| Kilos | ah thats good you want to code | 07:19 |
| gremble | No. I don't want to code. :P | 07:22 |

| Kilos | keep note because im sure you will chair in the future | 18:44 |
| Kilos | and login | 18:45 |
| nlsthzn | have we started? | 18:45 |
| Kilos | yip nuvolari made it home by 20 past | 18:45 |
| Joe_knock | looks like it was mostly about the LoCo meeting | 18:45 |
| nlsthzn | Maaz, I am Neil Oosthuizen | 18:46 |
| Maaz | nlsthzn: Done | 18:46 |
| nlsthzn | so em... | 18:47 |
| nuvolari | oh hi nlsthzn :> | 18:48 |
| nlsthzn | hey nuvolari , glad you are here :D | 18:48 |
| nuvolari | glad to be here. taking a break from work | 18:48 |
| nuvolari | Joe_knock: yeah, and we need tonight to be about it again :P | 18:49 |
| nlsthzn | awesome, never work to hard | 18:49 |
| Joe_knock | Okay, I've glazed over it. I want to raise the point that I don't see any major incentives of being a LoCo for "Ubuntu". We rather just wing it ourselves as a Linux LoCo. | 18:50 |
| nlsthzn | there is a few things from last time we need to check, is kbmonkey now the team contact, (it needs to be updated on launchpad etc.) and have we booked our date for re-verification... is it set and confirmed etc?! | 18:50 |
| Kilos | ty for coming nuvolari | 18:50 |
| nuvolari | aparently [19:12:23] <maiatoday> Your team is set to expire out of ~locoteams-verified on: 2014-12-18. | 18:50 |
| Kilos | if you are an official loco you get to order free ubuntu dvds Joe_knock | 18:50 |
| nuvolari | [19:12:23] <maiatoday> Our December meeting is expected on 2014-12-16. | 18:50 |
| Joe_knock | Kilos: Those DVDs aren't very useful. Most folks are downloading and sharing the .isos in any case. | 18:51 |
| nuvolari | agreed. and the *only* nice thing is them being branded | 18:52 |
| Joe_knock | I've given like 5 people .isos burnt onto a disk | 18:52 |
| Kilos | yeah but they nice to have and we get lots and can hand them out at parties | 18:52 |
| nlsthzn | nuvolari, but we need to ensure that the council is aware and reviewing our application and have us on the agenda | 18:52 |
| Joe_knock | and they're probably also sending only ubuntu itself, when we really need Lubuntu/Xubuntu | 18:52 |
| Kilos | not everyone has uncapped data | 18:52 |
| * nuvolari doesn't even have broadband | 18:53 | |
| Lionthinker | not sure if anyone has been following the Ubuntu community list recently | 18:53 |
| nuvolari | nope | 18:53 |
| Lionthinker | Jono Bacon wrote something up about rebooting Ubuntu community which caused a storm | 18:53 |
| * nlsthzn follows all, sees all >.> | 18:53 | |
| nuvolari | Maaz: topic Evetnts | 18:53 |
| Maaz | Current Topic: Evetnts | 18:53 |
| Joe_knock | If they can agree to provide a wider range of ubuntu flavours, that might be nice. Ubuntu itself can be bloated for folks with 2GB ram | 18:53 |
| nuvolari | ugh. | 18:53 |
| nuvolari | Maaz: topic Events | 18:53 |
| Maaz | Current Topic: Events | 18:53 |
| Lionthinker | one of the spin of results was Ubuntu Vancouver decided not re-register and simply call themselves Ubuntu Vancouver | 18:54 |
| nlsthzn | Joe_knock, Canonical is responsible for Ubuntu, the derivatives do get resources from them but are there own projects | 18:54 |
| Kilos | with the dvd all you need then is to install xubuntu-desktop | 18:54 |
| nlsthzn | I am not a fan of Randall Ross and some of his ideas | 18:54 |
| Joe_knock | nlsthzn: I understand that, but how much harder can it be to burn Xubuntu onto a disk than Ubuntu? If Ubuntu can't understand the needs of the locals (many of whom are still using XP on their P4s) then ... | 18:55 |
| Kilos | weve been official since 2005 so lets just do it again | 18:56 |
| Lionthinker | I'm confused as to what we talking about? | 18:56 |
| gremble | So the benefit, and only one mentioned so far, to being a LoCo is free DVD's? | 18:56 |
| Kilos | hopefully after ten years theyll drop the need to re-evaluate | 18:56 |
| gremble | That is terribly superficial | 18:56 |
| gremble | It is almost ridiculous that we should be evaluated actually | 18:57 |
| Golynx | so Unity 8 is the memory hog | 18:57 |
