01:42:25 dncarreira: hello. I have a question regarding the wiki and attachments. Are there any rules regarding file sizes?
01:45:38 wildintellect: there's probably a cap on size, though I'm not sure what it's set at
01:45:53 wildintellect: what kind of file/size did you want to upload?
01:46:29 dncarreira: it's a workshop for a local chapter
01:46:37 dncarreira: it's around 20mb
01:48:10 wildintellect: That might actually be better to put into the EDU svn

01:57:49 dncarreira: I seeyour point.
01:58:05 dncarreira: but we would like a direct download link next to other references

08:07:35 : * pramsey snortles at the io joke.
08:07:59 crschmidt: settling down a bit now
08:08:14 crschmidt: load average is still 6
08:08:16 crschmidt: but not 30
08:08:26 crschmidt: and low wait state
08:08:50 crschmidt: pramsey: seem better?
08:09:10 crschmidt: ( not that it could be worse )
08:09:39 pramsey: yep, can see things now
08:10:52 crschmidt: So yeah, usually I can blame internal forces
08:11:01 crschmidt: but this one was just a large load spike

11:23:43 Briggs: is there a way to get detailed logging about what specific updates are failing when reading an s57 file via OGR?
11:23:53 Briggs: ( ie the layer, LNAM, ect )
11:24:08 crschmidt: might try asking in #gdal
11:24:15 Briggs: ahh danke
12:25:13 ChrisGo: anyone know if there is a chan for fdotoolbox?
12:25:45 FrankW: ChrisGo: I would suggest just asking in #fdo.
13:01:47 jasonbirch: ChrisGo: no, but Jackie started a Google Group for it recently.
13:03:48 jasonbirch: The #mapguide and #fdo channels aren't all that... um... vital. Community composition problem ( less hackers, more ... )
17:58:30 FrankW: crschmidt: with regard to signed documents, are you suggesting that a fax is somehow distinct from a scanned document in digital form?
18:06:00 crschmidt: FrankW: No, sorry; primarily, I'm distinguishing between actually having a signature and just having an "I agree" in text.
18:06:15 FrankW: ok
18:06:23 FrankW: I understand those to be distinct too.
18:06:34 : * crschmidt is sleepy and not entirely clear
18:10:28 w0lfie_: anecdotal, but I know some journals/etc don't accept electronic releases for publishing
18:10:45 w0lfie_: ( for the copyright aspect of it )
