| tonyyarusso | Any of you folks made yourself Ubuntu business cards? I need to figure out how to do templates in OOo...(haven't done this since my Windows days) | 12:34 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, jenda was talking about the possiblity of printing them properly | 12:35 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, could work out pretty cheap but well done | 12:35 |
| LjL | tonyyarusso: would that help at all? it'd still be one wasted line, just like it is now. shorter, maybe, but what is annoying to people and clients is the fact that there *is* a message, more than its actual length | 12:35 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: Well, depends on the factoid. For the 7-line factoids it would. Otherwise, probably not necessary. | 12:36 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: Well, I already have a bag of cardstock that I'm looking to use up. | 12:37 |
| LjL | tonyyarusso: well, i'm seeing this from a GUI-based client perspective, where length of lines doesn't really matter much, but scrolling does, given QtTextBrowser's sluggishness | 12:37 |
| LjL | anyway i'll file a bug | 12:37 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, fair enough :) | 12:37 |

| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: There was some interesting stuff earlier, although I wasn't around either. See the message on the ML, and then this channel after that. | 12:51 |
| LjL | lots of mess...ages | 12:51 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: i saw the ML stuff - the message from Mez | 12:51 |
| LjL | yeah there was some heat around that | 12:51 |
| LjL | apparently resulting in Hawkwind resigning from his op position among other things | 12:52 |

| tonyyarusso | gnomefreak: good to hear | 12:52 |
| gnomefreak | Hobbsee: because he didnt agree with the way it was handled (short version) | 12:52 |
| ompaul | gnomefreak, that statement qualifies a lot of things | 12:53 |
| gnomefreak | ompaul: i know | 12:54 |
| gnomefreak | ompaul: he was very general on why he was resigning. something like i dont agree the way ops does things | 12:56 |

| ompaul | *I can read anyway* | 12:56 |
| ompaul | :) | 12:56 |
| gnomefreak | :) | 12:56 |
| Hobbsee | there's one thing, and i say this without having read all the logs, that bothers me about somerville32 and hawkwind - it's that they want to change things, yet they havent had to deal with users like malt last night, or spam wars, or whatever. now, maybe it's my timezone, and i just dont see it, but i dont think it's fair to say that the current thing is screwed up beyond believe, and to judge us by the way we responded, until they go through | 12:57 |
| Hobbsee | it themselves. | 12:57 |

