| philipballew | Kilos, If you need, when you are away with no power I can do English greetings and point people to your site. | 06:21 |
|---|---|---|
| Kilos | wonderful philipballew ty for that | 06:22 |
| philipballew | philipballew, yeah dude. Happy to help out where I cann. | 06:22 |
| philipballew | *can | 06:22 |
| Kilos | i just need to find guys as well that can greet in all the languages as well. like i think rejerson69 doesnt understan english or french | 06:24 |
| Kilos | maybe need to add something to the site for swahili | 06:24 |
| Kilos | great to have you on board philipballew ty so much | 06:29 |
| philipballew | Kilos, how many languages should we support? and I think that the intro/greeting should be in several languages also. | 06:30 |
| philipballew | also maybe setting up tags for people to do like | 06:30 |
| philipballew | !english | 06:30 |
| philipballew | or something like that | 06:30 |
| * philipballew is just throwing ideas out | 06:30 | |
| Kilos | yeah i can work up maybe something in the topic bar as well for different languages | 06:33 |
| philipballew | Kilos, what languages do you think should be official? | 06:34 |
| Kilos | i think the guys that have linked up with us so far can do them. there are a couple on the west upper coast like ethiopia tha have joined but have very little free time to chat here much | 06:35 |
| Kilos | english, french and swahili so far | 06:35 |
| philipballew | Egypt has a nice community as well iirc | 06:36 |
| * philipballew only speaks English and Spanish | 06:36 | |
| Kilos | oh we have a guy here from egypt | 06:36 |
| * pieter2627 would like to point to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Africa | 06:38 | |
| Kilos | here are those that have joined us https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams | 06:38 |
| philipballew | thats a lot pieter2627 | 06:39 |
| philipballew | Kilos, I think a big social media push is also necessary here. | 06:40 |
| Kilos | we are looking in facebook as well but thats not my cup of tea | 06:40 |
| philipballew | Kilos, I think that you running something similar to Ubucon LA is not a bad idea? | 06:40 |
| philipballew | Kilos, I do twitter | 06:40 |
| Kilos | soon we will hit twitter too | 06:40 |
| philipballew | if you need help with twitter I can assist | 06:41 |
| philipballew | but eventually running an Ubucon would be ideal | 06:41 |
| Kilos | just advertise the site and this channel i think | 06:41 |
| philipballew | yes. That is what we need first. | 06:41 |
| philipballew | then branch out | 06:41 |
| Kilos | ill see who can do FB for us and inetpro will do G+ | 06:42 |
| Kilos | philipballew pieter2627 is one of our za member that helped with the site content | 06:43 |
