<newz2000> Can someone remind me how to become operator in my channel?
<jpds> newz2000: See: /msg ChanServ help op
<newz2000> thanks jpds
<jpds> Welcome.
<newz2000> Does anyone mind if I add instructions on becoming op and deop to the OperatorGuidelines page?
<jpds> newz2000: I was just thinking of doing likewise.
 * newz2000 doing it now
<newz2000> done: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/OperatorGuidelines

<unafilliate> Hello friends
<unafilliate> anyone can help me regarding ubuntu channels ownership ?
<ompaul> it is owned by the irc council
<unafilliate> ompaul : then is there any way to be a part of irc council , cause i want to help my country fellows , cause the website is down , and the only source available is irc , unfortuantely that is also so running
<unafilliate> *so = no
<unafilliate> i believe i can do help , as i have regular free time and i have done lot of help on websites , also i m offering first free LAMP based ubuntu powered shells , for project proof https://launchpad.net/~paracha and my portal http://shellweb.net ,
<unafilliate> ompaul : Can you tell where should i go and ask for #ubuntu-pk , cause i m really intrested to run it
<unafilliate> hii Ekushey
<Ekushey> hi unafilliate  :)
<unafilliate> hello
<unafilliate> :)
<unafilliate> how are you
<ompaul> unafilliate, I am not in a position to affect what you are talking about
<unafilliate> no problem
<unafilliate> thats always been happening since long with 3rd world countries
<unafilliate> i am use to of it
<unafilliate> :)
<Ekushey> i'm doing fine, thanks for asking, unafilliate :)
<Ekushey> how are you?
<unafilliate> I am fine too , thanks for your reply
<unafilliate> :)
<Ekushey> no problem unafilliate :)
<unafilliate> :)
<unafilliate> Ekushey : I need to know , how i can get operator status for ubuntu loco irc channel (ubuntu-pk) to start help my country men ,
<Ekushey> unafilliate, you don't actually need to get op access to help
<jussi01> what does pk stand for??
<Ekushey> in most channels on this networks you'll see channels with not ops... look at this channel :)
<Ekushey> jussi01, pakistan
<jussi01> ahh
<jussi01> unafilliate: Ekushey is right - you dont need op status to help
<unafilliate> oright
<unafilliate> :)

<morgs> jpds: OK, will do
<raj> what is  "unaffiliated cloak" mean
<Myrtti> nothing much
<jpds> raj: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
<Myrtti> it just hides your hostname/ip
<raj> k
<Nafallo> Philip5: ja.
<Philip5> sÃ¥g vad du skrev men var tvungen att dra
<Philip5> men hÃ¤ngde inte med orsaken Ã¤ven om jag lÃ¤ste lite logg nu
<Philip5> gammal bekant?
<Nafallo> Philip5: knappast. vilsen 12-aring snarare.
<Philip5> aha
<Nafallo> Philip5: blivit bannad fran massa publika kanaler.
<Philip5> trodde du stÃ¶tt pÃ¥ honom tidigare
<Myrtti> han var ju i #ubuntu i gÃ¥r
<Philip5> aha
<Philip5> kÃ¤nner inte igen honom
<Philip5> jag irriterar mig mest pÃ¥ korvmacka eller vad han kallar sig
<Philip5> fast han Ã¤r rÃ¤tt harmlÃ¶st bara grÃ¤nslÃ¶st offtopic
<Myrtti> hade "om jag kan inte gÃ¶ra saker dÃ¤rfÃ¶r att du har dina reglen, ska jag bÃ¶rja min EGEN kanal med mina EGNA reglen!"
<Philip5> och mest att han inte pratar om annat Ã¤n just offtopicgrejer, anvÃ¤nder inte linux eller sÃ¥ heller
<Myrtti> och sen annoncerade det pÃ¥ massa kanal
<Philip5> gÃ¶r han sÃ¥nt Ã¤r det ju bara att banna honom
<Nafallo> Philip5: inte sett den.
<Nafallo> Myrtti: precis. testar granser osv... :-)
<Myrtti> men det var ju inte i -se
<Philip5> Nafallo: han Ã¤r vÃ¤l rÃ¤tt harmlÃ¶s men verkar allmÃ¤nt konstig bara
<Nafallo> Philip5: fair enough
<Philip5> Nafallo: vill du ha nÃ¥gra typiska korvmackor sÃ¥ du hÃ¤nger med vad jag menar...
<Philip5> :D
<Nafallo> Philip5: sure.
<Nafallo> Philip5: inte?
<Philip5> dyker in i kanalen och sÃ¤nger inget annat Ã¤n frÃ¥gor som: <korvmacka>	Vem Ã¤r/vad "Abel Hamid"?  <korvmacka>	Finns det ens en enda tidning i Sverige utan reklam?   <korvmacka>	Finns det nÃ¥got sÃ¤tt att "tvinga fram" rÃ¶stbrevlÃ¥dan fÃ¶r ett mobiltelefonnummer?  <korvmacka>	Kollar Arlanda och Viking Line upp en innan man fÃ¥r komma ombord? AlltsÃ¥... om man har nÃ¥got otalt med polisen?  <korvmacka>	Ãr "avgrÃ¤vning" ett svenskt ord?
<Philip5> Nafallo: jo men jag letade igenom loggen
<Philip5> Ã¤sch, var inte sÃ¥ kul nÃ¤r man tar dem ur sitt sammanhang
<Nafallo> ehrm... precis. later offtopic
<Philip5> hur som helst sÃ¥ stÃ¶r jag mig pÃ¥ att han loggar in och slÃ¤nger ur sig sÃ¥dana dÃ¤r frÃ¥gor och sedan fÃ¶ljer inte upp dem
<Philip5> och pratar aldrig om annat
<Philip5> en grej om man Ã¤r stammis i kanalen och frÃ¥gar sÃ¥nt i fÃ¶rbifarten
<Nafallo> mjo. precis.
<Philip5> men att liksom bara hej hopp
<Nafallo> komma in bara for offtopic ar inte lika okay :-)

