In-Reply-To: References: <54A5FA6A.5030903@home.org.au> Message-ID: the Sunday registration, is really an extra thing, to try and get people registered early and save time. So rego usually only opens for a short period of time on the late Sunday afternoon, as they are doing last minute preparations Probably by about Friday they will have the Sunday registration time set. Keep your eye on the website and social media as they will send the updates/status announcements. So if you arrive late or at night, you will probably have to register Monday morning On Fri, Jan 2, 2015 at 10:19 AM, George Patterson < george.patterson at gmail.com> wrote: > For those that haven't, please add yourself to the arrival and departure > wiki page as it does make it easier planning purposes.

So in theory pretty much everyone staying in Carlaw Park is going to need to add their name to the list... and presumably plan on calling the (listed on that page) after hours number. Possibly at least Sunday afternoon it might be easiest to assume that people will be arriving reasonably steadily between 1pm and say 6pm, with some others later on? (The page already has arrival times from 3pm onwards listed.) > Also the rego will be open the next morning if it is closed on Sunday. FWIW, having "registered on the first day" (rather than the day before/Sunday) for a few conferences recently, the process is generally pretty quick these days because (a) the bugs in the registration process have been ironed out the day before, and (b) a substantial portion of people have already registered so the queues are shorter. IIRC when I registered on Monday morning for LCA2014 there were 1-2 people in the queue in front of me, and the whole process took less than 5 minutes. Probably best not to leave it until the last minute. But if you register at say 8:15 or 8:30 in the morning you'll probably still make the queue for the keynote with time to catch up with people in the queue before they open the doors.

I seem to recall I put my name down for the OH thing at LCA Registration time, I'm fairly certain I'm all signed up for the OpenRadio one because of a convo I've had with Kim. But I have no idea what's going on with the OH miniconf (looking at the registration form, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1FrQVsCqmFpgjmMW6Iy6CBjxXR4AjOglRZJpK-uczjIM/viewform?usp=send_form - it seems familiar but I cannot guarantee that's because I filled it in on a whisky night or because many google forms begin to look like each other after a while) It'd be absolutely fantastic if the organisers of BOTH OH & OR can e-mail those who they see as having registered so we can go out and actually get the tools needed. Ideally, this'd involve a crosscheck with people who indicated at registration some interest, but who the miniconf organisers haven't heard from. I note that Mr Oxer said just before Christmas he was doing this all manually[1], so don't get me wrong I do appreciate the time and effort involved. I'm even starting to suspect that there's a possibility that I was sent email for payment, however it's been eaten by greylist. Or that I lost the email to me in my Great Inbox 0 Incident of December 26th 2014 (I've just emailed Jon off list requesting status info) tl;dr - I'm going to be somewhat annoyed if I splurge cash on tools, bring them over, only to discover I've fallen out of the system somehow and there are absolutely no spaces left. I suspect one of the last things LCA organisers (or for that matter NZ's famed SIS and GCSB) want are roving bands of bored frustrated geeks carrying soldering irons, cutters and screwdrivers ;) Cheers, Pete.

Medication If you have prescription medication you need to bring with you, you need to declare it in your passenger arrival card and do the following: http://www.customs.govt.nz/questions/Pages/default.aspx?q=65&s=65 Source: http://www.customs.govt.nz/features/prohibited/imports/Pages/default.aspx?q=8&s=8 Personal imports (accompanying a traveller) If you arrive in New Zealand carrying prescription medicine on your person or in your luggage you may only bring it in if you: - Declare the medicine on your Passenger Arrival Card . - Have a copy of the medicine?s prescription or a letter from your doctor stating that you are being treated with the medicine. - Have the medicine in its original pharmacy container, with your name on the label, and strength and dosage details clearly stated. - Have no more than three months supply (oral contraceptives, where a six month supply is permitted, are the exception). I had a letter with me along with my prescriptions and had no problems getting into in Dec 2013 Perth or back to Auckland in Jan 2014. Someone told me they have a new joint (knee or hip?) that would set off the machines when they walk through. So they have a card/letter from the doctor when they travel. I think Australians are given a credit card sized card from the surgeon stating they have joint replacement. b. Biosecurity + customs Similar to Australia there's strict biosecurity rules. It is quite stringent and include things like * declaring all food, plant, animals and products made from those etc * need to scrub mud/dirt off your shoes, tramping boots, bicycle, golf clubs, recreation, hunting and sporting equipment. Rather than try to list them all, here's the pages you need to read. Please take it seriously. You may end up being fined if you breach these or at best they charge you for cleaning, disposing or treating the items you wish to bring in. * Quarantine procedures http://www.customs.govt.nz/inprivate/onyourarrival/quarantine/Pages/default.aspx * Items to declare: http://mpi.govt.nz/travel-and-recreation/arriving-in-new-zealand/items-to-declare/ * Prohibited imports http://www.customs.govt.nz/features/prohibited/imports/Pages/default.aspx?q=8&s=8 * Prohibited exports http://www.customs.govt.nz/features/prohibited/exports/Pages/default.aspx * NZ Customs Service's FAQ http://www.customs.govt.nz/questions/Pages/default.aspx?q=65&s=65 Safe travels Regards lin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The mini-DebConf will most likely be in the same building, I've just chased their facilities people up (again).

Yes, this is a slight gotcha with 2degrees (well, at least, it got me). If you go outside of the CBD, and you failover to Vodafone coverage, your phone believes it is roaming (because, well, it is). By default most phones default to disabling data while roaming, meaning your data mysteriously disappears when you lose native 2degrees coverage. Easy solution: enable data roaming. It doesn?t cost you any extra.

So if you can organise a group together to drop off at a single location you will end up with a lower per person rate. This would generally involve meeting the shuttle at the same time, and asking to be dropped off at a single location, travelling together. After a certain number (I think it's around 6-8, don't quote me) the price to get exclusive use of the shuttle becomes equal to the price of putting your group in. The shuttles hold 11 passengers.

So that is an approximation. The meter still ticks when it is stuck in traffic unless you managed to negotiate a flat fee for the journey. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are at the airport and need to go somewhere, within the airport area, be aware that it could be very expensive despite the short distance. www.taxi.co.nz is a facility run by Air NZ. It is a price comparison facility that includes airbus, taxi, shuttles and even helicopter. Note there's a slight surcharge for its use. It even lets you book and pay for the transport ahead of time. I haven't used it before but I can see how it is useful. Shuttles are door to door. The beauty if being an lca conference attendee is with the arrivals/departure page http://lca2015.linux.org.au/wiki/Arrivals_Departures on the wiki, or people wearing previous lca t-shirts when they travel, some of you can combine and get one shuttle or taxi. Supershuttle is the most reputable or well know of the shuttle services and I think they have a contract to be at the airport ranks. If there's more than one of you, it could be cheaper than $33. Supershuttle cost for airport - cbd (search on the supershuttle's website https://www.supershuttle.co.nz/Default.aspx 4ppl $59; 5ppl $67; 6ppl $75; 7ppl $84; 8ppl $91; 9ppl $99; 10 $107 11ppl $113 For 5 ppl it works out cheaper than the airbus and you have a door to door service. Other shuttle services I found (via google) + searched the prices below. I think you need to book with them in order for them to come pick you up. Note - never used them. A. Shuttlebus http://www.shuttlebus.co.nz/ >From Airport to CBD: 4 pax 65; 5 pax $70 ; 6 - 11ppl $85 6 - 11ppl from CBD to airport $75 B. Express shuttle http://www.expressshuttle.co.nz/ Auckland CBD - Airport one way: 3-4 $60; 5-6 $70; 7- 11ppl $85 C. Air Shuttle http://www.airshuttle.biz/ airport to CBD 3 - 9 ppl $80 CBD to airport 3 - 9 ppl $65 D. Quick shuttle http://www.quickshuttle.co.nz/airport-terminal/ 1 to 2 people - $60 total price 3 to 4 people - $65 total price 5 to 6 people - $75 total price 7 to 11 people - $90 total price E. Kathy's shuttle http://kathysshuttle.co.nz/ 2 ppl from airport to central auckland $45 http://kathysshuttle.co.nz/gettingplaces/ Her booking page has choices for up to 6 or more. So it is probably a bigger vehicle than the car on the web page. hope that helps Regards lin On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 5:39 PM, Mark Walkom wrote: > I noticed that it's ~$80 for a taxi and $35 for a shuttle, each way, which > is a bit expensive.

