00:22 chris succeeded
00:31 looks like gmcharlt is pushing patches from his hotel room
00:31 mle: not AD is a good choice :)

00:36 * gmcharlt is not, however, pushing patches that have merge conflict markers in them ;)
00:36 chris :)

00:55 custard chris: well at least they were undefeated, *and* they weren't prevented from progressing by being clobbered in the first round (by say the Germans).
00:56 chris custard: there is that :)
00:56 custard chris, lars and robin: there's now a worked example of applying the koha .debs to ubuntu lucid on the wiki.
00:56 chris excellent thank you

01:27 gmcharlt geez, that will teach me to tag before I compose the email announcing the release ;)
01:27 chris heh
01:27 * wizzyrea_ cheers
01:27 chris i do like gits annotated tags a lot
01:28 wizzyrea_ grats fellas
01:29 chris_n itchy trigger finger gmcharlt?
01:29 gmcharlt no, just took me a moment to remove the trivial commits from the release email
01:31 custard Ok, probably not your standard of cold, but last real numbers are 5.4 with apparent temp of 2.6 at about 0900 (about half an hour back)

01:32 :)
01:32 richard it's a rare event to get snow in wellington
01:32 * chris_n shows his ignorance about NZ :P
01:32 richard actually in the late 80's it sleeted.
01:33 * richard was working outside at the time and thoroughly miserable

02:04 jloucks Anyone have any experience moving from Follett to Koha?
02:05 chris i dont think anyone here, but i know it has been done before
02:05 wizzyrea_ what's your specific question?
02:06 gmcharlt jloucks: I've done migrations from Follett as well (more to Evergreen than Koha, as it happens)
02:06 wizzyrea_ < has been in orbit around follett > koha migrations
02:06 * chris thought you guys were off having lives :-)
02:06 wizzyrea_ eh
02:07 i'm watching bones on netflix, why not answer follett questions :P ;)
02:07 chris :)
02:07 gmcharlt @dict life
02:07 munin gmcharlt: devils, foldoc, gcide, easton, wn, jargon, bouvier, vera, and moby-thes responded: vera: LIFE Logistics Interface For manufacturing Environment; vera: LIFE Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering [research] (MITI); foldoc: life <jargon> The opposite of {Usenet}. As in "{Get a life!}" [{Jargon File}] (1995-04-21); easton: Life generally of physical life (Gen. 2:7; Luke (39 more messages)
02:07 wizzyrea_ and gmcharlt had to look it up
02:07 see
02:07 :)
02:07 jloucks Ha. Wish I was watching bones.
02:08 wizzyrea_ netflix streaming, almost all the seasons, 8 bucks a month
02:08 jloucks Manged to get everything imported from follett with the conversion script. The data looks clean. Not sure it got assigned to a particular library or not, though.
02:12 gmcharlt jloucks: "assinging to a particular library" is using done for the item records
02:13 if you were creating 952 fields in the bib records to transfer the items to Koha
02:13 Genji joined #koha
02:13 Genji greetings all.
02:14 gmcharlt 952 subfield $b would have the item's home branch code, and $d the holding branch code
02:14 Genji multiple databases / libraries on same server...  how does one use addbiblio to shove the record into a particular library?
02:15 gmcharlt er rather, make that $a for home and $b for holdings
02:15 Genji: do you mean multiple Koha databases?
02:17 Genji gmcharlt: boss wants to have some records shared between libraries... and some not. But,  some users  should not be able to access some libraries... some people should be able to search all....
02:17 i suggested seperate koha databases.. he didn't like that idea.
02:21 chris your boss might be up for shelling out a chunk of time/money to develop code to do that then
02:21 Genji yeah. thats me.
02:21 Whats 'filter by library' do currently?
02:24 chris you can restrict searches to a library
02:24 but afaik there is no way to have a record availabe in some, .. i think its either one or all
02:25 jloucks Out of curiosity--is there any way to restrict to a library by default? Or have a drop down available on the main search screen?
02:25 Genji right... and i can take out libraries not permitted, from the library dropdown.
02:26 pianohack joined #koha
02:26 Genji but how do i put records at creation time, into libraries?
02:29 chris you dont
02:29 items belong to libraries
02:29 records dont
02:29 as it stands
02:29 Genji okay... how do i create an item?
02:29 chris srsly?
02:30 Genji yeah.. its been ages. the library ive been working for, for the last couple of years... doesn't have items. its a digital library.. never needed items.
02:30 jloucks LOL. I know how both of you feel...
02:31 chris right, id still have items ;) each item would maybe just contain a url :)  but thats by the by
02:31 jloucks I've been assigned this project by the school I work for, though I've got little to no understanding of marc records and library systems. I'm the tech guy, so I'm just supposed to figure it out. At least there is a decent community.
02:32 chris its the last part of the adding a new record process, you add a biblio record, then the last part is adding items
02:32 luckily we have a good manual too :)
02:32 wizzyrea_ http://koha-community.org/docu[…]-manual/?ch=x6925
02:32 chris http://koha-community.org/docu[…]?ch=x6925#AEN6928
02:32 Genji hmm... never seen that page, in the process..
02:32 jloucks I've got records and items imported, but the import must not have had branch/location information.
02:33 You're supposed to have a great wiki, too... unforunately it doesn't exist that I Can find.
02:33 chris yep
02:33 wizzyrea_ wiki.koha-community.org
02:33 chris wiki.koha-community.org
02:33 wizzyrea_ you are going to the wrong website
02:33 www.koha-community.org
02:33 chris www.koha-community.org is a great place to explain why the koha-community bit ;)
02:33 stop copying me wizzyrea_ :_)
02:33 wizzyrea_ neener neener
02:34 jloucks well the appropriate link sure helps!
02:34 wizzyrea_ ya, koha.org is kind of.. um... dead to us
02:35 chris ever since that thing with the cousins
02:35 * wizzyrea_ giggles
02:35 larsw yay, beta
02:35 Genji what fields in items control which libraries?
02:36 chris check out youre koha-marc mappings
02:36 wizzyrea_ er rather, make that $a for home and $b for holdings
02:36 says gmcharlt
02:36 952
02:36 chris usually its 952 $a and $b
02:36 wizzyrea_ AGAIN with the copying!
02:36 chris but you are running some weird version genji, so best be checking ;)
02:37 gmcharlt chris: wizzyrea: you may find it more comfortable if you stop occupying each other's brains ;)
02:37 chris theres a better couch in wizzyrea_'s
02:37 wizzyrea_ chris has way better booze in his
02:38 chris 1 hour and 16 minutes until beer oclock!!
02:39 Genji oh hey, chris, Can i get ops?
02:39 please?

