Seveasmdz, you've put the first item on the agenda10:09
=== mako is getting up to speed.. i'm coming straight out of another irc meeting
mdzI put that on the agenda before the previous meeting, after talking with mako10:09
mdzI assumed it had already been discussed since comments were added to the wiki10:09
Seveasat the previous meeting it was moved to this one10:09
=== cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzas you pointed out, this is a rather old proposal10:10
mdzbut I think the issues it raises are still valid10:10
mdzmako was in agreement when we spoke about it10:10
=== mako nods
makoi'm reading the things posted to the spec10:11
mdzI acknowledge that some members of the community are working well with the FreeNode staff10:11

=== j_baer__ [n=baerj@c-24-11-169-4.hsd1.mi.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzessentially all of the non-Ubuntu project channels I follow have moved to OFTC10:12
makothat's been true for me as well10:12
Seveasand why should we follow?10:12
makothere are a series of reasons on and alluded to on the specification10:13
elmoSeveas: I regularly see the must register to send messages damage hurt users, f.e.10:13
Seveaselmo, that is a measure against spam10:13
Sp4rKyplease, when does the CC start  ?10:13
makoSp4rKy: it's going on now10:13
SeveasSp4rKy, 13 minutes ago10:13
gnomefreakSp4rKy: started10:14
sharms2I would say from a users point of view it's very hard to find a irc admin to get help from10:14
gnomefreakwho has this spec page handy?10:14
elmoSeveas: I know what it is, but it regularly bites new users trying to contact others10:14
makoSeveas: that's fine, but it seems to be handled different and less inconveniently for users on other networks, including OFTC10:14
Seveas"Freenode is technically and politically erratic" is a bunch of FUD instead of concrete arguments10:14
=== andyp [n=andydpar@83.104.143.93] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
jendaDoes OFTC require registration to send messages? (Sorry for ignorance)?10:14
elmojenda: no10:14
Seveasmako, there's a big difference in size between oftc and freenode10:14
jendathx10:14
mdzgnomefreak: it's on the agenda10:14
Seveasfreenode is much larger and thus a more attractive target10:14
elmoSeveas: OFTC recently took on Debian - they can handle us10:14
gnomefreakmdz: ty10:15
makoSeveas: nobody disagreeing with that, but that is something that we can take advantage of as well10:15
mdzgnomefreak: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda10:15
gnomefreakty10:15
sivangI'm also bitten by this, everytime my client disconnects and reconnects, and I send PMs to folks not even noticing they don't receive it.10:15
Sp4rKymako, Seveas gnomefreak k, so what should i do when i'm added to Member candidates for consideration10:15
SeveasSp4rKy, just wait.10:15

SeveasIt's settled and working very nice10:16
elmoDebian's OFTC migration even provides us with a working example of how to do it10:16
Seveasmoving would disrupt that a lot10:16
=== nixternal agrees with Seveas as there seems to be a lot of people settled in
gnomefreakmaybe just me but i have seen alot of people from OTFC spamming in #ubuntu for the last few weeks  is this something we have to look foward to if we move?10:17
elmoSeveas: that's your opinion, and it's great, but you're blithely ignoring problems like the must register stuff which are real problems and I see effect different people every week10:17
jendaI'll second that. Imagine the confusion of moving the thousands of people.10:17
mdzgnomefreak: "people from OFTC"?10:17
elmojenda: it's not  hard, as I said, Debian did it10:17
Kamiongnomefreak: could you elaborate on that statement please?10:17
mdzjenda: Debian moved more people than we did10:17
Seveaselmo, I'm not ignoring that, I'm just seeing that differently10:17
jendaFreenode doesn't require registration - #ubuntu does.10:17
jendaOK10:17
Seveasjenda, no, freenode does - for pm's10:17
makoSeveas: at the conference we had people unable to connect for msot of hte first day10:18
sivangwe could also provide shipped IRC clients with config for OFTC for that matter10:18
makoSeveas: eventually, i got ahold of lilo and eventually he was able to fix it10:18
=== JoeyStanford notices that OFTC appears to be more community oriented and might fit better simply on that basis with Ubuntu than Freenode. Noting of course he has not experienced any problems with Freenode.
