Re: [CODE4LIB] SVN/Mercurial hosting

[Gabriel Farrell]

I use Google Code with Mercurial.  It took a little while to adjust to
an issue-tracking system other than Trac, but I'm generally happy with
it.

[CODE4LIB] hotel reservation link working again

[Kevin S. Clarke]

Hi all,

Some reported that the hotel link stopped working (i.e., wouldn't let
them book a room on the Sat. after the conference).  I reported it to
the hotel and it's now been fixed.  The URL that works for booking
your room is:

http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/avlbr-renaissance-asheville-hotel/?toDate=2/28/10&groupCode=wcuwcua&fromDate=2/20/10&app=resvlink

http://bit.ly/68h05u (shortened)

If you have any trouble booking your room, let me know.  Also, I'll
remind folks in Jan. as we approach the point where the hotel will
release our rooms to the general public.  I'll also update the wiki
with the above URL.

Thanks!
Kevin

Re: [CODE4LIB] ipsCA Certs

[Walker, David]

I see now that I'm looking at the intermediate certificate.  The root does 
expire in 2009.

Nevermind. :-)

Hi John,

I also got this email. We also recently installed an ipsCA wildcard cert for a 
test EZProxy install.

Looking at the details of our ipsCA wildcard certificate in Firefox, though, I 
can see the chain of certificates going up to the root ipsCA cert.

Firefox says that that root certificate -- ipsCA CLASEA1 Certificate Authority 
-- is good until 2025. I see the same thing in IE, Safari, and I assume every 
other browser I might check.

Do you see that too?

Out of curiosity, did anyone else using ipsCA certs receive notification
that due to the coming expiration of their root CA (December 29,2009),
they would need a reissued cert under a new root CA?

I am uncertain as to how this new Root CA will become a part of the
browsers trusted roots without some type of user action including a
software upgrade, but the following library website instructions lead me
to believe that this is not going to be smooth.  http://bit.ly/53Npel

We are just about to go live with EZProxy in January with an ipsCA cert
issued a few months ago, and I am not about to do that if I have serious
browser support issue.

Thanks Amy.  I'll join that list.  Would have been a more appropriate

[CODE4LIB] hotel reservation window

[Kevin S. Clarke]

Hi all,

It seems, overnight, the window for our block of rooms for Code4LibCon
lost the Friday and Saturday dates that were added yesterday.  I have
a call into the hotel to get those back into the online system so when
you book a room you can choose to stay those extra nights if you'd
like.  If in the meantime you'd like to go ahead and book your room,
you could call the hotel directly at 828-210-3006 (ask for Paula
Haywood).

Kevin
