[14:01] good afternoon people of tunisia [14:01] do any of you speak english [14:01] Hey Kilos [14:02] i am from ubuntu south africa and we are trying to link all the ubuntu groups in africa [14:02] Awesome :) [14:02] Nice to meet you [14:03] yeah its nice to meet you as well. :) [14:03] major job with some of the countries though [14:05] this is actually a project i was given because im old and at home all the time hehe [14:06] we are #ubuntu-za [14:07] Can you give us more details about the project? [14:09] 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 [14:10] i have contacts in nairobilug and congo brazzaville so far [14:12] 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] Cool Kilos :) Am sure that the guys from Dz, Eg & Ma will like the idea too.. [14:15] great i might go off now because we have a big storm so power might die but ill be back [14:23] hi there Kilos [14:23] hey elacheche how r u doin === Neo31` is now known as Neo31 [14:25] Hey Neo31 :) [14:25] yo elacheche ssup?

[14:41] +1 [14:41] yep [14:42] 90% of the world doesnt even know what ubuntu is [14:42] and if you talk about linux some say whats that and others say oh the server thing [14:42] I guess that is changing in tunisia, but still need a lot of work [14:43] some people know ubuntu now but many are afraid of change, u know ;) [14:43] lol yeah [14:43] sorry if i dont use emoticons , i never learned to touch type so need to look for each key [14:43] hehe [14:44] 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. [14:45] lol my hands are too old to bend like that [14:45] and my ram is corrupted so i just do things slowly [14:45] u never know ;) unless u try [14:45] but it's really fine anyway, it's no big deal [14:45] i have a few times [14:46] i see [14:46] :) [14:47] anyway Kilos we have always been an active team since 2007 [14:47] 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] great im glad that there is life so far away from us. [14:48] so keep us updated with the progress, and we will help in every way we can [14:48] cool so you are agreeable to linking up? [14:48] whether on irc or by email is good i think [14:48] the question is why not! (we just need to be able to work on seomthing together) [14:49] getting in touch is only the first step right? [14:49] yeah [14:49] btw, elacheche is our official loco contact [14:50] cool [14:50] i have his addy and will mail him soon [14:51] you guys can think about getting wiki pages for starters [14:51] it seems to be the way ubuntu leans [14:52] ? [14:52] what do u mean by wiki pages for starters? [14:53] here is a link to superfly's page. he is applying with me for ubuntu membership [14:53] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/superfly [14:53] he is clever as you will see. i am/was basically a diesel mechanic and farmer [14:54] it seems ubuntu keeps track of all members better if they have their own wiki pages [14:55] like you cant apply for membership without one [14:55] if you saying that we should have wiki pages, yes many of our active members have one [14:55] cool [14:56] yep, you need that to apply for membership [14:56] serious business applying for membership [14:56] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/NewMember [14:57] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Neo31 [14:58] great [14:58] the peeps in congo brazzaville didnt know anything about it [14:59] needs to be updated for 2014 [14:59] we are an approved loco team since 2008 Kilos ;) [14:59] yeah i saw that [14:59] well done [15:00] look at the rest of the groups in africa [15:00] yep [15:00] I did visit some channels on irc before [15:00] only 3 of us still approved [15:01] i think we can all work together on this and get the other groups active again [15:01] some of the teams haven't been approved in the first place [15:01] not yet at least [15:01] well some prefer it that way [15:02] they say what do we get out of it [15:02] experience is the least thing they get [15:02] 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 [15:03] if i don't mention the other stuff like loco packs [15:03] yeah [15:03] we can make use of that, I got a phone personally and tried to get it to as many members i have met [15:04] but it started to break recently [15:04] ouch [15:04] maybe elacheche can get one! we have enough active members in Tunisia [15:05] i mean official ubuntu members [15:05] we have also enough official members ;) [15:05] wonderful [15:06] you guys are doing well then [15:06] we should have linked up long ago [15:06] I though south africa is doing well also [15:07] yes we are but membership dropped a bit with peeps going overseas and so on [15:07] am i right?
