00:00 jcamins That makes this month the third-busiest month in the last twelve.
00:01 cait hm
00:01 closer to release date...
00:01 makes sense probably?
00:01 jcamins 5th busiest month in the last two years.
00:02 Yup.
00:02 dcook Wow..
00:02 I wonder what the breakdown for that is
00:02 How many are template changes, module changes, script changes
00:03 Nice to see lots of Owen's changes going through to make the interfaces that much nicer :D
00:03 jcamins I will leave that sort of statistics for someone else.
00:03 rangi http://git.koha-community.org/[…]its_by_year/month
00:03 jcamins Hey... I can make it 4th busiest!
00:03 dcook hehe
00:03 jcamins Cool! Thanks.
00:04 Odd...
00:04 rangi thats when the patches were authored, not when they were pushed (that one i posted)
00:04 bag rangi usually rans stats
00:04 jcamins Those numbers do not match up with mine...
00:04 at all.
00:04 Oh.
00:04 That would be why.
00:04 bag s/rans/runs
00:04 is feeling slow today
00:04 wizzyrea in the past tense even.
00:05 dcook So 2008, 2011, 2012 have been big years
00:05 Well, actually, quite a few, but the biggest
00:05 wizzyrea 2009-2010 were mired in conflict and strife.
00:05 jcamins There's a definite upward trend.
00:05 rangi yep 2011 was when we got rid of the deadweight
00:06 end of 2010
00:06 wizzyrea 2008 was 3.0
00:06 and that was huge
00:06 dcook Mmm, all in the numbers, eh?
00:07 wizzyrea 2009-10 were waiting for people to get out of the way
00:07 more or less.
00:07 dcook What happened between 2006-2007?
00:07 BibLibre?
00:07 wahanui hmmm... BibLibre is already doing something like this, so perhaps once this tool is complete, it would provide an easier method of maintaining the service you already provide
00:07 wizzyrea people becoming interested in the idea of an open ILS
00:08 forget biblibre
00:08 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot biblibre
00:08 dcook wizzyrea: that's really exciting :)
00:08 wizzyrea yea, french adoption I guess
00:09 trea1 joined #koha
00:09 wizzyrea well where's the gource video
00:09 it shows
00:09 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl1a2VN_pec
00:09 10 years of koha is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl1a2VN_pec
00:09 10 years of koha?
00:09 wahanui 10 years of koha is probably at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl1a2VN_pec
00:13 wizzyrea when did koha transition to git?
00:14 rangi 2007
00:14 wizzyrea oh so that's what was happening then :)
00:14 cait :)
00:15 rangi that was about the one and only good thing that came out of my time at liblime
00:16 jcamins You didn't even get any nice t-shirts?
00:16 rangi actually i didnt!
00:16 * slef mumbles something about suggesting git long before that
00:16 * wizzyrea pats slef
00:17 wizzyrea there there
00:17 git wasn't very old in 2008 though
00:17 slef although it wasn't my first suggestion... using arch for 2.0.n>1 wasn't a great move
00:19 wizzyrea: it was 3 years old.  That's like 21 years old in human years.
00:19 BobB joined #koha
00:19 BobB_ joined #koha
00:19 dcook Mmm, so jcamins and ethyian had their first commits in 2010, eh?
00:19 Amazing work since then guys :)
00:19 Everyone really
00:19 jcamins Thanks.
00:19 Oooh, have I caught up with anyone recently?
00:19 * dcook just finished watching the youtube video
00:20 eythian http://www.trademe.co.nz/Brows[…]aspx?id=567299698
00:21 jcamins Hm... doesn't seem too likely that I'll be passing hdl.
00:22 cait i think i fell down one
00:22 jcamins cait: yes... that was me. :P
00:22 cait tss
00:22 i need to get 19 more commits
00:23 before colin does... he is in reach
00:23 jcamins I need to get another 350. :P
00:23 dcook Where are those stats again?
00:23 jcamins http://git.koha-community.org/[…]ster/authors.html
00:24 slef http://dashboard.koha-community.org/ are the better stats to optimise
00:24 dcook Yeah, I have the dashboard up but some stats seem to be missing
00:25 cait I wanted to catch nicole.. but life interfered
00:25 jcamins slef: true, but I shouldn't be showing well on any of those.
00:25 slef dashboard source?
00:25 anyone know where?
00:25 rangi in gitorious
00:25 dcook Nearly 13 million lines of code, rangi?
00:25 rangi dcook: po files
00:25 wahanui po files are outdated
00:25 dcook Mmm
00:26 slef jcamins: shouldn't your name show up on "New features recently pushed" somehow? ;-)
00:26 or there should be a last N pushes or something
00:26 rangi https://gitorious.org/koha-dashboard
00:26 i havent pushed to there in a little while so its out of date
00:26 slef dashboard source is https://gitorious.org/koha-dashboard
00:27 jcamins slef: since only one person is ever pushing things at a time, it doesn't really seem necessary.
00:27 slef rangi--
00:27 wizzyrea !
00:27 slef jcamins: well, can we judge you on the datestamps in that column then? Give you a beer if all five are today? ;-)
00:27 rangi its pushed to my localbackups of course .. or i could just turn the dashboard server off if you would prefer?
00:28 cait noooooo
00:28 jcamins slef: they won't be, because I prioritize bugfixes.
00:28 Actually, wait...
00:28 they might be.
00:29 slef jcamins: hmm. "bugfixes recently pushed" would be a nice enh.

