gnomefreakPriceChild: for the most part00:00
Bodsdahi, i help with the #ubuntuforums-beginners team and during our meeting the issue of security was brought up, and also the lack of knowledgge of security in #ubuntu -- i was wondering if i could get a !security factoid with this link in it plz -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 -- what do you think?00:37
LjL!security00:38
ubottuIf you feel the need to adopt security measures for your system, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server00:38
LjLforum threads in bot links should be avoided IMHO, if at all possible00:38
LjLrelevant information should rather be added to the wiki00:38
LjLthat's the actual documentation, after all00:39
BodsdaLjL, -- ok, il get a link added to the wiki from those links ty00:39
LjLgoodnight everyone, reach me by email if you need me, i'm still unlikely to be on irc often right now00:42

ubottuIn ubottu, ikonia said: !no mirror-info is "details on your Ubuntu repository mirrors can be found in /etc/apt/sources.list. Remember you must edit these with root privileges and run "sudo apt-get update" after wards to pickup the changes01:00
PriceChildThere wasn't any discussion on irseek on the Ml was there, just the decision on it?01:03
PriceChildI'm going through the irclogs. for the discussions we had on it01:04
gnomefreakPriceChild: i thought i read something about it when i got home after leave01:10
gnomefreakor i was away when i saw it01:10
PriceChildthe main discussion is at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2007/12/20/%23ubuntu-ops.html01:11
PriceChildI think there was some before that, and a lot in PM.01:12
* gnomefreak not even sure who, why, what, and how IRSeek came about and what interest does a commercial company have in our logs?01:12
mneptokseeing that any company anywhere on the planet can recursively wget the logs from our own logging bots, what's the problem with IRSeek, anyway?01:14
gnomefreakmy main concern on it is what interest is it for company i dont really see any need to have a company log our channels01:14
gnomefreakdifferent to grep search logs than log it for whatever reason01:15
gnomefreakdamn that was fast01:15
PriceChildI'm writing a page for the wiki, you can add viewpoints i miss in a minute01:16

bazhangstdin, okay thanks--could not enter them as users at any rate (no tab complete)02:02
Seeker`bazhang: what client do you use?02:06

mneptokSeeker`: i'm so irssi biased i use a GUI client with a "make it look like irssi" script :)02:09
mneptok(when i use a GUI client)02:09
stdinbazhang: bots are just uses too, they were probably k-lined before you could tab them02:09
* Seeker` notes the irony of the "No discussion" comment just below the huge title saying "IRSeekDiscussion"02:09
bazhangstdin, that is what I had suspected thanks :)02:10

* Hobbsee ponders if emma really will reform, after being told to stop by sabdfl, and will actually behave like a good ubuntu user.09:03

* Daviey wonders if certain ubuntu ops will reform, after being told by sabdfl to stop09:08
Hobbseeprobably09:09
Hobbseeas it is, a lot of the comments have been apologised for.09:09
Hobbseeand i've not seen them again.09:09
Hobbseei think there's useful stuff that will come of the further discussions, including about channels that allow suboptimal things, like personal attacks and stalking.09:09

