schestowitz[14:31] <schestowitz> In summary: around 9 or 10 the site started timing out, sending meditation guru pages through to the visitorsFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:31] <schestowitz> sometimes the DB cannot be reachedFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:31] <schestowitz> tuxmachines has no issue with itFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:32] <SYSADMIN> Is it back up for you? I just restarted apache/varnish. But the machine seemed ok. I should have checked the site first.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:32] <schestowitz> I tried restarting the DB, httpd, checked system logs/messages, restarted varnish serverFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:32] <SYSADMIN> I don't see any problem.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:33] <schestowitz> I think the problem is at the level of techrights server/VM, it's always at around load of 4 and yet it doesn't serve many of the pages requested by usersFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:33] <SYSADMIN> Ah, maybe it's just techrights...the hardware is up and ok...Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:33] <schestowitz> sometimes the DB is not reachableFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> for instance, it's timing out when I request http://techrights.org/2016/02/24/wipo-misconduct-and-epo/Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> it also times out in the mediawiki sideFeb 29 11:33

schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> so I don't think it's CMS-specificFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> There's nothing too nefarious in the http logsFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> "Error 503 Service Unavailable"Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> Very common for a lot of page requests at wordpress level, sometimes can't reach databaseFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> for the wiki it's habitually saying the DB isn't there, or there's a timeoutFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> mysql load always seems to be extremely highFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> as soon as I bring httpd back up it goes to around 200-300%Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:37] <schestowitz> I started fail2ban thinking it might catch some offending address, but there's almost noneFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:37] <schestowitz> judging by varnishstat not many pages are being served overall, traffic is a lot lower than usualFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> Do you have the mysql root password? The one in my notes is not working...Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <schestowitz> so I thought, maybe something in the link between the DB and the rest, or the techrights VM and Varnish server (network link or something related to this)Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <schestowitz> let me checkFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> I don't see any network or hardware problems. All I see is mysql using a lot of cpu time.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> And that isn't even all that unusual.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:39] <schestowitz> my notes say it's the same password as for the serverFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:39] <schestowitz> ....Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:42] <SYSADMIN> I don't seem to have that one. Can you put it into a file in root's homedir?Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:42] <SYSADMIN> found itFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:43] <SYSADMIN> It's already in such a file.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:44] <schestowitz> if it boils down to a DB issue, that might help explain much of the troubleFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:44] <schestowitz> some of the media is now linking to techrights (regarding EPO), but I don't think it caused any major, unprecedented surge in trafficFeb 29 11:34

schestowitz[14:46] <SYSADMIN> Looks like mysql may be maxing out the cpu on the server. I am going to add a couple more cores to the VM but that will require a reboot. Stand by...Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:46] <SYSADMIN> mysql is definitely very busyFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:47] <schestowitz> ok, maybe it's due to traffic, but odd... the only explanation I can com e up with, traffic piled up, overwhelming the DB to the point where it couldn't serve almost anything at allFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:47] <SYSADMIN> That's my current guess.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:48] <SYSADMIN> Everything looks perfectly fine hardware and network-wise.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:48] <schestowitz> which is odd, I didn't expect this given the circumstances, esp. given that we dealt with things like Reddit front page beforeFeb 29 11:34

schestowitz[14:59] <schestowitz> right now the EPO is in the verge of collapse, it's in the media, linking to the site, but not sure I'm seeing evidence of too much trafficFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:00] <schestowitz> Hours ago I hypothesised that maybe something targets the database rather than demand lots of pagesFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:00] <schestowitz> as sometimes restarting the DB seemed to have helped , even if not by much and maybe it was just a coincidenceFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:01] <schestowitz> one thing I do know is that some people do want the site offline right now, and it's assumed that they already attacked (DDOS) their staff union's site, which submitted a report to Dutch authorities about itFeb 29 11:34