00:34 jcamins Okay...
00:34 I am confused.
00:34 bug 9456
00:34 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9456 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Passed QA , Add callnumber column to the cart
00:34 jcamins Wasn't the goal improved readability?
00:36 dcook Hmm
00:36 rangi i think it was just being able to sort by callnumber was the original goal
00:36 jcamins Well... it does sort by callnumber.
00:37 But now you can't tell which library which item is at.
00:37 rangi ahh thats less than useful
00:37 jcamins Yeah.
00:37 dcook jcamins: How's that?
00:38 jcamins dcook: you end up with something that looks like Call number Branch Branch Call number Branch
00:38 dcook Interesting
00:38 wahanui Interesting is probably sometimes good and sometimes bad
00:39 jcamins And it's a solid mass of text.
00:39 dcook :S:
00:39 slef Changes submitted for bug 8740
00:40 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8740 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, mjr, Needs Signoff , Serials Claims should be exportable all at once
00:45 dcook Hmm. Some of these bootstrap changes look rather awful in Chrome..
00:46 jcamins dcook: really?
00:46 I like 'em a lot!
00:46 dcook Maybe it's a caching issue then..
00:46 jcamins I use Chrome on a Mac.
00:46 wizzyrea oh yes definitely nuke your cache
00:46 they always look bad right at first.
00:46 oleonard joined #koha
00:46 wizzyrea god it's like he knows
00:46 oleonard I sensed a disturbance in the Force...
00:47 dcook jcamins: Looks like it was caching :)
00:47 lol
00:47 eythian it was just the farce, nothing to worry about oleonard
00:47 dcook oleonard++
00:47 jcamins lol
00:47 oleonard *whew*
00:47 dcook It was weird..
00:48 I've seen weird caching before but this was different
00:48 oleonard: Yes, before that moment, I've been a huge fan of the Bootstrap additions :)
00:49 jcamins Woohoo! I saved $0.29/lb on lentils today!
00:50 oleonard I was just reading the logs because I didn't know where else to go to find out what to do with an extra half an avacado
00:50 dcook lol
00:50 jcamins oleonard: ... really?
00:50 oleonard No, but that's what I found! :)
00:50 jcamins Oh.
00:51 Ooh! I can use the splinter code review!
00:52 wizzyrea lolol
00:52 jcamins No I can't.
00:52 How do I leave a comment?
00:53 huginn New commit(s) kohagit: Merge branch 'bug_3549' into 3.12-master <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]4c7d45f81b5438292> / Bug 3549 -[Revised]- Framework sorting in addbook <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]3433693717f2738dd>
00:53 rangi double click on the line you want to comment on
00:53 jcamins Ah!
00:53 Cool!
00:53 Thanks.
00:53 rangi then go back to overview and hit publish
00:53 when you are done
00:53 or only u can see them :)
00:54 oleonard How does it fit into the process? The person who submitted the patch sees that there is a review?
00:57 jcamins Yeah, it gets e-mailed to everyone watching the bug.
00:57 rangi everyone does (who reads the mailing list or is subscribed to the bug)
00:57 jcamins oleonard: why are you online?
00:57 It seems a bit later than usual for you.
00:57 oleonard I dunno.
00:58 slef wizzyrea++
00:59 @quote add <oleonard> I was just reading the logs because I didn't know where else to go to find out what to do with an extra half an avacado

00:59 jcamins Hey... what _does_ the VM Manager do?
00:59 slef jcamins: manages viral monkeys. What did you think it does?
00:59 wizzyrea wait what'd I do?
01:00 slef wizzyrea: took http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9322 to lists
01:00 huginn 04Bug 9322: major, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Needs Signoff , If multiple transfers exist (from circ/branchtransfers.pl), completing one completes them all
01:01 wizzyrea oh yea, it needed eyes desperately
01:01 needs fixing desperately too
01:02 (do note, it's not catalyst that has been paid to do the work that is hung up by that bug)
01:02 i just know that larger libraries that heavily use transits get things hung up by that bug.
01:02 and it's unpleasant at best to unravel
01:03 jcamins slef: to be honest, I haven't a clue. What VMs?
01:03 tcohen joined #koha
01:05 slef jcamins: is this about roles for 3.14?
01:05 jcamins slef: yeah.
01:05 A potential volunteer wants to know what his duties would entail before telling the world he's interested in doing it.
01:06 slef I guess it's keeping the VM image up to date.
01:06 as in http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]pment_Environment
01:06 Is it a new role?
01:07 eythian I think that wiki page is totally unrelated
01:07 jcamins I think so?
01:07 slef it was listed on http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Roles_for_3.12 but unassigned
01:07 dcook There is an existing VM image loaded up with Koha somewhere?
01:07 I suppose the LiveDvd..
01:08 jcamins Oh, I bet it's about the Virtual Appliances that Kyle used to do.
01:08 That makes sense.
01:10 NateC joined #koha
01:11 rangi oh this is interesting

