Kilosinetpro  sorry sir18:46
pieter2627inetpro: what is our current topic?18:46
inetproKilos: you're the boss sir :-)18:47
zxsinclairKilos: sure thing - am not sure if anyone from Zim Loco is here?18:47
inetpropieter2627: we're still on just welcoming... guess we should move on18:47
Kilosnon at meetings the chair wields the hammer18:47
Stevdok_So what the agenda for the day, hope I've not missed that yet18:47
Kiloshi qwebirc48566 welcome18:47
inetproQA: topic Get more Africa Linux users to join us18:48
QACurrent Topic: Get more Africa Linux users to join us18:48
* pieter2627 wonders how we are gonna cramp all the items in 1 hour18:48
veddoxStevdok_: here's the agenda https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams/Meetings/2015072918:48
inetpropieter2627: gonna be tough, I know18:48
Kiloswhew18:48
* Cryterion agrees18:48
Stevdok_Thanks18:48
inetproour agenda might be a bit unstructured as well but we have to start somewhere18:49
Kiloswell guys we stretched a continent, we can stretch our first meeting18:49
raywanSend out invitations to the different lug mailinglists18:49
nasowah_Ok /inetpro good so where do we start from ...18:49
veddoxshall we move on to "Get more Africa Linux users to join us"?18:49
K_K_Nspeaking of getting more Africa Linux users to join how do we do that I know some who use Linux but can never convince them to join these channels?18:49
veddoxthat would be the next point, would it not?18:49
pieter2627the idea of raywan seems good18:50
Kilosohi veddox sorry, didnt see you18:50
raywanI think the problem is exposure,18:50
inetprothe Agenda is pretty much drafted by you guys... I'm not sure who added the above metioned item, Kilos?18:50
mhall119K_K_N: how about mailing lists, or forums?18:50
Kiloshi renemanasse_18:50
Kilosum18:50
renemanasse_hi Kilos18:50
pieter2627veddox: we are already there18:50
veddoxgood :-)18:51
K_K_Nmhall119: hmm.. good idea maybe I will suggest that to them18:51
Kilossomeone used our basic za agenda for a base to work from18:51
inetpromhall119: good point.. we have registerd ourselves at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams18:51
inetprooops... wrong link18:51
Kilosmhall119  we have a mailing list on lp https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-africa18:52
Kilosive never used forums so didnt even think about it18:52
mhall119Kilos: yup, just saw that, some people are more willing to subscribe and participate in email rather than IRC18:52
inetproKilos: thanks18:52
K_K_NI think we should also look at maybe converting some of the Linux users who are not ubuntu users to maybe also start using ubuntu18:52
Kilosnp18:52
mhall119Kilos: you can use either forums.ubuntu.com or discourse.ubuntu.com (which has a LoCo Teams sectio)18:52
veddoxK_K_N: I'm not sure I agree with that18:53
Kiloscool ty mhall11918:53
veddoxpresumably they know why they are not using ubuntu18:53
raywanif we let the different groups know we exist, I think more users will join us18:53
raywanthe first step would be identifying the different groups18:53
KilosK_K_N  the idea here is firstly to make friends with all linux users18:53
raywanhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams is a starting point18:53
inetproQA: idea <mhall119> Kilos: you can use either forums.ubuntu.com or discourse.ubuntu.com (which has a LoCo Teams sectio)18:53
QAIdea recorded: <mhall119> Kilos: you can use either forums.ubuntu.com or discourse.ubuntu.com (which has a LoCo Teams sectio)18:53
Kilosthere are many lugs with ubuntu users in18:53
K_K_Nand also get the people who are using version of other commercial OS which are not so legal since they did not even purchase the software to start using ubuntu, its free and they would then not be breaking an laws18:54
K_K_Nyep I agree Kilos18:54
zxsinclairdoes anyone have any idea of how many companies that actively use any *buntu distro18:54
veddoxK_K_N: that I do agree with :-)18:54
Na3iLwe'll inform Ubuntu african users and LUGs in africa by social media, I think it's the better way to get guys/gals to here.. and as I see we don't have an account/page on social media18:54
zxsinclairin Zim I know that Holiday Inn used to but have no contact info18:54
zxsinclairthinking that if you get companies involved somehow to "spread the word"18:55
CryterionNa3iL https://www.facebook.com/groups/494775420686780/18:55
Na3iLAlso, we can apply the same project as StartUbuntu by converting and migrating users to switch to Ubuntu..18:55
nwci run an internet cafe in harare that is running about 10 ubuntu machines18:55
veddoxA couple of schools in Zambia used/still do/are planning to switch to Ubuntu18:55
Neo31zxsinclair, can you be more specific?18:55
Na3iLCryterion, a group is not what we need18:55
