Wine hostmask for Freenode IRC
Hi folks. so what was the process of getting a wine/developer hostmask on freenode? I'll be hanging out on the #gsoc IRC channel, I'd like to make it a bit more obvious for students what project I mentor for. Cheers, Kai -- Kai Blin WorldForge developer http://www.worldforge.org/ Wine developer http://wiki.winehq.org/KaiBlin Samba team member http://www.samba.org/samba/team/ -- Will code for cotton.

I assume whoever is able to give me a hostmask will also be able to give me ops on #winehq. We obviously need more of those. Any other takers?

We have a problem. Mike McCormack 'owns' #winehackers. And Andreas Mohr 'owns' #winehq. You can see this with this command: /msg Chanserv info #<channel> The owner is the only person who can add someone at a high level and can genuinely fix things. The Channel server maintains 'levels': /msg Chanserv access #<channel> list shows current access rights and /msg Chanserv level #<channel> list shows what levels are needed. What you need is someone with an level of 30; that is the level required to permanently make someone an op. (To temporarily op someone requires level 10). Only Mike Hearn and Mike McCormack have level 30 on #winehackers. On WineHQ, many more folks have level 30, including myself. Now I had written Mike and Andreas asking them to pick someone active to turn ownership over to; neither of them replied. I seem to recall that someone had put a petition into Freenode to fix this, but I don't know what came of that. I'll plan on hanging out on #freenode and asking for help later on today. This is silly :-/. Cheers, Jeremy

Urk. It's even worse than I thought. To fix this, we need to submit a group registration: http://freenode.net/group_registration.shtml But they have a backlog...of months, and not single digit months. The only hope for is that the request on behalf of Wine that did go in a while ago may be getting near the top (I submitted a new one today as well). So I've sent email off to Mike and Andi begging them to help us out; I've specifically asked them to make Alexandre the contact. If anyone sees either of them in a bar, please trap them and make them sign on and fix this. Cheers, Jeremy

I submitted one ages ago and it was approved. Sorry that I've not been in IRC for ages, just lots to deal with outside of computer-land these days. For the record it took about a year and a half for the group registration to go through. AFAIK I now have overriding rights and control of the channels (although it's not shown in access). If anyone needs anything added or changed (including hostmasks) just email me. Ben H (aka Enverex).

Ah, great! Could I ask you to arrange to transfer that to the Software Freedom Conservancy? (That's our 'official' holder for things like this). And I think we need to get a raft of folks up to level 30 on #winehackers, starting with kai, and I'd appreciate it if you'd make me and julliard level 40 on both. Cheers, Jeremy

You probably have to file a new one to change the owner. If so, well, I've been waiting for one for Compiz for well over a year... -- Travis Watkins http://www.realistanew.com
