[02:42] <bobweaver> hello there I would like a ubuntu cloak  is this possible ?
[02:43] <Unit193> Could you link your launchpad account?
[02:43] <bobweaver> https://launchpad.net/~josephjamesmills
[02:44] <Unit193> Sorry, but you'd have to be a Ubuntu Member :/
[02:44] <Unit193> !member | bobweaver
[02:45] <bobweaver> like http://wiki.ubuntu.com/josephmills
[02:46] <Unit193> Not only do you have to do significant and sustained contributions to Ubuntu, you also have to apply for it  (Note that I'm not a member either)
[02:46] <Unit193> Have a read of the link ubottu gave :)
[02:47] <bobweaver> I am now tha nsk Unit193
[02:47] <bobweaver> now *
[02:47] <bobweaver> I also hand out free cds of ubuntu like 20 a week
[02:48] <Unit193> Sure, and thanks for helping out
[02:48] <bobweaver> farmers market and downtown
[02:48] <bobweaver> I see why cprofitt wanted me to take pictures now
[02:51]  * bobweaver says time to step up his game !
[02:54] <cprofitt> hey bobweaver
[02:55] <cprofitt> the pictures were more for the loco
[02:55] <cprofitt> but you could reference them as well
[02:56] <cprofitt> can be real simple -- like this - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam/Events/20100701
[02:57] <cprofitt> bobweaver: join the ny channel we can discuss this more in there
[02:58] <Andy80> Unit193: you assign cloaks?
[02:58] <Unit193> Andy80: No sir, I have nothing to do with that, just trying to help
[02:58] <Andy80> ok :)
[02:58] <Unit193> Andy80: You just have to stick around and wait for onje of 'em to show up
[02:59] <Andy80> yeah, I'll try tomorrow maybe... it's too late at the moment.... 4:00 AM in Europe
[03:00] <bobweaver> thanks cprofitt
[03:00] <Unit193> Andy80: Okay, hope they're here next time!
[03:01] <Andy80> I'm still a bit in love with my actual cloak, but.... the project is dead :\ so I think I'll use the possibility to have an Ubuntu cloak (yes, I'm a member, approved today :P )
[03:02] <Unit193> Yeah, I checked. Congrats though!!
[03:03] <Andy80> Unit193: thanks :)
[07:19] <jussi> AlanBell: what the heck?  they gave you membership?
[07:19] <jussi> err
[07:19] <jussi> and he isnt here
[07:19] <jussi> bad morning...
[17:29] <vibhav> I wonder if a karma for 1251 is enough for a cloak>
[17:29] <vibhav> ?
[17:29] <vibhav> https://launchpad.net/~vibhavp
[17:30] <pangolin> an ubuntu cloak?
[17:30] <vibhav> yes
[17:30] <pangolin> cloaks are not given because of karma
[17:30] <k1l> you need to become a member to get a cloak
[17:30] <pangolin> !membership
[17:30] <pangolin> read that ^
[17:30] <vibhav> read
[17:30] <vibhav> I have been translating for long
[17:30] <vibhav> I guess
[17:30] <vibhav> 6 months
[17:31] <pangolin> apparently you haven't read it
[17:31] <vibhav> "translation" is listed in contribution
[17:31] <pangolin> vibhav: there is a process that must be followed
[17:31] <pangolin> you need to read all the words not just the ones you want to read
[17:31] <vibhav> oh , I forgot about that
[17:32] <k1l> vibhav: read that link. it tells you what you got to do to become a member.
[17:32] <k1l> we dont decide here wether you become a member or not
[17:32] <pangolin> my karma is 73 and I am a member
[17:33] <pangolin> karma has nothing to do with it
[17:33] <vibhav> got it
[17:33] <k1l> pangolin: you got some extra karma for you nick :)
[17:33] <vibhav> heh
[17:34] <popey> 17:33:02 < pangolin> karma has nothing to do with it
[17:34] <popey> not entiely true
[17:35] <pangolin> really?
[17:35] <pangolin> explain please :)
[17:35] <vibhav> big karma = More contribution (or something like that)
[17:36] <vibhav> contribution to Ubuntu
[17:36] <pangolin> I would rather popey explain it to me :)
[17:36] <pangolin> My contributions at the time of applying for membership were not measurable with karma.
[17:37] <popey> its an indicator
[17:37] <popey> along with many others
[17:37] <popey> so 'nothing to do with it' isn't entirely accurate. some people on the RMBs will look at karma as a quick indicator of activity
[17:38] <popey> they will of course delve more deeply into what the contributions are, but it's a good quick stake in the ground
[17:38] <pangolin> I see
[17:38] <pangolin> Good to know, thanks for explaining it.
[17:39] <popey> np
[17:39] <popey> at one point I had bazillions of karma just for answering launchpad questions.
[17:42] <pangolin> popey: hypothetically would that be enough to merit membership?
[17:42] <popey> what? a big karma number?
[17:42] <pangolin> say a karma of 15000 for answering LP questions.
[17:42] <popey> not on its own, no
[17:43] <popey> like I say, it's just an indicator
[17:43] <pangolin> got it :). vibhav you need to read the info ubottu gave you and follow the instructions :)
[17:43] <popey> heh
[17:45] <pangolin> is it possible my karma has gone down?\
[17:45] <pangolin> I thought I saw it at 96 at one point
[17:45] <popey> yes
[17:45] <vibhav> pangolin: karma expires
[17:45] <popey> it degrades over time
[17:45] <vibhav> pangolin: If LP related contribution halts
[17:45] <popey> to promote a 'sustained' contribution
[17:45] <pangolin> oh, well I better start keeping track of it to see when it hits 0
[17:45] <popey> vibhav: it degrades whether you carry on or not
[17:46] <popey> i wouldn't bother ☺
[17:46] <Myrtti> I don't :-P
[17:46] <Pici> Non-ubuntu things on launchpad also grant karma.
[17:47] <vibhav> gotta go to sleep
[17:47] <vibhav> bye
[17:47] <pangolin> good night
[17:47]  * popey gives vibhav some sleep karma
[18:34] <k1l_> hmm, while i see Andy80 quitting, he asked for a cloak yesterday and is already a member
[21:14] <Myrtti> ugh.
