05:09 | paul_p joined #koha | |
05:12 | crackjack | any help about the overdue_notices????I want to send mail for any overdue in KOHA |
05:25 | paul_p left #koha | |
05:28 | chris_n2 | g'night #koha |
05:32 | crackjack | i desperately need help regarding the overdue notices problems |
05:41 | don't we have some how-tos of overdue notices sending in KOHA | |
05:44 | Amit left #koha | |
05:44 | chris | we have the manual and the documentation in the cronjob, you have set up the notices and set up the triggers, and the cronjob to send the mail is runnin? |
05:44 | http://koha.org/documentation/[…]3.2/tools/notices | |
05:46 | you have cron running overdue_notices.pl and process_message_queue.pl and have done triggers in the notices section in tools? | |
05:47 | Amit joined #koha | |
05:52 | crackjack | ya |
05:53 | chris | well then they should run, thats how everyone else has done it |
05:53 | crackjack | I first made an overdue amount making an issue in the backdate...then I setup the trigers in the koha trigger section....then I setup the crontab |
05:53 | chris | you have verified those cronjobs are running and that your system can send mail? |
05:54 | and you set up the notice too? | |
05:54 | crackjack | I have attached images with my mail in the mailing list aswell |
05:54 | chris | try running the scripts by hand |
05:54 | crackjack | I have verfied that the cronjobs are running becaouse it calculates the fines fron the same cronjobs |
05:55 | chris | yes |
05:55 | that only verifies the fines one is running | |
05:55 | crackjack | I have tried running the scripts manually but they give no results |
05:55 | chris | check the message queue table in the database |
05:55 | crackjack | it takes abt 3-4 seconds to return me the shell again |
05:55 | where to check the database??? | |
05:56 | chris | just run the overdues one (with the -t switch) |
05:56 | crackjack | the table message_queue is blank |
05:57 | chris | then check that table |
05:57 | if you run it with -t and the table is still blank (before running hte process_message_queue.pl) | |
05:57 | and its still blank | |
05:58 | crackjack | ok I ran ./overdue_notices.pl -t |
05:58 | the table is still blank | |
05:58 | Amit | chris: I think template problem in overdues notices |
05:58 | chris | and you had set up the environment variables |
05:59 | Amit: you would get an error on the commandline if it was that | |
05:59 | crackjack | should I set it up again now??? |
05:59 | Amit | yes |
05:59 | chris | and there is no error, so its not that amit |
05:59 | its just koha doesnt think it should be generating notices for today | |
05:59 | Amit | sory no |
05:59 | chris | so we have to figure out what is set up wrong |
05:59 | Amit | my overdues notices running fine |
06:01 | chris | crackjack: try it without the -t |
06:01 | and see if you get any rows in the message queue | |
06:01 | crackjack | ok |
06:01 | chris | actually try -v |
06:02 | it should give you some info about what it is doing | |
06:02 | Amit | $PERL5LIB/misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl -t |
06:02 | $PERL5LIB/misc/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl | |
06:02 | $PERL5LIB/misc/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl -v | |
06:02 | crackjack | I tried both -t and wothout -t ... no rows in the table yet |
06:03 | chris | right can you try without and with -v |
06:03 | without -t and with -v | |
06:04 | crackjack | ya...with -v it gave a lot of output..... |
06:04 | crackjack left #koha | |
06:04 | crackjack joined #koha | |
06:05 | chris | yeah dont paste it in here |
06:05 | crackjack | with -v it gave a lot of output |
06:05 | chris | paste it at http://paste.workbuffer.org |
06:05 | crackjack | ok |
06:05 | pastebot | "crackjack" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "./overdue_notice -v" (179 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/73 |
06:06 | crackjack | did you check the images that I attached to my mail in the mailing list?? |
06:07 | chris | right you have no overdues |
06:07 | crackjack | I think I have made some silly mistakes |
06:07 | chris | you can see that because everything returns 0 rows |
06:07 | crackjack | ya |
06:07 | but I have about $2000 fines and its abt 2 yrs due | |
06:07 | in my koha | |
06:07 | chris | thats too long |
06:08 | make it due 2 ago | |
06:08 | crackjack | I think I need to redo the process......can I get some step by step guide or something here? |
06:08 | chris | no |
06:08 | its just your item is too overdue | |
06:09 | crackjack | I have folllowed the guide at the Nabble and KOHA |
06:09 | chris | they dont send notices everyday for the same item |
06:09 | crackjack | oh |
06:09 | ok | |
06:09 | chris | so 2 years old is just way to old |
06:09 | when is your trigger for? 1 day overdue? | |
06:09 | crackjack | so shall I make an item with abt 7 days overdue? |
06:10 | chris | try one just due yesterday or the day before |
06:10 | 7 would be too long too | |
06:10 | unless you have a trigger for 7 | |
06:10 | crackjack | I didn't get that???? |
06:11 | please clarify a bit | |
06:11 | chris | overdues run when the triggers match |
06:12 | Amit left #koha | |
06:12 | chris | they dont just keep sending notices every day |
06:13 | they only send them when the conditions match your trigger, cna you try making a book due back yesterday | |
06:13 | and then try running it with -v again | |
06:14 | Amit joined #koha | |
06:16 | crackjack | ok |
06:23 | I just made an issue for yesterday | |
06:23 | so should I run fines.pl now?? | |
06:24 | chris | no need |
06:25 | fines are totally separate to overdue notices | |
06:25 | just try the overdue_notices.pl -v | |
06:26 | crackjack | it still says 0 rows returned |
06:27 | chris | for all of them? |
06:27 | ok edit the date_due and make it due the date before yesterday | |
06:29 | crackjack | I have made the due_date 2nd Dec and today's date as 4th Dec |
06:30 | chris | ? |
06:30 | you changed the system time on your computer? | |
06:30 | crackjack | did I make something wrong??? |
06:30 | ya... | |
06:30 | chris | that might work |
06:30 | give it a try | |
06:31 | crackjack | where else should I change the time |
06:31 | I already tried to run it...its the same result | |
06:31 | chris | i wouldnt change the system time |
06:32 | i would just update the row in the issues table | |
06:32 | change the date_due column | |
06:32 | crackjack | ohk |
06:32 | shall I make it again?? | |
06:33 | chris | categories.overduenoticerequired=1 |
06:33 | can you do a select overduenoticerequired from categories; | |
06:34 | do they all have 1 ? | |
06:34 | crackjack | where should I look for this?? |
06:35 | chris | run that query in mysql |
06:35 | select overduenoticerequired from categories; | |
06:36 | crackjack | there are altogether 12 entries out of them 10 are 1s |
06:36 | chris | right |
06:37 | so the question now is | |
06:37 | does the borrower who has the book out | |
06:37 | belong to one of the 2 that arent set to 1 | |
06:37 | you can see at /cgi-bin/koha/admin/categorie.pl | |
06:38 | your categories ... does the borrower who has the item out belong to one that has overdue notices switched on? | |
06:38 | crackjack | how do I kow that? |
06:39 | chris | who has the item out? |
06:39 | look at their member record in koha | |
06:40 | and find out what category they belong to | |
06:40 | crackjack | The name iof the patron in Nitesh Rijal and it's a student category |
06:41 | chris | and does that category has overdue notices set? |
06:41 | pastebot | "crackjack" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "member_records" (8 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/74 |
06:42 | crackjack | ya...its like: |
06:43 | student delay (1) advance_notice delay (2) item sue reminder delay(3) overdue_notices | |
06:43 | I can send you the screenshot if needed | |
06:44 | chris | hmm thats the wrong screen |
06:44 | go to administration | |
06:44 | then to patron categories | |
06:45 | then click on the student category and check overdue notices is set to yes | |
06:48 | crackjack | it is set to yes |
06:49 | i just looked at it | |

08:14 | what i need to do? as... when i go to delete this... it shows me the error...."Library cannot be deleted because there are patrons using that library" | |
08:15 | chris | you need to switch the homebranch of the patrons using it to another library |
08:16 | zico | chris: the thing is... i don`t have any patron there even |
08:16 | so... patron is null | |
08:16 | chris | id just delete it in the db then |

09:00 | actually you will need to login to it first, then try that | |

09:14 | magnusenger | chris: head not quite working... what is the url for cloning the bot? |
09:16 | chris | you wll need to tweak it a lot to make it work for you |
09:16 | but its git clone git://git.workbuffer.org/kohabot.git | |
09:16 | im still working on it, rewriting it to use ils-di | |
09:17 | at the mo you can authenticate as an opac user, and find out what books you have out | |
09:17 | thats all | |
09:17 | imp | fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly |
09:18 | chris | ah sorry |
09:18 | but its git clone git://git.workbuffer.org/git/kohabot.git | |
09:19 | imp | :) |
09:20 | davi joined #koha | |
09:23 | magnusenger | chris: thanks! I havn't really got the time to play with it now, but i'd really like to do it anyway... ;-) |
09:23 | Does the search work? | |
09:24 | chris | not yet, it used to with 2.2 |
09:24 | magnusenger | how do you implement the search? Against SRU or Z39.50? |
09:24 | chris | ils-di |
09:25 | koha's restful api, thats how it does the authen, and gets the borrower data etc, it can also place holds, renew items etc | |
09:26 | its what SOPAC uses | |
09:26 | search hasn't been implemented yet, i will implement it as part of the work on the bot | |
09:26 | but using that api you could build something for wave very easy | |
09:26 | have you seen ils-di? | |
09:27 | http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]bin/koha/ilsdi.pl | |
09:27 | check that out | |
09:27 | Kivutar did most of it i think, and its neat | |
09:29 | a neat feature missing from LEK | |
09:30 | Kivutar | chris: what is LEK? |
09:30 | chris | liblimes proprietary fork of koha |
09:31 | magnusenger | i've heard about ils-di, but not looked into the details |
09:31 | didn't know search was a part of it! | |
09:32 | chris | that page explains all the things it can do, some not implemented yet, but i plan to implement search for it |
09:32 | kf | I think 3.2 will have many nice features not available in lek csv output, batch editing/deleting of items... :) |
09:32 | chris | *nod* |
09:33 | Kivutar | the new offline circulation is nice too (for 3.4 ?) |
09:33 | kf | and there is a lot more :) |
09:34 | new acq (I think they have to pay more to use GetIt?) | |
09:34 | Genji | Will we see the end of LEK someday? |
09:34 | magnusenger | chris: the linked bullet points are implemented, i guess? |
09:34 | chris | yup |
09:34 | click on one, and it gives you instructions and example output | |
09:35 | magnusenger | ok |
09:35 | but impleneting search through SRU shouldn't be too hard either? | |
09:35 | (as long as it's turned on, of course) | |
09:35 | chris | Genji: no one knows, only if liblime's clients refuse it i think |
09:35 | yep, but ils-di is a webservice and a published one | |
09:36 | Genji | there might come a time when koha has all the features of LEK, and more, eh? |
09:36 | chris | already has way more |
09:37 | magnusenger | chris: but SRU is just a call to a URL too, and you get MARCXML in return... |
09:37 | chris | but enough about LEK, i shouldnt have brought it up, its pointless to talk about it, we cant do anything about it |
09:37 | magnusenger: while that might sound good to librarians | |
09:37 | Genji | so..... uhh... its just due to misinformation, that liblime is able to bring people into LEK? |
09:37 | chris | magnusenger: 99% of the world doesnt care about SRU or MARC in any form |
09:38 | if you give them an api that doesnt force them to have to learn that | |
09:38 | you make it more likely they will use it | |
09:38 | magnusenger | but it looks like at least GetRecords returns marcxml too? |
09:38 | chris | if you want it to |
09:38 | magnusenger | ah |
09:39 | any other formats? | |
09:39 | chris | currently koha just returns marcxml, but it could do mods, or more usefully for a lot of people dublin core |
09:39 | since we have code to do that already elsewhere in the opac | |
09:40 | magnusenger | (and of course i agree wholeheartedly that we shouldn't expect people outside libraries who want to play with our data to learn marc!) |
09:41 | chris | also, i like that its on port 80 |
09:41 | which means less mucking around with firewalls ;) | |
09:42 | magnusenger | good point! |
09:42 | wave bots *have* to run on Google App Engine, which can only get things from 80 and another port i forget... | |
09:42 | chris | yep |
09:43 | app engine is pretty neat | |
09:43 | magnusenger | come to think of it though: SRU can return dc, marcxml, mods, rss2, rdfdc and utils formats *today* ;-) |
09:43 | chris | yeah but you have to understand SRU |
09:44 | which is not as arcane as z39.50 | |
09:44 | but its close | |
09:44 | magnusenger | which isn't all that hard, i think? (at least compared with understnding marc ;-) |
09:45 | chris | yep, but it does mean running a separate service |
09:45 | magnusenger | on the server? |
09:45 | chris | and you can download dc, mods extra from the opac |
09:45 | so its probably very lttle time to do it from ilsdi | |
09:45 | magnusenger | yeah, the functionality is probably there |
09:46 | chris | yeah you have to enable sru/sw and put it on a public port |
09:46 | magnusenger | the more ways to get at the data the better! |
09:46 | chris | yep |
09:46 | magnusenger | this is one huge advantage Koha has over the proprietary systems here in norway! |
09:46 | chris | library types can use sru, the rest of the world can have a restful api |
09:46 | magnusenger | way to go! ;-) |
09:47 | chris | biblibre have already done 80% of it |
09:47 | its just adding the other 20 | |
09:47 | magnusenger | biblibre++ |

09:49 | kf | koha foundation meeting today? |
09:49 | zico | mysql + #1451 - Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails |
09:49 | Genji | sounds like you do have some patrons using that branch, zico. |
09:50 | zico | Genji: but, there is no patron there!!! :( the patron r empty |
09:50 | Genji | hmm...... |
09:51 | chris | probably an item then |
09:51 | * Genji | nods. |
09:51 | chris | has that branch as its home branch |
09:52 | Genji | Interesting, this constraint concept. stops people from deleting data by mistake. |
09:52 | kf | search groups? |
09:52 | chris | kf: yep foundation meeting in about 9 hours |
09:53 | kf | chris: thx :) |

13:10 | heupink | hi. I'm trying to migrate from 2.2.5 to 3.0.4, and having trouble. My question: can I run update22to30.pl as many times as I need? |
13:12 | I'm importing the 2.2.5 mysql database in my 3.0.4 server, and then try to update the database 'format'. | |
13:13 | jwagner | Good morning all. chris_n, what was the result of your rebase db problems yesterday? I had to leave in the middle of it. |
13:16 | hdl_laptop | updatedatabase ? |
13:17 | jwagner | hdl_laptop, yes -- I think it was the new head with the biblibre patches |
13:17 | chris_n | jwagner: still awaiting hdl's thoughts |
13:18 | pastebot | "hdl_laptop" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "updatedatabase" (53 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/75 |
13:18 | jwagner | Your dire warnings did at least save me from disaster yesterday :-) I had a site visit and I would normally have done a git pull/git rebase master as part of the trip. Good thing I knew not to try that before I went! |
13:18 | hdl_laptop | here you are. |
13:19 | on my todo list | |
13:20 | heupink | hdl_laptop: is that meant for me? |
13:20 | hdl_laptop | heupink: no, meant for jwagner. |
13:20 | heupink | hmm. :( thought so... |
13:20 | hdl_laptop | sorry |
13:20 | nil | hello |
13:20 | heupink | haha, no problem. |
13:21 | nil | hello |
13:21 | i need some help for koha | |
13:21 | hdl_laptop | heupink : MARC21 or USMARC ? |
13:21 | heupink | would be nice if someone could also tell me if running 'update2230.pl' 3, 4 times in a row has bad sideeffects... |
13:21 | unimarc | |
13:22 | chris_n | jwagner: glad my misery benefited someone :-) |
13:22 | hdl_laptop | I would say you had better save your database before trying and start from that. |
13:22 | jwagner | Believe me, I appreciate it! And sympathize!!! I gather there are some new Perl dependencies as well -- hdl_laptop or someone, is there a list of those? |
13:24 | heupink | i have saved my database, installing on different server anyway, thats not the problem. |
13:24 | it's jst: I'm getting errors, and am trying to solve them one by one, | |
13:24 | and wonder if after every adjustment I can simple run the script again | |
13:27 | jwagner | nil, what's your question? |
13:28 | chris_n left #koha | |