nixternalwhich i like the registration, as it stops people from ghosting nicknames as well10:18
=== jenda mumbles about +6
mdzSeveas: that happens pretty much every time we have a conference10:18
=== sryan [n=sryan@office-gw.mind.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
erdalronahishipped IRC clients are a good idea10:18
makonixternal: there are registered nicks on oftc as well10:18
Seveasmako, why do you think limiting connections is a bad idea?10:18
Kamionyeah, it's been happening since Oxford in mid-200410:18
nixternalmako: thank you for the clarification... ;)10:18
makoSeveas: it's not that i think it's a bad idea10:18
Seveasmdz, for paris that was handled because someone (me) actually poked freenode staff in time10:18
makoSeveas: but when we have to spend half a day being blocked as a result, it's a major inconveience10:19
gnomefreakmdz: yes there have beena  few bot bombs (i guess is what the name for them is) is has OFTC before it shows the user name and in purple comming in the channel and just saying things like f ubuntu bleh bleh bleh10:19
=== Amaranth [n=amaranth@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
elmoSeveas: and for all your claims of close ties, it still takes at least half a day to sort out ... each time...10:19
Kamiongnomefreak: your inference that it's "people from OFTC" seems weak at best10:19
mdzgnomefreak: I don't think you can take that as an indication that those people represent OFTC10:19
Seveaselmo, for paris it took 5 minutes.10:19
Amaranththis wasn't on the calendar :/10:19
Seveasfor other conferences: no one took the trouble to poke freenode staff10:20
makoSeveas: it took 6 hours from the time i first messaged the only staff member online10:20
SeveasIN TIME10:20
elmoSeveas: dude.  your reality does not match our reality10:20
makoSeveas: there were apparently some technical problem that kept the fix from taking hold10:20
Seveaselmo, my reality is that freenode works really well for #ubuntu and related channels and that none of the active community want to move10:21
=== slomo_ [n=slomo@ubuntu/member/slomo] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
elmoSeveas: sigh.  look, I'm talking about a very specific example.   you're claiming that freenode was working for UDSP "on time".  we were there.  it wasn't.10:21
=== Admiral_proFTW [i=posingas@adsl-69-211-62-66.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzSeveas: I think some of the people participating in this meeting qualify as active community ;-)10:22
Seveasmdz, I mean #ubuntu community10:22
KamionI think #ubuntu-devel matters too10:22
makooftc is run by a democratically elected board, they have a great track record for technical reliability and responsiveness, they have recently started hosting debian which is both similar in size and overlap.. they also seem to be a less annoying/confusing to new users in regards to msgs10:22
mdzSeveas: I expect many of them neither know nor care which IRC network they use10:22
KamionI don't particularly want to turn this into a fight between #ubuntu and #ubuntu-devel though10:22
Seveaselmo, it may have failed later (heard that from lilo), but he was working on that. It worked immediately after I asked him though10:22
nixternalbrief opinion if i may do so....if there are issues with freenode, why not take them up the staff and see if they can fix the issues to supply ubuntu with what it needs..just like a new user with ubuntu, we want to know their issues, instead of them just leaving for something else10:23
makofreenode is not oppressively bad.. but i think there's a fair use that oftc might be a better match10:23
nixternaland if it doesn't get fixed/resolved, then look at moving elsewhere (oftc) if warranted?10:23
makomdz: except perhaps, when their private msgs don't work :)10:23
=== nixternal is keeping an open mind, as it does't matter where i hang out, as long as it is Ubuntu!!! ;)
sivangmako: is there some protection against someone else taking your nick ? do they support any sort of registration ?10:24
makosivang: of course10:24
elmosivang: yes, they have services10:24
mdzsivang: it works exactly the same way10:24