schestowitz1. No more EPO comments are appearing (there used to be dozens per day)Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz2. A xxxxx-signed post stated explicitly that comments about EPO will be deletedMar 01 19:46
schestowitz3. People online tell me their comments are deletedMar 01 19:46
schestowitz4. It is unreasonable to believe that only comments with rumours are being deleted/not allowedMar 01 19:46
schestowitzI could think of others, but I forgot while typing the above (maybe my age catches up with me).Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzEarlier today I learned about gag attempts against German media, or German media's reluctance to cover EPO matters (as though this is centrally planned, a la immigration issues). I just wondered if IP Kat too was somehow affected. We're dealing with something rather extraordinary right now. Yesterday I had major technical issues with my site.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzI should also note that WIPR has had some self-censorship issues and EPO PR issues... some of this I cannot publicly comment about (confidentiality), but I want us to strive to promote an open dialogue for the betterment of the EPO, even if it means toppling the current management. IP Kat is a leading British blog, and I want to continue to have full trust in it.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzLook what the EPO has already done to some IP blogs by literally paying them. We're running out of reliable sources here. You and IP Watch are all there's left in Europe IMHO.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Dear Dr SchestowitzMar 01 19:46

schestowitz> Thank you for your email.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> The position is as we said.  There has been no change in our moderation policy.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> The number of comments relating to the EPO has indeed slowed extremely - as you will know from following our comments, they peak immediately after a post and slow considerably after a few days. The Merpel post to which you refer did not say thatMar 01 19:46
schestowitz> comments about the EPO would be deleted - it said that particular post about what happened at last week’s Board 28 meeting would be closed to comments, and that (so that this could not be circumvented) comments on that topic would not be permitted on other threads.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> You say that people tell you their comments are deleted (or more correctly, as you note, not allowed through moderation)  - this is completely consistent with our policy, and it is completely reasonable to believe that only comments are Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> deleted that do not comply with the policy as we have stated it.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Best wishesMar 01 19:46
schestowitzThanks, xxxx. In that case, I look forward to seeing further comments on the topic, probably as soon as your next article on this matter gets published.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzI currently inquire around the German media in Munich to find out why they're totally ignoring the latest developments. I actually know the reason (it was sort leaked to me), but I first give them a chance to admit this. The EPO is working hard against journalism. It's least successful in the Dutch media; the British media has actually spiked pieces about the topic (like the ongoing work at the BBC to cover this scandal).Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzWe're not dealing with an ordinary organisation here, and when cornered it only gets more aggressive. It's not timid.Mar 01 19:46

schestowitz"What PD Roberta Romano G is up to," according to our source, is no good. According to information that we privately removed, "PD Roberta Romano-Götsch abuses her position as principal director to "volunteer" subordinates to sign the letter in support of Battistelli. Dozens have been intimidated into signing the letter. Collecting signatures under duress is a scandal in an international organization that should lead by example. My prayerMar 03 20:51

schestowitzAnd as last key note, the head of Personnel attempted to "Wrap up" the meeting by stating that the meetingMar 04 20:25

schestowitz6) “Misunderstandings have very short legs”...Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzIn this light, the reader will draw his own conclusion on the coincidence of the following statements made in "the Register“ two days after the meeting:Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz„The EPO extends and olive branch to furious trade unions“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz"Determined efforts underway to defuse ticking me bomb“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz"The nego a on of the new MoUs has led to a "very positive atmosphere" in recent days, the organization said.“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz„The EPO assured us that the president intends to stay on until his term ends in 2018."Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzPersonally, I believe that at least the last point is very true.... Interettingly enough, after the Union denied the above, theRegister investigated and published a clarification:Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz“the EPO got back in contact with us to point out that there had been a "misunderstanding" during our conversation over SUEPO's willingness to sign the document. A similar misunderstanding also seemingly occurred when we reported that the revised version of the "request" to EPO management would remove direct criticism of Battstelli.”Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzDespite the impeccable British understatement, it looks like the journalist may not to be entirely amused of the series of “misunderstandings” from the side of the EPO PR-campaign.Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz"Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz7) What’s next?Mar 04 20:31
schestowitz· Staff: the strike ballot in the coming days may be a chance to show Mr Battstelli and the interested circles what staff really thinks.Mar 04 20:31
schestowitz· Press& Media: we can assume that the level of coverage is going to be fairly high in the coming weeks until the next AC. let us all hope that the damages for the already hit reputation of the Office is going to be contained...Mar 04 20:31
schestowitz· AC: So if the delegations or their ministries behind are serious about finding a quick solu on, they should also be clear about the fact that, despite the clear message, the President has no intention to leave.Mar 04 20:31