The url for this service is http://www.airbus.co.nz.? Also, traffic in Auckland can be unpredictable and pretty bad -if you need to commute anytime near rush hour the bus will be faster asthere are bus lanes for part of the trip. Last time I took a taxi from near Symonds street to the airport it only cost about $45.?? Looking at http://www.discounttaxis.co.nz it appears they are offring flat rate pricing of $35-$40? to/from the city - if that rate is correct, its a much better deal then a shuttle, which often stop along the way and waste time.??

Supershuttle is my favourite door-to-door service - not that cheap, but as Lin figured out, for a group it actually works out cheaper. There are usually a number of shuttles (van + trailer) parked right outside the international terminal exit, and I've rarely had to wait longer than 10 minutes for the driver to head off even when travelling alone. The group option should speed that up :-) If many of you want to opt for the shuttles, it might be wise to tip them off about the conference so they can dispatch drivers accordingly. Then, there's always other shuttles... Disclaimer - I am not affiliated with Supershuttle in any way. Just happen to use them on occasion.

There is a public bus that is $16 though. _From_ the airport, if you're not in a hurry and don't mind walking a bit, taking the Airbus (http://www.airbus.co.nz/) mentioned in the Wiki is probably a good option, unless you connect with N friends all travelling to/from the same location at the same time and can split costs. The AirBus is certainly my plan from the airport. It appears Route #1 via Mt Eden Road will go down Symonds Street (map linked from Wiki: http://www.airbus.co.nz/pictures/map-1-horizontal.png), which conveniently is the top of the ridge so I think it should be basically all downhill from there to both Uni Hall and Carlaw Park (stop #7147 at 25 Symonds St near the "corner" of Symonds St and Wellesley St West should work for both, but the earlier stop on Symonds St near the Langham hotel (83 Symonds St AFAICT) might work better for Uni Hall depending on how you get into Uni Hall -- as the earlier stop is higher up the hill). AFAICT the Mt Eden Road route runs every 30 minutes during the weekend daytime (http://www.airbus.co.nz/timetable) -- alternating with the less useful Dominion Road, which goes down Queen Street -- the valley -- in the city. The journey planner thing estimates it's a 41 minute bus trip (presumably without much traffic), plus 10-15 minutes (approx 1km) walk to Carlaw Park. At a guess the shuttle ride would take 40-45 minutes all up in no traffic, with less waiting around at the airport and less walking, but cost more. (If you wanted to skip the walk to Carlaw Park then staying on the bus further downtown and then catching a cab from, eg, Galway St outside Britomart -- https://at.govt.nz/driving-parking/taxis/ -- could be an option, and should still be a lot cheaper than a taxi from the airport. I doubt that makes sense for Uni Hall as the bus route gets pretty close to Uni Hall.) Going back to the airport I suspect group booking a shuttle would be most convenient -- and give you a better chance of a decent sized vehicle. The AirBus appears only to run out via Queen Street, so it'd be a bit of a walk downhill from Uni Hall, and a non-trivial up/over/around from Carlaw Park. (SuperShuttle are the Big Name shuttle in Auckland/Wellington/etc -- not neccessarily the cheapest, but they've been doing it for ages.)

FWIW I've never had a problem going into NZ (and honestly, working out what is and isn't over the counter/prescription medication in $random_country_you_are_visiting_this_week is pretty tricky). I'd worry more if it's meds that can have recreational use, but odds are in a prescription bottle should be fine (I'm sure they're used to people bringing them in, and if you have a minimal amount it's a lot different than if you're bringing in 6 months supply for a 1 week trip).

I also didn't realise this would be necessary until too late to get my prescribing doctor's letter. I'm considering it'll probably be worth the risk of confiscation to bring in a class B controlled drug (prescription bottle with my name on it) assuming I'm not going to get arrested for it or the like.

This is true of many laws in many countries -- it's called "strict liability" in the law. One is expected to be informed of the laws of the country (you live in/are visting/etc). 10 seconds with Google turns up: http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/consumers/miet/importmedicines.asp which seems to have a link to a classification tool that would allow searching for your medicine (perhaps by chemical compounds?) and determining the classification, if you wished to do so. In practice, my impression is that New Zealand border control cares about: - biosecurity (lots!) - dutyable items (eg, alcohol/tobacco) - GST collection (ie, bringing in above "personal allowance") - "drugs" in approximately that order. So that in practice if you present a good case for legitimately having something in the quantity that you have, that is not a biosecurity risk, and it can be fairly easily verified it is what you say it is, then there's a reasonable chance you'll be allowed in with it even without mountains of paperwork. (Especially if, eg, you're coming from a "good country".) Bringing your prescription medicine in the prescription bottle with your name on it would help your case for being legitimate, and verifiable, a lot. Bringing a doctors certificate is probably useful if you have one, and maybe essential if you need non-trivial quantities (if someone would wonder "is that really all for you", you're probably going to want that doctor's certificate :-) ), or it's particularly restricted even in your own country. But New Zealand is a pretty high-trust country in general so you're likely to be believed by default if, eg, it looks like "a week's supply of a drug legitimately prescribed to me". Which doesn't make it guaranteed/legal. Just likely to be tolerated in practice, if it were something that might be prescribed here too. Ewen PS: Pusedoephedrine containing drugs are the one commonly-available-elsewhere thing I'd expect to raise the most eyebrows here. They're basically unobtainium here now (as Precursors to Illegal Drugs (tm)), even though they're over the counter in other countries (and were here, some years back). The "is that all for you" consideration probably applies double there.

For Biosecurity items, failure to declare is an offence. If really in doubt, don't tick the box concerned - say so and ask for help when presenting your declaration. These guys are not out to make life difficult and genuinely want to be helpful, but NZ is an island and free of many pests and diseases common elsewhere overseas and we want it to remain so. Often if they see something, like a jar of face cream (it looks like honey), they will just ask and accept your answer. They are not interested in the electronics or other items, except hidden drugs, excess alcohol, and weapons, in which case if spotted they would alert a customs officer or security. Customs do not scan incoming bags, unless one has already been targeted for a search, if this happens be polite, truthful and cooperative. As far as medications are concerned, provided they are declared and can be legally prescribed in NZ, are in the original correctly labelled container showing your passport name, and are in quantities reasonable for the duration of your stay there should be no problem. No customs or biosecurity officer wants to feel responsible for the health of visitors deprived of their legitimate medications. If they contained components illegal in NZ, I would personally expect them to be held and returned to you on departure and also to assist with arrangements about sourcing a supply of a NZ legal replacement.

Common law may trump codified law in this case and some one could be held responsible for the injury. Has happened in other c'th countries with common law. The option to have it in detention and then fly out would be safer. If it's prescribed by a medical practitioner then it is medically necessary treatment. Interfering in this treatment without consent or by a non-practitioner would be a pretty obvious injury to most. Just because the dug is illegal in NZ does not mean that it is not necessary. Some heart meds available in the US are not available in AU. A visitor from the US had their checked luggage with their meds lost and could not tolerate alternative available in AU. Was quite concerned about having to send them back in something more substantial than a pine wood box. The special access scheme is too slow and they would have died. Medivac for now unstable heart was expensive. Luckily the airline eventually found the luggage and they were stabilised and stayed as planned. The incentive for the airline to find the luggage is that they were responsible for the safety of their passenger and this was made clear. This is a travel safety issue. Along with the usual drinking H2O and standing up for weight bearing exercise regularly if you can. Have at least enough meds for stay plus a week (in case you miss flight out) and valid prescription in your normal country of residence. In AU the label affixed to the box is proof that it was dispensed with a prescription so bring foils in the box not just the foils. If a pharmacist's label is not on the box then a certified copy of the original prescription may suffice. (The pharmacist needs the original and may also need to keep it.) I will do both and I luckily do not have methadone. Take 1/2 the meds in your hand luggage in case checked luggage goes missing. It's easier to declare legal prescription medicines if you have some of each in hand luggage. With significant injury some pain and bladder meds are AU S5 and are not available in NZ for those conditions. Most c'th countries, even Singapore you are safe if pharmacist's label is on box and only enough for own use. > > Athol > > From dhawke at oss.co.nz Tue Jan 6 16:47:39 2015 From: dhawke at oss.co.nz (Dan Hawke) Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 18:47:39 +1300 (NZDT) Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] Queer BoF Lunch - Tuesday In-Reply-To: <580890735.34193.1420523027782.JavaMail.root@oss.co.nz> Message-ID: <162402483.34271.1420523259220.JavaMail.root@oss.co.nz> Hey all, Given I enjoyed the Queer BoF at my previous LCA visits, I've created: https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Queer_BoF If you'd like to attend, please add yourself or email me off list so I have an idea of numbers.

I disagree Marc, Andrew is right. Take a *full* trip supply in checked luggage and a second set in carry on (with the relevant doco).