| === ompaul shakes his head | ||
| LjL | Hobbsee: well, Hawkwind did say there was more than just that that got on his nerves, however he wasn't inclined to explain it all, he sounded more like he was just fed up | 12:58 |
| Hobbsee | i've yet to see hawkwind deal with people in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-offtopic. it's *not* the same thing as banning in a small channel. if this kind of thing went on in a small channel, it would be cause for concern. | 12:59 |
| gnomefreak | Hobbsee: i think somerville32 was more agaisnt the sending the user to an auto kline channel (atleast was well known for that) | 12:59 |
| Hobbsee | but with the kind of people we're dealing with....and the anon. proxies, etc.... | 12:59 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: at any rate, one thing we've been discussing - and i mention it because i myself agree it shouldn't have been done - is the sending of malt to a channel that would cause him a k-line (or maybe not, but that was the intention anyway). you saw that yourself, and laughed about it IIRC from the log... | 12:59 |
| Hobbsee | gnomefreak: we had no staffers. but yeah :P | 12:59 |
| === gnomefreak thinks less people needed to be involved but not my call | ||
| LjL | now really, IMHO this is not likely to be a good thing to do is it | 12:59 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: probably not. but i can see why Mez did it | 01:00 |
| gnomefreak | i saw the ban itself a ban as anyother ban that we may come across daily and if all bans are gonna be overlooked by other ops than the -ops team will fail to do its job correctly | 01:00 |
| gnomefreak | looked over | 01:01 |
| gnomefreak | damn its bad today | 01:01 |
| tonyyarusso | I can understand why someone might do it, but I can't condone it. I think we can probably (at least mostly) agree that the auto-kline channel redirect was not the best idea. Which would be good, b/c then we could focus on the rest of it, if needed. | 01:01 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: in truth, what *i* laughed at was that he fell for it - with such a knowledge of irc, and proxies, and ban evading, and everything else, he fell for the most known auto-kline channel. | 01:01 |
| PriceChild | Hobbsee, it isn't actually an auto k-line channel | 01:01 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: i can, too, but i'm rather pressed to make sure Mez and you and anybody else involved understand it wasn't too good an idea. other people here were even inclined to take action against Mez because of that... now, tricking somebody (who deserves it) into something as trivial as k-lining themselves, while fun, isn't really worth all the fuss that it'll create - and it has | 01:01 |
| gnomefreak | PriceChild: used to be | 01:02 |
| PriceChild | gnomefreak, yeah | 01:02 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: Did you check? What is it these days? | 01:02 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, jenda doesn't know | 01:02 |
| gnomefreak | tonyyarusso: invite only | 01:02 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: of course. but after ~30 mins of him trying... | 01:02 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, I tried to get in over proxy and its invite only | 01:02 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, but its not officially registered or anything | 01:02 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: k | 01:02 |
| === gnomefreak hasnt tried and dont plan on it | ||
| ompaul | if I may make a comment - this reads just like the situation when I packed up my bags | 01:02 |
| gnomefreak | ompaul: yep only thing is everything is public now :( | 01:03 |
| LjL | ompaul: except i think, though of course i'm not you, that you would be more inclined to disagree with Hawkwind this time | 01:03 |
| ompaul | LjL, I tend to take the ops side who did the ban | 01:03 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: It does look similar...which is upsetting. Although, somewhat different also. | 01:03 |
| Hobbsee | 07:31 <+Hawkwind> Sorry, he was also kicked by Hobbsee for admitting he knew he | 01:03 |
| Hobbsee | was speaking to a lady | 01:03 |
| Hobbsee | er, what? | 01:03 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: well we'll have time to see if that turns out to be a very big deal | 01:03 |
| gnomefreak | it was a simple ban why it got this out of hand needs to be addressed | 01:04 |
| Hobbsee | he was kicked because he was being damned annoying, and highly offensive. | 01:04 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: no, that was a different loser | 01:04 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: Any insight to add, given that? | 01:04 |
| LjL | Hobbsee, no use arguing against people who aren't even here | 01:04 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: yeah, i found that out from my logs | 01:04 |
| Hobbsee | i know...i'm just surprised... | 01:04 |
| ompaul | tonyyarusso, yes, however to do this I would like the floor, and point out this is an opinion, based on being in irc for some 13 or 14 years at this stage | 01:05 |
| LjL | the floor? | 01:05 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: Fine by me. | 01:05 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, I think Hawkwind was just showing a lot of frustration - not just over this event. | 01:06 |
| mc44 | LjL: ie shut up :) | 01:06 |
| LjL | ah right, alright | 01:06 |
| ompaul | LjL, to make my point and not be asked about it during it :) | 01:06 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: quite likely. however his frustration was misplaced - ie, didnt really say what was wrong | 01:06 |
| gnomefreak | once people accept responsiblity for thier actions than the appealing will go down and the ops argueing with ops will go down (everything that apokry.. and Hobbsee did was just and the best way to handle it) the extras that came out maybe could have been thought about more before saying them | 01:06 |
| LjL | sure ompaul, i just didn't know the expression :) | 01:06 |
| Hobbsee | and who bans for 24hrs for pasting, btw? | 01:06 |
| Hobbsee | i thought the bans were lifted a few mins after... | 01:06 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, me if the person does it a second or third time | 01:06 |
| gnomefreak | Hobbsee: only repeat offenders | 01:06 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, We've seen it. | 01:07 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: me, if you do it twice after i've told you | 01:07 |
| Hobbsee | ompaul: ah right. that makes sense then | 01:07 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, I don't think anyone disagrees that he should have been banned, etc. etc. | 01:07 |
| somerville32 | I think people were upset with how it was handled and certain things people said and did | 01:07 |
| ompaul | so here you go, if someone else bans, I strongly suggest that other ops should leave any query on it for a while | 01:08 |
| ompaul | that could be up to an hour after | 01:08 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: quite likely. but until the first group of people actually handle a couple of these things, with repeat offenders and proxies - are you really licenced to comment? | 01:08 |
| ompaul | there is good reasoning behind this and it should be done privately | 01:08 |
| Hobbsee | particularly because you're usually getting abuse from the user as well | 01:08 |
| ompaul | if you go to someone while they are angry they will be defensive and then feel under threat | 01:09 |
| === gnomefreak cheers Hobbsee and apokryphos for the way they *did* handle it :) brb smoke | ||
| PuMpErNiCkLe | They got some ass to kline himself? They've got skills. | 01:09 |
| Hobbsee | ompaul: exactly | 01:10 |
| ompaul | and that is what happened with me - I walked because I felt that I had just had a ban evader - who then went on to pick a fight with someone else ... | 01:10 |
| Hobbsee | PuMpErNiCkLe: ah, yeah... | 01:10 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: would it be a good idea to, for instance, /msg ompaul Hey - not sure I agree with that last ban; would appreciate discussion in 60 minutes if that's all right. ? | 01:10 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, Yes, I do feel I am. Does one need to participate in a war to have an opinion on wars? | 01:10 |
| ompaul | and I was really annoyed that I had to fight on two fronts as I saw it | 01:10 |
| LjL | pss can we let ompaul speak for a moment please? | 01:11 |
| ompaul | so then I read the logs of it the next day I blew up | 01:11 |
| tonyyarusso | Right, shoot. /me shuts up. | 01:11 |
| ompaul | this was at that time a private channel and that was like a third front - i.e. exhausted | 01:11 |
| ompaul | so I said the most logical thing I could | 01:12 |
| ompaul | I am out of here | 01:12 |
| ompaul | -- now I made a point of saying I would go to a meeting | 01:12 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: to understand the stress, and it coming at you from all corners about this guy - yes, you really do. it's not like they've gone away for a while, and come back later - they're constantly at you. | 01:12 |
| ompaul | my understanding was it was here | 01:12 |
| ompaul | it moved ... to a logged channel | 01:12 |
| ompaul | I was not willing to come out with that stuff in such a meeting | 01:12 |
| ompaul | but hey you open it up to the world I know it is logged now | 01:13 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: the more they badger, becoming more and more offensive and profane as they go on, is just going to make you want to get rid of them. when done for long enough, any way to get rid of them effectively will do. | 01:13 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, And thats when you ask another op to step in. We must always maintain a level of professionalism and emotional detachment. I've been in situation where I've gotten personally upset and thats ok. | 01:13 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, I don't think anyone disagrees with the ban. | 01:13 |
| ompaul | so the side arguement goes on - and the parties have logs they can read this | 01:14 |
| === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-ops | ||
| === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v jenda] by ChanServ | ||
| Hobbsee | hey jenda | 01:14 |
| ompaul | tonyyarusso, the comment you gave there works | 01:14 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, We see what the guy did - we saw him being purposely malicious, crude, and vulgar. | 01:14 |
| ompaul | <tonyyarusso> ompaul: would it be a good idea to, for instance, /msg ompaul Hey - not sure I agree with that last ban; would appreciate discussion in 60 minutes if that's all right. ? | 01:14 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: Cool. *notes* | 01:14 |
| ompaul | tonyyarusso, and that would have been less devisive | 01:14 |
| ompaul | if that is the right spelling | 01:15 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, The issue was the other stuff. Way too many people get involved and emotional involved. | 01:15 |
| ompaul | but I had had enough | 01:15 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, The whole thing with Mez attempting to exploit his system and trying to trick him into visiting a channel which Mez believed to be an auto-kline channel was absolutely and completely wrong. | 01:15 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: you'd have to speak to Mez about that. also remember that if a staffer with kline powers had been around, the guy whould have also been klined. | 01:16 |
| Hobbsee | -h | 01:16 |
| LjL | ompaul: may i? | 01:16 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, Furthermore, contacting the ISP... way out of line. | 01:16 |
| ompaul | tonyyarusso, the volunteer got to the point - where they said I can waste my time better | 01:17 |
| ompaul | LjL, yeap I am done | 01:17 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: Makes sense. | 01:17 |
| Hobbsee | that was kinda separate - discovering that he was abusing his contract with the ISP, and reporting it. | 01:17 |
| Hobbsee | i mean, maybe it wasnt their place - but it's alos for the good of everyone else who uses that isp | 01:17 |
| tonyyarusso | When you say it "wasn't their place", how do you define that? | 01:18 |
| === somerville32 is on the phone. | ||
| Hobbsee | as in, wasnt the guy's place to contact the ISP abotu the guy's abuse of his ISP | 01:18 |
| Hobbsee | and disobeying the terms of use in flaming, and running an IRC client. | 01:19 |
| tonyyarusso | Isn't it? How else would they know? | 01:19 |
| Hobbsee | well, exactly. hence the maybe | 01:19 |
| tonyyarusso | 'k | 01:19 |
| LjL | ompaul: i think it's worth noting that you say, on one hand, that the banner shouldn't be questioned right away, *and* on the other hand, that they should be questioned *later* (an hour, or whatever), if one disagrees with the ban. i think both points are important -- i think in the past, we've just tended to *never* question other ops' actions, or question them with third parties at a much later stage. but this has built up silent conflict | 01:19 |
| LjL | that exploded after a while, i believe. on the other hand, questioning everything right when it happens, as you say, is counter-productive too, as people are already upset and get even more so | 01:19 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm not inclined to report someone for running services, since their may or may not be Apache in the vicinity, but abuse, yes. | 01:20 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: i thought nmap told you what the service was? | 01:20 |
| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: When I say may or may not, add a wink. | 01:20 |
| Hobbsee | heh | 01:20 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, I can tell nmap strange things }:-> and I often do | 01:20 |
| ompaul | LjL, accurate take | 01:21 |
| Hobbsee | gnomefreak: in my logs, he said he'd be ban evading. | 01:21 |
| Hobbsee | by proxy | 01:21 |
| Hobbsee | (in query, which i pasted in here) | 01:21 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, you know you are right, we know you are right, anyone want to disagree | 01:22 |
| Hobbsee | at that point, you effectively lose all kindness, and the ops will fight you until you go away. | 01:22 |
| LjL | ompaul: another thought that's in my mind is that this "always give the possibility of a fair appeal" concept is excessive, and a waste of energies... really, sometimes IMHO people just don't deserve an appeal, and making a comedy here in #ubuntu-ops is a complete farce. that's my take, do you think i'm mistaken or missing something? | 01:22 |
| Hobbsee | i'm not sure that's wrong... | 01:22 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: i think it's useful sometimes... | 01:22 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: sometimes, sure | 01:22 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: but there's no reason to leave a guy that isnt going to change, etc | 01:22 |
| ompaul | LjL, I concur that not everyone needs an appeal | 01:23 |
| ompaul | I can prove that | 01:23 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: yes but it was made a point, before, that you ("you" as you personally and the other ops involved) didn't give this malt enough possibility of an appeal. judging from what i hear he did... that's ridiculous to me | 01:23 |
| Hobbsee | how much abuse were you suggesting that he could do? | 01:24 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: I was one of the people who was pushing for always having a chance to be reviewed. My intent was for being able to get a second op to look at it, not to have the same op have to waste more time on you. Additionally, while I think that, the _moment_ they do something offensive on their review time, I have no problem closing it totally then. | 01:24 |
| Hobbsee | he was abusing mez, abusing myself, abusing this channel....hwo long do you think that should have gone on for? | 01:24 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: myself? honestly? i think he'd deserve a laugh in his face and an immediate ban from here. but the point ain't my guts feelings | 01:24 |
| tonyyarusso | I meant it not so much as an appeal as a review, as a check on our own ops. If there were already more than one op present for the ban, it would no longer be necessary from my line of reasoning. | 01:25 |
| ompaul | sorry - minor interjection as I have not followed this arguement - it appears from what you said that for this person I would have sought a kline - so if they klined themselves so be it | 01:26 |
| LjL | ompaul: i think i can give some convincing evidence too, but then *prove* it, perhaps not. if this were a court of law, the concept of always having the possibility of an appeal would surely be most important. however, *to me*, this place shouldn't work like a court of law - but i suppose other people see that as a fit model | 01:26 |
| ompaul | Lj | 01:26 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: surely people get sent out of the court of law if they're abusing the judges during their trial? | 01:26 |
| LjL | i guess they do | 01:26 |
| Hobbsee | surely the court doesnt just let them stay there, only abusing? | 01:26 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, they do | 01:26 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, they get contempt of court | 01:26 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: i think you're correct - as long as the person is actually being sane, and not abusive. | 01:27 |
| ompaul | bye bye for whatever usually 7 days or some such | 01:27 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: but right now i'm thinking, in general, of whether *having* an appeal procss is *always* worth having for *all* offenders. i'm not thinking specifically of malt's case | 01:27 |
| LjL | and i haven't fully read the logs, either | 01:27 |
| tonyyarusso | What do we mean by appeal? I think that's a question that needs to be addressed. | 01:27 |
| LjL | see you ompaul | 01:27 |
| tonyyarusso | We often have users who think it means "hey, if I go whine a bit, maybe they'll let me off easy" | 01:28 |
| ompaul | LjL, no, that is what the court says :) | 01:28 |
