| kermit | i think that /mg was an automated mass message, i saw it in another channel with the same timestamp. | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: now I am | 00:12 |
| Takyoji | considering the new logo and themeing of Ubuntu, somewhat implies a theme change of our LoCo may be soon as well | 00:13 |
| Takyoji | of our LoCo website | 00:13 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: I liked the old logo better, but I don't care that much. | 00:13 |
| Takyoji | at the same time; there isn't a public SVG that I can find yet of the new logo | 00:14 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: I don't see a need to duplicate effort on that front - we can pull down a new theme from upstream when they revise it. | 00:15 |
| Takyoji | Are there any other federated communication/social networking protocols other than Jabber/XMPP? | 03:05 |
| kermit | Takyoji: IRC | 03:14 |
| tonyyarusso | IRC's not federated. | 03:16 |
| kermit | also bonjour | 03:17 |
| tonyyarusso | That would mean that I could do something like "/msg billybog ON oftc" and have it work while I'm only connected to Freenode. | 03:17 |
| kermit | i don't know what is meant by 'federated' in this context | 03:17 |
| tonyyarusso | Unconnected servers/users being able to communicate by the design of the protocol. | 03:18 |
| tonyyarusso | like e-mail - AOL users can send mail to GMail users. | 03:18 |
| kermit | federated means non propriatary? | 03:19 |
| tonyyarusso | And unlike AIM, where AIM users can not send messages to Yahoo users. | 03:19 |
| tonyyarusso | No. | 03:19 |
| tonyyarusso | federation is about design, not code availability/licensing. | 03:19 |
| tonyyarusso | It is frequently the case that proprietary things are non-federated and many open ones are, but that is a related result, not a necessary consequence. | 03:20 |
| kermit | is bonjour 'federated' ? | 03:21 |
| tonyyarusso | I have no idea - I've never used it. | 03:22 |
| tonyyarusso | nor read about it, or anything. | 03:22 |
| kermit | what's another example of 'federated' besides jabber? | 03:22 |
| tonyyarusso | e-mail, I just said :) | 03:22 |
| Takyoji | In terms of being decentralized, and being able to communicate between different servers. | 03:22 |
| kermit | not that i really know how jabber works | 03:22 |
| Takyoji | Well, email, yes. | 03:22 |
| tonyyarusso | also, StatusNet | 03:22 |
| kermit | usenet? | 03:23 |
| tonyyarusso | man, it's been so long since I actually used usenet... | 03:23 |
| kermit | gnutella? | 03:23 |
| kermit | it almost sounds like you're describing p2p | 03:23 |
| kermit | but, then you'd say p2p | 03:23 |
| Takyoji | I thought there was some specification that Google or some group specified in terms of a protocol that social networking services could communicate with each other. | 03:24 |
| tonyyarusso | Essentially, it uses the DNS system as the only interconnecting link between nodes rather than a top server of the service. | 03:25 |
| kermit | Takyoji: http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/ ? | 03:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: OpenMicroblogging, what StatusNet uses. | 03:25 |
| Takyoji | Ahh yes | 03:25 |
| Takyoji | OpenSocial was what I was recalling, but slightly misunderstanding | 03:26 |
| Takyoji | What would be most sane? Squid or SSH tunnelling? | 03:43 |
| Takyoji | for bypassing filters; I've been using SSH tunnelling in the past, but have been continuing to wonder about using Squid instead. | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | how amused should I be that the most active TCLUG mailing list thread in memory is about the TCLUG mailing list? | 03:56 |
| Takyoji | :P | 03:57 |
| Takyoji | YES http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/03/05/027258/Ubisofts-New-DRM-Cracked-In-One-Day | 03:59 |