<serkan`c> hello
<nalioth> serkan`c: here is where you can ask your questions pertaining to Ubuntu and Kubuntu and the other official channels
<serkan`c> i am not asking an ubuntu channel problem :D
<serkan`c> but thank you so much
<nalioth> what are you asking?
<TiredWolf> how to get a channel out of his /whois list
<nalioth>   /msg chanserv help           /msg chanserv help set                      will show you your options
<serkan`c> yep
<serkan`c> i looked there of course
<TiredWolf> actually, it's more like /mode +s
<serkan`c> but first i thought private does that, misunderstood
<nalioth> there are two different settings
<nalioth> a channel mode and a channel flag
<nalioth> they both do similar things
<serkan`c> ok +s isnt the flag? am i right?
<serkan`c> it is mode
<TiredWolf> +s is a mode
<serkan`c> ok what is the equiavalent flag?
<TiredWolf> locking +s into chanserv makes it a flag, i guess
<nalioth> it does not
<TiredWolf> well yes, mlock is a flag
<nalioth> +s will keep your channel off the /whois of others
<serkan`c> so the only way is setting the +s flag?
<nalioth> for your purpose, yes
<TiredWolf> or setting yourself +i
<TiredWolf> but then everyone else in the channel has to do that too, if you want nobody to show up
<nalioth> that won't hide the channel (if he's the owner)
<serkan`c> i was actually +i
<serkan`c> ohh
<serkan`c> this is the problem i guess
<TiredWolf> i really doubt you are +i
<TiredWolf> since i see #freenode #tuxhacker #ubuntu-irc #ubuntu-locoteams #turklug
<serkan`c> * [serkan`c] is signed on as account heartsmagic
<TiredWolf> and i'm only in #ubuntu-irc and #freenode
<serkan`c> it is normal TiredWolf
<serkan`c> not all the channels +s i am in
<TiredWolf> +i doesn't mean "identified"
<TiredWolf> it means "invisible"
<serkan`c> oh!
<serkan`c> but i dont want to be invisible for all the channels
<nalioth> serkan`c: +e is identified
<TiredWolf> then +s is the way
<serkan`c> poor me :D
<serkan`c> yeash +s is so good for my purpose
<TiredWolf> just, if you want it to stay, /msg chanserv set #channel mlock on
<TiredWolf> eh, what did i say
<TiredWolf> just, if you want it to stay, /msg chanserv set #channel mlock +s
<serkan`c> yes i did it like that
<TiredWolf> still, i have my doubts on the usefulness of making an ops' channel secret
<TiredWolf> but, whatever suits you i guess
<serkan`c> it is the mod channel
<serkan`c> not for a regular user, we have an official channel for that
<TiredWolf> and the people here have #ubuntu, yet #ubuntu-irc isn't secret
<serkan`c> but is not just mod channel :D
<serkan`c> actually i see your point
<TiredWolf> well actually yes it is
<TiredWolf> it says "International Ubuntu IRC operators channel"
<serkan`c> oh according the desc. on topic, yes it is
<serkan`c> but isnt it preferrable?
<TiredWolf> look, if you want to keep it private, keep it private. but if regular users have an issue to discuss with you mods, or operators as you prefer... then it's generally better to discuss it in a dedicated channel, than to clutter the main support channel
<serkan`c> actually i didnt create this channel for this purpose, we talk those in the regular channel but this is not a serious problem, i can make it -s
<TiredWolf> you can make it as you prefer, as far as i know, i was merely suggesting
<serkan`c> so this is an oppinion and i can see your point
<serkan`c> btw thanks for helping both TiredWolf and nalioth
<myrtlebeachbums> Hey guys - anyone got a minute for some questions on an Ubuntu cloak?
<Myrtti> sure
<Myrtti> shoot
<myrtlebeachbums> Okay. So I've registered my nick, I'm an Ubuntero, and I'm a member of two teams. Is that what I need for a cloak, and if not what else do I need? (I RTFM'd, and I think I'm good but I thought I'd ask to make sure.)
<myrtlebeachbums> https://launchpad.net/~myrtlebeachbums
<Myrtti> you need to be not only Ubuntero, but an Ubuntu member
<RoAkSoAx> myrtlebeachbums, what you need to obtain a cloak is become an Official Ubuntu Member: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership
<myrtlebeachbums> Gotcha. A little more work to do. :) Thanks guys. I'll work on that and bug you some time in the future. I appreciate the help.
<jpds> myrtlebeachbums: Good luck!

