00:04 owen Is everyone done being pissed off or can I join in?
00:05 * chris_n growls
00:05 owen PTFS--
00:06 Liblime--
00:06 LEK--
00:06 Joann++
00:09 nengard owen - not so much pissed off - as I am frustrated that no matter how hard we try we cna't seem to teach them what open source really means
00:09 I'm with you though
00:10 Joann++
00:10 HLT++
00:10 owen I'd feel better if they were just stubbornly evil. Now they think they need to go on the record as insulting HLT andthe Koha community
00:11 It's a shame Josh isn't sticking with Liblime and PTFS, they're made for each other.
00:11 Nate joined #koha
00:14 Nate left #koha
00:15 nengard LOL @owen
00:16 rhcl Josh I and now Josh II
00:17 Joann Can someone make a change to the event calender please on koha-community.org

00:17 Joann yes please
00:18 chris and it magically shows up

00:18 then site admin
00:18 nengard then 'add new' under post
00:18 Joann quick press or a real post?
00:18 nengard real post
00:18 Joann ok
00:19 nengard at the very bottom of your screen is an events area - click the plus sign
00:19 to add the event - but make sure you write something in your post as well :)
00:19 Joann just in the heading or body or both
00:20 owen chris_n++ # for a nice response on the list
00:20 * owen is still trying to decide if he can respond without using inappropriate language
00:20 gmcharlt owen: good reason to sleep on it
00:21 Joann WE sat on it for hours and hours and hours while Galen was sleeping :)
00:21 Nate joined #koha
00:21 chris wb Nate
00:21 gmcharlt Joann: I'll just have to send you a remote control for my alarm clock :)
00:21 Nate hiya chris, everyone
00:21 chris owen: yeah im in the same boat as you gonna sleep on it
00:24 Joann Galen: that would be grand :)
00:24 Nicole - I did it butbadly I fear
00:25 reed chris_n++ as above
00:26 bgkriegel left #koha
00:26 bgkriegel joined #koha
00:28 nengard had to look up "Ipse dixit."
00:28 :)
00:29 chris_n++
00:29 that was awesome
00:29 Joann, I'll go check it
00:29 Joann - I don't see it - did you delete it?
00:30 sorry I didn't answer you before - you need a title and a body
00:30 Joann yep - had to - it was awful
00:30 off for food
00:31 nengard here's an example from me: http://koha-community.org/apri[…]eral-irc-meeting/
00:31 I can do the post for you - but I want to empower you to be able to do it yourself :)
00:32 chris_n tnx, I hoped to say things well
00:32 nengard you did very well and kept emotion out of it and stuck to facts
00:33 mason well done everyone :)
00:33 nengard What is most frustrating to me - as an educator - is that no matter how hard we all try we can't seem to make them understand what open source is and how it works - it's so easy to understand if you just open your mind up a little bit and listen
00:34 I like to think I can teach anyone - but I see now that sometimes I have to just let it go
00:34 mason yeah, i think so nicole..
00:35 Nate left #koha
00:35 chris_n nengard: what is the correct format for adding a gmail account as an openid in wordpress?
00:35 nengard chris_n .... um .... have never done it .... :(
00:36 wizzyrea is probably the one to ask
00:40 chris_n found it: https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
00:40 enter that url into the openid box
00:42 chris left #koha
00:42 chris joined #koha