13:50 | * owen | was taking care of a sick baby |
13:50 | chris_n | owen: sorry to hear that |
13:51 | owen | Nothing serious, but it tends to put Koha out of one's mind. |
13:51 | * chris_n | understands that |
13:54 | nengard | anyone else having fun testing all of the new awesome biblibre additions?? |
13:54 | I'm testing/prepping for docs/patching | |
13:55 | * chris_n | tries to shove a 283M file through gmail |
13:55 | * owen | is excited to see what's new |
13:55 | gmcharlt | chris_n: eek! would that be destined for me? |
13:55 | nengard | owen - make sure you update your Perl modules - at first everything was broken for me cause I forgot that step :) hehe |
13:55 | nicomo_laptop joined #koha | |
13:55 | gmcharlt | if so, I can provide space for you to sftp it instead |
13:55 | chris_n | gmcharlt: your intuition is startling ;-) |
13:55 | yes, gmail is borking | |
13:56 | gmcharlt | ok, hang on |
13:56 | owen | nengard: What did you have to update? |
13:56 | nengard | hiya gmcharlt - sorry for all of the patches yesterday - well not really sorry - but sorry for the extra work for you :) |
13:56 | owen ... i forget now :) hehe - according to my About Koha page I was missing 3 modules | |
13:57 | I was in a bad mood last night and doing things way way too fast - chris might remember - since he was helping so much :) | |
13:57 | jwagner | nengard or gmcharlt or hdl_laptop, can we get a list of the new Perl modules needed? |
13:57 | nengard | hang on - i'll tell you want I was missing |
13:57 | chris_n | jwagner: I think its only one |
13:58 | hdl_laptop | hi gmcharlt. |
13:58 | nengard | I don't know if these are ones i was missing all along or cause of the update but last night I installed these: |
13:58 | PDF::Table | |
13:58 | PDF::API2::Simple (which I'm still missing) | |
13:59 | Lingua::Stem::Snowball | |
13:59 | collum joined #koha | |
13:59 | nengard | and Number::Format |
14:00 | jwagner | Thanks. We have some sites that host locally so we'll warn them to go ahead & install those. |
14:00 | chris_n | jwagner: [Bug 3828] Add dependency Authen::CAS::Client |
14:00 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3828 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharltgmail.com, NEW, Missing Dependency In Makefile.PL |
14:01 | jwagner | Thanks. I'd suggest an email to the listserv(s) warning people about all these before others start trying to update. |
14:01 | Schuster | Thanks for that list nengard. |
14:02 | nengard | np - hope that's all of them - guess I'll find out if I hit more errors |
14:02 | for some reason I can't install PDF::API2::Simple | |
14:02 | Schuster | I responded to your question about fastbib - or whatever that was, but I suspect jwagner can maybe talk more about that new cataloging preference than I. |
14:03 | chris_n | actually, most of the ones nengard lists have been in Makefile.PL for a while |
14:04 | nengard | oops - bad me :) hehe |
14:04 | chris_n | no, not bad |
14:04 | just catching up ;-) | |
14:05 | the problem with running over git is that you don't run Makefile.PL every time and so can get behind on deps especially if you do not use certain portions of code | |
14:06 | jwagner | Schuster, our fastadd feature hasn't gotten submitted yet -- I suspect this is a BibLibre version? |
14:06 | chris_n | it would be nice to have some other mechanism for ensuring that deps are installed as added when running over git |
14:06 | hdl_laptop | will do |
14:06 | jwagner: yes we did some work on that. | |
14:07 | nengard | jwagner - yes it is |
14:08 | hdl_laptop | based on addbiblio with fastadd framework |
14:08 | owen | chris_n: Is there a certain process one should follow to check for new dependencies? |
14:09 | hdl_laptop | I will send a message on the lists about that. |
14:09 | chris_n | owen: you can check the 'about' page I think |
14:09 | nengard | hdl_laptop - i submitted a bug regarding that -- I think it's great! but you shouldn't be able to delete the FastAdd Framework because of the links to it and the permissions issues |
14:09 | hdl_laptop | it is a food start. |
14:10 | I saw your bug report. | |
14:10 | nengard | do you agree? or am I wrong in my assumptions of how it works? |
14:10 | hdl_laptop | No you are right. |
14:11 | But not that straight forward to do. | |
14:12 | should not be a blocker. | |
14:12 | chris_n | owen: the 'Perl Modules' will list the version or 'module is missing'... although I do not see the new module there, so I may be wrong |
14:14 | nengard: fwiw, I was missing PDF::API2::Simple too :-) | |
14:19 | nengard | chris_n can you get it to install? |
14:19 | hdl_laptop - if i were to delete the FA framework what would happen? if we'd have broken links and things then that's why i said blocker - didn't want to delete it to test :) hehe | |
14:20 | chris_n | nengard: using cpan it seems to install fine... not sure about the package version |
14:21 | nengard | yeah - tried cpan ... need to go back and read what it's telling me |
14:24 | hdl_laptop | nengard: mmm... I think links are shown only whether framework is there. |
14:24 | nengard | okey dokey |

15:13 | hdl_laptop1 | yes |
15:13 | brendan left #koha | |
15:14 | owen | The confusing thing for me is guessing the name of what I should install based on the name of what's missing :| |
15:15 | * owen | is learning |
15:15 | hdl_laptop1 | yes debian and perl are quite funny |
15:18 | nengard | owen chris told me about packages.debian.org -- searching there sometimes helps you find the name you want to install |
15:21 | owen | Thanks nengard that helps a lot |
15:21 | nengard | :) |
15:22 | just don't make the mistake i did - which is searching with the colons you see on the about page - search with hyphens instead | |
15:22 | owen | nengard: No luck for you on getting PDF::API2::Simple installed? |
15:23 | nengard | nope |
15:23 | owen | The about page says I'm missing it too |
15:23 | nengard | not yet |
15:23 | owen | packages.debian.org lists libpdf-api2-perl |
15:24 | nengard | yeah - but my system says i already have the newest version -- and koha says i'm missing it |
15:25 | |Lupin| | till soon folks ! |
15:25 | |Lupin| left #koha | |
15:26 | owen | I don't see a message on the about page about Lingua::Stem::Snowball, but I couldn't search without it |
15:26 | nengard | yeah owen - i had the same issue |
15:27 | but i don't know how to add things to that about page - or do we just report it as ab ug | |
15:27 | ? | |
15:27 | hdl_laptop1 | owen nengard it is in order to use stemming |
15:27 | owen | hdl_laptop1: Do you know why it wasn't reported missing on the about page? |
15:27 | hdl_laptop1 | I think it is not in Makefile.PL |
15:27 | nengard | should it be? should we report a but that it shoudl be in there? |
15:28 | hdl_laptop1 | file a bug. assign to me. |

15:51 | owen | It's in the latest round of updates to HEAD from BibLibre |
15:52 | jwagner | chris_n, still online? |

16:00 | reiko joined #koha | |
16:00 | chris_n | jwagner: here now |
16:00 | reiko | hi |
16:00 | jwagner | chris_n, one of our users was trying to scan a barcode into the new label creator, & got an error like Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at kohaclone/labels/label-item-search.pl line 129 |
16:01 | I know you had some fixes to that, but the version of head they're at should have them all, I thought. Do you recognize that one? | |
16:01 | chris_n | I've not encountered that one that I can recall |
16:02 | label-item-search.pl... scanning a barcode to search for an item? | |
16:02 | jwagner | Yes. I can send you the screenshot if you want. We've done a lot of development on this system. Haven't touched the label scripts, but we may be butting heads elsewhere in one of the .pm files? |
16:03 | chris_n | jwagner: maybe a description of the steps to reproduce the error |
16:04 | I can look at it later today as we use that code here in production | |
16:05 | jwagner | What's your email address? |
16:05 | chris_n | I think all of the bugfixes I've submitted have made it into the HEAD |
16:05 | cnighswongerfoundations.edu | |
16:05 | jwagner | Thanks, will send. |
16:06 | chris_n | bbiab |
16:09 | reiko | hi, i'm having troubles with authority searching, do i need to configure authority-zebra-indexdefs.xsl in order to search? i have some custom auth types. |
16:11 | http://img340.imageshack.us/im[…]628/capturezw.png <- heres a screen of how some authorities show up when i search for them | |
16:21 | nengard | wizzyea and own i thought it was for new acq - but it's not - it's just a cart for staff to make it easier to perform bulk actions - kind of cool :) |
16:22 | hdl_laptop1 | nengard: thanks |
16:23 | nengard | hdl_laptop1 it's like christmas morning with this new update to koha - all kinds of presents under the hood :) hehe |
16:23 | hdl_laptop1 | yes... Some gifts are fine, others less fine ;) |
16:24 | Kivutar left #koha | |
16:24 | nengard | hdl_laptop1 I have not found many major issues - mostly tiny things that I have been able to fix on my own |
16:24 | :) | |
16:24 | hdl_laptop1 | nengard+++ |
16:25 | jwagner | So long as there are no lumps of coal :-) I can't wait to take a look myself, but I have too much else going on right now. |
16:25 | nengard | I do have one complaint - and that is that the commit messages were too brief - meaning I can't always figure out what a new section is for |
16:26 | wizzyrea | nengard that sounds sweet |
16:26 | hdl_laptop1 | Yes. too brief commit message--.... But We shall try and improve that. |
16:27 | we are already asking for commits to be more verbose. | |
16:27 | (internally) | |
16:28 | But we had no guidelines for that... And time to develop is somtimes way too short. | |
16:29 | and sometimes, it is quite difficult to know WHAT to tell to be thorough and fully understood. | |
16:32 | kf | I also had a problem to understand some things |
16:33 | in the new acq module | |
16:33 | sekjal joined #koha | |
16:34 | kf | but I think nicole's documentation will fix that :) |
16:35 | imp | hdl_laptop1: with subversion, you can setup procommit hooks, they can do stuff like enforcing longer commitmessages (just exploring the stuff myself right now because 3/5 from my team tend to write _nothing_ in there...) |

16:53 | what's up | |
16:53 | heya pianohacker | |
16:53 | pianohacker | hi brendan |
16:53 | brendan | errrr... Dr. pianohacker |
16:54 | jwagner | hey, pianohacker, how are the fingers? Haven't heard recently. |
16:54 | pianohacker | If I'm going to be a doctor, I probably need something better than a sweatshirt and old corduroys |
16:55 | the fingers are doing excellent. I have my thumb taped up after finding out the joint bends back a bit too far now, but other than that they're great | |
16:55 | How are you guys? | |
16:55 | brendan | I'd say that's a sure thing pianohacker |
16:58 | jwagner | But surely the thumb would give you better reach on the keyboard that way :-) |
16:59 | Nate joined #koha | |
16:59 | pianohacker | hehe. right now, unless it's taped it can bend rather sickeningly far back |
16:59 | my mom, as a pt, is morally opposed to this | |
17:01 | jwagner | Details, details.... |
17:01 | wizzyrea | brendan: i was going to ask you if there was server user configuration, but I found what i needed in the manual |
17:01 | lol | |
17:02 | brendan | good deal wizzyrea |
17:03 | owen | Anyone here ever configured VirtualBox so that they can access their guest OS from the host? |
17:05 | wizzyrea | I did, there's some trick to it |
17:05 | pianohacker | owen: http://markmail.org/thread/6xwumgcczgpl3q5z might help |
17:05 | I'm interested, as I'm setting up a virtualbox koha install at the moment myself | |
17:06 | wizzyrea | sec, lemme look for the voodoo required |
17:06 | kf | bye #koha - bbl for the meeting |
17:06 | kf left #koha | |
17:07 | wizzyrea | this was the post I followed |
17:07 | http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148 | |
17:07 | owen | Okay, that's what I was just looking at |
17:07 | The VBoxManage commands...those are meant to be run on the guest system? | |
17:08 | wizzyrea | on the host |
17:09 | you have to do similar forwarding rules for 80 and 8080 | |
17:09 | if you are using those | |
17:09 | so I did 88 and 8888 | |
17:09 | for example | |
17:09 | owen | Okay, I guess I just was guessing incorrectly what was meant by "Guest machine name." |
17:09 | wizzyrea | so from my host machine I would do localhost:8888 for the staff interface |
17:10 | owen | wizzyrea: Just replacing 2222 with 88 and 8888? |
17:10 | wizzyrea | right, i'll example, sec |
17:11 | VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http80/HostPort" 8888 | |
17:11 | nengard | owen - someone said you can use FTP - install filezilla server on one and filezilla on the other |
17:11 | but i have never gotten it to work | |
17:11 | wizzyrea | VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http80/GuestPort" 80 |
17:12 | er, that first should be 88, so localhost:88 forwards to 80 on the guest | |
17:12 | then you would change the http80 to http8080 and do the same | |
17:13 | and a protocol for each of those, so: | |
17:13 | VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http80/Protocol" TCP | |
17:16 | pastebot | "wizzyrea" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "virtualbox extradata settings, from my vbox config at /Users/liz/Library/VirtualBox/Machines/Debian-Koha" (15 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/76 |
17:16 | wizzyrea | this may help :P |
17:16 | i spent several hours trying to figure it out | |
17:22 | i'm guessing atz wrote the bit in the manual on SIP? | |
17:22 | (sounds like him) | |
17:23 | pianohacker | Probably |
17:25 | wizzyrea | man, is that guy ever going to stop saving my sorry butt. I doubt it. |
17:26 | pianohacker | hehe |
17:29 | owen | wizzyrea: the example you gave above uses "http80" and the example in your pasted sample uses "guestapache" Is that significant? |
17:30 | wizzyrea | yea, actually, each port has a distinctive name |
17:30 | it's arbitrary, but must be unique for each set | |
17:30 | mine has a bunch of extra ports configured | |
17:30 | for some testing I was doing | |