K_K_Nveddox: I did not mean that Linux users should abandon there current Linux distro just maybe start using ubuntu to become familiar and maybe start assisting us newbies when help is needed18:55
Neo31how companies can help ?18:55
zxsinclairNeo31: just thinking aloud that there might be more ppl using in than we know18:56
zxsinclairand could assist to "advertise" their choice of OS18:56
veddoxCryterion: thumbs up for the FB group18:56
munroNeo31 in Zimbabwe, we convinced an ISP to host the local repo and fund launch aprties18:57
Kilosi am sure there are ubuntu users all over the world that know nothing about irc or that there are teams all over18:57
QAKilos: Done18:57
veddoxK_K_N thanks for the clarification18:57
K_K_Nveddox: no problem18:57
Kilosai!18:57
ongolaBoytwitter account too :)18:57
Kilosh0912  welcome to ubuntu-africa18:57
philipballewfor many irc is to technical or geeky for them to know how to or want to run18:57
Na3iLyup twitter and a facebook page moreover a g+18:57
qwebirc56634I am NIAMKE Gustave from Côte d'Ivoire18:57
QAqwebirc56634: Alrighty18:57
h0912thanks18:57
inetproclearly there's lots more we can do to improve visbility and get new users18:58
nwci suggest first strengthening the local teams. the africa team can drive local teams that is the only way we can get more users. locally we can influence our peers18:58
* Kilos agrees18:58
Na3iLBesides, I think we should make LoCo teams in Africa to add in their official wiki page a category of Ubuntu africa..18:58
mhall119translations are a good way to both encourage local participation and make Ubuntu more appealing to local users18:58
veddoxhave we announced the group on the Ubuntu forums?18:58
=== qwebirc56634 is now known as klem__
zabearQA I am Rusty Beukes  South Africa  local18:59
QAzabear: Alrighty18:59
raywanHow about a website that introduces such groups to irc, and the different local teams around them?18:59
h0912QA: i am Thomas POKAM - Cameroun18:59
QAh0912: Alrighty18:59
pieter2627to me it seems that each of us has a medium(facebook, lists, irc, etc) that we are familiar with. Shouldn't each focus on the users within their medium?18:59
zxsinclairnwc: you are on the zwubuntu mailing list?18:59
Kiloshi zabear18:59
inetproshall we move on to the next point... otherwise we might never finish18:59
klem__QA I am Gustave NIAMKE  Ivory Coast  local18:59
QAklem__: Sure18:59
Neo31mhall119, I think we might be lacking more of a great marketing strategies in Africa18:59
* Cryterion agrees with pieter262719:00
Neo31Ubuntu has the right tools (including translation) but we still should work more on marketing in Africa19:00
lafricainhy, I saw a team in DRCongo with René Manassé GALEKWA. someone knows where he stay?19:00
* Na3iL agrees with Neo31 19:00
mhall119Neo31: we've never had "great marketing strategies" anywhere in the world, it's all been loco teams and local enthusiasts19:00
otenhHi guys what have I missed19:00
inetproI think oom Kilos started a great initiative19:00
* inetpro suggests keeping the ball rolling19:00
Kilosmhall119  i agree but this will grow like wild fire now19:00
Benno-007Yesterday I read a book over open souce in schools to the end. In Europe in Switzerland and Austria there is a debian linux stick project for some schools: http://lernstick.educa.ch/de/bezug-anleitungen I think the first link there (4 GB) is with English programs, too. So all pupils have there own system on there own stick for all computers where they can boot them.19:00
K_K_NI have a questions how can companies become involved? Do you think its possible for them to make money by suggesting ubuntu and other Free Open Source Software and Solutions to their clients?19:01
veddoxK_K_N it's an intrigueing idea - would it work?19:01
mhall119K_K_N: we have some hardware companies that sell devices with Ubuntu, others that provide support for Ubuntu (and Edubuntu for schools)19:01
Neo31I think the best thing to do is to go to the end user, which we usually and mostly find on social media. We can bring them to a website with an iframe for IRC and more interesting stuff then.19:02
mhall119also non-profits that like to use Ubuntu and FOSS to help their communities19:02
veddoxNeo31 I like that!19:02
CryterionIt's the hardware systems you can do, keeping the cost down with ubuntu!19:02
pieter2627veddox: i don't think the group has been announced on the forum19:02
zxsinclairNeo31: I like the "irc frame" thing19:02
Neo31yep19:02
ongolaBoymhall119: yep some non-profits (like where I work ) use only ubuntu for their workstation in Africa ;)19:03
Neo31I mean whatever is easy for a new Ubuntu user19:03
veddoxpieter2627 I think that would be an important avenue to pursue - many users end up on the forums at some point19:03
