Hey,
I'll be present at FOSDEM 2010, and I'm willing to help out with MediaWiki related talks.
I've also submitted a request for a lightning talk a while back. This one will be about (if it gets accepted) my Maps and Semantic Maps extensions.
If a devroom is allocated for MW talks, it'd me nice to have an SMW presentation, which if no one else feels like giving it, I'm willing to do.
Cheers

Forwarding a post with a call for developer rooms at FOSDEM 2010 (2010-02-06
to 2009-02-07). Last year we made a request for a dev room and it was denied.
A question and a proposal, in case the question is to be answered with 'yes':
Q: Would we like MediaWiki to be present at FOSDEM 2010?
P: I would like to try and make a proposal with other CMS projects (like
Joomla, Drupal, Typo3, Wordpress, etc.) for a dev room. Reason for not
applying for a "MediaWiki dev room' is that I expect that this will not be
honored because it has too tight a scope. I spoke to one of the people of the
program committee last year, and I was advised to find a broader scope.
Alternatively we could request a dev room with other wiki engines (tikiwiki,
docuwiki, etc.). Personally I have no preference on which projects we would
cooperate with, just as long as we will make a proposal that will get us the
best chance to have a presence at FOSDEM 2010. Open to suggestions...
Additionally, I would like a reply from people interested in coordination of
the talks in this event. In case we would get a dev room together with the
other CMS/wiki projects, I would expect that we would have slots for ~4 talks
on MediaWiki, and possibly one or two talks in cooperation with the other
projects on common problems/solutions/whatever.
As stated below, if we want to have a chance at getting a dev room, we need to
submit a proposal before 2009-11-22. IMO this means that we have to reach
consensus on our course of action within a week, so we can get into contact
with the other projects we would like to participate with for our request.
Reply clearly, reply quickly.
Cheers!
Siebrand

Subject: [FOSDEM] News : Call For Developer Rooms
A *devroom* is a room in which projects can organize their own schedule made
of presentations, brainstorming and hacking sessions. Our goal is to
stimulate developer collaboration and cross-pollination between projects, and
as such we strongly favor projects with similar goals and domains to host a
devroom together.
*Distribution projects:* As every year we only have a limited number of
rooms, yet every year more and more individual distributions request a
Developer Room at FOSDEM. We do not want to have to choose between them, but
instead push our mission of a collaboration platform and cross-pollination
even further. We will host mixed distribution rooms where talks and sessions
will be organized *by topic*. Contributors from all distributions are welcome
to join in order to participate, attend, propose topics and sessions. To do
so, please subscribe to the distro mailinglist [1].
.... What we offer:
* a room on Saturday and/or Sunday,
* a video projector (with VGA cable)
* power (C/E plugs)
* wired (RJ-45) network with Internet access at the speaker's desk,
* best-effort shared wireless Internet access (a and b),
* publication of the schedule on the FOSDEM website, including speaker bios
and talk abstracts.
.... Conditions for requests:
* preference for requests with a general topic, eg. from projects with
similar goals/domains,
* be involved in Free or Opensource Software (the projects produce and
release software under an opensource license or otherwise contributes to
opensource activities and communities),
* send us a devroom request before 2009-11-22 as described below,
Distribution talks are organized collectively on the distro mailinglist [2].
Others can request a devroom by submitting the form below. For further
questions, contact devrooms(a)fosdem.org [3].
The number of available rooms is limited so the FOSDEM organization will
select the proposals that can get a devroom.
*Key Dates:*
2009-11-22: Deadline for devroom requests
2009-11-29: Acceptance notification of devrooms
2010-02-06 to 2009-02-07: FOSDEM 2010

I've seen a lot of new faces in the commit list, but I don't remember
them getting announced here like we usually do :)
Main concern is making sure they've all got USERINFOs and are
signed up on mw.org (so they get followup e-mails).

Hi,
I want to use the new Upload-API. I have seen that I cannot upload per URL
to Commons because I (my bot) haven't the
upload_by_url right. So I change my tool to the file argument:
$new_file = <Name of the target file>;
$url = <URL of the source file>;
$desc = <Description>;
$filename = <Name of the source file>;
$this->server = 'commons.wikimedia.org';
$connect = fsockopen ($this->server, 80, $err_num, $err_str, 10);
$token = $this->get_token();
$file = file_get_contents( $url );
$query = "POST
/w/api.php?format=php&action=upload&filename=".urlencode($new_file)."&token=
".urlencode($token)."&file=".urlencode($filename)."&comment=".urlencode($des
c)." HTTP/1.1
Host: ".$this->server."
Cookie: ".$cookies."
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7)
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
Content-Length: ".strlen($file)."
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"".$filename."\";
filename=\"".$filename."\"
".$file."
\r\n\r\n";
fputs ($connect,$query);
But now I get this error: array(1) { ["error"]=> array(2) { ["code"]=>
string(12) "missingparam" ["info"]=> string(69) "One of the parameters
sessionkey, file, url, enablechunks is required" } }
What is wrong?
Viele Grüße

Hi! I'm working on the FlaggedRevs stuff, and would like to get the
configs for every site using it.
Right now I'm working with Howie -- a usability expert -- to make a list
of all the use cases and affected interfaces. That's no problem for the
English site, which we presume will be like the current labs site. But
when we were in the offices last week, Brion showed me a substantial
list of sites using the FlaggedRevs extension. I know the German
configuration is importantly different, but have no idea about the rest.
Does anybody know where that list of FlaggedRevs sites is? And what's
the best way for me to get copies of the site configs so I can see how
they're using FlaggedRevs?
My shell-fu is good, so I'm glad to go digging; I just don't know where
to start, or what access I might need.
Thanks,
William
As you may or may not know, most queries involving LIKE clause are broken
on SQLite backend.[1] As a measure to fix it, I'm planning to replace
all LIKEs with a function call that will provide the needed abstraction.
However, I would like it to be convenient to use and provide automatic
protection against SQL injection, so instead of something like
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE field' . $db->like($db->escapeLike($text) . '%')
I'd rather prefer Mr.Z-man's idea of
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE field' . $db->like($text, MATCH_STRING )
The example patch is at [2], but there is a problem: due to PHP's duck typing,
you can have tough times in telling a string to be encoded from a
constant that indicates '%' or '_' placeholders. There are a few
possible solutions:
* Even comparing with === can't provide enough guarantee for integer
constants.
* We could use tricky float constants such like 3253427569845.236156471,
as suggested by Aryeh Gregor, but it looks rather hackish.
* Alternatively, there could be something like Database::asterisk()
that would return unique objects.
Can there be a better way of doing that? And which variant of constant
names would you prefer: Mr.Z-man's original LIKE_UNDERSCORE/LIKE_PERCENT,
MATCH_CHAR/MATCH_STRING proposed by me, or something else?
Please opine.
