| Kilos | 2 others joined the mailing list this morning but i dont know from where | 09:26 |
| Kilos | we have 3 members of the ubuntu membership board here and i think there will be other peeps from the rest of the world join us for our first meeting | 09:28 |
| Kilos | so all in all , things are looking good | 09:29 |
| zxsinclair_ | Kilos: I am happy you got time and energy, think we needed a wakeup call | 09:45 |

| zxsinclair_ | Kilos: well my job happens to be online mainly | 09:52 |
| Kilos | thats good | 09:53 |
| zxsinclair_ | Kilos: as we chat I am busy configuring a laptop in Zambia | 09:53 |
| Kilos | most ubuntu userslive online | 09:53 |
| Kilos | i like mixing with clever people | 09:53 |
| Kilos | if we all spread the word of this iniative, it can only grow | 09:55 |
| Kilos | i see no loco for zambia, so somehow we need to get in there and help them | 09:57 |
| Kilos | only this https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu-Zambia/518711324897486 | 09:58 |
| Kilos | Cryterion__ when you have time only. can you please try get them here as well via our fb page i spose | 10:00 |
| zxsinclair_ | are you sure Zambia had a LoCo? in many ways it is a small country | 10:05 |
| Kilos | they did not have a loco, but if they can have a fb page then we can help them form a loco once they join us | 10:06 |
| Kilos | we are open to all linux users in africa, not just ubuntu | 10:07 |
| Kilos | i would like them to all use ubuntu of course, but some of the really serious guys perfer arch and things like that | 10:09 |
| Kilos | like stickyboy | 10:09 |
| Kilos | but he has ubuntu servers he admins | 10:10 |
| Kilos | hi manulite welcome to ubuntu-africa | 10:22 |
| Kilos | are you from zim? | 10:22 |
| manulite | hi Kilos, yes i'm from Zimbabwe, how r u doing? | 10:24 |
| Kilos | good ty and you? | 10:24 |
| manulite | not too bad thanks. just seen your email inviting the African loco teams | 10:27 |
| Kilos | great | 10:27 |
| manulite | things had become a little bit quiet from this end. this should be a welcome change | 10:28 |
| Kilos | its actually fun to have contact with others from all over africa | 10:29 |
| zxsinclair_ | manulite: totally agree with you there, we needed a spark | 10:32 |
| manulite | zxsinclair_: hadn't noticed you are here. how are you doing? | 10:33 |
| zxsinclair_ | manulite: still alive, which in Zim means all OK ;-) | 10:34 |
| manulite | zxsinclair_: i know man! | 10:36 |
| zxsinclair_ | anyways think it is good with Kilos coming in, we in Zim just not many enough to be vibrant on our own | 10:39 |
| Kilos | some countries only have one or two ubuntu users, the idea was to give them a home channel where they can get help and make friends | 10:40 |
| manulite | totally agree, hoping we can get a few more of the guys re-energized | 10:41 |
| Kilos | if one of you can update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams i would be thankful | 10:42 |
| Kilos | i marked you as quiet this morning but now things are improving | 10:42 |
| Kilos | simbiso and nchasakara are also from zim i think | 10:44 |
| Kilos | they just havent got to irc yet | 10:44 |
| zxsinclair_ | manulite: I think you have access to website? | 11:51 |
