mattcoophi all, I have a quick question about a user-generated content site.  my client is soliciting blog posts and short messages from users, and they want to ensure that they can reuse the content.  we are recommending that they specify a cc license that will automatically be applied to all submissions.  do you have any examples of sites that have done something similar?  thanks.06:29

mecredisparoneayea: non-PST ftw14:05
paroneayeamecredis: heh :)14:06
greg-gindeed, I feel like an early riser even though I sleep in until 8am14:06
paroneayeaI've been up for hours, but it's been good... I've been checking things off my todo lists14:06
mecredisyeah. its definitely one of those mondays14:06
mecredislate august14:07
mecrediseverything else feels slow14:07
greg-gindeed, just got back from a backpacking trip and today feels a tad slow14:07
mecredisheh http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/15411#comment-23350914:11
greg-gwow, Mike was taking some heat on that post14:19
mecredisyeah, the anti-wikipedia camp dug in14:19
greg-gapparently14:20
*** gimmulf has quit IRC14:23
mecredisthis is interesting14:23
mecredishttp://www.thecosmonaut.org/14:23
paroneayeaoh neat14:23
mecredisyeah, not sure what stage they're at14:24
paroneayeaspeaking of neat, highly-editable movies14:24
paroneayeaI'm so stoked about Project Durian14:24
mecredisI'm actually consistently surprised how many people are trying this format14:24
*** gimmulf has joined #cc14:24
paroneayeaand requires evil flash unless you use a downloading tool, but: http://vimeo.com/614360714:25
paroneayeathey've got a really solid set of artists on this one14:25
mecredisheh, kind of like you suck at photoshop for gimp14:26
mecredisand no attitude14:26
paroneayeayeah, that guy's the concept artist for Durian14:26
paroneayea<3 Blender Foundation / Blender Institute14:27
paroneayeaIt doesn't take much to tell I'm kind of a blender fanboy though.14:27
paroneayeawhen I taught classes on the GIMP at this community center thingy, I was trying to teach kids there how free and open source software development works... the Blender Open Movies actually was the one thing that really drove it home for them14:27
paroneayeaI showed them the movies, then opened up the files in blender and messed with the characters14:28
mecredisyeah, its pretty difficult for non-developers to wrap their heads around what source code is14:28
paroneayeaand explained the blender files are kind of like source code for software14:28
paroneayeayeah14:28
mecredislet alone why open source is important14:28
paroneayeait really helped them understand those ideas14:28
paroneayeayeah14:29
paroneayeathat's why I'm such a huge fan of Blender, I think.  It's one of those few communities that's managed to bridge free software and free culture in a very serious way14:29
mecredisyeah, i think that's true14:29
mecredisblender's learning curve is pretty brutal though14:29
paroneayeaI mean, other tools have that too I suppose, like the GIMP and such, but there aren't the same kind of communities and active artists the way there is with blender14:29
paroneayeayeah that's certainly true14:30
paroneayeathough that's true for any 3d app14:30
mecredisits interesting that more people don't talk about Wikipedia page source being similar to uncompiled source14:30
paroneayeathe 2.5 UI overhaul should make it a lot better14:30
mecredispeople unseriously say wikipedia is open soruce14:30
paroneayeayeah that's true14:30
mecredisbut they don't really get what wikimarkup is14:30
mecredisand think that wikipedia = content14:30
mecredisbut really, take at any remotely sophisticalted article14:31
paroneayeawikipedia is the one place where non-developers interact with diffing and revision control :)14:31
mecredisand the markup behind it14:31
mecredisright!14:31
mecredis I mean some people know the history behind that14:31
mecredisbut the amount of sophisticated undersatnding wikipedia editors have of media version control14:31
mecredisis staggering14:31
mecredisanyway, just saying it might be useful14:32
mecredisto show source14:32
mecredison a page like [[France]]14:32
paroneayeayeah14:32
mecredisand then explain all the decisions that go on behind that14:32
mecredisthat aren't content14:32
mecredisI'm teaching a class this semester14:32
paroneayeaoh yeah, what on?14:33
mecredisand going to have 2-3 days on Wikipedia14:33
mecredisfirst day is content14:33
mecredissecond day is structure14:33
mecredisand 3rd day is going to be a discussion14:33
paroneayeaanother thing about using blender showing .blends as source code and images/videos as binaries:14:33
paroneayeathe "rendering" step is very similar to compiling14:33
mecredishttp://fredbenenson.com/blog/?p=596&preview=true14:33
mecredis^^ thats my class, etc.14:33
paroneayeaoh cool14:34
mecredisalmost done with the syllabus14:34
mecredisanyway, one assignment is going to be write an article about a wikipedia article14:34
mecredisand detail its history14:34
mecredisI'm going to pre-select a number of articles that have really juicy stories behind them14:34
mecredislike [[Muhammed]]14:34
mecredisthis ivdieo is awesome btw14:37
mecredismind if I microblog to @creativecommons and HT @cwebber?14:38
mecredis;)14:38
paroneayeaHT?14:41
mecredishat tip14:41
mecredisheh14:41
mecredisindirect RT14:42
paroneayeaoh sure :)14:42

