I don't even know if he's planning to present. (12/05 20:57:01) Handyman Henry: shorah CW (12/05 20:57:06) kamigamo: Tuvaleti kullanabilir miyim ?... (12/05 20:57:24) GoMeDoobes: He PMed me on the forums. I'm waiting for him to pop up. (12/05 20:57:34) Adam {Hoikas}: forearms (12/05 20:57:39) Tom(Samoth): kamigamo, ik weet het niet zeker, maar het zou kunnen dat je gelijk hebt. (12/05 20:57:40) GoMeDoobes: Those too. :P (12/05 20:58:18) Kayara: shorah mTX (12/05 20:58:49) kamigamo: Buraya krokisini cizebilir misiniz ?

(12/05 21:00:52) GoMeDoobes: Hello everyone! Welcome to December's All Guilds Meeting, so the last one of 2015! (12/05 21:01:08) [applause] (12/05 21:01:09) GoMeDoobes: There's a few things to get to today. We'll go as quickly as we can so people wanting to attend the Cavern Tour can do so and not miss too much. (12/05 21:01:14) [applause] (12/05 21:01:20) GoMeDoobes: As always, the easy-to-follow meeting rules: (12/05 21:01:22) [applause] (12/05 21:01:29) GoMeDoobes: 1. Please keep chatter to a minimum while speakers are talking. The occasional small comment or emote is fine, but be respectful. (12/05 21:01:44) GoMeDoobes: (In other words, if someone wanders in saying "HAI EVERYBODY!", please **PM** them a hello back along with a polite "hush") ;) (12/05 21:02:00) GoMeDoobes: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please PM me with it. Be sure a ? is somewhere in it to properly log the question in the queue. (12/05 21:02:24) GoMeDoobes: 3. Speakers: Please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions and when you're ready for the NEXT question. (12/05 21:02:40) GoMeDoobes: 4. If things are running long, we may have to skip questions to keep things moving. If that happens, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage. (12/05 21:03:01) GoMeDoobes: Now then, with all that said, let's get started! (12/05 21:03:16) GoMeDoobes: Please welcome our first group of the day: the Guild of Writers! (12/05 21:03:23) [applause] (12/05 21:03:44) GoMeDoobes: LOL! (12/05 21:03:47) Adam {Hoikas}: very very short today (12/05 21:03:56) [applause] (12/05 21:04:12) Adam {Hoikas}: over the US Thanksgiving holidays, we unleashed a new update tot eh Gehn Shard (12/05 21:04:38) Adam {Hoikas}: Gehn 23 adds in the ability to play the GZ calibration missions and create your own quest games (12/05 21:04:54) Thumbs up from GoMeDoobes (12/05 21:05:09) Adam {Hoikas}: I've heard from our friend, Victor Haxman, that if we get enough CGZMs played, he can reactivate the Great Zero (12/05 21:05:25) janaba gives another thumbsup :-) (12/05 21:05:32) Tai'lahr: (12/05 21:05:39) Adam {Hoikas}: as of three days ago, we were 5% of the way toward reactivating the GZ (12/05 21:05:51) Adam {Hoikas}: he has promised me weekly updates (12/05 21:06:06) Adam {Hoikas}: but as he is a dirty hax, I don't trust that =P (12/05 21:06:20) GoMeDoobes grins (12/05 21:06:24) janaba: lol (12/05 21:06:28) GoMeDoobes: Haaaaaaax. (12/05 21:06:35) Adam {Hoikas}: I'l do my best to keep you updated, and let you know when he's ready to "flip the switch" (12/05 21:06:36) janaba: Bahro's laughing too ;-) (12/05 21:06:43) Adam {Hoikas}: that's all I've got ;) (12/05 21:06:51) Adam {Hoikas}: any questions, GoMeDoobes? (12/05 21:07:08) Handyman Henry: never mind (12/05 21:07:19) GoMeDoobes: Heh, Henry had a question, but changed his mind. :) (12/05 21:07:31) GoMeDoobes: Other than that, none in the queue. Anyone have a question for Hoikas? (12/05 21:07:43) Tom(Samoth): Perhaps I have... (12/05 21:07:48) GoMeDoobes: Go ahead, Tom. (12/05 