erik

  • IE 6 CSS support for tags
  • Found a little hole in the HTML5 spec or W3C's validator where hidden inputs aren't labelable. Talked to the validator authors and ended up opening a spec bug: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10146
  • Explored memcaching for tags. django-cache-machine will need significant work on many-to-many and generic foreign key invalidation to make this feasible.
  • Implemented creation of new tags.
  • Improved visual feedback when applying tags: happens faster and folds case client-side.
  • Turned up a jQuery bug where autocomplete treats vocabulary entries as HTML for menu-drawing but text in the input box. Bad for XSS. Reported, and it's fixed: http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/5275.
  • Started on question-editing.
  • My favorite summit moment had to be jumping in an alpine lake on a whim. Last music was Right Now. Yay, DRM-free Amazon tracks.

jbalogh

  • More of remora in zamboni (search-tools, reviews, collections)
  • Removing invalidation in cache-machine to make z 2-5x faster
  • Logging timing info on every request
  • Playing with redis and mongodb for amo
  • Summit: Saturday: mountain biking, ropes course, running, swimming in the lake
  • Music: One Day as a Lion

josh

  • Progress with Inko (Live Chat)
    • Now with more chatting! Reference implementation for both Agent and Guest are working.
    • Server supports most of the agent-guest interaction requirements.
    • Group chat, room monitors, some administrative controls still in the works.
  • More bugs for SUMO 2.2
  • Favorite part of Summit? Probably the Friday night party, but the whole thing was a lot of fun.

jsocol

  • Working to get SUMO 2.2 frozen.
  • Started a couple little ideas:
    • django-csp a small bit of middleware to inject the CSP headers. Needs work to actually be configurable.
    • Something called django-pulse or django-heartbeat, it's very early, but it's a way to hook up various signals to LegNeato's Mozilla Pulse.
  • Oh, and I moved to New York. Looking for apartments now.
  • Last music: The new BSS.
  • Favorite Summit Moment: The Labs/WebDev/IT mashup was the most useful, but getting kicked out of Wil's room was probably the best.

laura

  • Following up on all the Summit stuff took a chunk of last week
  • At OSCON this week learning all about Hadoop and Python. Talking Thursday about Declaring Technical Bankruptcy (when to rewrite vs just refactor)
    • I learned Hbase isn't appropriate for production :P
    • Also, Hbase vs RDBMS moves effort back from the hardware to the programmer
