16:31:17 * hiemanshu is here

16:33:21 <nirik> #topic Stats / Last week retrospective
16:33:27 <nirik> http://theglaserfamily.org/ircstats/fedora-weekly.html as always
16:33:47 <nirik> was a kinda busy week I think...
16:34:04 <nirik> of course with all the freenode netsplits it made it difficult to help people sometimes.
16:34:19 <nirik> @channelstats #fedora
16:34:20 <fedbot> nirik: On #fedora there have been 1458916 messages, containing 57002817 characters, 10035099 words, 42979 smileys, and 47740 frowns; 22397 of those messages were ACTIONs.  There have been 338717 joins, 30699 parts, 306772 quits, 1061 kicks, 2866 mode changes, and 83 topic changes.  There are currently 556 users and the channel has peaked at 1242 users.
16:34:39 <nirik> I'll probibly wipe that db out for the new year.
16:34:41 <zcat> that peak can't be right. was 650ish.
16:34:52 <thomasj> That was the zombie attack
16:34:58 <zcat> missed it
16:35:15 <zcat> could maybe set the join limit on the channel?
16:35:16 <nirik> yeah, we had 600-700 people join at once.
16:35:24 <nirik> then get klined.
16:36:14 <nirik> we could, but it's not really been a problem usually.
16:36:22 <DiscordianUK> Apologies for being late
16:37:05 <zcat> +J "x,y"    This mode takes one parameter of the form "x,y", where x and y are positive integers. These two integers control the rate at which users may join the channel. The limit is roughly y users every x*y seconds, but the algorithm allows for bursts.
16:37:06 <nirik> no worries.
16:37:16 <nirik> zcat: yeah, what would you propose for x and y there?
16:37:23 <Southern_Gentlem> i am amazed that the channel # have stayed  around 550
16:37:51 <zcat> nirik, haven't used it, so not sure. should be higher than the average join rate
16:38:02 <nirik> I guess we can try and look at what the join rate is at different times...
16:38:13 <nirik> or just be ready to set it if we see mass joins again?
16:38:23 <zcat> yep
16:38:48 <nirik> Southern_Gentlem: yeah, it's been pretty steady...
16:38:50 <thomasj> Hm.. for that kind of mass joins +r is good as well
16:39:06 <nirik> anything else anyone would like to mention about the last week in channel?
16:39:24 <zcat> slightly higher troll percentage...
16:39:43 <thomasj> yeah
16:39:43 <Southern_Gentlem> the kiddies are starting to get out on winter brak so we have been seeing more trolls
16:39:44 <nirik> yeah, there was a burst of them at one point...
16:40:00 <Southern_Gentlem> break
16:40:03 <zcat> ddos on it's 3rd day; f10 went eol; lots of nvidia whining...
16:40:44 <Southern_Gentlem> (yet to get nvidia working on this box)
16:40:52 <nirik> yeah, which brings along the next topic...
16:41:07 <nirik> #topic goodbye f10, you served us well
16:41:28 <nirik> f10 is eol now... so the usual rules apply to directing people to upgrade and/or fedora-eol.
16:41:36 * nirik waves goodbye to it.
16:42:11 <DiscordianUK> F10 was a good release
16:42:17 * hiemanshu hugs F10 good bye
16:42:21 <nirik> yep.