| Lionthinker | would Canonical sending dvd's of all the flavours really encourage re-registration | 18:57 |
| nlsthzn | re-verification is about more than this. It shows that we have been commited to the ideals of the ubuntu loco's and we are part of this global "family" | 18:57 |
| Lionthinker | gremble, its not about being evaluated, its about greater organisation that shows greater results | 18:58 |
| Lionthinker | nlsthzn, agreed | 18:58 |
| nlsthzn | as I said last time we don't need to be re-evaluated but getting re-evaluation isn't difficult | 18:58 |
| magespawn | you also get a free copy of the official ubuntu book | 18:58 |
| nuvolari | yeah, the re-verification urges increased participation | 18:58 |
| nlsthzn | please see the link I shared on the mailing list from one of the council members about re-verification | 18:58 |
| Kilos | very lekker book | 18:58 |
| magespawn | i think maia keeps ours | 18:58 |
| nlsthzn | he says if we spent more than three hours on it we spent to long | 18:59 |
| nuvolari | but when the team is too small and if the people don't have the resource-hours, it's troubling | 18:59 |
| nlsthzn | nuvolari, agreed, but that means we are not promoting enough etc... | 18:59 |
| gremble | If we re-evaluate, I suppose it is fine. I will do my part. | 18:59 |
| nlsthzn | spreading the word and getting people involved | 18:59 |
| Lionthinker | nlsthzn, I do that all the time anyway | 19:00 |
| gremble | I want to get the LUG at the University of Pretoria up and running again | 19:00 |
| gremble | It could be a child structure | 19:00 |
| nuvolari | nlsthzn: which is where we need the resource-hours that we don't have much of :P | 19:00 |
| nlsthzn | awesome Lionthinker :)_ | 19:00 |
| Joe_knock | gremble: We are idealists in a world that doesn't need them, don't waste your time doing that | 19:00 |
| Lionthinker | gremble, now that's a great idea. | 19:00 |
| Lionthinker | what Joe_knock , institutions are the one place where cohesive actions around common objectives can be forged | 19:01 |
| nuvolari | some groups hate the idea fo being governed | 19:01 |
| nlsthzn | great thing about this is, if you have an idea run with it and surely others will follow (except if it is a terrible idea then we will just point and laugh :p) | 19:01 |
| nlsthzn | thing is locos are loosely governed by themselves and only need assistance from the council when they face something they can't handle | 19:02 |
| Kilos | nlsthzn: going on that link are we ok then? | 19:02 |
| Lionthinker | I don't ever get where we've been governed | 19:02 |
| nuvolari | maybe we should skip re-evaluation for 1 term? | 19:02 |
| nuvolari | and see how it goes | 19:02 |
| Joe_knock | What is Ubuntus policy for promoting other Linux distros? | 19:03 |
| nuvolari | I doub't everything will fall to pieces | 19:03 |
| nuvolari | *doubt | 19:03 |
| Kilos | no man nlsthzn has spent time already getting us up to date | 19:03 |
| nlsthzn | nothing will change being re-evaluated or not if we don't change what we do and how we do it | 19:03 |
| nuvolari | oh | 19:03 |
| nuvolari | :P | 19:03 |
| nuvolari | then we don't want that wasted | 19:03 |
| nuvolari | can somebody chair the reapproval meeting? please? | 19:04 |
| nlsthzn | I think ppl still misunderstand the concept of being verified and not?! | 19:04 |
| Kilos | nlsthzn: link? | 19:04 |
| inetpro | good evening | 19:04 |
| inetpro | Maaz: I am Gustav H Meyer | 19:04 |
| Maaz | inetpro: Done | 19:04 |
| nlsthzn | one moment uncle Kilos ... I was re-installing ubuntu so that is why I was late... :p | 19:04 |
| Kilos | hi inetpro | 19:04 |
| Lionthinker | In my understanding its just a health check to see if there are still a collective of people who still abide by the values of Ubuntu and have points of contact and social media sites and organise stuff occasionally | 19:05 |
| nlsthzn | some light reading - http://erielookingproductions.info/ubuntu/2014/11/57-verifying-verification/ | 19:05 |
| gremble | Joe_knock: I was going to do it anyway, whether the world wanted me to or not | 19:05 |
| Kilos | no man | 19:05 |
