[17:04] <dholbach> ah... chairs command is gone
[17:04] <dholbach> :)
[17:04] <elfy> :)
[17:04] <dholbach> welcome  everyone
[17:05] <czajkowski> that works
[17:05] <czajkowski> :)
[17:05]  * Pici is sort of here
[17:05] <dholbach> so we're meeting up with the IRC Council today
[17:05] <elfy> I'll take a sofa then
[17:05] <dholbach> :-)
[17:05] <dholbach> how are you all doing?
[17:05] <dholbach> busy with release activities? :)
[17:05] <AlanBell> chair command is singular, not chairs :)
[17:05] <elfy> what can you do ... :p
[17:06] <AlanBell> so, yes, today I have been doing a bit of moderating of #ubuntu-release-party :)
[17:06] <AlanBell> we have had some tough times over the last few months, bit of drama around the departure of the floodbots, however things are moving on
[17:06] <czajkowski> how are things going in the land of IRCC
[17:06]  * mhall119 ishere
[17:06] <elfy> o/
[17:07] <AlanBell> we have put in place a new bot unopaste, that does the most visible bits that the floodbots did, and that seems to be working effectively
[17:07] <Pici> Drama... but things seem better now.
[17:07] <dholbach> cool
[17:07] <elfy> Pici: appears to to me too
[17:07] <dholbach> was the rest of the cycle like that as well? :)
[17:07] <AlanBell> we had a resignation from the IRCC, so we are down to 4, which is OK
[17:07] <Pici> We're in the middle of call-for-operators and should be finishing that up this week
[17:08] <mhall119> I assume unopaste doesn't have the same licensing issues that floodbot had
[17:08] <AlanBell> dholbach: this is the first cycle of the current IRCC
[17:08]  * elfy saw that meeting Pici 
[17:08] <dholbach> and you're still coping with 4 members of the IRCC?
[17:09] <elfy> I'd be concerned about votes when needed with just 4
[17:09] <AlanBell> mhall119: no, it is nicely licensed,GPL or apache, I would have to look up the precise detail, but it is Free Software
[17:09] <mhall119> ok
[17:10] <elfy> AlanBell: are there plans to deal with just 4 on IRCC?
[17:10] <AlanBell> we are coping with 4, we decided not to urgently recruit, but carry on as is, with the option to fill the seat later
[17:10] <elfy> right - I know that position well :)
[17:11] <AlanBell> cproffit was helping with some advice as we went along which was great
[17:11] <elfy> I assume you'd ask for help if you came across an unresolvable issue internally
[17:12] <AlanBell> we don't tend to have split decisions, but yes, we would ask for help
[17:12] <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/IRCC/20140319 we discussed that in this meeting
[17:13] <Pici> We don't have a lot of votables come up all that often either
[17:13] <dholbach> and operations in general? are they working out all right right now?
[17:13] <elfy> Pici: I'm in the same position with my other hat
[17:14] <AlanBell> I think things are working out all right, we had a meeting yesterday which was quite positive
[17:14] <AlanBell> we also did a factoid review which was a good collaborative exercise and got people talking about the general tone we want in the channels
[17:15] <elfy> yea - saw that one going on as well - that seemed useful - from both points of view
[17:15] <Pici> I was just going to mention the factoid review... I think we lot of input on that from both operators and some of our regulars.
[17:17] <dholbach> nice - that's great to hear :)
[17:18] <dholbach> did you have plans from vUDS or other discussions which are still on your TODO list?
[17:19] <AlanBell> we do have a few long emails from operators expressing an assortment of concerns, one was an open letter to the discussion list, other things have been raised privately
[17:20] <AlanBell> we need to address more of the points raised, but it isn't always obvious what to do about them :)
[17:20] <dholbach> yeah, I can imagine
[17:21] <AlanBell> is there another UDS coming up soon?
[17:21] <mhall119> yes
[17:21] <dholbach> yes, Jono just announced the dates a week ago - let me go find it
[17:21] <mhall119> well, Ubuntu Online Summit, but same thing really
[17:21] <dholbach> http://www.jonobacon.org/2014/04/03/ubuntu-online-summit-dates/
[17:22] <AlanBell> ok, great
[17:22] <dholbach> did you manage to recruit some new members or ops or helpers in the last time?
[17:22] <AlanBell> we are just going through the voting process on an intake of operator applicants
[17:23] <AlanBell> should be announcing that real soon now
[17:23] <dholbach> awesome
[17:23] <elfy> nice AlanBell
[17:24] <dholbach> I'm quite happy with what I've heard and the work you're doing
[17:24] <dholbach> thanks a lot for your hard work
[17:25] <dholbach> do you have anything the CC could help with?
[17:25] <dholbach> or any questions yourself?
[17:25] <mhall119> me too, especialy the way you all handled the trouble you had to deal with
[17:25] <elfy> +1 from me as well
[17:25] <elfy> it's never easy
[17:25] <AlanBell> not right now I think, we certainly appreciated the support we got from cproffit and others over the last few months
[17:27] <dholbach> any more questions anyone?
[17:27] <elfy> not from me
[17:28] <elfy> thanks IRCC - good job done I think
[17:28] <Pici> yay (sorry not been terribly active, meatspace things need my attention)
[17:29] <dholbach> all rightie
[17:29] <dholbach> in that case...
[17:30] <dholbach> thanks again everyone from the IRCC - keep up the good work!
[17:30] <dholbach> Does anyone have any other business to discuss?
[17:30] <mhall119> not me
[17:30] <elfy> not me
[17:31] <dholbach> ok great - have a great rest of your day everyone!
[17:31] <dholbach> thanks