02:42 * gmcharlt breathes sigh of relief that he had dropped the 'i' instead of the 'l'
02:42 Genji gmcharlt: and the log address is?
02:42 Topic for #koha is now Koha, a free integrated library system - http://koha-community.org/.  This channel is publicly logged at http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/
02:42 jloucks Alright... Checked out the marc-koha mappings and used marcedit to take a look at my import... Guess that none of my records have any data for 952-a or 952-b.
02:43 chris that'd do it jloucks
02:43 jloucks Yep...
02:46 * gmcharlt is going to bed
02:46 gmcharlt g'night
02:47 Genji Night...
02:47 chris sleep well
02:49 jloucks Just did a batch replace of =952  \\  with =952 \\$aNCHS$bNCHS (NCHS is the site code) -- hoping that'll do the trick.
02:50 gmcharlt jloucks: should, assuming that you've set up NCHS as a branch code in the Koha database first
02:50 jloucks now I've gotta wait to undo my last export... bleh.
02:50 chris now, make sure you set that branch up
02:50 oh no, now im in gmcharlt's brain too
02:50 * gmcharlt settles into the collective apartment that apparently combines my brain, chris', and wizzyrea's
02:51 jloucks Hmmm.. I've set up the library code. Where is branch setup at? I didn't see that in the admin area.
02:52 chris branch/library
02:52 same thing
02:53 robin <gmcharlt> OK, so who do those dishes belong to? And pick your clothes off the floor!
02:53 gmcharlt heh
02:53 jloucks Yeah. I've got a library set up with the name of NCHS Library and the code of NCHS. This seems promising.
02:54 gmcharlt robin: considering the way I keep house, that question would be asked of me, not by me :)
02:54 robin gmcharlt: hehe
02:55 jloucks As I add the other libraries later, is there a way to force the user to choose a specific library/branch? Or even to link to a specific library/branch?
02:55 like via a dropdown next to the search...
02:55 chris yes
02:55 wizzyrea_ ya
02:55 gmcharlt jloucks: and you can also configure things so that a given Apache virtual host limits to a particular library by default
02:55 chris http://library.kapiticoast.gov[…]ha/opac-search.pl
02:56 if you want to just let them pick they can do it from there
02:56 jloucks I really want this to work. I'm tired of the admins around here not giving anything open source a chance, and subsequently draining our budget.
02:56 wizzyrea_ jloucks++
02:57 gmcharlt: someday, you must teach me the secret of that
02:58 jloucks Gmcharlt--that sounds awesome.
02:58 When I Get the basics down and everything imported and functioning, I'll definitely have to follow up with that.
02:58 pianohack jloucks: What ils are you importing from?
02:58 wizzyrea_ follett
02:59 jloucks Follett.
02:59 Yeah.
02:59 pianohack oh, cool
02:59 wizzyrea_ i'm fast ;)
02:59 jloucks Librarian was pushing for destiny, but the cost is astronomical.
02:59 pianohack Were there scripts for that on contribs.koha.org?
02:59 wizzyrea_ indeed
02:59 contribs is still up
02:59 jloucks yeah. They require some easy editing.
03:00 pianohack I have a migration from follett lying around that I need to take care of, so I was curious how that was going, jloucks
03:00 jloucks Just the item types though.
03:00 wizzyrea_ nobody has offered to take up hosting of that one yet
03:00 pianohack I'd offer our library, but I'm leaving soon and our tubes are not quite internet enough for it
03:00 jloucks then I had to batch edit our site code in because we were running individual sites...
03:00 pianohack Right
03:00 jloucks What needs hosted?
03:00 pianohack You touched borrowers yet?
03:00 contribs.koha.org
03:00 wizzyrea_ contribs.koha-community.org
03:01 pianohack well, yes
03:01 See, I live in the brain next door ;)
03:01 wizzyrea_ hehe
03:01 jloucks what kind of bandwidth does it need? We've got 10mb upstream we barely touch.
03:01 wizzyrea_ probably not a whole lot
03:01 but I really have NO idea
03:01 pianohack I have no idea who even admins that, come to think of it
03:02 wizzyrea_ almost has to be LL :/
03:02 jloucks Ha. Well, we could do it, I'm sure.
03:02 chris well back in the day
03:02 i set it up
03:02 jloucks As far as hosting goes, anyway
03:02 chris but i long since lost access
03:02 i suspect we'd have to get all the files, from there (There isnt much) and set it up somewhere else
03:02 pianohack wizzyrea, chris: Yup, looks like it's on one of ll's ec2 instances
03:03 Would we want to replicate the exact setup?
03:03 Wordpress, being the closest earthly example of a perfect CMS, might be a better way
03:03 wizzyrea_ >..
03:03 >.>
03:03 chris wouldn't have to be, it is quite nice .. but just something that allows people to upload stuff, and do version etc
03:03 wizzyrea_ <.<
03:03 Genji Drupal, myself.
03:03 pianohack (minor exaggeration, but the answer to so many problems seems to be "use wordpress dammit")
03:03 wizzyrea_ idk ANYBODY who has wordpress...
03:03 * wizzyrea_ gives the shifty eye
03:04 chris i think we'd be stretching wordpress
03:04 pianohack maybe a bit
03:04 wizzyrea_ depends, there's probably a plugin for that
03:04 chris i wonder if the code that runs freshmeat is gpl
03:04 wizzyrea_ ^^ good point
03:05 pianohack maybe. the current contribs interface and freshmeat get the job done, but they're a tad clunky
