JoseeAntonioRIRCC: hey guys, I'd like to ask for a cloak update with an exception, my current accountname is JoseeAntonioR but I'd like to get ubuntu/member/jose as a cloak, you think that may be possible?05:41

JoseeAntonioRjust in case you didn't get it, IRCC: hey guys, I'd like to ask for a cloak update with an exception, my current accountname is JoseeAntonioR but I'd like to get ubuntu/member/jose as a cloak, you think that may be possible?15:06
AlanBellhi JoseeAntonioR, good question, we normally do account name, not sure if there is any particularly good reason though15:07
JoseeAntonioRAlanBell: I'll be using the nick jose from now on, it's just staff can't drop it as it's an accountname, but the nick is unused for 138+ weeks15:08
JoseeAntonioRthat means nick is expired, but the account isn't yet15:08
LjLAlanBell: probably because that's what freenode does for unaffiliated cloak, but i believe you can override that "default"15:08
LjL(as far as freenode is concerned, that is)15:08
JoseeAntonioRLjL is right, actually what goes at the end of the cloak is a unique identifier :)15:09
LjLJoseeAntonioR: wait, now staff won't drop unused nicknames that are the main nick for an account?15:09
JoseeAntonioRLjL: yeah, if the account is still in use yes, as that would mean dropping the whole account :(15:10
LjLah makes sense if the account itself is in use i guess15:10
JoseeAntonioRyep15:10
LjLhave you asked the fellow if he can just drop it since he ain't using it?15:11
JoseeAntonioRI tried several times with memoserv, but that isn't giving any results15:11
JoseeAntonioRI only got to /nick to jose15:11
LjLoh right, i guess freenode staff won't be telling you which nick he goes by nowadays :P15:12
JoseeAntonioRexactly15:12
JoseeAntonioRAlanBell: so, is the change likely to be approved?15:35
AlanBellI have no objection in principal, but I would like to know what Pici and Tm_T and funkyHat_ and topyli think15:43
JoseeAntonioRsure :)15:45
Tm_TAlanBell: I'm ok16:23
PiciAlanBell: no issues here17:55
=== funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat
funkyHatAlanBell: sounds fine to me too19:09
PriceyLjL: AlanBell: Yeah, everything after 'ubuntu/' is up to you. I always wondered why we didn't do launchpad account name.20:53
Fuchsit was debated a few times in the past20:53
Fuchsalso it won't work all the time, as accountnames do allow characters which are not allowed in cloaks20:54
Fuchs(lolpad accountnames, that is)20:54
JoseeAntonioRin that case, a randomly-generated code would have to be put in as the unique identifier21:03
JoseeAntonioRas with unaffiliated21:03
Fuchsno21:04
Fuchsstaff just has to replace them21:04
JoseeAntonioRhmm, well21:05
Fuchsthere is no need to add any random code. Cloaks are  1) not _actually_ forced to be unique, they just _should_ be unique 2) chances that two people with the same  (stripped off) name get both a cloak of the same project are very low  3) if it happens, it is the GCs fault anyway21:05
JoseeAntonioR:P21:05
JoseeAntonioRso, just waiting on topyli's word21:07
AlanBellits fine, I think we have covered the due diligence now :)21:07
AlanBellstaff can we have an ubuntu/member/jose cloak please21:08
* Fuchs pokes Pricey with a piece of chocolate21:11
PriceyAlanBell: Who for?21:11
* JoseeAntonioR :)21:11
Unit193JoseeAntonioR: So you'll be using a nick that isn't registered to you and could technically be ghosted at any time?21:12
JoseeAntonioRUnit193: not a problem for me21:12
JoseeAntonioRI *may* be able to get it at some point21:13
JoseeAntonioRPricey: got to handle it?21:29
AlanBellPricey: for JoseeAntonioR21:56
PriceyAlanBell: All done.21:58
AlanBellyay, thanks Pricey21:58
JoseeAntonioRthanks, Pricey! :)22:01
PriceyJoseeAntonioR: No problem.22:01
