Neil,<br><br>Good afternoon.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/5/3 Neil Coetzer <<a href="mailto:ncoetzer@halsteds.co.zw">ncoetzer@halsteds.co.zw</a>>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> Hi Ronald,<br> <br> Ubuntu Zim regalia would be fantastic! One of the proposed priorities I mentioned was getting ourselves recognised as an official LoCo Team. One of the advantages of that would be access to the general Ubuntu regalia that is available from the Ubuntu shop. However, I think it would be fantastic to have custom Ubuntu Zim stuff done locally. Brilliant idea!!</div> </blockquote><div><br>I will run around and find out how much it costs. Ideas and graphic designs are most welcome. Does anyone have Ubuntu badges (we had a big roll, when we hosted Linux Expo two years ago? How do we get the badges from Canonical, I know they ship a few with the Linux CDs<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><br> <br> Which ftp site appears to be broken? The Yo!Africa one? I know Kalpesh said they had issues but they should be sorted out now.</div></blockquote><div><br>The Yo!Africa one <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><br> <br> I will have to check when I get back to work on Monday, where exactly I stored and backed up the site we were working on. I will advise on Monday.<br> <br> With regard to project-specific mailing lists:<br> <br> Some of the criteria that will eventually be used when we apply to become a recognised LoCo Team, is how active our mailing list and forum have been. For this reason alone, I think we would have to keep all project communications on the existing mailing list and forum. Can I suggest here that as an alternative, we make the forum the centre for project discussions, as we can have any number of dedicated threads there (which members can subscribe to so that they receive e-mail notifications of updates). The other advantage of this is that each project might also benefit from "outside" ideas which would not be possible on a closed mailing list. For example, even though a forum thread is dedicated to a particular project, it is still "open" to all, including members of the Ubuntu community in other countries who might have engaged in similar projects before. In this way we could benefit from outside input too, and wouldn't only be limited by the views/ideas of the team working on the project. </div> </blockquote><div><br>Great idea, I will start a thread on the regalia project. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div> <br> <br> Thanks for your vote of confidence regarding team leadership! Will reply more to that in my next message shortly.</div></blockquote><div><br>You are most welcome, good day, enjoy the rest of your weekend. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><br> <br> Regards,<br><font color="#888888"> Neil<br> <br> <br> </font></div><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> <br>-- <br>This message has been scanned for viruses and <br>dangerous content by <a href="http://www.mailscanner.info/" target="_blank"><b>MailScanner</b></a>, and is <br>believed to be clean. </div></div><br>--<br> Ubuntu-zw mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-zw@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-zw@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-zw" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-zw</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Ronald Munjoma<br>IT & Business Consultant<br>Act Business Solutions<br><br><a href="mailto:ronaldm@actbusinesssolutions.com">ronaldm@actbusinesssolutions.com</a><br> Cell: +263 11 632 444 <br><br>Adaptive Planning<br>Adaptive Planning Enterprise Edition V 4.0<br>Budgeting, Forecasting & Reporting Made Easy<br><a href="http://www.adaptiveplanning.com">www.adaptiveplanning.com</a><br> <br>Ubuntu<br>linux for human beings<br><a href="http://www.ubuntu-zw.org">www.ubuntu-zw.org</a>
