XSF Discussion - 2012-01-07

argh. I have the most awesome mail in the summit mailinglist queue, awaiting approval.

(it is slightly over the maximum size limit)

Is what you mean "Please, oh wonderous Kevin, release my mail"?

Because I think I can do that.

Kev: yes, please

Mailman needs an "Accept mail, but give Ralph a slap on the wrist for making it too large" option :)

It has a crucial image in one of the attached e-mails

This seems to be taking quite some time to make it to my inbox.

Kev: I have it in my now. Thanks

(my inbox)

I don't think you're the one that needs it :)

True

Kev: cool, huh?

I have no idea - still not got it.

maybe it is in your spam folder :-)

Newp, already checked :)

It's possible that site5 have decided to reject it, on its way through to gmail.

I really need to get kismith.co.uk off site5.

:-(

I can send it to you directly

http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/summit/2012-January/000820.html

Unfortunately, that still doesn't let me view the attachments.

Could you forward it to mail address that matches my JID, please? That'll bypass all my normal mail stuff, so should get through.

Fab, thanks.

sent

Uhm.

Sure that was the right mail?

I just received a forward of one of my mails :)

oh hah

retry

Much better, thanks :)

cool

Ok, so, now that we've worked around site5's braindamage...yes, that's absolutely awesome.

hehe

Now we have to find cool stuff to fill that with.

right

hi guys

sorry, was out

what's up?

Seems we've got our realtime lounge :)

ooh, awesome

admin: check your e-mail

Unless your provider's hopeless. *grumble*

(in the summit list)

ooh, awesome!

So I guess we need to get some beanbags

yup

Ikea has them for €29

no idea where we can rent some

and some kind of screens we could show some kind back channel, maybe not unlike the stuff I made at Mediamatic

I'm trying to get that code released

Dave has a projector that I imagine he'll want to be taking.

I don't know if we could use it for that.

loungerent maybe

admin: but it might actually be cheaper to buy them

How many do we want? This doesn't sound like a lot of money.

Difficult decisions. If I migrate away from my current site5+gmail combo because site5 seem to suck, do I go completely selfhosted, or just selfhost postgres to forward to gmail the way I have site5 currently doing? Tricky.

Postgres?

Postfix :)

Kev: site5 is a good..Whats the problem with it?

I've had a few problems over the years. Them breaking sites and things.

The current issue is that their mail system is really quite daft and will reject any forwarded emails.

Oh

Kev: don't Google Apps - Gmal solve your problem?

Gmail*

I don't wish to use Google Apps.

My question was, regardless, rhetorical.

I used to hanlde my domain's mail via Google Apps for Business for quite a long time. Very simple setup, spam filters and management

Kev: you can setup an e-mail collector on your Gmail account instead of forwarding with site5

Sure, but a) That means giving passwords to gmail and b) I don't see that it achieves anything.

Kev: why would you mind giving passwords to gmail when you prefer it? assuming you forward from site5 not just to have a copy

This is somewhat of a lesser issue to it not solving the problem :)

brb..Good night all