18:03 | owen | Trying to restart Apache... Why would I be getting the error "apachectl: command not found" ? |
18:04 | Joann joined #koha | |
18:04 | wizzyrea | /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and you get that? |
18:06 | imp | owen: do you have a apache2ctl? (maybe it's just an old initscript) |
18:08 | GeorgeSue joined #koha | |
18:08 | Joann | so is the meeting in an hour? |
18:09 | Genji | ~50 mins |
18:09 | Joann | thanks |
18:10 | George - sorry I got the time conversion wrong .... you can make Shirley breakfast now :) | |
18:11 | its 8am NZ time | |
18:11 | GeorgeSue | Thanks Jo:) |
18:11 | pianohacker | Wait a minute, I thought it was us US peoples' job to get time conversions wrong |
18:14 | sekjal | When we regain koha.org, perhaps we should consider some kind of time localizer tool for displaying meeting times. |
18:14 | brendan | no matter what - someone will still get it wrong |
18:14 | * brendan | has been wrong more than once |
18:15 | sekjal | true enough; the conversion isn't the only factor |
18:15 | brendan | :) |
18:15 | hey sekjal | |
18:15 | sekjal | hey brendan |
18:15 | brendan | I was wondering how your planning for course reserves was going |
18:16 | sekjal | we're going to be forming a task force to evaluate what we need out of a course reserves tool. |
18:16 | interestingly enough, I was just talking with our head of Circ, and had some ideas | |
18:17 | like allowing professors to request items be moved to course reserves directly through the OPAC | |
18:17 | and allowing course reserves, and other items, to be "bookable" | |
18:17 | brendan | sounds very useful |
18:18 | will be excited to see some of it | |
18:18 | sekjal | this would really help with our equipment and room reservations, which are a larger and larger percentage of the circ desk's business each day |
18:18 | pianohacker | sekjal: Would PC reservations be useful to integrate into all this? Just curious, as I have a system that's been languishing for a while |
18:19 | sekjal | pianohacker: I think the development could be generalized enough to do that, yes |
18:19 | we have a graphics area we want to be able to book, and also gather usage stats on | |
18:20 | wizzyrea | i love this line of discussion |
18:20 | sekjal | I think just adding a field to Item Types to allow for it to be bookable, then add the necessary tables and logic to keep the reservations organized |
18:20 | have built in iCal standard export, so people can subscribe to an item's "calendar" | |
18:21 | wizzyrea | hot! |
18:21 | jwagner | Speaking of 'bookable' -- Unicorn has a bookings module for things like laptops, projectors, whatever that people want to reserve for a particular time. Might that be useful to integrate? |
18:21 | sekjal | gtg. phone call with prospective Koha library |
18:21 | jwagner | Or did I miss that you were already including that :-) |
18:21 | cait joined #koha | |

18:47 | Joann is now known as jransom | |
18:51 | jransom | can anyone suggest a good alternative to Deep Freeze for locking down public internet PCs? |
18:52 | wizzyrea | deepfreeze is the perennial favorite here |
18:52 | nicomo joined #koha | |
18:52 | jransom | We've used it for years and its rock solid - but I cannot get the new version to work with our new PCs. |
18:52 | Genji | I'd suggest linux springing from VM's. |
18:52 | wizzyrea | well I don't know what microsoft is doing with the shared computer toolkit |
18:52 | jransom | causes them to lockup - so we take it off and they are fine |
18:52 | wizzyrea | if you are forced in the MS direction |
18:53 | jransom | oh yeah - we are looking today in desperation :( |
18:53 | Genji | or a linux thinnet server. |
18:53 | wizzyrea | curious what kind of computers are they? |
18:54 | hdl_laptop | hi |
18:54 | jransom: kyle hall developped libki | |
18:54 | jransom | will have to find the specs - brb |
18:55 | wizzyrea | there's also groovix, if you're going the linux route |
18:55 | or userful | |
18:55 | jransom | they are windows running xp |
18:55 | wizzyrea | curious if you've contacted faronics with your issues |
18:55 | jransom | (public got grumpy when we had linux ones) |
18:56 | will do that today as well | |
18:56 | owen-away is now known as owen | |
18:56 | wizzyrea | the last time we had trouble with deepfreeze they had a patch for us in a couple of days |
18:56 | and a new version like a week later | |

18:57 | chris | back |
18:57 | jransom | oh that is good news - we just dicovered what we think may be the source of the problem last night |
18:57 | Genji | Welcome back, did you trigger any alarms? |
18:59 | IrmaCalyx joined #koha | |
19:00 | chris | nope |
19:00 | all good | |
19:00 | pianohacker | jransom: We use SteadyState; its mildly fussy but does its main job of resetting the hard drive quite well |
19:00 | thd | jransom: Why do you want to lock down the PCs? |
19:00 | jransom | thanks |
19:00 | wizzyrea | yea that's part of the shared computer toolkit right? |
19:01 | jdavidb is now known as jdavidb_meeting | |
19:01 | Genji | jransom: you definately have to use Windows? |
19:01 | pianohacker | wizzyrea: SteadyState's the new name for it |
19:01 | wizzyrea | right |
19:01 | jransom | restores the harddrive to a pristine state after each reboot |
19:01 | wizzyrea | it's free, right? |
19:01 | pianohacker | yup |
19:01 | jransom | these are public pcs |
19:01 | wizzyrea | we tried it, but we didn't like it :( |
19:01 | kyle joined #koha | |
19:02 | pianohacker | wizzyrea: what dealbreaker problems did you have? |
19:02 | wizzyrea | rather our librarians didn't like it |
19:02 | something about too hard to use | |
19:02 | Genji | Yet, I rememmber Foxton libary using linux on their public pcs. |

19:02 | chris_n | hi IrmaCalyx |
19:02 | kyle | hello all |
19:03 | pianohacker | Definitely easier to admin. Depends how much energy you want to invest in the conversion, tho :) |
19:03 | cait joined #koha | |
19:03 | Marijana | hello from Croatia |
19:03 | pianohacker | hi, all |
19:03 | wizzyrea | maybe I will look at it again |
19:04 | owen | We use SteadyState too, although I'm not involved with that aspect of things |
19:04 | jransom | Genji : yeah we had to take them off eventually - but in the new library I'm planning 50% linux 50% windows to start with ... |
19:04 | kyle left #koha | |
19:04 | Genji | jransom: Reasons for taking off the linux? |
19:05 | jransom | our opacs are linux thinclients and we trouble free motoring there |
19:05 | kyle joined #koha | |
19:05 | pianohacker | we actually use steadystate for just protecting the hard drive; we use winlock professional for locking down settings since it has more options and can be unlocked if need be |
19:05 | vickiteal joined #koha | |
19:05 | owen | Hi vickiteal |
19:05 | jransom | public frustration at what they found when they sat down - unfamiliarity etc |
19:05 | Genji | Ah. |
19:05 | dpavlin joined #koha | |
19:05 | chris | ok, its about that time |
19:05 | vickiteal | Hi. |
19:06 | pianohacker | wizzyrea: I can definitely imagine your librarians complaining about the settings lockdown part of steadystate; it's not the best part of the program |
19:06 | </pac-discussion> | |
19:06 | chris | do we have any volunteers to chair the meeting? |
19:06 | speak now | |
19:06 | thd | should jransom not be the degault chair? |
19:06 | chris | or you will end up with me doing it |
19:06 | jransom | can i nomiate Owen |
19:06 | chris | thd: jransom is presenting lots of stuff today |
19:07 | hard to do both | |
19:07 | jransom | not me |

19:11 | jwagner | Jane Wagner, PTFS |
19:11 | owen | Welcome, everyone! |
19:11 | First on the agenda: Report on forming HLT Koha foundation committee | |
19:12 | GeorgeSue | George Sue Horowhenua Libary Trust The new lamb on the block, Greetings everyone |
19:12 | jransom | ok, well we have had communication back and forwards, but nothing constructive. |
19:12 | chris | jransom: its the committee |
19:12 | jransom | and we made it clear we were working to this date |
19:12 | chris | next item is the negotiations |
19:13 | cm joined #koha | |
19:13 | chris | so i think this agenda item is the time to introduce George |
19:13 | and talk about the koha subcommittee of HLT etc | |
19:14 | jransom | oops |
19:14 | sorry - nerves :) | |
19:14 | chris | :) |
19:14 | jransom | I would like to introduce Georeg Sue |
19:15 | he has been appointed by HLT to work with the Koha community with forming the HLT Koha subcommitte | |
19:15 | and to carry out these negotiations with liblime first. | |
19:15 | he was chair when developed koha | |
19:16 | GeorgeSue | Hi everyone I am new to the keyboard so you will have to bear with me |
19:16 | jransom | led us through that - and we love him deraly :) |
19:16 | dearly (even) | |
19:16 | owen | What function does the HLT Koha subcommittee perform, and how should it be composed? |
19:17 | chris | yep, we all owe a great deal of thanks to George, and the other trustees for bringing Koha into existence, I feel it fitting he is helping us out now also |
19:17 | IrmaCalyx | indeed! |
19:18 | jransom | the HLT Koha subcommittee does not exist yet. We thought it was best to develop that with the community. I have asked Bob Birchall to start working on a paper to get us started - but we are winging it at the moment :) |
19:18 | MickeyC joined #koha | |
19:18 | slef3g joined #koha | |
19:18 | owen | jransom: Do you see it as being composed of HLT people + Koha community people? |
19:19 | jransom | absolutely. |
19:19 | MickeyC left #koha | |
19:19 | jransom | dominated by community people |
19:19 | chris_n | how many seats should be on it? |
19:19 | slef3g | MJRay, software.coop member |
19:19 | MJRay, software.coop member | |
19:19 | chris | i think this is what we are still in the process of deciding chris_n |
19:20 | owen | I'm still not sure I understand what the function of the committee is |
19:20 | jransom | to be decided with the community, |
19:20 | chris | so far to date, HLT have appointed george to work from their end |
19:20 | Mickey joined #koha | |
19:20 | jransom | we are not interested in throwing our weight around. |
19:20 | the koha community will continue to be driven by the koha community | |
19:21 | chris | as far as i see it, they will just be looking into making sure the community property is being looked after |
19:21 | jransom | and the community should help decide how the subcommittee should function |
19:21 | owen | So chris you see it as a group of folks who will keep an eye on what's going on in the Koha world and bring attention to potential problems? |
19:22 | chris | yup |
19:22 | oversight | |
19:22 | big picture stuff | |
19:22 | not day to day running of the project | |
19:22 | chris_n | so what things does oversight involve? |
19:22 | wizzyrea | and potentially overseeing the formation of an independent foundation, right? |
19:22 | jransom | I suggest we take Bob's first thoughts thinking paper and put it up somewhere and we play around with it until we get something to take back to the Trust. They may wish to tweak it - or not. |
19:22 | chris | id see them as doing things like finding a good place to host www.koha.org etc |
19:23 | wizzyrea: yep helping to facillitate discussion aroudn that | |
19:23 | ftherese joined #koha | |
19:23 | chris | jransom: that sounds like a good idea, lets do it nice and publicly too |
19:23 | jransom | I see us as being an umbrella organisation. the real work will continue to be done by the community |
19:23 | as it always has done. | |
19:23 | really - its business as usual. | |
19:23 | ftherese | I was in here yesterday asking a question, but no one was able to answer before I had to leave |
19:23 | so let me try again | |
19:24 | pianohacker | ftherese: currently in middle of meeting |
19:24 | chris | ftherese: we are in a meeting |
19:24 | owen | ftherese: You've caught us in the middle of a meeting |
19:24 | ftherese | sorry |
19:24 | later | |
19:24 | pianohacker | barbershop trio, even |
19:24 | chris | hang around, and ask later ;) |
19:24 | ftherese | how long? |
19:24 | chris | at least an hour i imagine |
19:24 | ftherese | ok |
19:25 | jransom | George: please feel free to step in if I am misrepresenting the Trusts perceived role in this ok |
19:25 | chris_n | jransom: is Bob's paper available or can it be made available? |
19:25 | chris | it doesnt exist yet chris_n |
19:25 | but im sure ti will be available for all when it does | |
19:25 | chris_n | so do we table this item until it is? |
19:25 | chris | yep i think we can report it as |
19:26 | owen | It does sound like we need to get a framework together for the discussion |
19:26 | chris | George has been appointed to work from HLT end, Bob is doing a draft framework |
19:26 | jransom | Would that be ok? It will be up maybe today but probably next week. I'll get Chris to put it somewhere in the koha public space |
19:26 | chris_n | it seems that the paper will provide that framework |
19:26 | chris | and we will revisit when that is done |
19:26 | owen | Would a wiki page be suitable? |
19:26 | hdl_laptop | IrmaCalyx: any hint on when it should be out ? |
19:27 | chris_n | should we put is other than the wiki... somewhere were the community has control? |
19:27 | IrmaCalyx | I am looking for it now... |
19:27 | jransom | i have it my inbox as a first draft but have not given it serious thought yet - happy to post it now if Bob is |
19:27 | GeorgeSue | I would just like to reassure everyone that I am here to help you guys carry on the excelent work you are doing for us and the world, |
19:27 | chris | chris_n: lets put it a few places |
19:27 | chris_n | +1 |
19:27 | CGI758 left #koha | |
19:28 | owen | chris: should we wait for an announcement from you on that? |
19:28 | slef3g | wiki.software.coop exists but is login required atm. can prob make a public subsite easy |
19:29 | chris | owen: yep that works |
19:29 | slef3g | sorry slow. stood in train station |
19:29 | chris | so bob to write a paper, chris to put it somewhere, then we revisit this item |
19:29 | sound ok? | |
19:29 | * chris_n | seconds the motion |
19:30 | owen | And part of everyone's homework is to consider what role this committee should play and how it should be composed. |
19:30 | brendan | +1 |
19:30 | thd | +1 |
19:30 | wizzyrea | +1 |
19:30 | nicomo | +1 |
19:30 | chris | yes, all ideas gratefully received and considered |
19:30 | hdl_laptop | +1 |
19:30 | sekjal | +1 |
19:30 | chris | id also like to put a motion of thanks to Jo, Bob and George for getting us to this point |
19:30 | jransom | and please don't be expecting the Trust to dictate how this will work and lead here: Koha is still as much a community led project as it ever was. |
19:31 | chris_n | +1 |

