Welcome to another monthly meeting of the IRC Team. I do not expect much work today, so 18:03 <hggdh> it should be fast... 18:04 <hggdh> #chair Tm_T 18:04 <meetingology> Current chairs: Tm_T hggdh 18:04 <hggdh> #topic all: IRC team meeting in 4 minutes 18:04 <hggdh> dammit 18:04 <hggdh> #topic Review last meetings action items 18:04 <hggdh> ah now it is better. 18:05 <hggdh> I do not remember, or see, and pending items. Am I wrong? 18:05 <Tm_T> sorry I'm bit out of the loop currently 18:06 <hggdh> we move on 18:06 <hggdh> #topic Open items in the IRCC tracker 18:06 <hggdh> I myself do not have access to the IRCC tracker; one single item comes to my mind, though 18:07 <hggdh> we opened nominations for the two available slots on the IRC Council, and we finally have (more than) enough candidates 18:08 <hggdh> so I sent the list to the CC, and am now waiting on their feedback. 18:08 <hggdh> As soon as I have it I intend to start the voting. 18:08 <rww> \o/ 18:08 <Tm_T> I am also waiting to be able to start rallying people to vote for IRCC nominations (: 18:09 <hggdh> heh 18:09 <Tm_T> we really need more blood to our ranks 18:09 <rww> oh, I had a question 18:09 <hggdh> indeed. Preferably warm blood ;-)... we have been sort of out of circulation 18:09 <hggdh> rww: please go ahead 18:09 <rww> Are those slots going to be full-term positions, or replacement positions for the rest of the term of the people they're replacing 18:10 <Tm_T> full term I hope 18:10 <hggdh> I do not know. I would personally consider them full-term; I expect I will be corrected if needed. 18:10 <hggdh> I will ask the CC about that 18:10 <rww> I'd guess full-term, but figured someone should decide *before* the results for the avoidance of doubt 18:10 <hggdh> rww: agree 18:11 <hggdh> #action hggdh to verify length of term for the two slots 18:11 * meetingology hggdh to verify length of term for the two slots 18:11 <Pici> I am here now. 18:11 <hggdh> #chair Pici 18:11 <meetingology> Current chairs: Pici Tm_T hggdh 18:11 * Tm_T huggles Pici 18:11 <Pici> (sorry, got distracted) 18:11 <Pici> huzzah 18:12 <hggdh> Any other point to be raised? 18:12 <hggdh> #topic Review Bugs related to the Ubuntu IRC Council 18:12 <Tm_T> biiig request at this point: let's have some calendar event for these IRCC meetings thad do have reminders 18:12 <Tm_T> as I keep missing the meetings /: 18:12 <hggdh> we only have one bug -- bug 892501 18:12 <ubottu> bug 892501 in ubuntu-community "Floodbots - need a re-write to be under ubuntu operator team control" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/892501 18:13 <hggdh> we have had some work done on replacement bots, but I am not up-to-date on it. anyone present cares to enlighten us? 18:14 <Pici> As I stated at the last meeting, we have unopaste right now, and Drone` is watching #ubuntu, but doesn't actually perform any actions based on what it sees. 18:15 <Pici> Has anyone been paying attention to what it reports in -ops-monitor? Any concerns? 18:15 <Unit193> (Slight correction: It watches: #ubuntustudio, #xubuntu, #kubuntu, #lubuntu, #ubuntu, and #ubuntu+1.) 18:16 <Tm_T> I have reading it occasionally but honestly I don't think I'm qualified to judge it as I am so badly out of the loop in this matter 18:16 <Tm_T> +been 18:16 * hggdh does not have access to -ops-monitor 18:16 <rww> I don't have concerns about Drone`, personally. 18:17 <hggdh> #topic review of the factoid review review 18:17 <hggdh> I think we are going into too many reviews here 18:17 <hggdh> any reason why we should be (re)visiting this? 18:18 <Pici> hggdh: you have acccess now. 18:18 <rww> i think that one can go off the agenda from now on 18:18 <hggdh> Pici: ack, thank you 18:18 <hggdh> rww: +1 18:18 <Tm_T> +1 to rww 18:19 <Pici> I agree. 