[20:31] <nhaines> So the good news is that I just got the Ubuntu discs for SCALE!
[20:32] <nhaines> Bad news is that I'm way too lazy to count them.
[20:32] <pleia2> woo
[20:34] <nhaines> Looks like about 375 desktop DVDs and 125 server DVDs though!
[20:34]  * nhaines will count after eating.
[20:34] <pleia2> nice
[20:36] <nhaines> Plus the polo shirts and conference pack are arriving in the next four hours.
[20:37] <nhaines> No, they changed their mind and are delivering tomorrow.  Well that's annoying.  :P

[00:57]  * penguin42 loads up the Delorean and eases the accelerator down
[01:00] <penguin42> *whoosh*
[01:01] <daftykins> ay carumba i'm suddenly not up so late! :D
[01:02] <daftykins> happy clock change!
[01:03] <penguin42> might be a good time to go to bed to get some of the extra time
[01:03] <daftykins> could be, i've been sucked into DuoLingo big time and have someone chasing me for 1st place :(
[01:03] <daftykins> sometimes i'm disappointed how easily i'm taken for a ride on these things xD
[01:03] <daftykins> at least i'm learning a language and it's not some entirely virtual accomplishment
[01:04] <penguin42> which one?
[01:05] <daftykins> i've picked back up my school German
[01:06] <penguin42> they tried to teach me French at school and I was awful
[01:07] <daftykins> same, i rebelled too
[01:07] <daftykins> i escaped as soon as German was offered as i found it much easier
[01:10] <penguin42> I ordered some stuff from https://www.reichelt.com/  when they still had a UK shop, and they had a tickbox for send catalogue; and that's how I foundmyself with a fun 2" thick German tech catalog
[01:11] <daftykins> ooh
[01:11] <daftykins> reich means rich, so i wonder if the pricing matches xD
[01:11] <penguin42> actually it was OK, I bought zwave TRVs from them
[01:12] <daftykins> ooh
[01:19] <penguin42> anyway, bed I think


[14:01] <Kilos> good afternoon people of tunisia
[14:01] <Kilos> do any of you speak english
[14:01] <elacheche> Hey Kilos
[14:02] <Kilos> i am from ubuntu south africa and we are trying to link all the ubuntu groups in africa
[14:02] <elacheche> Awesome :)
[14:02] <elacheche> Nice to meet you
[14:03] <Kilos> yeah its nice to meet you as well. :)
[14:03] <Kilos> major job with some of the countries though
[14:05] <Kilos> this is actually a project i was given because im old and at home all the time hehe
[14:06] <Kilos> we are #ubuntu-za
[14:07] <elacheche> Can you give us more details about the project?
[14:09] <Kilos> well at our last monthly meeting one of the guys said it would be cool to link as many african countries as possible and seeing as everyone else works i got the job
[14:10] <Kilos> i have contacts in nairobilug and congo brazzaville so far
[14:12] <Kilos> and thought it would be cool to link the most northerly group with us being the most southerly group then everything in between must just fall into place
[14:12] <elacheche> Cool Kilos :) Am sure that the guys from Dz, Eg & Ma will like the idea too..
[14:15] <Kilos> great i might go off now because we have a big storm so power might die but ill be back
[14:23] <Neo31`> hi there Kilos
[14:23] <Neo31`> hey elacheche how r u doin
[14:25] <elacheche> Hey Neo31 :)

