only to get a quick POC ? |

i didnt use FCGI |
| 10:12 |

i used FCGI::Async |
| 10:13 |
|
because i wanted to see how it performed |
| 10:14 |
hdl_laptop |
But you encapsulated CGI in FCGI, which is just relaying the problem. |
| 10:14 |
chris |
the problem is apache |

problem is also CGI |

and I wonder about rendering variations across browser platforms in that case |

| 12:54 |
owen |
chris_n: I don't think I understand the question |
| 12:54 |
chris_n |
owen: if we went to formating labels for printing using css would there be issues with cross browser compatibility with the css? |
| 12:55 |
|
ie labels print ok from one browser, but are messed up from another |
| 12:55 |
owen |
Rather than through PDF generation? |
| 12:55 |
* chris_n |
thinks the quick spine label code uses css |
| 12:55 |
chris_n |
owen: right |
| 12:55 |
|
to address the font/unicode/etc issues |
| 12:56 |
owen |
There will *always* be cross-browser formatting issue, but I don't know to what extent we might expect it |
| 12:56 |
|
I've never done CSS-for-print testing |
| 12:56 |
kmkale |
chris_n it would atleast allow us to print in our languages. |
| 12:56 |
chris_n |
kmkale: yup |
| 12:57 |
kmkale |
I had done a college icard print job once with this friend i mentioned and it worked out well but of course we never did cross browser testing |
| 12:58 |
|
i would be happy if i get something usable with firefox |
| 12:58 |
chris_n |
kmkale: you might take a look at the quick spine label code |
| 12:58 |
|
I'm almost sure it uses css formatting to produce an html page which is then printed |
| 12:58 |
owen |
CSS allows you to specify measurements in points, so technically the spec is designed to handle print as well as screen |
| 13:00 |
chris_n |
in theory the screen and print should be the same (72ppi), but in reality screens now run more ppi than that |
| 13:01 |
|
kmkale: I'd be glad to help with that sort of thing if you conclude it is reasonably doable |
| 13:01 |
kmkale |
but its controlable as its from the staff interface. let me try.. now that I can read perl ;) and know there are ppl like you who tolerate my bugging |
| 13:01 |
chris_n |
I wrote the new labels/card modules so that it should be easy to add other export formats |
| 13:02 |
|
ie. the final print screen can have csv, xml, pdf, css, foo, foobar, <your_choice_here>, etc. |
| 13:03 |
|
we just have to write a module for css, foo, foobar, etc |
| 13:03 |
kmkale |
chris_n: gotta run now but will look at it and ask your help tomorrow. |

| 14:44 |
munin |
04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4416 normal, P5, ---, oleonard myacpl.org, NEW, renew all and return all buttons too close together |
| 14:44 |
owen |
Remove both "return all" AND "renew all" or just "return all?" |
| 14:46 |
jwagner |
I think there's some value to having renew all, but no value to return all (so long as that bug exists that doesn't trigger holds etc.) |
| 14:47 |
owen |
jwagner: Does that bug have a good-n-high severity? |
| 14:48 |
jwagner |
Bug 3514 I think -- I did a workaround to turn off the returns column |
| 14:48 |
munin |
04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3514 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharltgmail.com, NEW, Returning items through patron Details tab doesn't activate all circulation functions |
| 14:49 |
jwagner |
I sent the patch in August, but it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere. |
| 14:50 |
|
I've since updated that locally to turn off the returns column on both details and checkout tab (originally only did on details tab) |
| 14:56 |
owen |
Even if that patch is accepted it won't be a real fix for that bug. We need the function to actually work! |
| 14:57 |
|
...I can see how handling multiple on-hold returns would be difficult. Maybe any multiple-return function should skip those cases and ask the user to handle them individually |
| 14:57 |
jwagner |
owen, I know -- mine was a quick & dirty workaround, not a fix. |

