16:13 _bernie dogi: I've been thinking of a technique to arbitrate edits to sugarlabs.org without stomping on each other.
16:13 dfarning looks like the servers were sent to boston by mistake
16:13 lfaraone dogi: looks like WMF sent the machines destened to RIT to Boston.
16:13 _bernie dogi: can you use git?
16:13 dogi #info - update on the sending of the 12 wikimedia machines
16:14 #info -- 6 boston servers arrived - dogi
16:14 yes in boston there 6 servers
16:14 lfaraone dogi: we have not recieved the other 6 machines here in VA at the ACC, I just checked with my contact there.
16:14 _bernie lfaraone, dogi: we want only 3 machines at rit, right?
16:14 dfarning so we need to either plan on dogi traveling or shipping them to RIT
16:14 lfaraone _bernie: yes.
16:15 _bernie 3 blades may still be a little bit too much for dogi to carry around
16:15 lfaraone dogi: so I'll have to follow up with RobH / someone from wikimedia-tech. They said they'd give us tracking numbers, but I've not seen them yet :/
16:15 dogi lfaraone: dfarning : think i can move them by bus or train ...
16:15 lfaraone _bernie: and we did have 300USD earmarked for shipping.
16:15 dfarning have you had a chance ot look at the machines yet?