paroneayeahm14:47
paroneayeahttp://twitter.com/cwebber is probably confused14:47
paroneayea:)14:47

paroneayeahttp://identi.ca/cwebber14:48
mecredis ahaha14:48
paroneayeapoor guy gets naming conflicts from me all the time14:48
mecredishahahah14:48
mecredisI was going to say14:48
mecredisit didn't really add up14:48
mecrediswell at least http://identi.ca/notice/8744592 makes sense14:48
paroneayeayep14:49
mecredisoh well I'll remember that14:49
paroneayeahttp://twitter.com/cwebber/status/185041403314:49
paroneayea:)14:49
mecredispoor guy14:49
mecredishaha14:50
paroneayeafigured out this frustrating bug wasn't my code, in zpt.chameleon instead15:09
paroneayeasometimes when that happens I'm not sure whether to feel relieved or more frustrated15:09
paroneayea(when that happens with bugs in dependencies in general)15:10
mecredisyeah, finding other peoples bugs when programming is always a weird experience15:13

akozakjibot?!15:56
akozaknkinkade: This is really weird, I'm getting a permission denied error trying to do some discovered stuff, even when I use sudo.16:15
nkinkadecheck the permissions of the files you are working on.16:16
akozakI thought it didn't matter if I was su16:17
nkinkadeIt matters.16:20
akozaknkinkade: yea nathany is the owner of most of the stuff in here16:21
nkinkadeakozak: I would leave nathany as the owner unless he tells you otherwise.16:21
akozakI'm starting to notice a lot of permission denieds doing other routine stuff, but it looks like it's mostly log write stuff16:21
nkinkadeOr unless you know better.16:21
akozakyea16:21
akozakok I can't even build the index, I'll just wait for nathany to get in16:25
nkinkadeBut regarding the earlier statement, permissions can matter under some circumstances, even for root.16:27
akozakInteresting. I had always thought being root overrode whatever permissions there are.16:28
nkinkadeFor example:16:28
nkinkade$ touch test16:28
nkinkade$ chmod 000 test16:28
nkinkade$ sudo vi test16:28
nkinkadeSee what happens.16:28
akozakinteresting16:29
akozakmakes sense, but still inconvenient to me right now :)16:32

paroneayeagod damn16:39
paroneayeaI am diving much deeper into chameleon's source code to debug this than I expected I'd have to16:39
paroneayeasomehow some context stuff is not being passed in to the template when internationzlisation is enabled16:43
paroneayeabut since it compiles the template to a python file I'm trying to read the serialization code16:43
* paroneayea wonders if he is wasting time :\16:43

pyraknkinkade, ping?22:04
nkinkadepyrak: Hi.22:04
nkinkadeWhere are you these days?22:04
pyraknkinkade, los angeles22:04
pyrakNRY was crazy enough to ask me to do some more stuff over the next couple weeks22:04
nkinkadeHas craziness ensued?22:05
pyraki want to make a staging instance of acawiki on a8, and...22:05
pyraki guess bottom line: i want to clone something on a8.  is it wise to copy/paste my ssh keys from my local machine to my home dir on a8?22:06
pyrakby "clone something on a8" i mean "clone something in our git repo, into my home dir on 18"22:06
pyraka8*22:06
nkinkadepyrak: I don't see a problem with it as long as you copy them over a secure channel.22:06
pyraknkinkade, just out of curiousity, do people often keep the same key pair across all or most of the machines they operate?22:07
nkinkadepyrak: By the way, when will the new search launch?22:07
pyraknkinkade, perhaps now, while i wait for files to download22:08
nkinkadepyrak: I don't usually, but I'm not sure there is a problem with it as long as they are moved from place to place securely.22:08
nkinkadeBut one thing that comes to mind is the phrase: single point of failure.22:08
nkinkadeSomething doesn't feel right about doing it that way, just like something doesn't feel right about OpenID for many applications.22:08
nkinkadeThe idea being that if someone somehow got your key pair, then may then have instant access to all sorts of things.22:10
nkinkadeSo how secure is each machine you keep your keys on.22:10
pyrakhm, okay22:10
nkinkadeLikewise with OpenID ... put too many things under protection of your OpenID and all someone needs to do is get hold of your password and suddenly every single thing protected by your OpenID is wide open to them.22:11
nkinkadepyrak: That said, I don't see a problem with you copying your keys to a8.22:11
pyrakokay, thanks22:12
