έγραψε:<coolbhavi> kotux, A good question, if the cities are not far apart you can be better off I think contributing to the existing loco than creating one yourself
<coolbhavi> in your area
<coolbhavi> alright, lets move on
* ubuderix (2ec63aa2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.46.198.58.162) has joined #ubuntu-classroom
<coolbhavi> ok so I have joined or created a loco team, whats next?
<coolbhavi> You can contribute in a variety of ways in your loco team
<coolbhavi> like spreading the word about ubuntu(not to be confused with marketing) or running installfests or bug jams and global jams and so on
<coolbhavi> Any questions till now?
<ClassBot> fkol_k4 asked: What is the benefit of contributing via a LocCo team instead of doing this on one's own initiative? In what ways does Ubuntu backs LoCo teams?
<coolbhavi> fkol_k4, I am coming to that in the next part
<coolbhavi> so I have joined a loco team.. What are the benefits my team gets
<coolbhavi> ?
* SergioMeneses (~same@ubuntu/member/sergiomeneses) has joined #ubuntu-classroom
* ChanServ gives voice to SergioMeneses
<coolbhavi> there is a procedure called the loco teams approval procedure which is done by the Loco council every 2 years
<coolbhavi> welcome to SergioMeneses btw
<coolbhavi> so once we verify and approve the loco team operations, the team will be given a approved/verified team status in ubuntu
<coolbhavi> so how to get your team operations verified and whats the benefit?
<ClassBot> fkol_k4 asked: in the 2013 UDS it was announced by Jono Bacon that LoCo approval will be deprecated.
<coolbhavi> fkol_k4, thats something we are contemplating on as yet
* ejat (~fenris@120.140.230.101) has joined #ubuntu-classroom
* ejat has quit (Changing host)
* ejat (~fenris@ubuntu/member/fenris-) has joined #ubuntu-classroom
<coolbhavi> and going forward we will only verify the operations I guess as we are thinking to extend the support to teams in larger cities too..
<coolbhavi> so its work in progress
<coolbhavi> so moving ahead..

<coolbhavi> what is the loco team approval procedure and what are its benefits?
<coolbhavi> once a loco team deems to be active for some part of time they can apply for approval and general guidelines are given in this wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Tea ... Guidelines

<coolbhavi> once the team gets approved the team would be given conference packs pressed cd's via shipit primarily for distribution in the loco and in conferences
* IdleOne has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<coolbhavi> SergioMeneses, any other goodies you can specify here
<ClassBot> SonikkuAmericaX asked: Due to the announcement that pressed discs of the latest versions will no longer be available, will LTS releases still be pressed and sent to LoCo teams upon request?
<coolbhavi> SonikkuAmericaX, yes
* IdleOne (~idleone@ubuntu/member/idleone) has joined #ubuntu-classroom
<SergioMeneses> There are teams that are not approved, but that does not mean they can not receive conference packs or resources
<SergioMeneses> as you can see in this wikipage https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences
* SergioMeneses gives the word to coolbhavi
<coolbhavi> only thing is you ll receive a scaled down version

<coolbhavi> Last but not the least: to make your loco team experience easier in ubuntu jono has put all the things together and come up with a kit called ubuntu advocacy kit (uak)
* Cracknel_ is now known as Cracknel
* Cracknel has quit (Changing host)
* Cracknel (~cracknel@unaffiliated/cracknel) has joined #ubuntu-classroom

<ClassBot> NikTh asked: How many Loco contacts can exist in a Loco team ? One , two , or more ?
<ClassBot> There are 5 minutes remaining in the current session.
<coolbhavi> NikTh, any number can be more than one unless any conflicts doesnt arise within the team
<coolbhavi>
<SergioMeneses> NikTh, there is a figure called: Councils - a group of administrators
<coolbhavi> the floor is open for any questions as we wind up
* SonikkuAmericaX has quit (Quit: OpenWeek: See you tomorrow!)
<SergioMeneses> NikTh, if you LoCo team is big maybe you will need more contacts
<coolbhavi> for any queries you can write to us at loco-council at lists.ubuntu.com
