[02:07] <Megiddo> Hi
[02:07] <Megiddo> I am Lord Xeb
[02:07] <Megiddo> I got a question about getting unbanned?
[02:08] <Megiddo> I was looking over all my posts and noticed how many stupid, sensless ones I made
[21:51] <boredandblogging> jussi01: hi
[21:51] <jussi01> boredandblogging: hey
[21:57] <jpds> Evening.
[21:57] <boredandblogging> hello jpds
[21:57] <boredandblogging> @now
[21:58] <jussi01> so, elkbuntu cant make it afaik, waiting on pricey, nal, and Pici
[22:02] <boredandblogging> hmmm
[22:03] <jussi01> pricey seems to be offline...
[22:05] <boredandblogging> Pici was talking earlier in -news
[22:06] <boredandblogging> jussi01: I don't mind waiting for a while
[22:07] <boredandblogging> I'm trying to avoid rush hour traffic anyway
[22:07] <jussi01> well given its midnight here...
[22:07] <boredandblogging> yeah
[22:08] <boredandblogging> 10 more minutes?
[22:09] <jussi01> yeah, maybe more... well see
[22:17] <jussi01> boredandblogging: so can you give me your understanding of this irc contributors team should be?
[22:17] <boredandblogging> jussi01: sure...
[22:17] <jussi01> boredandblogging: we may as well do something constructive
[22:18] <boredandblogging> basically, its a way of giving Ubuntu membership to people who have contributed mainly through IRC
[22:18] <boredandblogging> hah, right
[22:18] <boredandblogging> so instead of going through the regional boards
[22:19] <boredandblogging> to get approved, membership can be handled within the Irc Team
[22:19] <boredandblogging> this doesn't mean contributors join the operators team or anything
[22:20] <boredandblogging> its simply recognition
[22:20] <jussi01> yeah, Im getting it
[22:20] <boredandblogging> which is still a bit bizarre to me...
[22:20] <boredandblogging> I understand it, but I don't think we do it like that on most teams
[22:20] <jussi01> so the irc council would vote at our meetings for these peoples memberships?
[22:21] <boredandblogging> correct
[22:21] <boredandblogging> we have to come up with a process
[22:21] <boredandblogging> which should be an adventure in itself
[22:21] <jussi01> and these people would apply for membership in the normal way?
[22:21] <boredandblogging> thats for us to determine
[22:21] <jussi01> hrm.
[22:22] <boredandblogging> so if they were going to go up for regular membership, they would write up a wiki page
[22:22] <boredandblogging> thats a bit more difficult with irc
[22:23] <boredandblogging> documenting irc contributions in general
[22:23] <jussi01> why?
[22:23] <jussi01> I dont see it like that
[22:23] <jussi01> you still get testimonials
[22:23] <boredandblogging> right
[22:23] <jussi01> you still write up what youve done.
[22:25] <boredandblogging> 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] <jussi01> true
[22:27] <boredandblogging> do we have doc outlining how someone becomes an operator
[22:28] <jussi01> boredandblogging: no. dont think so.
[22:28] <boredandblogging> do you think we need one?
[22:28] <boredandblogging> don't think forums have one either for selecting moderators
[22:29] <jussi01> no, not at all
[22:29] <jussi01> operators are selected from good contributors in channels. there is an unwritten rule that if you ask, youll likely not get it.
[22:30] <boredandblogging> right, I meant the criteria that gets them selected
[22:30] <jussi01> I just ask, why do they need that?
[22:31] <boredandblogging> i'm just wondering from a transparency point of view
[22:32] <boredandblogging> if the discussion is public
[22:32] <boredandblogging> or should be public, etc, etc
[22:33] <jussi01> boredandblogging: I can see from your questions youve not been on the ubuntu-irc list long ;)
[22:34] <boredandblogging> i have started reading through it
[22:35] <boredandblogging> jussi01: my bad, I see it now
[22:38] <boredandblogging> hi nalioth
[22:38] <jussi01> boredandblogging: everything a user needs to know about becoming an op is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[22:39] <nalioth> hi
[22:39] <jussi01> hi nalioth
[22:42] <boredandblogging> nalioth: any opinions on the Irc Contributors team?
[22:45] <nalioth> boredandblogging: i just got here :(
[22:45] <boredandblogging> nalioth: jussi01 and I were talking about what we thought it was supposed to be
[22:48] <jussi01> well im off to bed. nini all.
[22:48] <boredandblogging> jussi01: later