| Hobbsee | gnomefreak: your cloak saves you from the kline, BTW | 01:28 |
| Hobbsee | gnomefreak: you just reconnect | 01:28 |
| LjL | tonyyarusso, right now i think it just means roughly "the person comes here, moans a bit, we talk, and in the end will still take the decision to the op who did the ban, who'll most likely just deny unbanning" | 01:28 |
| tonyyarusso | _I_ want it to be, "I think that may have been unfair/misunderstood. Could I get a second opinion?" | 01:28 |
| LjL | ompaul: ah. whops :) indeed i was thinking that your current visits seemed to be quite more frequent than weekly =) | 01:29 |
| ompaul | tonyyarusso, I don't think that is fair to the person who was given the trust in the first place to be an op | 01:29 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: In action anyway, but perception might need some work. | 01:29 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: I can see that. | 01:29 |
| ompaul | tonyyarusso, and it qualifies for a challenge to them | 01:29 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: Truthfully, it stemmed largely from wanting my own work reviewed :P | 01:29 |
| ompaul | tonyyarusso, so ask me or nalioth or someone else to look at it | 01:30 |
| tonyyarusso | If done well (ie, some miracle occurs.....), it could also lead users to a better understanding of what they need to change. | 01:30 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: That works too. | 01:30 |
| tonyyarusso | :) | 01:30 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: you're free to take it ot the CC you know. but most of the ops will step down, i suspect. | 01:30 |
| Hobbsee | and the rule of "dont criticise people unless you've walked a mile in their shoes" definetly applies. | 01:31 |
| ompaul | tonyyarusso, putting "IT UP TO" someone who just had to do the irc equivalent of take a baseball out to a random stranger and my not be feeling great after doing it | 01:31 |
| LjL | i wouldn't walk a centimeter in your shoes :P | 01:31 |
| ompaul | is as I have already said .. very much an insult to them | 01:32 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: Hmm, point. | 01:32 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, where is that from? | 01:32 |
| tonyyarusso | I have a thought: | 01:32 |
| Hobbsee | ompaul: that somerville32 was thinking of taking it to the CC? earlier in the logs | 01:33 |
| Hobbsee | ompaul: is this channel still being logged somewhere? | 01:33 |
| ompaul | I think so | 01:33 |
| LjL | hmm i'm not sure it is yet | 01:33 |
| tonyyarusso | What if we made it policy to not review bans for users here until an hour after it had been issued? Surely one hour to walk away from the computer and grab a sandwich won't kill anyone, so it's still minimal inconvenience to them, while giving time for issuing and observing ops to both calm down, and commence their in-pm discussion if applicable, but still giving a chance to appeal? | 01:33 |
| === Hobbsee isnt logging on the client she's reading form, sorry | ||
| ompaul | my take on it after that meeting | 01:33 |
| tonyyarusso | Thoughts? | 01:33 |
| tonyyarusso | ubuntulog: is here | 01:34 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: what happens when they dont actually obey the ban, and keep coming back? | 01:34 |
| Hobbsee | sounds sane, otherwise | 01:34 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, escalate get Freenode involved and have them removed | 01:34 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: i still, and will probably always, stand that ban evading = you're out and no appeal of any kind | 01:34 |
| LjL | but *shrug* that's just me | 01:34 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee fire up xchat and hit them with lart | 01:34 |
| Hobbsee | ompaul: where freenode staffers are unavailable. | 01:35 |
| somerville32 | 1. From the sounds of the e-mail, it is against their TOS to send obscene content - not the http server. 2. When do we decide if an appeal is allowed or not? I just don't see a fair way to determine when and/or if. Besides, if it is _clear_ that the user deserves it, the appeal should be rather quick 3. I think Hawkwind brought that "appeal" time issue up only because of prior incidents. | 01:35 |
| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: Then I say first return, send them a /msg explaining that ban evasion is bad, and they are welcome to come back in an hour. If they continue after that, lay on the smackdown. | 01:35 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, in that event queue it | 01:35 |
| Hobbsee | ompaul: queue? | 01:35 |
| apokryphos | I think any apoint about the appeal being handled badly is absolutely ridiculous | 01:35 |
| tonyyarusso | Ideally, send them the /msg _before_ they have a chance to come back evading | 01:35 |
| apokryphos | we heard him out, he was very abusive, he was banned | 01:35 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, set it up as a message | 01:36 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, for your local favorite freenoder | 01:36 |
| LjL | somerville32: 1) i have no idea 2) i think perhaps if three ops say "no, you were rightfully banned, shut up", if the user still whines, quiet them and be done 3) maybe, but he was saying this about *this* incident it seemed to me | 01:36 |
| tonyyarusso | apokryphos: I agree personally. But, wasn't there, so would rather look at it systemically than individually, for my purposes at least. | 01:36 |
| ompaul | Hobbsee, at this stage you must know a couple of them | 01:36 |
| apokryphos | what happened after that we might be able to discuss, for sure. But he had a fair appeal (regardless of whether he deserved one), and he was abrasive | 01:36 |
| apokryphos | I'm also not all for a systematic process for everything | 01:37 |
| somerville32 | LjL: It is hard to have time appreciation from reading logs. TBH, I think that is a non-issue anyhow. | 01:37 |
| Hobbsee | ompaul: ah right. | 01:37 |
| apokryphos | we are operators (humans), hence we use judgement | 01:37 |
| === Hobbsee --> afk | ||
| LjL | though really, *sigh*, we shouldn't have a *rule* to decide when an appeal's an appeal... it really should be obvious when someone is *that* abusive. but ok i'm living in my own world. | 01:37 |
| ompaul | apokryphos, did you get that on news at 11 ;-) cos you are right | 01:38 |
| somerville32 | And I think your second point really hightlights a major issue - some of our attitudes towards users. | 01:38 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: i think you should be in #ubuntu and have ops in there for a while. | 01:38 |
| apokryphos | ompaul: 8) | 01:38 |
| somerville32 | Abusive user or non-abusive user, we must be professional and respectful at all times. | 01:38 |
| apokryphos | somerville32: so you agree that there is nothing contentious to the original appeal process? | 01:39 |
| LjL | professional, yeah, respectful, well yeah, though we don't have to treat them with golden gloves... *but* it doesn't mean you deserve more than 10 seconds of appeal *no matter what* you have done | 01:39 |
| somerville32 | ... | 01:39 |
| LjL | if you're like the guy i tried for a while to give you a bantracker pointer too, do you deserve more than 10 seconds of my attention? no, really, no | 01:40 |
| apokryphos | also just read your comment about the CC now, somerville32 | 01:40 |
| somerville32 | The appeal process really doesn't exist | 01:40 |
| LjL | and that will never change with me | 01:40 |
| somerville32 | People come in here and complain | 01:40 |
| somerville32 | and nobody is going to reverse anything | 01:40 |
| somerville32 | Infact, more people just get upset | 01:40 |
| apokryphos | we don't have to unban people for the sake of them appealing | 01:41 |
| apokryphos | which is what you seem to be suggesting | 01:41 |
| tonyyarusso | somerville32: Do you think my idea of an hour to cool down and discuss privately before that step would help that fact? | 01:41 |
| tonyyarusso | apokryphos: +1 | 01:41 |
| LjL | that's ompaul's idea but anyway :P | 01:41 |
| ompaul | LjL, if it works it is in the public domain | 01:42 |
| apokryphos | somerville32: now, unless you're going to have weight in your point, you're going to have to actually demonstrate that there's something wrong in the appeal process | 01:42 |
| apokryphos | which consists of someone's ban not being reversed when it should have been | 01:42 |
| PriceChild | I like tonyyarusso's idea, but until that hour is over I feel all ops should be seen to publically support the banning op | 01:42 |
| apokryphos | s/unless/if/ | 01:42 |
| LjL | PriceChild++ | 01:42 |
| PriceChild | (well ompauls) | 01:42 |
| somerville32 | apokryphos, The issue is more complex then that. | 01:43 |
| apokryphos | a lot of these ideas are good, and we said we'd be a team but I'm not really seeing that | 01:43 |
| LjL | support *if asked*, of course, you don't *have* to brag around and say "hey, look what a beautiful ban LjL did" ;-P | 01:43 |
| ompaul | somerville32, I think you don't understand the position you are putting an op in | 01:43 |
| ompaul | have they no right to support? | 01:44 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: I'd rather not see them at all. As in user walks in, says hey, one op says "We'll be happy to review in an hour's time, but not before then. See you in a bit?" And go back to idling. | 01:44 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: haha | 01:44 |
| somerville32 | ompaul, I'm not sure what context you're speaking in. | 01:44 |
| LjL | ompaul: sure they do, i'm just saying, for the sake of avoiding ambiguity, that if you don't like a ban, you're not *required* to lie and say you do. you can keep silent - for that one hour at least | 01:44 |
| === tonyyarusso made that exact point in our meeting before | ||
| somerville32 | We're kind of offtopic | 01:45 |
| ompaul | somerville32, no we are on topic | 01:45 |
| apokryphos | we're not | 01:45 |
| somerville32 | Since we waited more then 1 hour before addressing the issue | 01:45 |
| apokryphos | anyhow, I'm off to bed | 01:45 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, but do you think things should be handled immediately? | 01:46 |
| LjL | somerville32: perhaps we waited too long, this time | 01:46 |
| gnomefreak | member cloaks cant be klined? | 01:46 |
| ompaul | gnomefreak, but they can be lost | 01:46 |
| gnomefreak | well i mean like everyone else? | 01:46 |
| LjL | one day is probably too long, the involved ops will have gone away, and talking with *other* ops will only get them more angry ("talking behind their shoulders") | 01:46 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, In the vast majority of cases I believe that the ops should all pull together as a team... temporary bans are nothing... | 01:46 |
| LjL | so really, there's probably a timing that is best. i don't know if an hour is best, but probably a day's too long | 01:46 |
| gnomefreak | ompaul: that i found out by watching. but to join a channel with autokline i can just reconnect | 01:47 |
| === gnomefreak likes that. didnt know that :) | ||
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: I don't think we should do anything immediately. In other words, any ban that is set stands for at least an hour. What happens later can vary. Most of the time I would expect an hour later it would be confirmed by another anyway, but I see little point in pinging everyone and getting them to say "I'll support that" in the meantime or whatever. Am I making sense? | 01:48 |
| PriceChild | tsmithe would like to request his ban to be removed from -offtopic | 01:48 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe was baned from -offtopic? | 01:48 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, yeah completely | 01:48 |
| tsmithe | for days | 01:48 |
| === ompaul thinks /me had something to do with that | ||
| tsmithe | for the whole, venezuela thing | 01:48 |
| tonyyarusso | tsmithe: aaah. Has it happened before. | 01:49 |
| tonyyarusso | ? | 01:49 |
| tsmithe | nope | 01:49 |
| tsmithe | well | 01:49 |
| tsmithe | it? | 01:49 |
| tonyyarusso | ompaul: I think I remember this. | 01:49 |
| === ompaul goes to check | ||
| tonyyarusso | tsmithe: Banning specifically. You could mention any warnings also. | 01:49 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, I don't mean everyone should appear... I'm just saying that whoever deals with the person entering -ops should say "I am not going to go back on this staff member's decision" etc. The ban stays in place for at least an hour (or more) and I stand by the ops decision. | 01:49 |
| === gnomefreak never gets to ban tsmithe :( | ||
| tsmithe | tonyyarusso, i don't think i've been banned much from there before... and i don't recall much about anything? | 01:49 |
| tsmithe | gnomefreak, is that some kind of weird op privilege, banning me? | 01:50 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: Right, that can be part of their explanation. I think I see what you're getting at now. | 01:50 |
| tsmithe | :P | 01:50 |
| gnomefreak | i think daniel is the only devel i have banned and it wasnt even him | 01:50 |
| tsmithe | heh? | 01:50 |
| PriceChild | tsmithe, you're our bitch | 01:50 |
| tsmithe | PriceChild, i know! :( | 01:50 |
| === tsmithe hugs PriceChild | ||
| === PriceChild hugs tsmithe | ||
| tsmithe | yays! | 01:51 |
| gnomefreak | tsmithe: someone was using daniel's nick (dh...) spammingone night | 01:51 |
| tonyyarusso | tsmithe: reading | 01:51 |
| tsmithe | gnomefreak, ahh k | 01:51 |
| ompaul | tsmithe, you mention your trip again and you will be gone for a week | 01:51 |
| tonyyarusso | gnomefreak: I remember that! | 01:51 |
| tsmithe | ompaul, i won't; course not | 01:51 |
| somerville32 | Why can't he mention his trip? | 01:51 |
| tsmithe | i think it counts as spammage | 01:52 |
| ompaul | somerville32, he spams | 01:52 |
| tonyyarusso | somerville32: He wants money for it | 01:52 |
| tsmithe | somerville32 knows that :P | 01:52 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe: Spamming isn't nice :( | 01:52 |
| tsmithe | i don't | 01:52 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe: Then why were you banned? | 01:52 |
| tsmithe | it's not like i go in; hit and run style | 01:52 |
| ompaul | somerville32, and tell me this - why don't you know this rather than ask us here - this is what we were saying all along | 01:52 |
| tsmithe | i'm not going to argue how it's not spam | 01:52 |
| tsmithe | you're the ops here, not me | 01:52 |
| tonyyarusso | tsmithe: Also, while we normally don't let behaviour in one channel influence decisions in another, I think PriceChild (?) said you did the same thing in the forums channel - behave there too please? | 01:52 |
| === TomSwift [n=regerror@user-142h773.cable.mindspring.com] has left #ubuntu-ops [] | ||
| tsmithe | tonyyarusso, of course | 01:53 |
| ompaul | tsmithe, it is spam - very simply - I get to say that and understand that spammers go out of the channel with bans | 01:53 |
| somerville32 | ompaul: I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you asking a question? | 01:53 |
| PriceChild | tsmithe, has learned his lesson about the spamming I've muted him enough in #ubuntuforums | 01:53 |
| === gnomefreak testing repos for packages for the last time tonight | ||
| somerville32 | Can you qualify "this"? | 01:53 |
| PriceChild | and the -offtopic one | 01:54 |
| ompaul | somerville32, ehh no, I am being retorical, you could hit the bug bot and see what he is being removed for | 01:54 |
| === Jucato [n=jucato@124.106.176.133] has joined #ubuntu-ops | ||
| === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v Jucato] by ChanServ | ||
| PriceChild | he hasn't repeated in some time | 01:54 |
| tonyyarusso | tsmithe: One suggestion that imo would make it less spamlike would be if you happen to be discussing the trip, and someone seems interested, invite them to your #tsmithe-venezuela channel, and post the link to your blog there rather than in these channels. | 01:54 |
| somerville32 | ompaul: It isn't working. | 01:54 |
| PriceChild | I would like to vouch for him.... but then again i'm not an op in -offtopic | 01:54 |
| tsmithe | tonyyarusso, good idea... that channel does sit a tad empty :P | 01:54 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: Thanks. | 01:54 |
| ompaul | PriceChild, being banned tends to prevent it being repeated | 01:55 |
| PriceChild | ompaul, indeed :) Its up to you | 01:55 |
| tsmithe | ok... but you don't mind if i link to my blog not about the venezuela thing, right? | 01:55 |
| tsmithe | as in a post i've made on it | 01:55 |
| === gnomefreak got up this morning -offtopic was quiet (not a person talking) for about an hour. found all the -offtopic chat going on in here | ||
| somerville32 | ompaul: Capital punishment tends to stop repeaters too. | 01:55 |
| LjL | somerville32: tried lately? it seems to be back to normal now for me | 01:55 |
| somerville32 | LjL: k | 01:56 |
| tonyyarusso | tsmithe: As long as it's not pointing to a page regarding donations I think I'd be fine | 01:56 |
| ompaul | somerville32, they get an appeal lasts years .. but does not happen 20 seconds after the judge says byeeeee | 01:56 |
| mc44 | tsmithe: and is low in regularity | 01:56 |
| tsmithe | tonyyarusso, ok cool | 01:56 |
| somerville32 | ompaul: True ;] | 01:56 |
| somerville32 | Welp, bbiab | 01:56 |
| tsmithe | mc44, yes | 01:56 |
| === gnomefreak almost gave tsmithe a way to get around it but im hushing now | ||
| tsmithe | i actually think i wasn't "regular"... it was kinda sporadic | 01:57 |
| Hobbsee | gnomefreak: well, they do, but they autoreconnect. at least mine did | 01:57 |
| tsmithe | it was definitely often, though | 01:57 |
| gnomefreak | Hobbsee: ty i didnt know that ;) | 01:57 |
| tonyyarusso | tsmithe: All right - let's see how you do for a while, eh? :) | 01:57 |
| === tsmithe hugs tonyyarusso | ||
| tsmithe | of course | 01:57 |
| gnomefreak | tsmithe: if you post to the blog is fine <hint> have the donations part on a different page a link on you blog page but shhhhh i didnt tell you that :) | 01:58 |
| tsmithe | :) | 01:58 |
| gnomefreak | oh and dont overly post it | 01:58 |
| tsmithe | i actually didn't expect any donations | 01:58 |
| PriceChild | we're watching you tsmithe ;) | 01:58 |
| tsmithe | but i've made 30 :) | 01:58 |
| tsmithe | so i'm happy | 01:58 |
| === Mez waves | ||

