| bapoumba | Picking up a tutorial from the whole bunch gets to be difficult after a while | 18:32 |
| bapoumba | after all the obvious good ones are picked | 18:33 |
| elfy | make it monthly | 18:33 |
| bapoumba | takes a lot of time reading | 18:33 |
| bapoumba | I had started a list, but never got to at least 5 to 10 to start with (and have several weeks/month material) | 18:34 |
| bapoumba | K.Mandla had a unique skill doing it | 18:34 |
| elfy | yep - I remember | 18:35 |
| bapoumba | and a unique way writing about them | 18:35 |
| howefield | worth a forum thread to talk it through with the staff/members | 18:35 |
| bapoumba | He was a journalist in another life, cannot beat that :) | 18:35 |
| s-fox | +1 howefield | 18:36 |
| elfy | howefield: yea - action that to FC | 18:36 |
| bapoumba | +1, I'd be happy to contribute from time to time, but not lead | 18:36 |
| elfy | bapoumba: I think it would be best as a team effort anyway - different strengths | 18:37 |
| s-fox | Does it need a formal leader? Couldn't it just be a team effort? | 18:37 |
| bapoumba | elfy, such project usually ends up a one person thing .. | 18:37 |
| howefield | #action FC to start discourse with staff/members to revive Tutorial of the Week. | 18:37 |
| meetingology | ACTION: FC to start discourse with staff/members to revive Tutorial of the Week. | 18:37 |
| elfy | bapoumba: possibly - we'd just need to make it not so somehow :) | 18:38 |
| bapoumba | Yeah, at least to suggest tutorials that meet the requirements | 18:39 |
| elfy | right | 18:39 |
| elfy | ok - so moving on? | 18:41 |
| howefield | ok, Recap on recent changes.. | 18:41 |
| howefield | what else do we have | 18:41 |
| elfy | just that it was a general tidy up of sections and tightening up of a few things | 18:42 |
| howefield | no complaints so far :) | 18:43 |
| elfy | not that I'm aware of no :) | 18:44 |
| s-fox | i like the new layout | 18:44 |
| elfy | good ;) | 18:44 |
| howefield | we spoke last month about the successful completion of the forum moves, is there anything further to add ? | 18:44 |
| howefield | +1 s-fox | 18:45 |
| elfy | not here | 18:45 |
| s-fox | not from me | 18:45 |
| Iowan | nope, just monthly duties | 18:45 |
| bapoumba | I'm good with it, thanks howefield & elfy | 18:45 |
| elfy | and we appear to have done AOB unless anyone's got anything else :) | 18:46 |
| howefield | nothing from me :) | 18:46 |
| s-fox | no more | 18:46 |
| howefield | who is up for the team report ? | 18:47 |
| howefield | after elfy did it last I think.. | 18:47 |
| Iowan | I'm probably about due... | 18:47 |
| howefield | ok, thanks Iowan :) | 18:47 |
| s-fox | i'll take whatever is left over | 18:47 |
| s-fox | i am not that fussed :) | 18:48 |
| elfy | #info Elfy is working through those on the forum with Ubuntu Member status - checking who is and isn't | 18:48 |
| elfy | btw :) | 18:48 |
| bapoumba | Oh thanks elfy :) | 18:49 |
| howefield | we mentioned last month about ensuring an agenda is set up for our FC meeting with cariboo doing it for September, anyone want to take the task for Octobers meeting ? | 18:49 |
| bapoumba | I can do that, anywhere the agenda is discussed ? | 18:50 |
| bapoumba | (provided I successfully log in the wiki ..) | 18:50 |
| howefield | your choice bapoumba | 18:50 |