01:09 lee joined #koha
01:10 lee liz
01:10 you around?
01:14 chris hiya lee
01:14 i think she isnt
01:17 slef urgh - why am I awake?
01:17 chilts caffeine?
01:17 richard it's that kind of a day
01:18 slef I think the universe just woke me to reply to that email.
01:20 lee sorry guys
01:20 I was looking for some feed back from Liz about the PTFS deal
01:21 did they cancel their LL contract?
01:21 robin left #koha
01:22 nengard lee not that we know of
01:22 lee ah
01:22 we had been talking about what the next disaster would be guess we know
01:23 Oh by the way I don't care who reads what I say
01:23 chris lee: its a disaster for ptfs and their clients
01:23 its a relief for the rest of us
01:23 lee agreed
01:23 esp. the LEKers
01:23 chris its finally over, and we can stop worrying about it
01:23 slef chris: was the conference call ever scheduled?
01:24 lee excellent
01:24 larsw newbie here... what is LEK?
01:24 slef http://koha-community.org/hlt-[…]ssions-with-ptfs/ reads like it wasn't.
01:24 larsw: LibLime's Enterprise Koha
01:24 larsw ah, ack
01:24 slef larsw: aka LL's E&E'd Koha
01:24 lee but i wonder if they will take Koha code and create the next freakinstien
01:24 chris its now PTFS Fully managed solution
01:25 i think is the rebrand
01:25 slef lee: I smell an Archivalware merger attempt, what about you?
01:25 lee *gagging*
01:25 yea
01:25 that makes sense
01:25 Koha is just a vehicle for their archievelware
01:26 did I just type arch evil?
01:26 chris slef: the agenda was not agreed on, it was tentatively scheduled, certainly not confirmed by everyone on the committee
01:27 as it was being negotiated the wiki edits came along too, which didnt help
01:27 chilts I find that with everything going on with LL/PTFS, my willingness to participate in the community is stronger ... hopefully I'll have a play (finally) and send in some patches :)
01:27 chris slef: i think we stated the facts fairly succintly in the report
01:27 * chilts has to stop talking about it and do
01:28 nengard chilts that is awesome
01:28 okay all - it's time for me to head to bed - won't be around tomorrow -giving a Koha lecture and then teaching Mashups to libararians - see you all next week (or maybe over the weekend some)
01:28 nengard left #koha
01:28 chris_n slef: aren't you close to gmt?
01:29 slef chris_n: +0100, yes. 0230 here.
01:29 chris_n ouch
01:29 * chris_n hands slef coffee
01:29 lee chris_n do you have a link to your response? to PTFS
01:29 slef I think that would be a baaad move
01:29 chris_n lee: om
01:30 lee nicole said it was gooooood
01:30 chris_n lee: http://old.nabble.com/LibLime-[…]s-to28406334.html
01:31 lee my banner ad is for Auckland hotel Mercure....crazy how do they know???
01:31 chris_n :)
01:31 chris hehe
01:31 chris_n lol
01:32 robin joined #koha
01:32 lee reading....link
01:32 robin left #koha
01:34 lee It seems clear from this statement that PTFS views itself as somehow on a plane of equality with the Koha community
01:34 chilts if not higher (and very untrue)
01:34 lee ah Chris_n
01:34 nice
01:34 thank you
01:34 well stated
01:35 yeah boyos get in line
01:35 behind all our other excellent vendors who actually contribute
01:36 BTW speaking of contributing my library would like to sponser food or drink for the hackfest
01:36 let me know
01:36 chris_n tnx lee
01:36 I must go on record as noting the contribution of both jwager and jdavidb, however
01:37 lee see you in NZ chris_n?
01:37 chris_n lee: I would love to, but not this time
01:37 lee yea... but  they have to do what they have to do
01:37 chris_n yup
01:37 lee unlike Galen
01:37 chris lee that would be fantastic
01:38 lee they won't be able to play without permission
01:38 chris put me down and we can settle on the details
01:38 chris if you want to email russel with that info, and then http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/
01:38 is where you can put money straight into the coffers
01:38 gmcharlt lee: ?
01:38 lee yea Galen?
01:38 robin joined #koha
01:39 lee chris I will do that
01:39 chris thank you
01:39 lee will I get a sponsership banner?
01:39 chris yup
01:39 send your logo in the email
01:39 gmcharlt lee: saw you mention my name, didn't get the context
01:39 lee i send my graphic to russel/ yea/
01:40 chris thats the one
01:40 gmcharlt lee: nm, I see (and also need coffee)
01:40 lee galen just about jane wagner and the PTFS thingy
01:41 gmcharlt right
01:41 slef roflmao http://media.urbandictionary.c[…]e/pwned-39138.jpg
01:41 * gmcharlt states for the record that he appreciates the contributions of all PTFS employees who have submitted patches
01:41 lee chris_n was giving her a nod
01:41 yea me too
01:41 chris me too
01:41 lee just wonder if they will still play after today
01:42 :/
01:43 guess i should just ask her
01:43 chris_n lee: I think the greater question is will their employer let them play after today
01:43 lee :(
01:43 slef lee: great on sponsorship. software.coop agreed to sponsor some stuff (I still need to write that up) but not refreshments.
01:43 lee hmmm not feeling the love so much anymore
01:44 NZ pizza and beer for EVERYONE!!!
01:44 gmcharlt lee++
01:44 * chris_n hands gmcharlt some coffee he just made
01:45 reed left #koha
01:45 slef another question: will those other companies who have loudly announced partnerships with PTFS pull out of them?
01:45 brendan: are you here? ;-)
01:45 lee thanks for all you do for us lowly librarians Koha is the best thing that has ever happened to my library
01:45 chris i think bywater is the only one
01:49 lee left #koha
01:50 collum joined #koha
01:57 slef chris: I don't watch that closely. It felt like there were more.
01:58 jdavidb joined #koha
02:00 chris_n heya jdavidb
02:00 jdavidb howdy, chris_n
02:04 chris http://lwn.net/Articles/385442/rss
02:05 might be worth looking at
02:05 chris_n nice
02:06 collum just caught up on the IRC logs and my email.  Interesting day.  chris_n++
02:06 * chris_n wishes he could afford ssds
02:07 chris me too
02:07 * jdavidb has an ittle bitty ssd in his netbook, but that's it.
02:09 chris_n I'd imagine that mechanical drives will be obsolete before long
02:10 * gmcharlt looks forward to the day
02:11 braedon|home1 ... why is everyone talking about ssd today?
02:12 was just on #xkcd and they were also
02:12 * jdavidb waddles off to bed.  Busy day tomorrow, need mah beauty rest.
02:12 jdavidb left #koha
02:13 * collum is also calling it a night.
02:13 collum left #koha
02:14 joetho joined #koha
02:20 joetho My 25 lib consortium was an unwitting Liblime customer, now PTFS.
02:21 Thankfully, we have thus far resisted the siren song of LEK.
02:22 We are in year 2 of a 5 year contract.
02:22 Groan.
02:22 chilts :(
02:23 joetho Happily, though, I think we will be able to update or 3.0x installation to 3.2 when the time comes.
02:23 As per the terms of our contract.
02:23 LEK participation does not appear to be a contractual requirement on our part.
02:24 chris_n g'night
02:25 joetho thank you for your earlier listserv post, chris_n.
02:25 Well served.
02:25 thank you and goodnight!
02:26 chris night joetho
02:27 slef chris: can I suggest lurkers email you?
02:27 well done joetho
02:28 chris slef: about?
02:28 slef getting started in the Koha community
02:28 chris oh certainly
02:28 slef if they're scared of posting to the list, really
02:29 chris yep, no problem at all
02:29 slef I think PTFS's USP is that they talk off-list
02:29 or at least how they present it
02:36 brendan heya slef
02:36 slef hi brendan ;-)
02:36 brendan PTFS did a contract with me in the beginning (I was getting married) but haven't worked with them since then
02:36 Joann left #koha
02:38 brendan wow lots to read back through
02:39 too late for the show... but nice to see a lot of git repository hosting messages in my email box gmcharlt++
02:39 joetho left #koha
02:42 slef brendan: has the contract ended automatically or can you end it?  Feel like a public confetti show?
02:46 chilts cool, so that stats thing is now on http://git.koha-community.org/stats/ :)
02:47 chris yep
02:47 slef ok, bbl

