| 12:09 | danny | hello #koha |
| 12:58 | atz_ | kwak: you can use MarcEdit |
| 13:09 | gmcharlt | greetings |
| 13:12 | atz_ | kwak: to put all items in one branch, you could just use command-line mysql: update items set homebranch="my_branchcode_here" |
| 13:13 | that would change every item in the table | |
| 13:13 | paul | hello koha world. I'm back from vacation ! |
| 13:13 | atz_ | greets paul |
| 13:15 | gmcharlt | hi paul - have a good vacation? |
| 13:15 | kados | welcome back paul |
| 13:52 | rhcl | at 17:08 chris said "some small features, or low barrier to entry bugs i can convince ppl to hack on". Actually, we (the two of us here at Rolling Hills Library) are kinda looking for a low-priority project like this to work on. |
| 13:54 | gmcharlt | rhcl: good idea. if you need help picking something to start with, are there any small pain points in Koha that you'd like to fix in your own Koha installation? |
| 13:56 | rhcl | I don't know that we are aware of anything that's a specific problem for us yet. We are still mostly just "playing" with Koha in case our current ILS vendor goes south someday. |
| 13:57 | We will probably start using the serials module for real sometime soon, since we don't have that now, but if we ever do completely migrate we'll definitely get a support contract for Koha. | |
| 14:00 | owen | rhcl, you could always browse Bugzilla for stuff to work on :) |
| 14:01 | rhcl | Yea, we've looked that over a couple of times. When we really do pick something out I may select 2-3 items to work on and then ask for suggestions before we begin. |
| 14:02 | gmcharlt | sounds good |
| 14:03 | rhcl | But for today, there's 18 registry settings I have to make, I want to install and test timetrex, I need to get started on Greenstone for my MAS project, and we have one videocamera that's kaput. |
| 14:14 | hdl | owen : have you ever uesd treeview module in jquery ? |
| 14:14 | s/uesd/used/ | |
| 14:15 | owen | No I haven't |
| 14:16 | gmcharlt | hdl: I have - used for the granular permissions tree |
| 14:18 | hdl | So it would be ok to use it in acquisitions. |
| 14:18 | gmcharlt | hdl: yep, the plugin is already in the Koha source tree |
| 14:18 | owen | /lib/jquery/plugins/jquery.treeview.pack |
| 14:19 | hdl | would add some hierarchy in budgets. |
| 14:32 | acmoore | owen++ # Cleans up all my messes and that darned Australian spelling |
| 14:34 | I thought the kiwis had different spelling than that anyway. I guess they use 'ou' and 's' and the other British, Aussie stuff, too. | |
| 14:38 | I still don't understand IndependantBranches, though! | |
| 14:48 | danny | i am always amazed how many foreign language hits i get when doing searches on the koha wiki |
| 14:49 | so many Ukrainian | |
| 14:50 | am I missing a way to limit it to english? | |
| 14:54 | ryan | i don't know of one. i think plone will offer some benefits there. |
| 14:54 | danny | ok |
| 15:59 | pianohacker | hdl: around? |
| 16:09 | hdl | pianohacker: yes. |
| 16:10 | pianohacker | Are you in bugzilla? I'd like to send http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2516 to ya |
| 16:13 | hdl | no problem. |
| 16:15 | pianohacker | k. |
| 16:22 | hdl | gmcharlt: Is there anyone pushing patches from 3.1 to 3.0 |
| 16:22 | ? | |
| 16:22 | gmcharlt | hdl: not currently |
| 16:22 | hdl: kados or I would be willing to do some initial pushing | |
| 16:23 | hdl | ryan: posted a patch for quick push and asked for backport on 3.0. |
| 16:23 | This is why I asked. | |
| 16:24 | And since I was willing to contribute on that, i asked. | |
| 16:29 | gmcharlt | hdl: we'll get something arranged soon |