makosivang: it would be indistinguishable10:24
sivangmdz, elmo, mako : I'm sold :-)10:24
Seveasmako, freenode is increasingly good to us. In case of channel problems we have close ties to active staff. For OFTC that may eventually work too, but don't fix if it ain't broken10:25
JoeyStanfordAre there any assurances that OFTC will be around for the long haul?10:25
SeveasJoeyStanford, yes10:25
makoSeveas: you also need to recognize that there is now a history of strange behavior in relation to canonical channels by the (undemocratically elected) freenode staff10:25
Seveasmako, I do, but #canonical != #ubuntu10:25
mdzmako: that's not a CC issue though10:25
Amaranthdebian had it easy, they have irc.debian.org10:26
makoa history of erratic behavior by the people running the network is something working keeping in mind10:26
Seveasmako, lilo will in the short term be much less visible on the network if you're concerned about that 10:27
KamionAmaranth: (that's something we can and should introduce)10:27
makoi really don't have a grudge against lilo.. he's been very helpful to me every time i've talked to him10:27
gnomefreaki like that idea alot10:27
mdzAmaranth: and we have irc.ubuntu.com10:27
AmaranthKamion: But by default people have been getting connected to "irc.freenode.net", no?10:27
=== uniq [n=frode@ubuntu/member/frode] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzAmaranth: by default (at least in xchat) they use "Ubuntu Servers"10:27
JoeyStanfordFWIW: We always state that "Debian is the rock that Ubuntu is built on."  If the Debian community found OFTC good enough to move, OFTC operates in a similar manner as Ubuntu does, and many other groups have already migrated, it would seem to me that there is sufficient justifcation for us to move as well.10:28
LaserJockmdz: which is irc.freenode.net, no?10:28
mdzLaserJock: yes, but easily changed10:28
LaserJockof course, just wondered10:28
mdzit's separate from the FreeNode server profile10:28
LaserJockright10:29
Amaranthmdz: but warty, hoary, breezy, and dapper users are still connecting to irc.freenode.net10:29
Seveasas they should be...10:29
Amaranthmdz: so you'd have to manually tell them to move10:29
mdzAmaranth: warty is EOL, and the others can be changed via -updates10:29
Amaranthhmm, i thought that stuff got copied into ~/.xchat2/ if you changed something10:30
Kamionit's also easy to put "channel has moved" notices up10:30
juantao_pardon, might I speak?10:30
Kamionas elmo said, Debian have been through all this10:30
Seveasjuantao_, sure10:30
juantao_the meeting is 30 minutes old and my lunch break is half over, any chance we can move along to other items?10:30
AmaranthKamion: hehe, freenode will close the channel10:30
Seveasjuantao_, not before this is resolved10:30
KamionAmaranth: *shrug* lasts long enough10:30

=== diaz [n=diaz@p5489DB77.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzI don't think that concerns about the transition should be a consideration here; as stated, Debian made this transition without much trouble at all10:31
=== mako nods
Amaranthok, forget that part for now10:31
Kamionit seems entirely political, not technical10:31
Seveasmdz, apart from the /msg-needs-registration and lilo-annoyance, are there any reasons to move?10:32
Kamion(as far as implementation goes)10:32
sharms2lack of help from ops for regular users10:32
makoKamion: well, the problem we have now is political, the reasons to move are both10:32
mdzSeveas: yes, another concrete reason already raised was the repeated problems we have at conferences10:32
Amaranthsharms2: How does moving to another network fix that?10:32
Kamionmako: right, I realised that after speaking and tried to clarify in the parenthesis10:32
elmoSeveas: and the behaviour of staff in #canonical10:32
Seveasmdz, and I already stated the solution to that too10:32
Seveaselmo, #canonical != #ubuntu10:33
=== slomo_ [n=slomo@ubuntu/member/slomo] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
Kamionthat doesn't stop it mattering10:33
elmoSeveas: dude, seriously are you reading what people write?10:33
mdzSeveas: you haven't acknowledged that the "solution" you proposed is exactly what we did in Paris, and it *didn't work*10:33
