#438 use botbot.me to log #atomic channel
Opened 6 years ago by miabbott. Modified 5 years ago

I think it would be useful to have an archive of conversations in #atomic that we could reference when searching for solutions to previously seen problems or the like.

This would also allow folks who might not have a persistent connection to IRC to go back and catch up on the day (or days) worth of chatter.

However, I understand that some folks might not want to have the channel or their participation logged, so we should discuss the pros/cons.


I'm +1. We'll probably need to advertize on atomic-devel list and also get @sanja to bring it up in one of the projectatomic Monday meetings too.

Everyone in the meeting today seemed to be +1 for this. Will ask the mailing list and implement change after a period of time.

I'm on board with this, good plan. +1

EDIT: After giving this some thought and since it's going to be public, maybe we can anonymise the logs? Does botbot.me allow for opt-in when it comes to logging, so that your contributions are anonymised unless you opt-in, then your name would show up?

I don't know what the features of botbot.me are. If someone wants to look into it please do!

I sent this to the mailing list so we've at least tried to spread this to a broader audience than the WG: https://lists.projectatomic.io/projectatomic-archives/atomic-devel/2018-March/msg00047.html

@dustymabe will configure botbot.me to log the channel

additionally, he'll configure the /topic of the channel to indicate that it is being logged

chatted with fedora legal and it looks like the TOS are normal and expected so we are +1. I'll make this happen later today

I made the request today.. It will take some time before it is acted upon:


Adding channels is a manual process and we prioritize logging large active channels. We do our best to get to new requests in a timely fashion, but we typically have a large backlog. It may be weeks before anyone follows up with you. Please be patient.

@dustymabe I don't really remember the final outcome of whether we are going to us botbot.me or not. In case we are going to use it, do we have any update on request you made?
