| guruprasad | Hi Skia, we have a process for handling requests like yours. I see that the existing https://launchpad.net/~skia account has no activity. We usually write to the owner of that account to confirm that they are okay with renaming their account so that the username is freed for you and if they don't respond, we take an executive decision on whether to do the account rename or not. | 05:10 |
|---|---|---|
| guruprasad | Note that if your existing Launchpad account has any PPAs, your account cannot be renamed. | 05:10 |
| Skia | guruprasad: okay, thanks. Can you please proceed with that? I'll remove my remaining PPAs when I can do the renaming. Thanks! | 08:39 |
| Skia | guruprasad: I might want to make this clear: I had already tried contacting the user to see if this could be done without bothering LP, and had got a reply once. Quote: `I use this nickname more than 13 years and i am going to use it in the future`. I had tried arguing that "in the future" was not really well defined, that they had have the name for 12 years without using it, that I already owned the | 09:23 |
| Skia | Salsa, Libera and OFTC "Skia" nickname, with "Skia" also as a display name for a while, etc... I've sent this email trying to negociate the situation, but it went completely unanswered. | 09:23 |
| Skia | In the end, all I really want is the `skia@ubuntu.com` email address, so whether that's by renaming the LP account or another way to override, I don't really care :-) | 09:24 |
| Skia | (sorry for the delay, I needed to look up the quote) | 09:25 |
| sudip | guruprasad: I have a similar request, can I get the launchpad id of 'sudip' please. I am sudip everywhere, only sudipmuk in launchpad :( | 09:43 |
| guruprasad | Skia, if the user responds and refuses to give their consent, I am not sure what we can do. I will need to check with my team. | 09:55 |
| Skia | guruprasad: okay, thanks! | 09:57 |
| guruprasad | sudip, your case is similar where the existing account with the username of your choice has no activity. So we have to ask them about it. Can you file a request for this under https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad? | 09:57 |
| guruprasad | or send an email to feedback@launchpad.net | 09:57 |
| guruprasad | Skia, can you do the same too so that we have an audit trail for these requests? | 09:58 |
| Skia | sure, thanks | 09:58 |
| sudip | guruprasad: sure, will do it in an hour. thanks for looking | 09:58 |
| Skia | I'll try to gather the full picture in an understandable way | 09:59 |
| sudip | guruprasad: opened https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/820059 for you | 11:27 |
| guruprasad | sudip, ack | 14:36 |
| guruprasad | A colleague will look into it soon | 14:36 |
