Thanks to all who came to the hackfest; I felt that we made some progress, especially on Sunday, although it's still a steady progress towards a bug-free OpenGuides rather than any major new features. By my count the stats were: - 22 tickets closed - 23 commits - 6 tickets opened I'm aware that I meant to do a release of Wiki::Toolkit and OpenGuides soon after the release; the things stopping me from doing that at the moment are: - I'd really like to get to the bottom of http://www.wiki-toolkit.org/ticket/41 before a release of Wiki::Toolkit, but so far I've been daunted by the twisty nature of the code around that point to tackle it effectively[1] - Kake asked whether we could use URI::Find instead of Data::Validate::URI; it's a possibility, although it certainly wouldn't be as strict and isn't really designed for the same purpose. All input on those issues especially welcome! All that aside, thanks again to everyone for coming, especially Oliver and Janet for being offical OUCS People In Charge. Thanks also to OUCS[2] for letting us use the meeting rooms; I think they worked well for the purpose and I hope we can do the same again. To those on the openguides-hackfest list; after I've sent this message, I'll unsubscribe you all, ready for the next occasion; please do join the openguides-dev list if you're interested in more OpenGuides development. Cheers, Dominic.

Laptops and first-aiders
by Dominic Hargreaves 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

Hello, If you're receiving this mail, it's because I think you've signed up to the OpenGuides hackfest next weekend. Just a couple of tedious administrative things, really. If you're bringing a laptop, please make sure that the power supply is tested and working with a UK supply - we don't want to have any problems with the power supply as the chances are we wouldn't be able to fix any dead ciruits, and obviously also need to minimise the risk of other electrical problems. Secondly, if any of you are qualified first-aiders, please let me know. OUCS would prefer that there are such persons on site, so it would be good if I could reassure them. Thanks, Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)
