[17:47:45]
<maiatoday>
very relaxing
[17:48:22]
<maiatoday>
I made the link to the facebook group on ubuntu-za.org so that item is done too
[17:48:24]

<nlsthzn>
nuvolari: welcome :)
[17:49:11]
<maiatoday>
any comments on fanpage vs group on facebook?
[17:49:28]
<nuvolari>
nlsthzn: thanks :>
[17:49:36]
<nuvolari>
I vote for fanpage
[17:49:37]
* nlsthzn
thinks facebook is evil and wishes diaspora will hurry up!
[17:49:48]
<superfly>
Maiatoday we raised it previously
[17:49:56]
<nuvolari>
we do most of the "group" management in other ways
[17:50:00]
<maiatoday>
yes I am going through the previous minutes
[17:50:30]
<DraZoro>
I vote for fanpage as well.
[17:50:44]
<smorar>
I vote for fanpage too
[17:50:52]
<superfly>
A group doesn't actually work that well, but a fan page is stuck to one particular person, and you have to ask FB to fix it
[17:50:55]
<nlsthzn>
the minustes seem a bit inconplete (as far as I can see)
[17:51:01]
<maiatoday>
ok well I am not going to do more facebook maintence than what we currently do, if anyone wants to change this and has experience they are welcome to help out with this
[17:51:05]
<nlsthzn>
*minutes *incomplete
[17:51:20]
<superfly>
But yes, a fan page is much better
[17:51:41]
<superfly>
Maiatoday i can create a page
[17:51:49]
<maiatoday>
great!
[17:52:07]
<maiatoday>
Maaz_: Agreed superfly will make a fanpage for ubuntu-za
[17:52:07]
<Maaz>
Agreed: superfly will make a fanpage for ubuntu-za
[17:52:33]
<superfly>
(when I have Internet again)
[17:52:39]
[17:52:39]
* DraZoro

[18:02:21]
<nuvolari>
