12:40 IrmaCalyx hi #koha
12:45 paul_p hello IrmaCalyx
12:53 IrmaCalyx Hi Paul. How are you settling back in after the KohaCon week?
12:54 IrmaCalyx Busy?
12:55 IrmaCalyx I had a question today about "floating collections". Do your libraries require/use this feature?
13:01 paul_p IrmaCalyx: the kohaCon is quite old already. I was last week in Montauban.
13:01 paul_p what is floating collections ?
13:02 IrmaCalyx It's when an item does not belong to a particular branch in a multiple branch library syste. The item is borrowed from on e library and when returned to another one stays at that branch.
13:03 IrmaCalyx until borrowed again or requested from another branch.
13:04 IrmaCalyx It's a way of saving transfer costs.
13:04 IrmaCalyx What is it called in French?
13:07 IrmaCalyx Montauban...dans le departement de Tarn et Garonne - A public library?
13:10 paul_p IrmaCalyx: yep, it's the public library.
13:11 paul_p IrmaCalyx: I never encountered this in france.
13:11 IrmaCalyx Just looked up some painting from Jean Ingres born in Montauban (1755-1814)...
13:12 paul_p yep.
13:12 paul_p the library is just near the Ingres museum
13:12 IrmaCalyx It's a new Collections Management idea here too but it is becoming popular as only transfer expenses are incurred for items requested by library patrons.
13:14 IrmaCalyx One year already since our trip to your continent! Nice hospitality is easy to remember :-)
13:15 paul_p makes sense though. I think "real networks" could be interested by that. But I think it's quite a library 3.0 feature ;-)
13:15 gmcharlt fair number of US public libraries do floating collections, or want to
13:17 IrmaCalyx A library of significance in Sydney is requesting it. Any US library using Koha has added this feature?
13:18 gmcharlt at least one is doing it, more or less, with the branch transfer limits that Kyle hall added
13:20 IrmaCalyx Great...Will do some searching on prior postings or emails and check it out!
13:20 IrmaCalyx May I ask about acquisition?
13:23 IrmaCalyx Might be easier if I ask for a link to some info re the recently designed Acquisition Module and it's features
13:24 IrmaCalyx Will it support Electronic ordering and invoicing?
13:25 gmcharlt IrmaCalyx: not to answer for paul_p, but have you read through all of the acq RFCs on http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2
13:25 IrmaCalyx Hi Galen - How are you doing?
13:25 paul_p IrmaCalyx: nope, it won't support EDI yet.
13:26 paul_p slef told us he has something about that
13:26 gmcharlt IrmaCalyx: reasonably OK, but ill today
13:26 IrmaCalyx Ok thank you both for the info.
13:27 IrmaCalyx Galen...a common flu only ...I hope!
13:27 gmcharlt I'm not oinking yet ;)
13:27 IrmaCalyx That's a relief!
13:35 jwagner Good morning all. Has anyone done any work with allowing an automated login? That is, feeding an ID and password to the OPAC under the hood? I'm looking into ways to do this.
13:36 IrmaCalyx Galen... Hope U feel better soon. Paul...thanks for the chat and info. Bonsoir.
15:07 atz bignose-work: i thought of a quick hack-around for loading users w/ staff (or any other) access
15:09 atz basically set userflags.defaulton=1 for the permissions you want to be applied, then do the load for those users, then set userflags back the way it was
15:10 atz might even be able to short cirtuit that and not touch DB
15:15 atz jwagner: you might look at certificate authentication at the Apache level, would need to add hooks in C4::Auth to pull values from that
15:32 jwagner Sorry, atz, been off in a meeting. We'll look at that. Thanks!
15:33 atz that's the kind of thing the defense contractor types in your area get into, also
15:35 jwagner Actually, the particular need I'm looking at is the web-based self-check. We have one site that wants it available from multiple PCs without the need for a manual login. I'm experimenting with some sysprefs to store the self-check ID & password, then pull those values & do a login for the web self-check.
15:35 atz certificates would a good fix for that
15:36 jwagner Worth investigating that option. Thanks.

18:39 schuster Question about show processlist in mysql
18:39 schuster I've been running this throughout the day and things have been clicking right along.