| 16:30 | hdl | should there be a vote ? |
| 16:54 | Kyle | hey all. |
| 16:55 | acmoore | hi Kyle |
| 16:56 | Kyle | I just rolled a unconfigured koha3 vmware appliance. Any idea how I get it onto koha.org? |
| 16:57 | gmcharlt | how big is it? |
| 16:57 | upload as a contrib? | |
| 16:58 | Kyle | it's 741.1 MB. Kados mentioned puting on download.koha.org, but we decided to wait until 3.0 was out before putting one up. |
| 17:01 | gmcharlt | Kyle: send me a URL to grab it from, and I'll make sure it gets put up on the downloads site |
| 17:01 | Kyle | will do. brb. |
| 17:59 | gmcharlt: Here's the link : http://www.ccfls.org/temp/Koha[…]n-Etch_VMWare.zip | |
| 18:00 | I suppose we should put Zebra in the filename, so we can also have a NoZebra version too. | |
| 18:00 | let me change the file name. | |
| 18:01 | new link : http://www.ccfls.org/temp/Koha[…]n-Etch_VMWare.zip | |
| 18:19 | gmcharlt | Kyle: retrieving file now |
| 18:20 | atz | Kyle: everybody should have zebra... it they want to run nozebra they can toggle it off, but it's not worth a separate VM imho |
| 19:08 | danny | ok before I send this out as an rfc to koha-devel, has anyone talked about adding any type of advanced patron search to koha? |
| 19:08 | for example, to make it possible to search on fields like email, address, phone number | |
| 19:14 | owen | I've wished for it, danny. Does that count? |
| 19:15 | danny | hehe |
| 19:15 | good enough for me, owen | |
| 19:15 | gmcharlt | go for it, danny |
| 20:01 | pianohacker | Is circ/pendingreserves.pl supposed to work? |
| 20:05 | owen | Naw, most of those reports are just for show. |
| 20:05 | atz | lo |
| 20:05 | pianohacker | Eh. |
| 20:06 | owen | pianohacker: it's working for me in some fashion, at least |
| 20:06 | pianohacker | koha libraries: what do you use to find out what needs pulled? |
| 20:07 | atz | pianohacker: galens hold reports, i think |
| 20:12 | pianohacker | atz: the stow extensions on contribs.koha.org? |
| 20:12 | atz | i think that's the most current, where available |
| 20:36 | Moonstorm | hi. does anybody know what contributions have been made by http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/ ? I understand they did some heavy development on koha for thier own use |
| 20:38 | owen | Moonstorm: I'm not sure of the details, but I didn't think it was "heavy" |
| 20:38 | atz | Moonstorm: a lot of it is still in progress, i think |
| 20:38 | owen | okay, atz, am I wrong? |
| 20:39 | atz | i'd have to check our project DB |
| 20:39 | or maybe I'm confusing with some of the other KS consortia we support now... | |
| 20:40 | owen | Yeah, atz doesn't even know how many houses he has |
| 20:40 | Moonstorm | er, wrong library. |
| 20:41 | http://www.ckls.org/ - I was thinking of this one. I understand they hired a programming group out of Oregon to make some changes | |
| 20:41 | chris | yeah looking at the git log, i dont see any patches |
| 20:41 | ditto for ckls :) | |
| 20:42 | i see a couple from howard county tho | |
| 20:42 | morning all :) | |
| 20:42 | pianohacker | Good morning |
| 20:42 | Moonstorm | hrm. any from Oregon? |
| 20:43 | atz | http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…]?p=Koha;a=summary |
| 20:43 | all regular stuff in the main repo | |
| 20:44 | acmoore | I guess it's possible they made a bunch of local modifications and didn't submit them. |
| 20:45 | Moonstorm | ok. i'll poke around and see. i'm curious |
| 20:47 | so, is this channel a users or a developer channel? | |
| 20:47 | acmoore | a little of both. |
| 20:48 | mainly developers, though, it seems. Some libraries have folks that drop in, especially when they're getting started. | |