sekjal left #koha |

yea, 3514 is on NEKLS' list as well |
| 15:13 |
|
what about adding a winnebago like function to returns |
| 15:14 |
|
where you can scan a list of items |
| 15:14 |
|
like, batch checkin |
| 15:14 |
|
and check them all in |
| 15:14 |
|
then print a list of exceptions |
| 15:14 |
owen |
What's the advantage? |
| 15:14 |
wizzyrea |
well the real problem, as we see it, of return all |
| 15:15 |
|
is that staff don't verify that the stack of books is the same as the stack in front of you (unless you're being very fastidious) |
| 15:15 |
|
normally, when you do this, you have an impatient patron waiting in front of you |
| 15:15 |
|
so being fastidious isn't good customer service |
| 15:15 |
|
because it makes them wait |
| 15:15 |
|
with the batch checkin |
| 15:16 |
|
you can scan scan scan |
| 15:16 |
|
check in items, then print out the exceptions for the staff member to go back to |
| 15:16 |
|
instead of making them process them with a line of impatient patrons waiting |
| 15:16 |
|
s/them/items |
| 15:17 |
|
it's just an idea |
| 15:18 |
jwagner |
And to add an extra wrinkle, one of my sites uses their self-check machine for checkins -- pile everything on the reader (RFID) and let it go. That doesn't handle holds too well either.... |
| 15:18 |
wizzyrea |
we have the same problem with our chutes |
| 15:18 |
|
though the sip stuff you should have now that we paid for should handle holds better |
| 15:19 |
|
it's not perfect (local holds + sip = yikes) but it's better than it was before we put some $$ in |
| 15:19 |
owen |
wizzyrea: I can maybe see the use case you describe. But I really don't see a reason for a "return all" function otherwise. |
| 15:19 |
wizzyrea |
I'm just as happy to get rid of it on that screen |
| 15:19 |
|
it makes more sense to renew all if you can |
| 15:19 |
|
since likely you won't have those items in front of you |
| 15:20 |
|
BUT an expedited batch checkin was a feature that was really good about winnebago |
| 15:20 |
owen |
wizzyrea: Tell me more about the transaction |
| 15:20 |
|
You scan them all in while the patron is standing there |
| 15:20 |
|
And then wait for the report of any problems while they wait? Or no? |
| 15:21 |
wizzyrea |
I was thinking that a "print exceptions" that outputs the exceptions to paper for later processing |
| 15:21 |
|
so the stack stays at the library, you don't check in any books that aren't existent on the desk |
| 15:22 |
|
(or that you haven't verified are existent in your stack) |
| 15:22 |
|
I would actually be curious to ask my librarians about this |
| 15:22 |
owen |
Why is there an issue with the patron having to wait? What are they waiting for? |
| 15:22 |
wizzyrea |
because I know a lot of them liked the winnebago function |
| 15:22 |
|
sometimes they want to watch you check in their items |
| 15:23 |
|
people are weird |
| 15:23 |
owen |
Maybe it just feels faster to scan,scan,scan and process? |
| 15:23 |
|
DRUlm joined #koha |
| 15:23 |
wizzyrea |
I think that's true, to some extent. |
| 15:23 |
|
I used winnebago, and I have to admit, sending one request to checkin a bunch of items was more satisfying than checkin -> wait |
| 15:23 |
owen |
We have patrons who insist we check things in on the spot because we've missed checking in their items in the past |
| 15:24 |
wizzyrea |
^^ |
| 15:24 |
|
so if you were being fastidious with that stack of books, you would have to look at each one, verify that it was on their list, prior to hitting "return all" |
| 15:24 |
|
as it stands currently |
| 15:24 |
|
which takes time |
| 15:25 |
* jwagner |
has dumb moment |
| 15:25 |
jwagner |
Why not just use the existing Koha Circ, Checkin screen then? |
| 15:25 |
wizzyrea |
dunno, I'm actually in favor of getting rid of the return all completely |
| 15:25 |
owen |
I don't see how that fastidious process is any more efficient than checking them in one by one |
| 15:25 |
* wizzyrea |
could imagine a scenario where a librarian has *gasp* two tabs open |
| 15:25 |
owen |
...and the latter is more accurate. |
| 15:26 |
wizzyrea |
one with checkin and one with checkout |
| 15:26 |
* wizzyrea |
wonders why more people don't do that anyway |
| 15:27 |
gmcharlt |
owen: any chance I could sweettalk you into a doing a followup for 4208 - there are still a bunch of tmpl_ifs embedded in tags in various OPAC templates |
| 15:28 |
jwagner |
If the issue is wanting to see the patron screen, have a separate tab/window open on the checkin screen, check everything in, then refresh the patron screen. Wouldn't that do the same thing of assuring the patron everything's clear? |
| 15:28 |
gmcharlt |
mostly in syndetics contents links |

what if you put in a library something like http://www.thinkgeek.com/compu[…]c609/?cpg=froogle |
| 15:31 |
|
and put the patron screen on that |
| 15:31 |

maybe an alternative patron screen that autorefreshed |

There is the item checkin message that can be emailed if the patron is configured. Maybe adapt that to a circ slip for checkins? |

DRUlm: It's very odd... I can't import more than 6000 records at a time, and now it won't let me import another batch (problematic since I only go through 25/30). |
| 15:44 |

Oh well. I guess I will try again. Maybe a restart. |
| 15:45 |
|
DRUlm: Question: Are you using a Windows client? |
| 15:45 |

jcamins: Hmmmmm. Could it be a timeout for 6000 records? I have only loaded about 1000 this way - Yes, using Firefox 3.x in Windows |
| 15:46 |
jcamins |
I hope I don't have to go down to batches of 1000. But I guess if that's the way it is, that's th eway it is. I'll give it a try. Just getting our data in would be a relief, at this point. |

jcamins - maybe your files are tooo large... use MARCEDIT to break them into smaller chuncks - or it could be that you have a record that it doesn't like because there are too many items attached to it pushing it beyond the 9999 limit. |

same as any server, imo: if you don't secure it, it isn't secure. |

However, we're using VirtualBox to host our catalog, and I'm convinced that's at the root of many of our problems. |
| 16:14 |

