So the only comment I'll put in is one that I know not everyone agrees with but might as well throw it out there.http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml (this page has a bunch of useful advice IMHO).From that; something useful to look/think over at least... """If you're considering publishing channel logs, think it through. The freenode network is an interactive environment. Even on public channels, most users don't weigh their comments with the idea that they'll be enshrined in perpetuity. For that reason, few participants publish logs.If you're publishing logs on an ongoing basis, your channel topic should reflect that fact. Be sure to provide a way for users to make comments without logging, and get permission from the channel owners before you start. If you're thinking of "anonymizing" your logs (removing information that identifies the specific users), be aware that it's difficult to do it well—replies and general context often provide identifying information which is hard to filter.If you just want to publish a single conversation, be careful to get permission from each participant. Provide as much context as you can. Avoid the temptation to publish or distribute logs without permission in order to portray someone in a bad light. The reputation you save will most likely be your own."""
(Joshua, the below is not about what you posted, I really appreciate you bringing the above into the discussion) FWIW, I kind of feel that channel logging should become an OpenStack thing and not a per-project thing. Log all openstack "official" channels, make it clear in the wiki/homepage/HoToContribute/WhateverYouWannaCallIt and move on. Nothing, absolutely nothing, prevents the above from happening right now. I've local (as in my ZNC server) logs of the last 1y 1/2 and I could just make them public. Really, IRC is basically(?) public by default and I - I know this is probably personal opinion - don't think there's a difference between a logged channel and a not logged one. If we wanted to make the channel private, we should password protect it and invite few people, make them sign a contract where they swear they won't publish logs and whatnot. Anyway, I think a good way to avoid these discussions for future projects is to simply enable logging on all openstack- channels. Cheers, Flavio

Wanted to second this as well. I'm strongly in favor of logging - looking through backlogs of chats on other channels has been very helpful to me in the past, and it sure to help others in the future. I don't think there is danger of anyone pointing to a logged IRC conversation in this context as some statement of record. -Christopher _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org <mailto:OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org> http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev -- David blog: http://www.traceback.org twitter: http://twitter.com/dstanek www: http://dstanek.com _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev_______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