01:13 jcamins Ha! Paul is responsible for more than me!
01:13 How did you do that?
01:13 rangi heh
01:13 its cli madness

01:14 fun with git ;)

01:15 you are the clear winner in there
01:15 jcamins That I will take credit for. :)
01:15 wizzyrea :)

01:20 rangi galen wins in there tho
01:20 7118 Galen Charlton
01:21 ok time to stop pulling up useless stats and go get kahu from school
01:21 wizzyrea love that kid.
01:21 gl :)
01:21 both bart and kahu.
01:22 rangi 'soren lives in newtown, he will be at the fair eh daddy? He makes me giggle' - kahu this morning
01:22 wizzyrea hehe yea are you guys going to come?
01:22 rangi thats the plan ill sms you
01:22 wizzyrea "he makes me giggle" that's high praise.
01:22 cool
01:23 oleonard Speaking of kids, mine are out of the bath, gotta go

01:45 I'm just about to look at the Amazoncover.js
01:46 But it looks like it removes every image element when it has an error and spits out its own "No cover available"
01:46 In this case, there is a local image elment that should not be erased but it's getting sucked up in the mess

01:51 wizzyrea oh cascading covers has never worked well.
01:52 woot!
01:52 dcook :)
01:53 As for the covers, let's see what I can drum up in the next few minutes..
01:58 eythian wahanui: what is the saddest thing?
01:58 wahanui the saddest thing is probably http://ur1.ca/9x67k
02:01 eythian wahanui: the saddest thing is also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F[…]orecasts_edit.png
02:01 wahanui okay, eythian.
02:03 eythian wahanui: the saddest thing is also http://i39.tinypic.com/14jz15f.jpg
02:03 wahanui okay, eythian.
02:04 eythian wahanui: the saddest thing is also http://ur1.ca/cxl9a
02:04 wahanui okay, eythian.
02:04 jcamins eythian: why are we sad about Itanium?
02:05 eythian the forecasts are the saddest thing
02:06 wizzyrea sounds like the ghostly howls of a drowned tuba player.
02:12 eythian wahanui: the most dangerous game
02:12 wahanui eythian: what?
02:12 eythian wahanui: the most dangerous game is http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=1488
02:12 wahanui OK, eythian.
02:17 dcook :D
02:17 wizzyrea lol.
02:17 * dcook thinks he has a workable solution
02:18 eythian tennis with lit dynamite whilst riding bears.
02:18 it's always a solution.
02:20 * dcook is having way too much fun imagining such a scenario
02:21 dcook In this case, the amazon image just needs to be wrapped in a span...

02:32 wizzyrea O NOES
02:32 dcook :p
02:32 IN ANY CASE, cool clouds all around
02:35 jcamins You know what I dislike?
02:35 dcook What's that?
02:35 wahanui that is in march?
02:35 jcamins Binary logical not.
02:36 Not should be a unary operator.
02:37 eythian it is, isn't it?
02:37 jcamins Unless you are using PQF, yes.
02:38 eythian I see...
02:38 jcamins If you're using PQF, it's mostly just nuts.
02:38 eythian well, really a binary operator should be binary, not unary ;)
02:39 jcamins Right, but I maintain that it should not be binary at all.
02:39 eythian maybe there's a separate unary not operator.
02:39 jcamins Nope. PQF is just mean like that.

02:52 dcook ?
02:52 jcamins That bug has been reported a lot, but I've never been able to duplicate it because I use special Javascript on sites that have both local cover images and Amazon cover images.
02:52 dcook Mmm
02:52 My patch is actually incomplete. Fixing up a complete one at the moment
02:53 Using special javascript would probably be a better idea, but...this fixes the immediate problem
02:54 jcamins No, the Javascript is for something else entirely.
02:54 It just so happens that as a side effect it prevents the bug showing up.
02:56 rangi: do you backport all the Plack fixes to 3.10/3.8?
02:57 dcook Mmm, interesting
02:57 eythian koha packages from master being deployed, based on the new signing keys.
02:58 dcook I assume that JS is the one that I noticed on your dev instance? Seems useful.
02:58 jcamins eythian++
02:59 Yeah, but it's not really generally usable at this point.
03:02 trea left #koha
03:05 dcook Hmm, maybe I'm referring to something different. I just meant that expandable bar you had on the right with all the added info
03:05 In any case, I'll be happy to put this cover image bug to bed
03:05 ...so to speak
03:05 Are bed bugs still a hot issue in the US?
03:06 jcamins Yup.
03:06 In the city, anyway.

