Confabio Development Channel

In order to make development more smooth we’ve set up an IRC Channel for the development team. Last.fm also does this and I really like it. Every sunday we will have a coding session and production release:

* time: 1200 CET, every Sunday
* server: irc.darkwired.org
* port: 9999 (ssl)
* channel: #confabio

Ofcourse we want to start doing those coding sessions on Confabio once we get a nice premium version rolling. But for now, I’ve hacked [this nifty IRC bot](http://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2007/01/02/a-ruby-eval-bot-for-irc-kirby/) which can monitor SVN commits. I also gave it the ability to: SSL connect and monitor production deploys (pop me an email for the sourcecode):

To make the development of Confabio as a service and business more lively I will start preparing an online boardroom of some kind. The key concept here is *Open Source Business*, that means that basically everyone who clocks hours and commits results will get a ownership according to their effort. I really like to make this open, because it will show the outside world what’s going on. More about this later.

Today’s release:

* get an XML list of users, their locations and meetings:


* or by clicking:

* Flash video bugfixes: camera will be remembered based on first motion detection, special hack for macbooks so that the proper camera is chosen.
* IE6 compatibility hacks (the old balls n chains)
