Announcing Ubuntu User Day - January 23, 2010
Greetings; The Ubuntu User Days Team would like to announce the first Ubuntu User Day, on January 23, 2010. This will be a very informative one day session geared towards beginner and intermediate Ubuntu users, as well as people who are interested in using Ubuntu. We have 14 classes covering topics ranging from installing Ubuntu, finding help, equivalent programs, using IRC, getting involved in the Ubuntu Community and more. We have enlisted the help of many talented people to lead these classes throughout the day. These classes will be taught in #ubuntu-classroom with questions being asked in #ubuntu-classroom-chat on irc.freenode.net. Please visit http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays for a complete class list and schedule of classes. There is also a Spanish version of Ubuntu User Days being offered on January, 23, 2010. Please visit Día Del Usuario Ubuntu at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiaDelUsuarioUbuntu for more information on the Spanish Ubuntu User Day! Please take a few minutes over the next week or so to promote the Ubuntu User Day to people you know, in your LoCo Team, in your blog, or any other resources you may have access to. Respectfully Submitted, Chris Johnston Ubuntu Member chrisjohns...@ubuntu.com www.chrisjohnston.org cjohnston on irc.freenode.net -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
Ubuntu Global Jam - 26 March - 28 March 2010
Good day! Hopefully by now you have heard of the Ubuntu Global Jam [1] coming up in March. The dates for the Global Jam this cycle are the 26th through the 28th of March 2010. We are hoping to make this Global Jam extremely successful, and we need your help in doing it. We are wanting to have events in as many places as possible not only to help to improve Ubuntu, but also to help promote Ubuntu. *What is the Global Jam?* The Ubuntu Global Jam is an online and in person event that takes place all across the world. People get together with the interest of making Ubuntu better, while having a good time socializing with other people near you who have the same interest and passion about Ubuntu as you do. *What can your LoCo do?* The Ubuntu Global Jam has many different events that for users to participate in, just pick what you and your members like, and make it happen. You can pick from one or more of the following events: *Bug Jam* - During a bug jam users would work on finding, triaging and fixing bugs. *Testing Jam* - Lucid is due out the end of April and we need help testing it out prior to its release. *Upgrade Jam* - Upgrade systems that are currently running older versions of Ubuntu and report your experience. *Documentation Jam* - Write documentation about using Ubuntu, or joining the Ubuntu community, or work on making the existing documentation better. *Translations Jam* - Help to make Ubuntu available to everyone. Help translate Ubuntu into your language. *Packaging Jam* - Help out with improving packages in Ubuntu. *Other* - If your team has some other aspect of helping out the Ubuntu Community, feel free to participate in that for the Global Jam. You can find out more information about the different types of Jams on the Ubuntu Global Jams wiki page [1]. *How do we run a Jam?* If you have never run a Global Jam event before, or if you have, but would like some fresh ideas, we have three training sessions scheduled between now and the Global Jam event. The training sessions will be held by JorgeCastro and will be held in #ubuntu-locoteams on freenode. The training sessions will take place on: 17 February 2010 at 18:00 UTC 26 February 2010 at 2100 UTC 10 March 2010 at 2100 UTC All three training sessions will contain tips, tricks, pointers and advice on how to run a Jam. You can also find out more information at the Running An Event page [2] on the Ubuntu Wiki. *What is needed to run a Jam?* In order to effectively run a Jam, each event will need a place to meet that has a decent internet connection, as well as some computers, and an area that users can work in. Suggested places are Universities, schools, and neighborhood centers. Don't forget after you find a place to run your Jam and have decided what your LoCo wants to do during the Jam, you need to get the word out about your Jam! Blog about it, post it on Twitter and Identi.ca, place it on the Ubuntu Global Jam Events page [2], send emails to your LoCo's mailing lists, and anything else that you can think of. The more people that participate, the more fun that you will have, and the more help that can be provided to improve Ubuntu. *Need more help?* Read about what other LoCo's have done at their Global Jam events for more thoughts and ideas [3] and if you are still in need of more help, or have questions that aren't covered anywhere, feel free to contact myself via email or on IRC, or attend one of the training sessions listed above.

