[06:06] <Kilos> morning africa
[08:08] <Kilos> hi ongolaBoy  elacheche
[08:12] <elacheche> Morning Africa :)
[08:12] <elacheche> Kilos, did you see this https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news-team/2015-May/002213.html
[08:12] <Kilos> is that the news leter elacheche
[08:13] <elacheche> yep
[08:13] <Kilos> i get it in my email
[08:13] <Kilos> dont do online stuff if i can help it
[09:22] <elacheche> Kilos,
[09:23] <Kilos> yessir
[09:23] <Kilos> what now elacheche  ?
[09:25] <elacheche> Look at this.. I tried to create the membership slots based on UTC and UTC+8 and UTC-8 → to have equility.. And tried to add an other slot.. Take a look and let's discuss this.. If you want to convaince the team we should have a the perfect plan..
[09:25] <elacheche> UTC-8   UTC     UTC+8
[09:25] <elacheche> 04      12      20
[09:25] <elacheche> 09      17      01
[09:25] <elacheche> 14      22      06
[09:26] <Kilos> we on the right?
[09:27] <Kilos> oh my explain man
[09:27] <elacheche> I added 5pm slot.. Let's not just think about ZA people, let's think about everyone.. You know, if we add a slot based on ZA time zone, many others will come and ask to get a slot for their time zones too.. And then it will be the kaos
[09:28] <Kilos> 5 pm is useless here because thats when guys knock off work and then travel home and that could be a 2 hour trip for some
[09:29] <Kilos> 20.00 uct is perfect for all of africa i think
[09:29] <Kilos> thats 22.00 here
[09:29] <Kilos> 21.00 by you
[09:29] <elacheche> I know Kilos.. I want you to look at the 3rd slot! And think about ZA people and all community people in all time zones
[09:30] <elacheche> We should come out with a proposition that APPLIES to EVERYONE around the world..
[09:31] <Kilos> yes i agree but africa comes first to me
[09:32] <elacheche> Kilos, I really believe that no one will be OK when you talk about just UTC+2 guys! You know, if we add a slot based on ZA time zone, many others will come and ask to get a slot for their time zones too.. And then it will be the kaos
[09:32] <Kilos> the old times were fine for years so 20.00 UCT can just be added and if noone uses it it can be removed again after a few months
[09:32] <Kilos> you will note from the emails i spoke about the whole of europe as being timed with us
[09:33] <Kilos> germany and us have identical times
[09:33] <elacheche> OK.. What about the date! What do you propose?
[09:33] <Kilos> we can change the existing 2 times, we just need to add one in
[09:34] <Kilos> dates are fine. if we add 20.00 it can run before the 22.00 meeting, peeps are still online anyway
[09:36] <elacheche> I see!
[09:37] <Kilos> what toddy doesnt seem to remember is that we only need 4 members at any given time to form a quorum
[09:38] <elacheche> OK, let me resume all this in a mail..
[09:38] <Kilos> cool ty
[09:38] <Kilos> i hate mails back and forth
[09:39] <Kilos> i love irc
[09:39] <elacheche> I hate long mail threads..
[09:40] <Kilos> so much easier imo to set up a meet in the channel and discuss there
[09:44] <Kilos> elacheche  dont forget guys here leave home at 6am or earlier and get home again around 6pm or later. for single young guys it isnt a prob. but married guys with families have to do family time as well
[10:15] <elacheche> Kilos, I tried to be neutral and fair as I can in that email. I support you, I support Africa, but I should be neutral because the board is for all guys around the world!
[10:15] <Kilos> yeah
[10:17] <Kilos> nice mail elacheche  lets hope we all can agree on something
[10:20] <elacheche> :)
[10:44] <Kilos> i didnt become a member for the benefits
[10:44] <Kilos> was quite a while before i even knew there were any
[13:28] <elacheche> Kilos, think that my email will convince them?
[13:29] <Kilos> i hope so
[15:21] <ongolaBoy> hi :)
[15:21] <Kilos> you well ongolaBoy  ?
[15:22] <ongolaBoy> I'm a bit fine
[15:22] <Kilos> good
[15:23] <ongolaBoy> sometimes around :)
[15:23] <Kilos> yes i see, you arent here often but thats ok
[15:37] <Kilos> hi Benno-007
[15:40] <Kilos> hi philipballew  you well?
[15:43] <philipballew> Kilos, yes. Just very busy
[15:43] <philipballew> I am in my last month of university and it is hell, but i will survive
[15:43] <Kilos> good luck
[15:48] <Kilos> well done elacheche  now just to get them to add it
[15:49] <Kilos> hehe
[15:53] <elacheche> :)
[15:54] <Kilos> so weird, you said exactly what i did but added some visual effect
[15:54] <elacheche> I told you :)
[15:55] <Kilos> weird, maybe because i dont see well it doesnt affect me
[15:55] <elacheche> l00l.. You're already OK with the idea.. So you'll never understand how they read that email x)
[15:55] <Kilos> maybe they prefer dealing with the same generation
[15:56] <Kilos> lol
[15:56] <elacheche> Naah! Don't think that it's the problem..
[15:56] <Kilos> im happy to get some support
[15:58] <elacheche> I always support ides that I like.. At first I didn't care about it because it didn't affect me.. After that I thought that if any changes will be made so it needs to be in the good of ALL the community not only my good or za guys good.. :)
[15:59] <Kilos> lets see if they change it now, i dont know who does that
[16:00] <elacheche> Let's wait for some times :) To have all the answers from everybody :) :D ;) Then will make the sum of +1 & -1  and see
[16:01] <Kilos> haha
[16:10] <elacheche> Kilos, you know that 2/3 of the new LoCo council members are from Membership Board guys?
[16:10] <Kilos> yes, if i remember right toddy is also a new board member
[16:10] <Kilos> and wxl
[16:11] <elacheche> not toddy
[16:11] <elacheche> PabloRubianes
[16:11] <elacheche> PabloRubianes
[16:11] <elacheche> is the one
[16:11] <Kilos> i thought of applying but its all too much
[16:11] <Kilos> oh ya