19:31 | ..... Whos bob? | |
19:31 | jransom | thanks everyone |
19:32 | IrmaCalyx | Bob Birchall from CALYX |
19:32 | jransom | Bob Birchall, Calyx. 1 of the advisiors who has helped us for the last month |
19:32 | so, we have been communicating with Josh. | |
19:32 | chris | he has a great deal of valuable experience we are benefitting from |
19:32 | Genji | liblime.josh? |
19:32 | jransom | yes. |
19:32 | pianohacker | Genji: yes, joshua ferraro of liblime |
19:33 | jransom | and to no conclusion. |
19:33 | We made it clear we were working to this date, and it very freindly and open, ie asking what he needed to make this work. | |
19:33 | owen | jransom: How do you feel the inquiry was received? |
19:34 | jransom | Our opinion is that he is just not interested. |
19:34 | there has been no last minute flurry of stalling, horse trading etc. | |
19:34 | Mickey | please amplify/clarify |
19:34 | chris_n | jransom: so basically no response? |
19:34 | jransom | There has been 2 responses. |
19:35 | chris | well once response repeated? |
19:35 | jransom | Stalling, challenging the Trusts position |
19:35 | Chris: essentially yes. | |
19:35 | owen | Challenging the Trust's position? |
19:35 | jransom | we have asserted ourselves as the communitys chosen nonprofit organisation. |
19:36 | chris_n | jransom: so what direction does the negotiating committee recommend at this point? |
19:36 | jransom | ie elected by the community. |
19:36 | we recommend abandoning the negotiations. | |
19:36 | nicomo | jransom: could you be more specific as to the response you've had? |
19:36 | jransom | and we have a suggestion to go forward with. |
19:36 | vickiteal | Has he said no, or is he evading the issue? |
19:37 | jransom | He is stalling, Not no. |
19:37 | hdl_laptop | Is he challenging your role ? |
19:37 | jransom | but asking unreasonable questions. about our future plans |
19:37 | thd | jransom: Was there nothing from LibLime which could imply maybe under condition X? |
19:37 | jransom | nothing at all. |
19:37 | richard joined #koha | |
19:37 | richard | hi |
19:37 | jransom | no mention of money |
19:37 | chris | i have seen the responses, as have galen and Bob |
19:37 | as we were elected to help jo in the last meeting | |
19:38 | slef3g | I saw some more llek sales pr. doesn't seem like they should be short of time.money |
19:38 | dcage left #koha | |
19:38 | jransom | I think he stalling with no intention of playing nicely. |
19:39 | confirmed in a letter from a university librarian who asked him specifically about this at a conference. | |
19:39 | slef3g | so I agree it's most likely will. +1 to recommend |
19:39 | chris | and no, there is nothing in his message to suggest they will |
19:39 | gmcharlt | I concur |
19:39 | wizzyrea | so, if we are abandoning negotiations, what's the next step? |
19:39 | chris_n | jransom: can we hear the suggestions? |
19:39 | jransom | I would like tomake a suggestion |
19:39 | sure | |
19:40 | Chris, Galen and I had a talk after the last dev meeting. | |
19:40 | and we think we should rename / rebrand Koha as Open Koha and launch the new site with the openkoha.org domain. | |
19:41 | and launch it to coincide with the release of 3.2 in january. | |
19:41 | chris | well, we have only 2 options as i see it |
19:41 | move on | |
19:41 | thd | What about Free Koha? |
19:41 | chris | with something like free koha, or open koha |
19:41 | or get into court battles ... .eeeewwww yc | |
19:41 | kyle | OpenKoha has a nice ring to it. |
19:41 | imp | thd: free sounds like free-ware, not open as opensource is |
19:41 | jransom | openkoha.net and openkoha.org have been claimed by a friend for us already (many months ago) |
19:41 | imp | (imho) |
19:42 | magnusenger | i have to agree with imp there |
19:42 | * nicomo | agrees with imp |
19:42 | * owen | too |
19:42 | imp | jransom: nice step :) |
19:42 | jransom | January is 10 years to the month since we launched Koha |
19:42 | pianohacker | We might have to table discussion of the final name, though my personal vote is for OpenKoha or Open Koha :) |
19:42 | chris | i personally much prefer the term free software, to open source, but im willing to live with openkoha |
19:42 | sekjal | I recognize the practicality of changing the name, but its REALLY irksome |
19:42 | chris_n | very |
19:42 | thd | imp: Free as in freedom, as in Free Software |
19:42 | wizzyrea | with sekjal on that, like OpenKoha, if we have to |
19:43 | jransom | and the new release is the perfect promo for "Koha carrrys on without liblime" |
19:43 | Genji | OpenKoha... or FreeKoha.. but I think its saying it twice. |
19:43 | slef3g | no to open. yes to shared or free or community or sustainable |
19:43 | dpavlin | OpenKoha might be abbriviated to OK which is... OK :-) |
19:43 | chris | ill still talk about koha as being free software, not opensource .. since the actions of companies like Liblime have soured the term open source |
19:43 | gmcharlt | LibreKoha? # just muddying the waters ;) |
19:43 | chris_n | we should have lots of PR when we do this |
19:43 | Mickey | whatever let's not get bogged down right now over nomenclature |
19:43 | pianohacker | right |
19:43 | CGI942 joined #koha | |
19:43 | nicomo | gmcharlt: too Galic |
19:43 | jransom | yep - need maximum promo |
19:43 | pianohacker | could very easily be resolved by a poll, imho |
19:43 | jransom | press release. blog posts everywhere |
19:43 | chris | yep, the point is, that we think it might be time to call it a day and move on |
19:43 | slef3g | ok mickey |
19:43 | thd | imp: you can have open source without freedom to use, modify, redistribute your modified version |
19:43 | Genji | Koha = free in maori right? |
19:43 | imp | thd: don't get me wrong, but it's very hard to explain somebody that something is opensource and really open, freeware is something ugly, but those people tend to get the things wrong |
19:43 | jransom | library journal story |
19:44 | CGI942 left #koha | |
19:44 | * chris_n | agrees with chris |
19:44 | gmcharlt | Genji: more like 'gift', though chris can explain the nuances better |
19:44 | jransom | (carrys on ignring everybody.. :) |
19:44 | Mickey | decision to move ahead with a rebranding is the q? |
19:44 | kyle | I believe Koha means 'A Gift' |
19:44 | jransom | and we rebrand it |
19:44 | chris | its a special type of gift |
19:44 | jransom | chris resurrects the previous website |
19:44 | thd | imp: people will get it wrong and I mean most people no matter what it is called |
19:44 | jransom | we update it |
19:44 | get the wiki and everything elase we can together | |
19:44 | chris | a gift with some strings ... just like free software |
19:45 | * Genji | loves the original website. "Especially Rachel's origin of koha story." |
19:45 | chris | ok |
19:45 | sekjal | its going to be hard to get the community to agree on a new name, but its probably for the best |
19:45 | chris | this is probably paranoia |
19:45 | but now this is public | |
19:45 | jransom | Chris: is your emplyer willing to commit resources to get a new site up? |
19:45 | question is, is it faesible to do this in time? | |
19:45 | chris | can someone please get a copy of the wiki and bugzilla right now |
19:45 | thd | Genji++ |
19:46 | owen | This is big decision folks, are we prepared to move forward on this plan just with the consensus of those present today? |
19:46 | pianohacker | Do we have an official date for 3.2 set? Didn't see it in the dev meeting notes, but I could have missed it |
19:46 | chris | owen; hell no |
19:46 | this is just the opinion of 3 people | |
19:46 | myself included | |
19:46 | Genji | chris: liblime could be scanning the realtime log, and may pull those two at any moment? |
19:46 | jransom | 3.2 is the perfect perfect opportunity to launch the new Koha |
19:46 | owen | Okay, then what's the next step? |
19:46 | chris | Genji: like i say paranoia |
19:47 | * owen | is feeling the same paranoia lately |
19:47 | jransom | is someone grabbing those 2 things? |
19:47 | imp | maybe the disscusion about a new name should be moved to the mailinglist? don't think it's critical right now (and doodle it later or something like that) |
19:47 | chris | the important point to decide is |
19:47 | pianohacker | Set up a poll with 2 questions: Whether to change name, and if so, ranking of choices? |
19:47 | Genji | How do I get an export of those two things? |
19:47 | nicomo | pianohacker: ++ |
19:47 | chris | do we want to persist trying to get koha.org back from liblime |
19:47 | or do we call it a day, and work on a plan to move on | |
19:48 | a possible plan being rebrand and launch in time for 3.2 | |
19:48 | chris_n | I'd say we leave the name with them and go our own way |
19:48 | hdl_laptop | i think we have to call it a day. |
19:48 | owen | At this point I think we have to rely on the advice of those who have been involved with the negotiations |
19:48 | wizzyrea | question: what would prevent a non open koha vendor from using openkoha code? |
19:48 | pianohacker | (above is just to continue precedent of using polls for decision making) |
19:48 | magnusenger | call it a day, move on, use energy on something constructive |
19:48 | Mickey | cost-benefit. is it worth a protracted fight? or not? |
19:48 | chris | wizzyrea: nothing and we dont want to |
19:48 | hdl_laptop | It's been some time now we are stuck. |
19:48 | Genji | Anyone grabbing the wiki and bugzilla? How is a full grab done? |
19:48 | owen | We don't even have any framework established for carrying out a court fight |
19:48 | gmcharlt | wizzyrea: chris has it |
19:49 | sekjal | I just tried wget -r on both; no dice |
19:49 | SelfishMan | I'm coming in late but it seems to me that changing the name will kill the reputation of koha |
19:49 | slef3g | doodle ok for majorities but bad at consensus building |
19:49 | chris | SelfishMan: the reputation of koha is currently being killed |
19:49 | imp | wizzyrea: you can choose a licence, which will (theoreticaly) force them to send their patches upstream |
19:49 | jransom | yep. |
19:49 | kyle | SelfishMan: I think the reputation of Koha will follow the community if it is said loud and clear. OpenKoha isn't much of a leap. |
19:49 | wizzyrea | imp: that's more of what I was getting at |
19:50 | pianohacker | imp: AGPL is a possibility, but I think it was regarded as a step too far in the other direction |
19:50 | Mickey | koha is stronger than its specific brand at this point; it has surpassed critical mass |
19:50 | Genji | sekjal: no dice? |
19:50 | hdl_laptop | slef3g: I don't think we have to make concensus on the name. majority is ok. |
19:50 | sekjal | I'm getting blocked by robots.txt, I think |
19:50 | jransom | and i think we have to be strong and assertive now and send a clear message that Koha Community is strong and determined to control our own destiny. |
19:50 | owen | If we start fresh with an identity that is owned by a foundation then it doesn't matter if a company doesn't want to share |
19:50 | Nate | Can we make the change in the name to come after the word "Koha" |
19:50 | owen | At least they can hijack the identity |
19:50 | imp | if somebody tells me what to mirror, i can try to get it |
19:51 | magnusenger | jransom++ |
19:51 | vickiteal | May I make a suggestion? |
19:51 | Nate | like KohaCommunity |
19:51 | chris | vickiteal: go right ahead |
19:51 | kyle | I doubt anyone cares about the name as much as they care about the software functioning. |
19:51 | Nate | Never underestimate the power of branding |
19:51 | vickiteal | I'm wondering if we could give the LibLime customers some time to see if they could sway LibLime from relinquishing koha.org? |
19:51 | jransom | this willsend shockwaves through libraryland - people will hear about the new name :) |
19:52 | Genji | Can the wiki and bugzilla be exported in their native formats? or will we just have to do html dumps? |
19:52 | vickiteal | Is there are rush to make such a huge change? |
19:52 | chris | vickiteal: id love to believe they could, but so far they seem unable to shift them to even releasing the code :( |
19:52 | Marijana left #koha | |
19:52 | wizzyrea | vickiteal I was thinking the same thing |
19:52 | owen | Genji: Let's save that discussion for later |
19:52 | Genji | owen: hopefully there is a later. |
19:52 | pianohacker | vickiteal: that _might_ have possibilities; my impression was that customer pressure was a part of the recent shift to lek, no? |
19:52 | chris | vickiteal: we ahve been locked out of www.koha.org for a year now |
19:52 | sekjal | Genji: changed my browser in wget, got better results |
19:52 | jransom | we have this huge promo - launch opportunity in 1 month to relaunch Koha. |
19:52 | chris | this isnt rushed, its positively glacial |
19:52 | vickiteal | I don't know that the customers have tried that hard yet. |
19:52 | wizzyrea | yea, except a lot of ... what she said |
19:53 | kyle | Nate: true, that is why I'm for OpenKoha. I suppose I was speaking as an existing Koha user :) |
19:53 | wizzyrea | we were waiting to see what the official outcome was |
19:53 | chris | liblime didnt just wake up 2 months ago and decide to stop playing nice, its been happening for over a year |
19:53 | i personally feel they have had more than enough time | |
19:53 | owen | vickiteal: I don't have a good sense of what LibLime customers even think of all this, only a few data points |
19:53 | chris | but if others feel like we should wait longer |
19:53 | Marijana joined #koha | |
19:53 | Marijana left #koha | |
19:53 | chris | im happy to do so |
19:53 | jransom | the email I had from a LL university client was very sad |
19:53 | owen | Could they be persuaded to talk to LibLime, or do they not want to make waves? |
19:54 | Marijana joined #koha | |
19:54 | SelfishMan | btw, I'm ripping wiki.koha.org now |
19:54 | owen | ("they" in general) |
19:54 | nengard | i'm back |
19:54 | slef3g | hdl: disagree. consensus better |
19:54 | nengard | thought that would be quicker |
19:54 | jransom | If the community wishes to play the LL game for longer then so be it. |
19:54 | vickiteal | Owen: good question. I'm not even making a commitment, but I think we would like the opportunity to discuss with other customers. |
19:54 | sekjal | with any luck, the newly forming KUDOS can serve to promote the community in contrast to LL |
19:54 | chris_n | I think the only thing that will persuade LL at this point would be a mass exodus of customers |
19:54 | thd | If there is a serious concern about the US trademark. prepending a word will not change the issue. |
19:55 | owen | thd: What do you mean? |
19:55 | vickiteal | I undertand problem has been around for a while, but to me it still feels new. |
19:55 | jransom | But if we want to move forward we have a perfect opportunity to make a big splash. |
19:55 | Mickey | yes. what exactly does waiting gain us? |
19:56 | chris | my fear is, and after reading someones thesis last night, its even more real that liblime are trashing the reputation of koha |
19:56 | SelfishMan | kyle, chris: I don't doubt the reputation is being killed. I guess I should have said "brand recognition" instead of reputation. It has taken a long time to get local libraries to consider koha and changing the name will scare them away again. |
19:56 | owen | Alright everyone, let's focus on the next step |
19:56 | chris | i think the longer we stay, the more trashed it is getting |
19:56 | jdavidb_meeting is now known as jdavidb | |
19:56 | thd | own: Open Koha would also use the US trademark just as much as Koha alone in the context of library software for which Koha is trademarked in the US. |
19:56 | kyle | chris++ |
19:56 | richard is now known as rich-away | |
19:56 | jransom | Chris ++ |
19:57 | owen | How do we arrive at a communal decision on the identity-change issue? |
19:57 | slef3g | battery low. no recharge chance. sorry all |
19:57 | pianohacker | slef3g: Thanks for coming regardless |
19:57 | jransom | I would like to move that we do. |
19:57 | * chris_n | motions we move forward on identity change |
19:57 | vickiteal | I think rushing without exhausting all possibilities may do more harm to Koha, than to take another month or so to see if LL customers can do something. |
19:57 | kyle | If OpenKoha is too big of a gray area, I think another Maori would would suffice. |
19:57 | jransom | we have had a year of mucking around Vivky. |
19:57 | chris | i dont think we are rushing |
19:57 | vickiteal | If they decide not to, or there is no positivie outcome then at least you know that everything was tried. |
19:57 | jransom | how much longer do you think is reasonable? |
19:57 | nicomo | thd: a change of domain name doesn't resolve all the issues (like TM) but it solves pratical issues (the web site) |
19:57 | SelfishMan | I hate to say it, but I think we are screwed. You guys are right, a name change is required. Doing it with the next release would be the way to go |
19:57 | nengard | i'm with chris and jransom - we're not rushing |
19:58 | slef3g | kyle++ |
19:58 | vickiteal | One month. |
19:58 | SelfishMan | maybe instead of the next 3.x go 4.0? |
19:58 | nicomo | vickiteal: dec. 25th? |
19:58 | owen | SelfishMan: LibLime has already done that :| |
19:58 | chris | naw its not a big feature release |
19:58 | its a performance clean up one, 3.4 is a perfect number ;) | |
19:58 | kyle | SelfishMan, Chris: Then we go to 11! |
19:58 | chris_n | hehe |
19:59 | jransom | 3.2 is a big release. |
19:59 | thd | nicomo: yes certainly the domain has to be solved and multiple domains can point to the same place even without a name distincion for the software |
19:59 | SelfishMan | I'm just thinking that incrementing the major version with a new name would "sell" better |
19:59 | jransom | and doing nothing means we continue with the website access problems, |
19:59 | owen | We need to have an up-or-down vote on whether to proceed with the identity change. Should that happen here, now, or under a more formal framework? |
19:59 | thd | I do fear changing the Koha part of the name on a practical basis for recognition. |
20:00 | kyle | If we ever get koha.org back, we could always redirect to the new 'home base' url |
20:00 | thd | Preending is fine |
20:00 | jransom | and with potential koha libraries landing on liblime when they are looking for koha community |
20:00 | chris | if vicki is confident liblime customers can sway joshua's mind |
20:00 | SelfishMan | owen: I could be wrong but it seems to me that the majority of the people that are heavily attached to the project are in this channel. I say do it hear when the time comes |
20:00 | chris | i think we should give them time |
20:00 | jransom | kyle: my thoughts excatly |
20:00 | nicomo | jransom: yep, SEO for the new web site will have to be reaaally good |
20:00 | chris | but i fear that they have little chance in doing so :( |
20:01 | CGI529 joined #koha | |
