| arand_ | I've suggested a couple of times a !bootinfoscript factoid, was there reasons not to add it or was it simply overlooked? | 01:15 |

| IdleOne | arand: join #ubuntu-ops, see if someone there can help and maybe add the factoid. I have to go have dinner now. | 01:21 |
| arand | ok | 01:21 |
| arand | Floodbot missing in #ubuntu? | 04:34 |
| syrinx_ | anyone hanging around here? | 05:04 |
| IdleOne | what's up syrinx_ | 05:04 |
| syrinx_ | well, yesterday I talked to tsimpson about becoming an OP | 05:05 |
| syrinx_ | today, I signed the CoC | 05:05 |
| IdleOne | ok | 05:05 |
| syrinx_ | what next? | 05:05 |
| IdleOne | well the way it normally works is that when the powers that be see a need for ops they put out a call for ops on the mailing list asking for people to nominate themselves | 05:06 |
| syrinx_ | ah... | 05:06 |
| syrinx_ | hang tight for now? | 05:06 |
| IdleOne | you applied to the team on launchpad? | 05:06 |
| syrinx_ | no sir, should I? | 05:06 |
| IdleOne | I believe that is what the instructions say | 05:06 |
| IdleOne | read them again and follow all the steps/links | 05:07 |
| IdleOne | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorRequirements | 05:07 |
| syrinx_ | yes, it does. doing that now | 05:08 |
| IdleOne | So make sure you fill all the requirements and hang tight, keep an eye out for "call for ops" on the mailing list | 05:08 |
| syrinx_ | thanks IdleOne | 05:09 |
| syrinx_ | appreciate it very much | 05:09 |
| IdleOne | welcome | 05:09 |
| jussi | o/ | 12:29 |
| jussi | topyli: tsimpson elky nhandler. LjL is interested in getting some bots cloaked with ubuntu cloaks, what do you think? | 12:29 |
| LjL | hi. i'd like to request ubuntu bot cloaks for BestBot and MetaBot. code is open source (although i'm not sure where BestBot is, but it's supposed to be open source anyway) | 12:29 |
| tsimpson | I'm for the bots being cloaked | 12:30 |
| jussi | LjL: Be nice if we can get those codebases into the ubuntu bots on lp project. | 12:30 |
| LjL | jussi: MetaBot is there | 12:30 |
| jussi | ok, great, need to find bestbot then :) | 12:31 |
| jussi | LjL: you have enough access over there right? | 12:31 |
| LjL | i think so | 12:31 |
| LjL | eventually i'd like to make BestBot an ubottu plugin. but then i've been planning that for like years and never did it :P | 12:32 |
| jussi | :P | 12:32 |
| jussi | LjL: is bestbot in python? :P | 12:32 |
| LjL | no, it's php, both bestbot and metabot are the same basic codebase as the floodbots - i'd have to rewrite it | 12:33 |
| LjL | but having it in ubottu would have the important (imo) benefit that you could use parts of it in #ubuntu, specifically what's now "list every xyz". in my mind it'd eventually replace those factoids that just list a ton of packages in a category | 12:35 |
| nhandler | jussi: Per our current cloaking policy, I see no reason that we can't cloak them. As for the ubuntu bots project, I still think we need to clarify what bots can go in there (i.e. I was told awhile ago that classbot couldn't go there currentl, but that the goal was to have all ubuntu ots there at some point in the future) | 12:42 |
| tsimpson | nhandler: why can't classbot go there? | 12:43 |
| nhandler | tsimpson: That was justwhat either you or ussi told me when I asked when classbot first became somewhat stable | 12:45 |
| jussi | I see no reason for it not to be there | 12:45 |
| tsimpson | the only issue I see is that we'd have to add the maintainers of classbot to the ~ubuntu-bots team | 12:45 |
| tsimpson | btw, I did look into having the ubuntu-bots project be a "umbrella" project for different bots, but it'd end up being just superficial (a "project" with just a list of other project and nothing shared between them) | 12:46 |
| nhandler | tsimpson: Didn't LP recently add the ability to have an LP admin turn a project into an umbrella project like that? | 12:47 |
| tsimpson | probably, but it won't really do us much good | 12:47 |
| tsimpson | they'd still all just be separate projects, that just happen to be listed on one page | 12:48 |
| tsimpson | umbrella projects just show that projects are related, but there is nothing shared between projects | 12:49 |
| tsimpson | so there would still be separate code hosting, but tracking, teams, etc | 12:49 |
| tsimpson | basically umbrella projects *only* contain a list of other projects, nothing else | 12:50 |
| tsimpson | at least, that's what I was told when I asked a few months back | 12:50 |