| tsmithe | i just dunno how much that is | 01:59 |
| somerville32 | Mez: People aren't happy with how you handled the incident last night. | 01:59 |
| tsmithe | a lot? a little? | 01:59 |
| LjL | wow, a dollar's twice a pound now? wow. | 01:59 |
| LjL | err i mean, the opposite | 02:00 |
| gnomefreak | about 60 dollars not bad | 02:00 |
| tonyyarusso | Mez: #1, a number of people weren't happy with your #asdfg redirect. Other things also ensued. | 02:00 |
| ompaul | tsmithe, please head off back to the other place this is not your average chat room - but I think you have gathered that already | 02:00 |
| tsmithe | i have | 02:00 |
| somerville32 | Mez: Not to mention how you apparently tried to exploit his system, etc. etc. | 02:00 |
| tsmithe | goodbye | 02:00 |
| ompaul | or lurk happy in the corner | 02:00 |
| LjL | oh Mez... hi. wait, actually i think that redirect of yours came up later, the heat started before anyone talked about that | 02:00 |
| tsmithe | ompaul, happy as always :) happier than before, of course, though ;) | 02:01 |
| Mez | tonyyarusso, - he didnt actually go in there- h e quit before I sent him that message | 02:01 |
| === ompaul looks at the cloak | ||
| ompaul | clock even | 02:01 |
| Mez | somerville32, apparently tried to - I said i could have if I wanted to but didnt | 02:01 |
| somerville32 | Mez: Your conduct was rather... despicable as an "representative" of the Op Team. | 02:02 |
| somerville32 | Hawkwind resigned over it | 02:02 |
| Mez | somerville32, wtf? | 02:02 |
| ompaul | somerville32, that is emotive | 02:02 |
| tonyyarusso | somerville32: Could we not "" that? We _are_ representatives. | 02:02 |
| somerville32 | tonyyarusso, Every action we take represents the the IRC op team and Ubuntu at large. | 02:03 |
| mc44 | somerville32: also your characterisation of Hawkwind's resignation is inaccurate | 02:03 |
| Hobbsee | Mez: read the logs. somerville32's going on and on about hwo it's unacceptable, yet hasnt actually faced such a thing himself. better take his comments with a grain of salt | 02:03 |
| ompaul | somerville32, your use of english and mine differ hugely but that was uncalled for | 02:03 |
| somerville32 | Ok | 02:03 |
| somerville32 | You're right | 02:03 |

| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: I'll grep | 02:22 |
| LjL | uhm dunno about Amaranth, not anything recent anyway | 02:23 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: means a while back | 02:23 |
| LjL | well, i don't believe i'm the best one to give an explanation of that | 02:24 |
| Mez | LjL, well what should I have called myself... | 02:25 |
| Mez | as an op, surely I am a representative | 02:25 |
| LjL | Mez, i agree | 02:25 |
| Mez | plus it had been discussed in IRC about 1 mneptok calling them | 02:26 |
| Mez | and 2) me emailing them | 02:26 |
| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: I can confirm that first statement. | 02:26 |
| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: Up until yesterday | 02:26 |
| LjL | Mez, that's not really the issue, it's just how it started. anyway no use arguing with me about it, since i agree | 02:26 |
| Mez | when I rang them after he started join flooding the network, they asked if I was "from oo bun two" | 02:26 |
| LjL | the one thing i do disagree with (i haven't really read the logs, so maybe there are others, but i can't say) was that redirecting to klining channel business | 02:26 |

| somerville32 | What happened to you for your misconduct is being used in comparison to Mez's misconduct and how things should be dealt with. | 02:30 |
| tonyyarusso | Amaranth: And most of us (?) don't know what it was. | 02:30 |
| Amaranth | You mean what did I do to get in such trouble? | 02:31 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah | 02:31 |
| somerville32 | He was mouthy in a non-ubuntu channel | 02:31 |
| tonyyarusso | Whether it's a valid comparison or not I don't know. Whether you want to explain is up to you. | 02:31 |
| Amaranth | somerville32: The insults were mutual. :) | 02:32 |
| Amaranth | But yeah | 02:32 |
| somerville32 | It isn't a direct comparison | 02:32 |

| Mez | jenda: lol | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | jenda: That wasn't the channel he attempted to get him to join | 02:39 |
| Mez | somerville32, actually, it was | 02:39 |
| jenda | somerville32: incorrect - I'm quite sure it was. | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | Maybe it was | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | but I'm pretty sure that isn't what he reported here | 02:40 |
| jenda | While it may have been a kill channel some time in the past, it's certainly not now, nor has been for some time... besides, kill channels don't exist. | 02:40 |
| jenda | somerville32: check the logs, yes it is. | 02:40 |
| Amaranth | jenda: kill channels don't exist, eh? "ignore the man behind the curtain"? :) | 02:41 |

| somerville32 | jenda: Sorry, you're right | 02:42 |
| Amaranth | So why exactly was someone being compared to me as if I'm the example of a horrible person? :) | 02:42 |
| somerville32 | For some reason I thought it was #asdfdf | 02:42 |
| somerville32 | or | 02:42 |
| somerville32 | #asdfgfg | 02:42 |
| jenda | np :) | 02:42 |
| somerville32 | or something like that | 02:42 |
| jenda | that was his nick. | 02:42 |
| Mez | Amaranth, cause I'm evil ;) | 02:43 |
| somerville32 | Amaranth, No. | 02:43 |
| Amaranth | Mez: awesome, wanna join my secret club? | 02:45 |
| Amaranth | oops | 02:45 |
| Amaranth | everyone, press /clear | 02:45 |
| Mez | Amaranth, you mean #ubuntu-evil ? I've been idling in there for months | 02:45 |
| Amaranth | shh! | 02:45 |
| Amaranth | btw, did you see what i said about django and mod_python? | 02:46 |
| Mez | Amaranth, nope | 02:46 |
| Amaranth | Turns out I don't need mod_python because when you use django with mod_python you have to restart the server whenever you change the code | 02:47 |
| Amaranth | so i'm going the fastcgi route | 02:47 |
| Mez | Amaranth, ew | 02:47 |
| Amaranth | yeah | 02:47 |
| Mez | but Amaranth technically you can restart it - just make a subdomain and change somehting abut it | 02:47 |
| Mez | that restarts the server ;) | 02:48 |

| Amaranth | Please don't use what happened to me as some sort of precedent, I still think it was excessive. | 02:51 |
| Amaranth | Mez: what about it? | 02:51 |
| Mez | use PHP :P | 02:51 |
| Mez | it's easier | 02:51 |
| Amaranth | meh | 02:51 |
| Amaranth | the idea is supposed to be that you use their really kickass built-in testing server then when you finish the project you upload it to the production site | 02:52 |
| Amaranth | and you don't change anything in production until you've gotten all your changes done with the testing server and made sure it's all working | 02:53 |
| Mez | lol | 02:53 |
| Amaranth | it's meant for huge websites | 02:53 |
| Amaranth | i guess one of the sites the creators run got farked and he didn't even notice until the site admin asked him why they got 3 million extra hits in one day | 02:53 |
| Mez | lol | 02:56 |

| Hobbsee | somerville32: talking to jono | 09:18 |

| somerville32 | I'm so going to the next UDS - even if I have to swim. | 09:19 |
| Hobbsee | why, what were you hoping for, somerville32? | 09:19 |
| Hobbsee | note to self: get a passport | 09:19 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, Nothing. I'm just amazed by this whole existence. | 09:19 |
| tonyyarusso | I'd like to go to a UDS, but a) have no way to pay for it, and b) have no idea what I'd do there other than look around in a mix of wonderment and confusion | 09:19 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: how so? | 09:20 |
| === Hobbsee would need sponsorship | ||
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, It is so... surreal. | 09:20 |
| tonyyarusso | So, if anyone wants to pay my ticket and hold my hand, I'm in! | 09:20 |
| somerville32 | I'm going to try for sponsorship this UDS or the next one. | 09:20 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: i'm sure the people arent *that* scary | 09:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: No no, not the people - the topics. | 09:21 |
| tonyyarusso | I don't know much about that really hard-core low-level stuff. | 09:21 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: more crack on the forums, i woudlnt worry | 09:21 |
| tonyyarusso | hehe | 09:21 |
| === Hobbsee votes we have another game of teg sometime | ||

| tonyyarusso | Oh, and time, depending when it is. | 09:21 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: you mean you havent seen http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4611592451.html ? | 09:21 |

| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: why am i not surprised... | 09:22 |
| Mez | Hobbsee, I hope to see you at a UDS | 09:23 |
| Mez | or at least LUGRadio Live | 09:23 |
| tonyyarusso | How does sponsoring people for UDS work anyway? | 09:24 |
| somerville32 | Mez: Do you hope to see... me? | 09:24 |
| somerville32 | tonyyarusso, You put your name on the wiki page and cross your fingers? | 09:24 |
| Hobbsee | Mez: UDS, more likely | 09:24 |
| tonyyarusso | somerville32: oh dear | 09:24 |
| Mez | somerville32, maybe not :P I only met you today and you a) bitched at me b) quized me about scott | 09:24 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: you have to do the UDS gauntlet | 09:24 |
| tonyyarusso | Then I'd need, like, a reason. | 09:24 |
| tonyyarusso | a core-dev jousts you? | 09:25 |
| Hobbsee | yup | 09:25 |
| somerville32 | Mez: But I love you now! We're like... best friends! | 09:25 |
| Hobbsee | oookay? | 09:25 |
| Mez | tonyyarusso, it's not that bad... back at UBZ - I got sponsored to go - it was an amazing experience | 09:25 |
| Mez | I was just getting into it | 09:25 |
| Mez | It was just after I'd become a MOTU | 09:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Mez: link me to how it works? | 09:25 |
| tonyyarusso | ah | 09:25 |
| Mez | thttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperSummitMountainView/Sponsorship | 09:26 |
| somerville32 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperSummitMountainView/Sponsorship | 09:27 |
| Mez | tonyyarusso, I didnt know about it | 09:27 |
| Mez | I'd been away for a weekj | 09:27 |
| tonyyarusso | Mez: cool. So if you're accepted, is it everything included, or? | 09:27 |
| Mez | I got back and came on IRC, | 09:27 |
| Mez | tonyyarusso, for me, it was flights, accom, brakfast lunch, plus re-imbursement of up to $50CAD/day for evening meal | 09:28 |
| tonyyarusso | wow | 09:28 |
| Mez | I think I spent a total of $50 on evening meals in the week | 09:29 |
| Mez | I spent a LOT in the bar though | 09:29 |
| Mez | though I won all that and more back when jblack and I went to the casino | 09:29 |
| Mez | grr | 09:30 |
| somerville32 | Mez: Why Canadian dollars? | 09:30 |
| Hobbsee | Mez: wow, really? | 09:30 |
| Mez | somerville32, It was in canada | 09:30 |
| Mez | Hobbsee, which bit ? | 09:30 |
| somerville32 | Oh, right right | 09:30 |
| Hobbsee | [19:28] <Mez> tonyyarusso, for me, it was flights, accom, brakfast lunch, plus re-imbursement of up to $50CAD/day for evening meal | 09:30 |
| Hobbsee | Mez: do you really get all that? | 09:30 |
| Mez | I think it was $50 a day | 09:30 |
| Mez | the rest of it definately | 09:30 |
| Mez | lemme check | 09:30 |
| Hobbsee | as in, the reimbursement/dinner stuff | 09:31 |
| Mez | breakfast and dinner was in the hotel restaurant | 09:31 |
| Hobbsee | yep | 09:31 |
| tonyyarusso | So, the things I do (currently lots of IRC, marketing/UWN, bits and pieces of wiki, and theoretically -classroom) - are those UDS-relevant, or is it pretty much coding? | 09:31 |
| Hobbsee | so there's not that much cost while you're over there? | 09:31 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: well, it's spec stuff | 09:31 |
| Hobbsee | iirc | 09:31 |
| tonyyarusso | While I'm mentioning classroom, hit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/Ideas for me please and add some so I can draw up a 2007 schedule. | 09:31 |
| Mez | Hobbsee, all costs pretty much covered except for alcohol | 09:32 |
| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: I wrote a spec in full, and have 3 or 4 more that are basic but need a drafting, but the full one was rejected for Mountain View :( | 09:32 |
| Hobbsee | heh. well i wont be having any/much of that | 09:32 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: :( what was it? | 09:32 |
| Mez | Hobbsee, why not ? | 09:33 |
| Mez | Serisouly though | 09:33 |
| Hobbsee | Mez: not into drinking much. and i have to drive most of the time | 09:33 |
| Mez | It wa kkinda scary when I realised after I'd spent half my time playing cards with the ex DPL | 09:33 |
| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~tonyyarusso/+specs, the gaim one. | 09:33 |

