| belkinsa | o/ all | 13:59 |
| Ekushey | Hello belkinsa :) | 14:00 |
| belkinsa | How are you today? | 14:01 |
| Ekushey | Good, thanks :) | 14:04 |
| belkinsa | Can do you do me a favor and accept my subscription request to your LoCo's mailing-list? | 14:05 |
| Ekushey | Checking... | 14:07 |
| * belkinsa is with Kilos (Miles) to help your LoCo be active again | 14:07 | |
| belkinsa | Ekushey, thank you. | 14:08 |
| Ekushey | You're welcome | 14:08 |
| Ekushey | Our LoCo is very much active, everyone flocked over to our FB group now | 14:09 |
| Ekushey | https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntubd/ | 14:09 |
| belkinsa | I heard, but I still think some don't use Facebook | 14:09 |
| belkinsa | Like me. | 14:09 |
| Ekushey | That's not the case in Bangladesh | 14:11 |
| Ekushey | Since there's "zero" Facebook here, people can use it without paying for Internet. We get a lot of support questions from zero FB users. | 14:11 |
| belkinsa | Has Pavel joined the group on Facebook? | 14:12 |
| Ekushey | Younger people doesn'tlike using mailing lists these days... | 14:12 |
| Ekushey | Yup | 14:12 |
| belkinsa | Good because he wants to get his Ubuntu Membership. | 14:13 |
| Ekushey | I see | 14:13 |
| Ekushey | The good part of FB group is help seekers get assistance really fast, even at 4 in the morning as someone or the other is always online | 14:14 |
| belkinsa | And this is "zero" Facebook apart of the free internet thing in certain countries where you only have a select few websites you can visits? | 14:14 |
| Ekushey | Yes | 14:15 |
| belkinsa | That's a shame. But I won't move to that topic. | 14:16 |
| Ekushey | Shame? | 14:16 |
| belkinsa | Yes, because they can't see the whole internet just only a select websites. | 14:17 |
| Ekushey | Oh | 14:17 |
| Ekushey | Internet is still expensive here, we pay around thrice as much as what Indians pay | 14:18 |
| belkinsa | I was thinking of Mozilla Learning when you said "zero" Factbook. https://teach.mozilla.org/activities | 14:18 |
| belkinsa | Wow. | 14:18 |
| Ekushey | Atleast students are able to use Facebook and other sites who can't afford month-long Internet | 14:20 |
| belkinsa | Yes, that's good. | 14:21 |
| Kilos- | hi Ekushey belkinsa | 14:21 |
| Kilos- | sorry my connection dropped | 14:21 |
| belkinsa | It's cool. | 14:21 |
| Ekushey | Cheap smartphones are available here (costing around $30), so they like using Internet :) | 14:21 |
| Ekushey | Hey Kilos- :) | 14:21 |
| belkinsa | Do you guys have internet cafes or is the internet to expensive for that too? | 14:22 |
| Ekushey | There aren't that many Internet cafes around now, even in the capital as everyone can access it from their phones. | 14:24 |
| belkinsa | I see. | 14:24 |
| Ekushey | Only thing that I don't like is a lot of people now thinks Internet means Facebook... that's all that they use. | 14:25 |
| belkinsa | Ekushey, :). Thanks for saying that. | 14:25 |
| Ekushey | Well true for Bangladesh, that's my observation... don't know about other countries. | 14:26 |
| * belkinsa does either | 14:27 | |
| Kilos- | Ekushey as long as ic and wiki etc carry on as well thats good | 14:27 |
| Kilos- | irc | 14:27 |
| belkinsa | But I could guess it's a third world country thing. And I mean no offense. | 14:27 |
| belkinsa | Kilos-, more like as long as FOSS is around those things will be around. | 14:27 |
| Ekushey | We do meetups too, the community is great here :) | 14:28 |
| Kilos- | we just need to all work together thats all | 14:28 |
| Kilos- | all of the linux world that is | 14:28 |
| Ekushey | Which LoCo team are you from belkinsa? | 14:28 |
| belkinsa | Ohio, USA, an inactive one because we are all scattered around the state. I'm the only one down in the southern end. | 14:29 |
| Ekushey | Oh OK :) | 14:29 |
| Kilos- | bhavani was telling me the other day he has similar problems in india | 14:31 |
| Kilos- | wll get around to helping him too | 14:31 |
| Ekushey | Bhavani lives abroad now I guess? | 14:31 |
| Ekushey | Or still in India? | 14:31 |
| Kilos- | i dont know where he lives but being in the loco council its part of his job to try help struggling locos | 14:32 |
| Kilos- | its actually a world wide initiative | 14:32 |
| Ekushey | The only way we're struggling is lack of funding | 14:33 |
| Kilos- | and can be very time consuming, one ends up being subscribed to dozens of mailing lists | 14:34 |
| Ekushey | We organize workshops at universities, and there are some expenses | 14:34 |
| belkinsa | Sounds like someone needs to use https://www.patreon.com | 14:34 |
| Kilos- | internet costs are the big problem i think | 14:35 |
| belkinsa | Oi! Ekushey, is it possible that you can mirror your LoCo's events on the LoCo portal? | 14:35 |
| belkinsa | And also update your link to the homepage of the LoCo. | 14:35 |
| Ekushey | Sorry about that, after the LoCo portal was built we didn't make any updates there :P | 14:36 |
| belkinsa | Oh, okay. | 14:36 |
| Ekushey | Will do... we've an event coming up next month, 10th anniversary of Ubuntu-BD :) | 14:37 |
| Ekushey | How does Patreon send the money? Via PayPal? | 14:37 |
| belkinsa | It's like PayPal but with monthly payments from your supporters. | 14:38 |
| Ekushey | I mean how do they reimburse the money collected from patrons? | 14:40 |
| Ekushey | For some reason the site is loading really slow... | 14:40 |
| belkinsa | You can take out the money each month from your account. | 14:41 |
| Ekushey | Ah, via PayPal and Payoneer | 14:42 |
| belkinsa | But after a certain amount, $600 in US, you get taxed. But I think it comes back to you as a return because it's below a certain limit. | 14:42 |
| Ekushey | PayPal doesn't work here, not Payoneer is the only option | 14:42 |
| Ekushey | Very shameful but we're one of the only few countries from where you can't open a PayPal account. | 14:45 |
| belkinsa | Wow. | 14:45 |
| Kilos- | ouch | 14:46 |
| Kilos- | i have one but my stupid bank doesnt connect with them | 14:46 |
| Ekushey | It's our government's fault really, they didn't give PayPal to do business here as they thought people will do money laundering :P | 14:47 |
| Ekushey | Even more shameful, Bangladesh was once offered to get connected via underwater fiber network, but govt. said no... the reason they gave was that our countries information will get stolen :P | 14:48 |
| Kilos- | ouch | 14:51 |
| Ekushey | Hahaha | 14:51 |
| belkinsa | A bigger Wow. | 14:51 |
| Kilos- | at leat here some of the ISPs are supplying free wifi | 14:52 |