| 20:49 | atz | yeah, they want to do big things |
| 20:50 | very cool library system | |
| 20:52 | chris | *nod* |
| 20:52 | ohh long weekend for you guys eh | |
| 20:53 | pianohacker | I wonder how we're going to implement fast patron search for libraries that have as many borrowers as mine has bibs (~15000) |
| 20:54 | Hopefully we can avoid Zebra and its endless indexing pain | |
| 20:55 | chris | yeah i think we could do that in sql |
| 20:55 | its fairly structured data, and much less mad than marc ;) | |
| 20:56 | Moonstorm | gramps-project has some type of database lookup that is amazingly fast. they do genealogy |
| 20:56 | chris | yeah its a pretty known problem and not jsut restricted to the library world (like marc searching) so lots of ideas we can use :) |
| 20:57 | Moonstorm | they don't use sql |
| 20:58 | chris | we have a db of about 600k users at work |
| 20:58 | postgres works fine handling it | |
| 20:58 | pianohacker | chris: How about MySQL? I think that port is very stalled right now |
| 20:58 | chris | there is also the entire nz electoral roll, which is on a postgres cluster |
| 20:59 | pianohacker: cant see why not, we just use postgres more at work | |
| 20:59 | pianohacker | ah |
| 20:59 | You managed to figure out the authentication side of postgres, that's fairly impressive | |
| 21:01 | chris | ahh, we have a couple of pg developers on staff .. that helps :) |
| 21:01 | ok, im on kid duty, and he has finished breakfast .. might cya later:) good weekend all | |
| 21:02 | pianohacker | cya |
| 21:20 | Ahmuck | how does one register a nick here? |
| 21:21 | acmoore | from what I can gather, it is not done. |
| 21:27 | Ahmuck | ah. works for me |
| 21:27 | a level of trust i suppose | |
| 21:29 | rhcl | Interestingly enough, you can register a nick on kohanews. |
| 21:29 | pianohacker | rhcl: That's on freenode |
| 21:29 | rhcl | Yea. Diff server. |
| 21:29 | pianohacker | yah |
| 21:43 | Ahmuck | gnite. nice meeting ya'll |
| 21:43 | pianohacker | bye |
| 23:02 | g'night all | |
| 06:24 | mason | sheesh , in other linux related news... |
| 06:24 | http://blog.wired.com/27bstrok[…]s-reiser-s-1.html | |
| 08:21 | chris | hey mason |
| 08:22 | hi nicomo | |
| 08:25 | mason | hiya chrissa |
| 08:26 | ive been trying out my 1st esspresso machine | |
| 08:26 | chris | oh yeah? working out? |
| 08:26 | mason | 40 bux from TM |
| 08:26 | so far, so good | |
| 08:26 | chris | cool |
| 08:27 | mason | i bumped into old friends down the road recently , and zane has an identical model |
| 08:27 | hes a 4 years barista | |
| 08:28 | so i get to brain-dump his skillz to my machine ;) | |
| 08:28 | chris | nice |
| 08:28 | a lot of it is in the grind | |
| 08:28 | mason | yeah, so i hear |
| 08:29 | my stove-tops are stronger tho ;( | |
| 08:29 | chris | we have a machine on level 3, so ive been getting some practice |
| 08:30 | mason | i think i tovetops are 4 shots |
| 08:30 | nicomo | hi chris |
| 08:30 | chris | coffee drinker nicomo? |
| 08:30 | mason | i guess ive just adjusted to it - so doubles seem weak.. |
| 08:30 | nicomo | yes... |
| 08:30 | mason | heya nicomo |
| 08:31 | nicomo | hi mason |
| 08:31 | was away 5 days in morocco for 2 koha workshops | |
| 08:31 | chris | ohhh cool |
| 08:31 | nicomo | it's nice to see Koha implemented in developping countries |
| 08:31 | chris | did that go well? |
| 08:31 | mason | niiiice |
| 08:32 | chris | yep sure is |
| 08:32 | nicomo | yes, I think it went down well and they'll go into production with it |
| 08:32 | probably in a couple of months | |