AH |
| 16:14 |

could be |
| 16:15 |

agreed, that's a broad question, and really impossible to answer w/o looking at the specificies of any particular cloud hosting provider |

I use VMware for my test machine, and there is some strangeness with the MySQL response time. Zebra seems better, but it is probably an issue with how the MySQL server software is optimized, and something does not translate for speed when running virtual |
| 16:16 |
gmcharlt |
schuster: no, doesn't look like it was submitted |
| 16:16 |
schuster |
AH! |
| 16:17 |
|
hmmm guess I need to go back to PTFS on that. yikes glad I asked. |
| 16:17 |
DRUlm |
Right, but with the cloud there can be a whole network interface where everything is sitting and you can have all the VMs essentially on the same LAN with open access between them. Also once root is obtained on the VMware host, then all the machines are owned |
| 16:18 |
gmcharlt |
DRUlm: that is entirely dependent on how the provider manges their setup |
| 16:18 |
wizzyrea |
^^ |
| 16:18 |
|
so, the question is: do you trust your cloud provider to secure their boxen? |
| 16:19 |
|
(a question only they could answer) |
| 16:19 |
DRUlm |
Right, but with my understanding, security between the VMs is not cut and dry, there are certainly some new techniques that need to be used and not everybody is using them, and the rest can be a bit experimental - but given where you are coming from, OK, I will conceed that it is based on the provider |

How do we want to encourage those members of our community to get involved (assuming that users/librarians have separate methods of getting involved based on their skillsets) |
| 18:42 |
chris |
gmcharlt: can you try a fetch from git.workbuffer.org now please? |
| 18:42 |
wizzyrea |
(meaning, of course you can have user/developers and librarian/developers, and librarian/users, but they don't all participate in the same way) |
| 18:42 |

I suck at getting people involved but... would it help to have clear lists of tasks that need doing? |

jcamins |
As a librarian (and speaking for my boss, another librarian), I think it would be really helpful to have advice on how to submit RFPs. |
| 18:45 |
liw |
is there a page somewhere explaining how the community has organized itself? how development is structured, how decisions are made, where discussions happen, etc? |
| 18:45 |
wizzyrea |
I suppose I should just combine users/librarians, since they are normally the same |

wizzyrea, cool, thanks (I am such a newbie...) |

(i.e., we want to throw money at some problems, rather than try to deal with those problems ourselves, and it would be helpful if it were more clear what the procedure was for open RFPs) |

(thats more a 3.4 thing tho, so ignore me) |
| 19:08 |
gmcharlt |
goal at this point is to keep 3.2 in alpha2 no longer than necessary to get the blockers closed |
| 19:08 |

how many current blockers are there ? |

what's the correct bugzilla-link for seeing the current bugs? i never feel confident i've got the right one... |

3.0 bug fix haas been stalled for a while. |

yep, i wouldnt count that as a blocker |

ok |

what? |

umm, I suggest that this is not the appropriate time to discuss specific bugs - if you think something ought to be a blocker, say so in the bugzilla |
| 19:19 |
|
we can also hold another bug squashing session if people want |