05:17 Integrate ElasticSearch as a search engine
05:17 rangi 20 points if you do it
05:18 (it's actually not so bad with jcamins search rewrite)
05:19 dcook I thought ElasticSearch only worked with JSON
05:19 * dcook has been meaning to play with it for...a little over a year
05:21 rangi the main advantage is it is schema less
05:21 you pass the schema with the data you want to index
05:22 with elastic search you could make the opac do discovery .. in an actual useful fashion
05:26 not being a librarian, im all about making the opac useful, if i never to try to improve staff workflows again ill be happy
05:26 never have to even
05:26 dcook hehe
05:27 rangi i should pitch my talk idea to ALA
05:27 dcook Throughout library school, I always thought about things from the perspective of the end user (as I really enjoyed the Vancouver Public Library)
05:28 But now I have noticed more of a focus on the staff end, since clients are librarians. Interesting..
05:29 So with ElasticSearch...you pass it the MARCXML and the MARCXML schema, then it indexes everything and outputs it as JSON?
05:30 rangi pretty much
05:30 and then you throw it some dublin core
05:30 and some whatever else
05:31 dcook So that it's outputting meaningful standard-based metadata?
05:33 I still wonder a bit about the concept of discovery though
05:33 What do people want to know?
05:34 I was intrigued by VPL's use of Bibliocommons, but I've usually used the opac for targetted searches rather than discovery..
05:34 * dcook tends to trawl bookstores and comic shops for that
05:34 dcook I suppose those are two slightly different ideas about discovery though
05:41 rangi yeah
05:41 what the discovery interfaces seem to do
05:42 is try to do some (not federated .. that would be sensible) kinda union search
05:42 over the catalogue and databases
05:43 dcook Mmm
05:43 They seem to also pick out a lot more of the fixed field data than traditional OPACs
05:43 So they give more options for language, audience, media type, etc
05:44 Some of the things that RDA is irrelevantly expanding into other fields..
05:44 They seemingly do facets well
05:44 Cataloguers seem to hate them though.
05:48 I suppose that goes back to what you were saying before mentioning the talk :p

09:02 koha 3.8 btw
09:03 cait checked your notice templates?

09:08 can you share your notice tempateß

15:07 oleonard jcamins around again yet?
15:42 jcamins Just got in.
15:42 Well, actually, I've been here about twenty minutes, but I had to fix my client's LAN.
15:43 ... you can't download an old version of Firefox for an old computer?
15:44 oleonard You mean you couldn't find the older version to download?
15:44 jcamins I didn't look yet.
15:44 But the FF front page says "Your system doesn't meet the requirements for Firefox! Ha!"
15:45 I generally expect to be told "Your system doesn't meet the requirements for the current version. Please consider $AncientVersion."
15:45 oleonard I seem to recall jumping through hoops to find a 3.6.x version to test on
15:45 jwagner jcamins, yes, there are sites for old versions.  See http://www.oldversion.com/wind[…]/mozilla-firefox/ for one
15:46 also https://support.mozilla.org/en[…]ersion-of-firefox
15:46 jcamins Ah-ha!
15:46 Thanks!
15:47 For the record, I still maintain it is poor user experience to not direct the user to 3.6.28 right away.
15:48 oleonard I assume it's because they don't fix security problems in older versions?
15:48 jcamins Well, sure, but people aren't going to go out and buy a new computer just to run Firefox.
15:49 oleonard Heh, in the options for "Firefox no longer works with some versions of Windows XP," they suggest "Download Opera"

15:50 slef I saw someone complaining that Mozilla were refusing to implement new standards until one of ( Opera, Microsoft, Google ) did, but I've not checked that.
15:51 rambutan I have the vague, uncomfortable feeling the FF is becoming more MS-centric. Maybe just me, however, and that's not the case.
15:51 s/the/that
15:51 jwagner FF used to be a nice slim functional browser.  The last several versions it's gotten more and more bloated, and changes functionality for no good reason.
15:53 rambutan That was certainly the case with the old Mozilla suite, but after FF kinda went out on it's own it was better for a while, but now its got feature creep again.
15:53 jcamins Anyway, what can I do for you, oleonard?
15:54 oleonard jcamins: I have a revised patch for Bug 9445. Can I set it back to needs signoff or would you rather it get a new signoff?

