jussibeen done?12:01
topylidone12:01
jussiexcellent, thats it then.12:01
jussioh, assuming you did the report, which I see ;)12:02
jussiRight, so todays agenda is just Matt's one, is ikonia here?12:02
elkyI pinged him a min ago, he seems detached.12:03
jussiSince his item is not really something we can discuss without him, I suggest we pass over it.12:03
jussiAlso, I think we should remove it for now, he is welcome to add it again if he can make the meeting. Sound good?12:04
topyliin fact i would suggest remov... yeah12:04
jussihehe12:04
jussiok, so, anything else anyone has on their mind?12:04
tsimpsonthere is something I just remembered...12:04
tsimpsonregarding enabling ubottu bug information in support channels12:05
jussioh yes12:05
jussiIve no problem with a trial in #u - seems fine in #k12:05
tsimpsonit's currently enabled in #kubuntu and #xubuntu (iirc), with rather low traffic12:05
tsimpsonhow long would we trial it in #ubuntu for?12:06
tsimpsonuntil the next meeting maybe?12:06
jussitsimpson: sounds good.12:06
topylitwo weeks is enough12:06
jussiright, so a qucik vote?12:07
elkyWe can always pull the plug before the meeting if it's painful.12:07
topylii could do a similar chattiness review again like i did for #k and #x12:07
jussitopyli: perfect12:07
tsimpsonyeah, obviously we'll need to keep an eye on it12:07
elkyIf we need to have a meeting to stop an issue in the channels then there's something wrong.12:07
topyliyes if it gets clearly disruptive it should be disabled before the time's up12:08
jussi[vote] Put ubottu bug parsing on in #ubuntu for trial until our next meeting.12:08

tsimpsonknome: though others are welcome to comment :)12:09
topyliwe have the option to turn it off if it's disruptive of course12:09
jussitopyli: of course.12:09
tsimpsonjussi: I'll take that action then12:09
jussi[action] tsimpson to enable bug parsing in ubottu for #ubuntu12:09
MootBotACTION received:  tsimpson to enable bug parsing in ubottu for #ubuntu12:09
tsimpsonooh, I just remembered something else :)12:10
jussi[action] topyli to do stats for the trial ubottu period12:10
MootBotACTION received:  topyli to do stats for the trial ubottu period12:10
topyliwe should announce it on the mailing list so ops can keep an eye on it12:10
jussisure. elky want to do that?12:10
elkyjussi, im unfamiliar with the k and x process, so probably best topyli does it.12:11
tsimpsonelky: I think he meant the announcement to the list12:12
jussithats right.12:12
elkytsimpson, then it'll be a one-liner of "We are going to enable bug information in #ubuntu." becauase I know nothing else.12:12
jussielky: just need to say we decided to turn it on, watch and see what happens, and itll be reviewed at the nxt meeting12:12
jussiwith the usual, please tell us if theres an issue.12:13
jussi[action] elky to send mail to the -irc list to inform ops about the change.12:13
MootBotACTION received:  elky to send mail to the -irc list to inform ops about the change.12:13
jussianything else from peoples? if not, Ill get the usual post meeting stuff sorted.12:13
tsimpsonthe other thing I remembered is: should #ubuntu- "game" channels be allowed, I think it was niko who asked for wolfenstine(?)12:13
jussitsimpson: wolfy12:14
jussithats a good point.12:14
elkyIt may be a while too. I'm trying to move my mail to gmail and I don't trust it right now.12:14
topylitsimpson: oh yes. i can't see why they should be in the namespace12:14
topylielky: joys of imap upload eh :)12:15
tsimpsoniirc, he wanted to setup 2 channels, but the issue was if it's allowed or not, and I could not give an answer12:15
elkytopyli, well more the cleanup when it fails the first time.12:15
topyliah12:15
topyliyes iirc the game needs two channels, one for the game and one for chat12:16
jussiI think we need to have a policy of somehting along the lines of that we accept channels that are for building or supporting ubuntu in some way.12:16
