[11:22]  * guampa is away: I'm busy
[11:32]  * guampa is away: I'm busy
[11:45] <Myrtti> guampa: please turn that off
[11:55] <guampa> Myrttii: sorry for the noise. was a misconfig
[11:59] <iceroot> hi
[11:59] <iceroot> what do you think, are more icr-ops needed (#ubuntu, #ubuntu+1)?
[11:59] <popey> !canibeanop
[12:00] <iceroot> its not always fun to do support on #ubuntu and then call !ops because someone is messing up
[12:02] <iceroot> popey: thank you for the info but that was not answering my real question (didnt have a look at all links)
[12:03] <popey> you didnt read them yet you know they don't answer your question?
[12:04] <iceroot> popey: i dont think they answer "do we need more irc-ops" but because of your question i think "the truth is out there" so i will do some reading on that stuff
[12:09] <iceroot> Please be aware that *many* applicants will not become operators for various reasons. This will not necessarily be because we think you would make a bad operator. Only a limited number of operators are ever needed, some timezones are better covered already than others, and so on.
[12:12] <tsimpson> iceroot: basically, the council will make an announcement when/if they feel more operators are required in a channel. if you want to suggest that more operators are needed you can email the council, or show up at one of the meetings and suggest it. but there usually are more applicants than the number of places the council wants to fill, so not everyone is going to be chosen for various reasons
[12:12] <iceroot> tsimpson: ok, thank you
[12:36] <Myrtti> also take into account that the holiday season is still winding down, and not all ops are back in line yet
[12:39] <iceroot> and interesting point is the "timezone" as it seems most ops are not in my timezone, maybe that would be an argument to do an request
[12:40] <Myrtti> which is that, Asia?
[12:41] <iceroot> germany :)
[12:41] <iceroot> gmt+1
[12:42] <Tm_T> iceroot: office hours or your night time is the problem?
[12:42] <Myrtti> Europe is probably the best represented
[12:42] <Tm_T> ^
[12:42] <iceroot> Tm_T: office
[12:42] <Myrtti> if you think that it's not covered, you must keep odd hours yourself
[12:42] <k1l_> maybe that is because we have our "own" support channels with own op team
[12:42] <k1l_> #ubuntu-de
[12:43] <iceroot> k1l_: i like the general (english) channels more and i am not part of any *-de channel
[12:44] <Tm_T> to be honest, I used to be reasonably active around this time of the day, but am busy elsewhere nowadays
[12:44] <k1l_> iceroot: that is your choice. no problem. i only wanted to explain, why you dont see much germans there
[12:44] <iceroot> k1l_: and i thank you for that info
[12:44] <k1l_> (regarding to you timezone :) )
[12:45] <iceroot> i just dont "like" the fact that if you the most active person on a channel on some times and you have to call !ops instead of handling that of my own
[12:45] <iceroot> and thats the reason i came here to ask (maybe not the reason you wanted to hear)
[12:46] <Tm_T> iceroot: I know the feeling (:
[12:48] <k1l_> well, i cant judge on this, because im too busy on the german channels to take a look at the original channels. while this channel here is not the most acitve one i suggest you to come to a meeting or make a email to the ML with some informations about the times that need backup.
[12:49] <iceroot> k1l_: i think joining a meeting is a good idea, also to see what jobs are normally done by ops and to get a better overview on that
[12:51] <tsimpson> the job is simple (in principal), just make sure everyone follows the rules
[12:51] <Tm_T> that's the easy part (:
[14:05] <AlanBell> iceroot: you can also add an item to the IRC council agenda if you think we need to discuss a call for ops
[14:21] <christel> make me an op! i'll ban them all!
[14:25] <Myrtti> christel: just 'trip' on the cables
[14:25] <christel> hehe
[14:26] <Myrtti> that'll take care of the problem
[14:35] <Fuchs> don't make christel an op! She's horrible!
[14:35] <christel> hahaha
[14:35] <Fuchs> :p
[14:36] <Fuchs> christel: as a sidenote: most #ubuntu* channels I am aware of do have @freenode/staff/* with at least o
[14:36] <christel> well yes, but that's not the same! :P
[14:37] <Fuchs> apply for op then, it's rather easy, just bake some cookies
[14:40] <AlanBell> there ya go christel
[14:40] <AlanBell> !info cheese
[14:41] <ubot4> AlanBell: cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam. In component main, is optional. Version 2.32.0-0ubuntu2 (natty), package size 62 kB, installed size 260 kB
[14:41] <christel> awww <3
[14:41] <AlanBell> can someone prod ubot4 and lubottu3 etc into oneiric
[14:41] <christel> woooo
[14:42] <AlanBell> they are providing info for natty packages
[14:42] <AlanBell> didn't want it to go to your head :)
[14:42] <christel> haha
[14:42] <christel> <3
[18:35] <Unit193> AlanBell: Talk about bots not on the right one, ubot2` is still on maverick, and you need to prefix it's nick, not prefixchar :P
[20:22] <k1l_> philipballew: cant resist do press the little X in the edge? :)
[20:22] <philipballew> its my greatest hobby k1l_
[23:18] <PerfM> Sup bitches
[23:26] <elky> PerfM, that's really not how you greet people who you would like concession from.
[23:28] <PerfM> Okay fine.
[23:28] <PerfM> How about this
[23:28] <PerfM> Where my dawgs at?
[23:28] <PerfM> bark with me if you're my dawg
[23:30] <elky> How about you call it a day and try this some other time.
[23:31] <elky> Preferably after some consideration about how greeting ops as canines is not likely to achieve what you want.
[23:31] <PerfM> Don't tell me what to do elky.
[23:32] <k1l> *sigh*
[23:33] <Unit193> Always a joy...
