[06:11] * ianorlin is listening to pleia2 having an interview with linux luddites for the second time [06:48] Ooh, where? [19:05] 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. [19:12] Most of our members are in the Phoenix area but an over-nighter is not off the table. Any interest from your side? [19:30] 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. [19:32] Out of curiosity, where are most of your members located? [19:33] 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] But it might be close to half bay area, half greater LA (just a few outside those two areas). [19:34] You didn't see my post on the Ubuntu NM LoCo forum by any chance did you? [19:38] No ... a web forum? I generally don't do web forums (maybe that's why I think there's no NM loco). [19:39] Our Team offered assistance to NM to get them rolling again. So far no takers. [19:40] I wonder if there's anyone who even saw it. There doesn't seem to be anyone on mailing lists or IRC ... [19:40] 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] Presumably there are some in Albuquerque. [19:41] 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. [19:42] Nothing statewide though. [19:44] 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). [19:46] That was one of the reasons we offered assistance. [19:55] 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] But I'm a lousy organizer. [19:56] This CA loco used to have a really active IRC channel but it seems like most people have stopped using IRC. [20:19] 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 [20:20] We will try to provide you assistance. [20:56] Thanks, MajB. I don't think I have enough interest to try to do it singlehandedly, though. [20:59] Understand. The offer stands though. [21:24] yeah that does happen [21:45] MajB: you should really use our mailing list to bring up these ideas. We don't use IRC for that kind of team coordination. [21:46] Our mailing list is ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com [21:51] That was why I was asking for a POC. [21:52] 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 [21:53] 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] yes mailing list good for group discussion