21:08:01) janaba: well, that means there are many needed to do the calibration rounds, right? (12/05 21:08:18) janaba: there are not many here today to get to know that unfortunately (12/05 21:08:20) Tom(Samoth): What is exact 'recativate? If you can play marker quests, the GZ is arready active? (12/05 21:08:44) GoMeDoobes: There will be the usual chatlog, janaba...in case they missed it. (12/05 21:08:54) Adam {Hoikas}: to have the protractor running in the GZ with the neutrino beam on and working GPS coordinates (12/05 21:09:27) Adam {Hoikas}: any others? (12/05 21:09:32) GoMeDoobes: If you were here for the Gametap era, you'd know how it goes. (12/05 21:09:33) Tom(Samoth): You mean, it is 'on ' but not rotatin? (12/05 21:09:40) janaba: right, Doobes, if they're going to read that (12/05 21:10:12) Adam {Hoikas}: the protactor is currently off and the neutrino beam is nonfunctional. the GZ isn't calibrated well enough to run :( (12/05 21:10:20) GoMeDoobes says DOH! (12/05 21:10:28) Tom(Samoth): ok, now I understand. Thanks! (12/05 21:10:30) Tai'lahr: Some people may have never seen an inactive GZ; they should go help get it started on Gehn. (12/05 21:10:38) Adam {Hoikas}: :) (12/05 21:10:39) GoMeDoobes: Indeed! (12/05 21:10:50) GoMeDoobes: Then you can make your own marker games there as well. (12/05 21:11:06) GoMeDoobes hopes someone makes one for the GoMe Pub :P (12/05 21:11:18) Adam {Hoikas}: Haxman's estimate was that approximately 20% of the active KI base would need to do all of the missions (12/05 21:11:41) Adam {Hoikas}: anything else? (12/05 21:11:53) Christian Walther wonders whether his KI is part of the active base... (12/05 21:12:11) GoMeDoobes: Looks like we're good for now. Thank you Hoikas! (12/05 21:12:14) [applause] (12/05 21:12:17) Adam {Hoikas}: Victor is a crazy math genius. I ask no questions =P (12/05 21:12:18) Adam {Hoikas} bows (12/05 21:12:18) [applause] (12/05 21:12:27) magic joker: Yay (12/05 21:12:27) [applause] (12/05 21:12:48) GoMeDoobes: I'll probably swing over to Gehn Shard myself and ***** around with the GZ. Why not! :D (12/05 21:12:49) [applause] (12/05 21:12:56) Tai'lahr: o.O (12/05 21:12:57) GoMeDoobes: Next up is another familiar group in the open source URU business. (12/05 21:13:05) GoMeDoobes: Please welcome OpenUru.org! (12/05 21:13:07) Adam {Hoikas}: =P (12/05 21:13:09) [applause] (12/05 21:13:32) rarified: Thanks Doobs! Shorah All! (12/05 21:13:43) rarified: I'm going to be fairly brief... (12/05 21:14:13) rarified: As is the usual case with OpenUru much of what we do goes on in the background away from the public spotlight. (12/05 21:14:37) rarified: Early this year Chogon proposed a way to both conserve CAVCON and streamline the process (12/05 21:14:58) rarified: for getting user contributed code (changes to the client) into MOULa. (12/05 21:15:23) rarified: The method he proposed involves some automation of transferring the builds (12/05 21:15:43) rarified: from the Minkata test shard directly into the Cyan MOULa server setup. (12/05 21:16:11) rarified: As usual, RL interruptions placed that project into hibernation, until now. (12/05 21:16:18) GoMeDoobes: Ooo! (12/05 21:16:31) rarified: I was able over the Thanksgiving weekend to complete the automation necessary (12/05 21:16:53) rarified: to deliver server-ready programs to Chogon for quick deployment into MOULa. (12/05 21:17:14) rarified: I can't speak for Chogon as to what "quick" means relative to what we have now, (12/05 21:17:23) janaba: sounds awesome and promising (12/05 21:17:33) janaba: lol (12/05 