| tonyyarusso | Mez: I love the C++ hilighting | 09:38 |
| Mez | sat down at a space that looked like it was free | 09:38 |
| Mez | not realising it was the table with mdz, elmo etc etc | 09:39 |
| Mez | lmao :D | 09:39 |
| Mez | I got some strange looks | 09:39 |
| tonyyarusso | Mark's reserved seat? | 09:39 |

| Mez | lucky BA saved my ass on that one *:D | 09:40 |
| Mez | tonyyarusso, they did all introduce themselcves | 09:40 |
| Mez | it was like "and you are" | 09:40 |
| Mez | "oh, I'm mez" | 09:40 |
| tonyyarusso | hehe | 09:40 |
| tonyyarusso | "who?" | 09:40 |

| Mez | s/ell/well | 09:40 |
| Hobbsee | hehe | 09:40 |

| Mez | PriceChild, doesnt mean you cant be part :D | 11:39 |
| PriceChild | So only spent like 10 weeks at home before I went to york | 11:39 |
| PriceChild | hehe yeah | 11:39 |
| Mez | apokryphos, I've bene to ONE lug meeting | 11:39 |
| PriceChild | I've been to 2 York Lug's | 11:40 |
| apokryphos | how was it? | 11:40 |
| Mez | but lugs are mainly mailing lists | 11:40 |
| apokryphos | I see | 11:40 |
| Mez | apokryphos, It was keybuk doing a talk | 11:40 |
| PriceChild | york do things quite often I was surprised | 11:40 |
| tonyyarusso | I want all of my pages to look like http://yarusso.no-ip.org/cesa/template.html, just adding content in the box. Can I import the table like I did some of the CSS, so they don't have to download that all the time? | 11:40 |
| Mez | apokryphos, and jdub | 11:41 |
| apokryphos | I might be staying in brussels with the warwick LUG guys, though, but that's because I know one of the guys through IRC | 11:41 |
| Mez | tonyyarusso, not really | 11:41 |
| tonyyarusso | Mez: dang | 11:41 |
| Mez | apokryphos, come to SBrum for a lug meeting | 11:41 |
| PriceChild | SBrum? | 11:42 |
| apokryphos | tonyyarusso: sure, use php | 11:42 |
| Mez | PriceChild, south birmingham | 11:42 |
| tonyyarusso | apokryphos: And now you've exceeded my skills :) | 11:42 |
| Mez | apokryphos, but that doesnt cache it client side :P | 11:42 |
| Mez | tonyyarusso, <?php include("file"); ?> | 11:42 |
| apokryphos | oh, caching | 11:42 |
| apokryphos | tonyyarusso: it's very easy. And if you use php you can have your whole site in one page | 11:43 |
| tonyyarusso | If I _knew_ php. | 11:43 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm not going to learn it in a weekend. | 11:43 |
| apokryphos | tonyyarusso: I don't know php, too :P | 11:43 |
| Mez | tonyyarusso, <?php include("file"); ?> | 11:43 |
| apokryphos | you don't have to know it | 11:43 |
| Mez | rest of it can be html | 11:43 |
| apokryphos | tonyyarusso: I can send you the index.php from my site, if you like, so you can see how it works | 11:43 |

| apokryphos | I noticed you got the bugtracker working nicely at least, which I just couldn't get to work | 11:54 |
| PriceChild | I've got all of ubotu working i think... Its just a really simple thing that needs to be done... I need to create a blank database :P | 11:55 |
| tonyyarusso | Wow. The ubotu server isn't just slow, it's dead and decomposing. | 11:55 |
| PriceChild | and then I can start stripping out the code we don't need | 11:55 |
| PriceChild | do you think someone's on the other end tinkering? tonyyarusso | 11:55 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: Not a clue | 11:55 |
| apokryphos | probably not | 11:55 |
| PriceChild | :) | 11:55 |
| apokryphos | just major lag, which causes a lot of problems it seems | 11:56 |

| LjL | i think it's just very slow on package searches | 03:45 |
| apokryphos | yeah | 03:45 |
| gnomefreak | i would try not to play too much if the server is that unstable it will quit due to flood | 03:45 |

| ompaul | -ChanServ- An access level of [1] is required for [ACCESS LIST] on #ubuntu-es | 04:16 |
| ompaul | Seveas, ^^ | 04:16 |
| PriceChild | hmm that could take some time... hmm.... | 04:16 |
| ompaul | Jenda I am of the opinion tht needs to be fixed - ubuntu is pretty much open | 04:17 |
| ompaul | they could loose their channel if they don't wake up | 04:17 |

