[06:48] <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
[06:50] <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
[06:51] <Kilos> s/their/there
[07:30] <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
[07:31] <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
[07:32] <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
[07:35] <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
[07:37] <rww> for the loco council?
[07:37] <Kilos> yeah
[07:38] <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 :)
[07:39] <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 :)
[07:40] <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
[07:41] <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
[07:42] <Kilos> i started hunting for them on irc
[07:43] <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.
[07:45] <Kilos> cameroon congo egypt mauritius moroco tunisia and got a mail from ethiopia this morning saying they are interested and want more info please
[07:46] <Kilos> mauritius has also joined the irc channel
[07:47] <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.
[07:48] <Kilos> ty ill mail asap
[07:49] <Kilos> thanks so much for the help
[07:50] <nhaines> No, thank you.  It sounds like a great idea to encourage hard working members of the community and help everyone be their best.  :)
[07:51] <Kilos> not being a techi has been hard for me to be able to contribute so i hope this helps
[07:52] <nhaines> Don't worry--my Ubuntu membership was granted for advocacy, not programming.  We welcome all such contributions, techy or not!
[07:53] <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
[07:56] <rww> nhaines: thanks :)
[08:14] <Kilos> rww  thank you we are getting somewhere now
