| fossfreedom | Hi all - to introduce myself - I'm the project lead for the new community flavour Ubuntu Budgie. Would like to register our freenode channel #ubuntubudgie | 21:39 |
|---|---|---|
| fossfreedom | would like some advice to push forward if poss. | 21:40 |
| k1l | i think the naming scheme is #ubuntu-something | 21:41 |
| Fuchs | fossfreedom: would be a lot easier if it was #ubuntu-budgie | 21:41 |
| Fuchs | fossfreedom: because that is in the ubuntu namespace, otherwise we (freenode staff) and the Ubuntu people have to set up more complicated rules than they already are | 21:41 |
| Fuchs | if that works for you, whatever Ubuntu GC (poke IRCC in here) can ask us to hand you that one over, yes :) | 21:42 |
| Menzador | Fuchs: The problem is, someone else not affiliated with them already registered #ubuntu-budgie. | 21:42 |
| Menzador | I've just been in communication with fossfreedom and the others. | 21:42 |
| Fuchs | that is a very fixable problem | 21:42 |
| Fuchs | it is in the #ubuntu-* namespace | 21:43 |
| Menzador | Fair enough. | 21:43 |
| fossfreedom | k - on LP we are also ubuntubudgie as well - thought it might be easier from a consistency POV - but can change for irc | 21:43 |
| k1l | Menzador: well, since its the ubuntu namespace its the IRCC to decide which team can run that channel | 21:43 |
| Fuchs | so we can hand it over once an Ubuntu GC tells us to | 21:43 |
| Fuchs | not saying it would be impossible to add #ubuntubudgie, just way more of a pain, especially when you at one point decide to create sub-channels of that as well | 21:43 |
| k1l | fossfreedom: usually its this process for creating a channel: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/CreatingChannels | 21:44 |
| * Fuchs tries prodding elky | 21:45 | |
| Menzador | All we need to do, then, is get freenode staff to clear the registration on the channel so that the Ubuntu Budgie team can "take over" :) | 21:46 |
| k1l | Menzador: well, the ircc needs to decide, but yes. that should be the path forward. | 21:47 |
| elky | who is justinz then and have you spoken to him? | 21:47 |
| Menzador | I dunno if fossfreedom has, but I haven't been able to raise this "justinz" | 21:49 |
| fossfreedom | no idea myself who is "justinz" | 21:50 |
| Fuchs | well | 21:51 |
| Fuchs | the current founder of #ubuntu-budgie | 21:51 |
| Fuchs | (note that the channel looks rather unused) | 21:51 |
| elky | it is empty except for Menzador and i | 21:51 |
| Menzador | Well, I just dropped in as a placeholder... | 21:52 |
| Fuchs | as said, we can hand it over to $foo if IRCC tells us to, and we gladly assist where we can, the decision we leave up to them, though :) | 21:52 |
| Menzador | We can try MemoServ'ing him... | 21:52 |
| elky | yeah i just didn't want to rip it from the hands of someone who thought they were helping out | 21:52 |
| Fuchs | sure, no hurry from our side :) | 21:53 |
| elky | i am slightly concerned that fossfreedom isn't registered or identified and thus could be anyone | 21:53 |
| elky | and can't be given ops in the channel until that's fixed anyway | 21:54 |
| elky | unless nickserv is lies | 21:54 |
| Menzador | fossfreedom: Have you asked for your Ubuntu member cloak? | 21:54 |
| Menzador | (He's an Ubuntu member, check the list) | 21:54 |
| elky | Menzador: i noted that. but that doesn't mean that this person here is fossfreedom on launchpad | 21:54 |
| fossfreedom | what is my "ubuntu member cloak" - new concept on me. | 21:55 |
| fossfreedom | k - back in 20 | 21:56 |
| elky | Fuchs: you can give the ubuntuirccouncil acct the #ubuntu-budgie channel and we can sort it out later | 21:56 |
| Fuchs | sure | 21:57 |
| Fuchs | shall I leave the old founder in place, or replace him? | 21:57 |
| elky | replace him | 21:57 |
| Fuchs | okay :) | 21:57 |
| Fuchs | done :) | 21:58 |
| elky | thanks | 21:58 |
| Fuchs | you can always add him back if needed. You're welcome | 21:58 |
| Menzador | I'm sorry, I didn't realise he wasn't registered. I'll vouch that he's the right "fossfreedom", as he came over from the official Ubuntu Budgie Gitter.im chat. But good call. I just told him to register so that he could get his Ubuntu member cloak. | 22:02 |
| === Menzador is now known as Guest93901 | ||
| Guest93901 | AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa | 22:03 |
| === Guest93901 is now known as Menzador | ||
| Fuchs | yes, A is always a good solution | 22:03 |
| Menzador | Especially when your connection stops unexpectedly! | 22:04 |
| Menzador | If you didn't see before - I'm sorry, I didn't realise he wasn't registered. I'll vouch that he's the right "fossfreedom", as he came over from the official Ubuntu Budgie Gitter.im chat. But good call. I just told him to register so that he could get his Ubuntu member cloak. | 22:04 |
| elky | Menzador: thanks :) | 22:04 |
| Menzador | Although I find it interesting that I tend to insert myself into new flavour planning and then leave within 6 months of launch. | 22:10 |
| Menzador | Although I still technically have a position with Lubuntu's and Ubuntu MATE's social media teams. | 22:10 |
| fossfreedom | elky: how do I register my 'cloak'? | 23:46 |
| elky | sec i'll see if staff around to request it from | 23:46 |
| elky | nhandler: if you're still around could you give fossfreedom a member cloak please :) | 23:47 |
| nhandler | Sure | 23:47 |
| nhandler | elky, fossfreedom: Done | 23:48 |
| elky | thanks nhandler :) | 23:48 |
| fossfreedom | thanks! | 23:48 |
| nhandler | My pleasure | 23:48 |
| elky | fossfreedom: do you know irc much at all? | 23:55 |
| fossfreedom | learning | 23:55 |
| elky | if not, it might be wise to recruit some of your trusted people who are familiar with it, who can help you run the channel | 23:55 |
| fossfreedom | aye - I have a member of the team who is very familiar | 23:56 |
| elky | the one who brought you here or another? | 23:56 |
| fossfreedom | another - does he have to be a ubuntu member | 23:56 |
| elky | nope | 23:57 |
| elky | also we can supply a bot to archive the channel activity on irclogs.ubuntu.com if you like | 23:58 |