| jenda | ompaul: I'm working on it. | 04:18 |
| PriceChild | has anyone else got logs of a couple weeks ago? | 04:18 |
| PriceChild | I'm sure its them | 04:18 |
| jenda | ompaul: I'm rather upset with them. | 04:18 |
| jenda | ompaul: and the guy refuses to speak english with me, so I have to half guess what he's saying. | 04:18 |
| PriceChild | unleash the true jenda....! | 04:19 |
| LjL | jenda: but you're speaking english with him yourself? | 04:20 |
| jenda | LjL: yes :) | 04:20 |
| jenda | <P3L|C4N0> jenda, cualquier peticion hagalo a traves de Seveas | 04:20 |
| jenda | ok | 04:20 |
| LjL | if you have any questions, ask them through seveas | 04:20 |
| LjL | still | 04:20 |
| jenda | He's basically telling me: I ain't gonna budge unless you force me to through Seveas. | 04:20 |
| LjL | we've *often* had trouble with spanish-speaking clones breaking havoc in #ubuntu | 04:21 |
| LjL | given that attitude, now i wouldn't be perhaps too surprised if that came from -es itself | 04:21 |
| jenda | The LoCo team, I'm sure, should be able to provide some reasonable leadership for an IRC channel. | 04:22 |
| apokryphos | jenda: is he the loco team leader? | 04:22 |
| jenda | ...which is even smaller than this channel. | 04:22 |
| jenda | no | 04:22 |
| apokryphos | just wait till Seveas is around then if he has that attitude | 04:22 |
| LjL | jenda: what is the trouble anyway to start with? the banning thing is solved if i understood this correctly, so what you have an issue with is the private channel and access list, correct? | 04:23 |
| jenda | wait... | 04:23 |
| jenda | yes, he is. | 04:23 |
| jenda | damn | 04:23 |
| LjL | sorry if i've missed something but as you can see i've had to disconnect in the meanwhile | 04:23 |
| jenda | LjL: pretty much - they operate a channel, but don't offer any help with it... wtf? | 04:23 |
| LjL | wait, seveas is the team leader for the *spanish* loco team? :P | 04:23 |
| jenda | You won't find them unless you guess @ops will bring them | 04:23 |
| jenda | no | 04:23 |
| gnomefreak | jenda: pull rank. staff is above seveas | 04:23 |
| jenda | gnomefreak: not necessarily. | 04:24 |
| apokryphos | gnomefreak: but they're not violating any freenode policy | 04:24 |
| LjL | staff is just different | 04:24 |
| jenda | exactly | 04:24 |
| PriceChild | gnomefreak, FNstaff aren't really meant to get involved in channel politics etc. | 04:24 |
| jenda | it's Ubuntu channel policy | 04:24 |
| apokryphos | though it is an ubuntu channel trend to have channels public | 04:24 |
| jenda | They're just bothering staff. | 04:24 |
| apokryphos | it's fine, just wait for Sevy | 04:24 |
| apokryphos | PriceChild: msg? | 04:24 |
| jenda | People won't find ops - and will ask us for hely. | 04:24 |
| jenda | *help. | 04:24 |
| jenda | And we're to help in a spanish speaking channel which refuses to comunicate - I had to _hunt_ down their access list through teh higher staff, too. | 04:25 |
| === gnomefreak thought adding staff to access list of staff not ubuntu | ||
| jenda | gnomefreak: does that sentence make sense? | 04:25 |
| gnomefreak | s/of/was | 04:25 |
| gnomefreak | jenda: it does when i fixed it | 04:26 |
| LjL | well jenda if you have trouble understanding anything they're saying to you, i'm not spanish but being italian i suppose i can guess quite a bit | 04:26 |
| gnomefreak | in other words all ubuntu channels have staff on access list. was that staff that made that rule or ubuntu? | 04:26 |
| jenda | LjL: not at all, I can understand decently... the problem is they don't want to discuss it. | 04:26 |
| jenda | gnomefreak: ubuntu | 04:27 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: no, it was suggested - i think by nalioth - some time ago, and seveas was happy to implement that | 04:27 |
| LjL | iirc | 04:27 |
| jenda | gnomefreak: staff, by policy, doesn't intervene in channels. | 04:27 |
| gnomefreak | ah | 04:27 |
| ompaul | jenda, unless they have "memebership" cards first | 04:27 |
| ompaul | :) | 04:27 |
| jenda | hehe :) | 04:28 |
| jenda | yep | 04:28 |
| === ompaul has a few more doors to do back in a bit | ||
| LjL | gnomefreak: the rationale is that staff often don't feel justified to do *any* op action in a channel (including acting on blatant abuse) unless they're listed as ops, so it's warmly suggested to list them | 04:28 |
| ompaul | one done | 04:28 |
| ompaul | :-) | 04:28 |
| jenda | LjL: yep | 04:28 |
| jenda | LjL: even then, staff prefer to talk people out of it rather than ban. | 04:28 |
| LjL | well the staff is crazy, but that's not what we're discussing :P | 04:29 |
| LjL | all i know is if seveas doesn't show up soon, he'll be kind of overwhelmed when he does... well, he'll be anyway | 04:31 |
| somerville32 | He was already here | 04:31 |
| LjL | ah really? i guess lots of things happen in that strange period of time that people call morning | 04:33 |
| ompaul | let us put it this way, he will lurk in -es he will make a decision and it will be carried out that is the way of the contact for freenode | 04:34 |
| jenda | yep | 04:35 |
| jenda | I think the channel contact should be changed, but that's just me in emotional bias :) | 04:35 |
| LjL | there's some spanish-speaking nuisances in the channel even right now | 04:36 |
| LjL | if the channel contact is the guy who can speak english but refuses to, in concur... | 04:36 |
| LjL | s/in/i/ | 04:36 |
| PriceChild | effie_jayx pm? | 04:37 |
| jenda | LjL: I don't know if he speaks english, actually. | 04:38 |
| LjL | jenda: well, if he understands it... | 04:38 |
| jenda | most probably. | 04:40 |
| jenda | And one other op spoke english with me and removed the ban, and told me to talk to the other guy... as soon as that guy came, the first stopped talking to me altogether, and the other guy (the contact) only spoke spanish. | 04:40 |
| gnomefreak | effie_jayx: speaks spanish ;) | 04:41 |
| PriceChild | gnomefreak, yeah i remembered about him earlier... And I'm almost sure I know him from when the -es irc/forums had a spat | 04:43 |
| gnomefreak | hes on -ve access list | 04:43 |

| LjL | bigfuzzyjesus: you can, i suppose, but i find it unlikely that it will be lifted | 07:24 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | LjL, why so | 07:24 |

| LjL | [Fri Dec 29 2006] [19:31:52] <LjL>now, do we want to give the possibility of appeal? [Fri Dec 29 2006] [19:32:05] <Seveas>LjL, again? [Fri Dec 29 2006] [19:32:11] <LjL>dunno. just asking [Fri Dec 29 2006] [19:32:14] <Seveas>Are we as bad learners as him? [Fri Dec 29 2006] [19:32:17] <Hawkwind>Nope [Fri Dec 29 2006] [19:32:31] <Hawkwind>That should be, I vote no for the appeal | 07:26 |
| LjL | so, i guess not | 07:26 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | seveas obviously has a bias towards me | 07:27 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | i dont think you should vote for an appeal | 07:27 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | i think i should at least get a shot | 07:27 |
| LjL | alright | 07:28 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | even if you dont let me back in | 07:28 |
| LjL | then this is your appeal | 07:28 |
| LjL | i vote "no" against lifting the ban | 07:28 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | is there anyone else in here | 07:28 |
| LjL | assuming there's a voting process in place | 07:28 |
| somerville32 | Ok | 07:28 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | LjL, that vote is based on what | 07:28 |
| somerville32 | bigfuzzyjesus, Why were you banned again? | 07:28 |
| LjL | bigfuzzyjesus: on the number of bans, and on my belief that you'd shortly get another if you were let back. | 07:28 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | somerville32, i have been banned since thanksgiving | 07:28 |
| somerville32 | LjL: [14:26] <Mez_> sorry, those are remoes | 07:29 |
| apokryphos | bigfuzzyjesus: and you were very abusive | 07:29 |
| somerville32 | bigfuzzyjesus, Why? | 07:29 |
| apokryphos | somerville32: https://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/bans.cgi?anonymous=1&query=bigfuzzyjesus&kicks=on&oldbans=on&bans=on&oldmutes=on&mutes=on | 07:29 |
| apokryphos | they're not just removes, of course | 07:29 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | well the last time i was in here a week ago tonyarusso said there would be no prob with ban lift, you were just under a bot attack in #ubuntu | 07:29 |
| apokryphos | that's probably something completely unrelated | 07:30 |
| LjL | well, i think the log preceding your last bans speaks for itself, so i'll let others decide | 07:30 |
| === somerville32 goes to look | ||
| bigfuzzyjesus | i understand that i crossed the line with my comment, but acknowledging that i crossed the line, why is the line not crossed when some one "stabs" someone | 07:31 |
| apokryphos | I explained this to you already several times | 07:32 |
| apokryphos | more than several, in fact | 07:32 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | and each time i didnt understand | 07:32 |
| somerville32 | "bigfuzzyjesus> Gog123: you are a whiney girl that gets hand outs from his parents ant for that i hope you decelop terminal cancer" | 07:32 |
| somerville32 | bigfuzzyjesus, Whats with you and insulting people with terminal disease? | 07:32 |
| somerville32 | First you wish HIV upon Seveas and now Cancer on Gog123? | 07:33 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | somerville32, i dont do it anymore, it tends to get me in trouble | 07:33 |
| apokryphos | "stabs" is equivocal (with a possible non-violent meaning), terminal cancer is not. What don't you understand about that? | 07:33 |
| LjL | bigfuzzyjesus: well, apparently you did it again *after* you'd already *quite* understood it got you into trouble | 07:33 |
| LjL | so, now i have no reason to believe you really won't do it again a third time | 07:33 |
| LjL | i can find some other amusing quotes near that part (which, indeed, was the main reason of the ban), such as "<bigfuzzyjesus> my uncle was hitler" | 07:34 |
| apokryphos | I vote for a definite no. Perhaps come back in a few months and your ban can be re-reviewed | 07:34 |
| LjL | but whatever, the terminal disease alone is enough for me | 07:34 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | knife: use a knife on; "The victim was knifed to death | 07:34 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | that is the definition of stab | 07:34 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | tell me how that is equivocal | 07:35 |
| apokryphos | that is ONE definition of stab | 07:35 |
| LjL | bigfuzzyjesus: no use arguing about this *again*. you were let known that wishing terminal diseases is *not considered ok* | 07:35 |
| LjL | now you knew | 07:35 |
| LjL | and you did it anyway | 07:35 |
| LjL | so, goodbye | 07:35 |
| LjL | appeal is up for what i'm concerned | 07:35 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | can i re appeal in a month | 07:35 |
| apokryphos | no, come back in a few months | 07:35 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | 2 | 07:36 |
| apokryphos | I also suggest you don't try arguing the same issue then too | 07:36 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | ok | 07:36 |
| somerville32 | bigfuzzyjesus, You may appeal your ban on March 19th | 07:36 |
| === somerville32 pencils bigfuzzyjesus into his 9 o'clock. | ||
| bigfuzzyjesus | you do also realize that 4 of those bans were jokes | 07:37 |
| apokryphos | I haven't been going on any other bans | 07:38 |
| apokryphos | well, I knew about the !ops abuse | 07:38 |
| apokryphos | (and the HIV Seveas incident) | 07:38 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | the !ops incident was an accident | 07:38 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | i take full responsibility for the other comments | 07:38 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | but i didnt know that !ops hilighted all the ops | 07:39 |
| somerville32 | bigfuzzyjesus, No, but really. Come back in like 3-4 weeks. I mean, people do worse in #ubuntu-offtopic but you have certainly pushed people's buttons by doing it the same thing twice. | 07:39 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | i had honestly never seen that command in a channel. where that is used most is #ubuntu, which i visit only when i am having trouble with my computer | 07:40 |
| somerville32 | It's ok :) | 07:40 |
| somerville32 | You can appeal in a few weeks | 07:41 |
| === bigfuzzyjesus [n=paul@12.206.21.84] has left #ubuntu-ops ["Leaving"] | ||
| somerville32 | [14:42] <bigfuzzyjesus> thank you for acting civil and using a humanistic approach to this instead of a militant approach exhibited by some of the ops | 07:42 |
| apokryphos | somerville32: I wish you would've messaged me before contradicting me in front of a banned user | 07:42 |
| somerville32 | Just a smile can go a long way ;] | 07:42 |
| somerville32 | apokryphos, How did I contradict you? | 07:43 |