03:05 Genji sourceforge engine is opensource.
03:05 chris yeah sourceforge is way overkill
03:06 i find the latest incarnation of freshmeat.net really clean
03:06 pianohack Ironically, this software would work quite well: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
03:06 jloucks I could set up a 20gb dedicated virtual on ESXI with dedicated IP with either 2003 or whatever flavor of linux if someone wants to remote in and take care of the rest once it is done.
03:07 pianohack jloucks: Sounds like an awesome offer
03:07 also, why is freshmeat actually attractive, this must be against some law
03:08 jloucks if you guys get serious about it, just drop me an e-mail at erate@nc.k12.mo.us with the reqs and I'll get it setup.
03:08 pianohack jloucks++
03:08 wizzyrea_ ok, I know I should know where you're from now
03:08 since I live in KS
03:09 Genji jloucks++
03:09 jloucks MO Here.
03:09 wizzyrea_ where in MO, if you feel ok telling
03:09 jloucks near columbia.
03:09 wizzyrea_ i'm lazy, I could google it
03:09 OH MORTAL ENEMY!
03:09 chris there is a new version of PEM
03:09 jloucks Smack dab in the middle of the state.
03:09 * wizzyrea_ hisses
03:09 jloucks HA.
03:09 Don't worry, I'm not a college sports fan.
03:09 * wizzyrea_ might live in the land of the jayhawks
03:09 wizzyrea_ >.>
03:09 jloucks I watch Hockey and that's it.
03:09 wizzyrea_ me either really, but I did graduate from KU :P
03:10 jloucks I went to columbia college, so I avoided MU myself.
03:10 wizzyrea_ ok, we can be friends
03:10 :)
03:10 pianohack bah, midwesterners
03:10 wizzyrea_ bah, colorado folks
03:10 pianohack hehehe
03:10 jloucks I haven't been on irc in like 12 years... Maybe 14.
03:10 wizzyrea_ what are you coloradans?
03:10 pianohack I have no idea
03:10 westerners?
03:11 wizzyrea_ mountain folk?
03:11 pianohack I think the southwest is maybe 2 or 3 actual states
03:11 Genji so, is jloucks offer going to get taken up?
03:11 pianohack Well, we'll have to figure out what to put there
03:11 wizzyrea_ ya
03:11 pianohack But definitely yes, I would think
03:11 jloucks It'll be good to use some of our bandwidth that wer'e paying a crap ton for... for something useful.
03:12 And if I'm hosting something, I will subsequently feel less dirty asking lazy questions.
03:13 pianohack Bah
03:13 Ask away; personality is far more important than bugginess
03:13 Nice buggy people keep koha alive ;)
03:14 wizzyrea_ ^^
03:14 jloucks So, I'm guessing it is worth the time to setup Zebra? The language made it sound like it was going to be a PITA to do... We've got 30-40k items.
03:14 pianohack jloucks: Well, it can be
03:14 wizzyrea_ but yea, it's probably worth it
03:14 jloucks About 10k per site.
03:14 chris defintely worth doing
03:14 pianohack yup, even at that level
03:14 chris even if you had 7 records
03:14 pianohack Fast and accurate searches
03:14 jloucks How much of it is library lingo that will be foreign to me.
03:14 wizzyrea_ not much
03:14 pianohack It's much more tech than library lingo
03:14 Zebra lingo actually
03:15 jloucks Oh, well if it is like NAT and whatnot that's no problem.
03:15 pianohack Zebra is weird in some fairly unique ways
03:15 But we're here to help!
03:15 wizzyrea_ ^^
03:15 jloucks fantastic.
03:15 Reverting this import is taking for freaking ever.
03:15 pianohack Yes, can imagine
03:16 Last import I did was in the 2.2 days, where I just TRUNCATEd everything after a bad import, so I wouldn't know...
03:16 jloucks Probably should have just started over from the base image... could have been importing by now.
03:16 Import only took a few hours here.
03:16 chris bulkmarcimport.pl -d from the commandline :)
03:16 pianohack my tactics might not work so well in a more civilized age :)
03:16 chris i use bulkmarcimport to do mine, i dont use the web based version for migration stuff
03:17 jloucks didn't know anything else existed.
03:17 chris misc/migration
03:17 jloucks Cmdline is great if you know what you are doing.
03:17 chris yup
03:17 jloucks I tried running an update when I first installed--screwed everything up.
03:17 But, of course, I was being lazy and using the vmware image.
03:18 wizzyrea_ at least you're honest
03:18 pianohack Maybe I should port the import profiles work Idid that's languishing in the repos of an... unnamed vendor to bulkmarcimport.pl
03:18 chris that would be handy
03:18 pianohack Would actually be far easier without having to deal with AJAX UI stuff
03:18 Amit joined #koha
03:18 Amit heya chris
03:19 chris pianohack: no doubt
03:19 hi Amit
03:19 pianohack browsers--
03:19 Also, hi amit
03:19 Amit hi pianohack
03:22 jloucks hey, while I'm sitting here waiting for this revert to finish--is there any way to automatically fill in the "item description" field with the book summary from another database?
03:22 wizzyrea_ like amazon?
03:22 pianohack jloucks: Not exactly, but if you turn on Amazon content, you'll at least get it to show up in the catalog (staff and OPAC)
03:23 jloucks Trying to think of things that might make our head librarian more receptive.
03:23 And automatically pulling in item info would be one thing she'd love.
03:23 pianohack "Koha: we don't even WANT your soul!"
03:24 jloucks: Example: http://catalog.florencecolibra[…]iblionumber=22423 under title notes