| Kilos | the link to our page | 19:05 |
| nlsthzn | oh :p | 19:05 |
| nlsthzn | one moment :D | 19:05 |
| nlsthzn | oh and I did very little on the page, I think kbmonkey did most (I may be mistaken, could have been maya or someone else) | 19:06 |
| Kilos | so what else is needed? | 19:06 |
| nlsthzn | the ubuntu wiki is so SLOW! | 19:06 |
| nlsthzn | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/ReVerificationApplication2014 | 19:07 |
| Joe_knock | alright, so we get approval, but can we ask them for just one more freebee? | 19:07 |
| nlsthzn | we could use some more testimonials and also we need the team contact to pitch up and speak on our behalf | 19:07 |
| nlsthzn | you are not going to get xubuntu discs from Canonical Joe_knock :p | 19:08 |
| Kilos | ill see if the monkey will be availble | 19:08 |
| inetpro | nlsthzn: thanks for your efforts | 19:08 |
| * inetpro supports nlsthzn all the way | 19:08 | |
| inetpro | we need more guys like him here | 19:08 |
| nlsthzn | no that would be a disaster! | 19:08 |
| Lionthinker | not sure what pitching up at the meeting means, but I'll help out if needed | 19:08 |
| inetpro | haha | 19:09 |
| nlsthzn | last time we had about 15 of us in the meeting... | 19:09 |
| Kilos | mainly support, moral and otherwise | 19:09 |
| nlsthzn | was awesome :D | 19:09 |
| nlsthzn | the council couldn't get a sentance in edge wise :p | 19:09 |
| Lionthinker | sounds like a party | 19:09 |
| nlsthzn | was :) | 19:09 |
| Lionthinker | why wouldn | 19:09 |
| Joe_knock | If this isn't too expensive: http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/jumpstart-training It would be nice if they gave us an Orange Box | 19:09 |
| nlsthzn | + | 19:09 |
| nlsthzn | +1 | 19:09 |
| Lionthinker | why wouldn't we want to be evaluated then "sarcasm" | 19:10 |
| Lionthinker | Joe_knock, agreed, I'll keep it for all of us | 19:10 |
| nlsthzn | the orange box is seriously sexy | 19:10 |
| Joe_knock | Then I would donate my time to show the power of Ubuntu and OpenStack | 19:11 |
| nlsthzn | I believe our biggest concern is ensuring we have a team contact available and confirmed and that we have a date confirmed | 19:11 |
| nuvolari | nice work on the reapproval wiki! I need to add my testimonial | 19:11 |
| nlsthzn | +1 nuvolari | 19:11 |
| inetpro | nlsthzn: now you just need to become a real Ubuntu member | 19:12 |
| nlsthzn | I am an ubuntu member >.> | 19:12 |
| Joe_knock | aah crap, the orange box is 8000 pounds. Okay nevermind, free disks it is. | 19:12 |
| inetpro | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntumembers | 19:12 |
| nlsthzn | that is a lot of pounds | 19:12 |
| nlsthzn | search for not_found ;) | 19:12 |
| nlsthzn | I have been a member for about two years now I think (I am a moderator on ubuntuforums.org) | 19:13 |
| Lionthinker | aren't there requirements to become a member? | 19:13 |
| inetpro | nlsthzn: do you have a @ubuntu.com email alias that forwards to your real email address? | 19:13 |
| nlsthzn | yup | 19:13 |
| nlsthzn | not sure it is still working however :0p | 19:13 |
| inetpro | oh cool | 19:13 |
| Lionthinker | nlsthzn, do you get that by being a member? | 19:13 |
| nlsthzn | there is a few perks for being a member yes | 19:13 |
| Lionthinker | nlsthzn, such as? | 19:14 |
| nuvolari | :-/ I'm not a member | 19:14 |
| inetpro | you even have a certificate signed by sabdfl? | 19:14 |
| Joe_knock | Okay so we just need someone to be the main presenter on 16 December (which is a public holiday) | 19:14 |
| nlsthzn | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership#Benefits_of_Membership | 19:14 |
| nlsthzn | nuvolari, I was wondering about that today... I am sure there are several people here on IRC that should qualify for all there hard work | 19:15 |
| Kilos | i dont see me there | 19:15 |
| === gremble is now known as Guest82937 | ||
| Kilos | hi captine | 19:15 |
| captine | eve all. | 19:15 |
| captine | sorry i am so late. | 19:15 |
| Lionthinker | Perhaps we should turn this around, instead of arguing about verification, perhaps we should all look at becoming Ubuntu members and in that way perhaps broaden our own local community | 19:15 |