20:01 | chris_n | vikiteal: how do you propose to go about changing Josh's mind? |
20:01 | vickiteal | I am not confident. But, I think that we should be given the opportunity to discuss it and try. We had to wait to see what the Trust could do first. |
20:01 | SelfishMan | I know of a few local liblime customers that are terminating their contracts over this |
20:01 | chris | would 2 weeks be enough time vickiteal ? |
20:01 | pianohacker | vickiteal: Also, how much would you be pushing for? |
20:01 | vickiteal | Ask him. |
20:01 | pianohacker | (possibly) |
20:01 | owen | I think vickiteal should try. |
20:01 | jransom | Timely to announce now that Biblibre and HLT have started the process of transferring the EU Koha trademark over to HLT. At no cost to HLT. |
20:01 | chris_n | I think LL's customers have the teeth to do it, but I wonder about the practicality of showing them |
20:01 | CGI529 left #koha | |
20:02 | vickiteal | Josh is going to be on vacation and will not be back until December 17th. |
20:02 | jransom | We have asked Josh for the community assets, and asked he needs to have in order to give back the domain name. |
20:02 | vickiteal | I guess we could commit to December 24th. |
20:02 | slef3g | last I saw that was only a tm attempt |
20:03 | chris | slef3g: ? |
20:03 | nicomo | eh eh slef3g I would have been disappointed not hearing from you on this |
20:03 | vickiteal | f someone could send me an email with what to ask for, I can discuss it with other customers and we can do our best. |
20:03 | chris | slef3g: whatever it is, its being transferred to HLT |
20:03 | pianohacker | vickiteal: if that works, would be an excellent noche buena gift :) |
20:03 | nicomo | I just filed the paperwork to transfer the TM process to HLT |
20:03 | wizzyrea | nicomo++ |
20:03 | owen | nicomo++ |
20:03 | nicomo | slef3g: want a copy? |
20:03 | :-) | |
20:03 | slef3g | our coop is first vendor in uk and some other eu states |
20:03 | chris_n | nicomo++ |
20:03 | slef3g | our coop is first vendor in uk and some other eu states |
20:03 | vickiteal | As I said, I'm not making promisies. Just want to try. |
20:04 | chris | you know the people who could fix all this right now |
20:04 | in 10 minutes | |
20:04 | are the high ups in waldo | |
20:04 | Genji | Wow. the wiki is huge. |
20:04 | vickiteal | I ahve to leave for another meeting, but I will stay logged in so I can read the rest of the meeting. |
20:04 | chris_n | chris: yup |
20:04 | chris | but they are the ones defending it |
20:04 | wizzyrea | do we know for sure they are defending the hijack of community koha assets? |
20:04 | sekjal | I've had contact with one Rob Karen at WALDO |
20:04 | I could try reigniting that discussion | |
20:04 | chris | well they defended LEK |
20:04 | chris_n | chris: I wonder if they are not responsible for this mess in the final analysis |
20:04 | cait | i missed ben ide on the mailinglist lately |
20:04 | slef3g | it is a process not the finished tm. up or ll or more could object |
20:04 | wizzyrea | of course they did, they paid for it ^.^ |
20:05 | chris | wizzyrea: my point entirely |
20:05 | ok, how about a vote | |
20:05 | wizzyrea | but I'm not sure they have a stake in the koha community assets |
20:05 | only in LEK | |
20:05 | chris_n | chris: on? |
20:05 | chris | should we give LL customers (led by vickiteal) until december 24 |
20:05 | to try their hand | |
20:05 | * chris_n | seconds the motion |
20:05 | chris | and persuading LL to see reason |
20:05 | thd | ++ |
20:05 | * owen | votes yes |
20:05 | wizzyrea | pitch it to waldo as it's taking away staff assets (time, attention) to deal with these community assets |
20:05 | sekjal | +1 |
20:06 | chris | s/and/at/ |
20:06 | cait | +1 |
20:06 | nengard | I have to say this all confuses me - if the real koha is going to be openkoha and advertised as such - what value does koha.org have - why not just give it up and move on with things? |
20:06 | chris | +1 |
20:06 | imp | 1 |
20:06 | nicomo | yes |
20:06 | imp | +1 |
20:06 | Nate | +1 coca cola would fight tooth and nail for their name with good reason |
20:06 | kyle | A late thought, instead of having a version number battle, why not move to a date based versioning system like Ubuntu? Koha 9.12? |
20:06 | nengard | +1 |
20:06 | owen | nengard: This is our last-ditch effort to avoid the identity change |
20:06 | * SelfishMan | votes yes |
20:06 | jransom | +1 |
20:06 | * pianohacker | seconds the motion, with note that we might want to start discussions on naming and identity change regardless of outcome |
20:06 | SelfishMan | (if my vote even counts) |
20:06 | pianohacker | So we're ready |
20:06 | Genji | vickiteal++ |
20:06 | chris | good idea pianohacker |
20:06 | wizzyrea | i vote yes |
20:06 | hdl_laptop | pianohacker++ |
20:06 | owen | SelfishMan: Why wouldn't it? |
20:07 | jransom | pianohacker++ |
20:07 | nengard | yeah - i get that - owen - I just don't get why LL is being so stubborn - if we change the name there is no value left in koha.org - so it's pointless to hold on to it so tightly |
20:07 | rhcl_away is now known as rhcl | |
20:07 | nicomo | by the way, vickiteal's effort is not incompatible with our moving forward |
20:07 | pianohacker | s/start discussions/start discussions now/ |
20:07 | thd | nengard:everything now points to koha .org all over the internet and those links are not going to change in any hury |
20:07 | owen | nengard: From their point of view theirs is the only one worth having |
20:07 | chris | and please if people could do nightly backups for the wiki and bugzilla that would stop me fearing so much |
20:07 | Mickey | sorry must leave best to all |
20:07 | Mickey left #koha | |
20:08 | nengard | thd - we're a pretty noisy bunch we can get it to change pretty damn fast :) |
20:08 | chris | ok, next agenda item? |
20:08 | nengard | and owen - theirs is LEK - not koha ... but whatever - semanics |
20:08 | wizzyrea | nengard: it's equivalent in their minds |
20:08 | pianohacker | nengard: still good to have, if as nothing other than a redirector service, but we're getting ahead of ourselves |
20:08 | wizzyrea | and winning a branding battle is establishing those equivalents |
20:08 | sekjal | I think LL still really thinks they and their customers are definitive Koha community; hence the challenge to HLT |
20:08 | chris | wizzyrea: and in others .. thats the problem |
20:08 | owen | I think we're on to Item 5 on the Agenda (3 and 4 being moot apparently) |
20:08 | SelfishMan | So, is there an offical statement/description of what is happening to be passed on to those that aren't well versed in this whole issue? |
20:09 | IrmaCalyx | I vote yes |
20:09 | owen | Report on legal status of Ohio based Koha Foundation |
20:09 | nengard | pianohacker - oh i agree it's good for us to have - just don't see how it helps them - but you're right - ahead of ourselves |
20:09 | vickiteal left #koha | |
20:09 | chris | thd: can you speak to this? |
20:09 | owen | Or is the Ohio based Koha Foundation moot as well? |
20:09 | chris | SelfishMan: i will endavour to get that in the minutes |
20:09 | brendan | this is what we found : |
20:09 | nengard | sekjal - their customers are aksing us for help cause they can't get answers from support |
20:10 | brendan | owen it does seem moot at this point |
20:10 | Ok here is the info we have discovered about the existing Koha Foundation and how we (the community) can gain control of it. | |
20:10 | ||
20:10 | 1. Research the bylaws; there should be some rules about membership and voting. We could get everyone to join the existing foundation, | |
20:10 | then vote the agent who is on the foundations filed documents off and replace them with someone else. | |
20:10 | ||
20:10 | 2. File a separate foundation under a similar but different name. | |
20:10 | As long as they have a tax ID# associated with the existing foundation we cannot create a foundation with the same name in a different state. | |
20:10 | However we are free to create a foundation supporting the same software under a different name, for example Koha Open Source Foundation etc... | |
20:10 | thd | chris: brendan did the research |
20:10 | brendan | |
20:10 | 3. Have the present agent on the filed foundation sign over their status to another agent (Horowhenua Library Trust). | |
20:10 | This would require Liblime to agree to the hand off. | |
20:10 | sledei joined #koha | |
20:10 | brendan | sorry if that doesn't come through clearly -- I could use paste - if need be |
20:10 | SelfishMan | I have to run, best of luck everyone. I'll be reading the scrollback later tonight |
20:10 | sledei | slef again |
20:11 | owen | brendan: Does LL's Koha foundation even have bylaws? |
20:11 | brendan | not that we have found or seen |
20:11 | sekjal | nengard: I've noticed. there is clearly some cognitive dissonence going on |
20:11 | pianohacker | brendan: do they have to be public to be valid? |
20:11 | owen | So the name registration is pretty much just a blocker |
20:11 | thd | Does it have a federal tax ID? |
20:11 | imp | hm, just start another foundation under the law of another land? |
20:12 | brendan | we could not find a federal tax ID |
20:12 | with the searches we did | |
20:12 | pianohacker | imp: us based nonprofit is useful for fundraising here in the states |
20:12 | brendan | with some money - a more advanced search would be possible |
20:12 | chris | owen: yes it appears it was only registered to stop anyone else registering it |
20:13 | nengard | brendan - money - or a librarian in a business library - is there anyone here like that? |
20:13 | with access to the necessary databases? | |
20:13 | brendan | business librarian would work -- I believe |
20:13 | sekjal | I think my wife has some business resources at her library |
20:13 | I could ask her to perform a search... not sure if she has time, though | |
20:13 | chris | nengard: could you ask your friends in SLA |
20:13 | ? | |
20:13 | sledei | wonder if a law lib would help? |
20:13 | wizzyrea | which databases are you thinking of |
20:14 | nengard | chris, I could do just that - I just need to know what we're looking or specifically |
20:14 | thd | I think that SIBL in New York would have appropriate databases |
20:14 | nengard | and as for law library - I have connections at jenkins law library - but they do charge for business searhces |
20:14 | searches | |
20:14 | chris | putting my paranoia hat on again |
20:14 | Genji | So, Liblime is actively blocking us from taking Koha back? |
20:14 | chris | this is all public and logged |
20:14 | thd | Most everything is free at SIBL |
20:14 | nengard | Genji - actively in their inactivity |
20:14 | brendan | nengard - that's what i've found |
20:14 | nengard | ... |
20:14 | slef3g left #koha | |
20:14 | jransom left #koha | |
20:15 | nengard | it's cause the searches cost them money too |
20:15 | I can ask my connections though | |
20:15 | chris | talking about what we might do to get the already registered foundation, probably means they will block whatever we do |
20:15 | jransom joined #koha | |
20:15 | imp | pianohacker: if it's just the name, create one outside the states, and a second one inside (with another name) and link from the on outside the usa to the one inside (guess it's possible to make the states-based one, member of the other one) |
20:15 | chris | forewarned is forearmed and all that |
20:15 | Genji | Registering a bogus Foundation, right where we want it, name what we want... I'd say thats active. |
20:15 | thd | SIBL is merely a question of signing up for a time slot on the right terminal and knowing how to conduct the search properly |
20:16 | GeorgeSue | Registration?? If the country you are registering in is party to the International Treaty, one registration will suffice |
20:16 | sledei | if ll do, it'd be nice to know it's time to give up on them |
20:16 | pianohacker | Genji: It's possible it was originally formed with better intentions and later ignored/abandoned |
20:16 | brendan | owen - that's it from me, whenever you want to move on |
20:16 | chris | GeorgeSue: ohh thanks for that information |
20:16 | owen | nengard: You'll see what else you can find out and report at the next meeting? |
20:16 | jdavidb left #koha | |
20:17 | * owen | isn't sure it'll mean much, but good to know more |
20:17 | nengard | owen, yes I will try my connections - if someone has a better connection (like a wife) let me know and I'll stop pushing for info |
20:17 | thd | I would not impute the motive at the time it was registered |
20:17 | pianohacker | GeorgeSue: But does that go both ways? Does the existing LL-founded US foundation affect any plans for foundations in other nations? |
20:17 | sekjal | nengard: I'll let you know |
20:17 | nengard | :) |
20:18 | GeorgeSue | Depends on the place of registration |
20:18 | thd | nengard: you are the best connected person I know |
20:18 | nengard | hehe :) I try very hard to stay that way :) |
20:19 | owen | The next item on the agenda is the date of the next meeting, but I'm wondering if we still need to resolve anything about the identity-change voting process. Should this be in process during the next month, or is it tabled until vicki reports back? |
20:19 | sledei | dinner for me. will read log and reply if needed |
20:19 | jransom | are we really going to meet back on christmas eve? |
20:19 | nengard | i won't be here :) |
20:20 | thd | owen: That may be a question of whether doing both helps or hinders vicky |
20:20 | jransom | i don't want to be here :) |
20:20 | GeorgeSue | Sorry I wont be thereeither |
20:20 | owen | No, but if vicki was able to report back to someone by then we might be able to plan better for the next meeting |
20:20 | sledei | would prefer other day but will be here if i have net |
20:20 | jransom | I think we do proceed along dual paths |
20:20 | sledei left #koha | |
20:20 | jransom | and abandon one when we need to |
20:21 | owen | Shall we suggest that she contact jransom directly with what she finds out? |
20:21 | jransom | then we lose nothing. |
20:21 | owen | ...since jransom was part of the first round of negotiations? |
20:21 | chris | jransom++ |
20:21 | wizzyrea | jransom I think that sounds reasonable |
20:21 | jransom | I'm happy to share with Vivky anything useful and helpful |
20:22 | pianohacker | jransom: agreed. We should include in any mailing list posts that this _is_ one of two possible paths, but we should go forward with both |
20:22 | hdl_laptop | jransom++ |
20:22 | jransom | pursue both with equal vigour :) |
20:22 | owen | jransom: What would you propose to do to proceed along the other path, the identity change one? |
20:22 | IrmaCalyx | dual progress is the go! |
20:23 | jransom | get endorsement on the principle to relaunch. |
20:23 | vote on name | |
20:23 | then domain names | |
20:23 | website up | |
20:23 | press releases written | |
20:23 | so those steps. | |
20:23 | will need to be done - but in what order and whan? | |
20:23 | owen | I'm not sure we can get endorsement from the community without hindering vicki's efforts |
20:23 | IrmaCalyx | original Koha, mother Koha, Koha #1, .... |
20:24 | chris | i concur |
20:24 | jransom | maybe the website needs to start immediately |
20:24 | chris | i think forget about the endorsment or name |
20:24 | jransom | can slap on branding near the end when we have a name and logo |
20:24 | chris | BUT |
20:24 | Genji | We need to register the new name, so liblime doesn't claim it, too? |
20:24 | jransom | yes. |
20:24 | chris | we already have |
20:24 | jransom | OpenKoha is ready for us now. |
20:24 | Genji | i mean, in a trademark/legal sense. |
20:24 | chris | what we should be doing |
20:24 | CGI669 joined #koha | |
20:24 | LBA joined #koha | |
20:25 | jransom | ah yes. |
20:25 | Genji | Else liblime might try to claim prior. |
20:25 | chris | is backing up the sites, getting alternate bugzillas, wikis running and alternate website if we need them |
20:25 | jransom | Can someone register that in the states today and cheaply? |
20:25 | chris | turn them all off afterwards |
20:25 | jransom: no | |
20:25 | nothing is cheap with lawyers | |
20:25 | thd | Genji: OpenKoha would probably be a conflicting trademark in the US. |
20:25 | chris | and lets just dial it back a notch |
20:25 | jransom | which would mean LL can't grab it either |
20:26 | chris | we have voted to let vicki try |
20:26 | lets not queer the deal | |
20:26 | thd | Free software project get free lawyers and very good ones. |
20:26 | chris | lets get sites set up we can use, and we can slap a anme on them when/if thats needed |
20:26 | nengard | 3 emails sent out to special librarians - we'll see where that goes |
20:26 | pianohacker | nengard++ |
20:27 | owen | chris++ |
20:27 | wizzyrea | chris: i like that idea, they can be merged if need be with koha.org |
20:27 | chris | exactly |
20:27 | imp | Genji: was koha started by liblime? or community based? (iirc the stuff correct about trademarks, you can get the right to use them, by doing so over a long period of time... can't express it right now correct (and it might be only german law)) |
20:27 | chris | imp: it was most certainly not started by liblime |
20:27 | imp | thd: right :) |
20:27 | Genji | imp: Koha, was started by HLT, via Katipo. |
20:27 | jransom | HLT would be happy to let HLT status as the non profit be used to 'house' these community wikis etc in the interim |
20:27 | CGI669 left #koha | |
20:27 | Genji | But then signed over to liblime.... |
20:28 | chris | only the domain name |
20:28 | katipo and hlt had no trademarks | |
20:28 | you cant trademark koha in nz | |
20:28 | that would be retarded | |
20:28 | Genji | No? |
20:28 | thd | The trademark issue might be good for EFF |
20:28 | jransom | it would be like trademarking 'Hello' in USA |
20:28 | Ngai joined #koha | |
20:28 | thd | EFF may b better on trademarks than SFLC. |
20:28 | jransom | waves at Ngai |
20:28 | Genji | I love this.... Direct from koha.org |
20:28 | The Koha -- Open Source Library System is � 1999-2009 by LibLime & the Koha Development Team | |
20:29 | pianohacker | fyi: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/sho[…]e=4010:80qv82.2.2 |
20:29 | jransom | yes... etxactly .... |
20:29 | Genji | Koha� and the Koha logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of LibLime and BibLibre in the United States, France and other countries. Distributed under the GNU GPL license. |
20:29 | chris | ok, we could talk about this all day :) |
20:29 | but i think we need to move on | |
20:29 | jransom | so is the plan that we start getting community website up and open |
20:29 | owen | Do we need to decide who is going to work on mirrors of bugzilla and the wiki? |
20:30 | pianohacker | chris: motion to table discussion of changing name and what to change it to for after dec 24? |
20:30 | jransom | with an undecided name |
20:30 | chris | pianohacker: seconded |

