[15:59] <dholbach> czajkowski, want to join?
[15:59] <czajkowski> I can't ona  team call
[16:00] <czajkowski> watching here
[16:00]  * belkinsa is only watching too
[16:01] <dholbach> hey belkinsa :)
[16:01] <belkinsa> o/
[16:03] <belkinsa_> Which pad are you using?
[16:03] <belkinsa_> This: http://pad.ubuntu.com/uos-1411-loco-team-activity-review?
[16:03] <belkinsa_> http://pad.ubuntu.com/uos-1411-loco-team-activity-review*
[16:03] <dholbach> http://pad.ubuntu.com/uos-1411-loco-team-activity-review
[16:03] <belkinsa_> http://pad.ubuntu.com/uos-1411-loco-team-activity-review
[16:03] <dholbach> haha :)
[16:03] <belkinsa_> Okay.
[16:03] <belkinsa_> Sorry for the spam
[16:03] <dpm> http://pad.ubuntu.com/uos-1411-loco-team-activity-review
[16:06] <belkinsa_> What is the portal written in?
[16:06] <mhall119> python/django
[16:07] <belkinsa_> I may be able to help once I learn Python to a point where do something.
[16:07]  * mhall119 pretty much learned python by working on LTP :)
[16:08] <dholbach> :-)
[16:08] <belkinsa_> mhall119: that would be nice a workshop
[16:11] <belkinsa_> I agree, the portal should act like a another Planet Ubuntu, but I think we could have someone that handpicks some of the posts to place on the homepage of the portal.
[16:13] <belkinsa_> Right, right, good point.
[16:14] <belkinsa_> Agreed for the summarized events from the portal on the Planet Ubuntu.
[16:19] <belkinsa_> Or via the news team for the weekly newsletter?
[16:24] <belkinsa_> Maybe make a blueprint that can act like a wish list for features or do via the mailing list of the LoCo Contacts.  Or have another meeting for the wish list?
[16:26] <dholbach> yep
[16:28] <belkinsa_> I removed it because it was just a question that was answered.
[16:28] <belkinsa_> ;)
[16:28] <mhall119> ;)
[16:30] <mhall119> czajkowski: any comments or ideas?
[16:31] <rickspencer3> so, for the DC loco, we have lots of people who can attend events, but few who can organize
[16:32] <rickspencer3> so, for example, we always want to have release parties, but no one can really pull the event together
[16:32] <rickspencer3> is there any way to help our loco with that kind of thing?
[16:32] <mhall119> rickspencer3: do you want to join the hangout?
[16:32] <rickspencer3> mhall119, let me see if I can find a quiet spot
[16:34] <belkinsa_> Maybe have a walk-through that can to train people to organize events or would that be useless?
[16:35] <mhall119> belkinsa_: I think it would be useful, if there's motivation for people to go through with it
[16:36] <toddcnb> walk thu would be helpful after 5 years I still find new information on things we should be doing
[16:36] <belkinsa_> Right, we could ask on the LoCo contact mailing list to see if anyone wants that.
[16:37] <belkinsa_> Meetup.com is a very useful site, maybe we need that for the portal or do we have that already?
[16:39] <mhall119> we already have that functionality in the portal
[16:39] <belkinsa_> Do you how much people use it?
[16:39] <mhall119> and you can reference an external site like meetup.com for registration
[16:39] <cm-t> hi
[16:40] <mhall119> belkinsa_: a fairly decent amount
[16:40] <cm-t> we at ubuntu-fr try to use the LoCo protail, but people that join our event doesnt know about hte portail, they know mainly about our website
[16:40] <cm-t> so we build our own website dedicaced to events
[16:41] <mhall119> belkinsa_: > 200 events registered for 2014
[16:41] <belkinsa_> Maybe the portal needs to be more promted
[16:41] <mhall119> +1 on that
[16:41] <belkinsa_> mhall119: and how many have like said that they are coming or not coming?
[16:42] <toddcnb> I like the portal but it does seem to be for travelling Ubuntu users vs loco wiki and team websites
[16:42] <mhall119> belkinsa_: I'd have to write a script to find that out, but I can if you thnk the data would be useful
[16:42] <belkinsa_> I think it would to see if we need that if people are more using the Meetup site.