Myrttioh11:54
elkbuntuDaviey, there is no #*ubuntu* ban on miss E. if there was she would not be in -uk, -meeting and all the other #*ubuntu* channels she's in. In the future, please be factual and avoid twisting things to vilify us12:05
Daviey"us"12:06
Daviey?12:06
Myrttielkbuntu: I got the impression there was a #*ubuntu* ban on her12:13
Daviey-!- emma [n=emma@unaffiliated/emma] has left #ubuntu-bugs [requested by Hobbsee: " you are not welcome here, nor in any other #*ubuntu* channel."]12:17
DavieyI think the fact that the -uk ops were also questioned if they were going to ban emma agrees with my statement.12:18
Davieybut hey, if i'm wrong - elkbuntu, are you suggesting each ban on emma stands on it's own merit for incidents that have happend within tjose chabbels?12:19
elkbuntuDaviey, the -uk ops have been asked due to concerns expressed by one of your longer-term users.12:19
Daviey*spell12:19
Davieynooo, it was asked way before that12:19
elkbuntuthe -us ops to my knowledge have not been approached.12:19
elkbuntumeanwhile, saying one is not welcome does not constitute a ban12:19
Davieysemantics12:20
gnomefreakanyone running intrepid in here yet? chroot or system?12:20
elkbuntuDaviey, the user's issue has been around as long as she's been in -uk12:20
DavieyI can't see where you point is going, but if you want to continue it - i'll be free later12:21
gnomefreak.win 1312:21
elkbuntuDaviey, i think you're refusing to see, as you've refused to help your fellow loco'er12:22
Davieyelkbuntu: can you define who "us" is, please?12:24
elkbuntuDaviey, err... you mean where i said -us? as in -US as in the United States version of -uk aka -UK?12:25
Davieyno12:25
Davieyplease be factual and avoid  twisting things to vilify us12:25
Daviey^ that "us"12:25
elkbuntuDaviey, the main channel ops.12:26
Davieyi don't think i was.12:26
elkbuntuthen why were you petitioning in the meeting?12:27
popeyelkbuntu: i note that neither you nor anyone else on the irc ops team approached me about emma being in -uk12:28
Davieybecause the fact remains, she is banned from most of the #*ubuntu* channels.. if she enters another one - such as #ubuntu-bugs, she is banned very quickly12:28
elkbuntupopey, i was informed that you were approached.12:29
popeyby Hobbsee 12:29
popeywho AIUI isn't on the irc council12:29
elkbuntui was informed that pricechild had too12:29
popeysorry, i said irc ops team, meant irc council12:29
popeyat no point was I approached by anyone _saying_ that this had been escalated to the irc council12:30
elkbuntupopey, one has to be on the council to bring an issue to you? you're close to 'choosing who to respect' here12:30
popeyno12:30
popeyI didn't say that12:30
elkbuntuwhy should it have to be escalated before something gets done?12:30
popeybecause the irc ops are involved in the issue12:30
popeyAIUI if the irc ops are involved in the issue it should be escaled higher12:30
elkbuntuhow are the irc ops involved in one user stalking another?12:30
popeyirc council being one step12:30
popeycc the next12:30
elkbuntuwhich irc op is involved?12:31
popeythe conflict has been between emma and the irc ops IMO12:31
popeymaybe I'm wrong on that12:31
popeythat's my interpretation12:31
elkbuntuum... the person who is being stalked is not an op.12:31
elkbuntuemma is not an op.12:31
Davieyelkbuntu: If you stalk a user, especially cross network - how can you be deemed suitable to deal with it?12:31
popeyi didn't say she was12:31
elkbuntuwhere does 'the ops are involved' fit into one non-op stalking another non-op?12:31
popeyi said the irc ops are _involved_12:31
elkbuntui asked _how_12:31
popeythats yet _another_ issue12:32
popeyi see two issues here, 1) between emma and the irc ops, 2) between one non-op and another non-op12:32
popeythe fact that Hobbsee came to talk to me about issue 2) is related to issue 1) of course12:32
elkbuntuDaviey, who is stalking who now?12:33
Davieyelkbuntu: Did you join another network where emma was on to call her a Liar and make accusations?12:33
elkbuntuDaviey, she is showing up on servers hobbsee and i have been on for over a year12:33
DavieyThat statement is irrelevant12:34
elkbuntuthat statement is not irrelevent. i did not join anything to do anything to her12:35
Davieyso you happend to fall into a channel where only she and another user were talking?12:35
elkbuntui followed up a report12:36
ikoniaall, allow me to clear up something, just so elkbuntu isn't referencing something 3rd hand that may get her into difficulty12:36
ikoniaI've had incidents in multiple channels where some of my peers on other projects have been "queried" about me, the projects I work on and some personal information (nothing of any warrent)12:37
ikoniaSome of that information has been referenced against me in public ubuntu channels12:37
ikonia(against is the wrong word)12:37
ikoniathis information is dropped into conversations by emma at random times12:37
ikoniaI have made a complaint to the -uk staff about this topic12:38
ikoniathe issue was delt with in house as I'm told, so I've not progressed it any futher12:38
popeywho did you complain to?12:38
Davieyikonia: I never recieved this complaint from you12:38
ikoniawell, I complained to Seeker` directly, and then progressed it futher to popey that I wasn't happy with the outcome12:39
ikoniaDaviey: I've not complained to you direclty that I can remember12:39
Davieyok12:39
popeyikonia: _I_ approached _you_ about the spat with emma12:40
ikoniapopey: no12:40
ikoniapopey: you never responded12:40
popeyI did, on april 18th at 11:1812:40
popeyditto :)12:40
ikoniahave you got a log of that conversation (not pulling on logs) I remember prompting you 2 - 3 times about it12:40
popeyyes, looking at it now12:40
ikoniaI also spoke to Hobbsee about it as she was the only available op around at the time and I believe she also took it up12:41
ikoniatook it up with you, I should say 12:41
popeyshe did, she approached me directly12:41
popeyand based on reading a few lines of one day of logs of -uk12:41
popeyshe pretty much said I was unfit to op12:41
ikoniathats not the issue I raised12:41
popeyi would make the log public if Hobbsee gives her permission12:42
Davieypopey: Join the witchhunt, and all this will go away.12:42
ikoniaDaviey: I'm not doing a witch hunt, I'm just making it clear so that someone referencing third hand doesn't get things wrong/blamed12:42
ikoniaactually blamed is a wrong word, my mistake12:42
ikoniadoes get any issue for getting a fact wrong12:43
popeythats appreciated ikonia 12:44
ikoniapopey: however the fact that a complaint is called a witchhunt, because the bigger and on going issues are not seen or aware is why I took it futher12:45
ikoniaDaviey: sorry to use your moment phrase as an example  it is an EXAMPLE only12:45
ikoniathat was not a complaint/moan about Daviey's comment, just an easy example as it was on screen at this moment12:46
popeyi feel it's a witchhunt, yes, because in the same way Hobbsee thinks I'm reacting differently because the issue was with emma in -uk, I believe the ops are acting differently as a result of the people involved12:46
popeyhowever, this is all going over well trodden ground12:47
elkbuntuMany of the op team are scared to do something about wrongdoings such as someone being stalked, because we'll be accused of harrassment, vendettas and witchhunts not just by the wrongdoers, but by people who argue someone's case for the sake of arguing to feel big.12:48
popeyis that aimed at me?12:50
PiciI've had it with the mud-slinging in here, on both sides.  12:51
* Hobbsee has no great problem with the log being given to those who are in here and talking, but does if it gets published somewhere for an eternity.12:58
HobbseeLast i checked, it was not required that i be on the IRC council to take up something that had been brought up with me, but not another member of the IRC council, as they were not at their computer screens.12:59
HobbseeIf that is a requirement, I would ask that I be pointed to wherever all these rules and protocols are listed.13:00
popeyagain, i didn't say that13:01
Davieywell this is another timesink.  Thanks elkbuntu for raising this.13:01
DavieyAt least we clarified that emma isn't banned #*ubuntu* channels.. I think we've all learn't something there13:02
DavieyHobbsee: can you explain why she was banned from #ubuntu-bugs as an example?13:03
HobbseeDaviey: because it's an #ubuntu-wide, non-loco channel (as we do not circumvent you guys) channel ban.13:04
Hobbseeobviously, she needed to stay allowed in -meeting, with the CC stuff.13:04
Davieyhmm.. that is inverse to what wlkhas stated.. or have i missunderstood13:04
Hobbseeand she's only been allowed here again recently.13:04
Davieys/wlkhas/elkbuntu/13:04
elkbuntuum... Daviey how does a main channel-wide ban equal an #*ubuntu* ban?13:04
elkbuntusince there are #*buntu* channels that are not main13:05
DavieyWell considering Hobbsee made reference to it in a ban/remove, i think it's wholly equal13:05
elkbuntuDaviey, "not welcome" does not equate "banned from"13:06
Hobbseeit's unfeasible to ban her in every loco channel, particularly as we are not the ops there.  That much, is up to you people.  I believe she's also in #ubuntuforums for the same reason.13:06
PiciDaviey: I think you're reading too much into it.13:06
Davieyit does, when it's the remove statement.13:06
elkbuntuDaviey, no, it does not.13:06
Davieyour opinions differ13:06
elkbuntuinvariably.13:07
Hobbseehowever, an #*ubuntu*-wide channel ban for all channels that have the ubuntuirccouncil as the contact is probably more correct.13:07
Hobbseewhich, last i checked, should include -bugs, unless it hasn't changed over.13:07
gnomefreakit seeems i took leave at a great time that way i didnt have to deal with her pms and whatever else happened13:07
DavieySo my statement to the CC last night was justified.13:07
Picignomefreak: I envy you 13:07
DavieyAnyway, i honestly don't have time right now if you wish to carry on with this.. I'll be avaliable later if you so wish :/13:08
gnomefreak:) im sure ill end up in something simular at some point again13:08
elkbuntuDaviey, asking once was fine, asking repeatedly was rude, especially since the answer was given.13:12
* Hobbsee is starting to suspect that Daviey has a personal vendetta against her.13:15
Hobbseeit's bad enough that emma does, and is attempting to harass me in multiple networks and channels which have no relation to ubuntu, but Daviey is an op, so should be above such things.13:16
* Hobbsee also is starting to suspect that a subset of the -uk ops are on a witchhunt over a small subset of the ubuntu ops group, too.13:17
elkbuntuHobbsee, according to sabdfl, yes, as an op he should not have a vendetta on you.13:18
Hobbseeasking [18:42] <Daviey> Hobbsee: why can't you just stop it? 8 minutes after anyone had last said anything, seems to just be wanting to incite trouble.13:18
Hobbseeand the things in this log...very revealing.13:18