I only ever put enough prescription meds in my carry-on as is needed for the trip. Then again, needles aren't very welcome in carry on luggage. :-D BTW - bit of plane info from a plane geek who's grown up around very large planes - aft cargo bays on most passenger jets have pressurised and temperature controlled environments, on Boeings all holds are pressurised (not sure about temp control though) and it's generally only a little colder than the cabin (which would suit me as it's always too blooming hot). Otherwise all those pets being transported in the hold would die. I'm guessing delicate goods also go in the pressurised cargo bay - so you could perhaps flag delicate medications as such.

From your link, I'd pick this one: http://www.surplustronics.co.nz/products/5079-ceramic-soldering-iron Soldering is not always about the iron. It's the solder, the flux, the PCB (or whatever you're soldering to), the component, its legs or pads or contacts... Getting dissimilar metals to bond is (IMHO) as much art as science, but there's a lot you can do to make it work for you.

It is my plan B. My plan is not to lose my carry on. If I lose it, I have bigger problems than my medication :) That said, if your medication is very important to your health, have it in your clothes. Checking it in is a distant backup to having someone fedex you new medication overnight (which I've had to do for someone after luggage was delayed 2 days with medication inside, or my own personal luggage delayed 6 times, up to one week once, but I never put medication in it).

For SMD work the flux pens are what we have been using. Neither Surplustronics or Jaycar seem to stock what we are after, so we are aiming to bring one along for the OpenRadio miniconf.

The solder is resin-cored though, so you can clean up a joint by heating it up and adding a tiny bit of solder. Also, myself and others will be on-hand with rework kit to clean up boards if required.

I'm a big fan of seeing a new town from the air. When visiting, I will generally include a chopper ride or some sort of flight around town. Perhaps I just like aviation a bit too much, but there are many vendors out there who would be willing to take the money from a tourist wanting to do the same. I can't recommend any organization over another, but I'm sure Google can help you. On the flip side, there are numerous options for sightseeing from a boat in the Auckland harbour area. Rangitoto Island is only a quick boat ride and is the area's newest volcano. Bring sturdy shoes. It's connected via the tiniest spits of land to Motutapu Island. A little bit further out is Waiheke Island. Lots of vineyards and opportunities for some fantastic eating. There's even some bouldering on the east side if you're into that. Lots of other volcanos in the area too. If you're keen, get up one and look in. Some have important cultural significance like One Tree Hill. Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium is really cool especially if you like penguins, hint, hint, hint. There's a bungy jump under the Auckland bridge that is kinda fun. Likewise, you can jump off the Skytower using an assisted descent device. Or if leaving the tower is no good, you can take a guided tour around the outside near the top of the it. If you're car capable, take a trip out to Piha beach. Awesome area. Go walk around and experience it. You'll need to walk way to the left to see the best stuff. Waves crashing on the rocks, caves, tunnels, hills, there's nothing there that isn't fantastic. On the way there, you'll need to go through Waitakere Range. If you like hiking, take a walk there too. Sadly, not too much climbing in the area though there are gyms and there is always the Mt Eden Quarry which I have yet to visit. ________________________________ Mark Smith Senior Performance Analyst 85 Alexandra Street Hamilton +64 7 959 2634 Office [Emulex] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The chicks should have hatched by now - this is prime bird watching season at Muriwai. Stop at the ranger station in the Waitakeres to pick up a recent map if you plan to go for a hike - plenty of tracks have been closed prevent spreading of kauri dieback disease. There's trails taking anywhere between 2 hours and 12 hours round trip.

My printer bombs with Xpdf. Took too long with gv and gs. So used gs to make g3 and then encapsulated in new PeDoFile so that I could then print it with Xpdf. Bar code will have been rendered at 200dpi or 8 line/mm. Probably won't work. QRs work well and cryptographically sign record with GPG that you QR. Only airline knows secret, public keys issues by airline, see: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1001675 #!/bin/sh # Example only gpg --clearsign \ --passphrase-file ~/.sign/passphrase <~/.sign/D3572FAE_pub.asc | \ qrencode -8o- >/tmp/D3572FAE.png The signed record in this case is my public key for the one used to sign it.

If you Argh, that would have been better to know before I signed up and bought the kit. Doesn't it include a USB audio input that my laptop will see like I thought it would? (analog audio inputs are kind of getting are nowadays. My last laptop that had one was 2 laptops ago. I think it also had PCMCIA card support) I have a Thinkpad T540p with a single audio jack. I _think_ it's a 4 ring jack where if I plug in my cell phone headset it picks up the microphone from my headset instead of the microphone from my laptop. I just tried whistling into my cell phone headset and I can see sound input, but this only works when my laptop detects a 4 ring jack plugged in (it switches modes internally)/ I just plugged in a line in cable into it and my cell phone audio out on the other side, and couldn't see anything from my cell phone in pavucontrol when I selected the microphone input that was working for my 4 ring headset. Telling me to get a sound card isn't very helpful at this point, I'm in a plane from Paris to SFO and then Auckland (don't ask). How SOL am I? Will I be unable to use the kit and do any of the experiments/tests during the whole day? Is there an easy way to get a 4 ring to 3 ring adapter that will support audio input at the conference? Or can you bring some? (making or ordering one with that little notice will be a bit hard) Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

Bear in mind a lot of MOTAT is an outdoor environment. I'll have suncream with me, but probably best to pack your own as well. Speakers' dinner - not sure if there's a dress code. May be worth bringing a cardigan just in case the aircon is set to arctic, but I don't think you'll need it.

Generally the 1-day forecast is accurate - but anything beyond 5 days is little more then a guess. (in Dec 2013 Forcast accuracy fell to less then 60% 7 days out)? Statistically, while it rains less in summer then Winter here over the course of a week I'd typically expect some rain - Typically (but not always) it will be of short duration and you can wait it out [ 10-30 minutes ] if you have thebad luck to need to go somewhere when its raining. Also, the rain often falls sideways here (close to anyway), making an umbrella less useful then in most other places.?? If in doubt, a light rain jacket is ideal.

I often pull up the duvet in the middle of the night wheras at bed-time (between say 2200 and 0030) I generally don't want more than a sheet. That happens later. You can just layer-up I suppose but i'm not sure how comfortable that'll be, esp in the warmer part of the evening.

Typically I consider same day/next day forecasts to be "better than random", and seasonal guides to be useful for averages. But beyond that "anything could happen". Rain forecast in, say, 3 days time could mean (a) it will rain in 3 days time, (b) it will rain tomorrow, (c) it will rain in 5 days time, or (d) it will not rain for two weeks, (e) one or more of the above, (f) something else. Humidity in New Zealand, in general, tends to be higher than Places Adjacent to Large Deserts (eg, much of Australia), due to the lack of "dry breezes" taking the moisture out of the air. I'd suggest packing: - clothes for 20-30 C daytime/15-25C nighttime weather ("summer"), - something at least drizzle proof if not rain proof, - at least one warm thing for when it's more in the 10-20C than in the 20-30C (or at least something wind proof) Being summer it's _unlikely_ to get below 10C. But it might get close, and feel like it's below 10C. Being New Zealand, it's unlikely to get (much) above 30C. If you feel the cold, bring more than one warm thing (I know I will be bringing layers of warmer things). If you feel the heat, maybe adjust towards summer things but bring something "warmer" as contingency planning. Expect that you might well need _all_ of that range of clothes ("summer", "drizzle proof", "warm thing") in the one day. For Australians, and others, who have been to Tasmania, think "Tasmania weather". Auckland is probably a bit warmer than Tasmania at the last LCA in Tasmania, and a bit more humid, but "Tasmania" will be a closer mental model than say "Perth" or "Canberra".