03:24 jloucks I got my codes last night from amazon, but they weren't activated until a few hours ago. I'll have to try putting them in now.
03:25 So--the title notes there--was that manual or from amazon/
03:25 pianohack You'll have to make sure that the other Amazon system preferences are turned on
03:25 From amazon
03:25 jloucks Fantastic
03:25 Yeah, I actually know where the amazon settings are.
03:25 pianohack awesome!
03:25 jloucks need to go find my codes and put them in.
03:25 pianohack It's just slightly strange and confusing, so wanted to be sure
03:26 (really need to convince my library director to spend the extra money on a shorter domain name)
03:26 wizzyrea_ ph: we have one at www.williamsburgcommunitylibrary.org
03:27 tell me that's not way too long
03:27 pianohack gah!
03:27 florencecolibrary.org -> jcfld.org = bliss, for only $15 a year
03:28 also, I want to get rid of our internal domain name .jcfl
03:28 but anyway
03:28 ignore the ocd sysadmin
03:28 wizzyrea_ I don't ever have to be OCD
03:28 I have nekls.org
03:28 pianohack lucky. Do your internal systems use subdomains of that?
03:29 wizzyrea_ only lan.nekls.org
03:29 pianohack ah, k
03:29 supposedly that is a better idea (tm)
03:29 wizzyrea_ idk about that, but it works out
03:30 pianohack because who knows, the joshing country of malodorous librarians might register .jcfl, AND THEN WHERE WOULD WE BE
03:30 *joshing country of falafel librarians
03:30 supposedly that's the reason to not use an internal, unregistered domain like .corp or .nekls
03:31 jloucks when I started here we were web.northcallaway.k12.mo.us
03:31 pianohack yeah, the .us domains are a bit unwieldly
03:31 jloucks we're just nc.k12.mo.us now
03:31 pianohack anyway, time for netflix. see you all later!
03:31 jloucks still long, but not nearly as bad.
03:32 wizzyrea_ we had nekls.lib.ks.us for a while
03:32 well, we still have it
03:32 pianohack is now known as piano|afk
03:32 wizzyrea_ but don't use it
03:32 jloucks So-- I got the amazon stuff enabled, but title notes and reviews still don't show up.
03:32 The book jacket shwos now, though.
03:32 wizzyrea_ do you have *all* of they keys in?
03:32 and *all* of the prefs on?
03:34 jloucks all of the ones in "enhanced content"
03:34 Are there more/
03:34 ?
03:35 I'm also not sure about my AmazonAssocTag -- I've got an amazon associates ID. And, of course, I also have the AccessKeyId.
03:35 wizzyrea_ do you have the secret key too?
03:35 jloucks Yeah, I've got one... didn't see where it was to be put in, though.
03:35 wizzyrea_ ooh
03:35 what version?
03:35 more -> about koha
03:36 jloucks 3.00.01.005
03:36 Take it I need to start over?
03:36 wizzyrea_ if you don't have a place for the secret key, you probably won't have the ability to get all of the advanced content
03:36 for amazon content, yea
03:36 :(
03:36 jloucks Ah well. I was trying to avoid setting up debian from scratch.
03:36 chris yeah thats a pretty old version
03:37 you *should* be able to use the vmware image
03:37 and just download and install koha
03:37 and then point to your new version, instead of the old one
03:37 if the upgrade didnt work
03:37 jloucks <--linux newbie. I'm an Active Directory 2000/2003/2008 admin.
03:38 chris you could even install a new version of koha
03:38 then dump the db frmo the old one
03:38 import it into the new one
03:38 then koha will go, hey, this needs upgrading, and upgrade the db
03:38 jloucks the db is basically empty right now, because the first import was jank.
03:38 Not worried about that.
03:38 chris and you wont even have to to dthe import
03:38 right
03:38 well if you dont want to install debian
03:38 keep using the vmare image
03:39 and just get a new version of koha
03:39 jloucks Yeah, Just need to learn the command line etc. I've used ubuntu a little, and suse a little, and mint a little.
03:39 But it seems like the commands are always slightly different, and I use them rarely enough that I forget everything
03:40 going to go find the initial setup guide now and see if I Can install the latest version
03:42 probably be easier to just start from scrach instead of vmware. Every time I log in as root it automatically starts the koha admin instead of taking me to an elevated cmd line.
03:52 hmmm... koha user has cmd line... now I'll try the upgrade from here.
03:56 * Genji uses mint.... usually. "Except now, i rigged up a jackd install, and ive got only 2 channel sound, when i should have 6.. so i have ot use windows to watch dvds...."
04:02 jloucks Mint is very nice.
04:02 I haven't used it a lot, but I have it on my laptop as my linux machine... just trying to get a better feel for linux in general.
04:02 Genji i think mint is the most mature linux ive used.
04:05 jloucks it is great, right off the installer.
04:08 Genji i put debian on another machine because of its ease of creating raid in installer.. but now i have the problem of.. a unprivileged user can't just insert a cd and have it automount.. and it also refuses to mount, too... even using a su'ed terminal...fustrating.
04:15 robin yay, almost have a handler made to allow Apache to authenticate against Koha. But now, beer o'clock has arrived.
04:15 richard oooh beer o'clock
04:17 Genji whats the disadvantage of having libraries vs databases?

