[02:37] Could I please get an ubuntu irc cloak? My launchpad page is https://launchpad.net/~chris.gagnon [02:41] robotfuel: One second, please [02:42] robotfuel: Ok, everything seems alright, but you'll need to wait for the IRC Council [02:42] JoseeAntonioR: when does that happen? [02:43] robotfuel: could you please let me check if any of them is online? [02:43] JoseeAntonioR: oh, I thought it might be a meeting :P [02:43] nah, just a matter of waiting [02:44] none of them is online, but if you wait (may take a couple hours) they'll process the request [02:45] AlanBell, topyli, funkyHat, Tm_T, Pici: robotfuel has requested an @ubuntu/member/robotfuel cloak, with the LP link https://launchpad.net/~chris.gagnon, could you please process the request? [02:53] I am off to bed, thanks for your help JoseeAntonioR [02:53] np [16:00] In #ubuntu-uk, popey said: lubotu3, no oggcamp is is a two day unconference on August 18th/19th 2012 - see http://oggcamp.org/ [16:02] !no oggcamp is is a two day unconference on August 18th/19th 2012 - see http://oggcamp.org/ [16:02] I know nothing about oggcamp yet, IdleOne [16:02] hmm [16:05] Does lubotu3 use some different db ? [16:05] it should get synced eventually [16:09] right but she doesn't no anything about it so [16:09] !oggcamp is is a two day unconference on August 18th/19th 2012 - see http://oggcamp.org/ [16:09] I'll remember that, IdleOne [16:09] !oggcamp [16:09] is a two day unconference on August 18th/19th 2012 - see http://oggcamp.org/ [16:10] she knows now [16:10] s/no/know [17:34] how much of an interaction does the IRCC / IRC team have with team channels? [17:34] specifically with "emergency moderation" and the likes [17:37] as much or as little as that team wants [17:38] so basically the same as freenode staff, such that "If we're not on the ACL, we won't help." ? [17:38] the ircc needs to be added to the access list of course and team channels can always join #ubuntu-ops and ask if some ops would be willing to idle in their channel. [17:38] LoT: Not exactly, the IRCC is always willing to help but without access they can't. [17:38] but basically you'd need ACL access first (ChanServ)( [17:38] indeed. [17:38] that basically answers the question [17:38] thanks [17:38] right, the ircc can ask staff to add them if they really need it [17:39] indeed, being the contact(s) for the #ubuntu namespace [17:39] thanks, that answers the question [17:41] I should point out that freenode staff is also willing to be helpful. I didn't mean to imply they weren't [17:42] we aren't [17:42] ha [17:42] heh [17:43] LoT: yeah, if team channel needs/wants ops but doesn't have anybody they know, they can join -ops and ask us to join and add a few of us to the ACL. [17:43] IdleOne: as an aside, its kind of hard when the team's ops are both offline :P [17:44] hence the question [17:44] (not the case atm, but at the time it was an issue, well...) [17:44] ah, well if that is an ongoing issue the IRCC should be made aware and maybe they offer to help the team. [17:45] long story short. We are here to serve. [17:45] indeed. [17:46] IdleOne: i dont see it as a common issue, but the team in question is the beginners team. strangely enough there's a bunch of people who forward the newbies to -beginners, and there was a spammer in there... um... [17:46] it was either yesterday or two days ago [17:46] and nobody was on, so... [17:47] * LoT shrugs [17:47] oh, as a sidenote, in order to have staff help, one should put us with the *!*@freenode/staff/* mask on the ACL. Else we will be quite a bit more hesitant, as we respect channel owners decision to not have us intervene in their channel [17:47] unless, of course, network policy is broken or other emergencies [17:47] ah, well I believe pleia2 has some influence for that team, maybe mention it to her and she can take it to the people who need to know ? [17:47] Fuchs: indeed, the person who reported the spam said, basically, "To hell with that" [17:47] when i mentioned "poke #freenode" [17:47] Fuchs: since *!*@freenode/staff/* is on the ACL [17:48] IdleOne: not really anymore, and I don't have ops or anything there [17:48] IdleOne: i can poke bodhi, he's got significant influence as well (i have to poke him about some Debian things anyways0 [17:48] if it is, and the person is an obvious spammer, chances are good that we do act if people poke us [17:48] pleia2: sorry to have pinged you about it then [17:48] we just prefer local ops to handle things if possible. But if none are around, and we are on the ACL, sure, poke us [17:48] LoT: well there ya go. :) [17:48] IdleOne: indeed. [17:49] I remember being turned off by -beginners when it first started out. I found it a little insulting that I had to jump through hoops to be "accepted" in the team. [17:50] I left soon after [17:50] heh [17:50] they got rid of their membership process, but it's a pretty quiet team these days [17:52] I just feel the only membership we should have to apply for is Ubuntu membership. Team/LoCo should be open to all and not require a formal process to be part of. [17:52] Staff are on the ACL, and have stepped in before. [17:53] IdleOne: so any ubuntu member could be in the ops team without a process? :P [17:53] LjL: every rule has an exception of course [17:53] being an op is different from being a part of a loco [17:54] indeed [17:56] LjL: also, becoming and op in the Ubuntu-ops team requires that the person, if not an Ubuntu member officially, might as well be one because they already have showed they can be. [17:56] s/and/an/ [17:57] Which I believe is probably one of the reasons why the IRCC was given the authority to grant membership :) [17:58] Now I must reboot and hope this latest update has not broken my system [17:58] * Fuchs wishes IdleOne good luck [18:02] You may now uncross your toes. Thank you for your assistance [18:18] IdleOne: uh, I need some assistance, some of my toes are on cramp due to holding them crossed too long [18:19] Tm_T: I recommend hydrochloric acid [18:19] * IdleOne gets the moisturizing cream and bath salts [18:20] Tm_T: put your footsies in this tub of boiling water please [18:22] IdleOne: salt and pepper, yes? [18:22] * LoT puts a bag of uknownsubstance into the boiling water [18:22] and a little garlic powder [18:22] sounds delicious [18:22] smells too! [18:22] * IdleOne peels potatoes and carrots too [18:22] if you remove the feet, yes. Cheese is eugh :( [18:22] We is gonna eat good tonight [18:23] IdleOne: ...yes it's good you can get membership from this lot [20:11] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCCouncil/TeamReports Oi, that's a bit stale... [20:39] To add my current nic to my group with my member cloak, what would I do, or is there any thing I can /msg to find out how? [20:39] sure, /msg nickserv help group [20:39] you need to be identified to your account and on the nick you want to group [20:40] so /msg nickserv identify yourmainnick yourpassword and then the group command
