@hexmode:matrix.orghexmodeyou know Confluence is going 100% SAAS, right? A friend at a local sizable IT department asked if I knew anyone who has done a Confluence -> MW migration.19:40:35
@hexmode:matrix.orghexmodeDo I? Do you?19:41:24
@hexmode:matrix.orghexmodeI feel like I need to ping people to get a quick response ☝️19:41:59
@hexmode:matrix.orghexmode freephile: any ideas? ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ 19:43:48
@hexmode:matrix.orghexmode I would ping cicalese but it looks like she's already seen it. Maybe Bryan Hilderbrand ? 19:44:28
@freephile:matrix.orgrundgI think the Confluence situation is what triggered Pega to adopt MediaWiki 19:45:22
@hexmode:matrix.orghexmodeDo they have Confluence? Have you converted any wiki stuff?19:45:50
@freephile:matrix.orgrundgThe downside is that they started out without any knowledge of MediaWiki and started specifying a MediaWiki that looks and acts like Confluence19:46:24
@freephile:matrix.orgrundgHaven't imported anything. I believe the strategy at the moment is to re-create everything19:48:46

@tgr:matrix.orgtgrwas Confluence ever not SAAS?16:54:18
@tgr:matrix.orgtgror is it that they don't offer an on-premise version anymore?16:54:31
@bryandamon:matrix.orgBryan Hilderbrand

They used to have both (Cloud and On-Premise), here's what their pricing page says now and another link:

  • Important changes to our server and Data Center products - We’ve ended sales for new server licenses and will end support for server on February 2, 2024. We’re continuing investment in Data Center with several key improvements.
17:12:08
@richardheigl:matrix.orgrichardheiglFor on premises, only the data center license is offered. This is too expensive for normal companies17:56:17
@hexmode:matrix.orghexmode The company my friend works at is not a small concern. He manages the admins who control Confluence. It may help if they see a slide deck for BlueSpice, richardheigl. Do you have anything about it vs Confluence? 18:41:30
@freephile:matrix.orgrundgI don't have access to the exact pricing info, but I believe my company was looking at a $400K/yr license fee for Confluence19:24:45

@jeffreywang:matrix.orgJeffrey Wang (MyWikis)Tax question: is MWStake a 501(c)(3)?00:11:31
@bryandamon:matrix.orgBryan Hilderbrand501(c)(6)00:14:06
@jeffreywang:matrix.orgJeffrey Wang (MyWikis)Thank you04:43:53
@justinl:matrix.orgjustinl Hey all, I'm getting an error at the exact same spot in an SMW rebuildData.php script run, it takes 5-6 hours to get to the same failure spot so it's hard to test and repro quickly: Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1699 of /srv/www/sites/gw2w-en/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: Error 1114: The table 't1' is full. I'm guessing this is about temp table sizes. AWS Aurora's default is 16 MB, so I increased it to 32 MB but still fails. Is my assumption correct? Any thoughts? 15:25:01
@justinl:matrix.orgjustinl FWIW the table in question is smw_object_ids and it has about 1.76 million rows. 15:26:27
@justinl:matrix.orgjustinl Also FWIW the query that fails is INSERT IGNORE INTO t1 SELECT DISTINCT t2.smw_id FROM smw_object_ids AS t2 WHERE t2.smw_sortkey<='span class=\"smw-format list-format \"><span class=\"smw-row\"><span class=\"smw-field\"><span class=\"smw-value\">Auric Basin</span></span></span>' 15:58:00
@justinl:matrix.orgjustinlI just checked, the SELECT DISTINCT subquery returns 1,765,297 rows out of the total 1,765,939 rows in the table. So if it's a temp table size issue, I wonder if the overall size of the smw_object_ids table has grown just large enough over the past year since the last time I had to do this rebuild to be too large for the default table size. Also, increasing tmp_table_size didn't work but apparently that works in conjunction with max_heap_table_size, which also defaults to 16 MB, so I've increased that to 32 MB in dev as well and I'm running another test. 16:26:37
@cicalese:matrix.orgcicalese Jeffrey Wang: This is awesome! https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6783197423717146624/ 20:13:30

@georgios:matrix.orgGeorgios Mavropalias Would have loved to join the upcoming group meeting Bryan Hilderbrand but it's too late in the night for Australia! Hopefully there will be earlier times in the future! 01:15:29
@bryandamon:matrix.orgBryan Hilderbrand Georgios Mavropalias Makes sense. It's tough to balance all the time zones. Maybe we could alternate every month? hexmode 01:44:44

I wouldn't change it if it already works! As funny as it sounds, we must consider if trying to be inclusive will hurt the majority. Maybe there are only 1 -2 people in Australia who want to be present, but changing the time zone to earlier will affect everyone who isn't! I will be checking the agenda and if I find a topic that I feel it's important to me and I need to be present, I'll stay up.

@jeffreywang:matrix.orgJeffrey Wang (MyWikis)Oops, did I join too late? I can't seem to enter the room..16:41:45
@jeffreywang:matrix.orgJeffrey Wang (MyWikis) * Oops, did I join too late? I can't seem to enter the room...16:41:47
@bryandamon:matrix.orgBryan Hilderbrand Hey, yes sorry. We finished already. Started a bit over an hour ago. 16:43:18
@jeffreywang:matrix.orgJeffrey Wang (MyWikis)Oh, I thought 16:30 UTC is right now...16:44:14
