[21:57] hello jpds [21:57] @now [21:58] Current time in Etc/UTC: January 19 2009, 21:57:57 - Current meeting: IRC Council [21:58] so, elkbuntu cant make it afaik, waiting on pricey, nal, and Pici [22:02] hmmm [22:03] pricey seems to be offline... [22:05] Pici was talking earlier in -news [22:06] jussi01: I don't mind waiting for a while [22:07] I'm trying to avoid rush hour traffic anyway [22:07] well given its midnight here... [22:07] yeah [22:08] 10 more minutes? [22:09] yeah, maybe more... well see [22:17] boredandblogging: so can you give me your understanding of this irc contributors team should be? [22:17] jussi01: sure... [22:17] boredandblogging: we may as well do something constructive [22:18] basically, its a way of giving Ubuntu membership to people who have contributed mainly through IRC [22:18] hah, right [22:18] so instead of going through the regional boards [22:19] to get approved, membership can be handled within the Irc Team [22:19] this doesn't mean contributors join the operators team or anything [22:20] its simply recognition [22:20] yeah, Im getting it [22:20] which is still a bit bizarre to me... [22:20] I understand it, but I don't think we do it like that on most teams [22:20] so the irc council would vote at our meetings for these peoples memberships? [22:21] correct [22:21] we have to come up with a process [22:21] which should be an adventure in itself [22:21] and these people would apply for membership in the normal way? [22:21] thats for us to determine [22:21] hrm. [22:22] so if they were going to go up for regular membership, they would write up a wiki page [22:22] thats a bit more difficult with irc [22:23] documenting irc contributions in general [22:23] why? [22:23] I dont see it like that [22:23] you still get testimonials [22:23] right [22:23] you still write up what youve done. === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [22:25] its a bit harder to pin down in a wiki (not that it can't be done), like a potential forum moderator can say "look at post xyz and thread foo to see who helped..." [22:25] true [22:27] do we have doc outlining how someone becomes an operator [22:28] boredandblogging: no. dont think so. [22:28] do you think we need one? [22:28] don't think forums have one either for selecting moderators [22:29] no, not at all [22:29] operators are selected from good contributors in channels. there is an unwritten rule that if you ask, youll likely not get it. [22:30] right, I meant the criteria that gets them selected [22:30] I just ask, why do they need that? [22:31] i'm just wondering from a transparency point of view [22:32] if the discussion is public [22:32] or should be public, etc, etc [22:33] boredandblogging: I can see from your questions youve not been on the ubuntu-irc list long ;) [22:34] i have started reading through it [22:35] jussi01: my bad, I see it now [22:38] hi nalioth [22:38] boredandblogging: everything a user needs to know about becoming an op is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [22:39] hi [22:39] hi nalioth [22:42] nalioth: any opinions on the Irc Contributors team? [22:45] boredandblogging: i just got here :( [22:45] nalioth: jussi01 and I were talking about what we thought it was supposed to be [22:48] well im off to bed. nini all.
