[03:24] kieppie hello hello!
[03:56] marclaporte hello kieppie! How are you?
[04:07] Lacrocivious marclaporte: Were you successful in contacting ClearFoundation and/or freenode personnel vis-a-vis channel resurrection?
[04:07] Lacrocivious marclaporte: This may be helpful: http://www.clearfoundation.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,232/catid,31/func,view/id,45705/
[04:08] kieppie hi marclaporte. good to see the channel up
[04:08] kieppie Lacrocivious - I've had contact with the CF peopel in th epast re this
[04:08] kieppie NZ & all
[04:08] Lacrocivious kieppie: Excellent!
[04:09] Lacrocivious What is their Raison del Recalcitrance? ;-)
[04:09] Lacrocivious de
[04:09] Lacrocivious That they're all asleep when most of their users are awake?
[04:09] kieppie they're not opposed to the idea, but rather that there as not the critical mass present to get the channel goin. also unable ot permenantly staff the channel with what is essentiall support staff
[04:09] Lacrocivious ...this is why *scrollback* was invented ;-)
[04:10] Lacrocivious It doesn't require dedicated support staff
[04:10] Lacrocivious Only occasional appearance, or even intelligently constructed referral path, to CF personnel
[04:10] kieppie anyhow - this is fine. good to at least see some activity now
[04:11] Lacrocivious I strongly suspect they don't use IRC because they don't understand how much it would take on its own strengths
[04:11] kieppie I believe they were willing to drop in on a weekly bass
[04:11] kieppie *basis
[04:11] Lacrocivious That'd be great
[04:11] Lacrocivious Besides, can you think of another project more likely to include a boatload of IRC veterans?
[04:12] kieppie that was a few months ago though - need to poke them again re that. I believe there's a standing ticket/forum thread for that
[04:12] Lacrocivious I mean, IRC was built by propeller-heads for propeller-heads ;-)
[04:12] kieppie g2g. ttyl
[04:12] Lacrocivious Okay, later ;-)
[04:13]  kieppie left #clearfoundation
[04:42] marclaporte Lacrocivious: I have been told it's not possible: http://freenode.net/group_registration.shtml

[17:19] MarcelvanLeeuwen okay back on the channel
[17:19] MarcelvanLeeuwen reactivated screen and irssi on my server
[17:20] MarcelvanLeeuwen good initiative guys!!!
[17:22] Lacrocivious MarcelvanLeeuwen: Were you part of the earlier experiment CF had when creating this channel?
[17:23] MarcelvanLeeuwen yup a year ago i believe...
[17:23] Lacrocivious marclaporte: That's sad news. It still means we can find the formerly specified primary contact with freenode and get them to dig up the passwords, make someone else chanop, etc
[17:24] Lacrocivious marclaporte: I remember now reading about the demise of the freenode 'parent company' when it happened, but I didn't fully realize what it would mean
[17:24] Lacrocivious MarcelvanLeeuwen: Do you have any idea who at CF may have been primary contact for freenode?
[17:25] MarcelvanLeeuwen I think Dave Looper
[17:25] MarcelvanLeeuwen I've talked a lot with him
[17:25] Lacrocivious MarcelvanLeeuwen: Any chance you could contact him and ask if he can come in for long enough to either resume, or transfer, chanop?
[17:26] MarcelvanLeeuwen channel operator
[17:27] MarcelvanLeeuwen means chanop
[17:27] Lacrocivious It's not good to have an opless channel because -- among other things -- spambots will eventually find it and then you might as well forget it
[17:27] Lacrocivious Yes, channel operator, sorry
[17:27] MarcelvanLeeuwen okay :)
[17:28] MarcelvanLeeuwen I will try to contact Dave
[17:28] Lacrocivious Thank you ;-)
[17:34] MarcelvanLeeuwen I mailed Tim Burgess
[17:35] MarcelvanLeeuwen hoping he has a mail address of Dave Looper which he is regulary checking...
[17:36] Lacrocivious Excellent ;-)
[17:37] Lacrocivious As I recall, a year ago the idea was to perform an 'IRC experiment' with perhaps a weekly visit by one or more CF devs?
[18:00] MarcelvanLeeuwen Yes your right
[18:06] MarcelvanLeeuwen There were few people interested
[18:07] MarcelvanLeeuwen unfortunately
[18:30] Lacrocivious I realize that since the Pointe Clarke days, the entity presently known as ClearFoundation has been forum-oriented, but I think it could be involved in both
[18:31] Lacrocivious Seems to me that ClearOS users would have a high percentage of propeller-heads who know and use IRC ;-)
