[10:29] <gevreeen> how can I create a new project in launchpad?
[10:30] <gevreeen> oh, nvm. had to relogin to see the register button
[10:31] <gevreeen> but I don't get to choose the license for the project on creation?
[11:28] <ilasc> gevreeen: you do on the second screen under Licenses
[16:19] <frost-core> Hello!
[16:19] <frost-core> i would like to get started with launchpad, but i dont know the minimum age
[16:22] <frost-core> does canonical limit the age?
[16:24] <cjwatson> Some of Canonical's services (the snap store) specify a minimum age of 13.  Launchpad's terms and conditions currently don't specify a minimum age, though I'm not sure whether that's an oversight
[16:25] <frost-core> also, what about ubuntu one?, since its used to register onto launchpad
[16:25] <cjwatson> Not being a lawyer I'm not sure I want to say anything more on that other than just the facts of what's there at the moment ...
[16:25] <cjwatson> Ah yes, Ubuntu One specifies a minimum age of 13
[16:25] <cjwatson> https://ubuntu.com/legal/terms-of-service
[16:26] <cjwatson> So I think in practice that applies to Launchpad too
[16:30] <frost-core> as a kid, i dont really know what to do in this situation
[16:31] <cjwatson> Yeah, I'm sorry, I think these restrictions tend to be imposed on us to avoid getting into trouble with various national laws which are very strict about online services for children
[16:31] <cjwatson> (But as I say, not a lawyer so I'm just guessing from what I've read)
[16:32] <frost-core> also, i see that different countries have different law, so this probably applies on some countries
[16:33] <gevreeen> ilasc: got it. already past this page but thanks anyway
[16:35] <gevreeen> cjwatson claimed yestereve that launchpad.net's not hosted in the us, so your crypto work's less likely to be subject to us export restrictions
[16:36] <gevreeen> which is a legal advantage
[16:36] <frost-core> im not in the us
[16:36] <frost-core> im in algeria
[16:38] <frost-core> and crypto is not allowed in algeria
[16:40] <cjwatson> What matters here is probably UK law, since Launchpad is hosted in the UK, so I think https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2016/679/article/8 applies
[16:41] <cjwatson> (at the very least)
[16:41] <cjwatson> But regardless, Canonical's terms and conditions are what they are, I can't really say more than that
[16:43] <gevreeen> well, beggars like me can't be choosers. another option, notabug.org, was a favorite of mine, until I found out someone tried to DDOS the site as soon as a guy from #gnu made a statement on the service.
[16:44] <frost-core> hmm seems like it has no age limitations
[16:46] <gevreeen> ideally a service like launchpad should be housed in some concrete bunker deep underground in iceland, powered through geothermal energy
[16:46] <gevreeen> but that's not gonna happen any time soon
[16:49] <cjwatson> It's hard enough getting upgrades done as it is ;-)
[17:00] <frost-core> i love that notabug.org exists, as i can get started with my own repositories
[17:00] <frost-core> when i grow up, i may switch to launchpad
[17:09] <gevreeen> it exists, passed gnu's tests, and yet remainsbrittle
[17:10] <gevreeen> it's not like I can tell a normal folks from a pegasus employee on irc