schestowitzI'm not sure whether this discussion is going in the right direction.Feb 28 21:05
schestowitzThe good thing is that there will now be no fee for opting eligible patents out of the competence of a potential UPC, allowing their holders to decide freely whether they want to be part of that game or not - which is something the UPC proponents were desperately seeking to avoid.Feb 28 21:05
schestowitzFor those in the know, it is quite apparent that the motivation for this step has little to do with "newly gained knowledge" about the opt-out process which, by the way, was designed by the very same people, but, from a legal standpoint, is more or less inevitable should a German ratification not be bound to fail from the outset.Feb 28 21:05

schestowitzThe promising 3,5 hours meeting took place between PD4.3 - accompanied by another 9 (!) representatives of the legal and HR department - and roughly 25 (!!) elected staff committee members (will be referred to as SR) to discuss a series of burning issues.Mar 03 22:32

schestowitz1) Petition claims: NO concessionsMar 03 22:36
schestowitz1.1) NO to revision to the Disciplinary cases: „individual cases“Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzBoth by the petitioners and the B28 members requested the revision of disciplinary cases and the immediate stop of all procedures against staff representatives until an external and independent review has taken place. PD4.3 clarified that the conditions are not met for the moment and rejecting this en block the claims of the petition and the B28.Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzThe administration insisted that these are only individual cases. The assembled staff representative clarified that these are cases of general interest, as they all touch by NO "coincidence“ staff representation officials. Outside the administration.Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzIn conclusion the SR took note that this first claim was rejected and could not detect that any intention to take immediate action on the disciplinary cases.Mar 03 22:36
schestowitz1.2) NO immediate revocation of listed reforms: „reforms are foreseen"Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzThe petition requested the revocation of all recent changes to the Service Regulations and their implementing texts concerning the legal framework. The long answer of the administration covered the fact thatMar 03 22:36

schestowitzmgt insisted their "door is open“ for reviews but a "revocation is excluded" as "the Office would fall into chaos“.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzThe SR notedMar 03 22:38
schestowitzthat the Office was already in total „chaos"Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzthat the only "open door“ noted by Staff so far was the one through which staff representatives were thrown out of the EPO: "mis à la porte“-policy would be more correct.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzFurther the SR insisted that if such reviews were effectively taking place it would welcome not only to receive a final document but to be effec vely involved in the alleged reform processes.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzIn conclusion the SR noted that the requested revocation in the second claim was purely and simply rejected. The SR could not detect that any serious intention to do bona fide consultation on the listed regulations.Mar 03 22:38

schestowitz1.4) NO to paper ballot: "no me"Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzFor the strike ballot the CSC nominated two staff members to overview the process. On the background of key-loggers and other recent past events, the confidentiality of the vote cannot be guaranteed at this stage. Accordingly the CSC asked the administration to have a paper ballot as it was done in 2013 for the LIFER initiative. The Administration declared that if the turn out was low, this was simply a "sign of lack of support" for theMar 04 00:51
schestowitzclaims.Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzIt was declared that the administration saw no necessity and had no me to run a paper ballot. And again, the SR took note that the simple administra ve request made by the CSC to make sure the exercise was meaningful was turned down by the administration.Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzAs a general conclusion, the SR assembled expressed their disappointment that the attempt to find common ground had failed and that the organisation of the strike ballot should proceed.Mar 04 00:51