let's schedule it |
| 19:19 |
gmcharlt |
getting back to agenda, hdl_laptop, do you have a timefrmae for release of 3.0.6? |
| 19:19 |
hdl_laptop |
I think in the next 2 weeks |
| 19:20 |
gmcharlt |
cool, thanks |
| 19:20 |
|
next item - followup from action items from 4/7 meeting |
| 19:20 |
hdl_laptop |
Then I will try to add some bug fixes done for 3.2 back into 3.0 |
| 19:20 |
gmcharlt |
hdl_laptop: umm, are there any big issues that would necessitate a 3.0.7? |
| 19:21 |
hdl_laptop |
I donot think so. |
| 19:21 |
|
not on 3.0 |
| 19:22 |
gmcharlt |
ok |
| 19:22 |
|
hopefully we can hold the line on that if no secrity bugs crop up in the 3.0.x line |
| 19:22 |
chris |
sounds good to me |
| 19:23 |
gmcharlt |
since I'm not hearing much clamor to discuss 4/7 meeting stuff |
| 19:23 |
|
let's move on to |
| 19:23 |
|
4. Discuss switching licensing for all new code submissions to Affero General Public License (AGPL) |
| 19:24 |
thd |
We have a dependency problem to resolve before we can discuss that properly. |
| 19:24 |
gmcharlt |
thd: namely? |
| 19:24 |
thd |
MySQL had switched its license to GPL 2 only during the GPLv3 drafting process. |
| 19:25 |
chris |
im not sure that matters |
| 19:25 |
thd |
My information is that it does matter unless we abstract the database. |
| 19:25 |
gmcharlt |
state your sources, then |
| 19:25 |
chris_n |
thd: why would it matter? |
| 19:26 |
thd |
I have not put the question formally. |
| 19:26 |
chris |
we don't interface with mysql at all, its done through DBI, and DBD |
| 19:26 |
larsw |
is this about the "shared linking versus static linking" controversy? |
| 19:26 |
thd |
chris_n GPL 2 only as opposed to GPL 2 or later is incompatible with AGPL 3. |
| 19:26 |
chris_n |
thd: I meant why would running over mysql have anything to do with koha's license? |
| 19:27 |
chris |
yes |
| 19:27 |
chris_n |
the two are independent at a code level |
| 19:27 |
thd |
larsw: this is about what constitutes a derived work. The type of linking should not matter. |
| 19:27 |
chris |
i dont think anyone in their right mind could say koha is a derived work of mysql |
| 19:27 |
robin-home |
I think it would only matter if you used libmysql or whatever it is. |
| 19:27 |
chris_n |
koha is not a derived work of mysql |
| 19:27 |
chris |
or vice versa |
| 19:27 |
larsw |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G[…]and_derived_works |
| 19:28 |
thd |
chris_n: we have MySQL specific calls in the database and if you take MySQL away Koha does not function. |
| 19:28 |
chris |
i dispute that |
| 19:28 |
thd |
larsw I would not trust the wikipedia answer to a legal question |
| 19:28 |
larsw |
doesn't Koha have a postgresql binding, too? |
| 19:28 |
thd |
Please do not mistake me, I am all for AGPL 3. |
| 19:29 |
larsw |
thd, I meant the link as background information, for those who haven't heard of this issue before, not legal advice |
| 19:29 |
chris |
there are no mysql specific calls |
| 19:29 |
chris_n |
thd: I think we are straining to swallow a gnat here |
| 19:29 |
thd |
However, I think that we should pursue it in consultation with lawyers who understand the issue well. |
| 19:29 |
* chris_n |
thinks we rip out the mysql specific calls (if any exist) |
| 19:30 |
reed |
+1 |
| 19:30 |
thd |
We cannot have a proper discussion of the issue without slef who has some principled objections to which I have answers. |
| 19:30 |
chris_n |
most of the sql is ansi anywhat iirc |
| 19:30 |
|
anyway, even |
| 19:30 |
larsw |
personal opinion: if there is a tight linkage with MySQL in Koha, that's a bug and should be fixed; it is not a stumbling block for switching AGPLv3 |
| 19:30 |
chris |
using an api is not making something a dervied work |
| 19:30 |
|
in any uninverse |
| 19:30 |
thd |
chris_n: If we change most to all then we are safe. |
| 19:31 |
|
chris_n: The problem is that the MySQL issue is well known. |
| 19:31 |
chris_n |
thd: can you point out an example of a mysql specific call |
| 19:31 |
owen |
I would like to include slef in this discussion as well |
| 19:31 |
chris_n |
in koha that is |
| 19:31 |
gmcharlt |
is slef present at this meeting? |
| 19:31 |
thd |
chris_n: any reference to INNODB is MySQL specific. |
| 19:31 |
chris |
i think the first step would be to use the or later clause we have, to switch to gplv3 |
| 19:32 |
thd |
know and we need to here him out about this issue |
| 19:32 |
|
s/know/no/ |
| 19:32 |
chris_n |
so we probably need to take this discussion to the list |
| 19:32 |
larsw |
it's not all that late in the UK; can someone call slef up and invite him to the meeting? |
| 19:33 |
thd |
Precisely, because his objections are well known we should ensure that we have his participation. |
| 19:33 |
|
tomascohen left #koha |
| 19:33 |
larsw |
discussing this on the list(s) is probably a good idea anyway, but shouldn't prevent us from starting a discussion now |
| 19:34 |
chris |
larsw++ |
| 19:34 |
thd |
Answering his objections in his absence would be unfair to the attention to which slef has given to the matter. |
| 19:34 |
chris_n |
right, discussion today does not imply conclusion today |
| 19:34 |
chris |
i would like to reframe the discussion |
| 19:34 |
chris_n |
thd: answering an objection is not the only part of discussion, however |
| 19:34 |
chris |
to first should we move to gplv3 |
| 19:35 |
thd |
The problem for MySQL is the same. |
| 19:35 |
larsw |
as the newbie I ask: what is the current policy on copyright licensing in Koha? |
| 19:35 |
chris |
then we already have the problem thd |
| 19:35 |
|
as its gplv2 or later already |
| 19:35 |
larsw |
chris, I don't think that is correct: gplv2+ can link to gplv2-only without problems |
| 19:35 |
thd |
larsw: Currently, as chris said which was decided by Katipo at the outset. |
| 19:36 |
chris |
what? |
| 19:36 |
thd |
larsw: If you undermine the linking argument about derived works then you undermine the effect of the license. |
| 19:36 |
Colin |
MySQL allows gplv3 under the foss exception clause of the sun license |
| 19:37 |
chris |
thank you Colin |
| 19:37 |
thd |
Colin: what is your source for that? |
| 19:37 |
|
Colin: do you have a link? |
| 19:37 |
Colin |
http://www.mysql.com/about/leg[…]g/foss-exception/ |
| 19:38 |
thd |
Colin: that exception is for client libraries only |
| 19:38 |
|
Colin: I think that does not apply |
| 19:38 |
|
I had forgotten about that exception at the moment. |
| 19:39 |
|
The question should be put to the SFLC which understands the licenses well and would be in the best position to defend the license should we ever need that defence. |
| 19:40 |
larsw |
is the mysql issue relevant to a discussion whether we want to move from "GPLv2 or later" to "GPLv3 or later" or "AGPLv3 or later"? if we want to move, it's one of the things that may need to be fixed, but that's an implementation detail only, in my humble opinion |
| 19:40 |
chris |
larsw++ |
| 19:40 |
|
deciding intent is more important |
| 19:40 |
thd |
larsw: Want to is different from how to, yes. |
| 19:40 |
* chris_n |
nominates thd to check in with SFLC and report back |
| 19:40 |
thd |
larsw++ |
| 19:41 |
|
I have withheld public comment on this issue when it has come up to avoid an unnecessary argument with slef. |
| 19:41 |
chris |
does thd have time to do that? |
| 19:41 |