15:55 oleonard Thanks
15:56 It's easy to say that FF has feature creep, but what are the features in the creep? It doesn't seem like it's got new bells and whistles
15:58 * jcamins will let you know how Koha works in FF 3.6.28.
16:00 oleonard although I have to say I haven't been much interested in looking at FF's new developer tools, being accustomed to Firebug
16:02 I tested the new Bootstrap stuff in 3.6.28
16:02 rambutan Features: (1) sync w/ mobile devices (2) password manager (3) pop-up blocker (4) form auto-complete (5) Location-Aware Browsing
16:02 Not saying these aren't good features, just that FF has been adding stuff.
16:03 oleonard The only thing on that list that's new is 1) and 5)
16:03 rambutan I still prefer Konqueror when I want split screens, that's immensely cool to me

16:09 slef well they don't mention MARC formats at all
16:09 opinions?
16:11 jcamins Yes... I thought I already failed that patch.
16:11 It regenerates koha-biblio-indexdefs.xml.
16:11 Or biblio-koha-indexefs
16:11 Or whatever it's called.
16:12 Oh, I thought you asked for "thoughts."
16:13 slef huh?
16:13 I did
16:14 I'm currently working on something else, then may return to that
16:15 jcamins You asked for "opinions," which that wasn't really.
16:15 slef heh, true, but close enough!
16:15 jcamins But oh well.

16:17 jcamins slef: a friend of mine bought cookies from me for BTC.

16:22 And I question the fix anyway, since it doesn't address whatever the actual issue is.
16:23 cait why would i use unimarc? :)
16:23 you asked me htat before :) germany has adopted marc21 and was using a german data format mab/mab2 before
16:23 ok, intenet at the hotel is not better than on the train
16:24 slef jcamins: etc/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/bi​blios/biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml is patched. I don't see it being regenerated, although some of the patching is intriguing.
16:24 jcamins slef: it's regenerated. See the comments?
16:24 And we have to conclude that the problem is not a missing "any" for barcode, since keyword searching is working in most other fields, right?
16:24 asaurat left #koha
16:25 slef jcamins: yeah, those comment changes are the intriguing bit, but I don't know if it's just updates to reflect record.abs

16:42 jcamins rambutan: I use MariaDB.
16:42 MongoDB is something else entirely.
16:42 maximep mongodb is a completly different db
16:42 rambutan jcamins: you use mariadb for Koha now?
16:42 jcamins Yup.
16:42 Not in production.
16:42 maximep jcamins: is mariadb really worth it if you dont use any of its extra features ?
16:43 jcamins maximep: I'm striking a blow for freedom everywhere?
16:43 rambutan I think the issue is freedom as much as features
16:43 jcamins :P
16:43 maximep ah
16:43 right
16:43 jcamins But I don't think it makes much of a difference.
16:43 There may be an issue with deleting things in MariaDB.
16:43 But then again, there may just be an issue with deleting things under Plack.
16:43 maximep yeah, i think much of the perf updates are in mysql 5.6
16:43 jcamins It's hard to tell.
16:44 maximep hmmm we really have to spend time trying Plack for our intranets
16:44 jcamins It works great, except when it doesn't, which is often.
16:44 maximep but I guess you have to update to latest 3.10 for it
16:44 ?
16:45 jcamins I wouldn't use it in production for the intranet.

16:49 slef I should use MariaDB it's more free.
16:49 I need more time to test it, though.
16:49 Same old question: What are the priorities?
16:49 jcamins Probably not MariaDB.

17:10 bag we should list everyone names on sign-off'er ;)
17:10 jcamins Or RMaint for 3.12.
17:10 Or you could do QA.
17:10 Or packaging.
17:11 Or work on live CDs/DVDs.
17:11 Or RM!!!!
17:11 cait ok, that seems like a good moment to leave ;)
17:11 bye all
17:11 jcamins Or documentation.
17:11 wahanui documentation is at http://koha-community.org/documentation/
17:11 cait left #koha
17:11 jcamins ^^ that was cait volunteering to be RM
17:13 oleonard There's gotta be a way we can rope jcamins into being RM or an RMaint...
17:13 jcamins oleonard: not likely, sorry.
17:15 tcohen mmm rmaint is a lot of resposability!
17:15 jcamins It is, but it's also kind of fun. :)
17:16 tcohen i arrived late for 3.8.x, that would be easier as we actually use it
17:16 anyway, out for lunch :-D
17:17 jcamins You could switch to 3.12! :P
17:22 slef Same old question: What are the priorities?
17:22 that and I nuked our koha-community budget :-/
17:23 jcamins slef: hiring an RM would be rather dear compared to a conference, I think.
17:25 slef jcamins: any idea how many hours you spent RMing on top of what you would have spent anyway?
17:26 jcamins slef: I don't know, but I could probably figure it out.
17:26 slef my last figures are what, 7 releases ago?
17:26 and that was RMaint
17:26 jcamins: I suspect it would be useful info, help to avoid getting a lame-duck RM.
17:27 jcamins: you seem to have kept on top of it pretty well so far, but the next 6 weeks are the tricky bit.
17:27 sweil joined #koha
17:27 jcamins Yeah, now is when it goes from "too much" to "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh."
17:30 laurence left #koha
17:30 jcamins I'd say on the weeks when I don't do much, it's about 10 hours more than I would've spent if I weren't RM.
17:33 oleonard And the project is the better for it.
17:33 jcamins++
17:33 slef so 0.28 Full-Time Equivalent
17:33 jcamins Minimum.
17:33 slef but that's minimum
17:33 snap
17:34 jcamins Yup.
17:34 slef do you log your time?
17:34 jcamins I log my time for everything other than RM duties.
17:34 slef might be interesting to quantify aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh
17:34 jcamins Yeah.
17:34 I'll start doing that as of now, though, since it's a good point.
17:35 slef I can mail you a perl time-logger if you like, but you probably have your own tools.
17:35 jcamins I use an online system so that I can tap a large red button on my phone when I start things.
17:37 slef the perl one is hooked up to ours. I don't use it. I use emacs (surprise, huh?) except when travelling. What's yours, if it's FOSS?
17:38 jcamins I actually paid for a subscription to Harvest.
17:39 I tried a couple of FOSS systems first, but none of them were as streamlined, and a time logger is useless if it's too much trouble to remember to use it.
17:44 Though I've been using OpenERP for other things and liking it, so I may try and figure out a streamlined interface to its time tracking.
17:53 slef Yeah, we're building our FOSS system up at the moment.
17:54 We didn't get on with OpenERP or Tryton, and having more members than FTE workers means that most subscription services quickly become uneconomic for us.
17:54 jcamins When I decided to go with Harvest I had several projects that I billed in 6-minute increments which I switched between frequently, so I just needed something immediately.