18:19 * hggdh waits another 10 seconds... 18:19 <hggdh> ok 18:19 <hggdh> #topic Call for Operators 18:20 <hggdh> we do not have an open call for operators, but we do have some people asking to join 18:20 <hggdh> since I am not familiar with this piece of the game, I would rather pass the baton over to Tm_T or Pici 18:21 <Tm_T> yay! 18:21 <Tm_T> one moment 18:21 <hggdh> (this, of course, is one of the reasons why I added both as chairs) 18:22 * hggdh is now, happily, an observer 18:23 <Pici> hi, sorry, got up from my desk for a moment. 18:23 <Tm_T> hggdh: where? 18:23 <Pici> So, we have a few pending people on the list. I think the ones who are already operators should be approved, but the others seem to be somewhat random. 18:24 <Tm_T> aah 18:24 <Tm_T> Pici: agreed 18:24 <rww> fwiw, all of my op requests are because of troll activity that I was unable to stop because I wasn't opped at the time 18:24 <Unit193> http://paste.openstack.org/show/sTHCiu7Hpq54edInwajG/ 18:24 <Pici> Unit193: nice. 18:26 <Pici> What do the numbers mean? 18:26 <rww> launchpad karma 18:26 <Pici> ah 18:26 <Tm_T> +1 for Valorie and Robert, Popey looks suspicious so don't know about him 18:26 <hggdh> po who? 18:26 <Tm_T> maaaaaybe we can give him some rights too 18:27 <Tm_T> hggdh: Alan Pope 18:27 <rww> we could always give him access and then #blamepopey for everything 18:27 <Tm_T> hggdh: and I'm joking (: 18:27 <Tm_T> rww: true 18:27 <hggdh> heh, I know, was just adding to your suspicion 18:27 <Pici> I'll take care of the list for people who are already ops. 18:27 <hggdh> Pici: thank you. 18:28 * popey ears prick up 18:28 <Pici> #action Pici to update access lists from op requests 18:28 * meetingology Pici to update access lists from op requests 18:28 <Unit193> The #xubuntu applicant doesn't have his IRC nick listed, but I don't believe I know who that is anyway. 18:28 <hggdh> For the others... can we get feedback in the ML for them? Positive, or negative, or neutral 18:29 <hggdh> can we move on? 18:30 <Pici> sure 18:30 <hggdh> #topic Membership applications 18:30 <hggdh> none. So. moving on 18:30 <hggdh> #topic Any Other Business 18:30 <hggdh> Unit193: I think you had something? 18:30 <Unit193> Nothing this time. 18:31 <hggdh> ok 18:31 <hggdh> anybody has anything for here? 18:31 <Pici> not I 18:32 <teward> just an observation... if i may. 18:32 <hggdh> teward: please go on 18:32 <teward> (although a probably well known issue) 18:32 <teward> there are times where the core channels (such as #ubuntu) are subject to higher levels of disruptive activities which affect all userbase 18:32 <teward> such as last night, where there was a on-join CTCP bot sending CTCPs to users 18:33 <teward> those timeperiods have a noted lack of operators - it wasn't until I hopped into -ops and identified an op who was 'available' to look at the issue that it got addressed 18:33 <teward> whereas many individuals reported the issue in #ubuntu itself 18:33 <teward> I would call upon the IRC team to investigate and identify such lull times in operator availability and look into potentially finding ops who can fill those time periods of heightened disruptivity with some monitoring 18:34 <teward> (although this is not a recent issue, it has been present for a good bit of time) 18:34 <teward> (and will likely be an issue into the foreseeable future) 18:34 <teward> </done> 18:35 <Unit193> teward: So, you're done being done? ;) 18:35 <teward> heh 18:35 <hggdh> teward: ack. I am not sure how to deal with it, but we will discuss. 18:36 <hggdh> any other AOB request? 18:36 <hggdh> OK. 18:36 <hggdh> #endmeeting