08:17 chris evening jransom
08:17 jransom hi chris
08:18 chris have you noticed i turned on the sounds at circulation?
08:20 jransom no
08:20 im trying to summon the strength to go look at the WRs
08:20 and test and report bugs
08:21 i loved Don's comment on koha-community
08:22 and feeling sad that my son't cat has been gone for 2 days
08:22 chris :(
08:22 that is sad
08:22 hopefully its just on holiday
08:24 jransom it is very sad. the other cat keeps loooking for her mate
08:30 chris bbiab
08:31 jransom k
08:40 magnus_away is now known as magnus
08:50 chris back
08:57 magnus welcome back, chris ;-)
08:57 chris thanks magnus
08:57 magnus you're very welcome!
08:57 jransom hi Magnus
08:58 magnus hi jransom
08:58 jransom, chris et al: thanks for the great work you are all doing for the community!
08:59 jransom well we did try, even if it looks like we walked away at the first opportunity (which we didnt)
09:01 magnus i don't think anyone who knows the tinyest bit about you would think that
09:02 jransom Fantastic committee - always 'on', worked issues through to consensus, all letters were team efforts, and all members have such integrity
09:02 magnus but of course, it could be made to look that way, if someone wanted to
09:02 jransom yes indeed
09:03 chris im sad that it looks like at least one library that uses koha believes that, but encouraged that others dont
09:04 jransom waldo?
09:04 chris plano
09:05 magnus guess this will be a time for libraries to choose sides
09:05 jransom hey i was wondering, say someone had a contract with liblime for koha under the understanding / believe it was open source, couldn't they claim breach of contract now its PTFS and LEK?
09:05 magnus and feel sorry for those in the middle of looong contracts
09:06 jransom I feel sorry for them to. money is so hard to come by and i bet many can't afford to walk away
09:06 chris they could, but it would be very hard
09:07 jransom how does 'bait and switch' fit in here?
09:08 magnus i think it will important now for the decisionmakers in the libraries to be well aware of what FOSS really is, and that they are not just choosing between two similar products, but between two different philosophies with quite different ramifications
09:10 jransom yes
09:11 I see libraries in NZ who want to be handheld still with their LMS
09:12 so they would be reluctant / scared / nerous / apprehensive / all of the above about going 'open' open source
09:13 and libraies who have become dependendt on LL wuould feel the same - or just not be interested / able to cut loose
09:14 and, it is a big hard learning curve - believe me I know - but so satisfying
09:18 This was shown to me today: http://www.opensource.org/node/476  Its about how open source is about so much more than just the code
09:23 magnus interesting!
09:32 * mason waves....
09:33 jransom hey babe :)
09:33 * magnus waves at mason and everyone else
09:34 mason i just have to say, in all lightness... isnt this story getting pretty fascinating...
09:34 reed It's fun to see so many well written and calm responses on the mailing list to the "hey lookie, I just bought Koha, I demand you give me all your lovins" dude
09:35 mason i mean its stressful for sure. some of this  stuff is unpleasant to handle....
09:37 i was just thinking before, out of all of the 24 vendors listed here....
09:37 http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/
09:37 reed it's made for a very long day for me and I'm mostly just a spectator; it's definitely proven why FLOSS is so tasty
09:38 mason ... i could safely bet - there wouldnt be a single vendor that would agree with ptfs/ll's position
09:38 gmcharlt good morning
09:39 gmcharlt left #koha
09:39 gmcharlt joined #koha
09:39 mason and thats a pretty good indication of your community's opioion
09:39 jransom hi galen
09:39 mason oops, opinion
09:40 jransom I was thinking that it will make an interesting study later
09:40 looking back
09:40 hdl_laptop hi galen
09:40 jransom and analysing the way vendors have 'managed' open source
09:41 and looking at compnay culture / institutional culture etc
09:41 really interesting in many ways. and i agree the many calm rational comments have been thoughtful and thought provoking
09:43 mason yeah, aggressive business tactics dont seem to work so well, in this situ...
09:44 anways, i talk to much....
09:44 jransom indeed. and i have been thinking over how and why the PTFS / Koha Community 'thing' was so difficult
09:45 mason well.... ;)
09:45 jransom like we were talking different languages - it was extraordinary. I truly don't think has any idea at all how his approach was just so wrong on so many levels
09:46 mason lol, yeah pretty far gone
09:46 jransom interesting though - looking at it from the balcony.
09:48 kf jransom: I think you are right on that
09:49 mason the funniest bit for me , is that first letter to the koha-manage list re: ptfs
09:49 kf koha-manage?