AmaranthLet it me, get rid of it, whatever16:08
Amaranths/me/be/16:08
gnomefreakPriceChild: you got mine in there but im sure i can think of more if i try hard enough16:08
gnomefreakbtw ubuntulog is still around so why would we need to replace it? i thought the point of it was to replace ubuntulog cause it was gone16:09
gnomefreaki did like thte interface to IRSeek logs16:10
PriceChildi think the main decision in allowing irseek in my mind is... "yeah it doesn't add much, but it doesn't hinder us and it seems petty to stop"16:10
HobbseeAmaranth: probably because most people weren't there, and it suited the -uk guys not to say stuff like that, to shake more dirt on us.16:10
AmaranthI didn't even know about the meeting :/16:10
AmaranthThat was, what, 14 hours ago?16:10
Hobbseewas at 7am local time.  it's 1am nwo.16:11
Hobbseeso, 18, iirc16:11
AmaranthSo I was around16:11
gnomefreakthe 7 years bothers me asa to why so long but its petty at this time since they had already stated they wont change that 16:11
Hobbseei spoke to ariel more about that, with christel.  They were talking about changing it to 2-3 years.16:12
gnomefreakwell atleast from the reply to emmas email16:12
HobbseeOf course, I didn't bother to tell emma to that, because i didn't want to start a few hours worth of query.16:12
Hobbseeand of course, anywhere new that she is, where i turn up, she then starts defaming me16:13
Hobbseeso i figured she could just live in ignorance.16:13
stdinhonestly, I don't get the opposition. there most likely are unknown log-bots in #ubuntu anyway so what's so bad about letting the one we *do* know about log?16:13
gnomefreakafter the way she went at you in -party when i got home i didnt expect you to say much of anything to her16:13
Hobbseestdin: because it's israeli.16:13
Hobbseegnomefreak: i don't remeber the -party stuff, for some reason.16:13
bazhangmilitary16:13
Myrttiyeah, put on your tin foil hats16:14
Hobbseei remember her being annoyed at her getting banned for telling us how to do our jobs, and expressing her distaste at the other guy not being banned before she was.16:14
gnomefreakmy problem is because only bots ran by staff/ops in official channels the bots were official and no other bots now we are letting a non official bot in others will want to bring thier bots in16:14
Hobbseegnomefreak: there are still requirements on whether they can talk.16:14
Hobbseeor set modes, etc.16:15
Hobbseeie, only some of the official bots can talk, adn no others16:15
Hobbseebots which are properly lobotomized are of little consequence.16:15
gnomefreakthe IRCC will need to ammend the guidelines to state that16:16
Hobbseei thought they did somewaht, but it would be nice if they did, yes.16:17
* gnomefreak not really for or against it but i am trying to catch up on it since this all happened on my leave16:17
Hobbseethere's certianly an on join message now16:17
Hobbseeheh16:17
Hobbseestdin: the main problems are that it's israeli, and may end up using the logs for profit, as it's a side project done by a company.16:19
gnomefreakIRSeek has used questionable methods in the past to log channels without permission16:19
gnomefreakthat kind of bothers me without knowing what they did16:19
PiciI'm curious to hear why emma is now okay with Irseek16:20
stdinmost clients log by default, so anyone could do whatever they wanted with the logs they have of just being in #ubuntu16:20
gnomefreakPici: due to the email between her and ariel16:20
HobbseePici: because it doesn't log forever.16:20
Hobbseegnomefreak: it wasn't an email.16:20
gnomefreakoh i thought it was16:21
HobbseePici: the fact that it can still use logs for profit, etc, emma has either forgotten about, or appears not to care about.16:21
Hobbseegnomefreak: nah, was in #irseek-victims - i was lurking in those channels for a while16:21
gnomefreakoh he stated he didnt get to her email but they talked on irc (i dont have link anymore)16:21
Hobbseewas interesting, particularly as i had questions of my own to ask.16:22
gnomefreakhow does ariel fit into IRC or ubuntu other than logging?16:22
stdinHobbsee: in what way could a company (any company, not just IRSeek specifically) use the logs for profit?16:22
gnomefreaki might be misspelling his/her name sorry if i am16:22
Picistdin: datamining perhaps?16:23
Hobbseegnomefreak: ariel == cohead of irseek16:23
Hobbseegnomefreak: i always get it confused too16:23
ubottusoundray called the ops in #ubuntu (kami)16:23
gnomefreakso he has no ties to irc or ubuntu other than to log channels?16:23
Hobbseestdin: unsure.  i'm sure that there's probably some way, if you could sift through and find useful information in it, for  any given problem.16:23
Hobbseegnomefreak: he has an interest in logging irc to produce informatoin in a searchable way, and to let people tap into that resource, pretty much16:24
stdinthey could do the same with the logs kept by ubuntulog 16:24
Hobbseestdin: oh, of course.  but it's a 'slimey israeli company' and therefore shoudl not be encouraged.  So the argument goes.16:24
gnomefreakwell thats kind of what i mean why change what works? what do we (community) get out of IRSeek seeing as they are getting maybe getting something out of it16:25
Hobbseestdin: the argument never did make sense, although emma's essay covers some of the finer points16:25
stdinI think sabdfl made it clear that the discussion should not include the origin of the company16:25
Hobbseesure he did.16:25
stdinso, their argument on that is mute16:25
gnomefreakthe company being based out of anywhere should never be the issue16:26
PiciIndeed.16:26
Hobbseei'm going on their old information that they used to give in here, and in emmaland.16:26
HobbseeI presume it hasn't changed16:26
gnomefreakits kind of against the ubuntu definition16:26
stdinHobbsee: I think that's probably the basis of some peoples objection (IMO)16:27
Hobbseeinterestingly, she's deleted her old blogposts.16:27
Hobbseestdin: which, that it's israeli?16:27
stdinyes16:27
gnomefreakyes16:27
Hobbseelikely.16:27
gnomefreaksomeone at meeting made a comment about that (dont remmeber) but not important who16:28
