[02:05] <TheNet> hey... got spam from a user in #ubuntu:
[02:05] <TheNet> ashleee22: L'unico posto dove si può vedere l'ultimo collegamento di un numero, ma ha nascosto !! checkwhatsapp.com
[02:06] <IdleOne> handled, thanks
[02:06] <TheNet> thanks
[16:00] <hggdh> elky: ping
[16:14] <ikonia> hello there zpfeffer
[16:28] <k1l> carols ip is a proxy.
[18:05] <DJones> zpfeffer: Is there something that the Ubuntu-ops team can help you with?
[19:14] <elfy> hi - got hfsplus being an indjit in ubuntu+1 - tia :)
[19:14] <elfy> thanks for all you do - cya
[19:19] <elky> hggdh pong?
[19:20] <hggdh> elky: so, do you accept the nomination for the IRCC?
[19:20] <hggdh> with that we will be with 4 candidates for the two slots, so you have around a 50% chance of being elected
[19:21] <hggdh> no, sorry, it will be five, so less than 50%
[19:22] <elky> hggdh: sure, why not :)
[19:22] <rww> I see hggdh has caught on to my strategy of "nominate a tonne of people so I'm less likely to get elected"
[19:22] <hggdh> thank you :-)
[19:22] <hggdh> with that I think we have enough candidates to send over to the CC
[19:22] <elky> i'm pretty sure that makes me the biggest fool of the lot
[19:23] <rww> elky: since you've done it before?
[19:23] <elky> yes
[19:23] <hggdh> elky: oh, no, not at all. The, ah, foolest, methinks, is my poor self ;-)
[19:23] <rww> elky: all things considered, you do seem to have a penchant for getting in situations where you need to talk with annoying people every day ;)
[19:24] <elky> hggdh: ah, but i escaped
[19:24] <hggdh> rww: I had not actually caught on the strategy, but I did like the base idea
[19:25] <hggdh> it works for all: "oh, thre are 5 for two positions, so I will not be the lucky bastard"
[19:33] <IdleOne> hggdh: I would like to nominate jussi, tsimpson, and genii
[19:33] <hggdh> heh
[19:34] <hggdh> IdleOne: we need that in an email with the links to LP and wiki...
[19:34] <IdleOne> meh..forget it
[19:34] <genii> Hm.
[19:34] <hggdh> :-)
[19:34] <IdleOne> genii: unless you are interested
[19:34] <genii> My LP really needs updating
[19:35] <IdleOne> if so I'll happily write an email
[19:35] <hggdh> genii: this is the moment, this is the hour
[19:35] <DJones> Good job its not people being nominated, but people having to apply
[19:36] <DJones> Or at least accept nomination
[19:36] <hggdh> DJones: well, there is that. Always worry when somebody else volunteers you
[19:36]  * DJones is inelligible
[19:36] <hggdh> DJones: accepting the nominations is required (at least by me)
[19:36] <DJones> I haven't applied for Ubuntu membership
[19:37] <hggdh> why not, if I may ask?
[19:37] <IdleOne> DJones: I still have access to the button that needs to be pushed to make you a member
[19:37]  * IdleOne is tempted
[19:37] <genii> How much time is involved? I hear there's a lot of turnover
[19:37]  * hggdh still has access to the same button, plust the other one that cancels the first)
[19:38] <IdleOne> genii: weekly meetings (hardly ever happens) ignore emails about abusive ops (hourly)
[19:38] <DJones> hggdh: I don't think I do enough to be eligible for membership, I see sustained contribution as being more than just IRC/bug reporting etc
[19:38] <hggdh> genii: usually not really intense: one (theoretical) monthly meeting, and responding to user's complaints
[19:39] <hggdh> DJones: IRC contribs are considered
[19:39] <IdleOne> DJones: the support you do and the op duties alone make you eligible
[19:39] <hggdh> (per se)
[19:39]  * IdleOne would +1 DJones anytime for membership
[19:40] <DJones> hggdh: IdleOne: I know it makes me eligible, bit I always put myself down, I don't think I do enough to have earned membership
[19:40] <DJones> s/bit/but/
[19:40] <IdleOne> DJones: trust me you have and do
[19:40] <rww> DJones: IdleOne doesn't do anything and he got it :3
[19:41] <hggdh> genii: I am not sure about turnover for previous instances of the IRCC; current one is around 40%
[19:41] <IdleOne> :(
[19:41] <DJones> Maybe I'll think about it
[19:41] <IdleOne> rww: I haven't been doing much for a while but I think I more than earned my membership just in abuse from fellow ops
[19:41] <rww> the main novelty of this IRCC is that they actually resign instead of just disappearing
[19:41] <genii> I wish there was some clause that you could accept nomination if there aren't enough people in the race already and everyone would just get acclaimed or so
[19:41] <hggdh> DJones: do an exercise: fill in your wiki page with a proposal for membership, and ask people here for referrals
[19:42] <IdleOne> people here and your loco
[19:42] <DJones> Just started watching a film that makes me think about this, the start of "The Da Vinci Code", images of a naked bloke whipping himself
[19:42] <IdleOne> my guess is you get 15 minimum
[19:42] <rww> DJones: bwahahaha
[19:42] <hggdh> DJones: you left me with disturbing mental image
[19:43] <DJones> hggdh: You should have seen the video, that may be worse
[19:43] <hggdh> genii: unfortunately we need at least n+1 candidates for n slots
[19:45] <genii> hggdh: Yes, I realize. We sometimes have the same situation at Toronto FreeNet
[19:46]  * genii nominates mneptok
[19:46]  * genii giggles and runs away
[19:47] <rww> shame HFSPLUS doesn't have ubuntu membership, I'd nominate him in a heartbeat
[19:48] <DJones> rww: Will you stop reading my mind
[19:48] <DJones> I had the same thought
[19:49]  * mneptok declines by setting himself on fire
[19:50] <IdleOne> drastic
[19:51] <mneptok> i must preserve my reputation as a drama queen. *hair toss*
[19:51] <IdleOne> I've read that about you
[19:51] <IdleOne> right right, they have a plaque on the wall at the Canonical offices
[19:52] <mneptok> "Those who forget the past shall be condemned to repeat it."
[19:53] <IdleOne> something like that
[22:22] <k1l> zpfeffer: hi
[22:26] <hggdh> we have been trying to engage zpfeffer since some six hours ago. I do not think we need to keep trying
