15:03 :D
15:03 (oi, still speaking texan)
15:04 Sharon_ good morning
15:04 nengard morning
15:05 did you two see bug 1545 :) the fixes are awesome!!!!

15:09 Sharon_ have fun all...and safe journeys to anyone traveling today/tomorrow.
15:09 pianohacker Sharon_: Thanks
15:09 gmcharlt: Do you know much about the itemcallnumber syspref? Seems like an ancestor of kohalink
15:10 liz_nekls_ i think 3102 was one that I had fixed special in our templates, so thank brendan for me
15:10 will further lead us toward the goal of (and this will make ppl here happy) no custom templates
15:11 brendan heya liz_nekls_
15:12 liz_nekls_ oh hai!
15:15 nengard Zotero bug I mentioned: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2432 would love to see this fixed
15:27 nahuel for me this one
15:28 nengard, zotero doesn't work in xsl ?
15:31 nengard nahuel - nope ...
15:32 nahuel see here: http://nce.dev.kohalibrary.com[…]?biblionumber=725 there is no zotero icon in the address bar
15:32 and I have XSL on
15:36 nahuel ok
15:49 nengard just submitted my second template patch :) a little nerve-racking since it's so new to me
15:54 looking at pianohacker's new way of handling system preference definitions!! Love it!!
15:55 slef nengard: can we see it?
15:55 nengard slef -- not sure -- i can take pictures
15:56 slef nengard: thanks. Did I miss a post or were there no kohacon streams or recordings?
15:56 nengard slef they did record the talks - but I don't think they're uploaded anywhere yet
15:56 chris there were video camera's in most (if not all) sessions
15:57 s/\'//;
15:57 nengard there were some blog posts and twitter and other aggregators of the conference
15:57 i posted one
15:57 slef I've seen some slideshares, blogs and microblogs
15:57 which were pretty interesting
15:57 but I've been spoiled by the debian and apache conferences I guess ;)
15:57 nengard slef - here's my stuff: http://blogs.liblime.com/open-[…]/category/kohacon
15:57 gonna upload the image now
15:58 slef tyvm
15:59 nengard http://www.flickr.com/photos/nengard/3455415425/  not sure if it does it justice, but it's a sneak peak
16:00 slef ah, it gets rid of the "Edit" step?
16:00 that would be good
16:00 liz_nekls_
16:00 did you see the notes at lyb
16:00 slef is there one big "Save" button at the end?
16:00 liz_nekls_ did you see the notes at lybrarian.wordpress.com
16:00 slef I've seen very little about this yet
16:01 liz_nekls_ lol, kiddo says hi
16:01 nengard slef no save button - i missed how it saves
16:01 also the text is all in a file instead of the DB - so you can edit it
16:01 danny yes, slef there is one big Save All button at the end, i saw it
16:01 nengard thanks danny
16:01 slef looking now... sysprefs are one of the hardest things for librarians IME, so I get a bit worried by changes to it
16:01 nengard slef he also grouped them
16:01 liz_nekls_ ooh, pianohacker was busy
16:01 nengard you can't see it on this page
16:01 on this image i should say
16:02 when he's done talking he might be able to tell you more :)
16:03 slef (reading notes) RFID and EDI only in 3.4?  We've RFID running in a basic form in 3.0 and we're working on EDI although publishers are a bottleneck so probably 3.4 is about right for that.
16:04 nengard slef which notes said that?
16:05 about RFID?
16:05 slef http://lybrarian.wordpress.com[…]on09-and-koha-32/
16:05 gmcharlt slef: yeah, RFID (particularly qua SIP2) is already there - look forward to your patches as well
16:06 slef gmcharlt: when at least one of our new workers is in, I should have time to sync up to 3.0 branch and submit patches
16:06 gmcharlt slef: cool
16:06 slef gmcharlt: I assume we're OK using Danish model until the ISO standard settles?
