[18:42] yea realised that i'm quite, hence the last part [18:42] there were some ideas but those guys arent here tonight [18:43] ok looks like things have been rather quiet this month... we have work to do [18:43] inetpro: i personally did nothing (sorry) maybe others have [18:44] hmm... [18:44] so nothing to review [18:44] ok, maybe time to discuss meeting time [18:45] QA: topic Meeting time [18:45] Current Topic: Meeting time [18:45] Sorry guys, wasn't able to think this month, I already have plenty of work and my LoCo Re-Approval + the organization of the Software Freedom Day.. [18:45] np elacheche_anis [18:46] we understand, re- approval is rather stressful [18:46] wb craigbrash [18:46] very x'( [18:46] I guess with so few people around we might need to discuss this topic in a next meeting? [18:46] inetpro agreed [18:46] those who are here are you happy with the date at least? [18:46] maybe we should take it to the mailing list [18:47] as in every 4th Wednesday of each month? [18:47] seeing that it will affect next attendance [18:47] pieter2627: I'll add it on the next agenda [18:48] didn't some say that it was a bit late/early? [18:48] but I agree, discussing on the mailing list might be a good idea [18:48] maybe we should all push the list for a whileand see ifwe can improve next meetings attendance [18:48] the list is very quiet [18:49] oh philipballew [18:49] meh. using Launchpad's lists is a bit of a pain [18:49] who takes on the task of raising the point on the mailing list? [18:49] they don't change the reply-to, which is incredibly frustrating [18:50] can you maybe do reminders for next meeting on f/book please [18:50] superfly: good point, but that is another topic [18:50] inetpro: i will mail the list tomorrow [18:50] pieter2627: thanks [18:51] QA: agreed pieter2627 to start the conversation around monthly meeting times [18:51] Agreed: pieter2627 to start the conversation around monthly meeting times [18:51] maybe we must do the time thing by a vote [18:52] no good changing the time to suit only one person [18:52] i will ask if any have a major issue [18:52] maybe an hour later is a starting point [18:53] many are an hour behind us [18:53] Kilos: raise that as a response on the ML... next point [18:53] QA: topic Awareness and actions [18:53] Current Topic: Awareness and actions [18:53] stickyboy where are you man [18:53] do we have any new users here who joined us since our last meeting [18:53] ?

[18:55] none on the lp group [18:55] inetpro with difficulty [18:55] first need to find ubuntu users in our own countries [18:56] with the last meeting we discussed a lot of avenues... [18:56] dont forget guys, we welcome all lugs to join us as well hey [18:56] I guess that is somewhat of a retorical question [18:56] Kilos: What is the status with missing/tired LoCo's? [18:56] personally, i think that each should focus on the media that they use [18:56] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams [18:57] and work with others that use it too. [18:57] inetpro i have done anything about them this month [18:57] had one in mind last month [18:57] was a lug in a country with no loco [18:57] last update was on 2015-08-13 [18:58] ya a new guy was here recently [18:58] Tunisian GNU/Linux User Group (TGLUG) [18:58] nice [18:59] added by Na3iL? [18:59] im sure what we need to do is make irc more attractive in some way [19:00] other social media is whats holdin irc down [19:00] anyone else have feedback about dead LoCo's for now? [19:00] he is in tunisia and applying for membership soon [19:00] the web irc client kiwi is quite attractive [19:01] ok, so we keep going and encourage guys to be more active?

[19:02] pieter2627 do you have time to play around? [19:02] nope inetpro [19:02] strange [19:02] hmm... [19:02] Kilos: some at times [19:03] Kilos: do you know whether he got his mirror sorted? [19:03] yes inetpro he has his mirror as an unofficial one for now [19:04] ah, so we can remove it from the next agenda? [19:04] needs more drive space to become official [19:04] yes [19:04] nice!

[19:09] last one [19:09] both [19:09] hehe [19:09] haha :-) [19:09] * inetpro should learn to stick to one question at a time [19:09] lol [19:09] or we should answer better :) [19:09] ok, upcoming events [19:10] so we know about SFD, anything else?