<Nehyx> Hello, I was banned from #ubuntu-es 1 or 2 moths ago by erUSUL, I flooded, and staff k-line me. Right now I want request an unban. I won't flood more, and I will be good guy with people.
<niko> before, did you process with freenode about the k-line ?
<Nehyx> yes
<Nehyx> I am unklined
<niko> just wait for erUSUL so
<Nehyx> niko: ok, thanks
<erUSUL> i will wait for Nehyx to tell all the story of his continous (for years with different nicks hosts) floods personal attacks and everything he has done. When he has related all this to the irc council (mailing list) i will consider an unban. Maybe he can tell us how he started flooding in oftc network spanish linux related channels promissing to stop if someone there got my password for him.
<niko> sound like bad Nehyx :)
<erUSUL> i'm sick an tired of this "person" and i will not unban him unless told directly by someone with the authority to do so.
<Nehyx> niko: yes :S
<erUSUL> many other ops and users in this ntework has suffered him for years. if i were a staffer he will be still klined. is all i have to say

<[Green]> hi
<bazhang> hi
<A4Tech> bazhang: We need more fat ban list:)
<[Green]> bazhang: ops of the #ubuntu-ru wish to ask to set +L on the channel #ubuntu-ru
<[Green]> we often do not have a limit 50
<niko> you should use akick
<niko> we do that on #ubuntu-fr*
<bazhang> is 50 too small?
<niko> and now we don't need +L
<niko> also use temporary ban
<niko> with a bot
<[Green]> bazhang: sometimes
<A4Tech> niko akick, I think this is the last way out
<bazhang> [Green], sometimes better to quiet and chat, then dont need to ban
<niko> A4Tech: depends, normaly we use bot for temporary ban
<bazhang> [Green], +m user and PM
<niko> when akick needed
<niko> we vote with other ops
<niko> bazhang: or +b and forward to op channel
<bazhang> A4Tech, is smiges a big problem?
<niko> better than +m
<[Green]> bazhang: we try
<A4Tech> smiges ?
<bazhang> [Green], true it does not always work
<bazhang> A4Tech, he has been banned for more than a month, came in here the other day asking to be unbanned
<bazhang> 6/23 banned iirc
<A4Tech> bazhang: http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=44379.msg470355#msg470355 2 page...
<bazhang> A4Tech, [Green] if you feel setting channel limit is the best option, then you know the channel much better than me
<bazhang> A4Tech, you guys have turned that channel around to be very good, so I believe in you 100%
<niko> A4Tech: or put +R mode
<A4Tech> bazhang That's good, so we turned to you, that would make it even better:)
<A4Tech> niko Already
<A4Tech> How would it not sound ... but the Russians have a character of ... very bad
<bazhang> A4Tech, if you feel that is best then I think you should try it out
<A4Tech> some people
<bazhang> A4Tech, not really bad; just not used to IRC rules and protocol
<bazhang> A4Tech, believe me, badly behaved users are in *all* channels
<A4Tech> bazhang No no, this is specifically
<bazhang> A4Tech, I understand, some really *problem* users
<bazhang> just want to make trouble/troll
<bazhang> A4Tech, [Green] if you need to discuss more, or have already decided, then please let me know what you decide, or if you need any assistance
<A4Tech> bazhang: The fact that the problem is not solved, it is 100%, and from it we will have to leave the more complex methods.
<bazhang> A4Tech, they are multiple ban evaders
<[Green]> bazhang: we have tried all methods, except +L
<bazhang> [Green], then it seems a way to try
<A4Tech> Yes, it would be easiest.
<bazhang> we can't spend *all* our time on IRC :)
<A4Tech> bazhang Who is it really much
<A4Tech> ;)
<bazhang> A4Tech, [Green] whatever you decide is best I am supporting you 100%

<[Green]> yeah )

<bazhang> ubuntuhelp is GREAT!
<bazhang> :)
<A4Tech> thx)
<bazhang> I have to go eat dinner right now (or I will get in trouble) :)
<bazhang> talk to you later guys :)
<A4Tech> .. and
<A4Tech> Okay, suppose I have to clear the ban list, and then comes a man who blocked the ball and I have to block it again, he goes on, the board and there crying for a couple of pages. What to do? because I was forced to lift the ban that would exempt for another person
<A4Tech> bazhang ^
<bazhang> A4Tech, yep, I understand it; I read that page
<bazhang> A4Tech, seems +L it is then
<A4Tech> This applies not only to the page you are reading at the moment
<bazhang> but I reaaally need to eat dinner now :)
<bazhang> talk more about this later, OK?
<A4Tech> ok

<niko> ubottu without cloak
<ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about without cloak
<elky> oh wow, it woke up finally
<elky> lets hope that sends it to #ubuntu
<elky> wheeee, it did
<nhandler> elky: Very interesting way to make it join another channel. And that could be abused by someone else.
<elky> someone who needs to have op access, but yes.
<nhandler> elky: Well, they don't need to be an Ubuntu OP. They just need to be an OP in a channel where ubottu has joined
<elky> yes, and we tend to be watchful over where we let it join to begin with. if it's abused it gets retracted from channels.
<Myrtti> emergency situations call for emergency deeds
<elky> indeed
<Flare183> The bot is down
<niko> elky: ubottu down, look like