indeed |
| 19:46 |
|
So we have these rules |
| 19:47 |
|
can someone enlighten me as to 1. who made them 2. do we still want them |
| 19:47 |
|
3. if not, what do we want? |
| 19:47 |
|
(or do we want any rules re: listing as support vendor on official site at all) |
| 19:47 |
brendan |
I think we make new ones for the new subdomains and new website |
| 19:48 |
wizzyrea |
I ask because I would like to know what I need to do to add companies to the list :) |

gmcharlt |
given the controversy that these rules have provoked, I suggest a very simple set of criteria |
| 19:49 |
chris |
and barring people objecting they get listed |
| 19:49 |
brendan |
+1 |
| 19:49 |
gmcharlt |
1. support company proposes via list (or perhaps form on the webiste) |
| 19:49 |
brendan |
objects should be public too |
| 19:49 |
|
s/objects/objections |
| 19:49 |
gmcharlt |
2. they get accepted if it is a legitamate proffer of Koha services |
| 19:49 |
chris |
likng it so far |
| 19:49 |
chris_n |

| 19:49 |
wizzyrea |
do you want to require at least one demonstrable instance of a running koha install? |
| 19:49 |
larsw |
chris, does everyone have a veto? if not, and there is controversy about someone, who gets final word in the decision? |
| 19:50 |
nengard |
the majority |
| 19:50 |
|
makes the most sense |
| 19:50 |
gmcharlt |
3. entries can be removed or disallowed if they are spam, i.e., irrelevant to Koha services |
| 19:50 |
reed |
? require them to submit at least one patch |
| 19:50 |
chris_n |
interesting |
| 19:50 |
nengard |
reed i would like to see some sort of participation from them |
| 19:50 |
wizzyrea |
reed: I personally don't want to go there |
| 19:50 |
gmcharlt |
4. we keep issues of trademarks, copyrights, out of this |
| 19:50 |
wizzyrea |
but that's just me |
| 19:50 |
chris_n |
but what about some who may only support not develop |
| 19:51 |
chris |
i dont think thats a prerwq |
| 19:51 |
thd |
gmcharlt: do you have a 4 not that there should be one? |
| 19:51 |
chris |
yeah |
| 19:51 |
thd |
oops |
| 19:51 |
nengard |
not necessarily a patch, but some display of community and participation |
| 19:51 |
robin-home |
No, that makes it hard for eg training companies |
| 19:51 |

i.e., boil the list down to one question: does the vendor offer Koha services of any kind |

gmcharlt, I propose that vendors no longer actively offering Koha services be dropped occasionally |
| 19:52 |
|
but other than that, +1 |
| 19:52 |
wizzyrea |
larsw: that seems fair |
| 19:52 |
chris_n |
maybe a yearly polll |
| 19:52 |
gmcharlt |
larsw: yes, I think that is reasonable, and could be view as a logical consequence of point #2 (legit proffer of Koha services) |
| 19:52 |
wizzyrea |
so we are not going to require following the community guidelines? |
| 19:52 |
thd |
nengard: the trouble comes from how you measure participation which has been used in an unnecessarily exclusionary way in one unfortunate case. |
| 19:52 |
|
+1 |
| 19:52 |
wizzyrea |
(just to be clear) |
| 19:52 |

maybe just clean the list right now and all resubmit ? |
| 19:52 |
hdl_laptop |
how could you know that the company is not offering koha services ? |
| 19:52 |
chris |
what community guidelines? |
| 19:52 |

| 19:52 |
thd |
hdl_laptop++ |
| 19:53 |
gmcharlt |
hdl_laptop: well, somebody taking it upon themselves to check their website and/or ask |
| 19:53 |
reed |
so, its 'must offer koha services' but the 'you are cool' test is dropped |
| 19:53 |
chris_n |
lol |
| 19:53 |
chris |
oh yeah, naw, trash those and just go for 1 rule, must offer koha services |
| 19:53 |
Colin |
Check at the contact they give... that should deal with ones that cease to exist |
| 19:53 |
wizzyrea |
cool. I thought this would be more contentious. :) |
| 19:53 |
gmcharlt |
and I guess a point 5 - removal of vendors from list (excpet in the case of obvious spam) must be announced on the mailing list |
| 19:53 |
|
with a CC to the vendor's listed contact |
| 19:53 |
chris |
and put in nice big letters, no endorsement of any kind is implied by being listed |
| 19:54 |
owen |
So are we still saying email the list to initiate a listing? |
| 19:54 |
chris_n |
owen: I think yes |
| 19:54 |
magnus |