Hobbseegnomefreak: many did, iirc.16:28
stdinfrom what I have seen, for some that seems to be the predominantly cited reason16:28
bazhanghmm /cs m is not mute but who is16:29
gnomefreakare we willing to do this with other companies that decide he did it i want to do it too16:29
gnomefreakbazhang: lol16:30
Hobbseegnomefreak: assuming the bots are silent, then, yes, i would assume so16:30
bazhangsorry to interrupt :)16:30
Hobbseegnomefreak: as stdin rightly pointed out, if they want to copy the logs off of irclogs.ubuntu.com, then we really can't stop them from doing that either.16:30
gnomefreakbazhang: welcome to any time 16:30
bazhanggnomefreak, :)16:30
gnomefreaki agree16:30
gnomefreakbazhang: mine is /at for mute :)16:31
bazhang:)16:31
gnomefreakwell 10 minutes i think or 15516:31
gnomefreak15 minutes16:31
Hobbseestdin: i *presume* that when they do the IRseek wiki page, they'll find actual reasons why it shouldn't be there, and why they don't like it, apart from it's country of origin.16:32
gnomefreaki guess it wouldnt really matter from the stand point of google since people get our email addresses from chat anyway16:32
stdinHobbsee: well, I hope so16:32
gnomefreakit shouldnt get that far if they are gonna have 2nd thoughts16:33
Hobbseestdin: well, because otherwise mark and the CC would be likely to tell them to go fishing, if htey can't manage to write an objective thing on why something is bad.16:33
Hobbseeparticularly if they happen to make a slur against...say....africans.16:33
Hobbseein the process16:33
gnomefreakout of the 4 points in the lets do IRSeek 1 of them is no guessing or hoping16:34
stdinI have no doubt of that16:34
Hobbseestdin: if they prove, in their writing, that they cannot be objective, then i'd expect them to lose all their credibility with the CC.16:34
Hobbseeon any given issue16:35
bazhangIRSeek is like Tivo :)16:35
* gnomefreak wants tivo i dont care too much about IRSeek16:35
gnomefreak;)16:35
bazhanghaha16:35
PiciAre our irclogs published under a paricular license?16:36
HobbseePici: 'public domain' afaik.16:36
gnomefreakbut the more i look at this wiki im even rethinking my on the fence part16:36
HobbseePici: there's no real way to enforce it, so....16:36
Hobbseegnomefreak: oh?16:36
gnomefreakthe first part "For IRSeek logging" half of them is "they claim" or "as far as we are aware" those are not knowns16:37
gnomefreakthey are kind of " we really dont know enough about this"16:37
Amaranthhttp://people.freedesktop.org/~david/gdu-luks-easy.png <--look it's OS X16:38
gnomefreakand the practices in the past with them16:38
Hobbseegnomefreak: well, 1 certainly seems to be true, for what i've tried16:39
gnomefreakit kind of makes me wonder if we really know enough about this and maybe we need to find hard questions for them16:39
Hobbseealthough it's very hard to search it, just given the amount of data16:39
gnomefreakthier interface is nice in certain ways16:39
gnomefreakyou click on Ubuntu and all i saw was #ubuntu logs im sure it was in otehr channels no?16:40
jribwhat's the difference if irseek logs the channel or just uses the logs ubuntu makes?16:40
Hobbseei also think that these guys are relative pioneers, so aren't going to have the years of research as to whether people find it useful.16:40
gnomefreakjrib: not much of anything16:40
Hobbseejrib: zomg, there's an israeli thing in the room!16:40
stdinHobbsee: you can search the entire logs with google already16:40
Hobbseejrib: apart from that, nothing at all.  maybe a different timezone.16:40
Hobbseestdin: likely, yes16:41
gnomefreakpersonally i think our interface is easier to navigate through "its simple"16:41
stdingoogle has a site filter feature, you can tell it to search only one site, so you just tell it to only search ircligs.u.c16:42
Hobbsee gnomefreak there are certainly obstacles to overcome to make irc logs useful, to search through.16:42
Hobbseestdin: it's still a heck of a lot of content.16:42
Hobbseestdin: i presume that irseek is getting better at determining useful content, somehow.16:42
stdinthey probably are16:43
jribpairing questions with answers and cataloging this info would actually help users16:43
naliothgnomefreak: bottom line: google has all our logs in its DB, the irclogs.ubuntu.com site is publically scrapable, so there is really 0 that we can do one way or the other16:43
* stdin happens to agree with nalioth there16:44
Hobbsee+1 nalioth 16:44
naliothgnomefreak: irseek originally sent its log bots in under anonymous nick!ident and tor16:44
bazhangthey should make the logs into an audiobook16:44
jribwhat's the policy though?  "anyone can log #ubuntu" or "anyone that irc ops approve can log #ubuntu"?16:44
Hobbseejrib: try stoping joerandom logging ubuntu.  his client does it by default16:45
gnomefreakagreed im more so questioning the company and if they are still using "questionable methods" than us acking that might change how people percieve us16:45
naliothjrib: the only folks "authorized" for public logging are ubuntulog and irseek16:45
Hobbseegnomefreak: they say they aren't.16:45
jribHobbsee: I understand that16:45
gnomefreaki say i dont drinks either16:45
gnomefreakbut i had one today16:45
Hobbseejrib: as to logs that are regarded as official....that'd be ubuntulog and irseek.16:45
naliothgnomefreak: they got klined within hours of their arrival back then16:45
gnomefreaknalioth: ah ok16:45
naliothgnomefreak: this is all on the freenode blog    blog.freenode.net16:46
gnomefreakdidnt know there was one :(16:46
gnomefreakthanks ill be back in a bit im gonna read this and maybe eat something16:48
* mneptok yawns17:18
Daviey13:12 <+elkbuntu> Daviey, asking once was fine, asking repeatedly was rude, <-- A member of the CC said i should re-raise the issue in pm17:23
mneptokDaviey: what issue?17:39
Davieymneptok: The issue elkbuntu accused me of being rude by raising.. I really don't want to get into this again.18:06
mneptokDaviey: alright, you should raise it with her, then. if i'm still curious later, i'll find it in logs.18:52

