The IRCC is now taking applications for a number of new operator
positions in the #lubuntu channel.
So if you’re active on our IRC channels and you are available, and if
you’ve been aching to help, you should consider applying! You might get
your chance if:
* You are great at resolving conflicts
* You are very patient. Superhuman nerve control is a basic IRC
operator feature
* You can take criticism
* You are happy when helping and advising others
* In addition to the Code of Conduct
<http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct> and our IRC Guidelines
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines>, you are happy to also
adhere to the Leadership Code of Conduct
<http://www.ubuntu.com/community/leadership-conduct> and the
Operator Guidelines
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorGuidelines> :)
In general, please do not consider becoming an operator because it could
be “fun”. It is not, it’s hard work. However, it is often quite
rewarding, and you get to operate with a great team of people. You don’t
need to be an IRC guru, but you do need to know enough to be able to
learn more.
Please be aware that *many* applicants will not become operators for
various reasons. This will not necessarily be because we think you would
make a bad operator. Only a limited number of operators are ever needed,
some timezones are better covered already than others, and so on.
IMPORTANT: Please follow the application process
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorRequirements> and
additionally note your available times on your wiki page. Having your
wiki page listed on your LP page is also useful to aid us in finding
your information.
We look forward to your applications!
