[11:53] <ishwon> Hello Kilos :-)
[11:53] <ishwon> Aww. Hello Africa ^^,
[11:53] <Kilos> hi ishwon  welcome to ubuntu-africa
[11:53] <ishwon> Greetings from Ish, from the heart of Indian Ocean, Mauritius.
[11:53] <ishwon> So, how is it going on your side with Ubuntu activities?
[11:54] <ishwon> I tried reviving IRC users here, but nada. It always fails.
[11:54] <Kilos> all good here, we are slowly reviving locos that seemed dead
[11:55] <ishwon> We do have active user groups though. Got a LUGM (Linux User Group of Mauritius), MSCC (Mauritius Software Craftsmanship Community) and MIU (Mauritius Internet Users).
[11:55] <Kilos> you were looking for stuff to use such as flyers and stuff you can print out
[11:55] <ishwon> Then some time back I've put energy in setting up Ubuntu Mauritius :-)
[11:55] <Kilos> yes cyrilb  is here
[11:55] <ishwon> So far, it's going well.
[11:56] <ishwon> Yup. Yup. If I could get some designs that would be awesome.
[11:56] <ishwon> Would save me time working from scratch.
[11:56] <Kilos> well here so far we have got tunisia active with us
[11:56] <ishwon> Ahaa... Yes, met @cyrilb once while he was in Mru.
[11:56] <Kilos> elacheche  was it you that had files that could just be printed for events
[11:57] <Kilos> see I want all of africa here so we can all help each other
[11:57] <ishwon> Sure. Sounds like a great idea :-)
[11:57] <ishwon> Count on my help ;-)
[11:58] <Kilos> you just have to be patient, because guys in IT all have more work than they can handle
[11:58] <Kilos> ty for that
[11:58] <ishwon> I blog about Ubuntu stuffs here => http://hacklog.in/category/linux/ubuntu-linux-mint/
[11:58] <ishwon> Yeah, of course. I know how it is with work and all.
[11:58] <Kilos> if you have contact with any users in other african countries in vite them here
[11:59] <ishwon> Yup. I will.
[11:59] <Kilos> we in the za loco have stuff for events as well , ill ask there who has the links
[12:00] <ishwon> Okay, great. If someone could just share the links via the mailing list, that would be awesome.
[12:00] <ishwon> I might be designing facebook banners during the weekend. I'll share on Github so others could use them too.
[12:01] <Kilos> you are welcome to visit there as well
[12:01] <Kilos> us in za love using irc
[12:01] <Kilos> its how ubuntu was built from the start
[12:01] <Kilos> cool
[12:01] <ishwon> IRC was once popular among IT guys here. Then the culture just vanished.
[12:01] <ishwon> Are you on Twitter?
[12:01] <Kilos> revive them
[12:02] <ishwon> Tried several times, doesn't work.
[12:02] <Kilos> yes but not often @sharpeys
[12:02] <ishwon> Okay
[12:03] <Kilos> we also have @ubuntuza that we use to announce things only
[12:04] <ishwon> Here we got the Linux User Group, a lot of the FOSS activities happen through that group.
[12:04] <ishwon> I just shoot Ubuntu stuffs through ubuntu-mu.
[12:05] <Kilos> yeah man i dont know why we cant all just work together to promote linux
[12:06] <Kilos> if you look at the slexy link in the topic bar you will see how it started
[12:06] <Kilos> neo31 in tunisia has been helpful, might be him with the flyers stuff
[12:07] <Kilos> he normally manages to get here once a day or so , so just be patient
[12:07] <Kilos> hehe
[12:08] <ishwon> no worries ;-)
[12:09] <Kilos> and add this channel to your favourites hey
[12:09] <Kilos> im not hunting again for mu
[12:10] <ishwon> I'm actually more active on mailing lists (typically the MIU ML for Mauritius). So, if anything urgent is needed regarding ubuntu-mu, just drop me an email :-)
[12:10] <ishwon> I'll help in.