09:49 jransom ?
09:49 I don't know either
09:50 mason i bet JY hasnt read *that* letter
09:50 kf mason: I think we dont know what letter you are talking about, because this was a closed list
09:51 mason kf: correct ;)
09:51 kf I really hope there are no more closed lists now
09:51 mason i'll tell you over a beer and pizza sometime...
09:52 jransom I don't believe there are, other than the 2 weeks of negotiations with PTFS which have been reported publically pretty comprehensively
09:53 kf jransom: thats ok - was not speaking about the committee, I know you need to communicate to each other
09:53 chris_n g'morning
09:53 kf but I found it weird that ptfs send the first letter about koha.org only to vendors...
09:53 jransom oh that one.
09:53 kf and the community is more than vendors
09:53 jransom yeah -very weird.
09:54 mason feels kinda good talking about it now that its semi-public...
09:55 jransom yep absolutely
09:55 reed one thing I haven't seen mentioned on the list was their wikipedia edit
09:55 mason im curious to see how other people join the dots, on the mailing-lists...
09:55 jransom i'm glad that letter found its way online
09:55 oh yeah
09:55 maybe people dont know
09:56 gmcharlt jransom: it wasn't really mentioned outside of #koha
09:56 * chris_n thinks some posts show that some are still missing the point
09:57 reed being a vendor I'm shy to toss that onto the fire but I hope someone doe
09:57 s
09:59 jransom i loved chris's tweet: never engage in a wikipedia war with a librarian: they have tons of time and know how to reference things!
09:59 mason i feel a little guilty of chatting bout it on #public irc, but it feels kinda good ;)
10:00 jransom Kelly edited wikipedia entry for koha and toom out links to koha-community.rg and made them go to koha.org - which is no longer the home of Koha of course
10:00 mason the NZ-trademark thing is a pretty 'bold' move too...
10:00 kf jransom: I think worse was linking liblime to koha.org
10:01 jransom well its nuts: LEK is not Koha
10:01 mason heh, yeah the commits were funny/clumsy
10:01 jransom the NZ trademark application was a wee punch in the stomach so we know whose boss
10:02 mason but hay, having a proper community website back again is great!
10:03 kf colleagues waiting for me to go to lunch - bbl
10:03 jransom I was thinking, usually when a company 'buys' another with an established user group then the 'user group' would just roll over and do what they are told.
10:03 cya Katrin
10:03 kf :)
10:04 magnus jransom: yeah, the NZ trademark application is hardly a friendly gesture
10:04 mason ah, those were the days... when enthusiastic members of the koha community, updated the koha.org website...
10:04 why...?
10:04 just because they wanted too!!
10:04 jransom poor JY must be thinking: "what is wrong with these people!"
10:05 magnus hehe
10:05 mason but then..  someone thought that the koha.org website contained a *magical* power
10:05 jransom whay dont they just admit its over - probably never imagined we'd wander off to another site
10:05 lol
10:05 it did - the community made it magical
10:05 but without the community ....
10:06 mason he who controls the spice, controls the universe!
10:06 jransom thats great!
10:06 mason (dune quote...)
10:07 but yeah, great to have a proper website back....
10:08 jransom yep - I love it.
10:08 I can actually find stuff!
10:10 mason yunno.. the actual koha source-code itself is pretty darn worthless, without an enthusiast community to learn it, teach it, hack on it...
10:10 no offense to the src-code obv.
10:10 gmcharlt mason: I don't think anybody has added AI to it yet, so I don't think it can take offense :)
10:11 mason heh, click..
10:11 lol, ever the programmer galen
10:15 yes, everyone wandering off to another paddock was genuis!
10:16 "let us in!, let us in! ,  its soo cold out here, outside the castle walls..."
10:17 jransom you're quite talkative tonight Mason :)
10:19 mason sometimes you've just go to laugh...
10:19 s/go/got/
10:20 jransom its nice :)
10:24 mason i don't know how some people sleep at night, really...!
10:26 jransom when do you sleep?
10:27 chilts heh
10:28 * chilts sleeps at night
10:28 chilts I thought that was ... normal?
10:28 mason ...risking something as beneficial as the koha project, for some lame short-term profit :/
10:29 cant we all just get along...?
10:29 jransom i'm trying to catch up on all the testing i shuld have done this week
10:29 mason no, because *i* have to win!
10:29 jransom and filling work requests for chris :)
10:32 * mason quite impressed with the ranting..
10:34 mason i dont think i'm capable of writing a tactful letter to the mailing-lists
10:35 jransom oh well get it off your chest then :) do remember this is a public place though - and logged
10:35 mason oh *that* much, i do know.. :)
10:36 jransom how do you do that?
10:37 chris_n and then your comments to follow that "tag"
10:37 jransom so replacing that - bit