Message-ID: Hey all, For some years now I've thought there should be some sort of android app that lets you figure out which talks you want to go to and stuff like that. I couldn't find an easy open source way of doing that (I can't program android apps to save my life, and I couldn't find anything open source that was similar; I tried just using google calendar directly, but that seemed to suck IMNSHO), but there's a few SaaS-style things that do stuff like that, and one of them lets you set up a thing for free. So I did that, imported the ical file, and tried it; I kinda like it. URL is http://guidebook.com/g/nzqw3xiy/ It seems to work okay on Android, and is supposed to work on iPhone fwiw. I put in a map, some twitter and youtube bits, and a couple of graphics as well as the schedule, so it's not /totally/ bare. I only did the free/demo version, so it'll presumably stop working once 200 people download it. Or, well, 199 now... (The Guidebook site/app seems pretty great to me, except that it's not open source. It'd be $1750 (or more) per conference to allow unlimited downloads, though. That's only $3 or $4 per attendee though... If the conf organisers want to add to it or make it official, apparently I can add co-admins or something) Anyway, I think I'll find it useful so maybe others will too. If someone who /can/ program android/iphone apps to save their life wants to see about doing a similar thing but GPLed, that'd be cool too... ?Cheers, aj? -- Anthony Towns -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

From some hunting around the 4-part 3.5mm plug is called a TRRS plug: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_%28audio%29#TRRS_standards (TRRS == Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve), and there a couple of pinouts (basically whether the sleeve or second ring is the microphone). The one Apple picked (microphone on the sleeve) seems to be more common in recent equipment. Armed with that name, searching for adapters in New Zealand turns up: http://www.rubbermonkey.co.nz/Rubber-Monkey/PC-Headset-to-Smart-phone-Adapter http://www.rubbermonkey.co.nz/Rubber-Monkey/PC-Headset-to-Smart-phone-Adapter-iPhone which according to the pinout information on those pages covers the two different pinouts (in addition to having different plastic moulding) -- the iPhone one obviously being Apple's chosen pinout. I've not dealt with Rubber Monkey before, but they seem to have a bunch of parts like that. AFAICT they based in Wellington, but would ship (overnight at a guess, given they claim to have stock in Wellington) to Auckland. If you only want the Microphone input to work, there's also something like the Rode SC4 which is a TRS female to TRRS male adapter (http://www.rodemic.com/accessories/sc4), which seems to be sold through the RockShop in New Zealand (http://www.rockshop.co.nz/) and may even be stocked in one of their Auckland stores. (Skiming the datasheet for the Rode SC4 it looks like it's the Apple pinout.)

Also if a very famous person volunteered a paper and the conference organisers didn't realise that they deserved a plenary slot then this could alert them. > 2.

I'm surprised that you think there should be effort made to accommodate people who don't plan to attend every day of the conference given the effort that is put in to get people to the morning keynote on time. > 3. There are 80-something talks. A lot of work for most people to read and > rank (see 1) Ranking them would be more difficult than voting for the Australian senate without voting a party ticket. But that's not necessary. Allowing delegates to list how interested they are in each talk with a 1-5 rating should do.

You need to have a cellphone to receive the pin code, but the connected device (2 per account) doesn't need to be your phone. There's also small amounts of free wifi on the Link buses.

I'm be staying at Uni Halls, where the previous advice was that the wired network in the rooms would not be available to conference delegates. Does the above advice supercede this?

We will communicate in greater detail in the next day or so, however my understanding /at this point/ is that our Conference Wifi will be available at any of the City Campus locations as shown on the map on this page: http://www.library.auckland.ac.nz/services/it-essentials/internet-and-wireless/wireless-access#coverage The University Halls appear on the above map as 'Elam Halls' and are not shown to have Wifi. So at the Uni Halls you will be able to use Wired networking. The advise we have received as of late yesterday is: "The residential wired network access doesn?t require any credential during university holiday period. User can just connect the ethernet port in the room and go. This network access is available to all the accommodations provided by our university." It's been many months since I last personally visited the Uni Halls so I don't know exactly where the ethernet ports concerned are - I /think/ there's a port in each room. There will be some official comms to registered delegates and speakers about the Internet connectivity options generated in the next 24 hours or so.

I'll keep an eye out. However, since I commence travel within 24 hours the above might not quite land in my inbox in time so I appreciate the info you've provided. I'll ensure I have an ethernet lead, won't expect wifi in the accommodation in any form, but will keep in mind that the situation is subject to change. jonathan From tabitha at tabitha.net.nz Fri Jan 9 12:02:21 2015 From: tabitha at tabitha.net.nz (Tabitha Roder) Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 14:02:21 +1300 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] Parking at Uni Halls and Carlaw Park Message-ID: Hi everyone I don't believe there is any parking available at the Uni Halls or Carlaw Park (or if there is it is limited).

The Runnning BoF has been a regular part of the conference every year since Melbourne in 2008 and it has been getting more popular every year. Last year we had some really good jogs through Kings Park and surrounds. Looking at the map (I am not familiar with Auckland) there is a massive looking park (Auckland Domain) just below the uni and Carlaw Park (one of the two accoommodation places) is on the edge of the park. I would suggest we meet outside Carlaw at 6am on Monday morning and do a bit of a jog around the park. We will get a good idea of the size and options there and maye have some fun running around. I guess Stewart and Leah will likely be involved, Probably Mathew Wilcox. Recent conferences many others have been joining in, there is no need to be fast, this is a fun social jog sort of effort, those who feel like doing efforts can often do some form of hill or interval session while staying near those keen to simply ejoy the morning at their own pace. I can not yet edit the wiki so it may be useful if someone who can adds some details such as 6am meeting outside Carlaw every morning of the conference to the wiki.

The Runnning BoF has been a regular part of the conference every year since Melbourne in 2008 and it has been getting more popular every year. Last year we had some really good jogs through Kings Park and surrounds. Looking at the map (I am not familiar with Auckland) there is a massive looking park (Auckland Domain) just below the uni and Carlaw Park (one of the two accoommodation places) is on the edge of the park. I would suggest we meet outside Carlaw at 6am on Monday morning and do a bit of a jog around the park. We will get a good idea of the size and options there and maye have some fun running around. I guess Stewart and Leah will likely be involved, Probably Mathew Wilcox. Recent conferences many others have been joining in, there is no need to be fast, this is a fun social jog sort of effort, those who feel like doing efforts can often do some form of hill or interval session while staying near those keen to simply ejoy the morning at their own pace. I can not yet edit the wiki so it may be useful if someone who can adds some details such as 6am meeting outside Carlaw every morning of the conference to the wiki.

As of later this afternoon, the situation has changed again. The Uni Halls have full Wifi including the Conference wifi. The Wired networks 'should' work - but 'may not'. The background to this is that there was always the intent to set up the Wifi at the Uni Halls and it appears it has only just been finished (in the last few days perhaps), so we've lucked out a bit here. It wasn't originally going to be done on time for conference. Mark.

The list for central city is http://www.metroeats.co.nz/cheap-eats/best-cheap-eats-2014-central-city/ and newton http://www.metroeats.co.nz/cheap-eats/best-cheap-eats-2014-newton/ This reddit post will have links to all the lists until someone can put it in the individual URLs in the wiki http://redd.it/2itio4 Malaysian: The ones on the list I would recommend that is Malaysian is Sri Pinang on Karangahape Rd and Mamak Malaysian, Chancery Square, 50 Kitchener St, CBD. This is one of the top 10 in the top 100 They also list Angie's Kitchen, 17 Mount St (it is near uni). I haven't tried it and but haven't heard anything bad about it. There's another called Selera on Khyber Pass Rd and is listed in cheap eats http://www.metroeats.co.nz/cheap-eats/best-cheap-eats-2014-newmarket-and-orakei/ Selera is good too. You can get there by bus or if you're keen, walk there. Use www.at.govt.nz for bus routes. Sri Pinang is on 356 Karanghape Rd. [1] They have been going over 20 yrs and specialise in Nyonya food. $1 corkage for wine. I recommend most dishes there! my favourites are the fish head curry(you can ask for fish fillets - no bones or head), rendang and mee goreng. If you go for fish head curry you need more than one at the table as it is served in a claypot. It isn't open on Sunday and Monday lunch. Mamak Malaysian has some nice dishes. This is a malaysian that doesn't serve pork. So the Char Koay Teow is the mamak style and not malaysian chinese style. It is good though and quite popular. Satya South Indian restaurant on 271 K'Rd (aka Karangahape Rd) has some dishes that you'll find in Malaysia. Eg the Dosa and idli are common in Malaysian Indian cuisine. Dosa is called Thosai in Malaysia. Idli is spring hoppers and gluten free. Whether Dosas are gluten free or not depends on each place's recipe. Satya is also popular with the vegetarian + vegans. Indonesian: Unfortunately I know know of some but not tried them. There's a indonesian food stall at Food Alley on Albert St (opposite Stamford Hotel, on Albert St close to intersection with Customs st) that I've heard of. Google tells me it is called Wardini Indonesian http://www.wardani.co.nz. Also relatively new is a Legianz Waroeng Indonesia at Victoria Park market http://www.waroenglegianz.co.nz/ Review sites: Most places but you'll find zomato.com with most listings as it recently took over the big food review site called MenuMania. The good thing is they try to have menus (often photos of menu - so not searcheable) and lists the food hygiene cert. Yelp started in Auckland a few years ago Some places have a trip advisor page too. Google+ is another BUT really none of them are reliable for review and I tend to take make my decision by looking at a few together. Most like google+ aren't quick to remove places that have closed or changed names (don't get me started on this topic - I'll stop here) Example Sri Pinang Zomato https://www.zomato.com/auckland/sri-pinang-karangahape-road Google+ https://plus.google.com/110956476833978630817/about?gl=nz&hl=en TripAdvisor http://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/Restaurant_Review-g255106-d778297-Reviews-Sri_Pinang-Auckland_North_Island.html Yelp http://www.yelp.co.nz/biz/sri-pinang-auckland Localist http://www.localist.co.nz/l/hlfukg Will write more later regards lin ps [1] When ppl say K'rd, they mean Karanghape Rd On Sat, Jan 10, 2015 at 8:20 AM, Josh Berkus wrote: > Folks, > > One thing I want to do while in NZ is get some really good Malaysian > and/or Indonesian food.