<swoody> what are the benefits to using the /member/ubuntu/ cloak?
<elky> street cred
<swoody> I thought there were some real, tangible things... some permissions or abilities? o.O
<erUSUL> swoody: some chans have the cloak in access list ...
<swoody> outside of that though? that's about it?
<rww> 1) Street cred, 2) ops in a handful of places, 3) crippling guilt whenever you violate the CoC on IRC
<erUSUL> swoody: what do you have in mind ? a oak wand with unicorn hair so you can do some magic? XXDD
<swoody> that would have been nice... :(
<swoody> lol, no I was just curious is all :)
<rww> erUSUL: how did you find out about our magical abilities?!

<Pici> If you are, please share your launchpad ID and I'll get you setup.
<daif> I can't remember ,, yes
<daif> I want ubuntu irc hostmask

<Pici> popey: Thanks
<popey> np
<daif> ok,  Danke
<Ddorda> there should be a command to all that msg, it's being said too much
<Ddorda> something like !cloak > to get a cloak you should become an Ubuntu member. for more details: !member
<Ddorda> or something like that
<bazhang> there is one for cloak already
<Ddorda> bazhang: so why you guys not using it?
<bazhang> Ddorda, we do
<bazhang> !cloak

<Pici> I don't think we need to explain the membership thing that often.
<bazhang> not that many ubuntu users to justify a special factoid for
<bazhang> err members
<Ddorda> bazhang: well i see that question being asked quite often...
<bazhang> I defer to the factoid overlords :)
<erUSUL> Pici: it seems odd that we have the !nicksetup factoid but not the one Ddorda wants. the later is more often needed than the later...
<erUSUL> Pici: it seems odd that we have the !nicksetup factoid but not the one Ddorda wants. the later is more often needed than the former ... obviously

<ubottu> To setup your nick so that you can be given a cloak, please follow the instructions here: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
<elky> It's also more polite to take a moment to type something out if it's not a rushed thing
<Pici> Agreed.
<daif> popey: I am a member of the Arab Translation Team

<daif> can I get ubuntu irc hostmask
<popey> no
<popey> only ubuntu members can

<phillw> Hi, who / where should I ask about having a channel logger installed?
<moshe742> hey there, can you please get me cloaked? i am a new member of ubuntu and my wiki page is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Moshenahmias
<Tm_T> phillw: which channel is this? there's current usage of the bots in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots
<moshe742> i want also the ability to use my ubuntu e-mail and as i understand it you can help by making it happen (correct me if i'm wrong)
<phillw> Tm_T it is for #lubuntu, we have recently gotten an ubot, but adding the logging would allow people to search through the logs for answers etc.
<phillw> at present it is a bit more dependant on my being logged on all the time (which I cannot be) and keeping a set of logs on my own system, which is of no help if I am not active.
<Tm_T> moshe742: IIRC your "ubuntu email" should already work
<moshe742> how can i check that?
<Tm_T> moshe742: send test email to <lpaccountname>@ubuntu.com
<moshe742> as i understand i can't send a mail to the ubuntu mail if its re-directed to the same account, is this right?
<pleia2> moshe742: if you're using gmail, yeah, gmail will eat the message you sent to yourself
<rww> phillw: The bot's called ubuntulog, and you'd want to email the Canonical sysadmins at rt@ubuntu.com to get #lubuntu added to its channel list.
<phillw> thanks rww
<Tm_T> rww: you quick, you (:
<pleia2> moshe742: I'll send you a test email if you'd like :)
<moshe742> i would like it:)
<pleia2> there you go
<phillw> while I am here, I've been told I should ask to be 'cloaked', why should I want to do that?
 * phillw waves at pleia2 :-)
<pleia2> hey phillw :)
<phillw> I'm still busy learning :-)
<pleia2> phillw: you can go to #freenode to get an unaffiliated cloak
<pleia2> (have to be an ubuntu member before you get an ubuntu cloak)
<rww> phillw: cloaking hides your IP address from other users, and expresses affiliation with a project (if you have a project cloak like ubuntu/member/whatever). They're entirely optional, though.
<moshe742> so now you will give me an ubuntu cloak?
<pleia2> moshe742: a council member needs to see it and then pass it along to staff, just be patient until one of them comes by :)
<phillw> pleia2: I've not got testimonails from ubuntu people on my wiki page yet to ask for ubuntu membership :-\ Seems all the people I know are not ubuntu members :-\
<pleia2> phillw: people don't need to be ubuntu members to give you testimonials :)
<rww> topyli, Pici, jussi: cloak request for https://launchpad.net/~moshegrey ^^^
<moshe742> so should i stay here till such time or he/she will see it any way eventually?
<pleia2> moshe742: yep
<moshe742> yep to staying?
<pleia2> yes
<pleia2> sorry
<moshe742> ok, so what are their names? or which council do you mean?
<phillw> pleia2: hmm, that was what I read as it being. let me go do this ask for the log-bot and I'll try catch up with you when you are less busy, on a quieter channel. (tries to stay on topic :-) )
<pleia2> moshe742: the people rww just called to look at your request
<pleia2> the IRC Council
<moshe742> ah, ok, thanks:)
<moshe742> and i got the mail so it works, thanks:)