[16:43] <wxl> aw i missed all the fun
[16:43] <dholbach> does anyone of you want to join the hangout?
[16:43] <belkinsa_> But I think getting stats from meetup might be hard to do.
[16:43] <mhall119> wxl: not yet
[16:43] <wxl> mhall119: :)
[16:43] <mhall119> belkinsa_: yeah, I don't know how to get that
[16:43] <toddcnb> can we track team portal veiws for traffic?
[16:43] <mhall119> toddcnb: we have google analytics on it
[16:43] <belkinsa_> toddcnb: what's your idea here to see if it's being used and help LoCos being active?
[16:44] <belkinsa_> I mean that idea could be worth it to do.
[16:45] <toddcnb> yes track which is the best way to attract new and regular users
[16:46] <cm-t> the fisrt thing that loco will do when created, is to exist by having its own website.   so its hard to use the current loco portal, its double the action of the loco
[16:46] <cm-t> loco portal should have more feature that loco website will not have
[16:46] <belkinsa_> toddcnb: I like that idea and see what is not working at the same time
[16:47] <toddcnb> yes as a team leader the time to list events at 15 places is very time consuming
[16:47] <cm-t> +1 ↑
[16:48] <cm-t> at ubuntu-fr we would love, really love a tool that post an event on multi social networks
[16:48] <cm-t> but not enought hand to do this
[16:48] <belkinsa_> +1 for that idea
[16:48] <toddcnb> or find a way to write a single event and feed it many sites
[16:49] <belkinsa_> Or that, yes.
[16:49] <cm-t> yes, but it depend the event, when its for main public, a website like http://ubuntu-paris.org will need some social networks posted everywhere
[16:49] <cm-t> (big events)
[16:49] <wxl> i think we should make release parties a global event on the loco portal
[16:50] <wxl> just like we have with ubuntu hours
[16:50] <mhall119> wxl: we usuallydo
[16:50] <dholbach> cm-t, a beautiful site
[16:50] <cm-t> thanks you (quesh + olive did it if you know them)
[16:50] <dholbach> great work!
[16:50] <dholbach> :-)
[16:50] <cm-t> this website is easy to setup, a wordpress
[16:50] <wxl> i was also a bit surprised that e.g. uds wasn't a global event
[16:51] <belkinsa_> UOS, wxl
[16:51] <belkinsa_> ;)
[16:51] <wxl> belkinsa_: you tell me what summit.ubuntu.com says XD
[16:51] <belkinsa_> Good point, it needs to be updated
[16:52] <belkinsa_> Maybe set deadlines for things having to be done by the LC so things are being moved
[16:52] <belkinsa_> along
[16:53] <cm-t> LoCo council can make hangout with loco team if they think there is a need, I will be present for that
[16:53] <cm-t> outside of uos
[16:54] <dholbach> thanks a lot everyone
[16:54] <dholbach> you'er heroes!
[16:54] <belkinsa_> I think the LC might need to run other non-LoCo vad meetings so things can be done
[16:54] <belkinsa_> Thanks everyone for this session.
[16:54] <cm-t> thanks you all (sorry to be late on the meeting)
[16:54] <toddcnb> http://azloco.org/node/28
[16:56] <toddcnb> thanks all later
[16:56] <wxl> have a good lunch everyone XD
[16:56] <cm-t> events you can see on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrenchTeam/ApprovalApplication cant be loco portal - compatible mostly
[16:56] <cm-t> bb thank you
[16:58] <dpm> belkinsa, dholbach, I need to be on the app dev track for the next session. Do you know if the Ubuntu GNOME and the Oregon LoCo guys are all set to host their own hangouts?
[16:58] <belkinsa> I think the Oregon one maybe IRC only but I will check with walter
[17:01] <belkinsa> Walter is not sure but I think he can host and run it like the last time
[17:01] <belkinsa> I think Ali does too but I need to e-mail him and ask
[17:04] <dpm> cool, thanks belkinsa
[17:05] <dholbach> thanks a bunch belkinsa
[17:06] <belkinsa> ok
[17:07] <belkinsa> e-mail sent ali
[17:07] <belkinsa> walter is doing a hangout and he is hosting
[17:32] <belkinsa> dpm, Ali will make it.
[17:33] <dpm> excellent, thanks belkinsa!