Announcing the Ubuntu.com Website Localization Project
Good Day; It is my pleasure to announce a new project to better the Ubuntu.com website experience, specifically for users who prefer a language other than English. The new project, called Website Localization [1] will put a short (4-5 word) message on any www.Ubuntu.com <http://www.ubuntu.com/> web page directing users to more resources in their preferred language. This project has two main parts to it. The first part of the Website Localization project is the technical aspect of the project. It is the goal of the project to create a script that will pull out of a users web browser their preferred language. After obtaining this information, the script will cross reference this language against a list of languages that have approved resources offered, and then display a short link to their languages landing page. The second part of this project is creating landing pages for as many resources as possible. This part of the project will be done by LoCos and the i18n team. The landing pages will be on the wiki, and will be ever changing to direct users to the best information that we can give them. Currently, the goal is to have the project completed and implemented by the end of May. I would also like to have a working demo of the project by April 19th so that we have plenty of time to fix any problems that arise prior to the final implementation of this project. I can't do all of this myself, so I am going to need help from the Ubuntu community. At this point, I need some assistance with the technical side of the project. I need a few people to create the script that will detect the users preferred language, and then show them a link to the landing page in their language. If you have the skills needed to help out with this Website Localization project, please send me an email with your name, launchpad account, a little bit of information about the experience you have and your general ability (time zone, and anything else that may help me out). My goal is to get a group of a few people to work on the technical aspect of this project and have a meeting in the next few weeks to discuss the project in a little more detail, and determine the best way to make this happen.

Ubuntu LoCo Team Directory - A Call for Translations
Greetings; This morning the LoCo Team Directory Dev Team released a new version of the LoCo Team Directory [0] (v0.2.18). With this release there are quite a few new cool features including: - The use of real names instead of user names - Picture feeds throughout the LoCo Directory - Access to the #ubuntu-locoteams channel on freenode directly from the LoCo Directory website - Use of the new "Ubuntu Font" With all of these changes, there are also a number of changes to the translation strings. We would like to ask your help in updating the translations for the LoCo Team Directory. If you would like to help us translate the Ubuntu LoCo Team Directory, please visit the translations page [1] on Launchpad. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask myself or one of the other LoCo Team Directory Devs [2] or join #ubuntu-locoteams on freenode.

Ubuntu LoCo Team Directory Updates
Greetings; The LoCo Directory Developers have been hard at work in the past few weeks and this morning pushed out a new release of the LoCo Team Directory. One of the major changes in the new version of the LoCo Team Directory is that local times are finally displayed on event pages thanks to Michael Hall. The time zone displayed is based upon the time zone specified for the venue that is used. For example, if the venue you are using for your event is in Orlando, Florida, you would need to set the time zone for the venue to US/Eastern and the event will display the time in EST. To make this work though, all venues that are currently in the LoCo Team Directory need to be updated to reflect their correct time zone. There were many other bugs fixed in this release which you can view [0] in Launchpad. Another big feature is that you can "turn off" registration to an event in the LoCo Team Directory for instances where registration is being handled elsewhere and providing a link to that registration site. We have also fixed the search function on the LoCo Team Directory which is now a site-wide search. Something else that I wanted to mention is that there is now a mailing list specifically for discussion about the LoCo Team Directory. You can sign up for the mailing list [1] and join the discussions by sending an email to loco-directory at lists.ubuntu.com.

Re: Mailinglist in Launchpad
Marcus, As specified on [1] "Mailing List - Mailing lists are hosted by Canonical at http://lists.ubuntu.com/ and each LoCo team should have a mailing list. An ubuntu-CC (CC is the ISO country code) mailing list for general discussion about Ubuntu in your language should be created. Email r...@ubuntu.com to request the creation of a mailing list. The list should be created within 2 weeks. If it is not, please contact the LoCo council to find out whether there is a problem with the request. United States teams should append the two-letter US Postal Code abbreviation for the relevant state (e.g. ubuntu-us-ca)." And then specified on [2] "If your project is only loosely connected to Ubuntu and your team is using Launchpad anyway, a Launchpad mailing list might be more appropriate." Both of these tend to lead in the direction that a LoCo team mailing list should be on lists.ubuntu.com [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MailingLists?action=show&redirect=MailingList#Requesting a list Chris On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 8:51 AM, Marcus Moeller wrote: > Hi all. > > At the moment we (the Swiss team) have a mailinglist within the > lists.ubuntu.com space, which is not that bad. > > But, we would also like to make this list visible within our launchpad site, > allowing ppl to easily join the conversation. > > Is there a way to keep that 'classic' list but integrate it into launchpad > in some kind of form? > > Greets > Marcus > > -- > loco-contacts mailing list > loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts > -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
Re: Mailinglist in Launchpad
That isnt possible unless you create a launchpad mailing list. I was providing information showing that for a LoCo team, lists.ubuntu.com is the recommended place for hosting the making list, and not launchpad.

