philipballewKilos, yeah. that seems nice.18:37
Kilosjoin the group on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-africa and you should see the mailing list there as well18:38
philipballewKilos, I joined. Do you have any social media profiles yet?18:53
Kiloswhats that?18:53
philipballewTwitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest18:53
Kilosyou mean me persdonally?18:54
inetproKilos: I guess he means for ubuntu-africa18:56
inetprothe answer to that would be no18:56
Kilosi dunno bout them things18:56
philipballewah, Kilos I see18:56
philipballewI can help you start a "campaign" to build a following.18:56
philipballewif you need.18:56
philipballewI think what you need is advertising, marketing, and evangelicalism.18:57
Kilosmost of the peeps here have personal fb and twitter things18:57
philipballewKilos, Perfect.18:57
Kilosif you can market in africa then go for it18:58
philipballewthat way they can follo the accounts about ubuntu africa and always be in the know as well as able to share ubuntu africa to their friends.18:58
Kilosthe idea is to encourage all of the users in africa to be more active in ubuntu18:58
philipballewso if  you can build ideas and ways to get people active in Ubuntu, I can easily tweet about it.18:59
philipballewanother option is a weekly hangout, like the official Ubuntu people do.18:59
ongolaBoyKilos: pong18:59
Kilosi cant do hangsouts it eats data18:59
Kilosohi ongolaBoy18:59
philipballewyou could do something like this where you get on the camera for a short time period18:59
philipballewKilos, I see.19:00
Kilosi wanted to ask you something19:00
philipballewWell there needs to be some way for people to feel like they belong19:00
philipballewask away19:00
Kilosoh ongolaBoy  have you joined the mailing list?19:00
Kilosphilipballew  we are going to have our official launch first meeting here on the 29th19:01
Kilosat our 8.30pm which is 30 mins ago19:01
ongolaBoyKilos: yes19:02
Kilosgreat ty ongolaBoy  then you will be updated for the meeting19:02
Kiloshave you any ideas or matters of interest to add to the agenda19:02
KilosQA  agenda19:02
QAhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams/Meetings/2015072919:02
inetproKilos: maybe a topic about social media?19:03
ongolaBoyKilos: will do tomorrow . right now I'll be offline in less than 10 min ;)19:03
Kiloscool ongolaBoy  ty19:04
philipballewokay, i like that.19:04
philipballewKilos, if you want any ideas feel free to hit me up. I have been a loco leader before19:05
Kiloscool philipballew  look at the agenda and add what you think can help19:07
philipballewwill do Kilos19:08
inetprophilipballew: big question is how do we manage social media in the newly established community and stay on track here19:11
inetpro?19:11
philipballewinetpro, Good question. I think first it is important to get the information to people through tweeting about links of the information. Next it is important to attract people to join the group as well. then you want to advocate and promote the brand the group is about.19:13
philipballewIn order to manage it, do you mean logistically? or what would you say?19:13
inetproso far Kilos has really been the big driver behind this project19:14
philipballewinetpro, yes. and he seems to be doing a good job19:15
philipballewIn all forms of communication, it is important to know that communication is receiver based.19:15
philipballewyou have to know your audience to know the best way to reach them.19:15
inetpromaybe I should not be too concerned about it just yet, but I can just imagine it growing too big too quickly19:16
philipballewtoo big too quickly is only a problem if you do not have enough people to manage the team19:17
inetproI think we need a few key players to be confirmed as leaders in the first meeting in order to manage the project together as a team19:19
Kiloswhew already19:20
* inetpro is not in a hurry19:21
Kilosbasically one needs a leader in each country19:22
Kilosthen the leaders come here19:23
Kilosthen we can all decide19:23
Kilosmaybe later form a cc19:23
Kilosor whatever19:23
inetproKilos: so you want to start with a social media campaign already or only after the meeting19:26
inetpro?19:26
Kilosafter the meeting i think, how do you feel19:27
Kiloslets talk about it at the meeting hey?19:28
Kilosi think the best with control is to lkead by example19:28
Kiloslead19:28
Kilosbecause there could be a few languages used here19:28
Kilosso if we set a good example others will follow19:29
Kilosbut the social media thing is a good idea because thats where everything is going nowadays19:30
Kilosphilipballew  dont forget this will be 18 locos in one place19:37
Kilossame as USATeams19:37
philipballewKilos, exactly. This is a good thing19:40
philipballewthe social media would need a moderator19:40
philipballewprobably several people19:40
philipballewsomeone who knows english and someone who speaks french19:40
Kilosyeah i dont like doing facebook and twitter19:40
philipballewKilos, that is the platforms people use, and that is the way to reach people.19:41
philipballewI am not saying those are the platforms your group will be based on, those are ways to advertise your group19:41
Kilosyeah i know but someone else will have to handle that end of it19:41
Kilosi think we have ubuntu-za on facebook for the south african guys19:42
Kilosthe thing is with facebook and twitter, can you transfer admin?19:43
Kilosor have a few mods19:43
philipballewKilos, just have a few mods who know the password for the accounts19:43
Kilosi think it can work19:45
Kilosadd the social media topic in the agenda19:46
Kilosthen we can discuss it at the meeting and choose peeps hey?19:46
philipballewKilos, yeah. That seems god19:51
CryterionKilo's, you can add and remove admins of groups on fb20:05
Kilosoh20:05
Cryterioncan set open or closed group20:05
Kilosi dont know fb very well. very seldom use it20:05
CryterionI know fb well, don't know all the options though, but am I'm a few groups20:06