If you're going to the Penguin Dinner and are looking for that little something extra for your Steampunk attire (or if, like me, you're terrible at costumes and don't *have* any attire...) then you might be interested in these. One of my best friends is an artist from Nelson (NZ), and recently made a batch of hand-molded and painted steampunk buttons. I've nabbed the spares she had left over after her exhibition and have brought them with me to LCA. To prevent spamming the list with file attachments you can see them at: http://imgur.com/a/jAY7q There's only a small selection left (more than pictured, but not by much). Small, medium, or large, for 4, 5 or 6 NZD respectively. If you're interested, come find me during the conference (if you know who I am) or email me :-) I'll see you all soon! Cheers, Tom P.S. I apologize if this email seems inappropriate (since I'm selling something). For the record, it was *my* idea, not Greta's. I just figured this crowd might appreciate her work, esp. with the themed dinner! :-) From steve at lca2015.linux.org.au Sat Jan 10 15:43:05 2015 From: steve at lca2015.linux.org.au (Steven Ellis) Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2015 17:43:05 +1300 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] INVITATION for 'AWS Geek Meet' - Friday 16th January Message-ID: *Amazon Web Services ANZ is growing and looking for engineers like you!

The roaming is automatic when you use your phone in NZ (and other countries). New customers as of last year should have this turned on by default (I did in August) but older customers might need to opt in. Probably best to check if you're unsure.

Whilst the cost of the phone calls and SMS stuff is useful, that I could get (iirc) 700MB for ~$70 was somewhat of a non-shock, hence I grabbed a 2degrees SIM locally in Auckland as that scored me 12GB for $100. tl;dr - if you're roaming on Telstra, get the cheapest travel pass you can and get a 2degree local data SIM and shove it in your spare phone.

The Calendar is (guessing) in NZ time and currently you?re in AU time (again guessing) so if something is on at 0800 NZ time it?ll show up as 0600 in your calendar (it does for me in Sydney anyway), because thats when it happens in Sydney time. It might change when you get to NZ. So in fact, as annoying as it is, the calendar is actually correct. Hope that makes sense!

Probably best to check if you're unsure. > Further to this: there is a difference between Vodafone's "international roaming" and the "$5/day roaming". Vodafone's online system should let you select one or the other, but note that the "international roaming" option does let you use talk, txt, etc, but at $1/MB and $1/minute. (Yes, *AU$1 *for* 1024KB* of data. Ouch) The $5/day roaming only charges you *if* you use talk/text/data on the day (24 hour period). If you are radio silent, there's no charge. If you go over your normal plan allowance, it's full price ($1/MB) (Double check your fine print and Vodafone's online customer portal if this maps to your plan, prepaid will work differently, terms, fees, charges, llamas, conditions apply, etc) - Katie [snip thread] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In case it helps anyone, here's the wpa_supplicant network settings which seem to work for me. I don't think all of these are strictly required, but ymmv. In particular the fallback to TKIP is probably worthless. scan_ssid=0 ssid="LCA2015" proto=WPA2 key_mgmt=WPA-EAP pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP eap=PEAP identity="****" password="****" Parameters not specified obviously take on their default values.

Message-ID: Flight or travel plans cancelled/delayed? If your flight is cancelled or delayed AND new arrival time means you will have to check in late to Uni Hall or Carlaw Park, DO NOT PANIC! If possible update the Campus accommodation page so we know you will be late. If you can't update anything (we know what it is like being stuck in the airport, queueing etc), just call the after hours number when you get to the hall. The number for each hall are on the campus accommodation page on the wiki. Campus accommodation page on the wiki http://lca2015.linux.or.au/wiki/Arrivals_Departures If you have any problems with that there's the lca2015 on call number which will have someone on the other end of it. If you are a speaker, we would appreciate if you could let us know of your new travel plans. Safe travels to those of you making your way to Auckland for lca2015.

Some of them have caused ongoing disputes lasting years. There is a strong correlation between writing a message that is likely to make such a discussion worse and not checking where it's going to be sent. Having messages default to not go to everyone is likely to alleviate flame wars. That seems like the best idea given the history of this list.

I tried this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/eduroam-wifi-connection-with-wicd-4175479700/#post5040544 and it worked. However, I wanted to figure out which parts made a difference. So I started again from one of the existing templates to try to get the minimal changes required: # cp /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/wpa2-peap{,-nodom} and made these changes to the copy: # diff -u /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/wpa2-peap{,-nodom} --- /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/wpa2-peap 2011-10-22 20:25:57.000000000 +1100 +++ /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/wpa2-peap-nodom 2015-01-12 12:21:50.368074977 +1100 @@ -1,17 +1,18 @@ -name = WPA2-PEAP +name = WPA2-PEAP-NODOM author = atiketemola version = 1 -require identity *Username domain *Domain password *Password +require identity *Username password *Password protected password *Password ----- ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="$_ESSID" + scan_ssid=$_SCAN proto=RSN key_mgmt=WPA-EAP pairwise=CCMP eap=PEAP - identity="$_DOMAIN\$_IDENTITY" + identity="$_IDENTITY" password="$_PASSWORD" phase2="auth=MSCHAPv2" } That is, I removed the domain stuff and added scan_ssid=$_SCAN. I don't know what the latter actually does but without it wicd-gtk often tells me that it can't find any wireless networks. Could be coincidence... You also need to add the new template to the list of active templates: # git diff /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/active diff --git a/wicd/encryption/templates/active b/wicd/encryption/templates/active index 73577d3..be9d515 100644 --- a/wicd/encryption/templates/active +++ b/wicd/encryption/templates/active @@ -3,6 +3,8 @@ wpa-peap wpa-psk wpa2-leap wpa2-peap +wpa2-peap-nodom wep-hex wep-passphrase wep-shared Then choose WPA2-PEAP-NODOM as the encryption type for the connection and fill in the details.

People often answer with a one-word response about what they *can't* eat. Like "Wheat" or "Shellfish", and so naturally the organizers will err on the side of caution. 2. Putting a joke response in the dietary requirements field of a conference registration actively makes it harder for the conference organizers to protect peoples health. When I'm faced with the dietary requirements field, I just thank my lucky stars that I'm someone who, if faced with a trace of wheat or a peanut in their meal, will NOT end up in hospital for the rest of the conference, and I leave it blank.

Some generous person has purchased a large box of detergent for use by all delegates. So even if you weren't planning to wash clothes, if you feel the need to do so it's an easy option. But please take careful note of the time that washing/drying will finish and remove your clothes promptly. Currently every dryer has clothes in it, and half of them have apparently dry clothes (the dryers aren't doing any drying). There are people wandering in and out of the laundry who probably want to dry clothes but who can't (or who might move someone else's clothes). My clothes will be dry at midnight and I'll be there waiting for them.