08:36 Mehwish Hello All
08:37 I have a problem in Koha.. in OPAC Search.
08:37 can anybody help me out?
08:39 Actually when I search for a particular book, it is showing its copies in only one library.. It is not showing names of aall libraries in which that book is present.
08:40 in Koha Staff client it shows names of all branches but in OPAC only any one of libraries..
08:41 gmcharlt Mehwish: is it doing this just in the summary search results, or also on the OPAC bib details page?
08:42 bigbrovar joined #koha
08:42 Mehwish Thanks for reply
08:43 actually in details page if there are multiple copies of that book in different libraries
08:43 then it shows error message..
08:44 An Error has Occurred Error 404      * An error occurred while try to process your request.     * To report this error, you can email the Koha Administrator.     * Use top menu bar to navigate to another part of Koha.
08:45 any Idea? Anything missing in installation?
08:46 gmcharlt Mehwish: are you using Zebra?  It shounds like some indexing is out of sync, and doing rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r
08:46 may help
08:47 Mehwish No I have selected No Zebra at the time of Installation.
08:47 gmcharlt ok
08:47 Mehwish I thought it is not necessary and it will require soem more configurations..
08:48 gmcharlt do you see anything in the Apache error when you try looking at one of those bibs?
08:48 Mehwish hmm Let me check on my server.. telling u in few minutes..
08:48 chris good grief, how are you awake already gmcharlt

