SR has removed some build targets and components from the makefile, which means I can now build P5 without errors, but some of the issues will need to be handled at some point -- for instance, the error in building the PDF is due to the need for TeX Live 2010, whereas current Ubuntu versions are stuck at 2009. Still working on a detailed plan for creating a clone Jenkins machine, for which we'll need to solve all these problems. Here's some bits from email for the record (our suggested plan and SR's responses):

 -Start with an Ubuntu 10.04 headless server install.
  
   -Install the Oracle JDK.
  
   -Install Tomcat (any particular version? Latest? What's in repos?).
doesnt matter, version 6 or 7 latest

  
   -Install Jenkins from here:
     http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/
  
   -Install Tex Live 2010 from here:
     http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html
  
   -Follow these instructions to get a working build setup:
     http://hcmc.uvic.ca/blogs/index.php?blog=15&p=8081
  
Jenkins will do its own checkout, so no need for some of that

   -???Profit?
pleasure

  
  I'm pretty sure we'll also have to install some extras (fonts and the 
  like),

Made the following changes to some site content based on advice from the French team:

• "Allusions/Notes" is now simply "Index".
• The default style is "Pelouse".
• Superscripts in editorial introductions have been reconfigured using CSS so that they no longer have any impact on line-spacing. "vertical-align: superscript;" was replaced with "position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex;". I have not made this change in any anthology documents, although we may do that if it proves worthwhile. There are 31 instances of the use of "vertical-align: superscript" in the text_original collection.
• Mentions of genres on the home page have been linked to their respective TOC pages.

Other changes are pending after some discussion.

JS-R needed to add the full property information to the transactions view, so I've added a new view:

DROP VIEW IF EXISTS VW_trans_composite_eth_prop;

CREATE VIEW VW_trans_composite_eth_prop AS

This takes even longer to generate than the original, unfortunately.

At the end of the day, NVivo froze while shutting down. This meant that none of the day's changes were written to disk, because apparently it stores them up and writes them at the end of the session. We found a .tmp file in docs and settings -- can't remember the exact path, but it was named like the actual data file -- and this turned out to be a complete copy of the altered data, with the exception that the dates of recent changes had not been recorded. Backed up the original day-old file as "...last known good", then copied the tmp file over to the original filename, and everything should be good to go, but when M comes in next, she should have a good look to make sure nothing else has been lost.

NVivo data loss emergency at the end of the day...

Earlier in the week I received new and revised materials for many of the historical Spanish 100 exam exercise collections. I've now processed and uploaded all the new material, as well as fixing some discrepancies in style for titling of various pages and exercises, fixing a couple of broken links, and rewriting an old index page that was not in the house style. All currently pending work is now done on this, but RLS has more in store for the future.

INSERT INTO occupation (occupation_description, occupation_code) VALUES 
('Pool Romm Attendant', '59990'),
('Setter', '81275'),
('Lamp Fitter', '87330'),
('General Finisher', '99999');

INSERT INTO "location" VALUES (84, 'BC', 'British Columbia', '13', 'Victoria City', '5', 'Central Park', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '1911', NULL, NULL); 

Points from the meeting:

• All required network ports are turned on, and will be switched over to the conference VLAN the day before the conference.
• T-shirts are printed, and look good. They're stashed in HCMC.
• Signage: we've agreed on 10 outdoor signs, and we'll circulate a map to agree on where to place them. We'll have to get them printed on something vaguely waterproof; Zap can do that. Indoor signs we'll handle ourselves. MDH will circulate a map next week, and design a generic sign, which we can customize once we know the locations.
• No response from Walmart on phones yet. The phone issue is looking very complicated and expensive, so we resolved not to worry about it; we'll ensure that the two volunteers without phones are next to volunteers who do have them. There are also courtesy phones dotted around the buildings; we can check on the nearest ones from our presentation rooms.
• The splitter issue for PCs is being dealt with. AV have at least three splitters; HCMC has one; and HCMC also has some old graphics cards that might help. If we don't find enough solutions, we can rent splitters from Sharps.
• Video streaming: just streaming over a regular ethernet connection is not likely to be successful, so GN will investigate with AE the possibility of getting the relevant ports switched to a system which can handle the traffic. For audio, AE will also investigate getting a feed from the PA in Bob Wright A104; in the dining room, the best option might be a shotgun mic, which AE can provide. I've written to MS to get details of the camera he's bringing.
• The rented Mac laptops solve one problem for us, but create another: security. We devised a plan for storing them securely during lunchtimes and overnight.
• Temporary ids for wifi logon will be provided as a spreadsheet, which we can print, cut up, and have the registration folks distribute.
• CC will check with Cad Commons to see if we can get keys to lock the presentation rooms (e.g. during lunch), and whether we can also get a key for the little storage room in (we think?) Queenswood.
• For training sessions next week:
  • Sessions are in A010.
  • PF will make sure that there's at least one PC that's similar to what will be used for the conference rooms available.
  • CC will attend, and will bring a Mac laptop and a dongle for it.
  • MDH will also bring a Windows laptop (and Linux).
  • We will collect: phone numbers and emails of volunteers, and dates/times when they're not available.
  • We will distribute: key emergency phone numbers (HCMC, AV, MDH, GN, Help desk, ???).
  • We'll have them hook up and unhook PC and Mac a few times, and deal with some obvious problems.
  • We will take the volunteers to look at the rooms in Clearihue and in Cad Commons.
