 well, and threw lots of errors ... we'll probably be repasting all the 
 sections from the wiki, a brute force 1+ hour instead of trying to solve it first ..
20:16:45  lol
20:16:49  quaid: it should let you lobotomize zodbot now, as long as you /msg zodbot identify username password first
20:16:51  *sigh*
20:16:53  but otherwise it made good stuff
20:17:00  well good!
20:17:00  nb_: thanks!
20:17:04  quaid: you're welcome
20:17:08 * ianweller praises stickster's work for getting mwlib working again
20:18:04  the fun part is going to be getting it up to date with upstream -- it requires python-timelib which is not in fedora because it's almost impossible to package under current guidelines
20:19:15  ctyler: trying svn:// seems to just hang
21:42:38  bleah, my talk got rejected from OSCON
21:42:41  mchua_afk: ^
21:52:27  quaid: svn against http://teachingopensource.org/repos/textbook   ?
21:54:01  that server uses WebDAV (http://) instead of SVN (svn://)
21:56:57  checkout is anonymous, commit uses the pw
21:57:07 * ctyler checks in README.txt to test
21:58:52  shoot, permission issue. fixed.
22:00:24  http://www.oscon.com/oscon2010/public/schedule/detail/13174 sounds cool: "Ingex is an open source product, built on FFmpeg and Linux and running on commodity hardware, which can replace tens of thousands of dollars worth of broadcast equipment in TV studios, developed by BBC R&D. We discuss the change management, commercial and ecosystem issues we have faced in getting Ingex used by the broadcasting industry, generally unawar
22:00:24  the benefits of open source."
22:00:33  yay!
22:00:51 * quaid has been using local 'cp source source-003' version control for the last little bit :)
22:03:39  success!
22:20:39  ok, raw XML is committed
22:20:46 * quaid been holding local commts
22:37:30  note to channel - if I get eaten by a raptor tonight, tell gregdek to look at the wiki sprint page + svn to get up to speed.
22:37:52  noted.
22:38:43  my next goal is a commit that I'll tag "RAPTOR_BUILDS" to indicate that it builds in case I get bumped off by a clever troupe
22:39:29 * ianweller is appropriately wearing his one velociraptor per child shirt
22:39:49  yay!
22:40:17  and i'm trying to see if i just got into BU but so is everyone else and their server load is through the roof
22:42:02  heh
22:42:51  what the worst thing in the world would be is if i get into BU with that full ride scholarship
22:43:12  i'm pretty much set on KU and that knowledge would totally screw with me for the rest of my life
23:08:57  ok, time for me to go off for the evening and I want to send status to the list ...
