17:02:20 <EvilBob> #topic Week in Review (IRC Support SIG)

17:03:11 <EvilBob> Pretty normal week I think, some great new users that were fun to work with
17:04:09 <EvilBob> Anyone have anything else to add? Remember the "too many cooks" situation as always.
17:04:35 <kc8hfi> too many cooks?  I thought it was too many chiefs
17:04:56 * kc8hfi goes back to the corner
17:04:57 <EvilBob> One thing that came up this morning was where users should get GNOME Shell extensions from.
17:05:40 <talcite> isn't there that gnome shell extension website?
17:05:53 <talcite> https://extensions.gnome.org/
17:06:51 <EvilBob> I am of the opinion they should get them from the Fedora™ repo if they exist, this way they get updates when the package is updated. Others have suggested the gnome.org website. My concern is Fedora™ is a package based distro and we should suggest using rpms when ever possible. Users would have to track updates on gnome.org if they don't use the packages.
17:06:52 <kc8hfi> i think some of the problems was that the extensions didn't work or something
17:07:07 <EvilBob> #link https://extensions.gnome.org/
17:07:14 <EvilBob> talcite: thank you for the link
17:07:31 <EvilBob> Any opinions on this?
17:07:45 * nirik agrees with EvilBob.
17:07:52 <nirik> of course all of them may not be packaged up yet.
17:08:03 <talcite> The repo is a bit slow to update though. Also, the ones in the repo don't always work either
17:08:08 <EvilBob> nirik: there are several in review status again
17:08:40 <talcite> does anyone know how the extensions.gnome.org site handles updates?
17:08:42 <EvilBob> talcite: then in that case bugs should be filed including RFE for a version update.
17:09:15 <EvilBob> talcite: some packagers have many many packages and can lose track of updates upstream
17:09:28 <talcite> ah ok
17:09:48 <EvilBob> talcite: I think the gnome site requires you to look for yourself as an end user
17:10:01 <EvilBob> Anything else this week or can I move on?
17:10:23 <EvilBob> Moving on.
17:10:25 <EvilBob> #topic Trac Tickets
17:10:25 <EvilBob> #link https://fedorahosted.org/irc-support-sig/report/1
17:10:47 <EvilBob> We have no open tickets this week so nothing to cover. I will move on to the Open Floor
17:10:57 <EvilBob> #topic Open Floor
17:11:29 <EvilBob> If there is nothing for the open floor I will end the meeting in a couple minutes.
17:11:47 <nirik> just as a note, fedbot went out to lunch while I was away... will try and come up with solutions to prevent that...
17:12:17 <EvilBob> I would like to welcome nirik back also DiscordianUK was away for a couple days.
17:12:29 <EvilBob> nirik: Yes, fedbot was missed...
17:12:32 <EvilBob> ;)
17:12:41 <EvilBob> You... not so much. ;)
17:12:46 <nirik> :)
17:13:05 <Sonar_Gal> Yes fedbot was majorly missed
17:13:46 <nirik> will work out some plans to make it better... hopefully the world didn't end. ;)
17:14:20 <EvilBob> nirik: The population of -unregistered was nearly 100 when I cleared it this morning
17:14:34 <Sonar_Gal> The thing with fedbot gone is bot-ops can't op
17:14:46 <Sonar_Gal> EvilBob, are you not a full op in unreg?
17:14:50 * nirik nods
17:15:06 <EvilBob> Sonar_Gal: Yes, that is a concern as is regular ops using the timed ban feature
17:15:21 <EvilBob> Sonar_Gal: I might be, it's just easier with fedbot
17:15:26 <Sonar_Gal> I don't really use the banned timed
17:15:29 <talcite> how is fedbot hosted?
17:15:38 <nirik> it's on my machines here.
17:15:41 <EvilBob> Sonar_Gal: we rarely have to ban anyone
17:15:48 <Sonar_Gal> It's easier for me to just op, ban then unban in 15 minutes
17:15:56 <neldogz_> nirik: i appologize in advance but I wont be able to make today's meeting.
17:15:59 <nirik> like I said, I will try and work out ways to distribute the config and/or grant other people access to it.
17:16:05 <talcite> ok
17:16:53 <Sonar_Gal> nirik, +1
17:18:24 <EvilBob> Anything else?
17:19:03 <EvilBob> Closing up...
17:19:06 <Sonar_Gal> not that I can think of
