00:04 owen           Is everyone done being pissed off or can I join in?
00:05 * chris_n      growls
00:05 owen           PTFS--
00:06 owen           Liblime--
00:06 owen           LEK--
00:06 owen           Joann++
00:09 nengard        owen - not so much pissed off - as I am frustrated that no matter how hard we try we cna't seem to teach them what open source really means
00:09 nengard        I'm with you though
00:10 nengard        Joann++
00:10 nengard        HLT++
00:10 owen           I'd feel better if they were just stubbornly evil. Now they think they need to go on the record as insulting HLT andthe Koha community
00:11 owen           It's a shame Josh isn't sticking with Liblime and PTFS, they're made for each other.
00:15 nengard        LOL @owen
00:16 rhcl           Josh I and now Josh II
00:17 Joann          Can someone make a change to the event calender please on koha-community.org
00:17 Joann          need to add in 5th may 1900 UTC Koha Dev meeting
00:17 nengard        sure - how?
00:17 chris          you make a post
00:17 Joann          I don't know how
00:17 nengard        Want me to teach you?
00:17 chris          and set the date
00:17 Joann          yes please
00:18 chris          and it magically shows up
00:18 chris          tis cool
00:18 Joann          ok - we'll i login first
00:18 Joann          then site admin
00:18 nengard        then 'add new' under post
00:18 Joann          quick press or a real post?
00:18 nengard        real post
00:18 Joann          ok
00:19 nengard        at the very bottom of your screen is an events area - click the plus sign
00:19 nengard        to add the event - but make sure you write something in your post as well :)
00:19 Joann          just in the heading or body or both
00:20 owen           chris_n++ # for a nice response on the list
00:20 * owen         is still trying to decide if he can respond without using inappropriate language
00:20 gmcharlt       owen: good reason to sleep on it
00:21 Joann          WE sat on it for hours and hours and hours while Galen was sleeping :)
00:21 chris          wb Nate
00:21 gmcharlt       Joann: I'll just have to send you a remote control for my alarm clock :)
00:21 Nate           hiya chris, everyone
00:21 chris          owen: yeah im in the same boat as you gonna sleep on it
00:24 Joann          Galen: that would be grand :)
00:24 Joann          Nicole - I did it butbadly I fear
00:25 reed           chris_n++ as above
00:28 nengard        had to look up "Ipse dixit."
00:28 nengard        :)
00:29 nengard        chris_n++
00:29 nengard        that was awesome
00:29 nengard        Joann, I'll go check it
00:29 nengard        Joann - I don't see it - did you delete it?
00:30 nengard        sorry I didn't answer you before - you need a title and a body
00:30 Joann          yep - had to - it was awful
00:30 Joann          off for food
00:31 nengard        here's an example from me: http://koha-community.org/april-2010-monthly-general-irc-meeting/
00:31 nengard        I can do the post for you - but I want to empower you to be able to do it yourself :)
00:32 chris_n        tnx, I hoped to say things well
00:32 nengard        you did very well and kept emotion out of it and stuck to facts
00:33 mason          well done everyone :)
00:33 nengard        What is most frustrating to me - as an educator - is that no matter how hard we all try we can't seem to make them understand what open source is and how it works - it's so easy to understand if you just open your mind up a little bit and listen
00:34 nengard        I like to think I can teach anyone - but I see now that sometimes I have to just let it go
00:34 mason          yeah, i think so nicole..
00:35 chris_n        nengard: what is the correct format for adding a gmail account as an openid in wordpress?
00:35 nengard        chris_n .... um .... have never done it .... :(
00:36 nengard        wizzyrea is probably the one to ask
00:40 chris_n        found it: https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
00:40 chris_n        enter that url into the openid box
01:10 lee            liz
01:10 lee            you around?
01:14 chris          hiya lee
01:14 chris          i think she isnt
01:17 slef           urgh - why am I awake?
01:17 chilts         caffeine?
01:17 richard        it's that kind of a day
01:18 slef           I think the universe just woke me to reply to that email.
01:20 lee            sorry guys
01:20 lee            I was looking for some feed back from Liz about the PTFS deal
01:21 lee            did they cancel their LL contract?
01:22 nengard        lee not that we know of
01:22 lee            ah
01:22 lee            we had been talking about what the next disaster would be guess we know
01:23 lee            Oh by the way I don't care who reads what I say
01:23 chris          lee: its a disaster for ptfs and their clients
01:23 chris          its a relief for the rest of us
01:23 lee            agreed
01:23 lee            esp. the LEKers
01:23 chris          its finally over, and we can stop worrying about it
01:23 slef           chris: was the conference call ever scheduled?
01:24 lee            excellent
01:24 larsw          newbie here... what is LEK?
01:24 slef           http://koha-community.org/hlt-koha-committee-report-on-discussions-with-ptfs/ reads like it wasn't.
01:24 slef           larsw: LibLime's Enterprise Koha
01:24 larsw          ah, ack
01:24 slef           larsw: aka LL's E&E'd Koha
01:24 lee            but i wonder if they will take Koha code and create the next freakinstien
01:24 chris          its now PTFS Fully managed solution
01:25 chris          i think is the rebrand
01:25 slef           lee: I smell an Archivalware merger attempt, what about you?
01:25 lee            *gagging*
01:25 lee            yea
01:25 lee            that makes sense
01:25 lee            Koha is just a vehicle for their archievelware
01:26 lee            did I just type arch evil?
