| CtrlC | Hi there, what happens if a local community is not satisfied with the performance of a loco team? | 08:26 |
| Kilos | morning dholbach | 08:30 |
| Kilos | hi CtrlC | 08:30 |
| dholbach | good morning | 08:30 |
| dholbach | hi Kilos | 08:30 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Hi. | 08:32 |
| Kilos | CtrlC just an idea, have you tried encouraging them to do better? | 08:35 |
| Kilos | or helping them | 08:35 |
| Kilos | always best to try avoid conflict first | 08:37 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Yes but no changes. | 08:37 |
| Kilos | where are you? | 08:37 |
| CtrlC | Yes. I'm not trying to conflict. Just asking to know what happens. | 08:37 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: let's not to mention anybody. Ok? | 08:38 |
| Kilos | many peeps have been busy the last year or so and just dont seem to have time anymore | 08:38 |
| Kilos | im just asking because im am trying to revive all the locos in africa | 08:38 |
| CtrlC | Kilos:I'm not in africa. Asia. | 08:39 |
| Kilos | then hang here till one of the council members gets a break | 08:40 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: OK, Thanks.:) | 08:40 |
| CtrlC | I got disconnected. Anything for me? | 08:53 |
| Kilos | not yet | 08:53 |
| Kilos | ill keep an eye open here for you | 08:53 |
| CtrlC | Thanks.:) | 09:01 |
| Kilos | np | 09:02 |
| CtrlC | Oh god! I don't know what's wrong with my network. | 10:32 |
| CtrlC | Asking again: | 10:32 |
| CtrlC | what happens if a local community is not satisfied with the performance of a loco team? | 10:32 |
| Kilos | hehe | 10:32 |
| Kilos | CtrlC you have to be very patient, some one will answer sooner or later and ill ping you | 10:38 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Thank you. I'm just here. Going no where.:) | 10:39 |
| Kilos | remember some are in other time zones | 10:39 |
| Kilos | some havent woken up yet | 10:39 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Never had any similar question here? | 10:42 |
| Kilos | i have only been here a few months so still leaning myself | 10:43 |
| Kilos | but just looking at the state of things in africa, everyone seems to have faded quiet a bit | 10:44 |
| Kilos | only 8 of the 18 locos are still going | 10:44 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: What happend to the other 10? | 10:45 |
| CtrlC | happened * | 10:46 |
| Kilos | im trying to find them one at a time, but the contact peeps dont even answer their emails | 10:46 |
| Kilos | lol the first contact i made was with nairobilug and from there im slowly finding ubuntu users all over | 10:48 |
| CtrlC | What are you planning to do then? I mean after contacting/finding them? | 10:49 |
| Kilos | i have made an irc channel to get them all together and nag them there | 10:54 |
| Kilos | lol | 10:54 |
| Kilos | #ubuntu-africa | 10:55 |
| Kilos | but everyone is so busy its mostly a quick hello that keeps us in contact | 10:55 |
| Kilos | oh and a wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams | 10:57 |
| CtrlC | Nice. | 10:58 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Now I get what do you mean by "be patient". | 12:06 |
| Kilos | lol | 12:13 |
| Kilos | CtrlC are your loco team ubuntu members? | 12:16 |
| Kilos | i dont know if there is a reprimand clause in the system | 12:17 |
| Kilos | we are all supposed to work together imo | 12:18 |
| Kilos | those that dont want to should move over and make space for those that do | 12:19 |
| CtrlC | I don't know what do you mean by "are your loco team ubuntu members?" I guess that's not a complete sentence? | 12:29 |
| Kilos | oh sorry, i mean official ubuntu members | 12:30 |
| CtrlC | Yes. | 12:30 |
| Kilos | ah then the council can talk to them i think | 12:30 |
| Kilos | most peeps are reasonable | 12:31 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Maybe they should find a way to kinda monitor what this kind of members do. I know it's hard due to different languages. But not impossible. | 12:33 |
| Kilos | becoming an ubuntu member is not easy in the forst place, so they must have been commited to the cause to start with. | 12:34 |
| Kilos | the trick is in finding what changed | 12:34 |
| Kilos | s/forst/first | 12:35 |
| CtrlC | Well all it needs is to other members choose you. And they always choose people like themselves. | 12:35 |
| Kilos | no man | 12:35 |
| CtrlC | Yes! It's what I saw. | 12:36 |
| Kilos | official ubuntu members get in by showing some contribution to ubuntu on the whole | 12:36 |
| Kilos | you might just have personal hassles there | 12:36 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: So you mean it has nothing to do with other members? | 12:36 |
| Kilos | to become an official ubuntu member you need to appear before the members committee | 12:37 |
| Kilos | members arent voted in by friends locally | 12:38 |
| Kilos | http://askubuntu.com/questions/16403/how-to-get-ubuntu-membership | 12:39 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Look I see people in my local ubuntu member group that didn't contribute anything! They just sometimes show up in ubuntu forum. | 12:41 |
| CtrlC | It's how it works: | 12:41 |
| Kilos | well lets hear what one of the council guys has to say about it | 12:41 |
| Kilos | you will find favouritism in local groups yes , thats human nature | 12:42 |
| CtrlC | You make a page on wiki about yourself and then if other members vote for yes, you'll become one. | 12:42 |
| Kilos | you can always in the meetime join other groups | 12:43 |
| Kilos | in ubuntu-za we have guys in the UAE and the states and the UK as well | 12:44 |
| CtrlC | Yes, but maybe the council should somehow monitor them. You know to at least find out if they're not causing community members to leave the community. | 12:44 |
| Kilos | and some from the rest of africa have joined us too | 12:44 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Didn't know about that! | 12:44 |
| Kilos | one must join where one feels welcome and can get help and help others that need help | 12:46 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: yes and not to make community members leave. :P :D | 12:46 |
| Kilos | yes thats a bad attitude | 12:47 |
| Kilos | if you need help with something to do with ubuntu and most linux pop in at #ubuntu-za and someone will help you | 12:49 |
| Kilos | but also patience is needed , the guys are very busy too | 12:49 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: Thats so kind of you. | 12:54 |
| CtrlC | Tell me more about the members which are not in your country. Are they african or what?:/ | 12:55 |
| Kilos | we welcome and help where we can | 12:55 |
| Kilos | some are in tunisia | 12:55 |
| Kilos | and egypt andcameroon and so on | 12:56 |
| CtrlC | Kilos: I mean maybe they're local but moved to other countries, | 12:56 |
| CtrlC | .* | 12:56 |
| CtrlC | Are they? | 12:56 |
| Kilos | some have moved yes | 12:56 |
| Kilos | others just joined | 12:56 |
| CtrlC | Nice. So whay they didn't join their local group? | 12:57 |
| Kilos | some belond to many things | 12:58 |
| Kilos | we even had some from russia visit for help | 12:58 |
| CtrlC | Oh! | 12:59 |
| Kilos | how are we supposed to promote ubuntu if we just stick in our local community | 12:59 |