elkyApparently thunderbird doesn't much like being told to delete 40k mails in one hit.12:16
tsimpsonthe general (unwritten) policy that I gathered is that, if it's an LP team we generally allow channel creation12:16
tsimpsonbut that's not such a good policy to have, anyone can create a team12:17
jussiI think this needs some more thought - about what channels we accept into the namespace12:17
tsimpsonand I just thought of another issue when we finish this one :D12:18
topyliyep. i joined the ubuntu-smokers team a while back. i haven't yet created a channel though :)12:18
elkyRFC time?12:19
topylidraft needed first12:20
jussiI think the best thing is we have a think about this, perhaps jot down some thoughts, and come back to it next time. I can take an action to put down a few points.12:20
jussi[action] jussi to put down some thoughts on namespace limits.12:20
MootBotACTION received:  jussi to put down some thoughts on namespace limits.12:20
topyligreat12:20
jussitsimpson: next?12:20
tsimpsondual-cloaks12:20
jussi ahh, I thought we had this discussion? Do we not accept them now?12:21
tsimpsonwe have nothing saying we do/don't12:21
elkyIs there a written policy about it?12:21
jussiright, I know we have given them in the past.12:21
elkyWe seem to be writing policies about every other thought process, why not this one too.12:22
jussiI dont have an issue, as long as the second cloak is not a group/name that stands against our CoC or so.12:22
tsimpsondo we allow do we allow /*/ubuntu.member.*?12:22
tsimpsons/do we allow /12:22
jussitsimpson: we have staff with that, though Ive not seen otherwise.12:23
elkytsimpson, it would break our member cloak access settings which is less of an issue with staff. We might want to chance our member cloak access settings to cater for that if they become numerous enough.12:24
tsimpsonI know staff have them, but mostly because *!*@freenode/staff/* need to be on access lists12:24
tsimpsonI'm wondering if we should just generally allow for anyone who wants it12:24
tsimpson(I think we should btw)12:24
jussitsimpson: can you think of any issues from it?12:25
jussiIm not against it, Im just trying to see any reasons why not?12:25
tsimpsonthe only thing that would break, ask elky said, is our *!*@ubuntu/member/* channel access12:25
elkyWhich is something we can mitigate.12:25
tsimpsonbut that's not a huge issue, we can always just add *!*@*/ubuntu.member.*12:25
jussiI guess thats up to the person if they feel thats something they need.12:26
elkyI think it's a worthwhile thing.12:26
jussiI wonder how that works with staff - do we then need to somehow reserve ubuntu.member from being used in cloaks? (right now we just have ubuntu/member/ )12:27
jussi[vote] Allow dual cloaks, with the possibility of */ubuntu.member12:27
MootBotPlease vote on:  Allow dual cloaks, with the possibility of */ubuntu.member.12:27

tsimpsonI'm pretty sure it already is reserved, but we can ask12:27

MootBot+1 received from topyli. 4 for, 0 against. 0 have abstained. Count is now 412:28
elkyOne of the main reasons we've never been so enthusiastic about it is because when Nalioth was serving council, he was quite adamantly against it as he thought the cloaks that are handed out freely (and abused) would soil the ubuntu name.12:28
jussi[endvote]12:28
MootBotFinal result is 4 for, 0 against. 0 abstained. Total: 412:28
tsimpsonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Cloaks needs updating then12:28
topyliwas reading scrollback, sorry12:28
tsimpsonto reflect that there are more that 2 possible cloaks12:29
jussiright, so who wants the action for that?12:29
* tsimpson will12:29
jussi[action] tsimpson to change wiki12:29
MootBotACTION received:  tsimpson to change wiki12:29
jussiand the email to inform people?12:29
