paulproteusnathany, Don't tell anyone, but Pivotal Tracker is TOTALLY AWESOME.15:11
nathanypaulproteus: yeah. i know.15:12
paulproteus...would everyone hate us if we used it?15:12
paulproteus(-;15:12
paulproteusYou may want to consider it, too....15:12
nathanypaulproteus: priv msg?15:13
paulproteussure15:13
greg-gnkinkade1: do you know if there are any special dependencies for http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Template:Lowercase that wouldn't allow me to just steal it for the Open.Michigan wiki?15:14
greg-gie: I'm trying to use it for this page: https://open.umich.edu/wiki/DScribe15:15
greg-gI know, other project's work, just curious if you had any pointers :)15:15

*** nkinkade has quit IRC15:16
nathanygreg-g: I think that came from mediawiki initially; you might look on the mediawiki meta wiki15:17
nathanyiirc there was some knob that had to be turned to make it work15:17
nathany(i assume it isn't out of the box since you're asking)15:17
greg-gnathany: right. thanks, I'll take a look.15:18
paroneayeahullo all15:28
*** remaxim has joined #cc15:33
remaximhi15:33
greg-gnathany: couldn't find anything that mentioned changing the config file. Oh well, I'll see if nkinkade1 has any insight when he returns.15:34
remaximhey greg-g, did you get my email?15:35
greg-gremaxim: yes, but I haven't had time to respond yet15:35
remaximnp, just do it when you have some time or in the IRC15:36
paulproteusTemplate:Lowercase iirc does require a config change15:37
greg-gremaxim: actually, you will get a much better response if you email the cc-community mailing list, as some of them might have direct experience with your issue.15:37
remaximI am quite happy that I get some sophisticated help regarding this problem15:37
greg-gpaulproteus: oh?15:37
paulproteusYes, but ask #mediawiki , I've forgotten.15:37
greg-gremaxim: I will be sure to respond on the cc-community mailing list, since you just called my opinions "sophisticated" :)15:38
greg-gpaulproteus: thanks15:38
remaximsure, I ll search for the mailing list... is there a way to get responses without suscribing to the whole list?15:39
remaximI am not that experienced with mailing lists15:39
remaximOK, don't worry about that I ll just suscribe and unsuscribe later15:40

greg-git doesn't get too much traffic, really15:43
remaximI am already there, thank you15:43
remaximOK, sounds good :)15:43
greg-gno prob15:43
greg-gnathany: paulproteus I think I found it (for some reason I ended up on wikipedia's help page instead of mediawiki's manual, which was less than thorough)15:44
greg-gthanks15:44
paulproteusYay15:44
greg-ghaving Ali change it now :)15:45
greg-goh crap, he's in this channel :)15:46

greg-gnkinkade: well, not really, it isn't working right now but I got distracted and moved on to other things :)17:24
remaximgreg-g, thanks for your tip, the discussion already started in the mailing list17:26
greg-gremaxim: you're welcome, I knew they would be quicker to respond than I.17:27
remaximI didn't believe it but they actually are, thanks17:27
greg-g:)17:27
greg-gthey tend to have time during our work day hours :)17:27
remaximgreg-g, I just got a respond by Mike Linksvayer  ... I really didn't expect that17:30
remaximI probably should let you do your work and concentrate on the discussion ...17:31
*** nkinkade has quit IRC17:32
akozakremaxim: You could always reconsider your desire for NC :)17:32
mlinksvayeah everyone, get back to work. :) greg-g, nice editing w/you :)17:35
akozakgreg-g and mlinksva: were you working on that case studies problem?17:36
mlinksvaakozak: that would be work, no17:37
akozakah17:37
greg-gmlinksva: :)17:39
remaximakozak, how do you mean that? I try to convince game makers all the time, but it doesn't work with any bigger project17:41
akozakremaxim: convince them not to use NC or to use it?17:42
remaximakozak, actually to use it17:43
greg-gremaxim: I believe he meant to reconsider your desire for the use of NC with your game music.17:47
remaximgreg-g, like not to use it?17:47
greg-gbecause dropping the NC "solves" the problem (for certain values of "solve") :)17:47
greg-gright17:47
akozakyes, sorry.17:48
remaximI tried, but I don't feel like investing much time or effort if it can be used by anyone for their commercial games17:48
remaximI released some stuff without the NC, but it always made me troubles and I stopped after a while17:48
remaximto me by-sa is not much different to public domain if it comes to commercial game making ... the attribution isn't worth that much to me nor the small to no changes they make and release17:50
akozakremaxim: That's a valid sentiment... does your work end up being used commercially when you don't use NC?17:52
remaximakozak, not that I realized yet...17:53
remaximbut I think that many independent game makers and especially flash game producers are looking for free content ...17:54
remaximI think the use of not nc material in commercial games and projects will rise soon...17:56
akozakremaxim: Yes, hopefully :)17:57
remaximakozak, sure... but that is not what I want with my work17:59
akozakremaxim: Right, I'm not trying to say you need to use NC, that's totally up to you.17:59
remaximhm... you mean the other way round18:00
remaximdon't you?18:00
akozakremaxim: we just see a lot of people who exclude their work from interesting uses (for example, youir music being included in a FOSS game) because of some vague fear of commercial use.18:00
akozaknot that the fear isn't a real possibility18:01
akozakerr, yea the other way around18:01
paulproteusnathany, I've seen that in use at a friend's office (-:18:01
akozaksorry18:01
nathanypaulproteus: was it as wonderful as I suspect?18:01
remaximakozak, yeah... but I feel like I am not the only one feeling this way. and opening FOSS games could help them a lot18:02
akozakremaxim: All I'm trying to get across is that it would be a shame if your desire for NC kept your music out of the game, especially if the work never would have been used commercially anyways :)18:02
remaximakozak, but it does and I do have serious reasons for my point of view18:05
akozakremaxim: Right, I don't mean to minimize those worries.18:05
paulproteusnathany, Probably, but I didn't actually try it.18:05
paulproteusThere's also a Mac one, as you surely have seen.18:06
remaximah, OK... than I just have to agree with you... it's a shame that it keeps me from contributing ...18:06
remaximI try to find a way, but couldn't find one yet18:06
akozakremaxim: Might be worth reading this for a different perspective on NC http://freedomdefined.org/Licenses/NC18:11
remaximakozak, I ll take a look at it...18:12
remaximakozak, it is acually not one bit convincing to me ... just the old things I ve heard over and over again18:20
akozakremaxim: fair enough, I gave it a shot :)18:21
remaximsure, thanks for linking18:21
remaximwow, this guy seems to be quite some kind of fanatic who wants to proceed against people/works using the NC license ...18:25
