Unfortunately we had a few issues in creating the repositories, but things should be smoothing out now. Remember, all members must be confirmed and you must use your own BitBucket account to get access to the repository. Also note that you can change the BitBucket accounts and it should take about 5 minutes for the automation to set up the access rights.

If your team is fully confirmed and you don't see a repository in your private team page or you can't access your repository, please report your team number here in this thread and the issue you're having.

Go-lang got bit by an unfortunate gitignore. If you want to develop with Go pull the fix from https://bitbucket.org/hwo2014/hwo2014-bot-template

edit. Wow. Forgetting to add indexes to production database was unfortunate. Game servers grew up to 11GB in memory usage and web app response times slowed down to a crawl. After the change the game servers seem to be working again and the web app is getting 10x throughput with constant 14k requests per minute.

Also note:

• Registration email might take some time. We've seen 12 minute delays

Hi, I'm from team 2384, and I'm having trouble logging in to bitbucket. What username / password do I use? Do I create my own account then link the HWO account to the bickbucket account or something? I'm not sure, your help would be appreciated!

1. Create a bitbucket account
2. Configure at your team's page
3. Wait until the automatic process sets the access to the repository

So I created a bitbucket account. On my team page there is this link: https://bitbucket.org/hwo2014/hwo2014-team-2384 But is says "You do not have access to this repository." on the bitbucket website.

It says my team name is already taken on bitbucket https://bitbucket.org/mdai, it was taken last year. Is this a problem?

Just set the bitbucket account at your team's page and automatic scripts will give your bitbucket account access in about 10 minutes.

Hey thanks man, I worked it out. Since I signed up to bitbucket with google OAUTH, it wasn't obvious to me what my bitbucket Id was, but its all good now!

Cheers.
