mecredis__JED3: when do most accounts renew?16:31
JED3hey, mid october16:31
mecredis__hrm ok16:32
mecredis__so I'm trying to model16:32
*** akozak has joined #cc16:32
mecredis__what our churn will be like16:32
mecredis__and I can't figure out if its better to do a certain percentage per month16:32
mecredis__or if we should just assume a big percentage16:32
mecredis__that don't in october16:32
mecredis__any thoughts?16:34
JED3certain percentage per month that are renewing?16:35
mecredis__or rather, which aren't16:35
mecredis__right now my model only projects cash from new users16:36
mecredis__so this may not be an issue16:36
JED3hmm okay16:37
mecredis__and we actually don't know16:37
mecredis__how many people are going to renew16:37
mecredis__I guess what I'm trying to figure out his what premium users are going to stay on16:37
mecredis__because that affects the base # which is multiplied by new user growth16:38
JED3one way to estimate that would be to peek at the logs and see how distributed the activity is16:38
mecredis__distributed between what?16:38
*** nathany has joined #cc16:38
JED3profile views16:39
JED3we can also look at the login dates for users16:39
mecredis__right16:39
mecredis__to get af eeling for how active they are?16:39
JED3yes16:39
mecredis__yeah, active users is really more useful than current16:39
mecredis__totals16:39
mecredis__well I don't want toa dd more work for you16:39
mecredis__so only if its convenient16:42
mecredis__sorry, was just poking this spreadsheet some more16:42
JED3well I can get you a csv of the data, you want to add another spreadsheet to your project?16:42
mecredis__that'd be great16:42
JED3okay, working on it now16:43
*** Bovinity has joined #cc16:52
JED3hey nkinkade you around?16:58
nkinkadeJED3: Yeah.17:12
JED3hey, I was trying to change some privileges for the commoner user on a9, but I don't know the root password for mysql17:12
JED3mysql privs*17:12
JED3actually I wont need to change the privilege at all if I have to root login17:13
JED3... I wanted to change the file_priv for commoner so I could easily dump a query into a file as csv17:14

wendall911I work for a company that is going to be releasing our educational course content under a cc license ... no problems with the license, but we want/need to restrict redistribution of the layouts. We spend most of our company income on content presentation and creation. As educational content, we feel it should be free, but the presentation layer is expensive to maintain. Suggestions on how to do this? Or problems?17:37
nkinkadewendall911: What do you mean by "layout?"17:41
wendall911the presentation layer17:42
wendall911like margins, font face, etc17:43
wendall911we license some of this stuff, and can't just give permission to redistribute anyhow17:43
JED3is your "presentation layer" webpage markup?17:44
wendall911some of it, some is flash17:44
wendall911some content is in the form of a PDF17:45
wendall911text and graphics are fine ... redistributing presentation isn't17:45
wendall911mostly, I don't think we can grant that permission if we wanted17:46
JED3wendall911: have you read our FAQ's, particularly http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#If_I_use_a_Creative_Commons-licensed_work_with_other_works.2C_do_I_have_to_Creative_Commons_license_everything_else_as_well.3F17:46
*** kreynen has quit IRC17:47
*** kreynen has joined #cc17:47
wendall911JED3: I have ... I can define the source code as a separate element from the work then?17:48
JED3yes17:48
wendall911ok, that makes perfect sense17:48
wendall911creating a document that explains clearly is another problem though17:49
wendall911JED3: the problem I have with the cc wording is that it uses the word format liberally17:50
wendall911format == html layout elements in my world17:50
wendall911raw text == raw text17:50
wendall911I suppose I can specify the raw text and graphics17:50
wendall911JED3: so I just asked in a couple other places ... the way people read the licenses is that the file format is covered under the CC license. I thought not. So can I not distribute cc content in a word doc for example? Is it required that the text formatting and font faces be licensed? The "everything else" in the faq doesn't address formatting, which is certainly separate from the textual content. Or can we just tack on a clause that18:10
akozakBovinity: Have you had a chance to look at the banner I sent? Any thoughts on the overall idea?18:14
JED3wendall911: if you release the content and have applied rules that format your text then you do not have to license the files that control your  presentation18:17
Bovinityakozak: yeah, one sec, i'll have something for you18:18
wendall911JED3: that would imply that I need to separate the text content from the presentation files, correct? Or can I give license to liberally cut/paste as you see fit.18:19
*** gouchi has joined #cc18:19
JED3wendall911: can you be more specific about your work?18:19
akozakBovinity: ok, thanks18:19
wendall911If I format a word doc for example, or a pdf, which we have, and we use a non-free font. We cannot grant, nor give permission to redistribute the font.18:20
wendall911the way the licenses are worded, we would need to own the font18:20
wendall911unless I'm misreading the entire thing, but nothing is specified18:21
*** everton137 has quit IRC18:25
JED3wendall911: if you are using a nonfree font, as long as the font is not packaged in your work you are not technically redistributing it18:26
nathanynkinkade: I'm going to be working on the staging license chooser a bit; just FYI18:27
JED3nkinkade am I correct?18:27
nkinkadenathany: Thanks.18:27
nkinkadeI've spent the last few hours bug hunting in CiviCRM.  I'm filing a bug as we speak.18:27
wendall911JED3: we'll be redistributing the non-free fonts ... we'll have language to cover these extras ... Do I need to specify that the non-free components are not part of the CC covered materials? Or is this inherent?18:28
wendall911I think having a section that defines the "work" would be important18:28
JED3you will need to abide by the copyrights of the fonts, ensure that you are complying with the terms of those works.  I think now would be a nice time to mention that IANAL18:31
wendall911JED3: understood :)18:32
wendall911JED3: we are releasing our content, no question ... just want to make sure we don't step on toes of others who have non-free licenses18:32
nathanynkinkade: great18:32
nathanycan i ask you a varnish question?18:33
wendall911JED3: thanks for the help18:33
