11:27 prologic pdurbin true; but isn't that the same regardless of the medium
11:27 prologic unless you join it?
11:27 prologic that's why I like irc logging :) and open logging
11:39 pdurbin prologic: yep, it's the same regardless of the medium
11:41 prologic so what's this transparency bit you like about Gitter?
11:41 prologic I'm confused :)
12:24 pdurbin prologic: I like Gitter's defaults. It's possible to make a private room on Gitter but if you tell someone you have a room on Gitter, the expectation is that it's public. Anyone can read the discussion without logging in. It's pretty much the only chat system like this.
19:23 prologic pdurbin and without havin to join Gitter in the first place?
19:23 pdurbin right, no need to sign up for Gitter
19:24 prologic So basically if you took eris + cadmus you'd have exactly this? Say you taught eris to make cadmus join every public channel by default
19:24 pdurbin the chat logs are simply public
19:24 prologic unless explicitly disabled per channel (private)
19:24 prologic This could be something I get get onboard with actually
19:24 pdurbin sure, or freenode+philbot
19:25 prologic Teach cadmus to respect the +p (private) channel mode
19:25 prologic When on; it leaves, when off it joins and logs away
19:25 pdurbin sure but it's not the software that's so important, it's the culture and norms of the network
19:26 prologic actually it is
19:26 prologic because the software is what makes it easy
19:26 prologic if the software makes this the default its easy to adopt and build a culture around it
19:26 prologic that's why you like Gitter :)
19:27 pdurbin touche
19:27 prologic Cultures are hard to create, but if they are the default, they are easy to adopt.
19:27 pdurbin yeah
19:29 pdurbin But you wouldn't want to call the software "eris+cadmus+config". You'd want to give the whole thing a name. "Install X to get transparent chat for open source projects."
19:29 prologic Oh I agree
19:30 prologic You'd actually just do what Gitter did
19:30 prologic and provide it as a SaaS platform
19:30 prologic doesn't matter of the underlying componnets
19:31 prologic Slap Dispatch in too for good measure and Bob's ya Uncle :)
19:31 prologic https://chat.mills.io/irc.mills.io/%23lobby
19:31 * prologic IRC will never die for me :) -- Just has to have the right mindset, software and configs
19:32 pdurbin :)
19:33 prologic So... If that's what you want out of IRC
19:33 prologic I'll stand up such a platform
19:33 pdurbin :)
19:33 prologic come up with a good name, we'll get a domain, I'll finish some important software changes that are necessary and boom :)
19:33 prologic Our own Gitter
19:34 prologic I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is :)
19:34 prologic s/money/time
19:34 pdurbin I do want it to be compatible with IRC at least. It doesn't necessarily have to be built on top of an IRC implementation.
19:35 prologic Most are :)
19:35 prologic But I digress!
19:35 prologic are or were
