Kilos | morning all | 06:48 |
---|---|---|
rww | your email looks more like a LoCo council thing than an IRC council thing to me, but i'm Just Some Guy | 06:48 |
Kilos | hi rww thanks for that ill try their as well. im very new at being a ubuntu member and still working out whos who and whats what | 06:50 |
Kilos | ty for your reply | 06:50 |
Kilos | s/their/there | 06:51 |
Mikaela | Kilos: gmail marks your email as spam for some reason "Be careful with this message. Many people marked similar messages as phishing scams, so this might contain unsafe content." | 07:30 |
Mikaela | just in case it interests you | 07:30 |
Kilos | wow ty Mikaela i have no idea why it would do that because im using gamil as well | 07:30 |
Kilos | lol please tell gmail i dont spam | 07:31 |
rww | i expect it's the combination of 1) mailing list 2) discussing Africa, 3) all one paragraph | 07:31 |
Kilos | what could be the cause? | 07:31 |
Kilos | oh | 07:31 |
Mikaela | I was going to press "delete all spam messages", but it looked weirdly maybe not spam and opened it and noticed it was from you. | 07:32 |
Mikaela | I think 3 might have something to do too | 07:32 |
Kilos | ty so much | 07:32 |
Mikaela | you're welcome | 07:32 |
Kilos | i am also trying to find a list for the ubuntu council but there are so many and my project doesnt seem to fit into any of them | 07:35 |
rww | for the loco council? | 07:37 |
Kilos | yeah | 07:37 |
Kilos | i cant even find them on irc | 07:38 |
rww | sec, I'll do you one better | 07:38 |
Kilos | cool | 07:38 |
rww | nhaines: background is https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-irc/2015-February/001815.html | 07:38 |
rww | Kilos: nhaines is on the LoCo Council :) | 07:38 |
Kilos | wonderrwty | 07:39 |
nhaines | rww: thanks! Reading. | 07:39 |
Kilos | hi nhaines | 07:39 |
nhaines | hi Kilos. | 07:39 |
rww | nhaines: IRC Team doesn't really "approve" team channels, so I figure that's something you'd want to talk to him about. If it turns out he has infrastructure needs (e.g. bots), have him poke us :) | 07:39 |
nhaines | rww: fair enough. :) | 07:40 |
Kilos | yes i need the bots please hehe | 07:40 |
nhaines | Kilos: Just for documentation purposes, is there somewhere that the various African LoCos have discussed the idea? | 07:40 |
Kilos | the 8th loco just contacted me this morning via email | 07:40 |
rww | Kilos: for public logging on irclogs.ubuntu.com, email rt@ubuntu.com to have the Canonical folks add ubuntulog | 07:41 |
Kilos | #ubuntu-africa is where we are now | 07:41 |
nhaines | Is that being done directly via private email? | 07:41 |
rww | (i'd do that once LoCo Council is fine with it though) | 07:41 |
Kilos | yes my email | 07:41 |
Kilos | i started hunting for them on irc | 07:42 |
nhaines | There are 18 LoCos, 3 with verified status on the continent of Africa. Which ones have joined in so far? | 07:43 |
Kilos | found tunisia and one of them is helping | 07:43 |
Kilos | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams#preview | 07:43 |
nhaines | Ah, very nice work there. Let me take a closer look. | 07:43 |
Kilos | cameroon congo egypt mauritius moroco tunisia and got a mail from ethiopia this morning saying they are interested and want more info please | 07:45 |
Kilos | mauritius has also joined the irc channel | 07:46 |
Kilos | oh and the nairobilug | 07:47 |
nhaines | Okay, I like what I see. The best place for IRC discussion on this is #ubuntu-locoteams. And I suppose probably the best place to start would be by emailing loco-council@lists.ubuntu.com with a summary of what your goal is, what resources you want to use (IRC, forums, mailing lists, etc.) and just sort of fill the LoCo Council in on your plans. | 07:47 |
Kilos | we have ubuntu members in lugs because there is nowhere else active | 07:47 |
nhaines | I do want the rest of the council to take a look at this, but I very much like the way it seems things are going. | 07:47 |
Kilos | ty ill mail asap | 07:48 |
Kilos | thanks so much for the help | 07:49 |
nhaines | No, thank you. It sounds like a great idea to encourage hard working members of the community and help everyone be their best. :) | 07:50 |
Kilos | not being a techi has been hard for me to be able to contribute so i hope this helps | 07:51 |
nhaines | Don't worry--my Ubuntu membership was granted for advocacy, not programming. We welcome all such contributions, techy or not! | 07:52 |
nhaines | rww: thanks for calling my attention over here. I'll have them contact you once we get a go-ahead. | 07:53 |
Kilos | yay i am lucky to have made great friends in za as one can see by my membership application | 07:53 |
rww | nhaines: thanks :) | 07:56 |
Kilos | rww thank you we are getting somewhere now | 08:14 |
