Myrttihm?17:52
MyrttiPici: ?17:52
PiciMyrtti: erry was waiting for a confirmation from the user17:52
Myrttioh, right17:53
Picier, s/user/arges/17:53
Piciwoo19:27
argesPici: thanks erry took care of it19:30
Piciarges: yep, I asked her to apply the cloak.19:30
Myrttifuture reference, staff members who are on this channel when the requests are done, can usually respond quicker because they don't need to go to the user for the confirmation as they've already seen them ask.19:33
Myrttibut w/e19:33
PiciMyrtti: /me makes note19:33
Myrttiprovided the people asking are identified to their accounts when we check them.19:33
IdleOneI suppose it is a little late now, but why not apply the cloak if you saw the request?19:39
MyrttiI was in the middle of cooking and figured that if things are rolling with erry, it's better to let her to finish it rather than me dabble with my mobile phone on the subject when it's more prone to errors19:40
PiciLogan_: do you happen to know of a wikimdia gc?19:51
Logan_dungodung, Barras, and PeterSymonds are the Wikimedia GCs.19:51
BarrasHello.20:00
Logan_Pici: ^20:00
IdleOneAlanBell ^20:08
Picisorry, had a little impromptu meeting in my office, so I had to pay attentionm20:16
TheLordOfTimecorrect me if i'm wrong, but isn't dual cloaking discouraged?20:16
TheLordOfTimefrom freenode's perspective20:16
TheLordOfTime(not the groups' perspective)20:17
Myrttiwell, kinda20:17
Myrtti*blushes*20:17
PiciBarras: Would it be okay if we gave Logan_ an ubuntu/member/wikimedia.logan cloak?20:17
BarrasPici: Sure.20:20
BarrasI see no problems for that.20:20
PiciMyrtti: Would you care to action that?20:20
MyrttiLogan_: is there a particular reason why you want a dual cloak?20:20
Logan_To show that I'm still committed to Wikimedia? (/me shrugs)20:21
BarrasMyrtti: Can you set the cloak please, you've the approval of both GCs here :)20:22
Myrttiẅell I realise I'm a bad person to preach on the subject since I've got a dual cloak myself, but unless you've got a good reason - other than just 'I want it' - staff usually (should) decline requests for dual cloaks, unless the other cloak is for pdpc donations or freenode staff cloaks.20:37
TheLordOfTimewhich is why i asked whether freenode discourages dual cloaks20:37
TheLordOfTimesince i ran into that issue setting up a dual cloak for a trekweb user, and since then i've said "no dual cloaks" for trekweb's cloaks.20:37
TheLordOfTime:P20:38
Logan_Myrtti: I'd like to show my commitment to FLOSS software/information in both areas, and I believe that Ubuntu and Wikimedia have similar goals in terms of openness and thus are compatible with each other.20:43
IdleOneMy vote don't count here but +120:48
MyrttiLogan_: that still distills down to what I described I'm afraid.21:29
Logan_If this poses to be too much of an issue, I'll just do the Ubuntu cloak.21:30
MyrttiPici: ^21:30
PiciMyrtti: if you would please :)21:31
Myrttidouble checking one more thing21:33
Myrttior a two21:34
MyrttiPici: I'm afraid I'll need to ask you for a few things, would you want it to be logan or Logan? and since the username has an underscore in it, please be aware that there is a possibility (however unlikely) that it might clash with some other Ubuntu member with a cloak with accountname Logan* (where * is a character we don't allow in cloaks)21:39
Logan_Myrtti: Lowercase, please, as that seems to be the trend.21:40
Logan_And I am aware of that possibility.21:40
Fuchs(it is a GC decision, not user decision)21:40
PiciMyrtti: lowercase, and I don't think we have a 'logan' or 'logan*' so without the underscore is fine.21:41
Logan_er, oops21:41
PiciFuchs: could you please action it? Myrtti tells me shes off to sleepyland21:42
FuchsYes, she already poked me :)21:42
Fuchsand I am already at it21:42
FuchsI just had to get nickserv to like me, it is now set. Congratulations, Logan_21:42
Logan_Awesome, thanks everyone. :)21:43
Pici:)21:43