16:07 (I think 3M, 2CQR and TagStar all use it)
16:07 gmcharlt slef: yes
16:07 slef cool
16:11 paul_p nengard: privacy works, except I've a question I want to deal with you. Let's do it after discussion about authorities
16:12 nengard paul_p okay
16:20 nahuel nengard, does it exists an marc21 test database that I can download ?
16:20 nengard nahuel, i'm not sure - does anyone else know?
16:27 pianohacker Back, had to restart after demo (curse you, X11)
16:32 nahuel pianohacker, xrandr++
16:33 pianohacker Ubuntu 8.10 has support for xrandr. Something is wonky with my setup, I believe, since I had to restart to enable multiple screens but not to disable them
16:34 Jaunty++, really :)
16:36 nahuel pianohacker, well I have 8.10 and no problem with xrandr
16:36 my xorg.conf is really simple
16:36 http://pastebin.com/f6711c2a8
16:40 nengard okay - i'm a bit confused about branches - when can I delete branches? I've created a branch before each patch I submitted ... but now what?
16:40 pianohacker liz_nekls_: Hello again
16:40 nengard oh - my question is about git
16:40 not library branches :)
16:40 pianohacker nengard: Probably after the patch has been accepted
16:40 liz_nekls_ hello, took a moment away for a video conference with the s
16:40 nengard pianohacker okey dokey!
16:40 liz_nekls_ spud's grandparents
16:41 pianohacker liz_nekls_: Very nice
16:41 nahuel nengard, you should always use the same git branch
16:41 not a branch by patch
16:41 and then to update
16:41 git fetch && git rebase master
16:42 and if some local patches as been pushed to master, they will "disapear" from local patches
16:43 pianohacker nahuel: Multiple branches are nice to make sure that you don't have interdependent patches; database updates in particular have this problem
16:44 nahuel well, it isn't easy to manage to much branches
16:44 pianohacker It also helps anyone who follows your repo; a rebase will break git pull and require git fetch; git reset --hard origin
16:44 Oh, most definitely
16:44 But a few are nice
16:44 nahuel git pull is bad for development branches
16:44 or you should use git pull --rebase
16:44 nengard I think I might need to talk to someone face to face about this at a later date
16:45 pianohacker well... :)
16:46 nengard lunch time might be a good time
16:46 :)
18:00 chris back from lunch
18:00 danny me too
18:04 nahuel too
18:16 pianohacker Unless anyone objects, I'm going to move some prefs around. There is no reason for RoutingSerials (which _appears_ to add more information to items created by serialsadditems) to be on the Cataloguing tab
18:20 gmcharlt that's fine
19:43 schuster Great blog entries about the conference...
19:47 chris schuster: are you doing up a nice page of links? :)
19:47 nahuel does kohanews bot can report new twitter entries ?
19:52 schuster chris - we are working on putting a page together to link to the wiki... - nahuel - don't know...
19:54 atz FRBR diagram from code4lib... http://www.frbr.org/files/frbr-er-diagram-5.png
19:54 chris schuster: awesome
19:55 schuster chris will need your help with all the presentation links/files - I would like to put them on the program page you created if possible.  Still trying to figure out where we may "post" the videos of the presentations when ready...
19:56 chris i wonder if we could make a channel on youtube?
19:56 schuster youtube limits to 10 minutes...
19:56 chris ahh, hmmm
19:56 schuster I'm going to check to see if we can use my district streaming server....
19:56 chris sweet
19:57 schuster If we can't we may have to check google video or if another library has a streaming server they would allow us to post them on.
19:57 chris yeah, might have to do a call out on the list
19:57 schuster Yep.
19:58 chris and yep we can do links from the program, gmcharlt linked his presentation in already
20:00 schuster So we will need to post them somewhere else and link?  or can we upload docs?
20:01 ok thanks... Nice to have you in close proximity...;)
20:09 danny does veoh allow you to upload videos that are longer then 10 min?
20:14 oh google video says no duration or size limit
20:14 schuster Yep that was why we were looking at google video...
20:32 slef blip.tv works well IME - checking limits now
20:34 limit 1GB
20:35 discriminates against the visually-impaired but looks pretty reasonable otherwise
20:44 mcpuddin Hello, I am new to Koha and am looking into it for an application for a rural school system in Honduras, anyone there to help me answer some initial questions about it?
