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
=== arand_ is now known as arand
IdleOnearand: join #ubuntu-ops, see if someone there can help and maybe add the factoid. I have to go have dinner now.01:21

arandFloodbot missing in #ubuntu?04:34
syrinx_anyone hanging around here?05:04
IdleOnewhat's up syrinx_05:04
syrinx_well, yesterday I talked to tsimpson about becoming an OP05:05
syrinx_today, I signed the CoC05:05
IdleOneok05:05
syrinx_what next?05:05
IdleOnewell 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 themselves05:06
syrinx_ah...05:06
syrinx_hang tight for now?05:06
IdleOneyou applied to the team on launchpad?05:06
syrinx_no sir, should I?05:06
IdleOneI believe that is what the instructions say05:06
IdleOneread them again and follow all the steps/links05:07
IdleOnehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorRequirements05:07
syrinx_yes, it does. doing that now05:08
IdleOneSo make sure you fill all the requirements and hang tight, keep an eye out for "call for ops" on the mailing list05:08
syrinx_thanks IdleOne05:09
syrinx_appreciate it very much05:09
IdleOnewelcome05:09

jussitopyli: tsimpson elky nhandler. LjL is interested in getting some bots cloaked with ubuntu cloaks, what do you think?12:29
LjLhi. 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
tsimpsonI'm for the bots being cloaked12:30
jussiLjL: Be nice if we can get those codebases into the ubuntu bots on lp project.12:30
LjLjussi: MetaBot is there12:30
jussiok, great, need to find bestbot then :)12:31
jussiLjL: you have enough access over there right?12:31
LjLi think so12:31
LjLeventually i'd like to make BestBot an ubottu plugin. but then i've been planning that for like years and never did it :P12:32
jussi:P12:32
jussiLjL: is bestbot in python? :P12:32
LjLno, it's php, both bestbot and metabot are the same basic codebase as the floodbots - i'd have to rewrite it12:33
LjLbut 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 category12:35
nhandlerjussi: 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
tsimpsonnhandler: why can't classbot go there?12:43
nhandlertsimpson: That was justwhat either you or ussi told me when I asked when classbot first became somewhat stable12:45
jussiI see no reason for it not to be there12:45
tsimpsonthe only issue I see is that we'd have to add the maintainers of classbot to the ~ubuntu-bots team12:45
tsimpsonbtw, 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
nhandlertsimpson: Didn't LP recently add the ability to have an LP admin turn a project into an umbrella project like that?12:47
tsimpsonprobably, but it won't really do us much good12:47
tsimpsonthey'd still all just be separate projects, that just happen to be listed on one page12:48
tsimpsonumbrella projects just show that projects are related, but there is nothing shared between projects12:49
tsimpsonso there would still be separate code hosting, but tracking, teams, etc12:49
tsimpsonbasically umbrella projects *only* contain a list of other projects, nothing else12:50
tsimpsonat least, that's what I was told when I asked a few months back12:50
