popeypleia2: knome have asked IS to re-use https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-community-wiki-editors (given it already exists and has knome as an admin) for wiki editorship. We can add admins to that as appropriate.14:55
popeyMade sense to re-use that as it's already used for that purpose, rather than make a whole other team14:55
pleia2popey: please don't, that's a special team that the documentation team has a process for joining15:37
pleia2it allows rename and delete, which are admin tasks that we don't grant to everyone15:38
pleia2edits aren't recoverable, so we really, really need to trust the folks we give that admin power to15:39

popeyah15:41
popeybum15:41
popeysorry15:42
pleia2it's ok, I guess I was unclear, I thought we had discussed creating a new team15:42
popeywill let them know15:42
pleia2thanks15:42
popeywe did, and i requested that, but they found that one and it seemed good, no worries, we'll get there  ðŸ˜ƒ15:42
pleia2if you read the description of that launchpad team it links to joining criteria, which we've been pretty strict about (which is why there are only 7 members :))15:44
pleia2and now, off to work!15:45
popeyo/15:45
knomepopey, what exactly would be the criteria to join this new group?16:25
knomepeople have suggested that the requirement level would be something between the ubuntu membership and the ubuntu-etherpad team membership, and that sounds about right, but leaves a lot of space for interpretations16:27
popeyI think we can work that out, but basically someone who is looking to become a member (because this blocks them) or someone who has some obvious track record of contribution16:27
popeyyes16:27
popey+10016:27
knomewhat we should do is to get as many sensibly moderated contributor teams as subteams...16:30
knomefor example, the xubuntu team very moderated, and there's no reason why everybody there shouldn't get the edit permissions16:30
knomeand by adding subteams we ultimately help ourselves with individual moderation16:31
knomebut of course, this can't be "every team there is" as it would again open up a lot of possibilities for spammers to be included16:31
popeyI would be exceptionally cautious of adding _any_ team at all to this one.16:40
popeyAt least to start.16:41
popeyGiven ~ubuntumembers and ~canonical are on it.16:41
knomemy gut feeling says any team that grants upload permissions to the archive should be safe to include at least...16:42
popeyPerhaps. Some careful thought needed. Maybe we should make an etherpad with a list we think might be useful.16:43
popeyNeed to be super careful that they're all teams that people can't self-join or coerce people to join16:43
popeyI agree ones like core dev which are quite nailed down seem like good candidates16:43
knomeindeed, all the teams included should be moderated16:43
knomeand not only moderated technically, but socially too16:44
pleia2czajkowski: glad I'm not the only one doing two talks about ubucon eu :)17:25

pleia2\o/17:56
pleia2the only time I've been to germany I was on schedule to get my gallbladder removed so I couldn't drink D:17:56
Kilosouch17:57
pleia2it was indeed sad17:57
pleia2but I did learn that darmstadt had a booming in house root beer brewing trend, so that was nice :)17:57
Kiloshehe17:57
popeyooooooo17:59
popeyi looooove root beer17:59
wxli quit alcohol but i adore a good handcrafted soda18:02
wxli got this caramel cola the other day that was sublime18:02
pleia2that does sound interesting18:03
wxlhttp://www.amazon.com/Retro-Brownie-Caramel-Cream-Root/dp/B009YN8BQO%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q%26tag%3Dduckduckgo-d-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB009YN8BQO18:04
wxlugh come on amazon18:05
popeyoooh18:32
popeyThere's a few people in the Ubuntu community who are fans of boutique colas. ikonia and directhex spring to mind18:38
* wxl creates ~ubuntu-soda-jerks18:40
wxl(not really)18:40
tsimonq2XD19:18
tsimonq2wxl: ever have bacon soda?19:18
tsimonq2popey: could somebody with access clarify http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/support/irc/ to indicate that #ubuntu-us isn't used pretty much at all anymore?21:01
popeyprobably someone in the US should confirm that21:07
knomepleia2?21:08
tsimonq2wxl: can you confirm the above?21:09
popeyI would imagine a brief look at the logs would reveal that :)21:10
popey(if it was logged)21:11
knomebut it isn't :P21:11
tsimonq2I have logs21:11
wxli didn't even know it was a thing21:11
tsimonq2wxl: yeah, I thought the US team was one thing at one point?21:11
wxlyeah well so were a lot of things :)21:12
tsimonq2:)21:12
tsimonq2wxl: so would it be safe to say that we should NOT recommend it?21:12
tsimonq2like on http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/support/irc/21:13
wxli think it might be wise, but i don't know21:13
pleia2knome: people come by about twice a year to ask for help with their state-based loco, so I keep it open and lurk in there, but the project itself isn't proactively doing work anymore21:41
pleia2and it's not a general support channel, it's specific to loco work21:41
knomemhm21:51
knomeisn't the idea of loco support a different language anyway21:51
knomewell, mostly..21:51
popeynot really21:57
knomethe support aspect of it21:57
popeythe uk loco is mostly offtopic, and a bunch of support from known people and randoms21:57
popeyfor some reason international people find the uk loco channel very easily and get support there21:58
popeywe often point them at #ubuntu of course21:58
popeybut our loco does a fair amount of support21:58
knomei understand that there are some potential local(e) issues, but for the most part, it's just normal questions in the local language21:58
popeyi guess uk is different because en_gb..21:59
knomesure; what i mean that the main reason to point people to say #ubuntu-fr is the support in french21:59
knomeso if somebody comes asking for help in #ubuntu in english, there is no real need to point them to the UK channel even if they are from the uk...21:59
popeyindeed22:00
knomeso that's probably why #ubuntu-us isn't high traffic :)22:00
knomeat least partly...22:00
knomeespecially as there are those state channels22:00
knomeit's kind of similar to #ubuntu-nordic... which is REALLY quiet22:01
