Kilos | good afternoon people of tunisia | 14:01 |
---|---|---|
Kilos | do any of you speak english | 14:01 |
elacheche | Hey Kilos | 14:01 |
Kilos | i am from ubuntu south africa and we are trying to link all the ubuntu groups in africa | 14:02 |
elacheche | Awesome :) | 14:02 |
elacheche | Nice to meet you | 14:02 |
Kilos | yeah its nice to meet you as well. :) | 14:03 |
Kilos | major job with some of the countries though | 14:03 |
Kilos | this is actually a project i was given because im old and at home all the time hehe | 14:05 |
Kilos | we are #ubuntu-za | 14:06 |
elacheche | Can you give us more details about the project? | 14:07 |
Kilos | well at our last monthly meeting one of the guys said it would be cool to link as many african countries as possible and seeing as everyone else works i got the job | 14:09 |
Kilos | i have contacts in nairobilug and congo brazzaville so far | 14:10 |
Kilos | and thought it would be cool to link the most northerly group with us being the most southerly group then everything in between must just fall into place | 14:12 |
elacheche | Cool Kilos :) Am sure that the guys from Dz, Eg & Ma will like the idea too.. | 14:12 |
Kilos | great i might go off now because we have a big storm so power might die but ill be back | 14:15 |

Neo31 | loooooool thank you elacheche :p | 14:28 |
elacheche | :) | 14:29 |
Neo31 | #ubuntu-dz for algeria team | 14:29 |
Neo31 | elacheche, what's the channel of morroco? | 14:30 |
Kilos | im actually applying for ubuntu membership tomorrow night at our midnight | 14:30 |
Neo31 | cool | 14:30 |
Neo31 | good luck | 14:30 |
Kilos | ty | 14:30 |
Neo31 | i know butterflyoffire from algeria team and oix | 14:31 |
Neo31 | they don't seem to b online right now | 14:31 |
Neo31 | thelinuxer on #ubuntu-eg is also an active member u can count on | 14:31 |
elacheche | #ubuntu-ma | 14:32 |
Neo31 | yep that's it :) | 14:32 |
elacheche | :) | 14:32 |
Neo31 | u remember the name of the ubuntu translation guy there elacheche ? | 14:33 |
elacheche | no idea Neo31 | 14:33 |
Neo31 | daker and waver are active members too (on irc) | 14:34 |
Neo31 | Kilos, keep in touch with us please :) | 14:35 |
Kilos | i will | 14:35 |
Neo31 | and tell us what's the plan after u get in contact with available african teams | 14:35 |
elacheche | +1 Neo31 | 14:36 |
Kilos | actually any ideas on the most effective way to link us all will be appreciated | 14:36 |
Neo31 | this link might also be useful : http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ | 14:36 |
Kilos | most african teams arent even verified any more | 14:36 |
Kilos | and zimbabwe seems to have died completely | 14:37 |
Kilos | excuse me if i seem slow, i really am | 14:37 |
Kilos | here is my wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kilos | 14:38 |
Neo31 | maybe if you explain the objective of getting in contact with all teams we might have good ideas to help | 14:38 |
Kilos | well everywhere in africa ubuntu teams seem to be almost dying out. even by us, we had 2 ubuntu dev guys and they have gone to silicon valley in the states | 14:40 |
Kilos | and others are so busy working and trying to make ends meet they dont have the time of a few years ago | 14:40 |
Kilos | so, if we want to push ubuntu as an alternative to windows we have to get going | 14:41 |
Kilos | right or wrong? | 14:41 |
elacheche | +1 | 14:41 |
Neo31 | yep | 14:41 |
Kilos | 90% of the world doesnt even know what ubuntu is | 14:42 |
Kilos | and if you talk about linux some say whats that and others say oh the server thing | 14:42 |
Neo31 | I guess that is changing in tunisia, but still need a lot of work | 14:42 |
Neo31 | some people know ubuntu now but many are afraid of change, u know ;) | 14:43 |
Kilos | lol yeah | 14:43 |
Kilos | sorry if i dont use emoticons , i never learned to touch type so need to look for each key | 14:43 |
Kilos | hehe | 14:43 |
Neo31 | it's fine Kilos and u can still learn, it will take u no more than two months to get to a good touch typing level. | 14:44 |
