|---|---|---|
| mdz | how do I go about requesting an Ubuntu Member cloak? | 12:43 |
| erUSUL | make sure your nick is set up and with a mail address | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | !register | 12:46 |
| ubottu | Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | mdz: also put the url of your launchpad here so they can check your memeber status | 12:47 |
| mdz | http://launchpad.net/~mdz | 12:47 |
| mdz | this nick is registered | 12:47 |
| erUSUL | now; wait and be patient :) | 12:48 |
| erUSUL | names | 12:48 |
| erUSUL | elky: Pricey jussi01 ping? | 12:49 |
| jussi01 | hiya mdz | 12:57 |
| jussi01 | mdz: As I understand it, we are not to give out member cloaks to Canonical staff, but you need to go get a canonical cloak from whoever the group contact for canonical is. I have a feeling that is James troup, but not certain of that at all. | 12:59 |
| nhandler | jussi01: I know for a fact that Canonical employees can get ubuntu member cloaks. If you want to confirm that, just do a /msg nickserv info dholbach (who is a canonical employee) | 13:00 |
| jussi01 | nhandler: noted, but still, Ive been informed otherwise for now. Untill Im told differently, thats what Im going with. (and is that a legacy one perhaps?) | 13:01 |
| nhandler | jussi01: Well, I'm not sure what the real policy is, but I have seen *many* canonical employees with Ubuntu member cloaks. I have seen a few canonical cloaks for the LP people, as well as some canonical gateway cloaks, but most of them tend to have ubuntu/member cloaks. But, in the end, it is your decision | 13:04 |
| mdz | hmm, interesting | 13:04 |
| mdz | the only documentation I found was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/Cloaks and it states that all Ubuntu members are eligible | 13:05 |
| jussi01 | mdz: Ive nothing against approving a cloak for you :) but I was told not to for canonical empoyees. However, until I get this checked, I dont want to go against it. | 13:05 |
| mdz | by the way, it would be nice if the explanation at https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-cloaks linked to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/Cloaks | 13:06 |
| jussi01 | mdz: so it does. Im curious to why its been told other wise. | 13:06 |
| mdz | jussi01, could you check into it and get back to me when you know more? | 13:06 |
| jussi01 | mdz: absolutely. and I fixed the page for you :) | 13:08 |
| mdz | jussi01, thanks | 13:11 |
| ubot2 | In #ubuntu-ir, Mohammad[B] said: !forget | 13:36 |
| niko | thanks ubot2 | 13:37 |
| niko | always usefull :) | 13:37 |
| jussi01 | mdz: Sorry for the wait, Ive been corrected. Please set an email on your account, see: /msg nickserv help set email | 13:55 |
| jussi01 | Pricey: nalioth other staff, please cloak mdz with an ubuntu member cloak. | 13:55 |
| mdz | jussi01, does it matter what I set the email to? | 13:55 |
| niko | jussi01: ok | 13:55 |
| jussi01 | mdz: as long as its not a throwawyay email, I dont beleive so. | 13:56 |
| niko | i just wait for the email setted | 13:58 |
| jussi01 | mdz: did you get sorted? | 14:13 |

| erUSUL | is _IdiotObama_ a violation on nicknames rules ? | 15:08 |
| bazhang | it offends me.. | 15:20 |
| erUSUL | well he left already... | 15:22 |
| jussi01 | no, its not. IMHO | 15:25 |
| LjL | it's not like there *are* explicit nickname rules in the first place | 15:29 |
| erUSUL | \/nick jususchrist_is_a_dick | 15:30 |
| erUSUL | ok; reread ircguidelines thoought there was something about nicks there | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | but there is not :) | 15:32 |
| bazhang | something really offensive to all/most seems pretty clear cut | 15:33 |
| bazhang | eg very explicit nicknames | 15:34 |
| LjL | erUSUL, i didn't say that bad nicks *won't be acted upon* | 15:34 |
| LjL | i just said there are no explicit rules about them | 15:34 |
| LjL | some things are best left to human interpretation, methinks | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | LjL: ok; ok as i said i thought there was rules about what was a not acceptable nick... but in this case if someone had said obama is an idiot in the channel he would have gotten at least !offtopic XXDD | 15:36 |
| LjL | well yes, but saying it is different from having it as a nickname | 15:37 |
| LjL | note also that i didn't give my opinion on the appropriateness of that nickname to begin with :) | 15:37 |
| LjL | erUSUL: about jesus though, did you know anything containing "jesus" was banned from #ubuntu until some time ago, to begin with? do you see any problem with that? | 15:39 |
| erUSUL | well yes; i do not like/agree_with the aproach... but religion is a very sensitive issue so i can understan why someone may think that is neccesary to do that... | 15:40 |
| LjL | erUSUL: i wonder what all those people whose first name is "Jesus" thought of it, though | 15:41 |
| LjL | or rather Jesús, but there are no accents on irc masks | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | LjL: lol. people from english speaking countries do not realize how comon that name is in latin countries XXDD | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | my brother in law is Jesus Manuel ;) | 15:43 |
| LjL | erUSUL: not realizing this sort of thing is the reason i think we should always very careful making rules about nicknames | 15:43 |
| bazhang | ... | 15:51 |
| erUSUL | yep; true enough | 15:53 |
| bazhang | he was just outright trolling | 15:54 |
| LjL | that's a different issue if he was | 15:55 |
| niko | jussi01: mdz have no email for the moment | 19:06 |

| mdz | jussi01, niko, I did /msg nickserv set email ... but I never got an email at that address to confirm | 21:18 |
| jussi01 | mdz: sounds like a freenode problem. niko Pricey nalioth or other staff member should be able to help. | 21:20 |
| jussi01 | mdz: what was the exact command you issued (minus the email address)? | 21:21 |
| mdz | jussi01, I just checked and it looks like it has arrived now, and was just delayed | 21:21 |
| jussi01 | oh, ok :) | 21:21 |
| mdz | jussi01, should be verified now, can you confirm? | 21:21 |
| jussi01 | mdz: ok, I see it. you may want to /msg nickserv set hidemail on | 21:22 |
| mdz | jussi01, good advice, thanks | 21:22 |
| mdz | I didn't realize it would be published by default | 21:22 |
| jussi01 | mdz: ok, you are good to go. | 21:22 |
| jussi01 | could a staffer please give mdz an ubuntu member cloak ? | 21:23 |
| jussi01 | mdz: that should be actioned soon. | 21:23 |
| mdz | jussi01, thanks! | 21:23 |
| jussi01 | mdz: any other issues just ask :) | 21:24 |
| niko | done | 21:25 |
| jussi01 | ok, laters all | 21:25 |
| niko | §ev | 22:29 |
| Pricey | mdz: hidemail is set by default. Your email shouldn't be public. | 22:55 |