elmoseveas: as mako already pointed out, it doesn't matter that #canonical != #ubuntu, it demonstrates a problem with how the staff behave, and how they behave affects _all_ channels including #ubuntu10:33
AmaranthInteresting, I didn't know a private, password protected channel was allowed on freenode.10:33
mdzit seriously disrupted the event (again)10:33
Seveasmdz, due to technical problems as has been said - do you think OFTC will be problem free>10:33
Seveaselmo, I've never seen staff misbehave in any ubuntu channel so far10:34
mdzSeveas: no, but in my experience it has fewer problems10:34
mdzmako's point about governance is also valid10:34
Seveasmdz, that's just a matter of size...10:34
elmoSeveas: ... so are you saying we're making it up, or do our experiences just not count or what?10:34
makoSeveas: i've been on both networks simultaneously for 3 years now10:34
sryanWhy not move to EFnet? :)10:34
Seveasmdz, that'll change - HedgeMage is working on getting people from projects on the board10:35
makoSeveas: and my experience has been that things have been easier and more quickly fixed on oftc10:35
mdzmy experience is similar to mako's10:35
mdzand additionally I'm tired of having to keep track of two networks ;-)10:36
SeveasOFTC has also had less bot attacks and other annoying losers trying to keep staff over-busy10:36
jendamdz: BTW, the move would bring that burden upon many of us.10:36
KamionAmaranth: it is; but we've had problems with staff not respecting privacy10:36
makoi have never attempted to move a project from OFTC to freenode10:36
makobut i've seen a very steady stream of project move10:36
makoculminating with debian recently10:36
Amaranthmdz: I'm already in 3 networks, I really don't want a 4th.10:36
makoit's basically only GNU projects and Ubuntu that are left here that i've involved with10:36
makoAmaranth: i'm on 4, we learn to deal :)10:37
Seveasmako: gentoo, php, django - to name a few that are here...10:37
Amarantheveryone is on freenode ;)10:37
mdzmako: is freenode a matter of GNU policy, or just status quo?10:37
makomdz: not sure10:37
elmoSeveas: yeah, because we have so much cross pollination with gentoo, compared to, err, Debian10:37
mdzyes, Debian alone is a pretty compelling reason10:38
Seveaselmo, as a matter of fact #ubuntu and #debian don't have that much overlap10:38
Amaranth#python is on freenode too, although i think they have it on oftc too10:38
elmoSeveas: argh, dude, Ubuntu is not just #ubuntu10:38
makoSeveas: you should look at the governance information for oftc10:38
makoSeveas: it's pretty compelling10:38
mjg59Seveas: Little overlap between user channels is hardly surprising10:38
Seveaselmo, no, but moving would be the hardest for #ubuntu with 800+ users10:38
elmoSeveas: #ubuntu-devel is just as important a part of Ubuntu10:38
makoSeveas: their entire staff/board is democratically election and dispute resolution goes through a democratic channel10:38
=== JoeyStanford wonders about irc.ubuntu.com hosted by OFTC
sivangmako: similar to the CC sort of10:38
elmoSeveas: no.  it would not be.  that is a straw man.  as you've been told multiple times.  Debian migrated larger channels and it was painless10:39
jendaJoeyStanford: that would probably be a forward, just like irc.debian,org10:39
makosivang: it's better than us! :)10:39
Seveaselmo, at the time #debian moved. #ubuntu already was bigger10:39
makoSeveas: more or less the the same10:39
Seveas~100 users10:40
makoSeveas: in any case, nobody is suggesting doing this if OFTC couldn't handle it10:40
jendaIs that really that important?10:40
Kamion~100 users> that would be 12% then, basically statistical noise at that point10:40
Kamionif you can migrate a 700-user channel, you can migrate an 800-user channel10:40
sivangmako: heh10:40
=== nalioth [i=nalioth@freenode/staff/ubuntu.member.nalioth] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
AmaranthIf you're going to do it it has to be all at once for basically everything but #ubuntu.10:41
AmaranthOtherwise it gets confusing.10:41
elmoplease, let's not discuss migration strategies10:41