mhall119Neo31: is right, social media posts, blogs, youtube videos, podcasts, etc are all great ways of attracting the attention of end users19:03
lafricainK_K_N, I don't know about companies, but for particular person it can give job, the big problem is viruses on windows.19:03
inetproQA: accepted keep suggestions coming to improve visibility and sign up new users19:03
QAAccepted: keep suggestions coming to improve visibility and sign up new users19:03
otenhGuys u are going too fast for me to keep up19:03
lafricainThe important is formation to use.19:03
inetproQA: topic Get more Ubuntu users to apply for official membership19:03
QACurrent Topic: Get more Ubuntu users to apply for official membership19:03
Kiloslol me too19:04
otenhOk19:04
lafricainFor me too...19:04
renemanasse_ok19:04
inetproI think this topic speaks for itself and is very related to the previous one19:04
Cryterionyep19:04
grembleWhat is the significance of official membership?19:04
veddoxdon't you need to show a high level of community engagement to be accepted for membership?19:04
Na3iLyup we should endorse our selves by leaving testimonials..19:04
otenhI think the best way is education19:04
lafricainHé renemanasse_ t'es de RDC!19:05
Kilosgremble  maybe mhall119 can answer19:05
mhall119veddox: you need to show significant and sustained contributions to Ubuntu, it doesn't necessarily have to be community engagement19:05
* ongolaBoy has set his draft for membership .. still pending :)19:05
philipballewI think to get more visibility following more people on the social media accounts is not a bad idea.19:05
Na3iLgremble, → https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/NewMember19:05
philipballewI can do that probably19:05
nwcbundling applications that are relevant to our targets, companies or schools can increase ubuntu usage19:05
pieter2627Neo31 veddox zxsinclair the irc frame is already on the site as far as i know19:05
* inetpro still needs to sign up his self19:05
inetprothe certificate signed by sabdfl himself will be a nice one to have19:05
mhall119gremble: there are some perks to being a Member, such as an @ubuntu.com email address, IRC cloak, I think LWN subscription, and you can use the community donations fund to get money for Ubuntu-related events and stuff19:05
Kilosmine is framed already19:06
zxsinclairpieter2627: which one of the sites, we have mentioned several during discussion19:06
veddoxpieter2627 great!19:06
mhall119it's also a good way to highlight and thank the people who are doing good work for Ubuntu as a whole19:06
Neo31yep pieter2627 but we could think of more tricks to makes the entry level for new users even easier ;)19:06
veddoxzxsinclair ubuntu-africa.info19:06
mhall119also, Ubuntu Members get to vote in the Community Council elections19:06
otenhLast week I passed through he'll19:06
otenhLast week I passed through hell trying to install ubuntu for a friend19:07
veddoxwell personally I do plan to apply for Membership, but I feel I really don't have enough experience/contributions yet19:07
zxsinclairveddox: you right, it is first time I see this site so did not notice19:07
otenhThe touch pad was not working19:07
inetproQA: accepted Official Membership is a good way to highlight and thank the people who are doing good work for Ubuntu as a whole19:07
QAAccepted: Official Membership is a good way to highlight and thank the people who are doing good work for Ubuntu as a whole19:07
mhall119the best thing anybody can do to get people to become members is to (A) help them find a good place to contribute and (B) write a testimonial for them on their wiki page19:07
otenhI think these are some of the thinks that scare off New comers19:08
veddoxotenh: a common problem, but one that should be discussed on the forums?19:08
Kilosotenh  thats why we are here to help newcomers19:08
mhall119otenh: did you teach your friend how to use Launchpad to file bug reports?19:08
veddoxmhall119 the forums are a good place to start contributing, imo19:08
mhall119:)19:08
Kiloswe just need to make ourselves more visible to them19:09
mhall119veddox: we have lots of good places to start, it mostly depends on the skills and interests of the contributor19:09
otenhYes19:09
genovaveddox: discussed on the forums, more better19:09
otenhI filled it for him19:09
Benno-007In the "western world" there are Ubuntu phones since some months. I think they could help to diffuse Ubuntu later, on PC, too. But maybe in Africa they are too expensive in comparement with Firefox OS or Android.19:09
inetpronext?19:09
inetproQA: topic Help to find the missing/tired LoCo's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams19:09