20:30 | imp | if you use, lets say "foobar" for your product for 10 years (but never register it) and somebody else trys to register it for a product in the same sector, you can get the name back (at least under german law, dunno how that stuff is handled elsewhere) |
20:30 | jransom | we could ask Joshua if he could please point to the community site from his one ... |

20:31 | imp | +1 |
20:31 | nicomo | +1 |
20:31 | owen | Do we have a date for the next developers' meeting? |
20:31 | Genji | mirroring it too, using HTTrack. 25mb down so far. |
20:31 | chris | yes |
20:32 | pianohacker | owen: dec 13, I believe |
20:32 | owen | It's customary to schedule the foundation meeting for the next day, no? |
20:32 | jransom | Offering HLT 'name' or domain for temporary use by Koha community if it would be useful for the temp 'new' 'just in case' site |
20:32 | thd | owen: 13 Jan |
20:32 | chris | and we can never have 2 many mirrors :) |
20:32 | pianohacker | ohh, nvm, typo on my end, thanks thd |
20:32 | jransom | what date scheduled for koha 3.2 release |
20:32 | and do we have flexibility with that? | |
20:33 | gmcharlt | jransom: January |
20:33 | SelfishMan | is anyone fetching bugzilla? |
20:33 | thd | jransom: that will be ready when you fix any blocking bugs |
20:33 | gmcharlt | but I'd prefer not to go too far past january |
20:33 | chris | SelfishMan: pie is |
20:33 | jransom | ok - i'll be testing it extensively next week |
20:33 | rhcl | If anybody is keeping notes Greg Lawson from Rolling Hills Consolidated Library joined late but observed all pertinent proceedings. |
20:33 | chris | thanks rhcl |
20:33 | owen | Should we try to schedule the next foundation meeting earlier in Jan. ? The fifth, perhaps? |
20:34 | jransom | i prefer earlier Jan than mid |
20:34 | pie | yeah, it's taking a while though |
20:34 | 972/3855 bugs | |
20:34 | :( | |
20:34 | then the attachments (1200ish) | |
20:34 | pianohacker | Should we also make a decision to start name discussions asap after dec 24th, or just wait until the foundation meeting in jan? |
20:34 | jransom | so the 5th jan? |
20:35 | nengard | ths is good for me |
20:35 | jransom | I think we could start name discussions. |
20:35 | nengard | or 5th is good for me |
20:35 | owen | Are we rotating meeting times, or is this time good? |
20:35 | SelfishMan | for the record, i can offer high speed http and rsync mirrors in the uk and multiple points in the us |
20:35 | jransom | (not such a selfishman then!) |
20:35 | nengard | hehe |
20:35 | pie | lol |
20:35 | gmcharlt | owen: I think this time is good for the foundation meeting |
20:36 | nengard | yes - this time is good |
20:36 | jransom | me to |
20:36 | SelfishMan | jransom: exactly! |
20:36 | owen | Motion to schedule the next meeting: 19:00 UTC+0 on 5 January 2010 |
20:36 | nengard | +1 |
20:36 | gmcharlt | second |
20:36 | chris | +1 |
20:36 | jransom | so my task is to work with Bob to get sometime 'up' for discussion about the koha subcommittee of HLT |

