What the IRCC is up to
As you may know, the IRC Council recently appointed 3 new members, including myself 
So, what are the council up to?
At the moment we are working on importing the access lists for the core Ubuntu IRC channels into Launchpad. Why are we doing this? Well, we plan on managing the access lists for the channels from Launchpad teams. This will mean than the access lists should always be up-to-date with active operators and allows us to create a set of “core ops”, which will have operator status in all our core channels.
We have made good progress on this and are are practically ready to automatically import the access list into Launchpad. Part of the reason behind doing this is to remove inactive operators from the access lists. The way we plan on doing this is to create a set of operator requirements which all operators will need to agree and adhere to. This will make sure all operators know what is required of them and allow us to see who are active operators and who aren’t.
The next IRCC meeting will take place on Sunday 31 January 18:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting, the agenda is here, all are welcome to join in.