| 08:32 | chris | my friend chris (another one) is off to the cook islands next week, to upgrade their national library to koha 3 |
| 08:33 | nicomo | cool too: I'd love to do that workshop too, but it's a bit too far from France, I guesss :-) |
| 08:33 | chris | hehe yes |
| 08:33 | there is quite a lot of interest in the pacific .. im hoping mason gets some work out of it :-) | |
| 08:33 | nicomo | indeed |
| 08:33 | mason | work the Nouvelle-Calédonie angel ;) |
| 08:34 | angle | |
| 08:34 | chris | ahh paul has already been there, if i remember right |
| 08:34 | nicomo | yes he has |
| 08:34 | afair | |
| 08:34 | he hated it | |
| 08:34 | mason | pack the scuba |
| 08:34 | nicomo | 24h travel |
| 08:34 | and it mostly rained | |
| 08:34 | chris | heh |
| 08:34 | paul | hello world |
| 08:35 | nicomo | but I'd certainly would pack the scuba if taht was me going over there |
| 08:35 | hi paul | |
| 08:35 | chris | yes, i remember the travel when russel and I came to france .. its a long way :-) |
| 08:35 | hi paul | |
| 08:37 | mason: regitered here http://softwarefreedomday.org.nz/ | |
| 08:37 | ? | |
| 08:37 | mason | oooh, thx |
| 08:38 | done | |
| 08:39 | ooh, brought to us by cafenet | |
| 08:41 | chris | pizza and beer from catalyst :) |
| 08:44 | mason | very exciting event, a 1st for me |
| 08:45 | chris | yeah should be fun |
| 08:46 | mason | hey, while yall about |
| 08:47 | ive been thinking about a nice idea for the web-installer... | |
| 08:48 | that might take a bit of addintional setup, but would be useful to the project in general | |
| 08:49 | chris | whats the idea? |
| 08:49 | mason | the idea is an option in the web-installer that send a koha-registration form back to a server somewhere |
| 08:50 | and we start geting some usage stats | |
| 08:50 | paul | I think this option should be in koha itself too. Because someone installing just for testing may not want to answer during tests. |
| 08:50 | chris | *nod* |
| 08:51 | mason | with other important stats on OS usage, locations etc... |
| 08:51 | chris | i like that idea |
| 08:51 | paul | then, when going to production, he may want to answer |
| 08:51 | chris | as part of the about section |
| 08:51 | mason | yes, good idea |
| 08:52 | chris | it could use the info thats already there, to populate most of it |
| 08:52 | mason | yep |
| 08:52 | IP, host.domain etc | |
| 08:52 | theres some location info right there.... | |
| 08:53 | chris | yep |
| 08:53 | plus we have all the stats about os, versions of software | |
| 08:53 | mason | would be good , for people trying to start local usergroups |
| 08:53 | sure | |
| 08:54 | that info alone would be veery useful | |
| 08:54 | chris | as long as its totally voluntary, i think its a great idea |
| 08:55 | mason | yes, agreed |
| 08:57 | nicomo | ++ for all of the above: it's often asked about by libraries looking at Koha |
| 08:58 | mason | we could even get (with admins permission, of course) stats on cpu/ram/disk info |
| 08:58 | and bib and item totals | |
| 08:59 | chris | the bib and item totals would be very interesting |
| 09:01 | mason | an idea that will get discussed a bit before it happens... while we agree on the best method |
| 09:02 | chris | yep |
| 09:02 | mason | but i think most will agree it could be work the small amount of effort |
| 09:04 | chris | yep |
| 09:04 | mason | as nic says: libraries interested in koha *always* ask about usage/deployment stats |
| 09:05 | chris | yep, they sure do |
| 09:05 | mason | and we always say "umm, lots more than we know of" |
| 09:10 | chris | yeah, i find new ones on google everytime i look |