More LCA visitors are welcome." https://twitter.com/tangleball/status/554582712124579840 "Place will be open all evening. Group meeting open to all, participation welcome. Just easier to socialise before/after. " https://twitter.com/tangleball/status/554583891567063041 How many are interested in visiting? Could arrange a tour guide. Also, if Wed is better, maybe open for a social evening? https://twitter.com/tangleball/status/554590790354096129 It is not a big space so it won't fit 300 of you. So whoever organises this should check out how many they can fit in and still be a nice cosy visit. Please note: It would be wrong not to warn you about the area since you are tourists and I am a local. I would not walk around that area on my own at night. This area is probably known to have street prostitutes hanging around. On that side The NZ Prostitutes Collective's Auckland office used to be nearby. It appears to have moved a couple of blocks closer to queen st.. It is also the area where one long standing pacific island church calls home. So please careful when you walk there. I would go as a group and leave as a group. Note: There's also a makerspace at the local library. It is in the central library building that is at the corner of Queen + wellesley St. I've just reached out to one of the organisers. There's a volunteer or two at lca2015 who know auckland makerspaces better than I do. regards lin On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 9:09 AM, Patrick Barnes < patrick.barnes at mindbleach.com> wrote: > For those interested in hardware, hacking in the creative sense, etc, or > are members of a hackerspace back at home; there's a hackerspace in > Auckland called Tangleball. > > http://www.tangleball.org.nz > > They aren't far from campus and they welcome visitors - and they've given > me permission to mention them here - so you are welcome to drop by during > their open hours. > > -Patrick > > _______________________________________________ > Chat mailing list > Chat at lists.lca2015.linux.org.au > http://lists.lca2015.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/chat > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They are erring on the side of caution. As an example my meal, is dairy free as I'm very allergic to milk (not just intolerant - I get the whole throat swelling, eyes like garfield thing). So far my meals have matched the low carb, gluten free, paleo meals - so basically I get chicken on a stick which is quite nice and light. The caterers are creating food that is tasty to cover a variety of requests. People with multiple avoidances - i.e. carbs, meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables - they are labeling with your name and just adding the first thing on your list - but they are covering all the items specified in your wish list. The poor waiting staff have no idea - they are just doing their job and have over 600 people in the room. The people who know what's in the food are in the kitchen. People with major allergies are separately covered - we and the caterers are being extra careful with a smaller group of people who have nut, shellfish, fungii and a couple of other nasties. These meals are prepared separately and carefully, but again, they aren't going to list every single thing on the label, there isn't room for some of them, they will just put your name and the main item. All events are aware of these special cases and treating them the same way with separate preparation and extra care. Some of the food requests on the site were a little on the frivolous side - i.e. Food requirement - beersies, bacon. Special requirements - more beersies, more bacon. And so on... yeah, we may have ignored those ones. ;-) However, rest assured, there will be beer available at the events. Not sure about the bacon though. The other issue we have is people changing their requests during the conference. We can do our best for these and change from tomorrow onwards with the caterers at the uni, however, we can't change the event catering as this has been locked in now for a few weeks. Please - if you get any problems come to see me straight away. I have antihistamines, pain killers for headaches, cream for hives. I don't have an epipen though. I have my major first aid kit in the NOC room.

Everyone is welcome! We'll probably try to grab some dinner together afterwards if anyone is interested - I'm not sure of the best options that serve dinner late and can be reached on foot from the venue, so if you have any suggestions please let me know. If you'd like a sticker to show your support of geeks with depression you can find some at the rego desk and on tables around the foyer. I'll also have some with me tonight!

Yes, I am surprised that a request for 'More Bacon' became 'No Bacon' because, as far as I know, More and No are not synonyms. Given we're talking about a topic as serious as food allergies, it's clear that if such a misunderstanding can happen in one direction it is plausible it could happen in the other and *that* should be of concern (which I believe Amanda addressed sufficiently), not merely dismissed as some crazy bacon fan simply being trollish. The joys of poorly worded questions, free form data input and no sanity checks. Anyways, I'm done. Cheers, Pete.

This is more of a long term plan for the rest of the week, because I think letting people easily tinker with their robots anywhere in the conference vicinity will be fun. It may not be possible though. Despite taking what we thought were careful precautions we wound up with a fairly new and unpleasant WiFi chipset (MT7601) in the dongles we supplied, and at first glance it seems like the available vendor-authored driver doesn't work properly with enterprise WPA. But I want to be sure![1] - Angus PS Thanks heaps to the folks who offered items on & off list, will follow up shortly. PPS Also, on the offchance anyone reading this is a Linux WiFi expert who loves debugging horrific vendor-supplied code.

I'll be going from the domestic airport to international on the way back, so getting my luggage anywhere between the 2 would work (I just won't have time to go to Auckland city center to go pick it up). I could give it to a company/person on Jan 23rd in Auckland (ideally around the sky city bus around noon) and I need to have it back on Feb 11th around 17:00 somewhere around the Auckland airport. The easy thing would of course be to drive to the airport on the 23rd and check it in with a luggage storage company there, but they want $15/day for that (around $200 total after discount). I can't quite ship the luggage home for that price (it's heavy diving gear), but is there some other way I can not pay that much to avoid carrying that heavy luggage around new zealand when I won't need it until my flight home? If you don't know another/better service, but you're a local, I could pay you for your time helping with this. If so, tell me if you'll be available for sure on Jan 23rd and Feb 11th and how much this would be worth to you :) Thanks Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

I've done some research on suitable routes and timings, and have updated the BoF wiki page accordingly - see https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Astronomy_BoF#Details I've included PDFs of the routes we'll be taking both to and from the Stardome, please download them to your devices so we have a redundancy of directions. :-) I've suggested that we assemble out front of the OGGB (Grafton Rd) at 6:15pm (Thurs.) and depart at 6:30pm SHARP. Because bus timetables impose real-world deadlines, we won't be waiting from stragglers, so you'll need to make your own way there if you miss us. :-) PLEASE NOTE that anyone who chooses to stay later at the Stardome than I've scheduled is on their own as far as the return journey goes. There are busses that depart later than the one I've selected, but they depart from different places. Please do your own research/make your own arrangements. If any locals look at this and have much better ideas about the best way to get there, please email me ASAP so we can amend. If anyone else is interested in coming along and hasn't yet added themselves to the list on the wiki page, please head over and add yourself.

Can I just say that at least for me and a bunch of others with dietary reqs, LCA this year has been awesome. Probably about the best I've seen (and I've been to a lot of conferences).

The 6625 2m repeater (146.625 -600 shift) is pretty awesome coverage wises (it's in Port Waikato and covers most of Auckland very well) and there's usually a commute-crowd at rush hour (loosely 8 til 9 and 4.45-5.45). I won't be around at 8pm but I may throw a call out on 6625 when it's time to head home from MOTAT with family in tow. Cheers ZL1VMF :-) PS: the 670 repeater has an IRLP node on it I think. 146.700 -600. None of our major repeaters use tone squelch on 2m.

There are some security concerns but it depends how secure you are trying to be. As for what keybase is, it's a basically an entry level way to start using gpg and to verify* gpg keys without going down the path of key signing parties by using social media. It's less secure than some methods but more secure than doing nothing.

Of-course, I'm happy to drop people off anywhere in town or on the North Shore on my way back. Also has anyone called up the Stardome and booked anything ? I know they have limited seating - not sure how busy it will be on a Thursday night. If anyone wants to get in touch with me, my mobile is 021-889-809 or email me (sending a txt is probably best though) - I'd particularly appreciate a call from anyone who my be organizing this, otherwise I'm happy to give a lift there to the first 6 people to respond.

For instance there's a whole telephone/exchange exhibit which was closed tonight (or at least was when I tried to go in). And an early mechanical computer (doing integration IIRC). In case it helps, because MOTAT is pretty close to the city, there are a whole bunch of buses that go from the CBD past MOTAT (on their way out to various places) -- the AT Journey Planner (https://at.govt.nz/bus-train-ferry) finds suitable buses basically every 5-10 minutes from sensible morning onwards on Saturday. (Plus it knows about MOTAT as a place to search for.) AFAICT the bus gets within about 100m of one of the MOTAT entrances. So if you're renting a car for other reasons, carry on. But if you're just renting the car to get to/from MOTAT, keep in mind that it is a location that public transport should be pretty workable. Ewen PS: There are a few car rental places on Beach Road, just slightly towards the CBD from Carlaw Park, which may minimise the get-to-rental-place travel. Of the ones I passed there, I've used Apex before and would again (the others I passed I haven't used).

AIUI (and very happy to be corrected on this) the cli client will look for the identifying posts on each proven identity (ie - it checks for a particular twitter post, a particular post on your github profiles, etc), and will notify the people following your verification status if it changes, thus giving a solid time stamp at this which this identity should stop being trusted, and at what point it can start being trusted again (should you chose to do so).

To clarify, for every operation that requires your private key (i.e. signing a key, signing a message, or encrypting a message) you are presented with three options: a) Use Keybase's (presumably JavaScript) implementation of PGP to do the action in your browser. This uses the private key which you have stored with Keybase. Uploading your private key is totally optional, but it's required to use this option. While your private key is ostensibly encrypted using your Keybase password, for this you must trust Keybase and their server code. b) Use Keybase's CLI client to do the action locally. This does not require you to upload your private key. The client's interface is trivial to use (e.g. $ keybase track delan) and the client is open source (among other repositories on GitHub/keybase). c) Use a completely transparent shell one liner. For the truly paranoid (wise?) Keybase can generate a pipeline for you to inspect and then dump into your shell. The command takes the form: $ echo ... | gpg -u ... -a --sign | perl -e ... | curl -d ... Unless I'm missing something, this final option requires no trust of Keybase or their code. P.S. ? I have three invitations available. Hit me up!

