| sauvin | Anybody awake? | 01:00 |

| Flannel | sauvin: What can we do for you? | 01:20 |
| sauvin | I have somebody named "aaron" with an "ubuntu/member/aaron" mask asking for operator status in ##linux and was wondering if this is something that needs attention. | 01:21 |
| Flannel | attention is what way? | 01:22 |
| Flannel | er, in what way? | 01:22 |
| Flannel | And is this the "I'm new here, give me ops" or the "I've been a member of this community and I'd like to become an operator" sort of situation? | 01:22 |
| sauvin | I'm not familiar with how Ubuntu arranges its members/operators/whatnot and am being careful not to piss anybody off needlessly, but I've never heard from this Aaron before. | 01:22 |
| sauvin | I've had folks wander in demanding operator status before, and most of them have been obviously bad news right off the bat. Aaron was a lot more polite. | 01:24 |
| Flannel | sauvin: Operators and membership aren't really related at all. Membership in Ubuntu is earned through "sustained contributions to the Ubuntu project" (whether that be IRC, developer, forums, community, etc). | 01:24 |
| Flannel | Not all #*ubuntu* operators are members, and certainly not all members are operators. | 01:24 |
| sauvin | Gotcha, so, I can safely tell this fella that we're a bit choosy about our operators without causing any kind of political backlash. | 01:25 |
| Flannel | sauvin: Looks like IRC aaron is: https://launchpad.net/~timido if that helps. | 01:27 |
| Flannel | sauvin: As far as I'm concerned, even if I came over and asked for ops in ##linux, you should feel free to tell me to take a hike without it causing a ruckus :) | 01:27 |
| sauvin | Oh, well, then, this lets him out. He doesn't speak French! | 01:28 |
| sauvin | Flannel, on the basis of what you just told me, though (with respect to yourself), you might just be the kind of people person we'd look for. | 01:28 |
| Flannel | sauvin: Looks like his nick used to be TiMiDo, if that helps your recollection: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AaronFarias | 01:29 |
| Flannel | sauvin: What I said goes for all of the ubuntu operators, while I can't guarantee no one will be upset (because we're not a hive mind), the official Ubuntu IRC organization won't take any offense. | 01:30 |
| Flannel | That said, aaron is not an operator, so... apples and oranges to begin with. | 01:31 |
| sauvin | Yup. | 01:32 |
| Flannel | (He could be for some LoCo team channels though, those are generally self-governing) | 01:32 |
| * sauvin is looking at logs | 01:32 | |
| sauvin | I have only one nick ('aaron') for aaron, but a few idents: ubuntu, aaron, unix, dark, jesutinto, jointf, timido and hello. | 01:33 |
| Flannel | Probably different IRC clients/computers. | 01:34 |
| sauvin | Very likely, or even VPNs. If this guy doesn't stick out to you as trouble or potential trouble, I'm thinking it's nothing to worry about. | 01:35 |
| sauvin | Thank you for your time in this matter, and cheers. If your -ops channel is anything like mine, it's time to part now. | 01:36 |
| ubottu | lotuspsychje called the ops in #ubuntu (YouMight does not understand) | 14:47 |
| ubottu | pragmaticenigma called the ops in #ubuntu (YouMight is being generally disrpectful of others and disrupting all Ubuntu channels.) | 14:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | Is someone available to take care of YouMight ?? | 14:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | hggdh, acheronuk, ikonia ?? | 14:58 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: what's up | 15:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | Been trying to get help with a user that is trolling the main room... they've gone quiet for the moment | 16:00 |
| ikonia | I'll look into it | 16:01 |
| ikonia | thanks for the heads up pragmaticenigma I wasn't following | 16:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | Thanks ikonia ... they tend to perk up when the room appears dead | 16:02 |
| ikonia | I'll keep an eye out | 16:03 |
| nacc | might need someone to kick YouMight in #ubuntu | 17:57 |
| nacc | ikonia: thanks | 17:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | yes... thanks ikonia ... I knew they'd pipe up eventually | 17:59 |
| ikonia | took it's time | 17:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | has to be the hardest part of ops... catching the act | 17:59 |
| ikonia | normally it's quite blatant | 18:00 |
| hggdh | pragmaticenigma: now, if nothing else we can do for you, please /part. This is a no-idling channel | 18:04 |