<Unit193> Yes, please ask your question
<noob2> So i was in ubuntu-offtopic
<noob2> and i said someone was stupid
<noob2> 2 mods let me off with a warning
<noob2> a third mod then said "Your lucky it wasnt me, dont mock people"
<noob2> I then said I wasnt mocking him, and there was a difference between that and what i did
<noob2> he then banned me
<noob2> I dont know of any rule i voliated by telling him that
<Unit193> Who exactly was this? I think you take it up with him, but wait for someone to tell you for sure (Now that we have your info)
<noob2> the mod?
<Unit193> Yes.
<noob2> I'd have to see the log
<Unit193> elky, bazhang?
<noob2> can i get a list of mods for #ubuntu-offtopic I could pick his/her name from list
<noob2> It wasnt elky or bazhang I think
<Unit193> !ban
<ubottu> If you have been banned it is probably because you have not gone along with what is acceptable !behaviour. If you're not sure what acceptable !behaviour is please see !Etiquette and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines - If you think the ban was a mistake, please join #ubuntu-ops

<MkZx^> hello
<MkZx^> So we have this channel #ubuntu-lv for Latvian ubuntu community. The problem is there are no one left with OP mode, we really need to gain OP mode for one person. Because this channel is still active.
<Myrtti> so does theLatvian loco have a launchpad page?
<MkZx^> I think no
<Myrtti> or any other documented leadership?
<MkZx^> no
<Myrtti> just an irc channel?
<MkZx^> yes, there are only 4-5 persons active, not much, so we need a channel where can we communicate about ubuntu.
<JoseeAntonioR> Myrtti: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-lv/+members#active
<MkZx^> I never saw anyone from this list in #ubuntu-lv channel
<Myrtti> the question is why arent the channel users on that list ;-) j/k
<JoseeAntonioR> :P
<MkZx^> So, these people can be ops in #ubuntu-lv channel
<MkZx^> What to do if they likely gave up with ubuntu, and will not use this channel no more? :)
<JoseeAntonioR> Myrtti: seems like kangarooo is the team lead, but last seen on IRC 3 weeks ago
<JoseeAntonioR> although he has been recently active on LP
<MkZx^> interesting
<Myrtti> MkZx^: Im not saying they can be, but that its usually better and a stronger claim if you look like you are one cohesive group
<Myrtti> instead of just interested individuals
<Myrtti> it's not my personal decision though, in fact I have no say inthe subject
<JoseeAntonioR> IRCC decision
<MkZx^> So, you are saying that I should wait for that person to login and talk with him to provide any support for channel... (grand hop or something)
<Myrtti> irc council, that is
<JoseeAntonioR> MkZx^: You can talk to the irc council, they may be able to help
<MkZx^> oh, crap one @OP just logged in, problem seems solved. :)
<MkZx^> unexpected solution
<MkZx^> ok, thanks for your support anyway.
<JoseeAntonioR> hope you can solve it
<jpds> Sod's law.
<MkZx^> well, I don't need that @op, if he will be there, then no problem should arise. Also, I am not ubuntu fan, I am using Gentoo for more than year now.
<MkZx^> So I guess you will kick me now...
<MkZx^> :)
<Myrtti> nope
<Myrtti> you can idle here as long as you want
<MkZx^> But I did started with ubuntu. Back when it was 8.04 version I guess.
<MkZx^> Was reading that ubuntu bible, and was quite impressed how awesome it is. Eh, good, old memories. :)

<JoseeAntonioR> what? floodbot1 kicked floodbot4 in #u-unregged
<IdleOne> lol, happens sometimes
<IdleOne> You pay way more attention to that channel then is needed :)
<JoseeAntonioR> I pay attention to all channels ;) but yeah, I may be a little exagerated sometimes
<IdleOne> What I mean is to say is that channel is used as a control channel. It isn't high on anybodies priority list.
<IdleOne> wow. that is the ugliest sentence I have typed today
<JoseeAntonioR> :P
<Unit193> That is to say, everyone pretty much ignores that channel as it basically manages itself, or by the floodbots.
<IdleOne> pretty much
<IdleOne> JoseeAntonioR: LJL is going to be doing a class on the various bots and what they do in a couple of weeks. You may be interested in attending.
<IdleOne> it might even explain why sometimes floodbotX kicks floodbotY
<JoseeAntonioR> yeah, I'll surely attend
<JoseeAntonioR> that's already on my calendar :)

