[12:42] <k1l> `-`: wtf?
[12:55] <niko> §1°
[17:33] <tumbleweed> howdy. Anything special I should do if I'm setting up a private IRC channel? (for the developer-membership-board)
[17:42] <popey> just make sure the name doesn't clash with other channels that might be needed in the future, and ensure plenty of people have control over it so you don't get locked out I guess ☺
[17:42] <tumbleweed> yay for less bureaucracy
[17:43] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: also have a look at http://blog.freenode.net/2008/04/registering-a-channel-on-freenode/
[17:43] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: and the help regarding flags and set (mainly mlock and guard) of chanserv.
[17:44] <tumbleweed> yeah, must still do that
[17:44] <tumbleweed> thanks
[17:44] <Fuchs> you're welcome
[17:44] <Fuchs> I assume it will be in the #ubuntu* namespace, then?  That would reduce the amount of action needed a bit :)
[17:45] <tumbleweed> yeah, #ubuntu-dmb
[17:46] <Fuchs> good
[18:06] <tumbleweed> I'm not very familiar with freenode's services
[18:06] <tumbleweed> I can't get chanserv to let me change channel modes
[18:08] <Fuchs> maybe mlock is on?
[18:08] <Fuchs> do you have a specific error message, or could you tell me what you try to set?
[18:08] <tumbleweed> it won't let me change mlock
[18:09] <Fuchs> what channel?
[18:09] <Fuchs> sorry, stupid question
[18:09] <tumbleweed> ah, I just turn it off
[18:09]  * tumbleweed was trying to set new modes with it
[18:09] <tumbleweed> and getting "You are not authorized to perform this command."
[18:09] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: that works as well, e.g. /msg chanserv set #ubuntu-dmb -t+cn
[18:10] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: I unfortunately don't have access to the access list of the channel
[18:10] <tumbleweed> naah, think I'm sorted now
[18:10] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: have a look at /msg chanserv access #ubuntu-dmb list
[18:10] <Fuchs> okay
[18:12] <tumbleweed> what do other teams do for private channels? password? op-only? or just clear out the lurkers when they want to discuss something sensitive?
[18:13] <Fuchs> password doesn't help that well and might fail in cases of netsplits
[18:13] <Fuchs> you can set it on invite only and maintain a list, if there are not many users
[18:13] <tumbleweed> yup, not that many
[18:13] <tumbleweed> I was just wondering what the ubuntu-norms are
[18:14] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: in that case:  /quote help cmode
[18:14] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: you might be interested in +i and +I
[18:15] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: I have seen several, in one team we use +k  (password) which I don't like, in another we have +i
[18:15] <tumbleweed> ok, I'll go with invite-only
[18:19] <Fuchs> tumbleweed: then I would actually recommend to mlock +I and to set guard on
[21:27] <Nafallo> ubot2 will disappear for a little server maintenance. should be back momentarily.
[21:27] <ubot2> Nafallo: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[23:18] <cjohnston> I know that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines exists, however, is there an ettiquete type page somewhere for the general ubuntu namespace?
[23:20] <Unit193> There is the !etiquette factoid, and the CoC covers some of that too
[23:20] <Nafallo> oh. ubot2 is back btw.
[23:20] <Nafallo> just fyi
[23:22] <cjohnston> Unit193: I wonder if maybe the guidelines above should be made a little more general, since it only mentions #ubuntu that I see
[23:23] <Myrtti> that is one of the bugs that are assigned to IRCC in launchpad, IIRC
[23:24] <Myrtti> topyli probably confirms or denies my recollection
[23:24] <cjohnston> Myrtti: was that directed to me?
[23:24] <Myrtti> yeah I suppose
[23:24] <cjohnston> ok
[23:24] <cjohnston> ty
[23:25] <Unit193> cjohnston: http://notes.kde.org/ubuntuguidelines
[23:26] <Myrtti> bug 788503
[23:26] <Myrtti> there is a new sketch somewhere but I can't remember the URL
[23:27] <cjohnston> Thanks to both of you
[23:28] <Unit193> Glad I was a little help, the bug is exactly what you were looking for
[23:29] <cjohnston> :-)
[23:38] <topyli> cjohnston: yes we would prefer to fix that bug than create more documents :)
[23:39] <topyli> s/prefer to/rather/
[23:39] <topyli> stupid language