18:26 tcohen oleonard, do we have a function to set the language in the cookie?
18:26 nengard joined #koha
18:26 oleonard I don't know about that tcohen, sorry.
18:27 tcohen i've managed to set the language using URL parameters
18:27 but didn't find a proper way to make it persistent setting the cookies
18:27 jcamins tcohen: take a look at how opac-changelanguage.pl does it.
18:28 Lunch time!
18:29 rangi C4::Templates::setlanguagecookie
18:30 Topic for #koha is now Happy Birthday Katrin
18:35 tcohen rangi, thanks, I saw it, but it does a redirect also, and I'm not sure how to have to cookie object at that level
18:38 jcamins tcohen: probably you could just tell it to redirect to the page you wanted to go to in the first place?
18:49 tcohen i'l think about it, maybe a no-redirectio version would be the best
18:51 jcamins, done
18:51 jcamins Yay!
19:10 rambutan joined #koha
19:16 tcohen is there something about koha design patterns on the wiki?
19:17 jcamins Not to my knowledge.
20:00 tcohen bye #koha, have a nice weekend every1
20:16 oleonard jcamins: Bug 9663 says "Pushed" but I don't think it was
20:16 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9663 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Pushed to Master , Individual bibliographic record "Save" option requires export permission
20:16 jcamins Looks pushed to me.
20:18 Yup, commit 204a35f889b917c85dd8da716c67fe87657b5b98
20:19 oleonard Okay, must be a problem on my branch. Thanks for checking
20:25 I don't understand where we are with Bug 9456
20:25 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9456 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Failed QA , Add callnumber column to the cart
20:25 jcamins I objected to the fact that before the patch I could figure out what library an item was at, and after the patch I could not.
20:26 oleonard My patch is passed QA, but so is a patch that undoes the changes my patch made?
20:27 jcamins I think the follow-up was supposed to eliminate the table, which we're trying to avoid using for layout?
20:27 That was what I got out of the discussion.
20:28 I had understood that the appearance was the same both with and without the follow-up.
20:28 I did not check.
20:28 If the original patch adds something useful and leaves the screen readable, I could push it.
20:29 I did not look at the two patches separately.
20:29 I mean, I reviewed the code for both patches, but not the result.
20:30 Or started reviewing before I realized that I wasn't going to push it no matter what.
20:31 oleonard Unfortunately looking at it now I think git's auto-merge breaks the table-sorting in my patch
20:32 jcamins Ah.
20:40 rambutan joined #koha
21:05 oleonard I've attached a rebased patch to 9456, FWIW. khall and I differ about the best way to approach it.
21:06 jcamins I am going to go with whichever patch results in improvements we can use without causing any regressions.
21:14 oleonard Have a good weekend #koha
21:20 cait joined #koha

21:21 * cait wonders who is to blame for the motd
21:21 jcamins Happy birthday!
21:21 * jcamins throws confetti.