09:06 everything is fine.
09:06 i might have missed some configuration..
09:07 but now more than 2000 records have been entered.
09:07 do we need to enter all again?

14:50 we ought to report all our bugs in bugzilla... But reporting in english things written in french would double our work. We do for most of them.
14:50 But well.
14:50 chris_n yeah, language will always be a problem and lead to double work unfortunately (unless bugzilla gets some auto translation abilities)

15:05 cait hi all
15:08 gmcharlt chris_n: hdl: since we can customize the Koha bugzilla, we could try a couple things
15:09 one would be adding a custom field to link to a big Koha contributor's bug system
15:09 and since BZ3 can accept bug updates via email and can support pushing bugs via a web service
15:09 * chris_n wondered if linking was an option
15:09 hdl gmcharlt: we could try.
15:10 gmcharlt adding hooks so that a bug in BibLibre's MT is automatically pushed to the Koha BZ would be feasible
15:10 owen Assuming the reports don't have customer-sensitive data?
15:10 chris_n even if it was in French, google translate should render enough to figure out what's going on
15:11 then there is always the option of asking for a translation or explanation if further is needed
15:11 gmcharlt owen: right, would like need to filter which bugs get cross-linked, I would assume
15:11 hdl I think some reasonable filters could make sensitive data out of scope.

19:24 * owen sees the steely look in chris's eyes when he says that
19:24 cait :)
19:25 jwagner But chris, we're NOT typing it a third time!  That's what cut and paste is for!!!
19:25 * jwagner ducks for cover
19:27 chris another speaker confirmation, only 3 left to confirm now
19:27 and then we can publish the programme
19:31 one from india, one from nigeria, and one from the us left to confirm
19:34 sorry make that italy, confirmation from india, malaysia, pakistan, one us, australia, france, uk, and of course nz already
19:34 its sounding more like a UN conference :)
19:35 rhcl_away left #koha
19:35 owen It just goes to show that NZ is easier to get to from much of the world than the US is
19:36 cait :)
19:36 chris certainly to get a visa, yep :)
19:36 owen Last year's conference wasn't nearly as international

19:40 chris we havent really publicised it in non koha channels, yet, will do once the programme is finalised (next few days) but we have about 53 registered already
