SSHing into willow doesn't work; SSH apparently doesn't think my key
would be accepted by willow. I logged into willow three hours ago and
it worked fine. Anyone else seeing issues?
Is this a side effect of the maintenance?

What filled it up was /var/log/sudo-io. It creates 5 files for every time sudo
is used.
I once had a loop running including a sudo command - this might have caused the
problem since nightshade is far away from this usage of inodes.
Tried to log into syslog which works but the directory itself stays there and
is used so I dont currently have any idea how to turn this off.

For all Amsterdam hackathon attendees
We've made a first draft of the programme for the Amsterdam Hackathon. We
have room for 6 workshops which will be run twice over the course of the
Hackathon.
Which topics should we cover in them? Based on your motivations, we've made
a list of the top 8 topics that seem to be of interest. Please take a look
at the page and let us know which topics you'd be most interested in:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Hackathon_2013/Topics
For some of these workshops we're still looking for presenters. Are you
interested? Let us know! (hackathon(a)wikimedia.nl)
Think you could fill a 1h (interactive) workshop for one of these topics,
but you're not sure? I'll help you create a workshop and help you practice
beforehand.

OKCon is the annual conference for Open Knowledge (Foundation),
17th-18th September 2013, Geneva, Switzerland. It was called "OKFest"
last year. It's a well-attended and well-organized conference for anyone
interested in open knowledge, sharing, open hacking, etc.
Opportunities for Wikimedia lighting talks, workshops, etc.:
- Wikipedia Zero (see Open Development & Sustainability track)
- Analytics and open data (see Technology, Tools & Business)
(UserMetrics API? privacy? Limn?)
- SOPA/PIPA and related activities (see Evidence & Stories)
- Hack events: use their hackspace. Teach folks to make bots,
gadgets, apps, and Lua templates. Get user testing from other
open culture advocates and learn what tools they need.
This conference is eligible for subsidy of travel costs -- see
Participation Support
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Participation:Support to put in your
request.
Thanks to Sarah Stierch for the heads-up.

This bounce alone makes me sad ... is it really necessary to have another
list?

I've noticed some irregularity in job execution through SGE over the past
few days. Currently it seems several queues are either disabled or in an
error state.
Is this expected? Is there an easy way to get an idea about how many jobs
are queued and how quickly they're executed, in other words how to predict
when a certain job might be run? Or maybe this is just a temporary issue
that'll get resolved shortly?
Cheers,
Morten
Hello all,
until now I had the impression that we (you, the authors, and me) fight
together against WMF and WMDE for keeping the Toolserver and against Labs.
Some mails and discussion in the last days gives me now the impression that
this was wrong and (at least some of) you are eager to leave the toolserver as
soon as possible.
There is no point to beg the WMDE for new hardware and to invest much more
time if 2 weeks after Labs is "ready" the toolserver will be empty. For this
reason I created a survey at [1] that starts at midnight. Please take a moment
of your time and place your nick in the section that suits you.
Sincerely,
DaB.