<ubottu> I know nothing about oggcamp yet, IdleOne
<IdleOne> hmm
<genii-around> Does lubotu3 use some different db ?
<Pici> it should get synced eventually
<IdleOne> right but she doesn't no anything about it so
<IdleOne> !oggcamp is <reply> is a two day unconference on August 18th/19th 2012 - see http://oggcamp.org/
<ubottu> I'll remember that, IdleOne
<IdleOne> !oggcamp
<ubottu> is a two day unconference on August 18th/19th 2012 - see http://oggcamp.org/
<IdleOne> she knows now
<IdleOne> s/no/know
<LoT> how much of an interaction does the IRCC / IRC team have with team channels?
<LoT> specifically with "emergency moderation" and the likes
<IdleOne> as much or as little as that team wants
<LoT> so basically the same as freenode staff, such that "If we're not on the ACL, we won't help." ?
<IdleOne> the ircc needs to be added to the access list of course and team channels can always join #ubuntu-ops and ask if some ops would be willing to idle in their channel.
<IdleOne> LoT: Not exactly, the IRCC is always willing to help but without access they can't.
<LoT> but basically you'd need ACL access first (ChanServ)(
<LoT> indeed.
<LoT> that basically answers the question
<LoT> thanks
<IdleOne> right, the ircc can ask staff to add them if they really need it
<LoT> indeed, being the contact(s) for the #ubuntu namespace
<LoT> thanks, that answers the question
<IdleOne> I should point out that freenode staff is also willing to be helpful. I didn't mean to imply they weren't
<Fuchs> we aren't
<IdleOne> ha
<LoT> heh
<IdleOne> LoT: yeah, if  team channel needs/wants ops but doesn't have anybody they know, they can join -ops and ask us to join and add a few of us to the ACL.
<LoT> IdleOne: as an aside, its kind of hard when the team's ops are both offline :P
<LoT> hence the question
<LoT> (not the case atm, but at the time it was an issue, well...)
<IdleOne> ah, well if that is an ongoing issue the IRCC should be made aware and maybe they offer to help the team.
<IdleOne> long story short. We are here to serve.
<LoT> indeed.
<LoT> IdleOne: i dont see it as a common issue, but the team in question is the beginners team.  strangely enough there's a bunch of people who forward the newbies to -beginners, and there was a spammer in there... um...
<LoT> it was either yesterday or two days ago
<LoT> and nobody was on, so...
 * LoT shrugs
<Fuchs> oh, as a sidenote, in order to have staff help, one should put us with the *!*@freenode/staff/*  mask on the ACL. Else we will be quite a bit more hesitant, as we respect channel owners decision to not have us intervene in their channel
<Fuchs> unless, of course, network policy is broken or other emergencies
<IdleOne> ah, well I believe pleia2 has some influence for that team, maybe mention it to her and she can take it to the people who need to know ?
<LoT> Fuchs: indeed, the person who reported the spam said, basically, "To hell with that"
<LoT> when i mentioned "poke #freenode"
<LoT> Fuchs: since *!*@freenode/staff/* is on the ACL
<pleia2> IdleOne: not really anymore, and I don't have ops or anything there
<LoT> IdleOne: i can poke bodhi, he's got significant influence as well (i have to poke him about some Debian things anyways0
<Fuchs> if it is, and the person is an obvious spammer, chances are  good that we do act if people poke us
<IdleOne> pleia2: sorry to have pinged you about it then
<Fuchs> we just prefer local ops to handle things if possible. But if none are around, and we are on the ACL, sure, poke us
<IdleOne> LoT: well there ya go. :)
<LoT> IdleOne: indeed.
<IdleOne> I remember being turned off by -beginners when it first started out. I found it a little insulting that I had to jump through hoops to be "accepted" in the team.
<IdleOne> I left soon after
<LoT> heh
<pleia2> they got rid of their membership process, but it's a pretty quiet team these days
<IdleOne> I just feel the only membership we should have to apply for is Ubuntu membership. Team/LoCo should be open to all and not require a formal process to be part of.
<Unit193> Staff are on the ACL, and have stepped in before.
<LjL> IdleOne: so any ubuntu member could be in the ops team without a process? :P
<IdleOne> LjL: every rule has an exception of course
<IdleOne> being an op is different from being a part of a loco
<LoT> indeed
<IdleOne> LjL: also, becoming and op in the Ubuntu-ops team requires that the person, if not an Ubuntu member officially, might as well be one because they already have showed they can be.
<IdleOne> s/and/an/
<IdleOne> Which I believe is probably one of the reasons why the IRCC was given the authority to grant membership :)
<IdleOne> Now I must reboot and hope this latest update has not broken my system
 * Fuchs wishes IdleOne good luck
<IdleOne> You may now uncross your toes. Thank you for your assistance
<Tm_T> IdleOne: uh, I need some assistance, some of my toes are on cramp due to holding them crossed too long
<Fuchs> Tm_T: I recommend hydrochloric acid
 * IdleOne gets the moisturizing cream and bath salts
<IdleOne> Tm_T: put your footsies in this tub of boiling water please
<Tm_T> IdleOne: salt and pepper, yes?
 * LoT puts a bag of uknownsubstance into the boiling water
<IdleOne> and a little garlic powder
<Tm_T> sounds delicious
<Tm_T> smells too!
 * IdleOne peels potatoes and carrots too
<Fuchs> if you remove the feet, yes. Cheese is eugh :(
<IdleOne> We is gonna eat good tonight
<Tm_T> IdleOne: ...yes it's good you can get membership from this lot
<Unit193> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCCouncil/TeamReports Oi, that's a bit stale...
<philballew> To add my current nic to my group with my member cloak, what would I do, or is there any thing I can /msg to find out how?
<Fuchs> sure,  /msg nickserv help group
<Fuchs> you need to be identified to your account and on the nick you want to group
<Fuchs> so   /msg nickserv identify yourmainnick yourpassword     and then the group command