nealmcb!coc20:42
ubottuThe Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/20:42
Amaranth?20:42
nealmcbubottu coc is <reply> The Ubuntu Code of Conduct, to which we ask all Ubuntu community members to adhere, can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/20:43
nealmcbI'm just thinking that the coc doesn't apply itself to users, but to community members20:44
nealmcbprobably some problems with the GPL among other things :-O20:44
nealmcband inserting some commas20:45
stdinsee the word "ask" in the previous definition20:45
nealmcbstdin: I'm a big fan of the coc, but just think it will be best to use it as it is written.  i.e. who is doing the asking?  ubuntu-ops?  ubottu?  If the coc itself were to ask that it would make more sense.  But users aren't asked to do anything in it20:48
nealmcbor "ask all users of ubuntu-related irc channels" perhaps?20:50
mneptoknealmcb: the CoC is not confined to IRC20:50
nealmcbsure - I'm just thinking of how the factoid will be used.  the coc speaks for itself20:50
mneptoknealmcb: anyone participating anywhere within the Ubuntu community of users and members is asked to abide by the CoC.20:50
stdinsigning it is just confirming that you will20:51
basculeis it fair to place and end user lifestyle agreement on an operating system?20:51
mneptokbascule: there is no compulsory agreement, so yes.20:52
PriceChildI think the factoid is referring to people's conduct whilst participating in the ubuntu community... these channels.20:52
mneptokbascule: it's perfectly fair to ask you to exhibit certain behavior when interacting with the community. you may choose not to. there may or may not be consequences to that based on the reaction of the community, members, and leaders.20:53
basculeas in all walks of life, actions have consequnces20:53
nealmcbI noticed this while seeing how it was used recently in #ubuntu-server to refer to a guy mouthing off over the last few days.  I really don't want to have to have this argument with someone who is already hot and belligerant, so having the factoid clarify that it is irc ops asking irc users would help.  Actually, more than "asking" in this case, no?20:55
PriceChild"to which we ask all channel participants to adhere"?20:56
* nealmcb nods20:56
nealmcbexpect?20:56
nealmcbor perhaps a reference to the coc text and to the ircguidelines would be better20:57
PriceChildguidelines are in a seperate factoid, which also references the coc20:57
nealmcb!guidelines21:12
ubottuThe people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines21:12
=== profoX_ is now known as profoX`
PriceChildHey there Jackult[AFK], how can I help?21:33
nealmcbPriceChild: the language in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat is  "When participating in Ubuntu IRC channels, please abide by the  Code of Conduct."   That sounds better to me for the factoid.  I would think that help page should also link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines21:45
MyrttiLots of nicks I don't recognize21:50