Oh no! I admit I actually had the same symptom but thought it was my firewall/nsswitch config, because it didn't work for me on the private AP either. (I'd disabled mdns resolution at some point a while ago.) When I was testing this the Pi was also connected via ethernet to my laptop, sowhen avahi didn't work I just looked there for the WiFi IP. Then I rebooted without the ethernet cable and verified it all still worked (which it did, as the DHCP server continued the same lease). Not the best testing metholodogy I guess. :( My network-fu is at its limits... does anyone have any good ideas? :/ (The best I can think of, given the IP is likely to change as you move around campus, is a script that updates a dynamic DNS entry somehow using the assigned private IP. Not exactly a great solution though.)

Export the newly signed key, encrypt it with said public key, and send it to the listed email addresses. Both caff and gcaff provide this functionality automatically. When you receive your signed and encrypted public key from someone else, you should then decrypt it, import it, and send it to a public key server of your choice. I like pgp.mit.edu, but any one will do, as public key servers tend to propagate keys among each other. This is a crucial final piece in the trust puzzle, because: a) It proves that the person can actually receive email at the email addresses listed in their public key's uid fields, and b) It proves that the person actually possesses the corresponding private keys which are paired with their alleged public keys. While there wasn't any obvious evidence of foul play yesterday, please follow this to avoid any possible misconduct.

Not exactly a great solution though.) Does the DHCP client on the Pi send the hostname while asking for an IP? At home and work dnsmasq remembers the mapping of requested hostname and IP address so that you can address it via DNS. I believe this is default in dnsmasq, I know the dhclient config in Ubuntu doesn't send the hostname by default though, not sure about Debian or Raspbian. -- Mike Abrahall From kim at hawtin.net.au Thu Jan 15 06:24:25 2015 From: kim at hawtin.net.au (Kim Hawtin) Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2015 08:24:25 +1300 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] OpenRadio sofware BoF session Message-ID: <54B6C269.10604@hawtin.net.au> Morning all, https://linux.conf.au/wiki/openradio_software When: Thursday, 12:30-13:00 (during lunch) Where: Caseroom 3 An opportunity for folks to catch up on the software we use for SDR, decoding and data modes.

Debian does, see /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf so I assume Raspian does as well. I doubt that the serve side takes any notice though.

Upon request they owuld hapilly bring you a tofu nut veggie salad box. Also there were mushroom and veggie rice paper rolls (accompanied by fish sauce which I thought silly rather than soy sauce) which were edibe, though they ran out earlyish. Many of us that I know (including meat eaters) also headed off for more food afterwards. Though the conference does seem to change every year from too little food to too much at the conference dinner.

As someone else pointed out there was a reasonable (soft) tofu salad, if you knew to ask (the organisers realised part way through the evening that they'd not told people enough about the food options and tried to go around telling people -- possibly you'd left by then). However I did have to ask if it was tofu or cheese... to determine if it was safe to eat. Which required the serving staff asking the chef. Both times I asked for one. So as a suggestion for future LCAs: Open Source Food. Even just a (complete!) list of ingredients would be awesome (build instructions for much food is #insert $obvious_preparation_method :-) )[0] Ewen [0] To answer the obvious now: Yes, sometimes there are staff you can ask. But usually they don't know *precisely* what is in it. Often the best they can say is, eg "we know it's gluten free" or "we know it is vegetarian", which is tricky to trust without knowing what *is* in it (oversights are easy with dairy/gluten/fish sauce/...), and also not particularly helpful if gluten/meat/fish/whatever is not the only thing you're trying to avoid... -- Ewen McNeill, via technology from the future -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Just to clarify, the planetarium show is first, with telescope viewing afterwards. The whole thing runs for about 1.5hrs, but they will stay open longer if lots of people are still keen. I expect that the planetarium show runs for about 45 - 60mins. If you're leaving directly after the show, people who want to leave early could join you, with others returning home via bus as planned. I called Stardome this morning and checked capacity, and made a booking for 15 people. At the moment we have 17 people down on the wiki list, but I expect at least a few will bail for various reasons (and that's totally OK, of course). I haven't paid any money, and they seem OK with us turning up with less than 15 people and not charging us for the extra seats. If anyone wants to get in touch with me, my mobile is 021-889-809 or email > me > (sending a txt is probably best though) - I'd particularly appreciate a > call > from anyone who my be organizing this, otherwise I'm happy to give a lift > there to the first 6 people to respond. > Consider yourself contacted. :-) But I'll text you shortly as well to make sure you see this. Perhaps you could bring your car around to the front of the OGGB before 6:30pm tonight and we can allocate seats on a greatest need/first come basis. I think it's sensible to prioritise anyone with mobility needs first. One you're full, the rest of us will bus it. We do need to set off walking at 6:30pm, so if you're not there you'll be travelling solo. :-) If people who put their name on the wiki but are now not planning to come along could update the wiki and remove themselves, that would be great. If we end up significantly less planning to come along, I'd like to be able to give Stardome a heads-up as a courtesy.

The whole thing runs for about 1.5hrs, but they will stay open longer if lots of people are still keen. I expect that the planetarium show runs for about 45 - 60mins.

But I'll text you shortly as well to make sure you see this. Perhaps you could bring your car around to the front of the OGGB before 6:30pm tonight and we can allocate seats on a greatest need/first come basis. I think it's sensible to prioritise anyone with mobility needs first. One you're full, the rest of us will bus it. We do need to set off walking at 6:30pm, so if you're not there you'll be travelling solo. ? :-) > > If people who put their name on the wiki but are now not planning to come along could update the wiki and remove themselves, that would be great.

Message-ID: /me puts on lca2015 attendee hat Just wonder if there's anyone with a good camera who can take a nice pic of the audience at keynote from the front. My guess is there'll be almost full house tomorrow and that's the only chance left to get a group pic of attendees. Is there a wide angle lens big enough to get it all in one or do we need to take individual pics and stitch it togetheR? If this is not allowed, pl don't rain your annoyance at the lca team. I just thought of this as steve + cherie were doing housekeeping and I took a pic of the audience. If there's a camera and photographer willing to take the pic, let me know and i"ll ask permission from Steve + Cherie to do this.

I coordinate the CoderDojo at Curtin University in Perth. We cater to over 160 kids a year, with over 30 volunteers from the community that help introduce children of all ages to programming and other areas of computing. I also work at Curtin, developing/delivering CS activities as part of the university?s engineering outreach program.? I don?t know if I?d be of any use, especially since I?m a student myself and I (obviously) don?t have children of my own. I don?t really have the context of messing around with C64s in the 80s to draw comparisons from, but I do have a bit of experience with children in a computing/STEM education environment. So I?m happy to help out if any of my knowledge is relevant. I?ll likely be attending LCA next year and I?ll keep an eye out for any developments. --?

These kits are a lot more successful than either of us expected - and the major draw card has been anything that involves the fan/propeller - The bulb and sounds were interesting, and gave us opportunities to tell them things, but nothing seems to beat moving parts :) Sven On 18/01/15 10:11, Fraser Tweedale wrote: > On Sat, Jan 17, 2015 at 08:44:41AM +1000, Jared Ring wrote: >> Calling all parents, educators and other interested parties! >> >> If a group of free and open technology enthusiasts went to playgroup, what >> would they talk about?

I really doubt that the GamerGate community includes a single person who has made any contribution to Linux comparable to Matthew Garrett.

But now we have a vocal minority trying to make defending Linus into part of GamerGate. If prominent figures could publicly agree that GamerGate is a bad thing and not related to LCA then things might get a bit saner. > My point is that you're going to start a flame war in this thread.

Twitter is very important in news nowadays, Twitter discussions even become news. Above are 2 of the articles about this, one of which has the Linus giving the bird image from the video you Tweeted. If we can agree that the attacks on women are a bad thing and that Linus isn't supporting such attacks then I don't think that there is much to debate about. All that's left is the issue of what tone of message to be used on the LKML which isn't an issue that is likely to attract much heated debate here. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ From lca2015-chat at bleeter.id.au Mon Jan 19 14:22:58 2015 From: lca2015-chat at bleeter.id.au (Peter Lawler) Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2015 16:22:58 +1300 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] #IStandWithLinus In-Reply-To: <201501191413.04425.russell@coker.com.au> References: <201501190109.36437.russell@coker.com.au> <201501191249.16841.russell@coker.com.au> <201501191413.04425.russell@coker.com.au> Message-ID: <54BC7892.6070605@bleeter.id.au> On 19/01/15 16:13, Russell Coker wrote: > On Mon, 19 Jan 2015, Kye Russell wrote: >> Not everybody agrees with you, I hate to break it to you.