| 19:54 |

It could be done several ways |
| 19:54 |
thd |
hdl_laptop: does gmcharlt advertisement of services test satisfy you as something spammers would not bother to do? |
| 19:54 |
gmcharlt |
owen: possibly yes, although actually I think a form on the website might be better |
| 19:54 |
|
miguel_xercode joined #koha |
| 19:54 |
chris_n |
introducing one's self to the community would be appropriate to being listed |
| 19:54 |
wizzyrea |
we could have a form that mails the list, for that matter |
| 19:55 |
|
though, that might be conducive to spam >.> |
| 19:55 |
owen |
Yeah |
| 19:55 |
hdl_laptop |
thd: spammers would ask to be listed as a koha support company ? |
| 19:55 |
tajoli |
Better a email to the list that a web form, IMHO |
| 19:55 |

| 19:55 |
wizzyrea |
okies, I'll work something up and send it out to the list |
| 19:55 |
chris |
main one |
| 19:55 |

I'm suggesting a form for a specific purpose, though - to not have the listigns be complete unconstrained in their form |
| 19:55 |

The main list |
| 19:55 |
wizzyrea |
right |
| 19:55 |

so |
| 19:56 |
vickiteal |
Sorry Chris, your main may not be my main list. ;) |
| 19:56 |
thd |
hdl_laptop: human spammers are that smart. gmcharlt's proposed rules are for human spammers |
| 19:56 |
chris |
koha list is the main list |
| 19:56 |
wizzyrea |

| 19:56 |

well |
| 19:56 |

how about this |
| 19:56 |
vickiteal |
Thanks. |
| 19:56 |
wizzyrea |
a vendor introduces offering services |
| 19:56 |
chilts |
gmcharlt: that's ok, because a human will add it to the list (and make it nice and fit in with the rest of the page) |
| 19:56 |
wizzyrea |
we can mail them back a link to the form |
| 19:56 |
|
so we get uniform data |
| 19:56 |
schuster |
When they introduce themselves to the list should they do more than say Hi I'm David and I support Koha ad Schuters in? |

While enforcing a rule against seeming more official than the community project now seems moot, it is certainly a good principle. |
| 19:59 |
gmcharlt |
-1 # I disagree - I would prefer that it stick with "does vendor offer Koha services" |
| 19:59 |
chris_n |
why? |
| 19:59 |
hdl_laptop |
because of context. |
| 19:59 |
schuster |
hmmm gmcharlt ... I see a point... |
| 19:59 |
brendan |
a link back would help SEO - wouldn't it ? |
| 19:59 |
thd |
gmcharlt: I am not proposing a rule |
| 20:00 |
chris_n |
hdl_laptop: context? |
| 20:00 |
larsw |
the "must link to k-c" sounds like a reaction to ptfs to me (I'm neither for nor against) |
| 20:00 |
wizzyrea |
it would, and would have the benefit of forcing them to admit we are official |
| 20:00 |
gmcharlt |
all things being equal, I would prefer link back to koha-community.org and following community guidelines |
| 20:00 |
* chilts |
gets up to go to work ... ttfn |
| 20:00 |
chris |
certainly i still expect ppl to hold support companies to task when they behave badly |
| 20:00 |
gmcharlt |
but the well has been poisoned |
| 20:00 |
chris |
but i dont think we need to make the website be the stick to hit them with |
| 20:00 |
thd |
We should be able to have recommendations of community spirited practises even where they are being ignored by organisations listed. |
| 20:00 |
wizzyrea |
larsw: did you see the old rules? Those were a reaction to PTFS, if I've been informed correctly |
| 20:01 |
chris |
their customers leaving should be that stick |
| 20:01 |
thd |
recommendations are not the same as rules. |
| 20:01 |
wizzyrea |
no, I want the official website to be inclusive to a fault, if necessary |
| 20:01 |
* chris_n |
thinks that is sometimes a very small stick |
| 20:01 |
wizzyrea |
me, personally |
| 20:01 |

