I know Tennessee had some opinions on it (at the time I thought it was loco or irc council policy for some time, I was just a regional contact back then) I'm going to add it to our teams agenda for our meeting tomorrow. I know personally it's earned it's weight, but others didn't like how widely indexed it was online via the big search engines.
I do like what ubuntu-nl did, creating an off topic channel & seeing that two channels work, without trading one for the other. However, we're unfocused until there is a need for a focused channel, for meetings, greeting & helping members new & old, then it becomes an unfocused channel again, there has allways been respect, something of an unwritten rule. be polite, don't fight. If logging were an issue, with a two channel system one logged & one not, what's to prevent an issue from being moved to offtopic, to avoid the logging, or make it a client to client message for that matter. on the other end, if logging wasn't made known, who's to say that the client your using isn't logging it? It's hard to have an opinion on this one way or another, I see that both sides have some merit, I'm not sure which way I'd lean. Why not leave it to the LoCo's (with some strong encouragement, listing where it's beneficial to have it) we have op's in our channel all the time (not displaying op status, no need for any ops) nor have we needed it in my almost 3 years as a member, our channel is active most of the day, nearly every day. what issues we had were a long time ago & via our mailing list, not on IRC (outside of logged meetings) it's been over a year & a half since that happened. I've not been on this list long & I suppose I don't fully understand the desire for requiring logging outside of meetings. I do see why logging is valuable & also unwanted, depending on your opinions on the matter, why make it policy for every loco to log their channels 24/7, instead of leaving that up to the loco's, which some loco's choose to log their channels? I ask with my mind fully open, just trying to have an understanding on that part of this issue. Signed, Zach Gibbens Tennessee PoC (ubuntu-us-tn) P.S I didn't mean for this to be as long winded as it became, my apologies. -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
