Kilosgood ty melodie and you20:00
melodiewell, it's been hot, I was in the big town for a special tech even, a breakfast where they introduce the non for profit association to people (550 members in tech things)20:01
melodieand came back tired because I went late to sleep and got early and it was very hot this afternoon, it ended with a laarge nap!20:02
melodie:D20:02
stevdokwith mailing list i just send an empty mail to "ubuntu-africa@lists.launchpad.net"20:02

Kilosaslo look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams20:05
stevdokon stand by20:05
melodieKilos other news, is that I have tested then contacted on their forums Italian people who have created a Ubuntu Openbox, with a control center and additional tools in it20:05
melodieso we can exchange ideas about methods and tools20:05
Kilosthat sounds good melodie20:06
melodieand I am now looking for people who code, to help handle the development of a general Openbox Control Center, which should become available for all distributions.20:06
melodieif there are people who code in the #ubuntu-africa community and interested to help make a really easy Openbox branded environment (without the whole Lxde) there are ideas around that which could be interesting.20:07
melodieie: some time ago I discovered a library for graphic user interfaces which allow creating nice GUIs that need less resources than most20:08
melodieso coders might be very interested to know about it : I compiled it in a virtual machine, met with issues, exchanged emails with the dev, who gave me instructions and finally improved his code (the latest version of it).20:09
melodieI know a program which makes use of this library for a GUI20:09
melodieI can show you want it looks like?20:09