21:25 cait hm it's too early jcamins :)
21:25 only 22:25 here :) but I appreaciate the thought :)
21:25 jcamins Oh.
21:36 cait well... becasue you are not in nz
21:36 timzones are confusing
21:36 jcamins They are.
21:37 * cait nods
21:41 cjh #koha birthday party for cait \o/
21:41 cait lol
21:41 :)
21:42 I decided to change the versioning with this birthday.... it will be "katrin release cookie dough icecream" maybe
21:42 jcamins Hehe.
21:42 I like this idea.
21:42 cait :D
21:46 Jlozano joined #koha
21:46 Jlozano hi, all.
21:46 jcamins Hello.
21:47 Jlozano first time here, how goes it?
21:48 jcamins If you're asking how #koha works, you can just ask the question that brought you here.
21:48 Jlozano well, actually I got it running, everything is working.  I was just trying to get to know some people in case I have questions.
21:48 jcamins If you mean, how goes it in a conversational sense, I am currently cataloging a volume containing 12 different works, so I expect I'm about to be frustrated. ;)
21:49 And please feel free to ignore some of the extraneous commas in that sentence.
21:49 logbot joined #koha
21:50 Jlozano I got the server installed a couple of days ago, deleted the sample libraries, added some patrons... life is good.  I'm not gonna push it until next week
21:50 jcamins Excellent!
21:50 What kind of library do you have?
21:50 cait and which vresion did you install? :)
21:51 jcamins That's also a good question.
21:51 Jlozano well, we have Sirsi Dynex and I'm exploring how we can get from under that bill.
21:51 it's our university library.
21:51 about 80K items.
21:51 cait oh, where are you located? :)
21:51 Jlozano Charlotte, NC Queens University of Charlotte.
21:51 Installed v 3.8
21:52 tried 3.10 but wouln't install.
21:52 cait and I was wondering about the koha version because there is sometimes some confusion about the different versions - so best to make sure you get it right :)
21:52 Jlozano something about pearl, blah, blah, blah.
21:53 jcamins Really? Hm. It should install smoothly.
21:53 Jlozano I have two instances, I have one on Amazon AWS and I bought a Linode server for the month.
21:53 rangi did you use the packages or the tarball?
21:53 Jlozano pkgs.
21:54 followed the "Koha in 11 mins" youtube video.
21:54 rangi never heard of that
21:54 jcamins Nor have I.
21:54 Jlozano yeah, youtube, a dude at AppState university did it.
21:54 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze
21:54 Jlozano http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRbyePlN-QY
21:55 jcamins I guess someone should probably watch it, confirm that it's correct.
21:55 Jlozano It got me up and running.
21:55 cait my internet connection si not stable enough...
21:55 * jcamins isn't at home.
21:55 rangi if it follows that wiki page, it will be ok
21:56 jcamins I guess the fact that Jlozano didn't have any problems suggests that it does.
21:56 Jlozano It does, however it does begin on how go get the server, and devian version ETC.
21:56 and shows you how you can essentially get a free server for a year on AWS Amazon.
21:57 jcamins Most people who try to follow a set of instructions that aren't the same as the recommended ones end up on #koha asking for help unbreaking their installation. :)
21:57 Jlozano 750 hrs a month anyway, which is convenient, because that's how many hours there are in a month.
21:57 jcamins Hehe.
21:57 rangi hmm 3.10.03 installed ok just now for me .. if you get a chance to try again sometime if you could document exactly the error you get that would be good
21:58 Jlozano yeah, when I do a production run on it, I will, right now it's just research on the system.
21:58 I haven't even tried to put in a volume.
21:58 cait 38 has not the same feature set as 3.10 :)
21:58 koha is moving quite fast between versions
21:59 Jlozano The basic error was that it didn't get past dependency check pearl not installed and nothing happened.
21:59 * jcamins would guess it was the dependency on digest-jhash, which we removed from the dependency list since it didn't play nicely with multiarch systems.
22:00 Jlozano how long ago? I wonder if I should try again.
22:01 What would you say it's the main reason to be on .10 v .8?
22:01 jcamins Um, it was removed yesterday.
22:02 cait many people still run older versions - but maybe take a look at rlease notes sometime
22:02 jcamins I use 3.6.x in production.
22:03 cait yep we do that too
22:03 jcamins We've been talking about upgrading to 3.8.x.
22:03 But I keep on getting gun-shy when it's time to pull the trigger.
22:03 cait but if you plan a migration it#s most often a longer timeframe I was thinking
22:04 Jlozano well, I might be image and install 3.10 if that dependency thing is not a problem anymore.
22:04 * reimage I mean.