tsimpsonmay as well do that at the same time12:29
jussithe email should probably go to the cloaked people at the same time - perhaps send it with the message this group lp feature?12:30
persiaPlease give suggested syntax for replacement masks in the email, to have some standardisation over channels.12:30
jussi[action] tsimpson tosend the mail regarding the cloaking change.12:30
MootBotACTION received:  tsimpson tosend the mail regarding the cloaking change.12:30
tsimpsonpersia: I'll need to ask some staff if @*/ubuntu.member.* is reserved (which I think it is)12:31
jussialso, someone need to query staff about reserving that - if its not already. topyli, you want that?12:31
jussiheh12:31
tsimpsonI'd guess that is is, as many other groups allow similar things12:32
persiatsimpson, Sure.  I just have a few channels to update to reflect it, and would rather use the same string as other folk :)12:32
jussitsimpson: Ill action you for it, itll only take a sec, and then we have it recoded :)12:32
topylijussi: tsimpson is on the roll, don't interrupt him :)12:32
tsimpsonpersia: I'll put examples in the email, and go on a wiki hunt12:32
jussi[action] tsimpson to query staff about the cloak details and reservations12:32
MootBotACTION received:  tsimpson to query staff about the cloak details and reservations12:32
jussiok, anything else?12:33
persiatsimpson, Thanks12:33
jussiright then12:33
jussi#endmeeting12:33
MootBotMeeting finished at 06:33.12:33
jussiIll do the clean up.12:34
topylithanks all12:35
nigelbMeetings on sunday <312:37
persiaMeetings *early* on sunday get bonus points12:38
knomeit's not *so* early... :)12:38
elkyMeetings I can actually get to get extra bonus points.12:38
persiaknome, You just explain that to the folk in UTC-11 (who will probably claim it's still saturday night)12:39
knome;)12:40
knomethey can tell that to the folks in UTC+bignumber12:40
nigelbpersia: But it should be late Sunday or early Monday for you.12:41
persianigelb, I'm only in +9, so not so bad.  One of the required attendees for the just past meeting is in +11, and there's plenty of +13 folks around (although not at this hour, usually)12:42
nigelbpersia: Time zones are just painful.12:44
persianigelb, Indeed.  We should all measure time in kiloseconds since epoch.12:45
topyliflat earth ftw12:46
persiatopyli, Won't help, unless you have a static sun.  Constructs around central lighting with controls are better suited.12:51
topyliprobably cheaper than fixing the solar system too12:51
persiaDepends.  There's not much distinction between "fixing the solar system" and "creating a dyson sphere"12:52
MrChrisDruifCouncil meeting over?12:54
vishMrChrisDruif: the irc? yes12:54
MrChrisDruifYeah, the irc. Thanks vish :)12:55
MrChrisDruifThought it would be at 14:00 CET12:55
MrChrisDruifHad it wrong in my head...12:55
persiaCET is only UTC+1 at this time of year.12:56
vishi wonder how a mobius-strip-shaped earth would deal with timezones ;)12:56
vishit would be much more fun :D12:57
persiavish, If it's rotating about a static light source, it's not that different from what happens today.12:58
MrChrisDruifMobius-strip?12:58
MrChrisDruif:P12:59
vishpersia: yea, but i suspect we'd have a whole new list of species too.. (with all those light-depleted zones)  :)13:00
persiahuh?  Nothing would stay light-deprived.  Anyway, this isn't the place for that discussion.13:01
MrChrisDruif-offtopic?13:02
persiaIndeed.13:02
vishiirc, we used to auto-update the topic of this channel for the upcoming meetings right..? if so, why did we stop that?13:06
persiavish, Because the fridge changed to Google Calendar, and the version of iCal offered by Google Calendar is incompatible with the SupyBot iCal reader for recurring events.13:07
vishaw.. :(13:08
persiaPlease fix :)13:08
vish;p  if i knew about supybots i would try..13:09
tsimpsonif you know python, you can try13:10
