[21:39] <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
[21:40] <fossfreedom> would like some advice to push forward if poss.
[21:41] <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
[21:42] <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
[21:43] <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
[21:44] <k1l> fossfreedom: usually its this process for creating a channel: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/CreatingChannels
[21:45]  * Fuchs tries prodding elky
[21:46] <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" :)
[21:47] <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?
[21:49] <Menzador> I dunno if fossfreedom has, but I haven't been able to raise this "justinz"
[21:50] <fossfreedom> no idea myself who is "justinz"
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <fossfreedom> what is my "ubuntu member cloak" - new concept on me.
[21:56] <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
[21:57] <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 :)
[21:58] <Fuchs> done :)
[21:58] <elky> thanks
[21:58] <Fuchs> you can always add him back if needed. You're welcome
[22:02] <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.
[22:03] <Guest93901> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
[22:03] <Fuchs> yes, A is always a good solution
[22:04] <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 :)
[22:10] <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.
[23:46] <fossfreedom> elky: how do I register my 'cloak'?
[23:46] <elky> sec i'll see if staff around to request it from
[23:47] <elky> nhandler: if you're still around could you give fossfreedom a member cloak please :)
[23:47] <nhandler> Sure
[23:48] <nhandler> elky, fossfreedom: Done
[23:48] <elky> thanks nhandler :)
[23:48] <fossfreedom> thanks!
[23:48] <nhandler> My pleasure
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <elky> nope
[23:58] <elky> also we can supply a bot to archive the channel activity on irclogs.ubuntu.com if you like
