[03:51] "Archive Team News" on the main page seems to be very outdated or wasn't there any project last year? [04:09] the wiki isn't really kept up to date [04:09] you're welcome to fix that if you'd like to [04:13] see http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Current_Projects&action=history. you can't edit the main page however [04:16] the IRC section was broken off into a template where people that aren't SketchCow can edit it [04:17] why not do the same thing for the news thing and the recently ended projects area? [04:17] hell, the one in the IRC section is redundant with the exception of "missed the mark" [06:14] is quitpic finished now [06:14] did we get all of it [09:23] Emcy: no and no [09:23] what did we miss. The tracker says 0 jobs remaining [09:24] it's paused [09:24] iirc [11:00] I don't know if anything needs to be done about it or not, but to make sure let me mention that Panoramio is going to be closed down, and parts of it will be migrated to Google Maps Views. Some community features (comments, favourite photographers and groups) will be lost. [11:00] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panoramio [11:00] Bye. [11:37] Panoramio shutting down? [11:39] Shouldn't be too hard to save [11:39] At least the images won't, looks like they are just numbered, not randomly numbered [11:39] I have to go in a bit, but when I'm back I'll start working on a project [11:44] I can't find a lot of information about the shutdown though [11:46] I've just thought about what would happen if imgur ever shut down... [11:48] That really wouldn't be good [11:52] this seems to be the oldest photo there (or at least the smallest id): http://www.panoramio.com/photo/15 [12:09] I'm back in a few hours. will be working on panoramio then. [12:09] The project will likely start tomorrow [12:17] Arkiver2: maybe the Wikipedia article is a good starting point, there are some links to follow. [12:18] They say that the photos will (? all?) be migrated to the Maps. [12:19] And we talk about 80 million photos [12:19] so I don't know if they must be saved. [12:19] People who protest against this act of Google worry about the community things like forums, millions of comments, friends etc. [12:27] This seems to be the initial announcement: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/panoramio-questions-support/vTsUTaW_EDo [12:27] panoramio was cool [12:27] comments being lost is bad [12:27] people have neat stories about their pictures [12:27] and this seems to be a good sum-up of what is going to happen: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/panoramio-questions-support/R5toz0EAB8k [12:28] the shutdowns seem to be coming faster dont they [12:28] i suppose its true that the web really is consolidating into about 10 websites [12:30] This is an analysis from cnet: http://www.cnet.com/news/google-to-axe-panoramio-photo-sharing-service-move-to-views/ [12:32] And an article about the founders' protesting: http://www.cnet.com/news/panoramio-founders-try-persuading-google-not-to-kill-site/ [12:55] Sorry to bother you all. I had a question about uploading to archive.org. I have some websites archived (not in warc unfortunately) that I want to upload. They are several hundred GBs in size, compressed. [12:55] So my question is, once I have uploaded them are they safe forever on archive.org? I know it's bad practice but I really need to free up my hard drive space, so I was hoping to be able to delete my local copies once they have been uploaded to archive.org [12:56] I've never done this before, sorry if it is a dumb question [12:56] Thanks for your help! [12:59] n00b830: If you upload to archive.org, that's a good thing. [12:59] If you can keep another copy of it, that's even better. But if you can't, you don't have to, of yourse. [13:00] As far as I know, there is a mirror of the Internet Archive in Egypt. [13:01] And anyone can download content uploaded to archive.org, and, say, keep a copy of their favourite website. [13:02] Furthermore, some hundreds of gigabytes won't mean so much amount 10 years later, than it means now. So it will be even simpler to store. [13:03] Okay, thank you! I have another question if that is okay? Since the file size is so big I don't really fancy trying to upload it via a web browser. Is there a ftp way to upload to archive.org? [13:04] n00b830, there's a list of tools here: http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Internet_Archive#Uploading_to_archive.org [13:07] Thank you, I will look into that [13:07] Thanks everyone for the help and advice! [16:22] Emcy: I'll do my best to save the comments ;) [16:30] Arkiver2 cool. If its a warrior project ill help [17:01] garyrh: thanks for creating the wiki page for panoramio! [17:01] I'm working on the scripts [17:01] They will be ready soon [18:50] So let's think of a channel name for panoramio [18:51] panorunaway [18:51] nah that sucks [18:51] My first thought was paranoimo for some reason [18:52] paranormio [19:12] addiopanoramio [19:12] deletio [19:13] removio [19:15] panoraddio [19:24] paranormio is awesome [19:24] so is addiopanoramio [19:33] is panoramio closing? [19:33] yes [19:33] weird [19:33] I wonder if they'll restore Wikimedia Commons in maps now :) [19:34] Ah, no, the opposite :[ «Google announced they would be "migrating" Panoramio over to Google Maps» [19:38] So do we have a deadline date? [19:43] Evan Rapoport: "Before migrating any imagery, we’ll make sure that Views reaches a level of feature maturity that supports the needs of the community. We're not there yet, but we’re actively working to address the problems we’ve heard from the community" [19:43] Brian McClendon: "As we migrate to Views, which is a very new product, I assure you we will not do so until we believe the communities needs are met." [19:43] So, no specific. [19:46] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2014-October/007370.html [19:46] I'd support an "export my stuff from Panoramio to Commons" feature [20:25] ---------------------------------------------- [20:25] All Archive Team members hereby invited by me [20:25] https://ia801401.us.archive.org/34/items/LibraryBuildingInvitation/LibraryBuildingInvitation-nolink.html [20:25] ---------------------------------------------- [20:31] Oh wow, awesome! I wish I could come... :( [21:27] I would be there in a heartbeat, if I wasn't clear across the country [22:25] I would be there in a heartbeat, if I weren't on a different continent and probably on some kind of list that'd get me arrested the moment I set foot in the US [22:25] lol [22:29] joepie91: easy fix there; never set foot in the US -- go the IA event on a Segway [22:34] Just levitate; or have you heard of anyone floating being arrested? [22:37] Levitate AND use a Segway [22:38] garyrh: http://revolutionmedia.ign.com/revolution/image/article/673/673861/n-query-20060131101930581.jpg