22:06 cait yep

22:06 drojf ok :)
22:06 cait :)
22:08 Jlozano Anybody ever talk to anyone from bywater? are the ever on here?
22:08 drojf which anyone would you like? ;)
22:08 jcamins bag: around?
22:09 cait Jlozano: they are around quite a bit
22:09 melia: around?
22:09 jcamins NateC: around?
22:09 melia yep I'm here
22:09 jcamins ^^ there you go. Someone from ByWater.
22:09 NateC Im hea
22:09 jcamins ^^ and another
22:09 cait and another one
22:09 drojf heh
22:09 NateC jlozano: we are always here :)
22:10 bag hey
22:10 Jlozano ah, nice!
22:11 jcamins (bag = Brendan Gallagher, NateC = Nate Curulla, and melia = Melia Meggs)
22:12 NateC jlozano: you have the two owners and the COO at your service!
22:12 Jlozano I think I talked with someone from there but it was some time ago.
22:12 wow.
22:13 You guys are the real deal I guess.
22:13 NateC heh
22:13 drojf only important people on #koha. important people and me.
22:13 rangi heh
22:13 drojf i. myself. whatever. late
22:14 jcamins drojf: "me" was okay there. "I" is considered to sound overly stuffy.
22:14 cait lol
22:14 * cait hands drojf cookies
22:14 cait now exactly how you feel
22:14 drojf cookies \o/
22:14 cait know
22:14 ...
22:15 drojf lol
22:15 jcamins Jlozano: you'll find that the denizens of #koha include some rather impressive individuals. rangi was the original author of the first version of Koha, and cait is the Quality Assurance Manager for the project.
22:16 cait um.
22:16 * cait goes into hiding
22:16 rangi and jcamins is the 3.12 release manager
22:16 Jlozano wow, it's nice to know everyone is still involved.  So many people bail on projects.
22:17 jcamins I have a puzzle for you: who files "De Bie" under *B*?
22:17 cait hm
22:17 jcamins ("De Bie" being a last name)
22:18 cait if it was afrench lastname it would be correct
22:18 Jlozano oh, that would be me.
22:18 cait but i have no idea what it is
22:18 jcamins Jlozano: hehe.
22:18 cait at least it would be in rak
22:18 Jlozano: koha is quite international too :)
22:18 so almost always someone is here.. except for weekends
22:19 then it's a bit more quiet and I have to talk to myself most of the time
22:19 melia ha!
22:19 jcamins cait: it's possible he's German.
22:19 De Bie, that is.
22:19 Jlozano that's awesome!
22:19 jcamins However, he is definitely "De Bie" not "de Bie."
22:20 Jlozano Hey anybody know a free dewey generator?
22:20 cait De Bie doens't look german to me, drojf?
22:20 jcamins cait: no, not at all German.
22:21 Hence the reason I think that "de" is probably not an article that can be stuck at the end.
22:21 (that is, he was German, the name is not)
22:21 cait well
22:21 it would be french
22:21 rangi Jlozano: i think the copyright (or is it patent) on dewey would stop that
22:21 cait not german for the article I think
22:22 jcamins Really? That's definitely not the way it works in AACR2.
22:22 rangi trademark
22:22 jcamins You go based on where people would actually look for a person.
22:22 cait i mean de something is more a french last name than a german one
22:22 rangi gah oclc you clowns
22:22 http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/20031124.htm
22:22 cait jcamins: I forgot the exact rle for that... and they changed some stuff for gnd I guess
22:23 jcamins cait: anyway, my point is, De Bie should be filed under D with all his relatives.
22:23 (Debie)
22:24 Jlozano: as you may have gathered, I am also a cataloger, and right now I am using my least favorite bibliography ever.
22:24 drojf looks dutch to me
22:24 de bie i mean
22:25 jcamins drojf: that may be. But if his son (brother? nephew?) is filed under "Debie," he should be too.
22:25 rangi what does viaf say
22:25 Jlozano jcamins: hate that stuff.
22:26 jcamins rangi: it agrees with me.
22:26 Jlozano ok, all, nice to meet everyone, but it's way past 5 on a friday... see you all later.
22:26 cait Jlozano: what I wanted to say earlier - jcamins is in new york, drojf and me are from germany and rangi is nz :)
22:26 Jlozano ahhh. internationall indeed.
22:26 jcamins Ooh, you're right, cait. DNB does it wrong!
22:26 rangi its 11.26 am on saturday actually
22:26 ;)
22:26 cait nooo
22:26 23:26 on friday
22:27 jcamins I have to agree with Jlozano.
22:28 rangi we should use more marc

22:52 cait :)
22:52 bag yeah first time for everything right (HA :P )
22:53 I vote that jcamins hosts a kohacon or maybe a NY hackfest - so we can go to a mets game (but then also guessing jcamins isn't a baseball fan)
22:54 jcamins I enjoyed minor league games.
22:54 Major league I found incredibly dull.
22:55 bag ahhh  jcamins my opinion of you just increased 100 fold!
22:55 jcamins++
22:56 (and in no way was I saying it was bad - just saying it's much better now :) )

22:56 rangi ive only ever been to one game
22:56 and that was at kohacon09
22:58 bag rangi knew way more about baseball than I ever knew about cricket (but that has changed) and knew why more than schuster and paul_p combined

22:58 drojf i'm not going to say that i have no idea how these things work

23:01 cait heh I will tcohen :)
23:02 bag it's really interesting to watch the small little things that happen on each pitch (it's a mind game more than crazy endurance)
