We set up hubot with a github status message. I just wish GH could push the information out, instead of us having to go get it.

This does sound very useful. I'd strongly consider open sourcing it. The failure has caught me right in the middle of switching gears from one project to another, and I'm basically twiddling my thumbs in the company IRC waiting for it to come back up so I can pull down the requirements.

Using github as your oauth provider for logins is turning out to be a really bad idea for me.

this is not interesting news

if there were talk of how and why github is down, that would be interesting.

Its time for a distributed oauth with different provider.

i asked about this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6401411

A great deal of the novelty associated with HN is that the distractions here (80% of the "content") are good idle reading, seem like they could be vaguely related to work, and tend to offer a community of self-validation, catharsis, and commisery.

If you enjoy the valuable content here on HN, it would be wise for you to learn how to recognize the idle reading and ignore those threads entirely, when possible. I know it's harder of late, as the S/N ratio is slowly approaching zero, but you can't really fight against the tide - there are many more people here on HN that don't share your view (myself excluded).

Sorry.

Persona is what I'm looking at in this space.

What's your hubot script for this? Can you share a link to the GitHub rep-oh wait. That's not gonna work. But seriously, I want this for my HipChat.

I absolutely adore Persona. It's a great protocol, and very easy to implement. If anyone here has a web app, please add Persona to it.

(I'm not affiliated with Persona/Mozilla at all, etc).
