[09:15] <Kilos> while you tunisians were still sleeping
[09:15] <Kilos> hehe
[09:17] <elacheche> :(
[09:17] <Kilos> only 4 to go w00t
[09:17] <Kilos> and you didnt fix wiki
[09:17] <Kilos> shame on you
[09:18]  * Kilos hides
[09:20]  * elacheche hides as well x)
[09:20] <Kilos> lol
[09:21] <elacheche> I really didn't had free time to touch a thing :/
[09:21] <Kilos> np
[09:21] <Kilos> it will wait for you
[09:21] <elacheche> :)
[09:21] <Kilos> all that moinmoin stuff drove me nuts and still didnt work for me
[09:24] <zxsinclair_> as for Zim joining: note I am not the official LoCo guy, there are others in charge of that
[09:24] <zxsinclair_> but I joined and am in Zim, yes
[09:25] <Kilos> no matter zxsinclair_ im sure you will find and encourage the rest of them
[09:26] <zxsinclair_> Kilos: once they wake up am sure we/they will. Is just a note
[09:26] <Kilos> 2 others joined the mailing list this morning but i dont know from where
[09:28] <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
[09:29] <Kilos> so all in all , things are looking good
[09:45] <zxsinclair_> Kilos: I am happy you got time and energy, think we needed a wakeup call
[09:46] <Kilos> we are glad to have you here. i am the only  one with time. everyone else works
[09:52] <zxsinclair_> Kilos: well my job happens to be online mainly
[09:53] <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
[09:55] <Kilos> if we all spread the word of this iniative, it can only grow
[09:57] <Kilos> i see no loco for zambia, so somehow we need to get in there and help them
[09:58] <Kilos> only this https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu-Zambia/518711324897486
[10:00] <Kilos> Cryterion__  when you have time only. can you please try get them here as well via our fb page i spose
[10:05] <zxsinclair_> are you sure Zambia had a LoCo? in many ways it is a small country
[10:06] <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
[10:07] <Kilos> we are open to all linux users in africa, not just ubuntu
[10:09] <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
[10:10] <Kilos> but he has ubuntu servers he admins
[10:22] <Kilos> hi manulite welcome to ubuntu-africa
[10:22] <Kilos> are you from zim?
[10:24] <manulite> hi Kilos, yes i'm from Zimbabwe, how r u doing?
[10:24] <Kilos> good ty and you?
[10:27] <manulite> not too bad thanks. just seen your email inviting the African loco teams
[10:27] <Kilos> great
[10:28] <manulite> things had become a little bit quiet from this end. this should be a welcome change
[10:29] <Kilos> its actually fun to have contact with others from all over africa
[10:32] <zxsinclair_> manulite: totally agree with you there, we needed a spark
[10:33] <manulite> zxsinclair_: hadn't noticed you are here. how are you doing?
[10:34] <zxsinclair_> manulite: still alive, which in Zim means all OK ;-)
[10:36] <manulite> zxsinclair_: i know man!
[10:39] <zxsinclair_> anyways think it is good with Kilos coming in, we in Zim just not many enough to be vibrant on our own
[10:40] <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
[10:41] <manulite> totally agree, hoping we can get a few more of the guys re-energized
[10:42] <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
[10:44] <Kilos> simbiso and nchasakara are also from zim i think
[10:44] <Kilos> they just havent got to irc yet
[11:51] <zxsinclair_> manulite: I think you have access to website?
[11:54] <Kilos> power cut
[11:55] <Kilos> QA  coffee on
[11:55]  * QA flips the salt-timer
[11:59] <QA> Coffee's ready for Kilos!
[11:59] <Kilos> QA  ty
[11:59] <QA> Only a pleasure Kilos
[12:42] <manulite> have just updated the AfricaTeams wiki page, added you zxsinclair_ as contact too, hope you are cool with that?
[12:42] <Kilos> ty manulite
[12:45] <zxsinclair_> Kilos:no problem with that but have not been/am very active. Happy to help though
[12:46] <Kilos> im thankful for any help i get
[12:46] <Kilos> been a long 6 months since i syarted this
[12:46] <Kilos> started
[12:49] <zxsinclair_> manulite: who is "in charge" of ubuntu.org.zw?

[13:36] <Kilos> hi qwebirc47916
[13:36] <Kilos> welcome to ubuntu-africa

[13:52] <Kilos> hmm...
[13:54] <Kilos> manulite  zxsinclair_ I have a mail from one of your guys that i am replying to. garikai. I hope it doesnt upset him
[13:54] <Kilos> he doesnt seem keen to use irc
[14:04] <manulite> Kilos, just read the email. ubuntu-zw actually has an irc channel. a bunch of us used to hang out in there
[14:05] <Kilos> oh my
[14:05] <Kilos> its all the new social media that changed things
[14:05] <Kilos> well let me try convince him
[14:07] <Kilos> i cannot afford to use fb and twitter all the time
[14:07] <Kilos> 3g data is expensive in za
[14:22] <manulite> not to mention the other distractions that come with that media