20:37 | chris | SelfishMan: thank you for that offer |
20:37 | pianohacker | I'm sure than any announcement from vickiteal/jransom on the mailing list of result of negotiations will create more than enough discussion, no formal decision needed there :) |
20:37 | imp | +1 |
20:37 | owen | any loose ends we need to tie up before calling an end to the meeting? |
20:37 | pianohacker | owen: final decision on temp site hosting? |
20:38 | SelfishMan | chris: that goes for dns as well. anything else i can probably do if needed. |
20:38 | thd | ++ |
20:38 | * gmcharlt | muses - "KittenKoha"?, then runs off |
20:38 | owen | I think all we can do is ask for volunteers |
20:38 | veryinky | Koha 3.0.2, the error in updateseller.pl file is fixed? |
20:38 | Genji | Ya.. so I know who to send my mirrored files to. |
20:38 | wizzyrea | afk a lil (LOL gmcharlt) |
20:38 | * nengard | laughing at gmcharlt |
20:38 | jransom | (slaps galen) |
20:38 | SelfishMan | typing on this droid is slow so sorry if i'm way behind |
20:38 | pianohacker | veryinky: meeting, but will end shortly; and then we can help you :) |
20:38 | gmcharlt | owen: yep - and I'm sure we'll have no shortage of volunteers |
20:38 | veryinky | Ah ok. |
20:39 | CGI090 joined #koha | |
20:39 | chris | catalyst will be able to host if needed |
20:39 | jransom | mailing list is the most open channel for sharing so we work on there yes? |
20:39 | Marijana left #koha | |
20:39 | * gmcharlt | is in favor of a lot of distributed - many entities doing hosting of various pieces of <insert name here>.org, and redundancy |
20:39 | Genji | Whats the status of katipo in relation to Koha, these days? |
20:39 | chris | they do koha support |
20:39 | jransom | they are supporting it - have koha clients |
20:40 | chris | gmcharlt++ |
20:40 | SelfishMan | gmcharlt: small world |
20:40 | gmcharlt | jransom: agreed re the mailing list |
20:40 | pianohacker | jransom: work meaning work on temp sites (that is, figure out temp sites there)? |
20:40 | * sekjal | wonders if we could encapsulate Koha resources in Git... |
20:40 | Genji | It would be somewhat poetic if Katipo could host the koha website again. |
20:40 | jransom | oh it so would. |
20:40 | gmcharlt | sekjal: depends on the CMS, but in principle, a lot of it could be put under version control |
20:41 | pianohacker | Genji: Not sure if resources are available/being offered, but it would be poetic |
20:41 | jransom | Rach is still the kaiwhakahaere so has the moral right to. |
20:41 | Genji | Katipo + HLT, back again! |
20:41 | chris | kaitiaki |
20:41 | jransom | oops |
20:41 | Kaitiaki | |
20:42 | chris | drupal is what i would lean towards, catalyst, katipo and biblibre all have signficant drupal expertise |
20:42 | jransom | Richard was here but is gone now - Chris: you want to ask Rach or shall I?. |
20:42 | nengard | not that my opinion mattes here - but i hate drupal |
20:42 | chris | and it allows collaboration well |
20:42 | thd | gmcharlt++ distributed redundancy |
20:42 | chris | i hate all cms's |
20:42 | pianohacker | nengard: Well, for which reasons? |
20:42 | pie | sekjal: I was just thinking that too ... I have a bug tracker that saves things in Git, but probably wouldn't be that useful in this situation :) |
20:42 | chris | but i hate plone a million times more than drupal |
20:43 | owen | plone-- |
20:43 | SelfishMan | drupal-- |
20:43 | imp | trac++ |
20:43 | nengard | pianohacker the interface is not intuitive, i don't think it's easy to customize the appearance and i disagree that it handles collaboration well - unless you want to really dig deep to figure it out |
20:43 | Genji | doesn't katipo have their own cms? |
20:43 | * veryinky | will be back, need to check something. |
20:43 | veryinky left #koha | |
20:43 | chris | http://www.odt.co.nz/ |
20:43 | is drupal | |
20:43 | sekjal | it would probably take some work, but perhaps we could find a way to distill the essential data, put it in a Gig repo, then let different hosts display the data in the CMS of their choice |
20:43 | davi | trac++ |
20:43 | hdl_laptop | kea |
20:43 | chris | you can customise it |
20:43 | nengard | but i'm with chris - not sure there is one that's any better - except wordpress - which is what i use for all websites - and wordpress mu would make it so tat we could have a real community site on the new domain |
20:43 | jransom | yep... but i think they are moving towards other solutions ie drupal |
20:44 | nengard | chris - yeah if you're a very patient person |
20:44 | and i'm not :) | |
20:44 | sekjal | wordpress++ |
20:44 | nengard | wordpress is what nekls uses |
20:44 | chris | nengard: exactly but like i said, catalyst, biblibre and katipo have significant drupal skills |
20:44 | nengard | yup - which is why i said my opionion didn't matter |
20:44 | pianohacker | owen: as this is kind of a secondary discussion, consider meeting over? |
20:44 | chris | yep |
20:44 | Ata | wordpress++++ |
20:44 | gmcharlt | of course, ultimately it depends on what can be set up reasonably quickly, though I wouldn't mind Drupal or WPMU |
20:44 | Genji | Anyway, yes, please someone email Rach. |
20:44 | jransom | if chris is going to use his inhouse team then i think he should make the call |
20:45 | SelfishMan | is a cms even needed? |
20:45 | CGI018 | \nick kyle_laptop |
20:45 | jransom | we want tomake this easy if we can |
20:45 | owen | I've only heard Catalyst volunteered |
20:45 | thd | chris: you can customise Zope without Plone fairly easily in Python |
20:45 | SelfishMan | zope-- |
20:46 | owen | ...but I'm happy to let the discussion continue and call the meeting closed for folks who aren't interested |
20:46 | CGI018 | what about joomla? |
20:46 | thd | SelfishMan: Zope underlies Plone |
20:46 | jransom | katipo use that a bit too |
20:46 | wizzyrea | nekls has erm, considerable wp experience >.> |
20:46 | chris | ok, im bailing out on this |
20:46 | brendan | we would be more than happy to offer some webspace up |
20:46 | chris | cos this could go on for years |
20:46 | wizzyrea | hehe for re al |
20:46 | brendan | *nods* |
20:46 | sekjal | horribly impractical idea: develop our own Wave client, and use that for all the community's DNA |
20:46 | rhcl | We tested both Joomla and Drupal here, and found that Drupal was much better overall and much easier to work with. YMMV |
20:46 | chris | i dont actually care what is running the site |
20:46 | wizzyrea | my kid says hi |
20:47 | jransom | can i suggest that chris just does it |
20:47 | SelfishMan | thd: not a big fan of zope but my bias is five years old |
20:47 | * Genji | laughs. |
20:47 | chris | lets jsut have one that more than just liblime can edit please |
20:47 | brendan | heh |
20:47 | nengard | yup yup |
20:47 | Ropuch | Hello everybody |
20:47 | thd | chris++ |
20:47 | SelfishMan | jransom++ |
20:47 | jransom | chris++ |
20:47 | * Genji | nods. "Would love it if katipo hosts it, poetic.. .but it doesn't really matter, as long as its hosted. |
20:48 | pie | hey guys, not sure if this even helps, but I've been working on a site for KohaCon for next year ... |
20:48 | nengard | i'm with chris - i don't care where it is as long as multiple people have rights to edit everything! |
20:48 | pie | http://kohacon.appspot.com/ <- though the images and suchlike don't load at the moment :( |
20:48 | imp | what's the aim with an cms? for news? or wiki and such stuff? |
20:48 | magnusenger | how about using a wiki for as much as possible, and then something relatively simple like wp strictly for news? |
20:48 | thd | The good thing about Plone is the CSS which were allso adapted for Wikidedia |
20:48 | pie | anyone with a Google Account can get admin access (though not much there at the moment) |
20:48 | wizzyrea | ohh you said the G word |
20:48 | nengard | magnusenger - i find the wiki very hard to navigate - and we need the site to promote the software with more than just news |
20:48 | pie | heh, oopse |
20:49 | thd | LibLime discarded the Plone CSS and started over to some degree |
20:49 | pianohacker | thd: that would explain why it seems to alternate between crashing and 3-second freezing firefox... |
20:49 | magnusenger | nengard: agree that the current wiki is hard, i would prefer MediaWiki... |
20:49 | * imp | would be happy about something like trac, you can browse the source, statics sites, wiki, even a forum if you like - what do you want more? |
20:50 | nengard | mediawiki would be no easier to navigate |
20:50 | thd | nengard: I have a solution for Wiki navigation |
20:50 | nengard | not with the amount of content we have :) |
20:50 | wizzyrea | i would love to see something like the wordpress codex |
20:50 | sekjal | I really like the idea of separating the community data from its presentation logic. |
20:51 | magnusenger | nengard: i think it's easier to structure, but probably just because i know it better... |
20:51 | nengard | oooo i like wizzyrea's idea :) |
20:51 | sekjal | get some kind of structured data format that most of the major CMS's can ingest, roll it up in Git, and distribute. |
20:52 | thd | nengard: While I think that MediaWiki is the best internationalisations solution for the long term. I have been running a customised verson of DokUWiki templates for three years with the aim of improving readablility and navigation |
20:52 | pianohacker | http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:About |
20:52 | chris | ok, thanks all |
20:52 | i have to get to work now | |
20:52 | bbl | |
20:52 | pianohacker | cya chris |
20:52 | pie | have fun (and see you soon) :) |
20:52 | wizzyrea | we have two problems: 1. for promotion/landing site of koha, 2. for technical documentation |
20:52 | pianohacker | wizzyrea: 3. bugzilla? |
20:52 | wizzyrea | 2.1 and bug tracking |
20:53 | pianohacker | *jinx* |
20:53 | yeah, could be rolled into doc tool | |
20:53 | changing our bug db could be significantly harder than changing your CMS | |
20:53 | owen | pianohacker: How so? |
20:53 | pianohacker | s/your/our/ |
20:53 | thd | nengard: I will propose community consideration of a change to a different set of templates for DokuWiki to better support navigation and readability in due course |
20:53 | nengard | documentation will be in XML - so any site that can grab that and apply a stylesheet to generate the documentation works for me |
20:53 | thd cool | |
20:53 | pianohacker | owen: even if not something like trac, the two are related to some extent |
20:54 | jransom | are we finished now? |
20:54 | Genji | uh... the koha logo is copyright Liblime now.... we need a new logo? |
20:54 | owen | jransom: Yes, thanks for your help |
20:54 | jransom | should realy go to work if the koha community meeting is finished |
20:54 | pianohacker | Genji: Bleh, we'll have to figure that out when/if we start naming discussions |
20:54 | Ata left #koha | |
20:55 | CGI018 left #koha | |
20:55 | jransom | soon - please |
20:55 | to give time. | |
20:56 | also shows that we are deadly serious about sorting out this domain name situation | |
20:56 | thd | jransom: owen suggested that putting it all forward now would hurt vicki's prospects of succeeding |
20:56 | pianohacker | jransom: I think the vote was to table until directly after dec 24 |
20:57 | thd | own: do you have further comment about what you think helps or hurts vicki's prospects? |
20:57 | owen: Do you have further comment about what you think helps or hurts vicki's prospects? | |
20:57 | wizzyrea | if LL thinks that we are serious about changing the name, then they won't be inclined to give us back our real name |
20:57 | owen | I agree with wizzyrea |
20:58 | wizzyrea | and they get all of that mindshare associated with the koha name |
20:58 | thd | wizzyrea: I tend to agree |
20:58 | wizzyrea | and they can go ahead and make koha.org basicallly liblimekoha.org |
20:58 | pianohacker | a name change is a large step forward in both good and bad ways |
20:58 | owen | But I think it's going to take some real agitating on the part of LL customers to make a difference |
20:58 | pianohacker | owen: is your library self-supported? |
20:58 | jransom | ok . |
20:59 | LBA | is anyone organizing LL customers? |
20:59 | * pianohacker | 's impression was that Nelsonville was an LL customer |
20:59 | Genji | Im worried that LL will look at this log and freak. |
20:59 | owen | pianohacker: We're still with LibLime for a while longer |
20:59 | jransom | Vicky is I think. |
20:59 | thd | own: how much do non-LEK customers count anymore in the mind of kados? |
20:59 | wizzyrea | yes, there is organization within liblime customers |
20:59 | he still sells non-lek products | |
21:00 | owen | thd: I'm not sure non-WALDO customers count in the mind of kados. But that's just me being snarky, I don't really know. |
21:00 | sekjal | LBA: there is also KUDOS, the US-based Koha group, of which many members are/shall be LL customers |
21:00 | pianohacker | Genji: I think that LL/Josh has been acting cynically lately but not publically petty |
21:01 | wizzyrea | plus, he's apparently on vacay until the 17th |
21:01 | LBA | Know about KUDOS. Was wondering if LL customers were working together to put pressure on LL to do the right thing. And who/what is Kados? |
21:01 | wizzyrea | ^.^ |
21:01 | chris | LBA: kados is joshua |
21:01 | its his irc/wikipedia nick | |
21:01 | LBA | I'm happy to apply pressure...I have nothing to lose as a 3p consultant. |
21:02 | sekjal | just out of curiousity, does anyone else here have a wikipedia login they use? some pages in our general sphere have not been updated in recent history |
21:02 | veryinky joined #koha | |
21:02 | * pianohacker | is Pianohacker |
21:02 | nengard | sekjal i have a login on wikipedia |
21:02 | LBA | it would help me to talk with current LL customers. they are the ones who I don't want to alienate. |
21:03 | jransom | I really hope LL customers can make a difference here - it would the very best result if we don;t have to rename. |
21:03 | pianohacker | LBA: Just out of curiosity, what is your affiliation? |
21:03 | jransom: would also set an excellent precedent going forward | |
21:03 | LBA | independent lib tech consultant galecia group |
21:03 | jransom | yep. |
21:03 | pianohacker | sekjal: do any pages pop to mind? |
21:03 | pie | ok, KohaCon looks better now -> http://kohacon.appspot.com/ |
21:03 | jransom | and would heal the breach in the koha community between LL and non-LL libraries |
21:03 | nengard | jransom - the problem that i see is that too many librarians are passive and just go with the flow - it's what they've learned after years of dealing with the old vendors - so happy or not they don't seem to fight much |
21:03 | pie | (very initial prototype though) |
21:04 | chris | yay pie |
21:04 | nengard | of course that's not all lbirarians - a few here are big fighters - myself included |
21:04 | pie | :) |
21:04 | chris | bywater solutions gets the first sponsorship slot |
21:04 | bywater_solutions++ | |
21:04 | wizzyrea | oh hey that looks nice |
21:05 | i'm sad that there *is* a breach between ll and non ll customers | |
21:05 | :( | |
21:05 | that's certainly not what we had in mind when we signed up | |
21:05 | chris | yeah, lets close that |
21:05 | pianohacker | wizzyrea: some ll customers |
21:05 | SelfishMan | nengard: very true. they usually don't have the resources to investigate for themselves so they ask the neighbors and parent orgs |
21:05 | sekjal | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koha_(software) does not reflect the currently released version, and the history could stand to be flushed out further |
21:05 | LBA | my take is that many current LL customers are not getting what they signed up for - an ILS without vendor lock-in |
21:06 | chris | yep it needs to be edited |
21:06 | nengard | sekjal i'll fix it |
21:06 | wizzyrea | lba that would be accurate in many cases |
21:06 | thd | jransom: Beyond avoiding renaming it would help if kados would appreciate that he has much more to gain by helping the community and that he looses nothing of value in helping. |
21:06 | pianohacker | wizzyrea: Those that involve themselves in the community are actively working to shorten the gap |
21:06 | jransom | pie: cool |
21:06 | chris | LBA: its certainly what im hearing too |
21:06 | Genji | LBA: and the website of LL's 'no vendor lock-in' .... something like false advertising. |
21:06 | pie | jransom: yeah, Chris was wanting something up so we'll be putting things in there from the wiki |
21:07 | LBA | if people would talk to me, I'd be happy to do my best at posting sentiments and urging a closing of the breach - while protecting anonymity |
21:07 | sekjal | thanks, nengard |
21:07 | nengard | sekjal - someone beat me to it ... |
21:07 | pianohacker | pie: hey, what do you have running on appspot to create that site? Looks very nice |
21:07 | pie | at the moment, it's just static but hopefully soon it'll be logginable and changeable |
21:07 | jransom | thd: absolutely agree. George and I have spent hours talking our way through trying to find a way to bring Joshua back in from he cold. |
21:07 | pie | pianohacker: just a small bit of Python ... I'll get you the repo |
21:07 | pianohacker | pie: ah, cool |
21:07 | pie | http://gitorious.org/kohacon |
21:07 | it's all there for the moment | |
21:07 | davi | OpenKoha is not a good name IMHO |
21:07 | owen | jransom: It makes me very sad to hear that he questioned your position as negotiator |
21:08 | wizzyrea | freekoha makes me think of three things: 1. FreeCell 2. SkiFree and 3. Free Willy |
21:08 | imp | .oO(freeware *puke* ;) |
21:09 | thd | jransom: It is not a business exclusion but a personality conflict which seems to be the difficult obstacle from my conversations with him at ALA. |
21:09 | davi | Free could be better, but we should manage to find a better name than OpenKoha |
21:09 | pianohacker | davi: We have tabled that discussion at least formally, but I'm curious why not? |
21:09 | SelfishMan | yeah, openkoha would be a bad move. either keep the current or completely change it |
21:09 | owen | Let the informal discussion happen as it may |
21:09 | davi | Open does not meant freedom. See our current problems |
21:10 | chris | davi++ |
21:10 | thd | imp: free software killed freeware / shareware in the market. |
21:10 | jransom | its a nice contrast to koha (as in open vs closed) lol |
21:10 | pianohacker | davi: free as in libre is an excellent ideal but will likely have different connotations than open |
21:10 | davi | SelfishMan++ |
21:10 | chris | its not closed, its just not free |
21:10 | pianohacker | Explaining the meaning of koha is always a nice bit piece at conferences, but people already have hangups on free/open |
21:11 | jransom | I know - but the english grad in me thinks closed when i see open |
21:11 | sekjal | the part of me that really hates losing thinks we should fight for the name we have. the more practical side thinks that it might not be the best tactic |
21:11 | chris | have you read brenda chawners piece? |
21:11 | davi | pianohacker, Bad connotations or good ones? |
21:11 | IrmaCalyx | What about: GlobalKoha? |
21:11 | wizzyrea | sekjal: I'm with you |
21:11 | ooh | |
21:11 | imp | thd: yes, but i dont like it if people confuse both things, nearly every time if we talk about licensing stuff at the lib where i deployed koha, i have to explain the difference :/ |
21:11 | wizzyrea | GlobalKoha |
21:11 | chris | what about Icantbelivesomeamericancorporationhashijackedamaoriword |
21:11 | jransom | also, it is not completely outside the bounds of possibility that koha.org will come back to the community in the fullness of time |
21:12 | SelfishMan | NotUrmomsILS |
21:12 | pianohacker | chris: are there any good derived terms from Koha? |
21:12 | chris | .org |
21:12 | jransom | we can slip back to koha very easily from openkoha |
21:12 | davi | I would agree the best option is follow using just "Koha" |
21:12 | pianohacker | chris: ICANN would probably approve it :P |
21:12 | IrmaCalyx | chris: that's a good one! A bit long? |
21:12 | CGI090 left #koha | |
21:12 | davi | pianohacker, Is there a wiki page or similar when we can add possible names to use if we can not use Koha at the end? |
21:13 | jransom | chris: yeah thats brilliant. definitely make it one of the options. |
21:13 | sekjal | http://hello.org: it works! |
21:13 | pianohacker | davi: better to keep it informal for now, I would think :) |
21:13 | chris | http://of2minds.net/reflections/?p=41 |
21:13 | i encourage you all to read this | |
21:13 | rhcl | koala? |
21:13 | davi | pianohacker, ack |
21:13 | thd | imp: people will not understand open properly either. I also like KohaLibre which avoids the ambiguity over free. |
21:13 | jwagner left #koha | |
21:13 | Ngai | :-) |
21:13 | davi | I am reading, thanks chris |
21:13 | pianohacker | davi: Just keep it in mind for after dec 24th when we find out the results of vickiteal's pressure |
21:14 | wizzyrea | which I think of "nacho libre" but my free associations should not hinder the naming process lol |
21:14 | (a movie I haven't even seen) | |
21:14 | owen | I have problems with the term "Libre" as well from the point of view of American ears |
21:15 | ftherese | libre sounds good to me |
21:15 | are you guys done with your meeting yet? | |
21:15 | davi | ack, pianohacker |
21:15 | chris | ftherese: ages ago :) |
21:15 | wizzyrea | yep |
21:15 | thd | owen: yes I do not propose it actually because it is not English enough. |
21:15 | pianohacker | ...as in acknowledged? |
21:15 | chris | thd: and koha is? |
21:15 | ftherese | what can be done to speed up koha's response time? |
21:15 | pianohacker | regardless of english; a maori/french combo is a bit jarring |
21:16 | ftherese | just in general |
21:16 | imp | pianohacker: true |
21:16 | chris | ftherese: put expires headers on all the static files |
21:16 | thd | chris: Koha is at least known |
21:16 | pianohacker | what he said |
21:16 | jransom left #koha | |
21:16 | Genji | ack, just realised, httrack is a bad mirroring program. It doesn't save the url as doku.php?etc... but as doku<some serial number>.html |
21:16 | SelfishMan | genji: yep |
21:16 | chris | ftherese: give mysql as much ram as possible |
21:16 | thd | chris: We do not want to loose the known and recognised word. |
21:16 | imp | what's the maori word for leafs? |
21:17 | chris | leaves? |
21:17 | Genji | SelfishMan:not what you wanted eh? |
21:17 | pianohacker | ftherese: also, if you're running a recent version of koha, bug them about memcached |
21:17 | SelfishMan | but the content is at least there |
21:17 | pianohacker | imp: from the logo? |
21:17 | imp | chris: jupp |
21:17 | ftherese | bug bug bug |
21:17 | who do I bug? | |
21:17 | SelfishMan | genji: i knew that going in but not a lot of other options |
21:17 | ftherese | and chris: how do I do what you suggested? |
21:17 | pianohacker | ftherese: Whoever admins your Koha install. Note that by recent I mean git |
21:17 | imp | pianohacker: from the logo? thought it's a wave? |
21:17 | tajoli joined #koha | |
21:18 | Genji | SelfishMan:you using httrack too? |
21:18 | SelfishMan | yep |
21:18 | Genji | Ah. .... so im getting the exact amount of files you are going to get. |
21:18 | pianohacker | imp: no idea. Where do the leaves come from? |
21:18 | Genji | currently: 105 mbs, 2623 files written. |
21:18 | chris | imp: whārangi |
21:19 | * pie | is up to Bug 2725 |
21:19 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2725 normal, P3, ---, paul.poulainbiblibre.com, NEW, uppercasesurnames preference not working |
21:19 | pie | lol |
21:19 | pianohacker | bleh, macron |
21:19 | chris: are there any short/memorable/pleasing sounding maori versions of any of the words we've discussed? | |
21:19 | chris | you could use rau |
21:19 | for leaf also | |
21:20 | kohamatatou, 3 words koha ma tatou .. ma tatou means = for/of/by us all | |
21:20 | imp | pianohacker: pages from books -> leaves ;) |
21:20 | SelfishMan | i think 'rau' is illegal in montana |
21:20 | pianohacker | ftherese: a google search for "apache expires" turns up docs and tutorials |
21:20 | ftherese: regardless, it'll be editing your koha-httpd.conf in some fashion | |
21:20 | SelfishMan: bahaha, dare I ask why? | |
21:21 | Ngai left #koha | |
21:21 | ftherese | pianohacker: ok thank you |
21:21 | SelfishMan | is the latest mod_perl happy? |
21:21 | pianohacker | kohamatatou sounds kind of interesting |
21:21 | SelfishMan: still not officially supported | |
21:21 | imp | "rau" is the german word for an uneven surface ;) |
21:22 | rhcl | I eat rau vegetables sometimes, but they ususally taste better cooked. |
21:22 | owen | 'til tomorrow, folks. |
21:22 | imp | cya owen |
21:22 | thd | chris: how does rau relate? |
21:22 | owen left #koha | |
21:22 | pianohacker | You can try, but you are guaranteed to run into problems which the only support we can offer for is "turn off mod_perl, it is eeeevil" |
21:22 | chris | dunno |
21:22 | imp asked for the maori word for leaf | |
21:22 | IrmaCalyx | cheerio all - off for some breakfast ... |
21:22 | chris | i gave him 2 ;) |
21:22 | pianohacker | bye, IrmaCalyx |
21:22 | chris | plurals in maori dont change the word |
21:22 | te rau = the leaf | |
21:23 | nga rau = the leaves | |
21:23 | LBA | leaves...tree....evergreen |
21:23 | SelfishMan | pianohacker: tried mod_perl long ago but wasn't sure if changes were made recently |
21:23 | chris | whārangi is a better word for leaf tho |
21:23 | thd | chris: I thought that you had been offering a word for openness and/or freedom |
21:23 | chris | nope |
21:23 | imp | (offtopic) what's the name for the double-helix? |
21:23 | chris | koha is the word for openness and/or freedom |
21:23 | SelfishMan | no diacritics in the new name please |
21:23 | pianohacker | imp: as in dna or the shape? |
21:24 | kohakoha? | |
21:24 | chris | could use humarie, or rangimarie which both mean peace |
21:25 | imp | pianohacker: the maori symbol one |
21:25 | chris | koru |
21:25 | like in the koha logo? | |
21:25 | * Genji | laughs. "Koha was the word that Rach used to describe the almost free status of the ILS.... and the open status. So saying OpenKoha, or FreeKoha is pretty much repeating itself" |
21:25 | pianohacker | sharing? If you object being used as a human english-maori dictionary, feel free to say so :) |
21:25 | chris | manakitangi |
21:25 | manakitanga even | |
21:26 | thd | nengard: are you still here? |
21:26 | chris | or whakawhiriwhiri |
21:26 | nengard | uh huh |
21:26 | wizzyrea | well whakawhiriwhiri seems appealing |
21:26 | chris | imp: a koru is used to symbolise new growth/life |
21:26 | LBA | koru++ |
21:27 | Genji | Korukoha? |
21:27 | chris | its why its part of the logo |
21:27 | rhcl | what about neke? |
21:27 | IrmaCalyx left #koha | |
21:27 | LBA | what about something that means the original one or source or foundation ... |
21:27 | SelfishMan | koru isn't bad as long as there is an audio file with the correct pronunciation on the site |
21:27 | thd | nengard: for the links to a new name to have some weight you might consider changing all your old blog posts to a new domain and encourage others to do the same. |
21:27 | chris | in what context rhcl ? |
21:28 | nengard | thd - oh i will - as soon as the site is moved - if it's moved |
21:28 | ftherese | how do I give more ram to mysql? |
21:28 | Genji | from Rach, the origin of Koha, and its still on LL's website. "Koha isn't a company - it's very important that you understand this. Koha is a project and a product, but many companies are involved in producing Koha. " |
21:28 | chris | /etc/mysql/my.conf |
21:29 | koru is well overused | |
21:29 | Genji | http://lists.katipo.co.nz/publ[…]-June/011814.html |
21:29 | chris | in nz |
21:30 | SelfishMan | koru would sell well over here |
21:30 | thd | nengard: are their scripts which could do that globally for popular blogging software without site administration access? |
21:30 | nengard | doubt it |
21:30 | chris | lets give vicki a chance first |
21:30 | then we can thrash out names | |
21:31 | thd | vicki+++ |
21:31 | collum left #koha | |
21:31 | LBA | yes, chris, and think positively |
21:31 | chris | LBA: its hard, this crap has been going for over a year now |
21:31 | but im trying to | |
21:32 | LBA | I think it needs to be made more clear to the outside world what LL is doing. |
21:32 | chris | i was hoping librarians would do so |
21:32 | LBA | now that more are turning on to the os idea, I think it is a good time |
21:32 | chris | as developers and support companies |
21:32 | its hard for us to say anything | |
21:32 | because we get we are attacking the competition leveled at us | |
21:33 | wizzyrea | and customers have fear of retribution |
21:33 | LBA | yes, not your job. and yes, it's risky for customers. that's why people like me have to help get it out. |
21:33 | brendan | LBA++ |
21:34 | Nate left #koha | |
21:34 | Genji | how easy is it to export a LEK db to a Koha db? |
21:34 | chris | hard |
21:34 | heupink left #koha | |
21:34 | chris | because no one has ever seen a LEK db |
21:34 | thats the whole point | |
21:34 | not even LEK uses get to see it | |
21:35 | Genji | What of marc mass-exporting? |
21:35 | chris | plus they have renamed columns |
21:35 | you are asking the wrong people | |
21:35 | you need to ask LL | |
21:35 | * Genji | nods. Laughs. "Okay, so people on LEK are effectively trapped. |
21:36 | sekjal | I will push KUDOS to act as an educator in the library world, helping to foster the profession's understanding of the project and how to get involved |
21:36 | chris | thats kinda the point isnt it? |
21:36 | wizzyrea | sekjal++ |
21:36 | Ropuch | Genji: feel the irony of "no vendor lock-in" on LEK advertiding ;> |
21:36 | chris | sekjal++ |

