| <effie_jayx> hello | |
| <lastnode> hey effie_jayx | |
| <effie_jayx> I'd like to start an ubuntu team at my university.. | |
| <effie_jayx> I am curently running a linux user group | |
| <effie_jayx> and I would to star an ubuntu group | |
| <effie_jayx> the number of users is amazing... | |
| <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, where are you situated? | |
| <effie_jayx> Maracaibo. Venezuela, South America | |
| <effie_jayx> there ia local team... | |
| <effie_jayx> here in venezuela... | |
| <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, what you should probably do then, is start a chapter of that LoCo for your Uni's area | |
| <effie_jayx> sure... | |
| <effie_jayx> I'll try to reach em | |
| <effie_jayx> thansk | |
| <elkbuntu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList <-- the contact details are the second from the bottom on the page | |
| <elkbuntu> if you're not already in the channel, joining it is a good start. unfortunatley they're not on freenode :( | |
| <effie_jayx> I noticed | |
| <elkbuntu> if you could encourage them to freenode, it would be immensely helpful to them and us :) | |
| <effie_jayx> they voted on it... | |
| <effie_jayx> they prefered unplug | |
| <effie_jayx> I think | |
| <effie_jayx> they have friends in those user groups... | |
| <elkbuntu> ah | |
| <elkbuntu> fair enough | |
| <elkbuntu> do most of them also frequent freenode? | |
| <effie_jayx> tehy are really starting out... (like most of us) | |
| <effie_jayx> I do... | |
| <effie_jayx> I don't know they , I joined their mailing list | |
| <effie_jayx> but it is not running | |
| <effie_jayx> now... | |
| <effie_jayx> and i have a blog on their site... which is quite cool | |
| <effie_jayx> but I don't know them they live in the capital city | |
| <effie_jayx> I live to the west cornr of our country | |
| <effie_jayx> so ... it makes it a bit tough... | |
| <effie_jayx> but I will try to persuade them to join freenode... | |

| <nixternal> thanks Seveas! | |
| <looksaus> elkbuntu, Seveas, smurf, we just received a sponsorship offer for a booth at THE it in education fair in our country | |
| <looksaus> it's from a sympathetic small company | |
| <looksaus> price: 1500 € ... | |
| <looksaus> strings attached still to be discussed, but I know the person in charge a bit | |
| <looksaus> he's likely to have done this mostly just for the Good Cause... | |
| <looksaus> any hints on how to work with him? | |
| <Burgwork> looksaus: the company is looking for exposure. You need to be able to guarantee some sort of ROI for them | |
| <Burgwork> they are also looking to link their brand with ours | |
| <looksaus> Burgwork, most certainly... | |
| <looksaus> man, man, we are hitting onto something here | |
| <looksaus> just got an offer from a company quite central in the country | |
| <looksaus> (good railway link, 10 minutes by train from Brussels centre) | |
| <looksaus> we can use their offices & training aulas for our meetings, | |
| <looksaus> and even if they're not like Google's, they get quite close |
