I'm not the channel operator. When we were launching it some robot popped on there and was preventing us from getting control of the channel at the time. I think there is a way to usurp this control but I'd need to look into it again.
So maybe he knows a solution... marclaporte: We discussed yesterday, and it doesn't seem possible at the moment: http://irc.tiki.org/irclogger_log/clearfoundation?date=2013-10-02,Wed&sel=30#l26
Anyone know how I can get commit notifications to ClearOS by email? MarcelvanLeeuwen: Lacrocivious asked me yesterday if i knew the channel operator
So i immediately thought it was Dave Loper of Clearfoundation
Lacrocivious asked me to contact Dave Loper
So i did marclaporte: :-)
It would be better to have a channel op and all, but it's not a blocker to making this place useful and awesome :-) MarcelvanLeeuwen: Maybe we have to search the forums if there is some post about it marclaporte: There is a command to check how is the owner, and it says freenode-staff MarcelvanLeeuwen: okay
freenode staff???
isn't that weird? Lacrocivious: Not weird at all; freenode is the network under which the #clearfoundation channel is hosted
There are several levels of administration channel-wise... founder, superop, chanop, halfop...
We should attempt to get chanop because without a channel operator, a spambot can render the channel useless with floods of crap marclaporte: Lacrocivious: I tried but failed. Can you try? Lacrocivious: The problem appears to be that, unless someone at CF set up the channel in proper fashion originally, through the freenode staff, then the demise of the registration as noted in marclaporte's link may prevent us from being able to fix things
MarcelvanLeeuwen: Your dialog with Dave Loper may bear fruit
I will go over my notes from the last time I got a project channel 'resurrected' and see if anything looks promising there, vis-a-vis ways to assert control of the channel. However, at that time freenode personnel were still actively registering and administering group creation/deletion/modification requests
I will try to carry this further, but before I do it would be great if we had all the information we can get about who originally created the channel and what if anything they did in the context of setting it up with operators
...because one of the things I will need to do is prove to the satisfaction of ... someone who may listen to us at freenode's gargantuan secret underground headquarters ... that I am not just some bozo with no connection to CF and no business messing with a channel ;-) MarcelvanLeeuwen: Dave Loper of Clearfoundation responded agian
He said that he look into it tommorrow or the weekend
He has a vicious workload right now
thanks for the explanation Lacrocivious
I'm not the most experienced IRC user
but find it awesome to learn new stuff
Maybe Dave has to talk to the Freenode admins marclaporte: ok, thanks for the follow-up
