[18:27] <zkriesse> Got a question
[18:27] <zkriesse> Can someone tell me the history of #ubuntu-youth ?
[18:27] <zkriesse> If it was properly set up and all
[18:28] <zkriesse> I recently acquired the lead position of the group/team
[18:28] <jpds> It was.
[18:28] <zkriesse> jpds: Haha
[18:28] <jpds> Then Micheal had it's registation dropped so that he could register it.
[18:28] <zkriesse> Ok that's goofy
[18:28] <jpds> zkriesse: Was ist so lustig?
[18:29] <zkriesse> Wah?
[18:29] <jpds> zkriesse: It was something funky with ops that he couldn't work out.
[18:30] <zkriesse> Ok
[18:31] <zkriesse> jpds: Also, I was wondering if i could make a #ubuntu-youth-council without having to register it with freenode?
[18:31] <jpds> Your choice.
[18:31] <zkriesse> Meaning? My choice to make it or my choice to register it with the freenode staf
[18:32] <zkriesse> Because I know that ##channel does not have to be... #channel does
[18:36] <zkriesse> Any input on that?
[18:38] <Pici> zkriesse: You may want to take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil/Coordination
[18:38] <zkriesse> thanks Pici
[18:39] <MichealH> zkriesse: Umm.... I am lead arent I?
[19:05] <zkriesse> Sorry Pici and jpds forgot to say thanks for the info
[20:51] <phillw> Hi, who do I ask to have ubot2 put onto #lubuntu /
[20:52] <jpds> phillw: /whois ubot2
[21:08] <phillw> jpds:
[21:08] <phillw> From now on you’ll see ubottu in the main (core) channels, and a couple of others. The ubot2 and ubot4 bots will take over many of the channels ubottu was in, and we’ve introduced 3 new “lubotu” bots for LoCo channels. You can see a full list of IRC bots and the channels they’re in on the Ubuntu wiki.ubot2 will take over Team channels A-L
[21:08] <phillw> ubot2 is in such channels as #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu-beginners-wiki etc.
[21:08] <ubot2> phillw: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[21:09] <phillw> dear ubot2, we never make that error ;-)
[21:11] <phillw> jpds: yup, that's the bot I'm asking for - who do i ask for it to join #lubuntu?
[21:17] <guntbert> phillw: did you actually type /whois ubot2 ? :-)
[21:17] <guntbert> jpds' statement wasn't a question
[21:19] <phillw> guntbert: yes i did,
[21:19] <phillw> Nick: ubot2
[21:19] <phillw> Username: ~ubot2@unaffiliated/jpds/bot/ubot2
[21:19] <phillw> Real name: ubot2 :: #ubuntu-irc
[21:19] <phillw> Server: holmes.freenode.net (London, UK)
[21:19] <phillw> Currently on: #ubuntu-beginners #ubuntu-irc #ubuntu-beginners-wiki
[21:19] <phillw> which tells me exactly a big fat zero of who to ask :-(
[21:19] <guntbert> and there you see who is the contact for that bot
[21:20] <guntbert> (hint: look at the part after unaffiliated)
[21:20] <phillw> ahh, I love this cryptic stuff :-\
[21:21] <guntbert> phillw: I looked on the website mentioned and that tipped me off :-)
[21:22] <phillw> jpds: what do you need / I need to ask for ubot2 to join #lubuntu? bear in mind that I have only a very basic knowledge of the bots.
[21:22]  * phillw thinks alanbell is enjoying this ;-)
[21:26] <phillw> sigh, never mind
[21:57]  * jpds walks back onto IRC.
[21:58] <guntbert> jpds: your last answer created a bit confusion :-)
[21:59] <jpds> You have to teach people how to fish, not just give them the fish.
[22:01] <guntbert> jpds: it was only a statement, no critcism :-)
[22:01] <jpds> guntbert: I didn't take it as such.
[22:02] <jpds> It's just something nalioth taught me ages ago.
[22:02] <guntbert> jpds: :)
[22:23] <guntbert> phillw: jpds was back some time ago
[22:24] <jpds> guntbert: Er weiss.
[22:25] <nhandler> Wouldn't it be ubot5 for #lubuntu since it isn't in our namespace ?
[22:29] <phillw> nhandler: ubot2 falls in the A-L :-)
[22:30] <nhandler> phillw: Yes, but #lubuntu isn't in our namespace (just like #launchpad)
[22:30] <phillw> nhandler: well, ubot2 is living there & I do hope it remains there :-)
[22:31] <phillw> .... /whois ubot2
[22:32] <nhandler> phillw: They are all ubottu clones, so it shouldn't really matter which bot is in the channel
[22:32] <phillw> if it good enough for you rather demanding people at #ubuntu-beginners, I'm really grateful of having of having it on #lubuntu
[22:32] <phillw> indeed, it is about sharing the load.
