Regarding the admin privileges in pagure, I would propose to remove the admin privileges from all the members in the emea group, because it's dangerous if everyone had admin access to the issue trackers 20:45:20 I agree with this. 20:45:22 mitzie: +1 20:45:30 +1 20:45:32 makes sense 20:45:33 +1 20:45:37 +1 20:45:41 +1 yep 20:45:55 +1 20:46:01 +1 20:46:08 Although the issue trackers won't be visible anynore if you visit the emea ambassadors group page 20:46:31 If this doesn't create further issues with opening/modifying/viewing issues, I'm +1 too 20:46:55 No, everything else will remain the same 20:47:02 well, we can undo if we run into issues 20:47:09 Awesome, if you need help, please ping me :) 20:47:18 lupinix +1 20:47:49 i am not sure about that mitzie 20:48:20 are there alternative solutions to prevent 'accidents'? 20:48:21 b10n1k_: why? what issues do you expect? 20:48:44 The whole group would get commit access(practically the same access as before), they just won't be able to delete tickets or even delete the whole issue tracker 20:49:37 let s say that someone delete a ticket? can we track him down? 20:49:52 and undo ofcourse? 20:50:14 mitzie: To clarify, you mean just granting the ticket ACL to the group? 20:50:24 We can see who did it, but we can't undo the action 20:50:50 jwf, what do you mean? 20:51:46 mitzie: What do you mean to do by revoking admin access from @ambassadors-emea? Change their level of privilege / access control level or remove them from the group? 20:51:56 * remove them from the repo 20:52:08 No, change the access from admin to commit access 20:52:13 Ahhh, okay 20:52:16 I have just been added to the pagure group, and the first thing I noticed was that I could erase it 20:52:34 So technically they won't be able to do more advanced administrative stuff 20:52:36 mitzie: I might suggest filing a ticket against Pagure to request that every level of access should show up on the group page. :) 20:52:47 I imagine pingou and the Pagure team would be receptive to that 20:52:51 jwf +1 20:53:01 jwf++ 20:53:02 lupinix: Karma for jflory7 changed to 33 (for the f25 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 20:53:10 https://pagure.io/pagure/new_issue 20:53:13 That would be helpful, actually I can't understand why pagure does that 20:53:33 +1 for that 20:53:37 Whooo, another cookie! \o/ 20:53:49 jwf++ 20:55:17 eof 20:55:32 Thank you mitzie 20:55:34 ! 20:55:40 veon, yes please 20:55:51 I would just like to say thanks to robyduck for agreeing to be my mentor :-) 20:56:05 * Rhea snatches the cookie from jwf and noms it... 20:56:07 veon++ and robyduck++ :) 20:56:16 veon++ 20:56:16 lupinix: Karma for veon changed to 3 (for the f25 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 20:56:19 eof 20:56:20 robyduck++ 20:56:25 robyduck++ 20:56:36 robyduck++ 20:57:23 Is it just me or it has been a while since we had a new ambassador? :( 20:57:24 .moar cookies robyduck 20:57:24 here robyduck, have some more cookies 20:57:29 hu? 20:57:33 cookieeeessss 20:57:36 :D 20:57:59 robyduck++ 20:58:12 :) 20:58:18 thanks 20:58:26 I would like to also say that I think the meeting time changed really was in place, since we have a lot more people in the meeting now. :) 20:58:28 nmilosev: at leat in germany i cannot remember new ambassadors last months 20:58:31 *least 20:58:49 s/changed/change/ 20:59:20 If that is all, I will be ending the meeting in two minutes.
