MarkDudeHow long can a quieting last? Whats normal?  And is it fair for it to be open ended04:55
MarkDudeThere are at least a few people that witnessed my quieting and think that possible days appears to much04:56
MarkDudeThere has been nothing *specific* as to why a q was used04:56
persiaMarkDude, The various sorts of operator actions have timeframes measured in minutes through months.04:57
persiaGenerally, the best option is to discuss the quiet with the operator who quieted you.  This is a good forum in which to do it.04:58
MarkDudeWith usually a warning being issued04:58
* MarkDude remembers that, I am an OP in quite a few channels :)04:58
MarkDudeSure, we have plenty of CoC violations to share all around in the California Team04:59
MarkDudeWe have had jono try to help here, along with paultag akgraner and a few others05:00
MarkDudeThis dates back at least two years, non-transparent deals continually happen behind closed doors here05:00
MarkDudeProcesses are said to be outlined and then are not.05:01
MarkDudePeople have left the group over this05:01
persiaWell, I can't ever be in favour of CoC violations, but I tend to have a somewhat contrary interpretation of the CoC.05:03
persiaThat said, I still think the best way to handle it is to raise it here, with specifics, like the channel in which you are quieted and the operator who quieted you (preferably in their presence).05:04
MarkDudeFor one - I have publically asked the the lead contact of Cali to stop PMing me05:04
MarkDudesince last year05:04
MarkDudeHe is not stopping05:04
persiaIt is my firm belief that the CoC requires us to raise issues rapidly, publically, and respectfully.05:04
MarkDudeDoing it right now05:04
* MarkDude aggres05:05
MarkDudeagrees05:05
FlannelMarkDude: I sent you a query to attempt to resolve your quiet sooner than other people would've been able to handle it, not to have a social conversation with you.05:05
MarkDudeNathan said the team has a Benevolent Dictator.05:05
FlannelMarkDude: And I will once again ask that you refrain from making baseless accusations.05:05
MarkDudeI asked you last year to not PM mer05:05
MarkDudewould anyone like to see my log05:06
MarkDude\I have ASKED you NOT to PM me05:06
MarkDudeI dont trust you05:06
MarkDudeyou say one thing in private05:06
MarkDudethen say it did not happen05:06
FlannelMarkDude: Yes, you did.  However this was a little bit different, considering at the time you were quieted in the channel we usually speak in.05:06
MarkDudewihout warning05:07
MarkDudeCalifornia team organization, management structure, processes05:07
MarkDudeRoadmap05:07
MarkDudeJono wrote a blog entry on roadmaps05:07
MarkDudeNeal says one is "in the works" since Mark suggested it a few weeks ago05:07
MarkDudeSubgroups05:07
MarkDudethat is from last December05:07
MarkDudewhere is that outline of problem solving Flannel ?05:08
MarkDudeThe meeting paultag came to05:08
MarkDudehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/09December1305:08
MarkDudeYou said you would outline a solving process *last year*05:09
IdleOneMarkDude: This is not the place to discuss LoCo roadmaps05:09
MarkDudeyou are the lead contact, Natahn called you a dictator, in the log05:09
MarkDudeIdleOne,  - not roadmaps, that Cali has needed a process to solve differences05:09
MarkDudefor years05:10
persiaUm, these issues are ones I think may be better raised in a forum watched by members of the LoCo council.  This may be such a place, but only coincidentally.05:10
FlannelMarkDude: This channel is for discussion of bans/quiets/etc, this is not an appropriate venue for your soapboxing.  Considering you're still wound up, I'm going to recommend you talk to rww tomorrow about it when he gets back, since I don't think you and I are going to have a productive conversation about it tonight.05:10
IdleOneMarkDude: I understand that but I think a better place/time would be at a us-ca meeting not in here05:10
persiaFlannel, Are you the op who quieted MarkDude?05:10
Flannelpersia: I am not.05:10
persiaAh, then we are off-issue.  Excellent, saves worry.05:10
MarkDudeYou told rww to quiet me05:10
Flannelpersia: I spoke with him earlier today  (in a query) because I was hoping we could resolve it sooner rather than later.05:11
FlannelMarkDude: I did nothing of the sort05:11
MarkDuderww & Flannel  have been talking behind the scenes since jono became involved05:11
Flannelpersia: Or rather, I pinged him.  He was away at the time.05:11
persiarww, If you're about, would you suggest to MarkDude why he was quieted, and what he can do to resolve it?05:11
persiaMarkDude, You are not behind the scenes now.  Please concentrate on the issue at hand.05:12
Flannelpersia: He's detached, for the night I believe.05:12
persiaThat makes it awkward :(05:12
MarkDudeWell no specifics onmy q. no op to do it. You are slick Flannel05:13
MarkDudesoryy irc group05:13
FlannelMarkDude: What?05:13
MarkDudelet me know when This can be fixed05:14
IdleOneerr05:14
FlannelMarkDude: I don't understand your last statement, can you please clarify?05:14
persiaI'm not confident regarding the policy, so I'd appreciate other's input: if the op is not available, does MarkDude have recourse to something else short term?05:14
persiaOh, perhaps that's not an important question.05:14
Flannelpersia: His recourse would be to discuss it with other operators of the channel (like myself), but given his above outbursts, I don't think that conversation would turn out well at the moment.05:14
IdleOnepersia: yes he can always follow the appeals process with the IRCC if he feels an op has quieted/banned without a good reason05:15
IdleOnebut like Flannel said talking to other channel ops would be a first step05:15
persiaWell, thanks for reminding me of process :)  Maybe if he returns.05:15
FlannelIdleOne: I don't think that process applies.05:15
IdleOneFlannel: hmm you may be right, this is a loco channel issue05:16
FlannelIdleOne: Yeah, that policy is just for -ops folks05:16
IdleOneis there a loco channel council of sorts?05:16
FlannelIdleOne: Not for IRC issues, no.05:16
IdleOnewell markdude is upset about a couple of issues. maybe he should take it to a loco meeting?05:17
FlannelThere's a general -locoteams channel (and a locoteams council), but locoteam issues aren't under their purview, I think you'd follow normal conflict resolution things, and then if that didn't work (there's more than one, etc), you'd go to the CC05:17
FlannelIdleOne: following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoResolvingProblems05:18
IdleOnethanks for the link, I'll look it over.05:19
IdleOnewell that says to contact jono05:19
IdleOnefrom what I saw here I think that would be the next step for markdude05:19
FlannelIdleOne: No, the first step would be to talk to the operators05:20
IdleOneFlannel: you tried that, it failed for whatever reason.05:20
FlannelIdleOne: Er, what?05:20
IdleOnenot trying to place blame05:20
IdleOnejust saying mark made it clear he does not want to discuss it with you05:21
IdleOneleast that is how it appeared to me05:21
FlannelI don't think that's the case, and there's still other operators he can go to (like the one who quieted him in the first place)05:21
nhainesActually, Mark hasn't spoken with any of the channel ops since his quieting.05:22
persiaI'd agree with that assessment.  For perhaps unrelated reasons, Flannel makes a poor choice as the "other channel operator" in this very specific case.05:22
persiaBut I don't think the next step ought be "contact jono": that breaks because he's only one person: we have councils for reasons.05:23
Flannelpersia: there's a third as well, and under normal circumstances, I would have no problem (and earlier today was hoping to) resolve the issue.  But with Mark's behavior here, I'm going to bow out due to potential percieved conflict of interest05:23
persiaFlannel, Probably safer: I don't mean any criticism of you as an operator, but it seems there is some unrelated conflict in this case, unfortunately.05:24
