Hey all,<div>Thanks again for such an awesome FAD! I think we got a lot of stuff done and I had a great time hearing new views on software, communities, math, logos, etc and hope you all had an equally great time teaching and hacking.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Few things to update, first Jeff's Talk. Fantastic and available</div><div><a href="http://zonion.org/docs/olin/fad/Jeff_Mitchell_FAD-Etherpad-Communities-2010.pdf">as pdf</a></div>
<div>
<a href="http://zonion.org/docs/olin/fad/Jeff_Mitchell_FAD-Etherpad-Communities-2010.odp">as odp</a></div><div>Haven't spoken with Jeff. He sent them with me to share with y'all, so I suspect he'll finalize the slides and share the talk more widely.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Second, I want your blogs. I wrote two posts, and linked them from the wiki.</div><div><a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Etherpad_FAD#Blogging">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Etherpad_FAD#Blogging</a></div>
<div>Those links are feeling lonely, so check them out and add your own.</div><div>Would also love to get pictures.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Speaking of the wiki it current lists things like:</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; ">

</ul></span></font></blockquote><div>I would like to fill in these metrics (how big is the patch, Crawf?)</div><div>If you have other cool metrics (Spots calculated fail-meter for Etherpad Project?) that would be sweet!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Otherwise, the progress moving forward. Packaging of etherpad upstream itself isn't complete. First we need c3p0. Crawf worked some magic and brought that lib up to steam with Java 1.6 ... and then we discovered it has Ant build problems. </div>
<div>Crawf, where is the patch you created?</div><div>DJ/Sam probably are best equipped to figure out why it doesn't build.</div><div>After that, final packaging can commence (<a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Etherpad#Packaging_Etherpad">links</a>) and someone else will have to yell at me about the proper procedure for being accepted into repos, and the images I must burn in effigy to move to EEPL. </div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>But enough, link me your blog posts and pics, and packaging will happen in due time.</div><div>Thanks again, this was really fantastic. I hope a few of you are having fun at CPOSC, I believe Jon is there.</div>

Hello all,<div>Our Hackathon is over and out. Once I'm done yapping with fam in NH and enjoying delicious turkey, I get out a more proper recap. For now, I would like to say thanks to all of you. Solid, hard work from all of you is what got us so far this weekend. And speaking of which, we are 90% of the way to having etherpad packaged.</div>
<div><br></div><div>A few quick accomplishments</div><div>* Packaging of at least 5 dependencies</div><div>* Update to a dependency to make it Java 1.6 compatible and src packageable</div><div>* Conversion from a non-free JSON library to an apache license library</div>
<div>* Removal of some unneeded java libraries</div><div>* Discussion on communities and their upkeep</div><div>* Talk of future applications of Etherpad (embeddable, engine for other purposes)</div><div>* Knowledge sharing on git, packaging, and the Operational Transformation algorithm</div>
<div>* More (lemme know what I've forgotten as I'd like to write it all up)</div><div><br></div><div>Next steps are to get the application itself packaged and figure out a random build hurdle in c3p0. Take a break from Etherpad, though, y'all deserve a break.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Safe travels to you all and we'll be in touch,</div><div><div><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">Colin</span><div><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse"> Olin College '12<br>