| somerville32 | few weeks can be a few months easily | 07:43 |
| LjL | well you did say 3-4 weeks | 07:44 |
| apokryphos | few I consider to be "3 or 4" | 07:44 |
| apokryphos | right | 07:44 |
| somerville32 | It was all rather ambigious | 07:44 |
| apokryphos | I don't believe so | 07:44 |
| somerville32 | *ambiguous | 07:44 |
| LjL | at any rate, are you seriously saying that i should be *nice* to him, other than being respectful though harsh? i utterly disagree. he knew what he was doing very well this time, and he certainly knew he was watched | 07:44 |
| apokryphos | [18:32:13] <bigfuzzyjesus> can i re appeal in a month | 07:44 |
| apokryphos | [18:32:21] <+apokryphos> no, come back in a few months | 07:44 |
| LjL | so he's a troll. i'm not nice with trolls | 07:45 |
| somerville32 | Why get emotionally involved at all? | 07:45 |
| LjL | my problem | 07:45 |
| LjL | still he deserved both the ban *and* the harsh but still respectful way i treated hinm | 07:46 |
| somerville32 | Well, I hope we crack down on the other people in #ubuntu-offtopic then too | 07:46 |
| apokryphos | somerville32: to clarify, I don't mind you disagreeing with me at all, but I think we concluded in the last meeting that we wouldn't disagree in front of [appealing] users | 07:46 |
| somerville32 | apokryphos, It wasn't intentional. I apologize. | 07:47 |
| apokryphos | bad for team solidarity, etc | 07:47 |
| LjL | if you can clear the mess in -offtopic, be my guest | 07:47 |
| apokryphos | ok :) | 07:47 |
| somerville32 | LjL: Well, I don't have ops there so I'm incapable of doing so | 07:47 |
| apokryphos | and now I should be off | 07:47 |
| === somerville32 waves. | ||
| LjL | and i'm not in a position to give you. at any rate, i can tell you that i'm aware that the way -offtopic is handled in inconsistent and kind of poor - however i have not myself decided on the best way to handle that rather peculiar channel | 07:49 |
| LjL | still, in a case when someone clearly intentionally does the same thing twice, i have little room left for doubts | 07:49 |

| gnomefreak | tonyyarusso: not sure i havent seen him in days | 09:39 |
| tonyyarusso | gnomefreak: Huh, okay. Thanks. | 09:40 |
| gnomefreak | if he went to the au confrence he could be traveling | 09:40 |
| tonyyarusso | My question is, um, _very_ non-critical, so I can wait :) | 09:40 |
| gnomefreak | i think that was this past week | 09:40 |
| somerville32 | He was here this morning :/ | 09:40 |

| gnomefreak | Seveas: lives? | 10:01 |
| Seveas | jenda, please don't spam other channels kthxbye (re: -locoteams) | 10:02 |
| Seveas | gnomefreak, finally | 10:02 |
| Seveas | had to work a few nightshifts | 10:02 |
| Seveas | and I bought a car today | 10:02 |
| somerville32 | Seveas: We've had a fun time while you were gone | 10:02 |
| gnomefreak | :) | 10:02 |
| Seveas | somerville32, so I read | 10:02 |
| somerville32 | I think it's all good now | 10:02 |
| jenda | Seveas: will do ;) | 10:02 |
| jenda | Seveas: err, wil not do. | 10:02 |
| Seveas | btw: bot host was down for a bit today | 10:03 |
| jenda | Seveas: what about the -es? | 10:04 |
| Seveas | jenda, tell me more | 10:05 |
| Seveas | <somerville32> I think it's all good now <-- gnomefreak do you agree? | 10:05 |
| gnomefreak | i dont think so | 10:06 |
| gnomefreak | Seveas: i think things that were done need to be looked into jokingly or not | 10:06 |

| gnomefreak | oh and we need to look into why hawkwind quit | 10:07 |
| Seveas | somerville32, I saw that on IRC | 10:07 |

| LjL | Seveas: i haven't seen the bot host being *down*, but they certainly have behaved weirdly in the past two days. seemed more like under heavy load, by the looks of it | 10:13 |
| Seveas | LjL, yes | 10:13 |
| Seveas | it's a bug in planet | 10:13 |
| LjL | yesterday ubotu started parting and joining in succession, it stopped when it was banned from a couple of channels | 10:13 |
| Seveas | it kept on firing of processes that went on running for hours | 10:13 |
| jenda | Seveas: the problem started with #ubuntu-es banning *!*@*x-0* , which is anyone who <has a non-alphanum character in their nick> and <has a cloak>... they wouldn't budge, so the person in question came to me, as freenode staff. I came in the channel, and found that the access list is hidden (requires 1 access) and the channel is set to private. If I wasn't staff, I wouldn't've been able to see the list at all. Soon after I came, the #2 op in that c | 10:14 |
| jenda | hannel spoke to me, politely, and removed that stupid ban. He said I should talk about the other things to the #1 op, who wasn't there. | 10:14 |
| LjL | supybot's certainly a bit sensitive to server load, i could reproduce that here too... well, i didn't *mean* to, but i did anyway | 10:14 |
| Seveas | jenda, is pelicano still #1 op? | 10:15 |
| jenda | Seveas: Then, the #1 guy appeared, and refused to speak english to me. He showed me that there was a @ops command and claimed ops were easy to find. When I explained (in english) that it's not true, when people have to ask freenode for help, he said I should resolve this issue with you. | 10:15 |
| jenda | Seveas: yes. | 10:15 |
| Seveas | jenda, ok, let me ponder about this for a bit while I rebuild a raid array | 10:16 |
| jenda | (ie. he only talked spanish, I talked english, it was rather confusing) | 10:16 |
| jenda | ok. | 10:16 |
| gnomefreak | does he know english? | 10:16 |
| LjL | a traves de you. do you like to be resolved a traves? :P | 10:16 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: apparently he could understand jenda's enlighs | 10:16 |
| gnomefreak | true | 10:16 |
| LjL | yeah, well, that | 10:16 |
| jenda | gnomefreak: I have no way of knowing, but he didn't have a problem understanding me, and the #2 guy sent me to him, in english, so he probably supposed he would talk to me. | 10:17 |
| Seveas | jenda, pelicano speaks decent english and he should as contact person | 10:17 |
| jenda | Yes. | 10:17 |
| gnomefreak | oh | 10:17 |
| jenda | Although I didn't exactly understand what he said (half guesswork), it didn't seem overly polite. | 10:18 |
| jenda | I must admit I wasn't too corteous either - I can pastebin the log if you wish. | 10:18 |
| === gnomefreak uses googles translater most of time when needed | ||
| gnomefreak | it works fairly good on the 5 or so langauges it knows | 10:19 |
| jenda | I didn't have too much trouble understanding, and checked one word in an online dictionary. | 10:21 |
| === TomSwift [n=regerror@user-142h773.cable.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu-ops | ||
| Seveas | jenda, no need to pastebin. I trust your word as ubuntu member/op and freenode staff | 10:23 |
| jenda | ok | 10:23 |
| Seveas | jenda, what do other freenode staffers think about such situations? | 10:23 |
| jenda | I've already got it in the pastebin :) | 10:23 |
| jenda | Seveas: they aren't violating any freenode policies. | 10:23 |
| jenda | It's your channel, basically. | 10:23 |
| jenda | I was there as an Ubuntu op, and only coincidence brought me there as freenode staff. | 10:24 |
| jenda | o | 10:24 |
| jenda | if that makes sense :) | 10:24 |
| Seveas | thing is, I've seen pelicano do weird things before and am inclined to have something done about it | 10:24 |
| Seveas | if I had time, I would ask other #ubuntu-es ops about their opinion and do what seems best after that | 10:24 |
| jenda | It's in your jurisdction, and I personally think the spanish locoteam should do something about it. | 10:24 |
| Seveas | if you have time to do so, please speak with a few of the ops | 10:25 |
| jenda | pelicano is, however, listed as one of the contacts for that, too. | 10:25 |
| jenda | I can't say I exactly have the time, but I'll do it. | 10:25 |
| jenda | Seveas: is 48 hours from now ok? | 10:25 |
| jenda | I'll have enough time then. | 10:25 |
| Seveas | jenda, 480 hours from now would be just as fine | 10:25 |
| Seveas | it's been on my agenda for months | 10:26 |
| jenda | ok | 10:26 |
| jenda | I'll investigate ;) | 10:26 |
| jenda | xuzo is the other spanish team contact, I'll try speaking to him, first. | 10:26 |