20:46 1) Is there any information in the docs about barcodes and scanners?
20:46 2) Are there any standard templates out there?  Especially ones in Spanish?
20:48 nahuel mcpuddin, there is a full spanish(spain) translation
20:48 mcpuddin, what do you want to know about scanners/barcodes ?
20:49 mcpuddin where can I get those translated templates?
20:49 nahuel did you get koha source kohe ?
20:49 code
20:49 mcpuddin I am currently running the debian vm image
20:50 nahuel in the directory : misc/translator/
20:50 you have the script which translates
20:50 and the translation files
20:50 which generates the templates files
20:50 don't know the vm image
20:51 mcpuddin it was linked on the site, http://kylehall.info/index.php[…]irtual-appliance/
20:51 to install templates, do I follow the instructions in here ? http://www.kohadocs.org/KOHAtr[…]/translation.html
20:51 schuster Scanners are input devices so there is no specific recommendation.
20:52 mcpuddin gotcha, so the scanners would interface with browser itself?
20:53 schuster Yes just like the keyboard as if you typed it.
20:53 Either through USB connection or a keyboard splitter.
20:54 mcpuddin makes complete sense, so the scanner is then completely independent of KOHA
20:54 thanks schuster =)
20:54 schuster Yes
20:55 nahuel for the translation i think you should follow those instructions
20:55 mcpuddin in re: templates, my default install looks like it has no template on there, I haven't found so much documentation on templates, but do I need to download or make my own "skin"?
20:56 nahuel mcpuddin, look at the example in misc/translator/rebuild_lang.sh
20:58 mcpuddin haha thats where things are hiding
20:58 i'll give this a whirl and see what comes of it, thanks nahuel
21:06 nahuel ok
21:11 mcpuddin alright, so here is where i'm at.. (i'm running KOHA 3 btw): The templates are located in koha-tmpl/[template_name]-tmpl
21:12 The themes i see are intranet-tmpl and opac-tmpl (which are 2 different themes i can skin koha with), yes?
21:14 (this is where I am confused), in order to switch between either of those themes i need to create a new parameter in my system_preferences called tempalte with the appropriate theme_name
21:17 and once I find the them I want, I run the translation script to turn it into spanish
21:17 am I headed in the right direciton?
21:43 nahuel mcpuddin, non
21:44 intranet-tmpl are the "intranet templates"
21:44 and opac-tmpl the opac templates
21:44 the themes might contain a intranet-tmpl and a opac-tmpl directory
21:44 hhmmm
21:44 no scuse :)
21:44 i'm wrong
21:44 in intranet-tmpl you have the "prog" template
21:45 heu prog "theme"
21:46 mcpuddin so there are 2 different types of themes then, one for the intranet (which is like admin area) and one for the opac (which is everyone elses area)
21:47 nahuel exactly
21:47 :)
21:48 mcpuddin so lets say I were to download a new intranet template
21:48 i would put it in the koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl folder
21:48 nahuel ?
21:49 there is only one intranet template as i know
21:49 mcpuddin are there more OPAC ones?
21:50 nahuel no :)
21:50 it's too complicated to maintain
21:50 else, with xsl template it should be easier
21:51 mcpuddin ah, so people just customize the existing tempaltes to fit their needs?
21:51 nahuel hmm
21:51 no
21:51 they uses the sysprefs for headers/footer/etc..
21:51 which includes code
21:51 caj mcpuddin: it becomes hard to upgrade or maintain
21:52 nahuel http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=160
21:52 mcpuddin, you can take a look to this url
21:52 owen leonard did some tutorial
21:52 mcpuddin haha
21:52 wow that'll probably answer all my questions by just reading the title of it
21:53 nahuel :)
21:53 mcpuddin thanks again guys for being very helpful =)
21:53 nahuel you're welcome :)
22:31 caj what's the best way to roll back a commit?
22:31 nahuel git reset ?
22:31 caj works for me thanks
