| 06:16 | mason | hi anand |
| 06:16 | have you been talking to amit from new delhi libraries much? | |
| 06:18 | amit has been doing some work on hindi searching on koha | |
| 06:18 | anasha | yes |
| 06:19 | i was talking to amit from new delhi | |
| 06:19 | yes told me that | |
| 06:20 | my compnay is based in mumbai... and i am one of the promoter,, | |
| 06:21 | we aim to push koha in to education sectors.. universities, Colleges & Schools | |
| 06:21 | mason | cool, its good to hear that koha is taking off in india |
| 06:22 | anasha | I will make it sure I have 50+ installation by the end on 2009 |
| 06:23 | and it is not possible with help of you people | |
| 06:27 | mason | i have always thought india was a good place for koha :) |
| 06:27 | anasha | you were right |
| 06:28 | mason | delhi DPL will the biggest item count of any koha, i think |
| 06:36 | friends have told me the food is really good in mumbai | |
| 06:36 | anasha | yes |
| 06:36 | you come some day to india | |
| 06:37 | i would love to be your host | |
| 06:37 | mason | okra dishes :) |
| 06:38 | magnusenger | Just curious: how big will DPL be? Near East University on Cyprus apparently has 2 million items in Koha... |
| 06:39 | mason | woooo |
| 06:39 | thats big! | |
| 06:39 | magnusenger | sure is! |
| 06:40 | mason | hmm, im not exactly sure about DPL - 250,000 maybe.... |
| 06:40 | amit? | |
| 06:41 | wow, i didnt know about NEU having 2 million | |
| 06:42 | magnusenger | guess it depends on how you count, too. Is one issue of one journal an item, or is the journal itself an item? |
| 06:42 | Amit | dpl have 2 million records |
| 06:42 | paul | hello world ! |
| 06:43 | Amit | hello paul |
| 06:43 | magnusenger | hello paul! |
| 06:43 | Amit | hello magnusenger |
| 06:43 | magnusenger | hello amit! |
| 06:43 | Amit | i m from delhi public library |
| 06:44 | u | |
| 06:44 | mason | hi magnus, im from new zealand |
| 06:44 | magnusenger | I work at a small-ish academic library, but I am hoping to get a small business up and running, providing Koha to Norwegian libraries. |
| 06:44 | mason | (near south pole :) ) |
| 06:45 | magnusenger | (I live in Bodø, near the North Pole!) |
| 06:45 | mason | meh, your pole has santa claus ;( |
| 06:46 | wanna swap poles? | |
| 06:46 | magnusenger | You have spring now, right? We're heading for winter! |
| 06:46 | mason | we have a nice ozone hole ;) |
| 06:46 | magnusenger | not sure I want that, though! |
| 06:46 | mason | very warm down here |
| 06:47 | bring some sun-block | |
| 06:47 | magnusenger | about 9 degrees Celsius here, and right now I can see a rainbow from my window |
| 06:48 | New Zeeland, land of the first Koha. Are there many libraries using Koha in NZ? | |
| 06:48 | mason | hmm, yes there are quite a few |
| 06:49 | magnusenger | Do you have your own "community" - mail lists or gatherings or anything? |
| 06:49 | Or are you all "just" part of the international community? | |
| 06:50 | mason | is there much of a norwegian language translation for koha3? |
| 06:50 | no NZ lists, just part of the big community | |
| 06:51 | magnusenger | Yes, 4 people have been working really hard on translating 3. I think they are "finnished" too, but I'm not sure all their work is included in the distro |
| 06:51 | mason | we have little gatherings now and again ;) |
| 06:51 | magnusenger | cool |
| 06:52 | mason | magnus++ |
| 06:52 | magnusenger | I'm wondering how we should/could do that in Norway. I think we should probably have som kind og list or forum, since we're not native english speakers. |
| 06:52 | But we shouldn't forget the bigger community either | |
| 06:53 | mason | the french teams have a koha-fr #irc channel |
| 06:53 | for discussions in french... | |
| 06:53 | you could do the same.. | |
| 06:54 | magnusenger | Cool, but i have a feeling Noregian librarians aren't into irc |
| 06:54 | I'm thinking more along the lines of a web forum | |
| 06:54 | I think that's better to use as a reference, too, perhaps? | |
| 06:54 | mason | yes |
| 06:55 | magnusenger | But first we have to get some libraries to actually use Koha, I guess... |
| 06:56 | mason | its a good idea tho, |
| 06:56 | no need to exclude people from koha discussions because they cant understand english | |
| 06:57 | mc | hello |
| 06:57 | mason | perhaps a google.translate or babelfish translator thing might help there.. |
| 06:58 | magnusenger | I think all librarians here speak english, but I think having that as the only language to communicate in would put people off... |
| 06:58 | hell mc | |
| 06:58 | oops | |
| 06:58 | *hello* mc | |
| 06:58 | mason | heya marc |
| 06:58 | paul | mason & magnusenger : I confirm what magnusenger says : on #koha-fr, there are only some geeks. BibLibre, of course, and sometimes an other IT guy (& sometimes Frederic, from tamil) |
| 06:58 | but almost never a librarian | |
| 06:59 | magnusenger | a ha, that would probably be the same here, then |
| 06:59 | but I guess having some kind of channel for the techies might be good thing too... | |
| 07:00 | So how do librarians talk to each other about Koha (if they do at all...) | |
| 07:00 | mc | what do you expect using IRC? this is unknown by the masses |
| 07:00 | (imho) | |
| 07:00 | mason | mc, yes i agree |
| 07:01 | magnusenger | I'm a librarian, and this is like my 3rd time on irc |
| 07:01 | mason | librraians primarily discuss on koha mailing list |
| 07:02 | http://www.koha.org/community/mailing-lists.html | |
| 07:02 | mostly in english :( | |
| 07:02 | magnusenger | Ah, I see that there is a french list too... |
| 07:03 | mason | and german, spanish |
| 07:04 | magnusenger | Cool. There is actually a Norwegian list too, but since nobody is using Koha here yet, there is very little traffic |
| 07:04 | mason | mailing-lists are searchable as a web-forum too |
| 07:05 | magnusenger | good point, I have used that on several occasions |
| 07:05 | mason | so this could be an OK solution for norwegian librarian discussions |
| 07:06 | ok, off for some food.. | |
| 07:06 | magnusenger | Guess so. the immediacy of a mailing list has it's good bits |
| 11:56 | Amit | hi frederic |
