[09:03] <niko> hi

[09:04] <lynxman> oh wow, even cake
[09:35]  * LinuxMonkey says the cake was a lie!
[12:57] <em> hey AlanBell are you here?
[12:58] <AlanBell> yes
[12:58] <em> hi. I think I was banned in #ubuntu-uk a long time ago for a bad connection.
[12:58] <AlanBell> yeah, I think so
[13:01] <em> Well I was hoping that could be lifted
[13:08] <IdleOne> em, may I ask why you need access to ubuntu-uk?
[13:09] <IdleOne> afaik you are not in the UK and are not a part of the ubuntu UK loco
[13:25] <AlanBell> hi em, sorry, I got distracted by the secure boot announcements
[13:25] <AlanBell> I am a bit curious why you want to be in the -uk channel but that is fine, we have an assortment of visitors from all over the world who are very welcome
[13:26] <AlanBell> the ban has been removed, I do hope your connection is nice and fixed
[13:37] <em> AlanBell: yeah I think so
[13:37] <em> AlanBell: I don't usually talk in -uk but I have quite a few friends in there, and especially now that this football stuff is going on
[13:38] <AlanBell> fair enough
[13:38] <AlanBell> not much into the footie myself
[13:38] <em> Im not either. I just become interested during these big international tournaments
[13:39] <IdleOne> AlanBell, Italy is going to murder England on Sunday :)
[13:40]  * IdleOne is predidcting a 4-0 win for Italy
[13:41] <DJones> IdleOne: Only one try in the game?
[13:41] <IdleOne> I don't understand the question
[13:42] <DJones> IdleOne: I don't watch football, my game is rugby league, so 4 points would be an unconverted try
[13:42] <IdleOne> lol
[13:42] <IdleOne> I don't know rugby at all.
[13:42] <IdleOne> that is why I had no idea what you were on about
[13:42] <AlanBell> it is like American football, but less soft
[13:43] <IdleOne> oh, I know that much
[13:43] <Staffpony> Unfortunately some people call Handegg also Football, which can lead to confusion
[13:43] <IdleOne> just don't know the rules or how they keep score
[13:45] <DJones> You sound like a perfect candidate to become a referee, not knowing the rules :)
[13:46] <IdleOne> heh
[13:46] <IdleOne> How much does tat pay?
[13:47] <DJones> Not sure, we have some full time ref's, so must be a fairly reasonable salary
[13:48]  * IdleOne moves to rugbyland and applies for a job
[13:51] <topyli> IdleOne: beware, the players will be all over you teaching you the rules
[13:52] <IdleOne> I'm a fairly quick study
[13:52] <IdleOne> Only need to head butt me once so I learn to duck
[13:53] <topyli> smart!
[22:11] <Unit193> Tm_T: Congrats on getting the position now that it's official!
[22:33] <ninnnu> Tm_T: Congrats
[22:59] <genii-around> I find it disappointing that only 48 of 117 voted.
[23:00]  * genii-around slides Tm_T a congratulatory beverage
[23:03] <pleia2> it's much better than the last CC election (252 of 694)
[23:04] <pleia2> people hate voting :)
[23:04] <TheLordOfTime> pleia2:  some of us who wanted to vote were not allowed
[23:04] <TheLordOfTime> because of certain restrictions on whom could vote
[23:05] <pleia2> it's just the IRC Members team
[23:05] <TheLordOfTime> mhm
[23:05] <TheLordOfTime> that's what i mean :P
[23:05] <pleia2> should be motivation to apply for the team, pretty much the only perk is voting rights
[23:14] <genii-around> TheLordOfTime: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Membership
[23:34] <AlanBell> TheLordOfTime: want to be in that group?
[23:35] <AlanBell> I added a few during the election for people who wanted to vote and were Ubuntu Members but not in that group
[23:35] <IdleOne> So what is the criteria for being in that group?
[23:37] <pleia2> the wiki page genii linked explains, but it's easier if you're already an ubuntu member since you've already satisfied the "significant and sustained contributions to Ubuntu" part
[23:37] <AlanBell> 1. be an Ubuntu Member
[23:38] <AlanBell> 2. ask to be in the group
[23:38] <AlanBell> when the IRC Council awards membership you go directly into that group
[23:38] <IdleOne> Thank you.
[23:38] <IdleOne> TheLordOfTime: ask and ye shall receive
[23:39] <AlanBell> ask, and tell me your launchpad id