11:46 you will get all open ones
11:47 kmkale OK
11:47 Thanks
11:48 HEAD 556 bugs found
11:52 chris sounds plausible
11:53 jransom is there a particular bug area you are looking for?
11:54 kmkale no just looking around
11:57 whats the correct git command to update dev install to head?
11:58 i have only applied the icu patch
11:58 chris what branch are you on?
11:59 kmkale umm head? master?
11:59 chris right
11:59 gmcharlt git status
11:59 kmkale havent selected a branch while following the git usage wiki doc
11:59 gmcharlt will tell you
12:00 chris if you are on master
12:00 then git fetch
12:00 git rebase origin/master
12:00 collum joined #koha
12:01 kmkale ok. so when you guys approve a patch where does it go? master? I mean is that THE latest?

12:02 gmcharlt kmkale: nothing fresher :)
12:02 joetho http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]rmal&bug_severity
12:02 705 bugs found]
12:02 kmkale then what about the 3.4 branch?
12:03 is it derived from master?
12:03 chris doesnt exist
12:03 kmkale or 3.2?
12:04 chris 3.2 is master currently, when its closer to release, it will branch to 3.2.x and master will be for work for 3.4
12:04 kmkale oh. OK.
12:05 so currently we have master and 3.0.x branches right?
12:06 chris yep
12:06 kmkale now in a dev install after I do a git fetch and git rebase origin/master do I need to run through the script based install part again?
12:07 chris nope just the web installer
12:07 kmkale gr8.

12:14 kmkale i can see 556 bugs in HEAD and 154 in rel_3_2 under advanced search so how are these two different?

12:15 nicomo joined #koha
12:16 chris head is kinda meaningless
12:16 its better to file against a version

12:26 paul_p we really took the right decision when not agreeing to a conf call (ie : it was not "cancelling it"...)
12:26 owen This morning my worry is that jdavidb and jwagner will be forbidden from participating here
12:26 paul_p owen, right (i'm afraid...)
12:26 chris still here so far
12:27 so not yet at least
12:30 jwagner Nobody is forbidding us anything.  But I don't mind saying that I've been personally hurt by a lot of comments recently and I am increasingly uncomfortable about staying online.
12:31 owen jwagner: I'm sorry if you've been hurt by any comments here. We're all pretty steamed about the statements coming from your colleagues, but we really appreciate your participation
12:32 jwagner: You and jdavidb represent the best possible way for PTFS to participate and collaborate, and I had high hopes for the future based on that

