 meinwald | yano: yep, this place does still exist despite statements to the contrary | 00:26:05 |
 @freenode_yano:matrix.org | meinwald: ikr? heh | 11:41:18 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | i've been watching the mailing list | 11:41:49 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | i think #colug used to be a thing, but then someone gave me this channel a while ago | 11:41:56 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | i'm not sure who orc_orc is | 11:42:15 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | 🤷 | 11:42:22 |
|  @freenode_jkinning:matrix.org joined the room. | 11:55:22 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | meinwald: at least we have ##ohio | 12:11:37 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | 🤷 | 12:11:38 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | but that's more than Columbus | 12:11:42 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | and surprisingly that is more active than here | 12:11:55 |
|  @freenode_jkinning_:matrix.org joined the room. | 13:57:48 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | no one said it didn't exist, i said it's been mostly dead for years | 20:22:21 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | we will not be able to repair the situation with this lug without acknowleding what we are repairing | 20:22:48 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | in any case, this can never be an official channel due to this network's policy on naming conventions. ## is reserved for talk channels. primary channels are # on freenode | 20:24:03 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | and we can't take ownership of the primary channel without either finding the owner or incorporating and submitting with the network; their policies are firm on it | 20:24:48 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | also groups are not allowed to own the primary channel in addition to the talk channel on freenode | 20:27:57 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | we can either stir cold ashes or start a new fire | 20:35:08 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | yeah, that's why we ended up in ##colug as it was very unlikely it was ever going to become official | 20:57:51 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | why | 20:58:02 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | why it would be unlikey? | 20:58:12 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | *unlikely? | 20:58:25 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | right | 20:58:25 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | red tape | 20:58:29 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | trying to figure out what can officially even talk on behalf of COLUG | 20:58:38 |
| @freenode_yano:matrix.org | like, is it an LLC, or a registered non-profit? | 20:58:51 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | it's neither | 20:59:27 |
| @freenode_bagira:matrix.org | brb | 20:59:33 |