<JoseeAntonioR> m4v: have a minute?
<m4v> JoseeAntonioR: yep
<JoseeAntonioR> m4v: mind a PM?
<m4v> go ahead
<IdleOne> robotfuel: you need to present when the cloak is applied, if you can leave your client in here one of the IRCC members will get to it ASAP.
<IdleOne> to be*
<robotfuel> IdleOne: ok I'll be here for a few more minutes but will probably have to try again  :)
<JoseeAntonioR> guys, what about having a !council factoid to call the IRCC in cases as cloak requests?
<IdleOne> they all highlight on IRCC
<Unit193> On IRCC, or IrCc?
<JoseeAntonioR> oh, then, sorry for highlighting you, guys
<m4v> yeah, please don't highlight the IRCC
<m4v> the IRCC is pretty busy.
<IdleOne> I think that if we are going to highlight the IRCC we should only do it when absolutely necessary
<IdleOne> Otherwise highlighting the IRCC is annoying.
<IdleOne> We wouldn't want to annoy the IRCC
<JoseeAntonioR> Or create an IRCC factoid to get them annoyed more easily
<IdleOne> you can suggest one so that the ircc can be easily annoyed
<IdleOne> err I mean highlighted, the ircc that is.
<JoseeAntonioR> :P
<nhandler> From what I have seen, the council is usually pretty good about checking in here and actioning cloak requests. The only time there are delays is when none of them are online (in which case, a factoid won't help).
<IdleOne> nhandler: +1
<IdleOne> nhandler: Am I corrct in thinking that the user needs to be online and active for the cloak to be applied?
<IdleOne> or at least online
<JoseeAntonioR> IdleOne: yep, the user needs to be identified
<nhandler> IdleOne: In most cases, we prefer the user to be online and identified to confirm the cloak request (once it has been made by a GC to freenode staff). However, many staff do idle in here, so if they have logs of the user requesting the cloak (while identified), they might just go ahead and cloak once the gc ack's the request (even if the user is offline/away). However, it ultimately comes down to the staffer's discretion

<JoseeAntonioR> done now
<IdleOne> update done.
<JoseeAntonioR> great, thanks
<nhandler> IdleOne: You might be better off using the list of freenode/staff/* people who idle in -ops. That should give you a more reliable and up-to-date list of people.
<IdleOne> yeah, you know. I'm in Olympic mode and not so much into factoid editing more

