=== LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [12:43] howdy [12:43] how do I go about requesting an Ubuntu Member cloak? [12:46] make sure your nick is set up and with a mail address [12:46] !register [12:46] Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode [12:47] mdz: also put the url of your launchpad here so they can check your memeber status [12:47] http://launchpad.net/~mdz [12:47] this nick is registered [12:48] now; wait and be patient :) [12:48] names [12:49] elky: Pricey jussi01 ping? [12:57] hiya mdz [12:59] 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. [13:00] 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) [13:01] 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?) [13:04] 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] hmm, interesting [13:05] the only documentation I found was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/Cloaks and it states that all Ubuntu members are eligible [13:05] 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. [13:06] 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] mdz: so it does. Im curious to why its been told other wise. [13:06] jussi01, could you check into it and get back to me when you know more? [13:08] mdz: absolutely. and I fixed the page for you :) [13:11] jussi01, thanks [13:36] In #ubuntu-ir, Mohammad[B] said: !forget [13:37] thanks ubot2 [13:37] always usefull :) [13:55] mdz: Sorry for the wait, Ive been corrected. Please set an email on your account, see: /msg nickserv help set email [13:55] Pricey: nalioth other staff, please cloak mdz with an ubuntu member cloak. [13:55] jussi01, does it matter what I set the email to? [13:55] jussi01: ok [13:56] mdz: as long as its not a throwawyay email, I dont beleive so. [13:58] i just wait for the email setted [14:13] mdz: did you get sorted? === LjL-Temp is now known as LJL === LJL is now known as Ljl === Ljl is now known as LjL [15:08] is _IdiotObama_ a violation on nicknames rules ? [15:20] it offends me.. [15:22] well he left already... [15:25] no, its not. IMHO [15:29] it's not like there *are* explicit nickname rules in the first place [15:30] \/nick jususchrist_is_a_dick [15:32] ok; reread ircguidelines thoought there was something about nicks there [15:32] but there is not :) [15:33] something really offensive to all/most seems pretty clear cut [15:34] eg very explicit nicknames [15:34] erUSUL, i didn't say that bad nicks *won't be acted upon* [15:34] i just said there are no explicit rules about them [15:35] some things are best left to human interpretation, methinks [15:36] 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 [15:37] well yes, but saying it is different from having it as a nickname [15:37] note also that i didn't give my opinion on the appropriateness of that nickname to begin with :) [15:39] 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? [15:40] 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... [15:41] erUSUL: i wonder what all those people whose first name is "Jesus" thought of it, though [15:42] or rather Jesús, but there are no accents on irc masks [15:42] LjL: lol. people from english speaking countries do not realize how comon that name is in latin countries XXDD [15:43] my brother in law is Jesus Manuel ;) [15:43] erUSUL: not realizing this sort of thing is the reason i think we should always very careful making rules about nicknames [15:51] ... [15:53] yep; true enough [15:54] he was just outright trolling [15:55] that's a different issue if he was [19:06] jussi01: mdz have no email for the moment === jdong_ is now known as jdong [21:18] jussi01, niko, I did /msg nickserv set email ... but I never got an email at that address to confirm [21:20] mdz: sounds like a freenode problem. niko Pricey nalioth or other staff member should be able to help. [21:21] mdz: what was the exact command you issued (minus the email address)? [21:21] jussi01, I just checked and it looks like it has arrived now, and was just delayed [21:21] oh, ok :) [21:21] jussi01, should be verified now, can you confirm? [21:22] mdz: ok, I see it. you may want to /msg nickserv set hidemail on [21:22] jussi01, good advice, thanks [21:22] I didn't realize it would be published by default [21:22] mdz: ok, you are good to go. [21:23] could a staffer please give mdz an ubuntu member cloak ? [21:23] mdz: that should be actioned soon. [21:23] jussi01, thanks! [21:24] mdz: any other issues just ask :) [21:25] done [21:25] ok, laters all [22:29] §ev [22:55] mdz: hidemail is set by default. Your email shouldn't be public.