QACurrent Topic: Help to find the missing/tired LoCo's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams19:09
veddoxmhall119 true, what others would you recommend with a low entry barrier?19:09
mhall119Benno-007: not in the Americas there aren't19:10
klem__i agree with genova19:10
Neo31I think to help new people get into contribution is small group mentoring (2 to 3 people)19:10
otenhYes benno-00719:10
Kilosinetpro  i think there are 2 to find only19:10
mhall119veddox: docs are a good one, they don't require technical skills, Translations are another19:10
zabearReaching Africa also have to do with communication - a large part of Africa speaks French and another part communicates in English. Is there a way to reach the French speaking part?19:10
inetproKilos: these topics are all related19:10
Kilosah19:10
Kilossorry19:10
otenhI would love to have one of the ubuntu phone but can't fine one to buy in Ghana19:10
Neo31If we can make an mentoring thing official more people will feel it is easier to start instead of getting scared19:10
veddoxzabear: good point19:10
renemanasse_god ideaa19:11
Kilosread them quick and drop what you think is covered19:11
StevdokSorry am on mobile19:11

KilosStevdok  keep it up19:12
mhall119zabear: the ubuntu-fr LoCo team is active in French-speaking regions outside of France itself, they can probably help19:12

zabearI see a number of French speakers here. Do we need to have a Ubuntu-Africa page for both English and French so that French speaking Africa can follow what is happening on the web?19:18
Kiloshttp://people.ubuntu.com/~chilicuil/ubuntumembers-map.html19:18
veddoxzabear: I would second that, a translation seems to be the polite thing to do19:19
Neo31zabear, That is a good idea I think19:19
Kilosif you guys look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams19:19
Kilosyou will see you can choose languages19:19
veddoxwould somebody volunteer to translate the ubuntu-africa.info page to french?19:19
Neo31Some Tunisians would scare and get off any thing in English19:19
Kilosoh you mean the site19:19
renemanasse_why we have not users in DRC on the maps???19:20
Neo31and most African locos either speak English or French19:20
genovazabear: why notif the French do the translation work19:20
pieter2627if we are going to trans, will we also cover arabi(another popular african lang)?19:20
Na3iLsure pieter262719:20
Kilosthe map maintainer cant do it anymore renemanasse_ so we have a new guy taken over19:20
genovapieter2627: yes19:20
inetproQA: idea discuss creating more sub teams grouped by language19:20
QAIdea recorded: discuss creating more sub teams grouped by language19:20
veddoxmight as well add kiswahili19:20
klem__https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams/Fr french already there it seems19:20
ongolaBoyveddox: I can help in translation sometimes :)19:21
Neo31pieter2627, I would vote for English and French only. more effort might be a distraction for now19:21
Kilosand arabic i think19:21
inetprotime really moving too quickly... nice to see the active discussion and all the ideas19:21
R0ok__veddox: most Swahili speakers are pretty much fluent in English too19:21
KilosNa3iL  thats your section19:21

klem__how can i had lyself on the map19:22
zabearKilos:  I had been looking at the AfricanTeams web but did not see that it was available in more than English - perhaps I looked at wrong place?19:22
veddoxongolaBoy: great! Do you have a Launchpad account to participate in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-africa?19:22
inetproanyone know of any Ubuntu related events on the continent coming up soon?19:22
ongolaBoyinetpro: you skip some items .. :-\19:22

Neo31if we have more than enough resources of course that would be so great genova19:23
ongolaBoyveddox: https://launchpad.net/~manga-willy19:23
inetproongolaBoy: we're running out of time... anything in particular you want raised?19:23
pieter2627zabear:  the wiki has a few trans19:23
Kilosour maintainer and host is snowed under unti some debconf is over19:23

veddoxkilos I think it would be better the other way around19:25
Neo31I would love to help with a Drupal distribution that helps new african teams get a website online easily19:25
Kilosveddox  you sre right19:26
Neo31since I do Drupal I would be more than happy to help developing a solution like that19:26
Kilosas i say it was the only way i could get reaction from some of the teams19:26
Neo31and it would make the entry level for new teams so easy, not to mention how it helps reaching more end users (marketing)19:26
genovaNeo31: I can help fronthand & design19:26
Neo31perfect genova19:27
inetproNeo31: sounds like a good idea to discuss with teams who have no presence yet19:27
