[18:09] around a month or so back - but of course the discussions goes back much further - just got put on back burner [18:09] I'm +1 to that [18:10] +1 here [18:10] Perhaps they need reminding? [18:10] +1 [18:10] we can do that s-fox [18:10] as far as I am aware, not so much as an acknowledgment of email, would that be right ? [18:10] nothing howefield [18:11] I think 1 week is reasonable. I would request that they acknowledge receipt [18:11] though as I said, it's not actually anything new though [18:11] I'm fairly confident another reminder wont bring in any response [18:11] that kind says it all to me, but I'm not against a reminder [18:12] Do any of us come across the loco council on irc on a day to day basis? [18:12] Yeah howefield, neither am I [18:12] not often s-fox [18:12] not me, to be fair. [18:12] Or hang around where they linger? :D [18:12] I do that ;) [18:12] at least 3 of them that I know of [18:12] Collar them on IRC then? [18:13] I can do that [18:13] suggest we #vote now though [18:13] I'd be surprised they do not read their emails.. [18:13] Brilliant [18:13] +1 on voting. i would press ahead if we hear nothing anyway. [18:13] it can always be undone at a later date [18:13] #action Elfy to catch up with someone from LoCo Council re forum archiving [18:13] ACTION: Elfy to catch up with someone from LoCo Council re forum archiving [18:13] same here [18:14] thanks elfy [18:15] done with that, moving on ? [18:15] I would suggest though that prior to actually doing the deed we double check there's no movement [18:15] howefield: we can vote in here [18:16] #vote Close and archive inactive LoCo Sub-forums [18:16] Please vote on: Close and archive inactive LoCo Sub-forums [18:16] Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (for private voting, private message me with 'vote +1/-1/+0 #channelname) [18:16] +1 [18:16] +1 received from elfy [18:16] +& [18:16] +1 [18:16] +1 [18:16] +1 received from coffeecat [18:16] +1 received from bapoumba [18:16] +1 [18:16] +1 received from s-fox [18:16] + [18:16] +1 [18:16] +1 [18:16] +1 received from howefield [18:16] +1 received from Iowan [18:16] #endvote [18:16] Voting ended on: Close and archive inactive LoCo Sub-forums [18:16] Votes for:6 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 [18:16] Motion carried [18:17] great, next point [18:17] #topic Recap on recent changes === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | Proposal to close and archive inactive Loco subforums Meeting | Current topic: Recap on recent changes [18:17] Is it apropos to mention Brazil at this time? After setting it up for them they might as well use it. [18:19] one thread - no revisit from the one asking us to set it up since that I saw [18:19] yes, the Brazil forum is open, isn't it ? [18:19] afaik it is yes [18:20] yeah, on epost [18:21] coffeecat: good that people are still asking us to open things [18:21] yes it is elfy, should we promote it a bit more ? [18:22] We should post on planet ubuntu more often [18:22] +1 [18:22] 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] s-fox: them with syndicated blogs at least :) [18:22] Post on Planet Ubuntu, yeah, but that needs to be interesting stuff.. [18:23] nothing at all to stop us mailing uwn [18:23] 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] +1 elfy [18:23] thats true elfy [18:23] hey PabloRubianes - quick one - did the LoCo council discuss the mail the FC sent them re sub-forums at all? [18:24] and mailing UWN is easy :) [18:24] UWN +1 [18:24] we did at one point start to look at sending stats - but that's not as easy to do as it is for AU [18:25] but talking to community via that is \o/ imo [18:25] yep [18:27] Whatever happened to the tutorial of the week? Wasn't that something to do with you bapoumba ? [18:27] so - we could UWN what we've done on the forum in the last month's this week then? [18:28] Tutorial of the Week needs a lot of time [18:28] I do not have that right now [18:28] @elfy yep, who's taking the action, :) I don't mind [18:28] howefield: Error: "elfy" is not a valid command. [18:28] and is in fact not valid at all ... [18:28] elfy yep, who's taking the action, ( I don't mind) [18:29] What if it was revived, but by someone with the time [18:29] +1 from me s-fox [18:29] howefield: don't mind - maybe action you and I for it [18:29] are you volunteering s-fox ? [18:30] Possibly. I'm tossing ideas out for what to post. you said things need to be interesting :) [18:30] we could ask rest of moderation team [18:30] (I took over after K.Mandla left) [18:30] #action howefield & elfy to contact UWN with forum news. [18:30] ACTION: howefield & elfy to contact UWN with forum news. [18:31] There also was that interview thingy that started out with forums people and grew to the general community [18:31] I'd suggest talking it over with mods - then we could possibly have more than one person looking at that [18:31] seems to be a large undertaking and requiring skill [18:32] I'll second that elfy [18:32] howefield, not really, more communication, writing skills [18:32] 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] wasn't my scene :/ [18:32] Picking up a tutorial from the whole bunch gets to be difficult after a while [18:33] after all the obvious good ones are picked [18:33] make it monthly [18:33] takes a lot of time reading [18:34] 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] K.Mandla had a unique skill doing it [18:35] yep - I remember [18:35] and a unique way writing about them [18:35] worth a forum thread to talk it through with the staff/members [18:35] He was a journalist in another life, cannot beat that :) [18:36] +1 howefield [18:36] howefield: yea - action that to FC [18:36] +1, I'd be happy to contribute from time to time, but not lead [18:37] bapoumba: I think it would be best as a team effort anyway - different strengths [18:37] Does it need a formal leader? Couldn't it just be a team effort? [18:37] elfy, such project usually ends up a one person thing .. [18:37] #action FC to start discourse with staff/members to revive Tutorial of the Week. [18:37] ACTION: FC to start discourse with staff/members to revive Tutorial of the Week. [18:38] bapoumba: possibly - we'd just need to make it not so somehow :) [18:39] Yeah, at least to suggest tutorials that meet the requirements [18:39] right [18:41] ok - so moving on? [18:41] ok, Recap on recent changes.. [18:41] what else do we have [18:42] just that it was a general tidy up of sections and tightening up of a few things [18:43] no complaints so far :) [18:44] not that I'm aware of no :) [18:44] i like the new layout [18:44] good ;) [18:44] we spoke last month about the successful completion of the forum moves, is there anything further to add ? [18:45] +1 s-fox [18:45] not here [18:45] not from me [18:45] nope, just monthly duties [18:45] I'm good with it, thanks howefield & elfy [18:46] and we appear to have done AOB unless anyone's got anything else :) [18:46] nothing from me :) [18:46] no more [18:47] who is up for the team report ? [18:47] after elfy did it last I think.. [18:47] I'm probably about due... [18:47] ok, thanks Iowan :) [18:47] i'll take whatever is left over [18:48] i am not that fussed :) [18:48] #info Elfy is working through those on the forum with Ubuntu Member status - checking who is and isn't [18:48] btw :) [18:49] Oh thanks elfy :) [18:49] 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 ? [18:50] I can do that, anywhere the agenda is discussed ? [18:50] (provided I successfully log in the wiki ..) [18:50] your choice bapoumba [18:51] and thanks, -admins is fine I think [18:51] OK [18:51] #action Iowan to produce Team Report [18:51] ACTION: Iowan to produce Team Report [18:52] (login into the wiki was a joke. I takes ages to log me in..) [18:52] #action bapoumba to ensure an (Octobers) FC agenda. [18:52] ACTION: bapoumba to ensure an (Octobers) FC agenda. [18:52] I think we are done, anything else ? [18:52] not here [18:52] Nothing more from me [18:52] not here [18:53] OK here [18:53] nothing here [18:53] endmeeting?