LoCo Team Directory Translation Updates
Greetings; I am working on finalizing updates to the LoCo Team Directory [0] to push out a new release in the next week. There have been many changes to the translation strings for the LoCo Team Directory. I am hoping to have the release ready to go by Wednesday, so I would very much appreciate it if our translators could take a look [1] and update any translation strings that need to be updated prior to then. I am also sending this email out to the LoCo Contacts in hopes that they will forward the translation requests on to their team members, hoping that we could get some new translators involved in this great project. I would be willing to do a secondary release a few days or a week after the initial release if there are enough translations done after Wednesday that would warrant an update. We have some changes coming up this cycle to the LoCo Team Directory that I believe will create a fair amount of new strings that will need to be translated. More on that will come later as we progress through the cycle. I would also ask that translators file bugs [2] on any strings that could be worded differently to make translations easier. Also, if you have any ideas or suggestions that may not quite fit a bug report, feel free to contact us on the Community Web Projects mailing list [3].

Let me tell you why.. That way, when someone finds the Launchpad page for the team, they will know exactly what they are looking at. It would be easy to drop it from the list on LoCo Directory when they all follow the same convention. I can't take 42 different naming conventions though and make them look good together.

Re: [RFC] LEP#1, Standardize the LoCo Team Display Names
I don't know if you read Laura's blog post or not, but there is enough trouble with getting teams to add their team contacts to LoCo Directory.. Adding more fields for teams to need to change isn't going to fix anything if they aren't already editing their team details. BTW, all but the team name is editable in LD.

[RFC] LEP#2, Local Community Teams vs. Locale Teams
Proposed-By: Chris Johnston ; Paul Tagliamonte Scope: All LoCo Teams, Worldwide Status: Draft Rational: Local Community Teams vs Locale Teams Greetings, Before we start, I'd like to make clear that this is in *no way* a critisism of how steller teams, such as Ubuntu France or the Catalan team are run. We both have the utmost respect for how well-managed and run the teams are, and look forward to their continued success. This is more of a philosophical guideline on how it "should" be. I would like to propose that we define what is already said in that a LoCo Team (or Local Team) is a location based team (as meant by local) and not a locale based team. It seems as though groups are forming language based teams, and treating them as local teams. The scope of the LoCo Team, and the LoCo Team Directory is that of users in a common location getting together as a community, and doing things as a community. The point of a locale based team is not properly able to support having events and gatherings under the scope of the LoCo Community. The proposal further states that locale based teams be moved into teams of their own, which can be made into a parent team of the LoCo, if all members of the LoCo are engaged in such activities. Teams like ubuntu-eo and ubuntu-fr seem to cover all countries that speak a given language, however, I'd hardly call an activity in Belgium local to an activity in Canada. In short, I'd like to propose that LoCo teams try to stay within geopolitical bounds. As a solution, it would be nice to have "super-teams" that allow cross-team collaboration for LoCos, and LoCo Teams be members of this "super-team." This would look something like: ubuntu-language-XX +-> ubuntu-NN +-> ubuntu-MM With ubuntu-language-XX being the "super-team" and "ubuntu-NN" as well as "ubuntu-MM" being the LoCo Teams. In this situation, the orginizational unit "ubuntu-language-ISO_CODE" would not be a LoCo Team it's self, but would allow teams to share resources, such as support channels and support forums, while not trying to tackle more then one country per ISO code. This should actually provide a higher level of support from both the community, as more people will be focusing in one area, rather than a few people focusing on multiple different areas, as well as from Canonical, in the form of 6-month CD allocations, and other LoCo team care packages. Respectfully Submitted for comments, Chris Johnston and Paul Tagliamonte -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
Re: [RFC] LEP#2, Local Community Teams vs. Locale Teams
Yao, You could do that, or you could just do ubuntu-language-zh-hant and ubuntu-language-zh-hans. My goal with this is more to have Local Community Teams be different than language teams. I can't speak for Paul or the LoCo Council, but in my opinion, the language teams fall outside the realm of the Council, and therefore, people could do as they please, I am just simply providing an option on how language teams could exist.

Where a new user searching for support have to go to find online help? To use French as an example, There is currently the Ubuntu France team. It does not make sense for someone in Florida to join that team. Here is why: they won't be able to attend release parties, events, etc. The recommendation that was made is to create: ubuntu-language-fr Now.. The Ubuntu France team joins this team.. And it's my understanding that Quebec has a large French speaking population. So maybe the Quebec LoCo Team (if such thing exists) joins the ubuntu-language-fr team. And I have a buddy here in Florida who speaks french. Well.. He isn't in Quebec, so their release parties and Ubuntu Hours won't do him any good. Then there is Ubuntu France.. Well.. As we already determined, he isn't there either.. So he joins ubuntu-language-fr, and participates with the French community in that way. The same thing could happen with Spanish speaking people around the world. Each country has their own team (as pretty much already exists), and they all join together on support and documentation, etc. > I finish with a last question because nobody seems to want to talk about > that. What is the place of a language support team in the Ubuntu world? I can't speak for anyone else, buy IMO, the place of a language support team would be to provide support and documentation, etc. Combine with the translation teams and do translations.

