Many SIPB members use zephyr to communicate about projects, discuss what's new (or old) in the computing world, and generally keep in touch. Here's a list of some zephyr classes you might be interested in subscribing to.

• <sipb,*,*> — The archetypal zephyr class for SIPB members. Features general discussion about the SIPB, from brainstorming about projects to random bits of humor. It's considered polite to always use an instance when sending to -c sipb. High traffic.

• <sipb-door,*,*> — Receives a zephyr whenever SIPB's office door opens or closes. Great way to keep track of whether the office is open or not.

• <sipb-auto,*,*> — High traffic. Receives a variety of automatically generated zephyrs, including...

  • <sipb-auto,sipbmp3,*> — Activity on sipbmp3. Usually high traffic.
  • <sipb-auto,sipb-door,*> — See <sipb-door,*,*> above.
  • <sipb-auto,sipb-www,*> — Commit logs when changes are pushed to this website.
  • <sipb-auto,backups,*> — Log messages from automated backups of the SIPB AFS cell.
  • <sipb-auto,nagios.stuff.HTTP,*> — Alerts when SIPB's stuff.mit.edu server goes down.

Classes for SIPB Projects

In general, you should only sub to these classes if and only if you're interested in helping with a specific project.

• <hyades,*,*> — If you're interested in getting involved with Hyades, subscribe here to see Hyades development happens in real time. High traffic.

• <scripts,*,*> — If you're interested in getting involved with Scripts, subscribe here to see what the Scripts team does behind the scenes. High traffic.

• <barnowl,*,*> — Discussion of BarnOwl, a zephyr client written and maintained by SIPB members.

• <debathena,*,*> — Discussion of Debathena, a project designed to bring the functionality of Athena to your Debian or Ubuntu system. Debathena is also the basis of the next official version of Athena. High traffic.

• <dodona-discuss,*,*> — Discussing the development and coding of Dodona, a SIPB zephyrbot.

  • <dodona,*,*> — The "official" class for Dodona to run and give advice on. Currently low traffic, as Dodona rarely runs.
  • <dodona-test,*,*> — Class for trial runs of Dodona. High traffic.

• <clockworks,*,*> — Discussion of clockworks.

• <mitex,*,*> — Discussion of the development of mitex. Note that this class receives a zephyr with each commit made.

Other Useful Classes

These are not actually SIPB-related classes, although many people affiliated with SIPB and/or IS&T listen to them. You should not send zephyrs to any of these classes unless you have a good reason.

• <consult,*,*> -

• <filsrv,*,*> — Announcements of filesystem outages

• <3down,*,*> — Recieves zephyrs about MIT service status (see also 3down website)