<MooDoo> hello all
<hggdh> staff: around? We need a new cloak
<hggdh> er. Pricey, can you help (or otherwise, how do I signal staff)?
<Fuchs> hggdh: 1) check /stats p
<Fuchs> hggdh: 2) if empty:  check #freenode  (or -gab, if you are invited there)
<Pici> (just stop by #freenode and ask if there are any staffers for a GC request.)
<niko> ?
<Fuchs> oh, a wild niko, that also works
<hggdh> Fuchs, Pici: thank you.
 * Fuchs hits hggdh with a cluebat
<Fuchs> hggdh: niko is staff, he replied here, silly :p
<Fuchs> anyway, both will work
<Pici> silly
<Fuchs> now you got a gheraint instead. Ah well.
 * hggdh see stars & planets, and the clues
<hggdh> ah
<Fuchs> Pici: I need a pon^W fuchs factoid!
<hggdh> go figure
<Pici> !pony
<Pici> !pony-#ubuntu-offtopic
<ubottu> PONY! Ponyponyponyponypony! http://windowseat.ca/images/monster_pony.jpg - NO PONIES FOR YOU!
<hggdh> niko: can you please set an Ubuntu mask for sgclark (~scarlett@unaffiliated/sgclark)?
<Fuchs> hggdh: you should tell them what cloak to set, e.g.  ubuntu/member/sgclark
<Pici> aye
<Fuchs> hggdh: the non-ubuntu affiliated staffers might not know the default ubuntu format
<hggdh> Fuchs: I will keep on learning...
<Fuchs> (well, technically they can look it up, but you'll do them a huge favour by giving 2 pieces of information:  1) the user to cloak  2) the actual cloak.   It also helps if that user is online, because for most projects staff does have to ask the user if the cloak is fine or not)
<Fuchs> hggdh: indeed, as that it was intended, in case of it not coming across as friendly and helpful
<hggdh> Fuchs: ah, no, absolutely helpful. I do appreciate the help
<Fuchs> lovely
<Fuchs> anyway, usual approach is find a staffer  (/stats p is best, then #freenode or -gab (for that you'd need an invex, not sure if ubuntu can be arsed to get these for every ircc member), then in here), then tell them who to cloak with what cloak, and best is to ensure that the user is online beforehand, because staff will contact them and ask whether they agree with that cloak
<hggdh> aff
<Pici> Fuchs: thanks
<Fuchs> all of this is fixed soonâ¢  when the new GMS is ready, which will give you a web frontend for all that
<hggdh> ack. Better wait, then, no matter what, since sgclark does not seem to be in
<Pici> I wonder if Half Life 3 will come out before the GMS is ready...
<niko> done hggdh
<Pici> niko: thanks!
<Fuchs> Pici: I won my "> 2 years from group registration closure" bet last month â¥
<Fuchs> Pici: it's finished, though
<hggdh> niko: thank you, and very sorry for the mess I made on the request
<Fuchs> awwww â¥
<Pricey> hggdh: Sure.
<Pricey> Pici: The thing is, the code exists ;)
<Fuchs> and this is the result of going through backlog topdown :p
<Pricey> hggdh: I can now apparently. #freenode's best if /stats p is empty.
<Fuchs> already said and already handled :)
<Pici> Pricey: are you fixed?
<Pici> I mean your connection, not anything else, get your mind out of the gutter.
<Fuchs> the other thing is not needed, the beard is perfect birth control
 * Fuchs hides
<Pricey> Pici: Looks like it.
<Pricey> Fuchs: Clean shaven for a couple of weeks I'll have you know!
<Pricey> I've been told to grow it again though.
<Fuchs> depending on who told you that: I wouldn't trust them ;p
<Fuchs> I just saw it again while scrolling through G+, hence the silly comment. Also because I'm an arse. Mostly that.
<Pici> Pricey: removed your fix-connection bans in #u and #u-offtopic
<Pricey> Pici: Thanks
<Pricey> Pici: Unfortunately I think I may have punched through them anyway?
<Pici> Pricey: I think your last cycle happened right before ikonia banned you, coincidentally enough.
<Pricey> Sneaky. Do need to fix that bug in my config.
<Pricey> Not sure what caused the flapping unfortunately.
<Fuchs> someone tapping on your screen  *nods and disappears*
<hggdh> Pricey: I am working on setting a series of #ubuntu-br-* channels to norm. Can you add me as +F on them?
<hggdh> and, of course, I will give you the list. In pieces, so that you do not despair ;-)
<Pricey> hggdh: sure
<hggdh> Pricey: #ubuntu-br-(ac, al, am, ba, ce) (part #1 of the series)
<Pricey> info #ubuntu-br-ac
<hggdh> Pricey: #ubuntu-br-(go, ma, mg, sp, br, br-dev)
<hggdh> Pricey: #ubuntu-br-(doc, meeting, ops, tradutores)
<Pici> yikes
<hggdh> and I think this is it...
<hggdh> yeah. Putting them all under the yoke of the IRCC...
<hggdh> yoke, of course, is meant in a good way.
<Pricey> hggdh: Done.
<hggdh> Pricey: in your debt. I do appreciate your help.
<Pricey> pfft
<hggdh> Pricey: would you need freenode-staff added in as well to the channels?
<Pici> hggdh: the proper form is actually to add *!*@freenode/staff/*  the 'freenode-staff' account is for other things.
<hggdh> Pici: indeed. I will do so, thank you.
<Pricey> hggdh: freenode-staff is a dummy account that doesn't do anything. As pici said, a matching mask can be added if you want to let us know you don't mind us stepping in a bit more often than we normally would.
<hggdh> I see no problems with staff coming in to help if needed. If adding the mask makes this clear, then consider them added
<hggdh> now... given S.O. is arriving with food, I will take care of that after lunch

<sudodus> help with cloak: Hi, I'm an Ubuntu member and a moderator of the Ubuntu Forums. We intend to use #ubuntuforums-mods, and I need a cloak to be able to access it without an invitation each time. I'm a beginner so bear with me until I'm getting used to this way of communication. My Launchpad account is https://launchpad.net/~nio-wiklund, sudodus (nio-wiklund), If you know how to do it, please help me :-)
<Fuchs> sudodus: well, now you are identified, that's a start. The rest is as I said: you need to wait in here (patience is the key) for a member of the IRCC
 * Fuchs eyes AlanBell
<Fuchs> sudodus: as soon as you found one, they need to get in touch with staff, then staff will ask you whether you want that cloak, if you confirm you'll have it.
 * AlanBell can't help, sorry, I am not on the IRCC, but everything looks good for the cloak
<Fuchs> Oh, sorry, thought you still were
<Fuchs> who is, currently?

<Fuchs> lovely, most of the realnames are new to me :p
<Fuchs> yeah, found it
<Fuchs> ah, there are the nicks, hggdh or Tm_T    would work :)
<Tm_T> Fuchs: ack
<Fuchs> Yay
<Fuchs> Tm_T: could you request a mÃ¼mber cloak for sudodus?  Thanks â¥
<Tm_T> Fuchs: I request
 * Tm_T is semibusy with semi-important stuff so he keeps comments at minimum, sorry
<Fuchs> Sorry for disturbing and thanks â¥
<sudodus> Fuchs; OK, I'll stay connected and waiting ... will be away from the keyboard for periods of time, but coming back. Thanks for helping :-)

<avis> can i please be unbanned from #ubuntu-offtopic.  the last two times i am banned from there is is for extended periods of time that is never warraranted for the offense.  can you please docuement that ?  thanks
<elky> if he would stick around for more than 6 seconds we'd be able to talk to him
<elky> wait i can't math. 5 seconds.
<avis> the time before last i was banned from #ubuntu-offtopic it was for ever 6 months.  all i could think in my head was -- how could they justify this long of a ban.  further i am banned now and they simply didn't like my respectful language syntax.  thank you
<avis> please consider unbanning me