sivangmaybe we can have some folks go to talk to them, tell them we're interested, lay out what we require and see if it can be provided before doing the move?10:41
Amaranthelmo: There is nothing else to discuss.10:41
makoyou can also look at the http://www.oftc.net/oftc/Constitution10:41
makoit's great :)10:41
elmoAmaranth: of course there is.  whether we should or not10:41
nixternali know when i was an op for ETG years ago, one of my channels was on 2 networks, and we utilized a bot to combine them until everyone moved over..the bot would link the 2 channels on the same network..this may also limit the issues with a transfer10:41
Amaranthelmo: It's the same argument back and forth though, perhaps it's time for a vote?10:42
Amaranthnixternal: #python had one of those too for talking to oftc users10:42
elmolet's not have a vote, but I would like to hear from anyone other than Seveas who is -1 on this10:42
elmo(I'm not discounting Seveas, it's just his vote is pretty damn obvious at this stage)10:42
AmaranthWell, I think it's a waste of time.10:43
Seveaselmo, you've seen last week when there were many more others present10:43
DBOI dont think we should move10:43
makothat's right, i'm not at all comfortable voting on this10:43
elmoDBO: why?10:43
AmaranthOther than that, whatever you decide.10:43
Seveaseverybody but the CC (who didn't say much then) was against10:43
DBOI deal with needy users every day in #ubuntu, I put in maybe 60 hours a week during the non-summer months, and they are confused enough10:43
mjg59DBO: How are they getting to #ubuntu?10:43
nixternalwhat about creating a poll for members/teams/users to vote also, as i think their opinions on something this great should be looked at10:43
makoSeveas: that's not true, some people asked questions and few people offered a strong opniion either way10:44
sharms2if irc.ubuntu.com forwards to oftc, how would that confuse anyone?10:44
Seveasmako, that's not what I saw last week...10:44
DBOmjg59, most of them automatic, lots are using irssi, or whatever when their x server is broke10:44
elmoSeveas: sorry, but my recollection matches makos10:44
Amaranthconfusing users is still a migration issue10:44
=== jenda = -1 on moving
mjg59DBO: Right. So if the default config is to hit irc.ubuntu.com, then changing will change nothing for them10:44
elmoSeveas: but we can go over the logs later10:44
elmojenda: again, why?10:44
elmosorry, let me be clearer10:44
makoSeveas: you can't ask me to come up with an opinion based on what *you* saw last week10:44
elmolet's not have a vote, but I would like to hear from anyone other than Seveas who is -1 on this _and why_10:44
makoSeveas: i've read what you've put on the wiki and acknowledge your points10:45
=== JoeyStanford = +1 on the move
makoi also acknowledge Amaranth's point that the vast majority of people simply won't care10:45
KamionI would also like us to consider moving Ubuntu development channels even if the user channels don't move10:45
DBOThe move strikes me as a short term solution to a long term issue.  Anywhere we go there will be server issues, botter issues, DCC idiots10:45
Kamionbecause, honestly, I don't think it matters much for most ordinary users whether the development channels are on the same network10:45
uniqfrom reading on oftc.net is looks very ubuntuish. democratic and nice.10:45
elmoKamion: good point10:46
jendaIf it ain't broken don't fix it approach: I don't think we should move only for political reasons, and the technical ones seem overlookable.10:46
nixternali am +1/-1 on it, 50/50, as i believe getting information from current users of freenode in the #ubuntu related channels, should be able to voice an opinion for something this large of an ordeal10:46
DBOKamion, I agree with that10:46
makowe know how to a transition, i suspect we could do it painlessly, without confusing, and withough the vast vast number of users even noticing10:46
jendaOTOH, I'm not that far from 'not caring' either: except I'm afraid we might lose some people, who won't want to move.10:46

nixternaltruthfully, no matter where the servers are for me, i am still going to help Ubuntu...however my experience here has been very good, as I have had no problems with anybody or anyone10:46