nealmcbPriceChild: much appreciated.21:55
PriceChildbascule: I think it has been hilighted lately how we should be much more careful of the contents of this quite public channel. I feel the CC expressed that well.22:14
basculeyeah it did, my concern was more to do with the overall attitude that some comments suggest are being harboured22:16
basculeI am well aware that people are imperfect, and that times are often stressful in main chans22:17
basculebut things said here are known in wider circles, and some of them are easily jumped on to further resentment and ill feeling22:18
PriceChildLost you there, 'some comments suggest'... comments since the meeting?22:18
basculethere were things said by Hobsee earlier today that I felt were further polarising difficulties22:19
PriceChildok22:19
basculemainly in the semantic content of the words being used22:19
basculeI am aware of the situation, and can try my best to see both sides, but I felt such things need to be discussed with different emotional tones22:20
elkbuntubascule, pray tell, how does one describe in one or two words the act of what the definition of stalking is, without mentioning stalking?22:40
Seeker`malicious following22:41
basculeyes that is a fair 2 words22:42
basculebut what would constitute stalking, as you have used that word22:42
basculeand it is the use of that and other terms that I am reacting too22:43
elkbuntuSeeker`, how is 'malicious following' any less polarising than 'stalking'?22:43
PriceChildI think there's a slight difference... stalking doesn't need to be malicious in intent?22:43
Seeker`I dont know, I just answered the question22:43
elkbuntuPriceChild, i agree there22:43
PriceChildI think this is a little petty.22:43
basculewell to me it does, I mean stalking is a designated crime in many countries22:43
Nafalloehrm. someone stalked someone now?22:44
elkbuntubascule, then please give me an alternative accurate non-accusive descriptor to use to describe the act, which will make you happy22:44
elkbuntuNafallo, a few occurances, yes22:44
basculethis isn't about making me happpy22:44
basculethis is about trying to prevent ab already diffcult situation from becoming worse22:45
elkbuntubascule, then if you cannot offer a sensible alternative, do not complain about the descriptors being used.22:45
PriceChildelkbuntu: I don't think that's fair.22:45
basculeit isn't22:45
elkbuntuPriceChild, how is it not fair. how am i supposed to say that someone is being ...... without saying ......22:46
elkbuntui think the expectation to not use a perfectly valid word is unfair22:47
mneptokbascule: let's be fair. i'm sure a lot of things have been said about ops and policies in means and tones that are non-CoC. however, these happen in non-logged channels and private messages.22:47
PriceChildelkbuntu: I think it is unfair to ask someone not to complain if they don't have a solution. That's why we have a team and council, to solve these problems and help make things run smoothly.22:48
basculethe expectation placed on leaders is higher22:48
elkbuntuPriceChild, i think it's quite fair to expect constructive criticism rather than dismissive criticism22:48
mneptokbascule: no one here has ever complained about the "tone" used in ##ubuntu-uncensored, ##club-ubuntu, or any other such channels. if these channels are logged, we don't go looking.22:48
elkbuntuPriceChild, i offer alternatives when i reprimand people for using the g or n words.22:49
MyrttiI feel like a curse word might just soon slip out of my keyboard22:49
Myrttithis is plain silly22:49
mneptokbascule: i can almost guarantee that the outcome here will be ops using private, secret channels to say these same things.22:49
gnomefreakthe word stalker is not an insult nor against CoC why should it be part od censorship? this is just a question nothing more22:49
basculemneptok: and this is what I fear22:49
mneptokbascule: is this what's you want?22:49
MyrttiFCOL22:49
basculeof course not22:49
LjLbascule: and this is what you ("you" generically, you know who you are) have been looking for.22:49
mneptokbascule: so then i suggest removing the micrscope from -ops22:49
Picimneptok: +122:50
basculeI am here giving feedback on how things are affecting people22:50
Picier, Myrtti +1 too22:50
basculethings said22:50
LjLbascule, no22:50
LjLi appreciate your feedback but22:50
basculeI am22:50
LjLthere is a fine point here22:50
basculeok22:50
LjLthings can be said that "affect people".22:50
* gnomefreak thinks censoring what ops say or type is gonna lead to itchy trigger fingers in the long run because the stress will build up22:50
LjLthings can be said that "affect trolls".22:50
basculeI am not trolling, in any way shape or form22:51
LjLjust as mneptok can almost guarantee that a private channel will end up existing,22:51
elkbuntugnomefreak, or, a lack of willingness to act at all for anything. have fun with GNAA22:51
PriceChildIf someone says stalking, they mean stalking. Not really two ways about it and different wording doesn't help. If they shouldn't be accusing of that in the first place.. that's a different issue.22:51
LjLi can almost guarantee that a good troll will always find a way to claim we're saying things we shouldn't be saying here22:51
LjLbascule, it's not you that i'm talking about.22:51
gnomefreakelkbuntu: true22:51
LjLbascule, so the question is22:52
PiciAlso, this channel is for discussion, not for taking one line out of context.22:52
LjLshould we refrain from saying *anything* that *some people* (the ones which i subjectively tend to call trolls) might get upsettely about22:52
gnomefreakIMHO if you censor what ops say example we cant say the word shit than we will hold EVERYONE to that standard at some point due to fairness im not at all saying this will happen this is what i perseve is going to happen22:52
LjLor should we rather use this channel as this channel was intended, a place for ops to exchange opinions in a semi-informal way?22:53
elkbuntuLjL, the requirement to wear a tie and carry a namebadge to the computer is at the next CC ;)22:53
gnomefreaksemi-formal == oh that guy is a real <insert your opinion here>?22:53
basculeI perhaps ned to make this clearer, what I am really getting at here is the following: a situation between some -ops and a user has escalated to the point of it using over an hour off CC meeting time, this was difficult enough22:53
LjLgnomefreak: semi-INformal22:54
gnomefreakah22:54
gnomefreakoops22:54
LjLbascule, i know what you're saying, and while i sound confrontational here, i'm not really being - this time.22:54
basculeto compound that situation with stalking and withch hunc accusations is bad news22:54
PiciOh. /me puts the cumberbun away22:54
LjLbut see22:54
LjLcan i give an example?22:55
elkbuntubascule, it's not something we wanted, but that user has taken way more than an hour individually of all of our individual time. if i calculated my PM logs with this user, it would add up to an extraordinary number22:55
LjLelkbuntu: that's true22:55
LjLthat *does* mean we didn't handle the situation very well, however22:55
basculeand I am trying to help stop it from getting worse22:55
LjLi'm not saying that i know what the good way to deal with it was22:55
LjLbascule, one example22:55
elkbuntuLjL, not entirely, she chose to make it difficult, she practically admitted that to the CC22:55
LjLi'll pretend this is just a random example22:56
LjLit's not random, but what the heck, those who know, know22:56
elkbuntushe intentionally disregarded what most of us said, so she didnt have to take the requests on board22:56
LjLsomeone in this channel says that someone else is "homophobic"22:56
gnomefreakbascule: what was your answer to how to not let it get worse (imight have been having a smoke at the time)22:56
LjLthe one being called homophobic gets pretty upset about it22:56
LjLhe explains that he dislikes homosexual behavior, and speaks against it22:56
LjLbut that doesn't give us the right to label him homophobic22:56
LjL(mind, that wasn't in his presence)22:57
LjLso22:57
LjLthis is the kind of thing that i find UTTER NONSENSE22:57
LjLif we are expected to refrain from saying such things22:57
basculegnomefreak: people need to stop posting inflammtory descriptions of others actions, such as witch hunting and stalking22:57
LjLjust because people like that get upset22:57
LjLwell, i'm not in22:57
elkbuntuLjL, it's random enough that there's a parallel incident where s/homophobic/racist/ and s/homosexual behaviour/someone being a certain race/22:57
LjLelkbuntu: well, it's random enough that there's the exact incident i'm describing, too22:58
PriceChildbascule: what if they are stalking?22:58
elkbuntuLjL, yes22:58
basculePriceChild: surely this is a k-line offence?22:58
basculethis/that22:58
PiciUnlike the rest of the Ubuntu channels, the job of the operators is to talk about people, not packages.  These are people's OPINIONS that we are talking about here.  I'm not sure what us as ops can do if we can't voice our opinions here.22:58
basculeI am not saying opinions shouldn't be voiced22:59
gnomefreakbascule: i didnt see anyone doing that but something people dont understand every user is held to the same standard that we are in the sense of language and actions now ops have more rules we have to follow. I saw you talking to someone about using the word stalker now if we cant use this does that make it right for us to kick or ban a user that uses it?22:59
PriceChildbascule: how can we voice the opinion if we can't say that then?22:59
LjLso bascule, my point here is, i understand your concerns, but gagging ourselves in order to avoid saying anything that loonies might get pissed off about is not on my agenda. which DOES NOT mean that perhaps we shouldn't have refrained from saying *certain* things, however, i want it to be very clear that we can't, and won't, watch every single word we say22:59
basculeI am not trying to silence people22:59
elkbuntuPriceChild, basically we're not allowed opinions22:59
elkbuntuPriceChild, and the *users* complain about censorship...23:00
LjLbascule, k-line offence?23:00
stdinwe can say we have an opinion, but we can't actually say the opinion we have23:00
LjLthose exist still?23:00
basculeLjL: stalking23:00