I can't see any tweet with both the #istandwithlinus and the #lca2015 hashtag, and the #istandwithlinus hashtag is largely US-based. This makes me think it's probably off the back of the arstechnica article, not the conference talk itself. I'll keep digging though.

People in the Linux community don't have to actively support attacks on Shanley and similar horrible stuff. All they have to do is comment on all other aspects of the issue and refrain from saying anything bad about such attacks and the attackers will take that as support. If you say "I think that $PERSON_BEING_HARASSED is wrong" without making any comment about harassment being wrong then people will interpret it as "I think that $PERSON_BEING_HARASSED is wrong and deserves to be harassed".

When someone changes to the degree that they actively work to refute beliefs that they used to hold then it doesn't make much sense to attack them for their past beliefs.

Pohutukawa is a tree that flowers around Christmas time. Hence it is also known as the NZ Christmas Tree.

Message-ID: As Cherie + Steve said, we'd love to hear from you. There's sometimes meetups or events that happen that you may be interested in. So if you do have some warning, let me know and maybe there's something else happening that will interest you. Auckland Thursday Night Curry For example, if you're here on a Thursday evening, and free for dinner, there may be a possiblity you could join a few geeks for a curry dinner. http://auckland.thursdaynightcurry.com/ is a fortnightly curry meal with geeks in Auckland. Email me, check the website or our fb page https://www.facebook.com/groups/191840592650/ to see if it is on. Quite a few regular + occasional Auckland TNC ppl were at lca2015 as attendees, volunteers, speakers, and even in the core team. Even when there's not, with sufficient notice, we can create a meet. eg there was a curry dinner on 8 Jan on Symonds St with a few ppl attending. There's also Auckland Girl Geek Dinner, Auckland Women in technology, Auckland girl geek coffee, meetups for various things - we have a list and can share with ppl who want the info. There conferences + meetings in NZ regularly. regards lin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Pretty much every media player used on the planet these days will play h.264 mpeg4 encoded video files burnt to a DVD, and having tried to produce a 'plain old' DVD of content back in 2004 you're talking dozens and dozens of DVD's with the content produced at an LCA. The WebM files uploaded to the mirror are of archival quality; re-encoding it should still result in good looking video. You should be able to script up something that uses ffmpeg to transcode to mpeg4 (use h264 for video, mp3 or aac for audio). Burn those files to a DVD (will still require multiple DVD's).

In some cases this can work. In many others it won't fly. Many schools in Australia have outsourced the management of their computing infrastructure[1] and people at the schools are not able to install anything themselves. Everything needs to go through the contractor, and they themselves are under instructions to reject anything that's not approved by the principal or board. Unfortunately, principals these days seem to fall[2] for whatever flashy IT fad has been pushed at the latest EduTech[3] event or equivalent (I have seen this happen at our children's primary school at least three times over the past 8 years[4]). As it says on the EduTech event website: EduTECH(R) is the only event that brings together the entire education and training sector (primary, secondary, tertiary, higher education and workplace learning) plus libraries, plus government, plus suppliers...from every state in Australia, plus New Zealand, Asia and internationally#.. all under one roof. Most interpret this to mean that every possible supplier and option worth considering is on show, and limit their considerations to whatever is being peddled any particular year. Regrettably, FOSS is almost if not completely absent from this (and similar) events, so those making decisions about IT in our schools have no exposure to FOSS at all. That FOSS is not on show at events like this is not surprising: such events are designed by vendors of proprietary systems to convince schools to sink yet more money into their wares, and the FOSS community in general is not set up to partake in commercial marketing exercises such as this (the significant cost of having a stand being only one impediment). FOSS will certainly make inroads into some Australian schools: those where a teacher is a FOSS proponent or there is an active FOSS group of volunteers who can affort to invest a significant amount of time in the school. We've seen a number of presentations about situations like this at past LCAs. In addition, some selected FOSS applications might be picked up here and there, even in locked down schools. However, given the control that proprietary vendors have over the education sector in Australia at present, it is sadly very hard to see how FOSS can make significant inroads (such as replacing proprietary productivity suites for example). I would *love* to work to change this but unfortunately I simply don't have the time. Fortunately the situation isn't quite as bad in some other countries. It might be interesting to have a discussion about this situation at a future parenting miniconf. :-) Ok, I'll get off the soapbox now. This is getting slightly off-topic - sorry. Subject altered accordingly. Regards jonathan [1] In Australia this is often at inflated prices, since IT consultants have identified schools to be a bit of a cash cow due to the general lack of low level IT knowledge found across staff and how easy this makes it to charge for a whole bunch of unnecessary things. [2] Usually without any consideration of the impact such decisions have on the privacy of the children who are as young as 8 (or sometimes even younger), or their work. [3] http://www.edutech.net.au/ [4] I personally think that pushing extensive IT infrastructure use across all levels of primary school in particular is doing the students a disservice, but that's another topic entirely.

Youtube and the LA mirror appear to be 1:1, but we're having issues w/ rsync to the slingshot mirror. That should be resolved soon. I've also uploaded 3x experimental HD (720p) videos of the keynotes to Youtube and the mirrors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAKRdZLU7AU (Eben) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw4ihJr82PA (Linus) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLYQDW_Cids (What the Foo) http://mirror.linux.org.au/linux.conf.au/2015/HD_720p/ http://ftp.slingshot.co.nz/pub/linux.conf.au/2015/HD_720p/ (soon) I say experimental because we focussed primarily on the standard definition AV loops, but we had a couple of HD systems setup in the keynote venue to test what we can do for future LCA events. Unfortunately Bob Young's keynote had an audio issue with the HD capture hence why it is not included above (but the SD system captured it and the video is on YT/the mirror). If anybody here would love to see HD video for future LCA's (and other events) we'd love help on a number of open-source hardware and software projects: http://code.timvideos.us/ This has been mentioned elsewhere but I'll mention it again; a small percentage of the videos have issues with audio occasionally dropping out. It sounds like digital degradation so may mislead into thinking it's an audio encoding problem. This is unfortunately because we were using the digital audio system of the university, and some of their recievers/mics were either faulty or experiencing interference issues. The AV team actively worked on all conference days on resolving these issues, but there's unfortunately not a lot we can do about it in post-production. Please do report any videos with issues though (as some of you have been doing) and I'll keep working on improving what I can. A huge thankyou to the rest of the LCA2015 AV team as well; you guys were all fantastic.

From andrewb at zagam.net Tue Jan 27 13:09:08 2015 From: andrewb at zagam.net (Andrew Buckeridge) Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:09:08 +0800 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] FORTRAN Makefile and USE-MODULE dependency script Message-ID: <20150127100908.442166593a12543f3b9b44d0@zagam.net> Some one asked about a Cygwin build of a FORTRAN app. Cygwin is free GPL only if used with free GPL software or not free if you pay for a special license to make non-GPL software. Cygwin allows you to run GNU software on MicroSoft Windoze. Fortran SUBROUTINEs and FUNCTIONs in a FORTRAN program can be resolved at link time from the resulting .o files. However, with modular programming USE and MODULE you need to first make .mod files after first finding their dependencies. This is a good reason for _not_ using USE or MODULE. Old F?RTRAN up to F77+MIL-STD-1753+IEEE-1003.9 and C do not have this problem. These public domain scripts I have used to make a FORTRAN program on Debian. I have thermal simulation FORTRAN under a MPL style license, but have not had time to hack it or package it. This thermal simulation FORTRAN and (Microsoft Visual) C++ is also available under a non-free license. The FORTRAN version builds on GNU with the attached scripts using gfortran. As it does not use OS it may also be built with gfortran on MinGW. (MinGW runtime is public domain so can be used with GPL and non-GPL software. I.e. run your DoS box crap from the 70s and 80s.) UWIN also allows you to run POSIX (Standard rather than Visual C) software on MicroSoft Windoze, but it is _not_ GPL. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-announce/2001/msg00000.html http://www2.research.att.com/~astopen/download/uwin/faq.html I avoid these and other difficulties by not using MicroSoft. I don't have to run a single user fake OS under a fake OS to emulate an OS. The usemod.awk script depends on mawk or gawk, sort, cut and join from coreutils. I assume that you are using GNU make. I am a Unix command line junkie, not a DBA. I also use look -b from bsdmainutils and know how to use umask and chmod. I prefer C to FORTRAN. However, as there is a steam punk theme then F?RTRAN is appropriate. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
