@iancmcc I thought maybe you could just whip up some tasty python code to do that:) I wish we could find them all it's embarrassing
slack is an evolution from the usual "put files in some central directory" that is fairly common practice. It's descended from an earlier system its author also wrote, called "subsets", and uses a multi-stage rsync to fix some of the problems he had there. Basically, it's a glorified wrapper around rsync.

Nice job by @taraspalding and @NetDiva for running the MonitoringForge.org booth at USENIX LISA, totally digging the t-shirts
10gen, a New York database company with some well-known customers and investors, has raised $3.4 million in a second round of funding. The New York company developed MongoDB, an open source database for web applications that’s being used by open source repository SourceForge, commenting startup Disqus, and New York tech news site Business Insider. Companies can run MongoDB on their own servers or using online infrastructure offered by cloud computing providers.

Open source has a role in all types of computing.It has always reduced barriers to entry to a particular platform or programming model. But in cloud computing open source plays a new role - driving the rate of evolution of the infrastructure to match pace with the rate of evolution of an early market.

@heathnewburn I am always sort of fascinated by the existence of travel agents until my airlines website is down for two hours then I get it
Just got a note from my travel agent apparently we got a big upgrade for our vacation to South Africa next week - http://www.lionsands.com/lodges...#fb
What’s now being recognized is that there’s another option. Seek a collective response to a shared problem and make sure no one owns, or can control, the resulting assets. When the assets in question are intellectual property this becomes quite achievable. The solution, therefore, is the creation of collectively-owned assets as opposed to entity-specific assets.
