Project Updates =============== vzh: The cluedump this week is Jeff Schiller giving a talk about CouchDB. It's one of the NoSQL databases, and it's going to be at 8PM in 3-133. Next week we're going to hear from Keith about statistics at the same place. ine: The start of IAP is in 70 days, sooner than you think. I've been signing people up for talks. Dropbox people are going to come and give some talks too. If you want to give a talk zephyr or email me. achernya: Scripts is closing the last few tickets in preparation for the Fedora 15 cutover. We hope to give an announcement. It will probably be in two weeks. It's kind of hilarious, because we're probably cutting over after Fedora 16 comes out. geofft: It will be no later than drop date. geofft: Also, there are packages for Oneiric in the repository. You should test it. There are no packages for LightDM; we're going to keep using GDM, which is probably a good thing. ezyang: Will by XMonad break if I upgrade? geofft: I have no idea. If you're running standard, almost certainly not. Other ===== dwilson: If you have interest in being CokeComm, talk to me. Other Other ========== jhawk: HTTP reverse proxy tool that shares cookies for one session with multiple clients? I don't care where it sits. geofft: No, but I can suggest doing evil things with Firefox Sync and multiple profiles. Because you can store the profile in your MySQL database. bbaren: It snowed on Saturday night. This was the fourth October snowfall that Boston has had since they started keeping records. jhawk: It also snowed on Thursday. ezyang: It's Halloween! adehnert: lapentab appears to be the only person dressed up in costume. meeting adjourned at 19:36.