Instead of just having this stuff run by Ubuntu France, run it by anyone and any teams that speak French from around the world, with Ubuntu France continuing to participate, and even continue to lead the charge. However, when it comes to LoCo Directory, and the Local Community Team, someone in Canada probably won't be attending your 11.10 release party, so why should they be a part of the local (geography) team. They shouldn't. They should be a part of the locale (language) team. > Sharing is already what we have try to do in the Past.

I think that this is suggesting that because there may now be many French speaking LoCo teams, Canonical would do the sharing (when the other French speaking teams become approved).

The organization would be done in the same way that the News Team, the Community Web Team, the Beginners Team, Bug Control and tons of other teams do. It would be possible to use one of the LoCo Teams to establish the meeting on the LoCo Team Directory, or, at some point the developers of the LoCo Team Directory do wish to create a Global Directory, which could do this, however I am yet to convince YoBoY to learn python, and I don't have time time. > Do you plan to do the same for all language including english ? and by > instance to have ubuntu-language-en that will share all the support > activities for english ? It is just a question not trying to find weak > points. The English language is somewhat already setup for this. #ubuntu is used for support, and supported by many English speaking people, who I can only imagine some of them are part of LoCo Teams. Setting up ubuntu-language-en would just be creating a team for something that is already done without any team being created. But the Florida team doesn't have it's own support channel (though we will do support in the channel when needed, as I think anyone would), but we normally use #ubuntu for support. > Regarding that I would be in favor of putting that super team in the > LoCo directory so that it would be simpler for a newcomer to discover > the various teams, but not to apply it to the other ressources.

I can read in the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto that : "LoCo > teams are predominantly set up to do interesting things such as advocacy, > education, support, translations or other tasks" On that very same page it states: "When deciding to create a LoCo team for your area, you should first decide which particular region you want to create a team for. " A region normally isn't considered the entire planet. Nor is a region considered a language. It also states: "See the full list of LoCo teams and look to see if there is one in your area." Then there is the entire paragraph of: "Generally LoCo teams have a fairly large catchment area. So, as an example the UK LoCo Team have a single group for the entire country. This is because the UK is a fairly small country. However, as part of the UK Team, smaller meetings around the country happen, but they all fall under the remit of the UK LoCo team. For larger countries such as the USA, it is more common to have LoCo teams at a state level - the country is too big to have one single LoCo team." Now lets take a look at the LoCoTeamRegions page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamRegions) which gives even further information about regions. I don't really see how it could be much clearer? That very well explains and defines LoCo Teams and regions. > When I read some posts, it's like LoCo teams only have to care of events. > Why not.

So, the parts that are done by the entire French community, ie ubuntu-fr.org would be handled by ubuntu-language-fr and the part that has to do with events, ie. the LoCo Directory part would be done by ubuntu-france (the loco team).

The part that is broken is when a Local Community Team is trying to encompass the entire world.. I.e. language teams.. If language teams don't work, thats fine. But the LoCo Directory is not setup to support a language team. It does nothing for a language team. As I put in my last email, LoCo Teams are designed to be by region, and not by language. The suggestion made initially was purely a suggestion on a way to collaborate resources between LoCo Teams that speak the same language. As good as #ubuntu-es is, and then having the Spanish Classroom, doing events like User Days, (trust me when I say I know that it is good, having helped them out and seen them in action) I can't see why that isn't utilized by the entire Spanish community across the planet. Maybe whoever runs the Spanish resources should reach out to the other Spanish speaking teams and offer to collaborate, I don't know.

LoCo Team Portal Translation Updates
Greetings; I have finalized the updates to the LoCo Team Portal [0] to push out a new release today. There have been huge changes to the translation strings for the LoCo Team Portal. I would like to push out a translations update within the next week, so if you could please visit the translations pages [1] and update any translation strings that need to be updated prior to then. I am also sending this email out to the LoCo Contacts in hopes that they will forward the translation requests on to their team members, hoping that we could get some new translators involved in this great project. I would also ask that translators file bugs [2] on any strings that could be worded differently to make translations easier. Also, if you have any ideas or suggestions that may not quite fit a bug report, feel free to contact us on the Community Web Projects mailing list [3].
