Hi folks.
so what was the process of getting a wine/developer hostmask on freenode?
I assume whoever is able to give me a hostmask will also be able to give me ops on #winehq. We obviously need more of those. Any other takers?
We have a problem. Mike McCormack 'owns' #winehackers. And Andreas Mohr 'owns' #winehq.
You can see this with this command: /msg Chanserv info #<channel>
The owner is the only person who can add someone at a high level and can genuinely fix things.
The Channel server maintains 'levels': /msg Chanserv access #<channel> list shows current access rights and /msg Chanserv level #<channel> list shows what levels are needed.
What you need is someone with an level of 30; that is the level required to permanently make someone an op. (To temporarily op someone requires level 10).
Only Mike Hearn and Mike McCormack have level 30 on #winehackers.
On WineHQ, many more folks have level 30, including myself.
Now I had written Mike and Andreas asking them to pick someone active to turn ownership over to; neither of them replied.
I seem to recall that someone had put a petition into Freenode to fix this, but I don't know what came of that.
I'll plan on hanging out on #freenode and asking for help later on today. This is silly :-/.
Cheers,
Jeremy
