| elkbuntu | Rafik, you missed the point which is that while there may have been another member accepted yesterday, it was by a different board who had someone with the time to do it. | 13:01 |
| elkbuntu | s/do it/do the 'paperwork'/ | 13:01 |

| Kasra[K] | hi all | 19:37 |
| Kasra[K] | i want to invite ubot5 to #ubuntu-ir-spam | 19:37 |
| Kasra[K] | how can i do that | 19:37 |
| Pici | Kasra[K]: I think there may be a special variant of the bot for loco channels, hold on. | 19:39 |
| Pici | jpds: ping ^ | 19:39 |
| PriceChild | Kasra[K]: what is that channel? | 19:41 |
| Kasra[K] | PriceChild, hmmm for #ubuntu-ir group spams | 19:41 |
| PriceChild | Kasra[K]: why is that needed? | 19:41 |
| PriceChild | Kasra[K]: You don't appear to be part of those rnning #ubunt-ir either. | 19:42 |
| nalioth | what is #ubuntu-ir-spam for? | 19:42 |
| PriceChild | *part of those running #ubuntu-ir either. | 19:42 |
| Kasra[K] | PriceChild, I think because the official channel is for support only | 19:42 |
| PriceChild | Kasra[K]: and -ir-spam would be for...? | 19:42 |
| Kasra[K] | PriceChild, yeah I'm... | 19:43 |
| Kasra[K] | PriceChild, for topic off ;) | 19:43 |
| PriceChild | Kasra[K]: We have plenty of offtopic channels on this network, if ubuntu-ir feel they need their own they can create it. | 19:43 |
| sysdef | so #ubuntu-ir-offtopic will be a better name, i guess | 19:44 |
| Kasra[K] | PriceChild, ok thanx | 19:44 |
| PriceChild | Seems like they have already done it too! | 19:44 |
| PriceChild | Kasra[K]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/ChannelNaming | 19:44 |
| Kasra[K] | PriceChild, thanq a lot.... i wanted to help this group only :D | 19:45 |

| unfo | hi all, does the #ubuntu bot have a factoid something like this? "When describing a problem always tell: -your ubuntu version, -what you did, -what happened, -what you expected to happen, and -what you tried already. Put it all in one long post." | 19:47 |
| Pici | !ask | 19:48 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 19:48 |
| PriceChild | Something has the link to esr's thing doesn't it? | 19:48 |
| Pici | !gq | 19:48 |
| ubottu | Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question. | 19:48 |
| unfo | ppl have told me esr's thing is quite rude | 19:48 |
| Pici | Guess not, something similar though | 19:48 |
| Pici | Actually, I've never read the ESR thing, so Ignore that. | 19:49 |
| unfo | interesting: the !gq webpage is far better than the ESR thing. it's much more concise. | 19:49 |
| unfo | also polite. | 19:49 |
| PriceChild | Pici: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html i believe | 19:49 |
| unfo | yes | 19:49 |
| unfo | could someone here please set the topic of #ubuntu to mention !gq? a topic like this would work: | 20:07 |
| unfo | Official Ubuntu Support Channel | Please /msg ubottu etiquette | If nobody answers, /msg ubotu gq | Be patient and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Install Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | Help with Intrepid is in #ubuntu+1 | 20:07 |
| unfo | dear #ubuntu-irc denizens, could someone here please set the topic of #ubuntu to mention !gq? nobody has yet. And if you could, please also let us know when it the topic has been changed. | 20:31 |
| unfo | Or is there some reason why that should not be part of the topic? | 20:31 |
| PriceChild | We give links to FAQ and etc. | 20:42 |
| PriceChild | People don't read those. | 20:42 |
| unfo | PriceChild: but my goal is not for the Question-Askers to visit !gq. My goal is for the Answerers to point newbie Askers to there. But I think most of the Answerers don't even know there is a factoid called !gq. This will build awareness. | 20:57 |
| unfo | now does it make sense that the topic should mention !gq? | 20:57 |
| unfo | :) | 20:57 |
| PriceChild | I don't like the idea of putting every 'useful' factoid in the topic. | 20:58 |
| jussi01 | unfo: if you start using it appropriately, and it works, then other "helpers" will catch on quick enough. | 21:07 |
| unfo | PriceChild: IMO that factoid is extra useful :) if you've seen http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html you may agree with me. | 21:07 |
| unfo | jussi01: i'm seldom online. | 21:07 |
| unfo | and "gq" is a horrible abbreviation | 21:07 |
| unfo | maybe "good questions" would be better? or good-qs? | 21:07 |
| jussi01 | unfo: it really makes no difference imho. when it starts to be used, the helpers catch on quickly enough. (if its useful) | 21:10 |
| unfo | i.e. i am online twice a year | 21:12 |
| unfo | all: what would be the ideal abbreviation name for that factoid? | 21:12 |