We are not telling them Where they have to put the link... but they should recognize where the software originalted from. |

wizzyrea: I am favouring maximum inclusiveness. |
| 20:02 |
wizzyrea |
thd: excellent, we are agreed :) |
| 20:02 |
thd |
wizzyrea: I merely wonder in some separate place we should list things that we encourage people to do without any stick if they do not do them. |
| 20:03 |
wizzyrea |
yes, I agree |
| 20:03 |
|
we should post the community guidelines |
| 20:03 |
thd |
wizzyrea: carrots all the way. |
| 20:03 |
chris |
how about "don't be a dick" |
| 20:03 |
gmcharlt |
I would be happy with language requesting link-back to koha-community.org, but not demanding it |
| 20:03 |
wizzyrea |
but separate from how to get listed |
| 20:03 |
chris |
i think that about covers it |

owen |
chris: How's that working out for Google? |
| 20:03 |
wizzyrea |
oh snap. |
| 20:03 |
chris_n |
so what are the procedures for determining if a company is behaving badly and de-listing them? |
| 20:04 |
chris |
oh, they have chosen the easier don;t be evil |
| 20:04 |
thd |
owen: Google? |
| 20:04 |
schuster |
I like that - you can indicate participate in Monthly chat discussions, work on patches, answer questisons on the listserves... |
| 20:04 |
larsw |
chris_n, public discussion on the koha@ list, with an invitation to the company to participate in the discussion? |
| 20:04 |
gmcharlt |
chris_n: none, if we stick with the principle that listing disclaims endorsement |
| 20:04 |
wizzyrea |
chris_n I think we decided that de-listing would only happen if the company no longer supported koha |
| 20:04 |
thd |
chris_n: The rules which have been proposed do not consider bad behaviour grounds for delisting |
| 20:05 |
owen |
Under what circumstances would a company request a listing and be rejected? |
| 20:05 |
wizzyrea |
it's obvious spam? |
| 20:05 |
|
that's the only thing I've seen |
| 20:05 |
larsw |
blatant intentional violation of the copyright license? |
| 20:05 |
wizzyrea |
(which is ok by me, fwiw) |
| 20:05 |
chris |
chris_n: this of course doesn't mean people can't point out the bad behaviour |
| 20:05 |
thd |
chris_n: endorsement actually may have legal ramifications which could create liabilities as an additional consideration |
| 20:05 |

Make sure there is the header as Chris mentioned that none of the companies listed are santioned by the koha-community |

ponders the possibility to just have a pointer from www.koha-community.org to a page on the wiki where support companies can add themselves if they want to |
| 20:07 |
thd |
chris_n: under the carrots all the way theory. Good behaviour will be rewarded in other ways and will win out in most every case. |
| 20:07 |
chris_n |
so there is nothing I could do as a support company to cause you to have the desire to no longer want to be associated with me? |
| 20:07 |
gmcharlt |
owen: the new policies are decided by community vote here; if egregious behavior occurs, matter can be revisit |
| 20:07 |

the actual form of the list is somewhat in flux |
| 20:07 |

there is high desire to have it be sortable in many ways |

I'm also holding the rule that if you are not listed, you can't submit a news feed for inclusion |

| 20:16 |
wizzyrea |
it's so subjective though, what's decent? In business it seems that even the worst behavior is tolerated simply because that's the nature of the free market |
| 20:17 |
|
do what you can to win |
| 20:17 |
chris |
thats why its nothing to do with the rules |
| 20:17 |
wizzyrea |
^^ is what I'm getting at |
| 20:17 |
chris |
wizzyrea: that boils back to ppl thinking its ok because they work for a company |
| 20:17 |
|
but yeah the rule is just do you offer koha services |
| 20:18 |
|
everything else is untestable |
| 20:18 |
vickiteal |
Um, I didn't really think it should say "decent company" or "decent anything." |
| 20:18 |
wizzyrea |
oki :) |
| 20:18 |
|
just sayin. |
| 20:18 |
chris |
if someone violates the license, we will cross that bridge when it happens |
| 20:18 |
wizzyrea |
I will fix the rule. |
| 20:19 |
vickiteal |
wizzyrea will you recap rules. I'm lost (not unusual). |
| 20:19 |
wizzyrea |
we can talk about the community guidelines another time |
| 20:19 |
chris |
im fairly sure we could reach a public consensus to remove a company if that happened |
| 20:19 |
wizzyrea |
if ($you_provide_koha_services) { send_email(to => "mailto:kohalists.koha-community.org"); } else { send_email(to => "yourself"; } |
| 20:19 |
joetho |
The Evergreen website doesn't emphasize support vendors the way we do. |
| 20:19 |
thd |
wizzyrea: actually the US Department of Justice is investigating illegal labour market collusion between Apple, Google, IBM, etc. for having the decency not to attempt to poach one another's employees. |
| 20:19 |
joetho |
I wonder if we are overthinking this. |
| 20:19 |
wizzyrea |
thd: lol. *sigh* |
| 20:19 |
chris |
joetho: i thnk we have just simplified it |
| 20:20 |
|
do you offer koha services |
| 20:20 |
|
done |
| 20:20 |
wizzyrea |
Introduce yourself, provide X info on the list |
| 20:20 |
vickiteal |
Thanks. |
| 20:20 |
wizzyrea |
info = name of company, contact information, less than 300 characters of company description |
| 20:21 |
|
give or take |
| 20:21 |
thd |
wizzyrea: The problem is an anti-competitive agreement. Mere politeness is not against anti-trust law. |

