[Ubuntu-ch] Language

[WaVeR]

Hi Folks,

+1 for Myriam and Pierre's mails.

I think we start loosing the goal of Ubuntu-CH, the main goal was a
centralized team, where everybody can read and know what happened on
other part in Switzerland related to Ubuntu. We share everything
together, on the beginning the Swiss-French part was more actif then the
Swiss-German part BUT we never forgot the goal. Don't forgot the first
release party and the seconde one,... and we never had this problem
about language.

As Myriam mentioned, If someone need a help so he can go to the specific
forum/channel regarding to the language.


When Ubuntu-CH was approved, it was clarified that it will be 


Some logs from the past for people who don't know the story of
Ubuntu-CH:


mai 29 23:39:08 <stgraber>      Good evening, I'm Stéphane Graber and
I'm here to represent the Ubuntu Swiss Team (Switzerland).

mai 29 23:39:11 <stgraber>      The Ubuntu Swiss Team was created more
than a year ago and now is mainly about organizing events like the
OpenExpo (having stands at computer shows and exhibitions), organizing
release parties and other coming-togethers.
mai 29 23:39:16 <stgraber>      We also provide support with our
mailing-list, IRC channel and our extensive list of local contact
persons spread all over Switzerland.
mai 29 23:39:19 <stgraber>      As we have 4 official languages here in
Switzerland, we've chosen English as our exchange language and then
people are mainly using language-specific forums for online-support and
our contact list for local-support.
mai 29 23:39:23 <stgraber>      Our wikipage is :
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam
mai 29 23:39:26 <stgraber>      and our Application :
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam/ApprovalApplication
mai 29 23:39:31 <Tribaal>       +1
mai 29 23:39:47 <dholbach>      I like the "Fondue for Human Beings" :-)
mai 29 23:39:53 <Tribaal>       hehehe
mai 29 23:39:56 <stgraber>      :)
mai 29 23:39:59 *       tormod waves virtual Swiss flags
mai 29 23:40:13 <mdke>  stgraber: I read the wiki pages - looks
excellent to me. I was wondering how your relationship with other teams
is; the question of overlapping languages is a really tricky one in the
Ubuntu community at the moment
mai 29 23:40:41 <JanC>  stgraber: sounds a bit like the Belgian team  :)
mai 29 23:40:44 <markvandenborre>       mdke, it works fairly well in
Belgium
mai 29 23:40:52 <stgraber>      yes, but with 4 languages in our case :)
mai 29 23:40:57 <welp>  swiss++
mai 29 23:40:58 <mdke>  markvandenborre: yeah, I know
mai 29 23:41:11 <mdke>  but we can learn more from each new team
mai 29 23:41:21 <tormod>        we (SwissTeam) focus on local
activities, not language-specific
mai 29 23:41:28 <stgraber>      well, basically the team only do the
on-site part of the support, which means meeting, release parties and
exhibitions, the on-line activities are directed to the others
communities like ubuntu-fr, ubuntu-it, ubuntu-de


To resume:

- organizing release parties and other coming-togethers.
- as we have 4 official languages here in Switzerland, we've chosen
English as our exchange language and then people are mainly using
language-specific forums for online-support and our contact list for
local-support.
- we (SwissTeam) focus on local activities, not language-specific
- team only do the on-site part of the support, which means meeting,
release parties and exhibitions, the on-line activities are directed to
the others communities like ubuntu-fr, ubuntu-it, ubuntu-de



So please, keep ubuntu-ch united. If someone need a help he can go to
the specific mailing-liste/forum for the language that he speak.

P.S: English is not my mother language, and I dont write it 100%
correctly, but it's the simple way to keep everybody on the ML informed.


Regards,
