It will be dealt with later this week. jhawk: IS&T map fell off the board, I moved it into the office. Someone should do something about it. Project Updates =============== vehanus: Cluedumps are still happening! keegan will be giving his cluedump tomorrow about why we should learn Haskell. keegan: Hello, I'm Keegan, some of you know me on zephyr. vehanus: Tomorrow at 8PM, same room as always. 2-143 dwilson: The following cluedump is Debathena. ine: IAP is exactly nine weeks away. I'm Isaac, please zephyr me if you're interested in doing a new talk, or a talk you did last year. [kaduk: Zephyr preferred over email?] Yes. achernya: I feel obligated to say that Scripts exhibits really strange performance problems, but we don't know what. I think it's Xen 4. We notice that a server has really high load, but it stays in the pool. The CPU is pegged on AFS, but we've gotten nowhere debugging this, since there are debugging tools missing in the official RPMs. We are going to press forward with the ugprade as soon as possible. [dwilson: When will it happen?] ezyang: TONIGHT! achernya: But we're not ready! End of month. Other ===== adehnert: If you've worked in any project with a bunch of MIT students, and you noticed that there are some people on GTalk who aren't on zephyr, I wrote a Jabber-Zephyr BarnOwl message bridge. It's on GitHub at adehnert. If you find bugs, let me know; if you use it, let me know, I'm curious. Other Other ========== tibbetts: I spammed sipb-jobs, but my company Streambase is hiring. Looking for people hiring in the Spring. We do PL design, compilers, and Eclipse (IDE). ezyang: Kinect bad ideas! Let's do realtime detection of who's walking in and out of the office! [jhawk: I would like to remind people that SIPB does care about privacy.] [achernya: Would number of people violate this?] [bbaren: Let's talk about this offline.] meeting adjourned at 19:35. Minutes taken and submitted by ezyang.