15:20 * chris_n owns nearly half of an IT support company and we do nothing of the sort there
15:21 chris_n owen: what do you think: our librarians would like to see the renewal date (if there is one) displayed on circulation.pl in the checkout tab
15:22 owen chris_n: Where would you put it?
15:22 chris_n perhaps between the "checked out on" column and the "call no" column...?
15:23 owen I think the amount of data we're cramming into that table is becoming really unmanageable
15:23 Would you want just the last renewal date?
15:23 ...because there might be more than one
15:24 chris_n I think so
15:24 tjl joined #koha
15:24 chris_n is there somewhere else that they can get that info?
15:25 owen I don't think so
15:25 chris_n circ history does not show it either
15:25 but maybe that is a more appropriate location to have it displayed
15:25 owen I would love for the circ history page to be more informative and more usable
15:26 Right now it doesn't make much sense to me
15:26 What need would be fulfilled by adding the renewal information? When do your librarians find themselves wanting to know?
15:28 tjl left #koha
15:28 chris_n there was a patron who contested a fine as having been calculated from the original date of issue
15:28 the librarians seem to think that they could better show the patron by knowing the data of renewal
15:29 owen Based on that use case I'd definitely say a change to the circ history page would be a better solution
15:29 * chris_n thinks they could just reverse engineer the thing personally :)

16:51 wizzyrea owen: you about? I have a not necessarily koha related question for youy
16:51 owen Present!
16:52 wizzyrea ok, I'm looking at www.atchisonlibrary.org in IE 7, and the menus are popping behind the headers for the posts
16:52 and I'm totally clueless as to why
16:52 >.<
16:52 don't take more than 5 minutes to look at it, if you have a minute to look at it at all
16:53 or rather, if you don't have time... no worries
16:53 owen Of course
16:53 I like the design
16:53 wizzyrea it's pretty, isn't it?

17:10 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4418 normal, P5, ---, oleonard@myacpl.org, NEW, required patron attributes not red
17:11 owen "When a patron attribute is required it should be in red like other required fields"
17:11 You can make a patron attribute required?
17:11 * owen is trying to find it

17:31 why opac detail search for authors only between 700 and 720
17:31 and it doesn't look in 110 ?
17:32 gmcharlt hmm - 110 is a corporate author, thus different index, but no reason not to hyperlink

17:51 my postings to koha@lists.katipo - too much, enough, more?
17:53 and seredipitiously given what I was writing about, lisnews just sent me "Ten Reasons Why Professional Librarian is an Oxymoron2 http://bit.ly/cDtgps
17:56 owen slef: I'm enjoying hearing your comments on the list. Keep it up.
17:57 wizzyrea slef: I always like to hear you say you feel better after reflection :)
17:58 slef wizzyrea: it read better than "after sleep" ;-)
17:59 I think I meant serendipitiously.
18:01 wizzyrea oh dear lol
18:02 slef today has not been a golden one
18:02 delays which I could do nothing about
18:03 8.25 hours worked, 7pm and still hours to work
18:04 wizzyrea owen: can you get any more awesome
18:04 I mean really.
18:04 excellent blog post, chum.
18:06 owen Thanks, I could have gone into great detail on that one but I felt like publishing something fairly quick

18:12 owen slef: I'm sure you could teach me many things about smart statistics. I don't have any training
18:13 slef I wasn't all that successful as a teacher.
18:13 That might have been the UK education sector as much as me, though.
18:14 I guess we need more libraries using Koha for a few years to be able to get enough of them interested in some really smart stats.
18:15 gmcharlt slef: Bob Molyneux at Equinox is *extremely* interested in any and all kinds of library usage statistics
18:19 bgkriegel joined #koha
18:19 slef If anyone's ever interested in funding a stray statistician to analyse them, I'd love to get an enquiry.  I think I've had two usage projects in the last 5 years.
18:21 First class honours on the first degree, but sadly I failed my doctorate in a blaze of questions at an oral exam years after I finished the research (I didn't revise well enough IMO - others have blamed university politics, but I'm not sure).
18:22 I don't remember exactly when the exam was, but I think I was working for TTLLP/software.coop, so it must have been two years or more after I finished studying.
18:22 anyway, back to my inboxes
18:23 bgkriegel will wonder if this is #koha or #failedStatsDoctors
18:36 bgkriegel yes I do :)
18:36 I never finished my PHD in Physics

