Robin_Watts tor8: Thanks.00:04.07 
  henrys: cool.00:04.28 
sebras Robin_Watts tor8: what was that about a security check? in .us or .uk?00:09.13 
tor8 sebras: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/nov/25/heathrow-chief-gridlock-ukba-strike ?00:10.08 
sebras tor8: aha, strike a strike at heathrow. I'm visiting gatwick tomorrow and stanstead on monday, so I was concerned that it may affect me too, but I guess I'm not. :)00:15.35 
tor8 no, just wednesday. bad timing.00:15.56 
sebras tor8: stansted, argh! why can I never spell that correctly!?00:16.01 
  tor8: for you guys, absolutely.00:16.21 
tor8 well, just me and kens I think00:16.42 
  robin is leaving tuesday00:16.42 
sebras tor8: mmm, mupdfs new wikipedia page is much better.00:21.19 
  tor8: though links from sumatrapdf and some other places should probably be added or the deletionists will remove it.00:22.11 
tor8 sebras: up for a linkifying edit raid?00:24.06 
sebras tor8: sure.00:24.57 
tor8 add it to all the various pdf software lists as well00:25.23 
sebras tor8: I think another editor did that recently.00:26.11 
tor8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:PDF_software00:27.22 
sebras tor8: exactly. fixed sumatrapdf00:30.14 
  tor8: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkymist#Flickernoise this was news to me...00:32.11 
  tor8: I added the link, but the MuPDF reference was already there...00:33.12 
tor8 we should add MuPDF and SumatraPDF to the Open XML Paper Specification page too00:34.24 
sebras what about uploading a mupdf logo?00:35.54 
Robin_Watts beds, hoping that his broadband will miraculously fix itself overnight.00:37.16 
tor8 sebras: I tried, but don't have permission00:40.09 
  sebras: http://mupdf.com/mupdf-logo.png00:40.35 
sebras tor8: I'll try. I've contributed images to sv.wikipedia.org before, so maybe I have permission already.00:41.04 
  tor8: happy with the XPS software category reference?00:42.22 
tor8 sebras: great00:43.00 
sebras tor8: I'm working on the logo.00:47.46 
  tor8: what license should I set for the image?00:50.42 
  tor8: er.. logo.00:50.48 
tor8 fair use00:50.49 
sebras tor8: they will be deleted.00:51.08 
tor8 GFDL then?00:51.41 
sebras tor8: "Logo with only simple text (wordmark)" is one option. probably the best one. agreed??00:51.43 
tor8 it's not though00:51.55 
  there's a picture in there, not just words00:52.06 
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Logos00:53.20 
sebras ah.00:54.16 
  btw, someone has already uploaded the ghostscript logo.00:55.05 
  with _much_ less copyright info.00:55.18 
tor8 put it as non-free, add all the copyright information (artifex software, 2011)00:55.32 
  and if there's a permission field, you have our permission to use it on wikipedia :)00:55.58 
sebras tor8: I know I already wrote that. :)00:56.17 
  tor8: do you know what date you got the file?01:01.50 
  tor8: or should I just give 2011-nov-26?01:02.01 
  tor8: oh and wikipedia commonly uses .svg which is automagically rendered in different resolutions. I guess it is up to you to decide if and .svg should be uploaded instead at a later point.01:03.32 
tor8 sebras: february 2501:04.43 
  I can get you an SVG later. It's in PDF and needs to be cropped and tweaked.01:05.04 
sebras ok.01:05.52 
  tor8: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_tags give me a suitable tag.01:11.10 
  tor8: {{trademarked}}?01:12.05 
tor8 yeah, trademarked01:13.52 
sebras tor8: the logo is now there, but I botched something in the permissionsfield.01:22.45 
tor8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MuPDF.png looks fine to me01:23.53 
  though I would say 'permission' rather than 'request', to maintain the fiction of non-conflict-of-interest ;)01:24.24 
  oh, right, I see the Licensing box.01:26.37 
  it got trapped in my brain's built in adblock 01:26.56 
sebras :)01:27.01 
tor8 "This is an informational tag and not a license tag. A normal copyright tag is required as well."01:27.26 
sebras mmm, unfortunately I must go an move my car (hello parking permissions!) and pack before leaving for .uk tomorrow morning...01:27.51 
tor8 well, we'll see what happens and if it disappears we can reupload an SVG and ask an editor what to do01:28.22 
sebras it will disappear, but hopefully I'll be back from .uk before that... ;)01:29.17 
tor8 sebras: d'oh. trademarked + gpl should suffice :)01:31.24 
  GPLv301:31.30 
  I can't edit though01:32.49 
sebras Ok01:36.01 
  so I write that the logo is part of MuPDF which is licensed under GPLv3..?01:36.19 
  or just tag it?01:36.29 
tor8 tag it, should be enough I think01:37.12 
sebras http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MuPDF.png looks good to me.01:39.02 
  if you want to reveal it we could put the original authors name as well, but I guess that is not necessary.01:39.26 
  BTW, I found a parking space! :)01:39.38 
tor8 weee \o/01:42.07 
sebras alright, so my pedia-editing for mupdf is over for today.01:43.08 
  I bid you farewell for now...02:19.30 
tor8 Robin_Watts: ping12:25.14 
Robin_Watts pong12:45.18 
tor8 I gave BA a ring. They won't do rebookings for flights that are connecting.12:47.51 
Robin_Watts Cos those aren't the ones that matter, oh no.12:48.18 
tor8 indeed...12:48.36 
Robin_Watts Would they not rebook you to fly to london on Tuesday and then on to Miami on Wednesday?12:48.38 
tor8 nope. they wouldn't let me rebook at all because I'm going on to miami.12:49.16 
Robin_Watts Bastards.12:49.26 
  What time does your plane land?12:49.38 
tor8 it's a fairly tight connection. land at noon and fly on at 14.15 12:50.43 
  if I had a 5 hour wait or longer, I wouldn't be as concerned12:51.06 
Robin_Watts You could try to get tickets on the SA501 flight from Copenhagen to Heathrow that lands at 8:45 ?12:52.14 
tor8 that would probably lose me my connecting flight though, as I'd miss the first leg in their database12:52.44 
Robin_Watts yeah. shite.12:52.51 
tor8 inflexible bastards!12:53.01 
Robin_Watts tor8: They may let you pay to change... SAS and BA are partners, right?13:01.11 
tor8 sadly not, SAS is star alliance and BA is oneworld13:02.33 
  and the 'flexible' fares were ridiculously priced this time around.13:03.44
