Apr 29 18:26:42 Major edits for different versions of Maemo didn't help. Apr 29 18:26:59 but which is the purpose...

Apr 29 18:51:56 can't wait... Apr 29 18:55:32 I hope for a clear majority voting for yes Apr 29 19:04:00 has anybody tried running bittorrent sync on n900? Apr 29 19:04:20 as far as I understand it does not need any dependencies Apr 29 19:04:23 so should be fine Apr 29 19:04:28 but I worry about cpu usage Apr 29 19:10:44 cpu usage? Apr 29 19:10:46 please Apr 29 19:10:54 the cpu usage is dwarfed by the battery usage Apr 29 19:13:15 DocScrutinizer05: guess we're all hoping... probably have a last call in the referendum + news aggregator threads? Apr 29 19:15:27 kerio: well, I did not understand you :) Apr 29 19:15:40 I think users are already annoyed by too many calls and mails and votes and stuff to follow that doesn't really interest them Apr 29 19:15:47 Sysaxed: data transfer sucks on the n900 Apr 29 19:15:49 sucks battery, that is Apr 29 19:16:48 yeah, but when it's already synced and no data transfer required, what is going to happen? Apr 29 19:16:58 how often would it try to search for updates Apr 29 19:17:00 and so on Apr 29 19:25:17 what does one mean by bittorrent sync? just doing a hash check? why would it need to do updates? Apr 29 19:27:27 oh... n/m something different than regular bittorrent... Apr 29 19:30:05 ecc3g: yeah, it is something similar to dropbox Apr 29 19:46:43 not really Apr 29 19:47:09 it's an automatic rsync between devices Apr 29 20:18:13 guess it's to late for a vote token, right? Apr 29 21:47:15 n900-dk: nope Apr 29 21:48:13 if your garage email is correct, you might receive it even in time for referendum still Apr 29 21:48:30 if your garage email *been* correct Apr 29 21:51:27 you corrected a valid sentence into a gramatically incorrect incomprehensible one... Apr 29 23:52:15 so we'll see voting-results in ~10 mins? ::really curious:: Apr 30 00:03:44 http://maemo.org/vote/votes.php?election_id=30 Apr 30 00:04:57 one NO vote Apr 30 00:05:16 no... Apr 30 00:06:40 82 votes total if I counted correctly Apr 30 00:07:32 thats rather poor... Apr 30 00:07:40 yup... to be fair, one of the 4 "no vote" votes was me, nuking a bad token. Apr 30 00:07:41 hmm yes Apr 30 00:07:55 Well, not super bad. Half of last year's MCC vote. Apr 30 00:08:15 gotta go. :) Have fun! :) Apr 30 00:08:25 well, "bad token" as in "who's HiFo?" Apr 30 00:10:08 at least its a clear result and we can move on. Apr 30 00:24:44 DocScrutinizer05; btw, if you think maemo/hifo is nightmare, I just attended AGM of my ISP. The board members outnumbered non-board members by a factor of 2. No previous info had been given about the changes to the rules the board wanted changed Apr 30 00:25:06 etc :) Apr 30 00:26:04 .. and we authorized the board to continue outsourcing stuff to companies owned by various board members ... Apr 30 00:26:37 :) Apr 30 00:32:47 oh, nice Apr 30 00:32:59 :-D Apr 30 00:47:52 also, the board suggested the existing rule limiting board membership to 6 consecutive years should be removed Apr 30 00:49:48 well, no such rule in maemo Apr 30 00:56:58 * RST38h moos Apr 30 00:58:44 RST38h: *now* you show up. with a lame excuse why you weren't able to vote ;-P Apr 30 01:12:08 RST38h: in ~23h you get another chance :-D Apr 30 01:49:24 Doc: I have no lame excuses. After all, I am a cow! Apr 30 01:49:44 But, to be deadly serious, I see no reasonto vote any more =( **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Apr 30 02:59:58 2013