18:59 owen Has someone begun the process of moving our Bugzilla database or are we waiting on a community decision?
19:02 Maybe what I'm remembering is that git.koha-community.org was moving forward
19:02 wizzyrea yes, owen, that is set up
19:02 idk about bugs though
19:03 gmcharlt I think chris is organizing hosting by Catalyst
19:03 owen I'm steamed enough right now that just seeing that @liblime.com address from Bugzilla irritates me
19:05 wizzyrea I guess the worst problem
19:05 is getting the current bugs out
19:05 schuster Laying low don't want to get shot.
19:06 wizzyrea aww, you won't get shot
19:06 brendan we won't shout you schuster
19:06 but munin he may
19:06 wizzyrea or shout at you
19:06 brendan @roulette
19:06 munin brendan: *click*
19:06 owen You're a Texan schuster, do you guys pack heat 24/7?
19:06 wizzyrea ...
19:06 brendan hehe - s/shout/shot
19:07 * slef puts some cold water on owen and turns on a fan to clear the steam
19:07 * owen hisses
19:07 schuster Some do it's our right isn't it....  I'm actually from Minnesota where they carry shotguns in the back window of the truck mounted, loaded and ready to go.
19:07 slef for some reason, pack heat always makes me think about animals on heat
19:07 not the image I wanted to go to dinner with - thanks all :-/
19:07 bbl
19:07 schuster hmmmm steak on a grill...
19:08 slef schuster: not what I meant, you know?
19:08 gmcharlt schuster: in Alaska, somes we just used autombiles to hunt moose.  why settle for a measly shotgun :)
19:09 (for those wondering: no, not really, but there was a program to donate the moose carcass to charity or a family after a car-moose collision)
19:09 * owen suspected gmcharlt was using the term "we" loosely
19:09 chris was there anything left of the car???
19:09 slef not in the ones I've seen
19:09 schuster slef - I tried to fix the image you painted...
19:10 slef bbl
19:10 gmcharlt chris: no, a moose will total even the largest of SUVs
19:10 schuster Same with Deer in Minnesota.  You hit one it was time for a new car.
19:10 chris ok time to get the boy up to take to soccer
19:10 for the record, taking my 3 year old son to play football trumped a phone call to the US
19:11 * chris heads off
19:11 schuster Always should... :)
19:14 * chris_n has to move quickly to avoid the avalanche of an overflowing inbox :)

19:28 wizzyrea boo no nengard
19:28 @later tell nengard of course I'd be happy to work on getting the translations translated to wp
19:28 munin wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
19:29 schuster owen - I need your professional opinion on web design.
19:29 I'm looking at using some images - what is the optimum size when you might have say 8-12 on a page and want the page to load fairly fast.
19:30 * wizzyrea wasn't asked, but I'd try to keep each one under 100k
19:30 wizzyrea K
19:30 schuster I was hopeful you would respond anyway...
19:30 wizzyrea :D
19:31 schuster I'm working on the picture driven interface of predefines searches geared toward k-2 students.
19:31 so what would be the opitumum square do you think?
19:31 owen I would probably go lower, maybe 50 or 60KB.
19:32 ...but that's just off the top of my head, no research to back it up
19:33 schuster: optimum square?
19:33 schuster I'm finding some great pictures in public domain or CC - so I should be able to share what I end up with if people want it.  This picture I have is 1800 x 2700...  so yes size wise..
19:34 I'm going to use fireworks after I have all of my images to resize them to a standard size, HxW as well...
19:40 another question - I want to find all of the bibs that have no items attached...  suggestions for an sql?
19:41 owen schuster: Did you look here already? http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=sql_library
19:42 I see it, "All bibs without items"
19:42 SELECT biblio.biblionumber, biblio.title
19:42 FROM biblio
19:42 LEFT JOIN items on biblio.biblionumber = items.biblionumber
19:42 WHERE items.itemnumber is NULL
19:43 wizzyrea ^^ love the report library
19:43 should mention that jwagner has put up TONS of those reports. I"m so grateful for her contribution there.
19:45 schuster Well yes there it is.. I looked, but didn't go down the the catalog section as the "contents list" didn't indicate the other reports my bad...
19:45 I did go there first, just didn't go deep enough. sorry to bother everyone.
19:45 wizzyrea no no it's fine :)
19:46 * wizzyrea thinks of yet something else to link directly from the koha-community website
19:46 schuster wizzyrea I was thinking that too, but didn't want to put too much up there...
19:47 wizzyrea ? why not?
19:47 schuster Even it if was in the support section with the listserves.
19:47 Don't want to overwhelm people with stuff.
19:47 wizzyrea oh pish posh. Organization is the key to overcoming overwhelmedness :D
19:48 Would you like to buy an O? Circular and sweet, a nearly perfect circle, nearly good enough to eat. You can sing a little song with it like so: Ohh, Ohh, Ohh...
19:48 * wizzyrea may have spent a little too much time with sesame street.

19:51 Hee!

19:53 chris_n the google chart stuff is very cool
19:54 owen They can turn out pretty but they're a pain in the butt to put together
19:57 chris_n what data format do you use for your charts?
19:58 wizzyrea: is there a section of the koha-community.org site appropriate to linking to very helpful things like owen's blog?
19:59 cait wizzyrea: I will dream about Os
19:59 chris_n maybe on the support page
19:59 rhcl cait, are you on the right channel?
20:00 cait rhcl: its not my fault, its wizzyrea's - she let me watch this sesame street video
20:01 wizzyrea I did. It's true.
20:01 rhcl Ohhhhhhh. I see now. The alphabet "O". Yea, I didn't watch the vid.
20:02 cait rhcl: what did you think about me?