18:39 schuster all of a sudden here about 1:30 - I see a BUNCH of | 4413243 | pisdadmin | localhost | koha_pisd | Query | 0 | closing tables | REPLACE INTO sessions (id, a_session) VALUES('0fc609e3ca18358e97f299d880e827b7', '--- \n_SESSION_ATI |
18:39 schuster REPLACE INTO sessions statements... what is that?
18:44 chris looks like someone logging in or out is my guess
18:45 chris one hell of a thunderstorm going on here, so i may disappear at any time
18:46 schuster Had our rain on Saturday! Rained out the Rough Riders... Thanks for the hint... Now I have something else to look into.
19:02 schuster At the same time I start getting these statements - SELECT a_session FROM sessions WHERE id='00bcd3c19290e05fdb5ecf81caed5da8' |
19:02 schuster So is that someone left a workstation say for lunch came back and the system is re-connecting to the session?
19:03 schuster I have my timeout set to the default... - but about 1:30 we have a slowdown - when a bunch of people probably start circulating again after lunch
20:24 chris that sounds entirely plausible schuster
20:31 richard morning

08:15 chris drive by
08:19 chris hi paul
08:25 hdl_laptop1 hi chris
08:30 chris hi hdl_laptop1
08:50 slef hi all. I'm alive.
08:55 chris heya slef
08:57 chris 10 hours until the meeting :)
09:02 slef oh. I was 12 hours and got daylight savings time wrong.
09:25 mason interesting read... -> http://nymag.com/news/business/55687/
10:01 gmcharlt greetings
10:05 chris awake early gmcharlt
10:05 gmcharlt yep
10:06 gmcharlt you planning to sleep between now and the meeting, I hope?
10:06 chris yep :)
10:07 chris heh
10:18 chris i was actually thinking prolog
10:19 chris you could really simplify the circulation matrix :)
10:20 gmcharlt heh
10:31 nahuel chris, hey ! A friend of mine is the child of one of the 2 creators of prolog
10:31 nahuel (from marseille !)
10:32 chris very cool, it was one of my more fun classes at university
10:32 nahuel hehe well never wrote a line of prolog
10:32 nahuel anyway it's lunchtime
10:32 nahuel bbl
10:40 Amit hi nahuel
10:54 slef http://www.songworm.com/db/songworm-parody/EternalFlame.html
11:00 slef erm, when did wiki.koha.org become non-commercial? That's a PITA
11:02 slef slef: seems like 2006 with the move to dokuwiki
11:33 gmcharlt slef: I'd support changing it to CC-BY-SA or CC-BY
11:35 gmcharlt I haven't checked the archives yet, but was BY-NC-SA perhaps just a dokuwiki default setting? or was there an explicit discussion about the license?
11:35 paul_p hi gmcharlt. afaik, no discussion about the license
11:37 gmcharlt if we change it, would it be like relicensing software in that we'd have to get everybody who ever contributed to the wiki to change it?
11:37 gmcharlt that is, to agree to the new license?
11:37 paul_p gmcharlt: I think so
11:39 gmcharlt one model for doing this: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update
11:46 slef I think we could only clear the last three years (= dokuwiki registered users) because before that it was implicitly free-for-all
11:48 slef I assume you can get dokuwiki to spit out a list of users and emails but I can't see how to do it.
11:48 gmcharlt slef: yes
11:48 gmcharlt all registered users or only those who actually made edits?
11:49 gmcharlt there are two overlapping constituencies
11:50 slef only those who actually made edits I guess
11:50 slef and non-Minor at that
11:50 gmcharlt I'll see if I can get it to spit out the number of lines or bytes changed by each user
11:51 slef gmcharlt: while you're here, two questions: what's wiki.koha.org's equivalent of wikipedia's {{citation_needed}}? and how do I tag a bug on bugs.koha.org as haspatch?
11:52 gmcharlt haspatch = priority is PATCH-Sent
11:52 slef aha
11:52 gmcharlt don't think wiki.koha.org has equiv of {{citation_needed}}
11:53 slef ok, thought it was just me being dense
11:54 slef I may make a CitationNeeded page one day
11:54 gmcharlt out of curiosity, what have you found that needs it?
11:54 slef I updated the agenda wiki page for tonight. http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=meetingnotes09apr07
11:55 slef gmcharlt: nothing yet, but sometimes links are missing like on that agenda
11:55 slef "summary of proposals" is an example
11:59 slef OK if I send a meeting reminder?
11:59 slef (there hasn't been one recently has there?)