21:36 | chris | get rid of all those z's |
21:36 | and put some u's back in | |
21:36 | * Genji | nods. "Someone needs to write a LEK spider to marc export script? |
21:36 | wizzyrea | lol rangi |
21:37 | chris | but seriously, yes in script and variable names |
21:37 | thd | chris: I meant most importantly the ones which are wrong in every English dialect |
21:37 | chris | yes |
21:38 | ill be expecting patches from you doing just that ;-) | |
21:38 | thd | They are very easy to trip over when writing code |
21:38 | pianohacker | bbl |
21:38 | ftherese left #koha | |
21:39 | thd | chris: I have submitted them but I lost the argument about fixing spelling errors in the past as dangerous refactoring |
21:39 | chris: My patches were considered bugs | |
21:40 | sekjal | I'm all for considering a moderate-large refactoring for Koha 4.0 |
21:40 | magnusenger | good night (or other time of the day) everyone! |
21:40 | sekjal | I've got large, impractical ideas that will take too much time |
21:40 | chris | yeah well you will win with 3.4, cos thats the point of it |
21:41 | course if your patches introduce bugs, they will be assigned to you :) | |
21:41 | thd | yaaah |
21:42 | magnusenger left #koha | |
21:42 | LBA | can I suggest that any LL customers who want to talk to me about their situation, please email me at loriayregmail.com...then I'll pop out and let you carry on about bugs :0 |
21:42 | thd | To be fair my patches were an incomplete fix and therefore they were bugs but I was not allowed to continue and fix spelling errors as bugs themselves |
21:43 | vickiteal joined #koha | |
21:46 | Ropuch | Guess it's hight time for to get familiar with git |
21:46 | chris | LBA: might be nest to email that to the list |
21:47 | because apart from vickiteal and wizzyrea there arent any other LL customers here | |
21:47 | afaik | |
21:49 | wizzyrea | not at the moment :( |
21:49 | brendan | ah time for some lunch |
21:49 | bbiab | |
21:54 | ftherese joined #koha | |
21:57 | LBA | okay, thanks Chris, will do. |
21:59 | vickiteal | Meetings done, right? |
22:00 | I got disconnected from the chat, so missed rest of meeting. :( I will wait for text to be posted. Bye. | |
22:00 | LBA | Bye and thanks. |

22:04 | ftherese | chris: I am getting an Invalid command 'Header' error message when trying to use expires thing for apache... is there a quick solution? |
22:05 | chris | you probably dont have the module enables |
22:05 | enabled even | |
22:05 | ftherese | I am going to try this LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so |
22:06 | is it there? or do I have to install it separately for ubuntu standard install? if you don't know I'll just keep poking around | |
22:07 | Genji | SelfishMan: 2 hours and 8 minutes.. still going. |
22:07 | nicomo left #koha | |
22:07 | sekjal | time to head out. great meeting and followup discussions, all. |
22:08 | sekjal left #koha | |
22:11 | ftherese | hmmm... I don't know which libapache2-mod to add |
22:11 | there isn't one explicitly for headers | |
22:11 | is it contained within something else? | |
22:12 | sudo a2enmod headers | |
22:12 | found it I think | |
22:12 | chris | that looks likely |
22:16 | Genji | 2 hr 17mins, 196 MB and growing. |
22:18 | imp | Genji: do they have a small uplink? |
22:18 | Genji | Hmm? oh.. im on new zealand ADSL. |
22:21 | pie | can't connect to http://bugs.koha.org/ anymore |
22:21 | it's timing out | |
22:21 | chris | same for overseas? can someone in the us confirm? |
22:21 | imp | it's working here |
22:21 | brendan | I am able to connect |
22:21 | imp | but a little bit slow ;) |
22:21 | pie | hmm |
22:21 | thanks | |
22:21 | chris | maybe just our ip blocked |
22:21 | i cant from my work computer | |
22:22 | pie | up to bug 3392/3855 |
22:22 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3392 minor, PATCH-Sent, ---, gcollumgmail.com, RESOLVED FIXED, Patrons with no checkout report table not highlighting |
22:22 | pie | lol (again) |
22:22 | chris | can from home |
22:22 | Genji | mass-downloading could be interpreted as an attack by an automated system. |
22:22 | chris | so yeah blocked from work |
22:22 | imp | Genji: right |
22:22 | that's the reason why i'm unsure about mirroring it or not | |
22:23 | chris | well we dont want to lose all the content |
22:24 | Genji | could get done for attacking a website. |
22:24 | pie | no-one is attacking it |
22:24 | * Genji | nods.. |
22:25 | wizzyrea | I can get into it |
22:25 | imp | yeah, if i want, i can use a machine with a gbit uplink... i'm pretty sure it'll leave any ids screaming DOS... |
22:25 | (but i'm not sure who much traffic can be pushed down to .nz | |
22:26 | Genji | ill dl it all with httrack, then ill use a specific dokuwiki again, to see if i can get the correct doku url format, raw pages. Just using httrack now to get the content off there, just in case. |
22:27 | nengard left #koha | |
22:36 | bebbi left #koha | |
22:44 | ftherese | I tried doing the expires thing for the headers, but koha is still very slow to respond |
22:55 | Genji | what is evil about mod_perl + koha btw? |
22:55 | rhcl | http://bugs.koha.org/ <- works for me - apparent normal speed |
23:05 | cait | time to sleep - bye all :) |

23:13 | SelfishMan | Genji: I'm still running, 3600 objects fetched. Might be time to find a better way to pull it |
23:14 | Genji | SelfishMan: 5000 for me. Like said, im getting it down, then im going to try again with a script i found. |
23:16 | something from http://www.raykee.com/wiki:export | |
23:18 | SelfishMan | ganyeah, I'm trying a totally different way |
23:18 | dpavlin left #koha | |
23:19 | Genji | SelfishMan: what you trying? |
23:19 | SelfishMan | wget -m -e robots=off |
23:19 | Genji | -m -e? |
23:19 | SelfishMan | -m is mirror |
23:20 | and -e sets a flag | |
23:20 | gives me filenames like "doku.php?id=ubuntu_9.04_based_opac_kiosk" | |
23:20 | Genji | its a real pity that doku doesn't have any exporter built in. |
23:20 | SelfishMan | I know |
23:20 | Genji | Ah, very nice. |
23:21 | SelfishMan | much faster |
23:21 | Ropuch | Ok, goodnight all |
23:21 | chris_n2 | g'night Ropuch |
23:27 | imp | do you want every open bug, or all bugs? |
23:29 | Topic for #koha is now Discussion channel for the Koha ILS | Next general irc meeting is scheduled at 19:00 UTC+0 on 13 January 2010 | |
23:30 | chris_n2 | imp: all bugs I'd suspect |
23:31 | imp | k |
23:31 | chris_n2 | we'd hate to lose the history |
23:32 | imp | will fetch the 1 - 4000 right now, creating a list of "no go links" later and then pull the attachements |
23:33 | Genji | I assume your using xm.cgi? |
23:33 | xml.cgi? | |
23:34 | imp | ohh |
23:34 | good idea | |
23:34 | used show_bug.cgi.. | |
23:35 | (without ctype=xml) | |
23:35 | Genji | write a script... for 'ing through and wgetting.. or LWPing. |
23:36 | imp | just a simple for loop with `seq 1 4000` |
23:36 | (and -O $i ;) | |
23:36 | Genji | ah sure. |
23:37 | * imp | likes the bash |
23:37 | Genji | what version of bugzilla is it? |
23:37 | http://old.nabble.com/Bugzilla[…])-to10722199.html | |
23:38 | imp | version 3.0.4.1-2+lenny1 |
23:38 | Genji | that url will give you the ability to export without scripting. |
23:42 | imp | you mean by adding multiple &id=.. fields? |
23:45 | Genji | http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]y_format=advanced |
23:45 | then just click search, then XML | |
23:45 | way at the bottom of the list | |
23:46 | got it? | |
23:48 | imp | clicked xml - waiting now :D |
23:49 | Genji | woops. |
23:49 | forgot to mention, select all statuses | |
23:49 | click stop, start over. | |
23:50 | imp | there are crossed out ones listed (wontfix, fixed, worksforme) |
23:50 | Genji | yes, chris_n2 wants all of the entire db. |
23:52 | my search says 3849 bugs entirely. | |
23:52 | imp | bla, malformed xml bla line Nr. 23149, row 265: .... |
23:52 | think i'll just continue using wget | |
23:53 | every bug on it's own | |
23:53 | one per file | |
23:53 | thats ok i think | |
23:53 | Genji | how about.... wget the url that xml was trying to get. |
23:53 | copy and paste the url from the address bar. | |
23:53 | all the id #'s are in it. | |
23:54 | imp | Genji: i'm already fetching the bugs in xml format |
23:54 | Genji | k |
23:54 | imp | (at least, since you mentioned it :) |
23:55 | nearly 0.5k/3,8k | |
23:55 | so it won't take that long | |
23:55 | (with a friendly 1s sleep between each one) |