20:05 rhcl Marconi?
20:06 cait you can cut them in rings
20:06 oh marconi ... goes to look that up
20:07 rhcl My connection to the subject was radio and digital communications.
20:07 Marconi = early development of radio
20:07 cait are marconi o-shaped?
20:08 rhcl and concurrent with the development of Morse code, which is a digital mode, although commonly analog encoded.
20:08 and digital = "1's" and "0's", although Morse is, of course, a trinary system (long on, short on, off).
20:09 bgkriegel left #koha
20:09 cait oh
20:09 rhcl So that's how my mind made the association of Marconi and "0"
20:10 I suppose many other people probably don't think like that.
20:10 cait oh not sure
20:12 I like the way your mind works :)

21:31 librarywebchic I have a Koha question I'm hoping someone here can answer. Does anyone know if the Edition tab code - http://blogs.liblime.com/devel[…]-xisbn-thingisbn/ is part of the main Koha code or an add-on
21:32 wizzyrea afaik that is in koha now
21:32 yes, in fact I'm sure it is
21:32 this is from my current as of today 3.2 alpha box: http://screencast.com/t/MDEwYTA3
21:33 FRBR is definitely IN, and not an addon.
21:33 (note: in 2007, when this post was written, LibLime was contributing all code they wrote to the community. It was lovely.)
21:34 librarywebchic thank you. I was trying to find out because it is my understanding that some of the Koha things Liblime didn't contribute but I wasn't sure about this one
21:34 so I appreciate the info. didn't want to point people to something they couldn't get
21:35 wizzyrea nope, it's in. you're definitely right that there are a lot of things they wrote that aren't currently in. Fortunately, in many cases others have picked up those features and, while behind LL's progress, are making it in.
21:35 sure thing :)
21:35 where ya from
21:35 ?
21:35 librarywebchic i work at OCLC. my name is Karen Coombs and I'm the Product Manager for the Developer Network
21:35 wizzyrea Ah!
21:35 hi there :)
21:36 < Liz Rea, Northeast Kansas Library System
21:36 librarywebchic I was intrigued that Koha was using the xISBN service for that tab and wanted to make sure Koha folks knew we'd increased the non-commercial free limit to 1000 queries per day
21:36 wizzyrea omg, no, I didn't know that
21:36 maybe others did
21:36 librarywebchic the change just happened this week
21:36 wizzyrea but I didn't, but THANKS for the info, I'll go put a post on the site about it!
21:36 librarywebchic no thank you
21:37 wizzyrea that's great!
21:37 gmcharlt hi Karen
21:37 thanks for the news
21:37 wizzyrea absolutely :)
21:37 stop by anytime. Friday afternoons are quiet here
21:37 but usually lots of folks around
21:37 librarywebchic also if any Koha users are OCLC cataloging members getting and even higher daily usage is free for them. There is a form to fill out but that is it no $$
21:37 if you are a cataloging member
21:38 wizzyrea are there any official press materials to announce these changes?
21:38 (would link to them)
21:39 librarywebchic we post changes to these services to the developer network listserv and the Developer Network blog - http://worldcat.org/devnet/blo[…]l_usage_limi.html
21:40 wizzyrea cool beans, will add that one to my reader so I can stay on top of it. :)
21:41 ok to say that I talked to you?
21:41 or no?
21:41 or just that I saw it on the blog ;)
21:41 librarywebchic either is fine
21:41 wizzyrea okies
21:42 librarywebchic I'm trying to find the official press release too but for some reason I don't think it went out
21:42 wizzyrea erg, I hate it when that happens. And I do crap like that all the time "what, you mean I didn't send it out? *sigh*"
21:42 librarywebchic LOL
21:43 brendan librarywebchic++
21:43 librarywebchic also, I'd be happy to talk to Koha developers about other web services OCLC has that are free for noncommercial use that might be of interest to Koha folks, particularly from an online catalog perspective
21:44 wizzyrea we have a couple of meetings here next week, I imagine that if you wanted to be on the agenda that would be welcome and encouraged
21:44 * wizzyrea tries to find the agenda... hopes it's been put up
21:45 librarywebchic there are some nice things people are doing with WorldCat Identities. One example is http://search.trln.org/search?[…]+twain&Ntk=Author
21:45 what day? I can try to come if my schedule isn't full of meetings?

21:49 wizzyrea :D it's what we like too.
21:49 brendan it's on sekjal wish list to program
21:49 wizzyrea brendan: it's a long list
21:50 brendan yeah all of our programming wish lists seems to be big
21:50 librarywebchic will take that as a note. Know some folks at the IDS project - http://idsproject.org who are interested in the same thing and have done some interesting things connecting to Connexion.

21:53 chris cool
