[01:15] I've suggested a couple of times a !bootinfoscript factoid, was there reasons not to add it or was it simply overlooked? === arand_ is now known as arand [01:21] arand: join #ubuntu-ops, see if someone there can help and maybe add the factoid. I have to go have dinner now. [01:21] ok [04:34] Floodbot missing in #ubuntu? [05:04] anyone hanging around here? [05:04] what's up syrinx_ [05:05] well, yesterday I talked to tsimpson about becoming an OP [05:05] today, I signed the CoC [05:05] ok [05:05] what next? [05:06] 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] ah... [05:06] hang tight for now? [05:06] you applied to the team on launchpad? [05:06] no sir, should I? [05:06] I believe that is what the instructions say [05:07] read them again and follow all the steps/links [05:07] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorRequirements [05:08] yes, it does. doing that now [05:08] So make sure you fill all the requirements and hang tight, keep an eye out for "call for ops" on the mailing list [05:09] thanks IdleOne [05:09] appreciate it very much [05:09] welcome [12:29] o/ [12:29] topyli: tsimpson elky nhandler. LjL is interested in getting some bots cloaked with ubuntu cloaks, what do you think? [12:29] 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) [12:30] I'm for the bots being cloaked [12:30] LjL: Be nice if we can get those codebases into the ubuntu bots on lp project. [12:30] jussi: MetaBot is there [12:31] ok, great, need to find bestbot then :) [12:31] LjL: you have enough access over there right? [12:31] i think so [12:32] 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] :P [12:32] LjL: is bestbot in python? :P [12:33] no, it's php, both bestbot and metabot are the same basic codebase as the floodbots - i'd have to rewrite it [12:35] 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 [12:42] 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) [12:43] nhandler: why can't classbot go there? [12:45] tsimpson: That was justwhat either you or ussi told me when I asked when classbot first became somewhat stable [12:45] I see no reason for it not to be there [12:45] the only issue I see is that we'd have to add the maintainers of classbot to the ~ubuntu-bots team [12:46] 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) [12:47] tsimpson: Didn't LP recently add the ability to have an LP admin turn a project into an umbrella project like that? [12:47] probably, but it won't really do us much good [12:48] they'd still all just be separate projects, that just happen to be listed on one page [12:49] umbrella projects just show that projects are related, but there is nothing shared between projects [12:49] so there would still be separate code hosting, but tracking, teams, etc [12:50] basically umbrella projects *only* contain a list of other projects, nothing else [12:50] at least, that's what I was told when I asked a few months back === JanC_ is now known as JanC === k1l_ is now known as k1l