Kilos | lol my hands are too old to bend like that | 14:45 |
Kilos | and my ram is corrupted so i just do things slowly | 14:45 |
Neo31 | u never know ;) unless u try | 14:45 |
Neo31 | but it's really fine anyway, it's no big deal | 14:45 |
Kilos | i have a few times | 14:45 |
Neo31 | i see | 14:46 |
Neo31 | :) | 14:46 |
Neo31 | anyway Kilos we have always been an active team since 2007 | 14:47 |
Neo31 | every team have ups and downs, but be assured if you reach to us anytime on our mailing list you will get an answer | 14:47 |
Kilos | great im glad that there is life so far away from us. | 14:47 |
Neo31 | so keep us updated with the progress, and we will help in every way we can | 14:48 |
Kilos | cool so you are agreeable to linking up? | 14:48 |
Kilos | whether on irc or by email is good i think | 14:48 |
Neo31 | the question is why not! (we just need to be able to work on seomthing together) | 14:48 |
Neo31 | getting in touch is only the first step right? | 14:49 |
Kilos | yeah | 14:49 |
Neo31 | btw, elacheche is our official loco contact | 14:49 |
Kilos | cool | 14:50 |
Kilos | i have his addy and will mail him soon | 14:50 |
Kilos | you guys can think about getting wiki pages for starters | 14:51 |
Kilos | it seems to be the way ubuntu leans | 14:51 |
Neo31 | ? | 14:52 |
Neo31 | what do u mean by wiki pages for starters? | 14:52 |
Kilos | here is a link to superfly's page. he is applying with me for ubuntu membership | 14:53 |
Kilos | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/superfly | 14:53 |
Kilos | he is clever as you will see. i am/was basically a diesel mechanic and farmer | 14:53 |
Kilos | it seems ubuntu keeps track of all members better if they have their own wiki pages | 14:54 |
Kilos | like you cant apply for membership without one | 14:55 |
Neo31 | if you saying that we should have wiki pages, yes many of our active members have one | 14:55 |
Kilos | cool | 14:55 |
Neo31 | yep, you need that to apply for membership | 14:56 |
Kilos | serious business applying for membership | 14:56 |
Kilos | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/NewMember | 14:56 |
Neo31 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Neo31 | 14:57 |
Kilos | great | 14:58 |
Kilos | the peeps in congo brazzaville didnt know anything about it | 14:58 |
Neo31 | needs to be updated for 2014 | 14:59 |
Neo31 | we are an approved loco team since 2008 Kilos ;) | 14:59 |
Kilos | yeah i saw that | 14:59 |
Kilos | well done | 14:59 |
Kilos | look at the rest of the groups in africa | 15:00 |
Neo31 | yep | 15:00 |
Neo31 | I did visit some channels on irc before | 15:00 |
Kilos | only 3 of us still approved | 15:00 |
Kilos | i think we can all work together on this and get the other groups active again | 15:01 |
Neo31 | some of the teams haven't been approved in the first place | 15:01 |
Neo31 | not yet at least | 15:01 |
Kilos | well some prefer it that way | 15:01 |
Kilos | they say what do we get out of it | 15:02 |
Neo31 | experience is the least thing they get | 15:02 |
Kilos | we had feedback from the ubuntu council and they said if you have enough members they even send you a ubuntu cellphone to test out | 15:02 |
Neo31 | if i don't mention the other stuff like loco packs | 15:03 |
Kilos | yeah | 15:03 |
Neo31 | we can make use of that, I got a phone personally and tried to get it to as many members i have met | 15:03 |
Neo31 | but it started to break recently | 15:04 |
Kilos | ouch | 15:04 |
Neo31 | maybe elacheche can get one! we have enough active members in Tunisia | 15:04 |
Kilos | i mean official ubuntu members | 15:05 |
Neo31 | we have also enough official members ;) | 15:05 |
Kilos | wonderful | 15:05 |
Kilos | you guys are doing well then | 15:06 |
Kilos | we should have linked up long ago | 15:06 |
Neo31 | I though south africa is doing well also | 15:06 |
Kilos | yes we are but membership dropped a bit with peeps going overseas and so on | 15:07 |
Neo31 | am i right? | 15:07 |