| nlsthzn | inetpro, I never received my certificate... this countries postal system makes SA look world class | 19:15 |
| Kilos | you want to identify yourself with maaz | 19:15 |
| Kilos | haha our postal system has been on strike for 4 months | 19:16 |
| captine | how do i do that again? | 19:16 |
| Joe_knock | Perhaps shuttleworth should've donated that $50 million to an alternate postal service | 19:16 |
| Kilos | maa I am name | 19:17 |
| Lionthinker | and I ordered sev eral books days before they started! | 19:17 |
| superfly | Maaz: I am Raoul Snyman | 19:17 |
| Maaz | superfly: Alrighty | 19:17 |
| Kilos | maaz | 19:17 |
| captine | Maaz, I am Bradley Putzier | 19:17 |
| Maaz | captine: Okay | 19:17 |
| nlsthzn | +1 Lionthinker , I am sure that there is people here that could qualify for membership | 19:17 |
| superfly | (now that my IRC client has finally logged in) | 19:17 |
| nlsthzn | *are people >.< | 19:17 |
| Kilos | wb superfly | 19:17 |
| captine | what's required for membership? | 19:17 |
| nlsthzn | \o/ so many people ! Hi all :) | 19:17 |
| nlsthzn | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership there are different routes to membership | 19:18 |
| nuvolari | welcome captine, superfly :D | 19:18 |
| nlsthzn | some get it via IRC, some like me via forum participation | 19:18 |
| nlsthzn | others by being maintainers or devs etc | 19:18 |
| captine | thanks nuvolari | 19:18 |
| nlsthzn | some for work in the community ... different paths with different criteria | 19:18 |
| Kilos | ill need help doing that | 19:19 |
| Joe_knock | Kilos should be a member for IRC participation | 19:20 |
| nlsthzn | Joe_knock, you read my mind | 19:20 |
| nlsthzn | staph it! | 19:20 |
| nlsthzn | :p | 19:20 |
| * nlsthzn sees it is almost 23:30 in sand land... | 19:22 | |
| Kilos | eish | 19:22 |
| nlsthzn | could we action someone to ensure we have a team contact and date? | 19:22 |
| Kilos | ill follow up on the monkey | 19:23 |
| Kilos | and keep you all informed on his availability' | 19:23 |
| Kilos | didnt maia say she would stay as contact too | 19:24 |
| nlsthzn | if he is contact this needs to be communicated to the council so they can add him to the correct launchpad teams etc also | 19:24 |
| Joe_knock | Let's do these 2 things. 1) Find a representative, 2) Find this person by 30 November, else someone else must step in | 19:24 |
| Kilos | the contact person has to have some time to do the customs route and be able to mail dvds to the different areas | 19:25 |
| nlsthzn | well lets give kbmonkey a chance to get in touch, sometimes life gets hectic | 19:25 |
| Lionthinker | someone should contact him anyway | 19:26 |
| Kilos | i will | 19:26 |
| nlsthzn | cool, here we can see who has worked on the document - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/ReVerificationApplication2014?action=info | 19:26 |
| nuvolari | oh come on! saving the wiki takes forever | 19:26 |
| Kilos | nuvolari: you still here? | 19:26 |
| Kilos | ah | 19:26 |
| nlsthzn | ubuntu wiki is slower than mud | 19:26 |
| Joe_knock | Okay well it doesn't matter about mailing the disks, as they will only get delivered in 2016 ;) | 19:27 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:27 |
| * nlsthzn is still waiting for 13.04 to arrive :'( | 19:27 | |
| nuvolari | Maaz: agreed verify team contact for reapproval meeting | 19:27 |
| Maaz | Agreed: verify team contact for reapproval meeting | 19:27 |
| Kilos | they get fetched at customs | 19:27 |
| nuvolari | uhm, I think the wiki is borked | 19:27 |
| nlsthzn | try again later... it happens nuvolari | 19:28 |
| Kilos | who maintains the wiki? | 19:28 |
| nlsthzn | Canonical | 19:28 |
| Kilos | complain nlsthzn | 19:28 |
| nlsthzn | lol | 19:28 |
| nuvolari | nice. conflict | 19:28 |
| nlsthzn | could be because more than one person was fiddling on it | 19:28 |
| nlsthzn | just try not to delete everything :p | 19:29 |
| nlsthzn | guys I am out, I get up in less than 6 hours and I have a pregnant belly to rub ;) | 19:29 |