Pici/nick floodbot2523:01
elkbuntui'm off to be a robot at work. bye.23:01
LjLbascule: but what i'm saying is that *any* opinion that's not about the weather is going to be interpreted as an "unacceptable" attack by some23:01
basculethere has been a larger reaction to this than I expected I have to say23:01
PriceChildbascule: the k-line is always the last resort.23:01
basculeLjL: would it really? I mean if it is then this is a sad situation23:01
LjLbascule, well, what do you think of the example i gave?23:02
gnomefreakdo we have the Talk wiki up yet?23:02
PiciThe weather is offtopic for this channel, please take the discussion elsewhere.23:02
basculePriceChild: I know and appreciate that, but would actuall cyber stalking cause K-line?23:02
LjLbascule: that's an opinion that's been confirmed factually correct by the person opinionated about, too...23:02
PriceChildgnomefreak: for irseek?23:02
PriceChildbascule: as a last resort... there are other options first23:02
gnomefreakno for ops vs users23:02
PriceChildgnomefreak: pardon?23:02
basculeLjL: was that entirely in-house and not a user?23:02
LjLbascule: sorry?23:03
gnomefreakPriceChild: wasnt emma and us supposed to make a talk page about the actions of ops from the meeting or on how we can improve?23:03
PiciI think that sabdfl may have been confusing my comment about sarcasm with the 'death threat-like' comment that was made here.23:03
basculethe example you gave of homophobia, was it an op or a user23:03
basculeLjL: ^23:03
LjLbascule: the person being called homophobic was a user, the person making the statement was an op (sort of)23:03
basculeOK, and the user was OK with this or not?23:04
stdinI can't imagine they would be fine with it, true or not23:04
LjLbascule: no he wasn't. he claimed that, while he dislikes homosexual behavior and speaks out against it, people have not the right to call him homophobic.23:04
Picibascule: No, they were not, but the user was not present in the channel when the comment was madew.23:04
LjLbascule: except in my book that's the very definition of the word23:04
Pici-w23:04
gnomefreakbascule: users will never be happy with actions of ops because if they get out of line most cant agree that they were out of line but that is always gonna be there23:05
basculeLjL: I see what you are saying23:05
LjLbascule: and as Pici says, it wasn't directed to them, it wasn't like "you homophobic bastard" - they weren't here at all, and it was an exchange of opinions with someone else.23:06
basculeunfortunately for you lot, you are going to be held to higher standards than others, I am sorry about that, but it is the way it is23:06
LjLbascule, but the problem is, if the "higher standards" are so high that we cannot express honest opinions about people when asked...23:07
gnomefreakbascule: make a rule for one person everyone than needs to abide by it23:07
LjLthen we're gagged.23:07
* gnomefreak goes to look for dinner23:07
Picignomefreak: good hunting23:08
ompauland persons expressing hatred of other persons or parts of society need to be aware that such behaviour is not sanctioned23:08
basculei would hope not23:08
stdinif my opinion is someone is trolling, and I remove them from the channel based on that, am I not living up to these "higher standards" because I express my opinion by removing them?23:08
LjLbascule, at the end of the day23:09
basculestdin: no you remove them for the good of the channel, not the good of yourself23:09
LjLif someone comes here - say, an op of an international channel23:09
stdinbascule: same difference if I'm in the channel23:09
basculeno23:09
LjLand asks me "i'd like your plain opinion about person x, because i'm dealing with them and i'd like to know"23:09
LjLif i think person x is an idiot23:09
LjLi'll say that i think that person x is an idiot23:09
LjLbecause that's what i call honest feedback23:10
PiciThere are sligh differences between what ops will *action* for, but most of it is based on pre-defined rules, not opinions.23:10
basculePici: is the way I se it too23:10
PiciAlthough most of our opinions coincide with the rules/guidelines.23:10
LjLunsurprisingly.23:10
basculeLjL: well it is honest, but be prepared for backlashes23:11
basculethat is not a threat ^23:11
Myrttiyou know what folks? I'm too piss drunk and too frustrated23:11
ompaulit reads like one23:11
mneptokbascule: if Emma had followed the spirit of the CoC and listened to and followed the prescribed actions of the leaders of the volunteer community, we would not be here today.23:11
stdinbascule: it kind of is (not from you, but in general)23:11
basculeI am sorry Myrtti, I was honestly just trying to diffuse something23:12
LjLompaul, it doesn't read like one, he's simply stating what he fears happens.23:12
mneptokbascule: the first step over the edge of CoC conduct was hers, and she admitted it to Mark yesterday.23:12
LjLand he's probably even too right.23:12
Myrttiif you all could only get past this, pardon moi, SHIT and do something productive that would actually BENEFIT us instead of wallowing in the past too much23:12
stdinsaying "only speak when you have considered the possible repercussions of anything you say"23:12
LjLwhich means that, since i'm unlikely to stop expressing opinions like that, mneptok prophecy comes true.23:12