21:17:34) rarified: but it will definitely save time and effort on his part in getting new versions of MOULa (12/05 21:17:40) rarified: into service. (12/05 21:17:58) rarified: As well as save CAVCON funds for better things. (12/05 21:18:19) rarified: Last night I've produced our first test bundle to be sent to a small staging (12/05 21:18:40) rarified: area in Cyan. This bundle is supposedly exactly the same as what is on MOULa (12/05 21:18:42) rarified: today. (12/05 21:19:05) rarified: I don't know if he will deploy it to MOULa for wider exposure, but (12/05 21:19:27) rarified: the next step will be to push Minkata's current updates into the pipeline (12/05 21:19:44) rarified: Hopefully you will hear something from Chogon soon. (12/05 21:20:05) Handyman Henry: Now THAT is great news (12/05 21:20:08) rarified: In the mean time, (and this is without consulting Christian first :O) (12/05 21:20:10) janaba is amazed! (12/05 21:20:18) GoMeDoobes: Excellent! (12/05 21:20:31) rarified: is the hope that we can get things moving again in adding updates (12/05 21:20:38) rarified: back into MOULa. (12/05 21:20:55) rarified: As has been the case, general open testing I expect will happen on Minkata, (12/05 21:21:15) rarified: and the need for thourough tests is more important than ever before, (12/05 21:21:39) rarified: as *we* will now be the ones to say an update is read (we being you guys (12/05 21:21:44) rarified: who do the testing) (12/05 21:22:06) rarified: So keep your eyes open for announcements both for MOULa as well as Minkata. (12/05 21:22:11) Handyman Henry takes the lump of coal out of Cyan's Christmas stocking and replaces it with a donation (12/05 21:22:12) rarified: Thanks! (12/05 21:22:19) janaba: wonderful!!! that is indeed a mighty step forward :-) (12/05 21:22:26) [applause] (12/05 21:22:28) GoMeDoobes grins (12/05 21:22:29) [applause] (12/05 21:22:33) Christian Walther gives his approval (12/05 21:22:34) [applause] (12/05 21:22:41) GoMeDoobes: Our next question is from mTX17. (12/05 21:22:41) GoMeDoobes: [mTX17] question: user contributed code? what does that mean? would you please explain? (12/05 21:22:44) Mustang Sally: i have no idea what this means. But I expect it is good. (12/05 21:22:44) janaba: lol Handyman (12/05 21:22:53) CaptainQuery hopes soon is SOON! (12/05 21:23:09) rarified: mTX17 and Sally: the user community, primarily programmers from the GoW (12/05 21:23:24) mTX17: ah, okay (12/05 21:23:29) Mustang Sally: ok. (12/05 21:23:29) rarified: have been developing fixes for problems with the existing MOULa client, as well (12/05 21:23:30) Tai'lahr: Sally, it means a more efficient method of getting fan content into MOUla. (12/05 21:23:42) Mustang Sally: Oh great. (12/05 21:23:44) rarified: as improvements to the client (such as cut and paste of messages) (12/05 21:23:48) GoMeDoobes: Fan content, only in the form of improving the game mechanics. ;) (12/05 21:23:55) rarified: This speeds up accepting those changes. (12/05 21:23:57) Tai'lahr: For now. (12/05 21:24:11) rarified: For Fan Content, the same pipeline mechanism is being tried on (12/05 21:24:28) rarified: a trial basis (the clothing changes for example). (12/05 21:24:59) rarified: Content currently can be requested to go directly to Cyan, but I've had a goal (12/05 21:25:15) rarified: of providing test beds on Minkata as well. It's just time. (12/05 21:25:36) rarified: Other questions? (12/05 21:25:41) GoMeDoobes: And with Cyan in the crunch phase of Obduction, it might take a bit of time, yes? (12/05 21:25:50) GoMeDoobes: But hopefully