[14:26] <elacheche> Busyyyy x)
[14:26] <elacheche> You?
[14:26] <Neo31> Kilos, i've been in contact with some guys from Cameroon few years ago i hope they are still active
[14:26] <Neo31> we also have friends from near loco teams in north africa :)
[14:27] <Neo31> elacheche, a little
[14:27] <Kilos> great i would like to get us all connected
[14:28] <Neo31> elacheche, i want my ubuntu pin back!! :'(
[14:28] <elacheche> Neo31, you'll get it on Valentine's day :p <3
[14:28] <Neo31> loooooool thank you elacheche :p
[14:29] <elacheche> :)
[14:29] <Neo31> #ubuntu-dz for algeria team
[14:30] <Neo31> elacheche, what's the channel of morroco?
[14:30] <Kilos> im actually applying for ubuntu membership tomorrow night at our midnight
[14:30] <Neo31> cool
[14:30] <Neo31> good luck
[14:30] <Kilos> ty
[14:31] <Neo31> i know butterflyoffire from algeria team and oix
[14:31] <Neo31> they don't seem to b online right now
[14:31] <Neo31> thelinuxer on #ubuntu-eg is also an active member u can count on
[14:32] <elacheche> #ubuntu-ma
[14:32] <Neo31> yep that's it :)
[14:32] <elacheche> :)
[14:33] <Neo31> u remember the name of the ubuntu translation guy there elacheche ?
[14:33] <elacheche> no idea Neo31
[14:34] <Neo31> daker and waver are active members too (on irc)
[14:35] <Neo31> Kilos, keep in touch with us please :)
[14:35] <Kilos> i will
[14:35] <Neo31> and tell us what's the plan after u get in contact with available african teams
[14:36] <elacheche> +1 Neo31
[14:36] <Kilos> actually any ideas on the most effective way to link us all will be appreciated
[14:36] <Neo31> this link might also be useful : http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/
[14:36] <Kilos> most african teams arent even verified any more
[14:37] <Kilos> and zimbabwe seems to have died completely
[14:37] <Kilos> excuse me if i seem slow, i really am
[14:38] <Kilos> here is my wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kilos
[14:38] <Neo31> maybe if you explain the objective of getting in contact with all teams we might have good ideas to help
[14:40] <Kilos> well everywhere in africa ubuntu teams seem to be almost dying out. even by us, we had 2 ubuntu dev guys and they have gone to silicon valley in the states
[14:40] <Kilos> and others are so busy working and trying to make ends meet they dont have the time of a few years ago
[14:41] <Kilos> so, if we want to push ubuntu as an alternative to windows we have to get going
[14:41] <Kilos> right or wrong?
[14:41] <elacheche> +1
[14:41] <Neo31> yep
[14:42] <Kilos> 90% of the world doesnt even know what ubuntu is
[14:42] <Kilos> and if you talk about linux some say whats that and others say oh the server thing
[14:42] <Neo31> I guess that is changing in tunisia, but still need a lot of work
[14:43] <Neo31> some people know ubuntu now but many are afraid of change, u know ;)
[14:43] <Kilos> lol yeah
[14:43] <Kilos> sorry if i dont use emoticons , i never learned to touch type so need to look for each key
[14:43] <Kilos> hehe
[14:44] <Neo31> it's fine Kilos and u can still learn, it will take u no more than two months to get to a good touch typing level.
[14:45] <Kilos> lol my hands are too old to bend like that
[14:45] <Kilos> and my ram is corrupted so i just do things slowly
[14:45] <Neo31> u never know ;) unless u try
[14:45] <Neo31> but it's really fine anyway, it's no big deal
[14:45] <Kilos> i have a few times
[14:46] <Neo31> i see
[14:46] <Neo31> :)
[14:47] <Neo31> anyway Kilos we have always been an active team since 2007
[14:47] <Neo31> every team have ups and downs, but be assured if you reach to us anytime on our mailing list you will get an answer
[14:47] <Kilos> great im glad that there is life so far away from us.
[14:48] <Neo31> so keep us updated with the progress, and we will help in every way we can
[14:48] <Kilos> cool so you are agreeable to linking up?
[14:48] <Kilos> whether on irc or by email is good i think
[14:48] <Neo31> the question is why not! (we just need to be able to work on seomthing together)
[14:49] <Neo31> getting in touch is only the first step right?
[14:49] <Kilos> yeah
[14:49] <Neo31> btw, elacheche is our official loco contact
[14:50] <Kilos> cool
[14:50] <Kilos> i have his addy and will mail him soon
[14:51] <Kilos> you guys can think about getting wiki pages for starters
[14:51] <Kilos> it seems to be the way ubuntu leans
[14:52] <Neo31> ?
[14:52] <Neo31> what do u mean by wiki pages for starters?
[14:53] <Kilos> here is a link to superfly's page. he is applying with me for ubuntu membership
[14:53] <Kilos> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/superfly
[14:53] <Kilos> he is clever as you will see. i am/was basically a diesel mechanic and farmer
[14:54] <Kilos> it seems ubuntu keeps track of all members better if they have their own wiki pages
[14:55] <Kilos> like you cant apply for membership without one
[14:55] <Neo31> if you saying that we should have wiki pages, yes many of our active members have one
[14:55] <Kilos> cool
[14:56] <Neo31> yep, you need that to apply for membership
[14:56] <Kilos> serious business applying for membership
[14:56] <Kilos> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/NewMember
[14:57] <Neo31> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Neo31
[14:58] <Kilos> great
[14:58] <Kilos> the peeps in congo brazzaville didnt know anything about it
[14:59] <Neo31> needs to be updated for 2014
[14:59] <Neo31> we are an approved loco team since 2008 Kilos ;)
[14:59] <Kilos> yeah i saw that
[14:59] <Kilos> well done
[15:00] <Kilos> look at the rest of the groups in africa
[15:00] <Neo31> yep
[15:00] <Neo31> I did visit some channels on irc before
[15:00] <Kilos> only 3 of us still approved
[15:01] <Kilos> i think we can all work together on this and get the other groups active again
[15:01] <Neo31> some of the teams haven't been approved in the first place
[15:01] <Neo31> not yet at least
[15:01] <Kilos> well some prefer it that way
[15:02] <Kilos> they say what do we get out of it
[15:02] <Neo31> experience is the least thing they get
[15:02] <Kilos> we had feedback from the ubuntu council and they said if you have enough members they even send you a ubuntu cellphone to test out
[15:03] <Neo31> if i don't mention the other stuff like loco packs
[15:03] <Kilos> yeah
[15:03] <Neo31> we can make use of that, I got a phone personally and tried to get it to as many members i have met
[15:04] <Neo31> but it started to break recently
[15:04] <Kilos> ouch
[15:04] <Neo31> maybe elacheche can get one! we have enough active members in Tunisia
[15:05] <Kilos> i mean official ubuntu members
[15:05] <Neo31> we have also enough official members ;)
[15:05] <Kilos> wonderful
[15:06] <Kilos> you guys are doing well then
[15:06] <Kilos> we should have linked up long ago
[15:06] <Neo31> I though south africa is doing well also
[15:07] <Kilos> yes we are but membership dropped a bit with peeps going overseas and so on
[15:07] <Neo31> am i right?
[15:07] <elacheche> Neo31,  get what?
[15:07] <Neo31> good

[15:08] <Neo31> members come and go all the time
