[06:01] <tgm4883> can I get a ubuntu cloak, I just got membership tonight https://edge.launchpad.net/~tgm4883
[08:01] <jpds> tgm4883: Sure, you'll have to wait till either nalioth or Pricey get back though.
[08:07] <tgm4883> ok, I'm headed to bed soon, so I'll try again in the morning
[09:37] <jester-> hi
[10:27] <Pricey> tgm4883: done
[10:27] <Pricey> hi jester-
[10:29] <jester-> hi Pricey
[14:34] <charlie-tca> Can I request an Ubuntu cloak? My Launchpad name is charlie-tca
[14:35] <erUSUL> charlie-tca: are you memeber?
[14:35] <erUSUL> charlie-tca: are you member?
[14:35] <jpds> charlie-tca: Please make sure that you have set up your Freenode account as per http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[14:35] <charlie-tca> yes, as of last night
[14:35] <Pici> jpds: ack, beat me ;)
[14:35] <charlie-tca> already set up;
[14:35] <jpds> charlie-tca: You can check your nicks and emails doing: /msg NickServ info
[14:35] <jpds> OK; nalioth and Pricey - can you do the honours^
[14:36] <charlie-tca> Thanks
[14:36] <jpds> charlie-tca: Were you at Google in December?
[14:37] <charlie-tca> no, I didn't make it
[14:37] <jpds> Ah, OK.
[14:37] <charlie-tca> Can't make Barcelona, either
[14:38] <jpds> Oh, that's a shame :(
[14:39] <Pici> Me either :(
[14:39] <pleia2> me either :(
[14:39] <pleia2> silly work
[14:39] <Pici> Ditto.
[14:39] <Pici> I have a system that is going live on June 1st.
[14:40] <pleia2> we're just short staffed, and I'm already going to a conference at the end of this month
[14:40] <jpds> This is probably a bad time to say I live right next to Bcn.
[14:40] * pleia2 shakes fist
[14:41] <pleia2> :)
[14:41] <charlie-tca> why would you think that, pleia2 ? ;)
[14:41] <charlie-tca> s/pleia2/jpds
[14:43] <jpds> charlie-tca: Only joking ;-)
[14:43] <pleia2> Pici: you should come down to the trenton computer festival next month :)
[14:44] <charlie-tca> I guess I can only wish to be close
[14:52] <jpds> Hmm, I'm in London on the 24th.
[14:56] <pleia2> jpds: of march?
[14:56] <jpds> Yeah.

[16:10] <foxbuntu> Hi all. I am looking to get my IRC cloak setup. LP: https://launchpad.net/~nickj-fox
[16:10] <rhpot1991> hello I was wondering if I can get a cloak: https://launchpad.net/~rhpot1991
[16:11] <Daviey> no
[16:11] <rhpot1991> :(
[16:11] <foxbuntu> o/ Daviey
[16:11] <Daviey> Gary / nalioth / Pricey ^^
[16:11] <Daviey> hey foxbuntu
[16:12] <jpds> foxbuntu, rhpot1991: Please make sure you've set up your nicks as per: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[16:12] <LjL> foxbuntu, rhpot1991: have you followed the freenode nickname setup steps, namely setting an email address and an alternate nick?
[16:13] <rhpot1991> I believe so, happened a long time ago
[16:13] <rhpot1991> is there a good way to check?
[16:14] <LjL> rhpot1991: freenode staff will check for you, please hold on
[16:14] <jpds> rhpot1991: See: /msg NickServ info
[16:15] <foxbuntu> LjL, jpds I believe mine is setup that way as well
[16:16] <rhpot1991> I need to set an alternate nick, how does one do that?
[16:16] <jpds> rhpot1991: /nick rhpot1991_ and /msg NickServ group
=== rhpot1991 is now known as rhpot1991_
=== rhpot1991_ is now known as rhpot1991
[16:16] <jpds> \o/
[16:16] <rhpot1991> there we go, all good
[16:17] <tomaw> what kind of cloak are you after?
[16:17] <foxbuntu> Ubuntu Members
[16:17] <LjL> tomaw: they're ubuntu members. i can't approve the cloaks but i do believe they're eligible
[16:18] <rhpot1991> yep Ubuntu Member
[16:18] <tomaw> LjL: the request needs to come from a group contact
[16:18] <LjL> tomaw: yes i know, i've pinged one
[16:18] <rhpot1991> I'd like a bot cloak as well if possible
[16:18] <rhpot1991> I think I need to give him an alt nick too, working on it
[16:19] <LjL> tomaw: i thought he wasn't away but perhaps he is after all
[16:21] <LjL> rhpot1991, foxbuntu: all the people who can approve your cloaks currently seem to be away from what i can tell, you'll have to be patient about it.
[16:21] <rhpot1991> LjL: no problem
[16:22] <foxbuntu> LjL, np, we are slackers anyways ;)
[16:24] <tgm4883> thanks Pricey
[16:31] <LjL> tomaw: do you think perhaps having them listed in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-cloaks/+members will do? i suspect actual group contacts won't be available very soon
[16:32] <tomaw> Nah, I don't know enough about how ubuntu controls their cloaks to issue them based on being listed on a website
[16:32] <tomaw> Your best bet is to wait until one of them is online. I can give an unaffiliated cloak until then if you wish.
[16:32] <rhpot1991> I'm fine with waiting, no hurry here
[16:35] <Myrtti> LjL: don't stress so much dear, it's bad for your skin ;-)
[16:40] <foxbuntu> Yeah guys just when you can. No hurry.

