20:10:47 <czajkowski> commandoline: welcome
20:10:51 <czajkowski> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/marten-de-vries
20:10:57 <commandoline> thanks
20:11:00 <czajkowski> commandoline: care to tell us a little about yourself
20:11:22 <commandoline> Hello, I am Marten de Vries, and live in the Netherlands. My main Ubuntu contributions are in the Ubuntu Nederland loco team, mostly in its webteam and Mwanzo team. (The last of them helps users that want to start contributing to Ubuntu.)
20:11:23 * stgraber waves
20:11:31 <czajkowski> drubin: iulian ogra_ stgraber thanks
20:12:40 <czajkowski> commandoline: can you tell us some more about the Mwanzo team ?
20:13:03 <drubin> o/
20:13:16 <commandoline> Of course, it teaches Ubuntu users more about how to contribute to Ubuntu
20:13:28 <commandoline> e.g. via workshops (like the international Ubuntu classroom project)
20:13:52 <commandoline> but it's also the place where people are pointed to in the Dutch loco if they want to contribute but don't know how
20:14:20 <commandoline> so to our IRC channel
20:14:46 <czajkowski> commandoline: ca I ask why a seperate team from say the beginners team that already exists?
20:14:51 <czajkowski> *can
20:14:59 <commandoline> czajkowski: the difference is we support users in Dutch
20:15:17 <commandoline> * help, my English isn't perfect either :P
20:15:26 <czajkowski> that's fine
20:15:32 <drubin> commandoline: How does working on open  teacher differ from your work with ubuntu?
20:16:25 <commandoline> drubin: well, it's officially a separate project and this is about Ubuntu Membership. But of course it's in the repo's now thanks to porthose
20:16:53 <commandoline> and it's also opensource software, of which all main devs are Ubuntu NL community members at the moment.
20:18:00 <czajkowski> you mention the classroom project, do you see yourself getting more involved in the greater ubuntu wide community ?
20:18:01 <commandoline> czajkowski: for you question: it's not just helping in Dutch by the way, but also that all the wiki pages etc. are in dutch
20:18:07 <drubin> commandoline: that is why I asked how it differed. It is interesting to see how external projects make it into peoples work.
20:18:15 <iulian> commandoline: Let's say that I'm a new Dutch user who wants to contribute to Ubuntu but my English is not that good. How can I get in touch with Mwanzo? Do you guys have a place where you advertise it? How would I become aware of its existence?
20:18:22 <drubin> commandoline: Nice on it being a commnunity project.
20:18:29 * drubin is ready to vote btw
20:18:51 * ogra_ too,
20:18:53 <commandoline> so you just don't need to know a word of English, which some people in the netherlands don't.
20:18:56 <czajkowski> ogra_: stgraber iulian any more comments/questions?
20:18:59 <commandoline> drubin: ok
20:19:08 * stgraber is ready to vote
20:19:16 <Thomas_de_Graaff> \o/
20:19:18 <commandoline> iulian: well, you probably would go to the Ubuntu NL Forum
20:19:34 <commandoline> it's the place where most of the dutch community members are
20:19:43 <commandoline> often to get support when installing e.g.
20:19:50 <commandoline> there are links there to the mwanzo team
20:20:00 <commandoline> and even a subforum where we advertise what we do
20:20:19 <commandoline> so you'd see it via the dutch loco site
20:20:19 <iulian> commandoline: OK, brill. Thanks.
20:20:22 <iulian> czajkowski: Ready.
20:20:23 <commandoline> and also via IRC, maybe
20:20:26 <Ronnie> \o/