not too much? (12/05 21:26:06) rarified: Mark has been pretty good about answering emails recently, so he may be (12/05 21:26:19) rarified: able to "push the button" on his side without too much work. (12/05 21:26:26) GoMeDoobes: Yay! (12/05 21:26:26) rarified: That was the point of the whole exercise! (12/05 21:26:36) GoMeDoobes: Our next question is from Handyman Henry. (12/05 21:26:37) GoMeDoobes: [Handyman Henry] I've lost my log-in info to the Minkata shard...how do I get it back? (12/05 21:26:37) mTX17 nods his head (12/05 21:26:52) GoMeDoobes: Figured that's an important one for returning explorers. :) (12/05 21:27:10) rarified: I'd suggest sending a bug request to our bug tracker http://bugs.openuru.org (12/05 21:27:44) rarified: But there may be (I have to look to be sure) a link on http://foundry.openuru.org (12/05 21:27:56) rarified: that will allow you to reset your password unassisted if you remember (12/05 21:28:02) rarified: the email address you used to sign up. (12/05 21:28:12) Christian Walther: yep there is a link (12/05 21:28:16) Handyman Henry: okay thanx rarified (12/05 21:28:19) GoMeDoobes: Yep: http://foundry.openuru.org/forms/pwreset.php (12/05 21:28:44) rarified: Any other questions? (12/05 21:29:11) GoMeDoobes: I think we're golden. Thank you rarified! (12/05 21:29:14) [applause] (12/05 21:29:15) Tai'lahr: Thank you for all your hard work on this, rarified. (12/05 21:29:17) rarified: Thanks all! (12/05 21:29:19) [applause] (12/05 21:29:28) janaba: great job, indeed!!! :-) (12/05 21:29:31) [applause] (12/05 21:29:36) Adam {Hoikas} trolls his hands (12/05 21:29:54) rarified sends a ray of sunshine to the trolls (12/05 21:30:00) GoMeDoobes: And so we've come to our last speaker: (12/05 21:30:01) janaba: lol (12/05 21:30:06) GoMeDoobes: ME! (12/05 21:30:12) [applause] (12/05 21:30:15) GoMeDoobes: As in me me, not the Me character from Doctor Who. :P (12/05 21:30:19) CaptainQuery bows (12/05 21:30:21) [applause] (12/05 21:30:27) Kayara starts to laugh (12/05 21:30:29) GoMeDoobes: A few facts have been brought to my attention. Yes, this does happen from time to time. ;) (12/05 21:30:37) GoMeDoobes: The first is that this is the **68th** All Guilds Meeting! (12/05 21:30:46) janaba: wow!!! (12/05 21:30:50) mTX17 throws confetti (12/05 21:30:50) Tai'lahr: Wowza. (12/05 21:30:52) Adam {Hoikas} trolls his hands, whoops, hollars, etc (12/05 21:30:57) GoMeDoobes: The very first event, then known as the "Guild Interest Weekend", was on April 3rd and 4th, 2010. (12/05 21:31:06) Tom(Samoth): so still 32 to go for celebration... (12/05 21:31:10) GoMeDoobes: This means that, this April, we will have had SIX years of the AGM! Just two months younger than MOULa itself. (12/05 21:31:30) rarified marvels (12/05 21:31:35) GoMeDoobes: Second: as of last October, I myself have been hosting the AGM for three of those nearly six years. I took things over from Leonardo officially on October 6th, 2012. (12/05 21:32:01) GoMeDoobes: As you know, my schedule as of late has been erratic at best. This has caused me to consider my future as AGM moderator. (12/05 21:32:14) GoMeDoobes: It is for this reason that I will be stepping down as official moderator of the All Guilds Meeting, effective after this meeting. (12/05 21:32:29) Tai'lahr: Awwww (12/05 21:32:29) Tom(Samoth): Oh no! (12/05 21:32:31) janaba: I knew this (12/05 21:32:34) Heart: :( (12/05 21:32:35) tkol17 is sad (12/05 21:32:36) janaba: somehow lol (12/05 21:32:37) magic joker is sad (12/05 21:32:39) mTX17 is sad (12/05 21:32:40) GoMeDoobes: But have no fear!
