| * ianorlin is listening to pleia2 having an interview with linux luddites for the second time | 06:11 | |
| nhaines | Ooh, where? | 06:48 |
|---|---|---|
| MajB | Hello folks. I am from the Arizona LoCo. I want to toss out an idea for you from the California Team to think about. My Team Leader has suggested that perhaps we should have a meet and greet some where on the Arizona/California border to discuss possible future cooperation and just to meet face to face. | 19:05 |
| MajB | Most of our members are in the Phoenix area but an over-nighter is not off the table. Any interest from your side? | 19:12 |
| akk | In the bay area, we had trouble getting people to go to events in other parts of the bay area. :) LA people might travel more, though. | 19:30 |
| MajB | Out of curiosity, where are most of your members located? | 19:32 |
| akk | I'm not the person to ask since I've been out of CA a few years (I just lurk here because NM doesn't seem to have a loco). | 19:33 |
| akk | But it might be close to half bay area, half greater LA (just a few outside those two areas). | 19:33 |
| MajB | You didn't see my post on the Ubuntu NM LoCo forum by any chance did you? | 19:34 |
| akk | No ... a web forum? I generally don't do web forums (maybe that's why I think there's no NM loco). | 19:38 |
| MajB | Our Team offered assistance to NM to get them rolling again. So far no takers. | 19:39 |
| akk | I wonder if there's anyone who even saw it. There doesn't seem to be anyone on mailing lists or IRC ... | 19:40 |
| akk | There's a LUG in Santa Fe, but they're disorganized and I'm never sure when/where they're meeting so I haven't managed to get there yet. | 19:40 |
| akk | Presumably there are some in Albuquerque. | 19:40 |
| MajB | The Santa Fe LUG is the only one still active. At least I found no evidence of one in Albuquerque that was holding meeting or other events. | 19:41 |
| MajB | Nothing statewide though. | 19:42 |
| akk | That's too bad, I had the impression ABQ was better about tech events. I seldom make it down there, though (2-hr drive each way). | 19:44 |
| MajB | That was one of the reasons we offered assistance. | 19:46 |
| akk | I'd love to see some kind of statewide Linux/FOSS group that didn't require everyone driving to the same place very often, like a mailing list or IRC. | 19:55 |
| akk | But I'm a lousy organizer. | 19:55 |
| akk | This CA loco used to have a really active IRC channel but it seems like most people have stopped using IRC. | 19:56 |
| MajB | akk: If you have an interest in trying to revive the NM Team visit our IRC channel #ubuntu-us-az or drop us an email at questions@azloco.com | 20:19 |
| MajB | We will try to provide you assistance. | 20:20 |
| akk | Thanks, MajB. I don't think I have enough interest to try to do it singlehandedly, though. | 20:56 |
| MajB | Understand. The offer stands though. | 20:59 |
| ianorlin | yeah that does happen | 21:24 |
| nhaines | MajB: you should really use our mailing list to bring up these ideas. We don't use IRC for that kind of team coordination. | 21:45 |
| nhaines | Our mailing list is ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com | 21:46 |
| MajB | That was why I was asking for a POC. | 21:51 |
| pleia2 | our mailing list is the best POC too :) we are loosely organized so a POC doesn't really decide what we all do, we all work on projects and collaborations as we have time/ability | 21:52 |
| nhaines | Plus, you were given a couple individual email addresses for further questions. But the mailing list is the point of contact for group discussions like this. :) | 21:53 |
| ianorlin | yes mailing list good for group discussion | 21:53 |
