We, MDC Japan Project, are now preparing new bots for MDC.
* document translation status viewer for ‘Firefox 3 ready documents’
* document migration helper for MDC

First one is originally created by Taken for DocFest M24 (Mozilla 24), and latter was used by MDC Japanese Team to migrate documents from Mozilla Japan to MDC. (written at around Mar/07)
We’re planning to set them up before this weekend, so please wait for a while. :)

* 11/4 : KoF (Kansai Open Forum) Pre-meeting at ATC/Osaka
* 11/9-10 : KoF event at ATC/Osaka
* 11/17 : OSC (Open Source Conferernce) at Naha/Okinawa
* 12/1 : macha139 (Security seminar) at Kyoto
* 12/8 : OSC at Fukuoka
* 12/15 (?) : Okayama 3.8m New Technology Telescope Project seasonally meeting at Gifu

i’ve upgraded mozilla-gumi’s some systems.
* forum.mozilla.gr.jp – refactoring continues, update script and templates
* bugzilla.mozilla.gr.jp – maintain some meta-accounts
* www.mozilla.gr.jp – delete old and un-used contents (mainly CGIs)

I’m now trying to upgrade/relocate servers (web, mail, etc..) of our lab, and finished to wake two servers up and relocate the web and mail. So, the next is the DNS, account servers, etc.
And,,, i’ve found many (,, so, so many) bugs and problems on old configuration files during my work.

What do you think the best way to watch the servers?
Nagios like mozilla.org? Hinemos from Japanese IT? or, simply with munin??

Now, back to Japan and Univ.
I’ve worked hard in Hawai’i, but got heavy sun tan, heh :)

Now at Hilo/HI.
Clear sky and clear sea!! Wooo.

…. of cource, i’m working from morning to mid-night in the lab. :)

I found,,, that some parts which we are using with our current electric circuit were marked as EOL. lol
Now, i’m trying to modify schematic with alternatives.

* 7/14 : Okayama Astrophysical Observatory – New Telescope Meeting
* 7/15-16 : Tokyo – Web Standard’s Day (CSS Nite)
* 7/22-8/12 : Subaru Telescope, NAOJ, Hawai’i

I’m planning to go to hawai’i to do my univ work around 7/22 to 8/17.
And now, write many mails to staffs who are working at subaru/hawaii. I’ll try to upgrade our astrophysical instrument for next observation in this trip. Currently, we have some drawbacks to do observation perfectly. We can do of cource, but our instrument have to be upgraded for getting the best data..
Yeah,, you might say that barely one can observe with the perfect performance (not only the instruments,, but also seeing conditions, sky transmission efficiency, high clouds, etc.). But if you are a technician, i hope you’ll understand our challange..

And, I think my response around that period will be slow.. So please wait without haste.

on -ja, -es, -fr, bot seems working properly.
on -en, bot continues failing with trying update Main Page.. failed to detect locked (protected) pages?
on -pl, some undetected errors are occured? continues to retrieve documents over 24 hours..
