=== Phanes- is now known as Phanes === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy [21:39] 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] would like some advice to push forward if poss. [21:41] i think the naming scheme is #ubuntu-something [21:41] fossfreedom: would be a lot easier if it was #ubuntu-budgie [21:41] 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] if that works for you, whatever Ubuntu GC (poke IRCC in here) can ask us to hand you that one over, yes :) [21:42] Fuchs: The problem is, someone else not affiliated with them already registered #ubuntu-budgie. [21:42] I've just been in communication with fossfreedom and the others. [21:42] that is a very fixable problem [21:43] it is in the #ubuntu-* namespace [21:43] Fair enough. [21:43] 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] Menzador: well, since its the ubuntu namespace its the IRCC to decide which team can run that channel [21:43] so we can hand it over once an Ubuntu GC tells us to [21:43] 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] fossfreedom: usually its this process for creating a channel: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/CreatingChannels [21:45] * Fuchs tries prodding elky [21:46] 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] Menzador: well, the ircc needs to decide, but yes. that should be the path forward. [21:47] who is justinz then and have you spoken to him? [21:49] I dunno if fossfreedom has, but I haven't been able to raise this "justinz" [21:50] no idea myself who is "justinz" [21:51] well [21:51] the current founder of #ubuntu-budgie [21:51] (note that the channel looks rather unused) [21:51] it is empty except for Menzador and i [21:52] Well, I just dropped in as a placeholder... [21:52] 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] We can try MemoServ'ing him... [21:52] yeah i just didn't want to rip it from the hands of someone who thought they were helping out [21:53] sure, no hurry from our side :) [21:53] i am slightly concerned that fossfreedom isn't registered or identified and thus could be anyone [21:54] and can't be given ops in the channel until that's fixed anyway [21:54] unless nickserv is lies [21:54] fossfreedom: Have you asked for your Ubuntu member cloak? [21:54] (He's an Ubuntu member, check the list) [21:54] Menzador: i noted that. but that doesn't mean that this person here is fossfreedom on launchpad [21:55] what is my "ubuntu member cloak" - new concept on me. [21:56] k - back in 20 [21:56] Fuchs: you can give the ubuntuirccouncil acct the #ubuntu-budgie channel and we can sort it out later [21:57] sure [21:57] shall I leave the old founder in place, or replace him? [21:57] replace him [21:57] okay :) [21:58] done :) [21:58] thanks [21:58] you can always add him back if needed. You're welcome [22:02] 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. === Menzador is now known as Guest93901 [22:03] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa === Guest93901 is now known as Menzador [22:03] yes, A is always a good solution [22:04] Especially when your connection stops unexpectedly! [22:04] 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] Menzador: thanks :) [22:10] 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] Although I still technically have a position with Lubuntu's and Ubuntu MATE's social media teams. [23:46] elky: how do I register my 'cloak'? [23:46] sec i'll see if staff around to request it from [23:47] nhandler: if you're still around could you give fossfreedom a member cloak please :) [23:47] Sure [23:48] elky, fossfreedom: Done [23:48] thanks nhandler :) [23:48] thanks! [23:48] My pleasure [23:55] fossfreedom: do you know irc much at all? [23:55] learning [23:55] 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] aye - I have a member of the team who is very familiar [23:56] the one who brought you here or another? [23:56] another - does he have to be a ubuntu member [23:57] nope [23:58] also we can supply a bot to archive the channel activity on irclogs.ubuntu.com if you like
