k1lsome typo :)17:52
jo-erlendthe whole world seems to be of the opinion that I should rather be named jo-erland, but I'm not giving in to pressure! :)17:52
Myrtticongrats, jo-erlend17:53
jo-erlendAlanBell, it's a global phenomenon. Whether I'm speaking to someone from Sweden, China or ... I keep getting called jo-erland, for some reason :>17:53

jo-erlendoh, I assumed it would take effect the next time I logged on, but it happened immediately. That's cool. Ironically, I was very angry at those cloaks when I wrote my last IRC client. :)17:56
jo-erlendthanks.17:57
Effenberg0x0Hello all, I'm the founder of the U+1 Team (see https://launchpad.net/~U+1 and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/U+1). I'm looking for some support, as we need to have meetingology and Ubottu set in our channel here (#U+1). Can anyone give a hand with this?22:29
AlanBellsure, so in #ubuntu+1, isn't that a bit busy?22:31
AlanBellmaybe you should create #ubuntu+1-meetings or something like that22:32
AlanBelland there should already be a bug bot in +1 and it should have the !info factoids pointing at the precise repos22:33
Effenberg0x0AlanBell, U+1 is a different team than Ubuntu+122:34
Effenberg0x0#U+1 was just registered, a bout 2 weeks ago, when we were approved by the CC and started working with A22:35
Effenberg0x0oops, A = QA22:35
Effenberg0x0#U+1 is very low traffic, won't be a support channel (initially), will only be used for meetings of U+1 Team Staff and meetings with Devs/Other Team Leaders/QA Staff.22:36
jussiEffenberg0x0: you realise #u+1 is not in our namespace?22:36
AlanBellit isn't in our group registration form22:36
Effenberg0x0We've been very busy with everything that's going on and just trying to set up everything in time for the QQ cycle. No one is an IRC specialist. We just need to get it working.22:37
Effenberg0x0How do I proceed? WHere do I fill the Group Registration Form?22:37
AlanBellok, basically the channel name should start with #ubuntu-22:37
jussiEffenberg0x0: we can help you with that, but you need to use a channel beginning with #ubuntu-22:37
k1lEffenberg0x0: the ircc only manages channels starting with #ubuntu22:38
AlanBellyou can have #ubuntu-u+1 if you like22:38
Effenberg0x0Ah, I didn't know that.... Hmm, it's kind of weird as the team name is not Ubuntu-U+1 (sound a little redundant). This is absoutely mandatory, I guess?22:38
jussiand what is wrong with #ubuntu-testing ?22:39
Effenberg0x0Ubuntu-Testing is yet another group lol22:39
jussiwhat is the difference between what you do and they do?22:39
Effenberg0x0Simple: In the new QA Structure, many teams will join under different names. Some will be deprecated, some will be created.22:39
jussiie. their topic is: Welcome to Ubuntu QA and Testing | http://qa.ubuntu.com/ | Currently testing Precise daily images | http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com22:39
Effenberg0x0U+1 will be responsible not only for testing, but for managing testing-teams under QA22:40
AlanBellEffenberg0x0: http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#primarychannels we are the group contacts for #ubuntu* and #kubuntu* and a few other related namespaces, but lots of other projects use freenode22:40
jussiEffenberg0x0: so why not use the #ubuntu-testing channel?22:41
AlanBellEffenberg0x0: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList some of our typical channel names22:42
Effenberg0x0Ok, thanks guys, I appreciate you support. Time is very limited here,  I see I'll have to postpone this and delegate IRC management to someone else and add my request for infrastructure directly top-down. Thanks.22:43
jussiI think this is a very useful link here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelNaming22:43
AlanBellok, I might have a chat with balloons about it22:43
Effenberg0x0Yeah, please, he's the mastermind behind all of it (which is why he recommended talking to you about setting U+1 channel when we talked earlier today).22:44
MyrttiI'm more than a little confused about this whole thing22:50
AlanBellI have asked balloons to pop in and have a chat about it22:51
popey+122:51
Effenberg0x0Thanks22:52
Effenberg0x0He's away right now22:52
Effenberg0x0:\22:52
pangolinEffenberg0x0, may I ask why such a cryptic channel name?22:53
Effenberg0x0Pangolin: Because that's the team name as you can see at launchpad.net/~U+1, wiki.ubuntu.com/U+1. It's established and already a working team. All we needed was to set up IRC for a meeting fast.22:54
pangolinI see22:55
Effenberg0x0I have registered the channel (#U+1) and our members already have been communicated about it, but in order to properly have the meeting, we needed those bots. I'm trying to get someone else from the team now to step in as the team IRC Manager22:55
Effenberg0x0It's not my area of expertise, far from it :)22:56
MyrttiI wouldn't exactly call something that has been around only a month established, but YMMV22:56
MyrttiI honestly don't understand why you need bazillion small teams like this when you could do all the things it does within a bigger more experienced team22:56
Myrttibut oh well22:56
popeyI don't understand why this isn't part of the QA team, but is a separate one.22:57
AlanBelllets just get the naming sorted and get the bots in the channel, but I don't want to send the bots outside the namespace22:57
Effenberg0x0Myrtti, Popey, I think it will all become clear soon. Things are changing in the way of becoming more concise and organized right now. Soon there will be a better structure under QA, it's what Nick and everyone else is working on daily.22:58
AlanBellwhat the team does and it's relationship to QA etc isn't really an IRC problem22:58
MyrttiAlanBell: it is in the sense that if it would all happen underneath QA, you wouldn't need to put bots into a new channel.22:59
Myrttibut hey, I'm only me and all that22:59
popeyAlanBell: sure, but people swoop into irc having never been here before, telling us theres these new teams and then disappear, and we wonder what happened and how it works. Useful to ask people.22:59
popeyAIUI this is a forums thing? so technically no irc channels will be used in anger other than somewhere for the team to have meetings etc23:00
popeywhich is what's being requested23:00
Effenberg0x0@everyone, this is a very alpha and unfinished version. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ProposedTeamStructure This is a blueprint of what it will probably look like: http://i.imgur.com/e4KBu.png23:00
AlanBellif it is just a meetings channel then it might be best to book time in #ubuntu-meeting then everyone can see what is going on23:00
popey"All we needed was to set up IRC for a meeting fast"23:01
popeyso yeah, #ubuntu-meeting fits that requirement perfectly23:01
popeyand is already logged, known about etc23:01
pangolinalready has the infrastructure setup23:01
pangolinyeah, what popey said23:01
Effenberg0x0Popey, I agree, I'll let someone else handle the IRC part more properly. I'm absolutely ognorant of the IRC rules and procedures.23:01
Effenberg0x0ognorant=ignorant23:01
AlanBellEffenberg0x0: you can book meetings here http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendars/fridge/ in #ubuntu-meeting23:01
popeyEffenberg0x0: we're just trying to help ☺23:01
popeyEffenberg0x0: there are teams springing up all over the place, and often times it's hard to keep track of whats happening. having meetings in an already established meeting channel makes a lot of sense, and may even get your team more exposure23:02
Effenberg0x0popey,  I understand :) And all the info hasn't yet been decided and made public, so of course it can be confusing.23:02
popeywhich can only be a good thing23:02
AlanBelllots of global teams use that meeting room so that others can see all the decisions that happen. A few channels that don't need a wider audience (like LoCo team channels) meet in their own channels23:03
Effenberg0x0AlanBell, Ok, thank you for the link and info, I'm gonna check that23:03
AlanBellif this is an effort towards the global ubuntu project then #ubuntu-meeting might well be the channel to use for meetings23:03