sivangmako: we just need to make sure we have cloaks, which I kind'of got used to, but probably they have nice rules about that as well.10:46
makojenda: there is already a small group in #ubuntu on OFTC10:46
JoeyStanfordNixternal: Same here10:47
makojenda: i suspect a small group would stay onf reenode if we moved10:47
mjg59mako: It's likely that the channel would be closed10:47
naliothapologies for my tardiness, but is there a reason for moving?10:47
makomjg59: ah10:47
jendaMost probably true.10:47
mjg59mako: Though that doesn't seem to have happened to #debian, so10:47
makonalioth: there is a relatively long series of reasons, please read the log10:47
nealmcbI tend to agree with nixternal also.10:47
makosivang: there are cloaks and we could insure we had them on oftc10:48
nixternali can tell you this though, no matter where Ubuntu goes, I think the idiots who cause trouble on IRC servers, script kiddies mostly, i think will follow us because of how popular we are, and that is an easy way for them to express their jealousy10:48
sharms2Just because something is ok now, doesn't mean you shouldnt plan for the future.10:48
makoSeveas: here's what i'm kind of worried about10:48
makothis debate sort of simmered in debian for years10:48
Seveasnixternal, most bot attacks target freenode because of its size, not ubuntu because of its popularity10:48
jendaAnother thing is... aren't cloaks a tidbit elitist?10:48
Kamionnixternal: I reiterate my suggestion of moving development channels regardless; the numbers there are far less and the people involved are much easier to inform10:48
ompauljenda, they protect users from ddos 10:49
=== jenda does like his cloak, though :)
elmook, I don't think we're getting very far with this, can I make a suggestion:10:49
sivangmako: cool, that's good.10:49
nixternaland i understand that, but it will happen no matter which server is used..thats what i was tyring to get at10:49
makoand it was clear to me that there was a lot of compatibilty between philosophy, decision-making, power, quick responses, overlap, etc. but nobody really wanted to rock the boat so thing really happened10:49
jendaompaul: I meant exclusive member cloaks.10:49
elmo (1) we defer this to the next meeting, sabdfl is going to want to have a say in this, so we can't make any final decisions today anyway.  AND10:49
nealmcbKamion: moving just some channels complicates the treatment of irc.ubuntu.com10:49
makoelmo: that's right10:49
elmo(2) both sides draw up pages on the wiki with their view of pros and cons10:49
Kamionnealmcb: that's true, but developers can cope10:50
ograelmo, +110:50
elmo(3) and someone add the kamion-alternative to the wiki as a suggested fall back10:50
jendaagreed10:50
nixternalgreat point Kamion, but like i said, i am neither yay or nay on it, i just would like to see a larger community voice on the situation then what is currently being voiced...im with Ubuntu no matter where it's at ;)10:50
ompaulelmo on that point  +110:50
mdzelmo: (2) has already been done, though I suppose they could be expanded a bit10:50

jenda+110:51
mdzmako: most of your ideas are missing from the page; could you add them?10:51
Kamionfrom the position of somebody who mostly has trouble caring but who probably leans marginally towards pro-moving, it's pretty weak10:51
nixternalmy biggest concern is the newer users of irc...if you can get them to autoconnect wonderful!!!10:51
=== gnomefreak is mainly concered with how stable are thier servers
=== jenda still doesn't see the reasons, so it would be great if they were on the wiki.

heno:)11:52
juantao_In February I drove my little truck 5,000 miles to New Orleans donating computers to former Black Panther and founder of Common Ground Relief. I set up a small LAN in his garage to help assist coordination of their efforts (summer home to 2,000 student volunteers.

makojuantao_: i love ashland :)11:52
juantao_it IS paradise11:52
juantao_These efforts will result in placing Ubuntu computers in several schools. Although I applaud the efforts many are making in Edubuntu, for our needs (older students) Ubuntu is better suited.11:53