wizzyrea |
website |
| 20:21 |
chris_n |
so... alphabetical listings? |
| 20:21 |
wizzyrea |
sortable! |
| 20:21 |
|
we will get there! |
| 20:21 |
|
but alpha for now |
| 20:21 |
chris_n |
or a little js to present a random list each pageload? |
| 20:21 |
wizzyrea |
I know the order is a contentious issue |
| 20:21 |
thd |
wizzyrea: However, unusual politeness by big companies may prompt an investigation. |
| 20:21 |
joetho |
sortable by what? Alphabetical? Age of company? Age of CEO? |
| 20:21 |
* chris |
has to head to work |
| 20:21 |
wizzyrea |
all of the above |
| 20:22 |
sekjal |
it would be interesting if we could somehow work out a 'fair' karma system for support companies |
| 20:22 |
thd |
Alphabet please or multiple formats. |
| 20:22 |
sekjal |
interesting, and likely extremely difficult |
| 20:22 |
wizzyrea |
thd: that's the plan |
| 20:22 |
thd |
yes I know |
| 20:22 |
joetho |
oh my. Fair karma would put PTFS in ILS purgatory. |
| 20:22 |
larsw |
wizzyrea, default order being random so as not to favor anyone? :) |
| 20:22 |
wizzyrea |
lol that's one option for sure. The page is static at the moment |
| 20:23 |
Sharon |
It's a library ILS folks, it best be alphabetical |
| 20:23 |
gmcharlt |
specific wording to propose |
| 20:23 |
|
http://koha.pastebin.com/T1gPz2kP |
| 20:23 |
joetho |
Hmm. B comes before E which comes before both L and P |
| 20:23 |
thd |
joetho: We have some of our current problems because LibLime did put PTFS in ILS purgatory. |
| 20:23 |
joetho |
oh how I know. |
| 20:23 |
schuster |
could you do columns for the information and then use js table sorter to sort them at will? |
| 20:24 |
larsw |
gmcharlt++ (but add mailing list address?) |
| 20:24 |
chris_n |
+1 #gmcharlt's proposal |
| 20:24 |
wizzyrea |
oh for pity's sake, the format of the list is in flux. I will report on it another time |
| 20:24 |
|
:) |
| 20:24 |
|
I'm working with slef on it, and he holds all of the same concerns you all do |
| 20:24 |
gmcharlt |
revised per larsw http://koha.pastebin.com/aqeJTs4D |
| 20:25 |

I move to propose that wording above as the new vendor listing policy ^^ |

schuster |

but it doesn't address the linkback issue. Talk about walking on eggshells! |
| 20:26 |
wizzyrea |
bah, we can drop it |
| 20:26 |
|
idc really, I just didn't want people passing themselves off as official |
| 20:26 |
schuster |
off to do a few things to get ready for tomorrow. Thanks all... Hope the 3.2alpha2 can be really short. |
| 20:27 |
wizzyrea |
ok, i will take this wording, we can change it later |
| 20:27 |
|
if we want/need to |
| 20:27 |

thank you, very good discussion |

gmcharlt nengard: I also think that we should have English content at en.wiki.koha-community.org and that wiki.koha-community.org should be a static page pointing at en.wiki.koha-community.org for now with other languages added after testing how they work in some other test database to avoid breaking things. |

I will pledge to move content created in other languages as a spur to make sure I test multi-lingual localisation very soon. |

* chris_n |
really should find other things to do |
| 21:32 |
chris |
theres tons of things called koha in nz |
| 21:32 |
chris_n |
that would make it kinda hard to trademark the word I'd think |
| 21:32 |
wizzyrea |
it's a lovely word, lovely premise, why wouldn't you use it everywhere |
| 21:32 |
chris |
chris_n: you trademark in certain usage |
| 21:33 |
wizzyrea |
so you trademark for koha as defined as ILS |
| 21:33 |
|
brendan joined #koha |

so you can only tm it in terms of a specific usage ... and not the common usage |

yes |

ahh |

thats what liblime did |

OK - feel free to tell me to shut up if this touches a nerve - Just read the LWN article, got the impression from IRC logs that things were 'tense' with liblime before. who are all the catalyst NZ people here - is that just a local company who happens to have a lot of koha customers? |
| 21:52 |
* chris |
works for catalyst |
| 21:52 |
chris |
so yeah its an nz company that has one of the original koha developers, plus russel who also used to work at katipo and then liblime with me |

I hate May. All meetings are out of place. |

nengard, an announcement of Koha Debian packages is premature, but would an announcement that Debian should now have all Debian dependencies be appropriate for the newsletter? |
| 23:20 |
nengard |
larsw it would be very appropriate! send it along :) |
| 23:24 |
slef |
What's the copy deadline on the newsletter? |
| 23:26 |
nengard |
emailed to me by the end of the 13th your time |
| 23:26 |

chris I'm not sure - I may have missed this - is there any planned freeze on bugs.koha.org or are we waiting for people to create usernames? |
| 23:53 |
chris |
the latter |
| 23:53 |
|
ill give it a week, then ill call a freeze |
| 23:53 |
|
for another weeks time |
| 23:55 |
|
sounds feasible? |
