here's an update regarding ATEN tech activities...

the 2 issues currently identified on the top of the list for timebank functionality are the following:

(1) "new whitelist activation role"
     https://github.com/oscurrency/oscurrency/issues/131

(2) "preference for results per page"
     https://github.com/oscurrency/oscurrency/issues/111

as everyone on the list probably knows, ATEN is in the midst of a transition to use wordpress as the main public page which will link to the timebank.  you can see the work-in-progress here:

also, there's a really good event this thursday evening at b.d. riley's pub on 6th st. relevant to the timebank:

hope to see you there!  i'm looking forward to it.  effaustin has really been doing great work lately.

finally, fyi, email notifications for forum posts are not working right now.  i hope to have some time this week to fix this.

cheers,
tom

issue #131 is closed and deployed.

we have a staging server if anyone needs to test anything without worrying about consequences to the data (however, if you perform an action that results in an email notification to be sent to someone, an email will be sent to that person, so try to avoid that - if there's enough interest in using the staging server, we should consider starting the data from scratch):

sandy stone's talk at eff-austin was great! here's a pic (ben on the left):

some of us took a field trip afterward to check out the freedom tower wireless access point on the city hall plaza. i took some pics:
