[2014-03-12 22:49:27] <andre__> mentioning "no closed channels" is funny when 
hiding discussions and work in ##maemo-admin...
[2014-03-12 22:55:53] <DocScrutinizer05> ##maemo-admin is THE channel for ALL 
techstaff to communicate *in the open* of techstaff crew
[2014-03-12 22:56:33] <DocScrutinizer05> not only techstaff but even council 
and yes even HiFo
[2014-03-12 22:57:35] <DocScrutinizer05> you can't expect security threats 
getting discussed and defeated in #maemo, eh?
[2014-03-12 22:58:13] <DocScrutinizer05> we even have community visitors 
there, e.g. Pali
[2014-03-12 22:58:56] <DocScrutinizer05> techstaff at maemo.org is an alternative 
"open" channel which you refused to deal with. A pity
[2014-03-12 22:59:47] <DocScrutinizer05> anyway, when you got criticism, I 
hope you also have suggestions. Come up with them! how to do it better? I'm 
listening
[2014-03-12 23:00:15] <andre__> if there was something secret to discuss, 
sure.
[2014-03-12 23:00:20] <andre__> I gave up joining ##maemo-admin - too much 
hassle (access restriction) to set up.
[2014-03-12 23:00:54] <andre__> I didn't "refuse to deal with". I asked to 
unsubscribe me because 0 emails were interesting to me.
[2014-03-12 23:00:58] <DocScrutinizer05> ok, thanks for this helpful 
contribution
[2014-03-12 23:01:09] <andre__> You're welcome. Always happy to remind of more 
openness.
[2014-03-12 23:01:11] <DocScrutinizer05> afk
[2014-03-12 23:02:02] <andre__> I wonder how many "security threads" were 
actually discussed. And how much stuff in private that could have easily been 
in public. But that's the normal problem with closed channels...
[2014-03-12 23:02:47] <DocScrutinizer05> you should know that every single IP 
of a user, every single email alias or address is stuff that mustn't get 
disclosed to the public
[2014-03-12 23:03:19] <DocScrutinizer05> thus admin channels are not public
[2014-03-12 23:05:27] <DocScrutinizer05> anyway since you refer to something I 
posted where I referred to how HiFo handled stuff in an unacceptable 
intolerable way: I wouldn't have had any objections when HiFo had discussed 
new backup server in #maemo. I would have been happy to see it getting 
discussed here
[2014-03-12 23:05:35] <DocScrutinizer05> now afk for good