ompaulbut build up a pile of trouble - if there is no plain speaking about issues23:16

mneptokbascule: i really think you need to stop chatting, go take a long, long look at the chessboard, and rethink your endgame.23:18
mneptokone man's opinion23:18
LjLbascule: right. so if we're to preserve a human-looking face, and i think it would ultimately benefit the community if we do, then i think we NEED to sometimes "speak on our personal opinions and frustrations", even if that causes "backlash" from some people23:18
ompaulmneptok, ehh is it available under the gpl? I would not mind using it23:18
LjL(who don't have any better way to spend time than checking our logs, yes)23:18

ompaulbascule, you are suggesting that ops have no conversational rights in public 23:19
mneptokbascule: "you are pushing things in a direction that does not lead anywhere you want to be."23:19

ompaul- this is not going to be the endgame unless we play it your way -23:19

Myrttiwhat I think is really missing from this converation is that this emma thing is such a small part of the everyday work we ops do23:42
PiciSeeker`: what webpage?23:42
mneptokNafallo: is the correct response to that to stop logging, or to tell certain users that are hell-bent on finding ammunition to take offense at to stop it?23:43

Nafallomneptok: I did not. but you should know how things work. one message from an official of a group gets the message going if no action is taken.23:46
mneptokNafallo: what you are saying to me is, "you did not exhibit poor behavior or judgment, but we're censoring your speech anyway." uncool.23:46
mneptokNafallo: if you have a problem with an individual's speech, take it up with them. but this is not a channel-wide administrative issue.23:48
Nafallomneptok: not what I said. in that case you misunderstood me. so lets touch grounds on one thing... would you say a message like the one I refer to is suitable on a logged channel adhering to CoC in an official role in the project?23:49

Seeker`Nafallo: what message are you referring to?23:50
mneptokNafallo: you are holding the entire group and its channel policies responsible for the words of a single user.23:51
Nafallomneptok: it's just that you seem to argue about it. not explicitely saying that you agree :-)23:51
mneptokNafallo: i argue about you wanting *me* to change *my* behavior because of something i *didn't do*.23:52
tonyyarussoI would like to make a proposal.23:52
Nafallomneptok: you're putting words in my mouth that does not belong there. I'd rather say I hope the group and it's channel reacted right away to the single person in that role :-)23:52
