Ubuntu, Fedora, +OpenSuse, FSF, Wikipedia, (and of course Freenode,) but also many other +projects that have their channels on Freenode have IRC cloaks for their +project. Mageia still lacks this. I wonder why that is? Is the Mageia +organisation properly registered with Freenode yet? + +I think that Mageia IRC cloaks would be a great way to promote Mageia +when people with a cloak join other channels on the network and show +people their cloak. + +I think Mandriva still has IRC cloaks. + +In the case of Ubuntu, people become community members, if they have +made a significant and sustained contribution to the project, and then +one of the things that they get is a IRC cloak whilst they are a +community member. For more info: <A HREF="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership</A> + +It depends on the project and why, who gets a IRC cloak and email address. + +Who gets a IRC cloak and @mageia.org email address and why, is something +that I think should be discussed and sorted out as a project. + +People with IRC cloaks are also likely to have a @ the project email +address, depending on the project and how things are done. I have +noticed with Mageia that certain people have @mageia.org email addresses +already, but it seems to me, that they also tend to be packagers. + +As a community I think we should discuss rules for getting and keeping a +Mageia IRC cloak and @mageia.org email address. + +Sometimes people decide not to have a project IRC cloak or email +address, when they would be entitled to them. Some people have a IRC +cloak that also mentions another project that they are contributing to. + +I think that Mageia IRC cloaks and email addresses should only be given +to people who are contributing quite lot to Mageia or trying to, for +example to a official team. There are many ways that I think people who +are contributing to the Mageia community should be able to receive a +cloak and email address. For example someone could help with the Magiea +community a lot on IRC or the forum via end user support or helping to +build up IRC channels such as #mageia-social and then helping to keep +people interested in the Mageia community using this channel. People +could also start local communities for Mageia. + +Oliver Burger (obgr_seneca) took part in a talk at FOSDEM 2012 ( +<A HREF="http://blog.mageia.org/en/2012/02/19/mageia-at-fosdem-2012/">http://blog.mageia.org/en/2012/02/19/mageia-at-fosdem-2012/</A> ) with +people who were representing other distributions about local +communities, and I highly recommend that you watch the video, if you +didn't see the talk already in person or via video. +<A HREF="http://video.fosdem.org/2012/crossdistro/Working_with_contributor_communities__round_table_.webm">http://video.fosdem.org/2012/crossdistro/Working_with_contributor_communities__round_table_.webm</A> + +With enough people hopefully in the future, I would like to start a +local community for the UK, and I registered the #mageia-uk IRC channel +very soon after the September 18th 2010 announcement of Mageia. Local +communities are meant to have events for Mageia, for example they could +have a release party soon after a new Mageia release. + + From Sebastian sebsebseb +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000529.html">[Mageia-marketing] [Mageia-artwork] Apologies +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000531.html">[Mageia-marketing] Fwd: [Mageia-artwork] [Mageia-Artwork] Meeting tonight +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#530">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#530">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#530">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#530">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
