Kilosthis is actually a project i was given because im old and at home all the time hehe14:05
Kiloswe are #ubuntu-za14:06
elachecheCan you give us more details about the project?14:07
Kiloswell 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 job14:09
Kilosi have contacts in nairobilug and congo brazzaville so far14:10
Kilosand 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 place14:12
elachecheCool Kilos :) Am sure that the guys from Dz, Eg & Ma will like the idea too..14:12
Kilosgreat i might go off now because we have a big storm so power might die but ill be back14:15

elacheche+1 Neo3114:36
Kilosactually any ideas on the most effective way to link us all will be appreciated14:36
Neo31this link might also be useful : http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/14:36
Kilosmost african teams arent even verified any more14:36
Kilosand zimbabwe seems to have died completely14:37
Kilosexcuse me if i seem slow, i really am14:37
Kiloshere is my wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kilos14:38
Neo31maybe if you explain the objective of getting in contact with all teams we might have good ideas to help14:38
Kiloswell 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 states14:40
Kilosand others are so busy working and trying to make ends meet they dont have the time of a few years ago14:40
Kilosso, if we want to push ubuntu as an alternative to windows we have to get going14:41
Kilosright or wrong?14:41
elacheche+114:41
Neo31yep14:41
Kilos90% of the world doesnt even know what ubuntu is14:42
Kilosand if you talk about linux some say whats that and others say oh the server thing14:42
Neo31I guess that is changing in tunisia, but still need a lot of work14:42
Neo31some people know ubuntu now but many are afraid of change, u know ;)14:43
Kiloslol yeah14:43
Kilossorry if i dont use emoticons , i never learned to touch type so need to look for each key14:43
Kiloshehe14:43
Neo31it'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
Kiloslol my hands are too old to bend like that14:45
Kilosand my ram is corrupted so i just do things slowly14:45
Neo31u never know ;) unless u try14:45
Neo31but it's really fine anyway, it's no big deal14:45
Kilosi have a few times14:45
Neo31i see14:46
Neo31:)14:46
Neo31anyway Kilos we have always been an active team since 200714:47
Neo31every team have ups and downs, but be assured if you reach to us anytime on our mailing list you will get an answer14:47
Kilosgreat im glad that there is life so far away from us.14:47
Neo31so keep us updated with the progress, and we will help in every way we can14:48
Kiloscool so you are agreeable to linking up?14:48
Kiloswhether on irc or by email is good i think14:48
Neo31the question is why not! (we just need to be able to work on seomthing together)14:48
Neo31getting in touch is only the first step right?14:49
Kilosyeah14:49
Neo31btw, elacheche is our official loco contact14:49
Kiloscool14:50
Kilosi have his addy and will mail him soon14:50
Kilosyou guys can think about getting wiki pages for starters14:51
Kilosit seems to be the way ubuntu leans14:51
Neo31?14:52
Neo31what do u mean by wiki pages for starters?14:52
Kiloshere is a link to superfly's page. he is applying with me for ubuntu membership14:53
Kiloshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/superfly14:53
Kiloshe is clever as you will see. i am/was basically a diesel mechanic and farmer14:53
Kilosit seems ubuntu keeps track of all members better if they have their own wiki pages14:54
Kiloslike you cant apply for membership without one14:55
Neo31if you saying that we should have wiki pages, yes many of our active members have one14:55
Kiloscool14:55
Neo31yep, you need that to apply for membership14:56
Kilosserious business applying for membership14:56

Neo31yep15:00
Neo31I did visit some channels on irc before15:00
Kilosonly 3 of us still approved15:00
Kilosi think we can all work together on this and get the other groups active again15:01
Neo31some of the teams haven't been approved in the first place15:01
Neo31not yet at least15:01
Kiloswell some prefer it that way15:01
Kilosthey say what do we get out of it15:02
Neo31experience is the least thing they get15:02
Kiloswe had feedback from the ubuntu council and they said if you have enough members they even send you a ubuntu cellphone to test out15:02
Neo31if i don't mention the other stuff like loco packs15:03
Kilosyeah15:03
Neo31we can make use of that, I got a phone personally and tried to get it to as many members i have met15:03
