[22:37] <Wubix> friendly greetings,
[22:37] <Wubix> what is the process of registering a channel that contains "ubuntu" in its name, without adding the "##" about hash tags?
[22:57] <k1l_> Wubix: maybe this will help? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil/Coordination
[23:02]  * Wubix scratches head and reads again
[23:04] <Wubix> basically, i need to follow the Code of Conduct and "invite" all others to follow it too. and i need to make staff and council chanops, right?
[23:07] <IdleOne> basically
[23:09] <Wubix> these "##" channels are free of this, right?
[23:11] <IdleOne> in theory yes, but if you open a ## channel with ubuntu in the name and it is a problem in some way. The IRC Council can ask staff to close it
[23:12] <IdleOne> may I ask what name you are thinking of?
[23:12] <Wubix> you may but i am unsure if i should reveal it. i need some time to think about all this
[23:13] <Wubix> thanks a lot for the information you gave to me
[23:13] <IdleOne> sure thing.
[23:14]  * Wubix parks in the corner
[23:32] <jose> hey guys
[23:32] <jose> is it cool if I add myself to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil/Coordination ? I'm a native Spanish speaker
[23:45] <IdleOne> jose: I don't see why not
[23:45] <jose> ok then :)
[23:47] <LjL> IdleOne: with a ## channel, if the IRC council asks staff to close it, staff can and often will laugh in the IRC council's face, though :P
[23:48] <IdleOne> I suppose it all depends on the circumstances, but yeah.
[23:48] <LjL> IdleOne: well it's not like i'm speaking out of hypotheticals that i haven't personally experienced, you know ;)
[23:49] <IdleOne> yup I do.
[23:50] <IdleOne> I guess my point was that if someone wants to use ubuntu in their channel name, it would be really nice of them to try and follow the CoC and the !guidelines.
[23:51] <LjL> well except not really, as a ## channel *is* the way to make it clear it's not official, therefore if it's something that merely *talks* about Ubuntu (as allowed by trademark laws and the trademark policies of Ubuntu), they're technically and morally free to determine their own rules
[23:55] <IdleOne> true
[23:56] <IdleOne> but it would be nice :)
[23:57] <LjL> "nice" is what people who expect their own ethics to be valid for everyone aim for ;)
[23:59] <IdleOne> nice is what people expect from others when they have been treated nicely