[21:21] * st33med_ hands rhpot1991 a dagger
[21:23] <Pricey> < jpds> foxbuntu: Please make sure you've set up your nicks as per: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[21:23] <Pricey> st33med_, rhpot1991, done
[21:23] <st33med_> \o/
[21:24] <st33med_> /reconnect?
=== st33med_ is now known as st33med
[21:26] <rhpot1991> Pricey: have a minute to talk about getting a bot cloak?
[21:26] <Pricey> st33med: no need to reconnect on that. Check your status window from before :)
[21:27] <nalioth> rhpot1991: bot cloak?
[21:27] <st33med> ...
[21:27] <charlie-tca> okay, so how do I get my nic to cloak?
[21:28] <rhpot1991> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/Cloaks says you can get your bot a cloak
[21:28] <st33med> And my email is set for [email protected]?
[21:29] <Pricey> st33med: it will be the bit after the ~ in your launchpad profile url
[21:30] <Pricey> st33med: it may take around 2 weeks to set up, its done automanually
[21:30] <st33med> Oh ok
[21:32] <jpds> Pricey: Err, no.
[21:33] <nalioth> rhpot1991: it says "with irc council approval", so I ask again "bot cloak?"
[21:33] <jpds> st33med: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEmail
[21:34] <Pricey> jpds: oh?
[21:34] <jpds> Pricey: ^
[21:34] <st33med> The script which creates the email aliases runs every 2 days. So please wait at least 48 hours before checking if the email is working (or leave it a couple more days to be sure).
[21:34] <Pricey> uu shiny
[21:34] <st33med> so by tomorrow at 11:00
[21:34] <Pricey> "As the alias forwards email to your primary address on LP - please do not set your primary email address for Launchpad to your Ubuntu email address as this will result in a loop."
[21:34] <st33med> PM est
[21:34] <Pricey> weird... as that's what i did ages ago
[21:34] <rhpot1991> nalioth: thats what I am asking for approval
[21:35] <nalioth> rhpot1991: what is the purpose of your bot? where do you want to operati it? what is the bot nick? etc etc etc
[21:35] <nalioth> we don't just hand out cloaks upon request
[21:35] <jpds> Pricey: Yeah, they set it up so that it doesn't change the alias if LP.email.contains("@ubuntu.com").
[21:35] <jpds> Pricey: But I put that there so people just. don't. do. it.
[21:35] <LjL> Pricey: err... they certainly could *check* for such a loop and stop it
[21:36] <Pricey> ah ok :)
[21:36] <Pricey> But cool!
[21:36] <Pricey> How long has it been like that?
[21:36] <jpds> No idea.
[21:37] <jpds> st33med: Might take a bit longer, but patience is the key.
[21:37] <rhpot1991> nalioth: its nick is Zinn, it lives in #ubuntu-mythtv and #ubuntu-mythtv-dev. It serves a few purposes currently: bug tracking, user help, dev meeting logging, and a few fun things for us mythbuntu developers
[21:37] <rhpot1991> nalioth: wasn't looking for a free handout, just trying to figure out who I need to talk to :)
[21:37] <st33med> How would I check jpds?
[21:37] <jpds> st33med: Ask someone to send you an email.
[21:38] <st33med> or, I could send myself one
[21:38] <jpds> If you're using Gmail, no.
[21:38] <st33med> Nah, comcast. :|
[21:38] <rhpot1991> nalioth: we teach it things that it stores in mysql and can be repeated back to users having issues, this is its knowledge: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi
[21:38] <rhpot1991> nalioth: oh an it also yells at people for cursing or talking about illegal products (TV related)
[21:38] <jpds> st33med: In that case, yes.
[21:39] <st33med> Nope, not yet
[21:39] <nalioth> rhpot1991: ok, we'll get back with you
[21:39] * st33med is patient
[21:40] <rhpot1991> nalioth: ok, via email or should I check back in here?
[21:40] <st33med> I made a bot from scratch. I think you have seen it before nalioth
[21:40] <rhpot1991> nalioth: feel free to check with the tgm4883 or superm1 about it existing in those channels, also I can make the source available if need be, I'd need to scrub some mysql info first
[21:41] <nalioth> rhpot1991: we'll find you on irc
[21:41] <rhpot1991> nalioth: good enough, thanks :)

[22:59] <nicolas> hi there
[22:59] <nicolas> is it possible to register a channel with some members in actually ?
[23:02] <jpds> Pardon?
[23:03] <nicolas> #ubuntu-fr-scripts have some user, and some idle, so no way to part all and register channel for ubuntu-fr-irc
[23:04] <jpds> Yeah, they'll have to leave first so you can become oped.
[23:04] <nicolas> yes
[23:04] <stdin> if you can't get the users to part, then the only option, that I can think of, is for the LoCo contact for #ubuntu-fr to ask a member of the IRCC to get staff to register it
[23:04] <nicolas> so i have to wait
[23:05] <nicolas> i'm already admin of #ubuntu-fr* channel
=== nicolas is now known as [NikO]
[23:06] <stdin> try sending an email to the council
[23:06] <[NikO]> well, i just wait to have all people in line :
[23:09] <nalioth> jpds: not so
[23:09] <nalioth> jpds: if we can speak to one of the ops of #ubuntu-fr, we can register it w/o dumping folks
[23:10] <nalioth> stdin: email? this is irc
[23:10] <jussi01> [NikO]: is one, is he not?
[23:10] <stdin> nalioth: assuming one can not find a council member currently active
[23:11] <[NikO]> nalioth: i m' op of #ubuntu-fr
[23:11] <[NikO]> and admin also
[23:11] <[NikO]> i have acces to ubuntu-fr-irc account
[23:12] <nalioth> [NikO]: merry christmas :p
[23:13] <[NikO]> thanks :)
[23:15] <jussi01> bit of a late/early christmas