01:26 chris          slef: the agenda was not agreed on, it was tentatively scheduled, certainly not confirmed by everyone on the committee
01:27 chris          as it was being negotiated the wiki edits came along too, which didnt help
01:27 chilts         I find that with everything going on with LL/PTFS, my willingness to participate in the community is stronger ... hopefully I'll have a play (finally) and send in some patches :)
01:27 chris          slef: i think we stated the facts fairly succintly in the report
01:27 * chilts       has to stop talking about it and do
01:28 nengard        chilts that is awesome
01:28 nengard        okay all - it's time for me to head to bed - won't be around tomorrow -giving a Koha lecture and then teaching Mashups to libararians - see you all next week (or maybe over the weekend some)
01:28 chris_n        slef: aren't you close to gmt?
01:29 slef           chris_n: +0100, yes. 0230 here.
01:29 chris_n        ouch
01:29 * chris_n      hands slef coffee
01:29 lee            chris_n do you have a link to your response? to PTFS
01:29 slef           I think that would be a baaad move
01:29 chris_n        lee: om
01:30 lee            nicole said it was gooooood
01:30 chris_n        lee: http://old.nabble.com/LibLime-Thoughts-to28406334.html
01:31 lee            my banner ad is for Auckland hotel Mercure....crazy how do they know???
01:31 lee            chris_n :)
01:31 chris          hehe
01:31 chris_n        lol
01:32 lee            reading....link
01:34 lee            It seems clear from this statement that PTFS views itself as somehow on a plane of equality with the Koha community
01:34 chilts         if not higher (and very untrue)
01:34 lee            ah Chris_n
01:34 lee            nice
01:34 lee            thank you
01:34 lee            well stated
01:35 lee            yeah boyos get in line
01:35 lee            behind all our other excellent vendors who actually contribute
01:36 lee            BTW speaking of contributing my library would like to sponser food or drink for the hackfest
01:36 lee            let me know
01:36 chris_n        tnx lee
01:36 chris_n        I must go on record as noting the contribution of both jwager and jdavidb, however
01:37 lee            see you in NZ chris_n?
01:37 chris_n        lee: I would love to, but not this time
01:37 lee            yea... but  they have to do what they have to do
01:37 chris_n        yup
01:37 lee            unlike Galen
01:37 chris          lee that would be fantastic
01:38 lee            they won't be able to play without permission
01:38 lee            chris put me down and we can settle on the details
01:38 chris          if you want to email russel with that info, and then http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/
01:38 chris          is where you can put money straight into the coffers
01:38 gmcharlt       lee: ?
01:38 lee            yea Galen?
01:39 lee            chris I will do that
01:39 chris          thank you
01:39 lee            will I get a sponsership banner?
01:39 chris          yup
01:39 chris          send your logo in the email
01:39 gmcharlt       lee: saw you mention my name, didn't get the context
01:39 lee            i send my graphic to russel/ yea/
01:40 chris          thats the one
01:40 gmcharlt       lee: nm, I see (and also need coffee)
01:40 lee            galen just about jane wagner and the PTFS thingy
01:41 gmcharlt       right
01:41 slef           roflmao http://media.urbandictionary.com/image/page/pwned-39138.jpg
01:41 * gmcharlt     states for the record that he appreciates the contributions of all PTFS employees who have submitted patches
01:41 lee            chris_n was giving her a nod
01:41 lee            yea me too
01:41 chris          me too
01:41 lee            just wonder if they will still play after today
01:42 lee            :/
01:43 lee            guess i should just ask her
01:43 chris_n        lee: I think the greater question is will their employer let them play after today
01:43 lee            :(
01:43 slef           lee: great on sponsorship. software.coop agreed to sponsor some stuff (I still need to write that up) but not refreshments.
01:43 lee            hmmm not feeling the love so much anymore
01:44 lee            NZ pizza and beer for EVERYONE!!!
01:44 gmcharlt       lee++
01:44 * chris_n      hands gmcharlt some coffee he just made
01:45 slef           another question: will those other companies who have loudly announced partnerships with PTFS pull out of them?
01:45 slef           brendan: are you here? ;-)
01:45 lee            thanks for all you do for us lowly librarians Koha is the best thing that has ever happened to my library
01:45 chris          i think bywater is the only one
01:57 slef           chris: I don't watch that closely. It felt like there were more.
02:00 chris_n        heya jdavidb
02:00 jdavidb        howdy, chris_n
02:04 chris          http://lwn.net/Articles/385442/rss
02:05 chris          might be worth looking at
02:05 chris_n        nice
02:06 collum         just caught up on the IRC logs and my email.  Interesting day.  chris_n++
02:06 * chris_n      wishes he could afford ssds
02:07 chris          me too
02:07 * jdavidb      has an ittle bitty ssd in his netbook, but that's it.
02:09 chris_n        I'd imagine that mechanical drives will be obsolete before long
02:10 * gmcharlt     looks forward to the day
02:11 braedon|home1  ... why is everyone talking about ssd today?
02:12 braedon|home1  was just on #xkcd and they were also
02:12 * jdavidb      waddles off to bed.  Busy day tomorrow, need mah beauty rest.
02:13 * collum       is also calling it a night.
02:20 joetho         My 25 lib consortium was an unwitting Liblime customer, now PTFS.
02:21 joetho         Thankfully, we have thus far resisted the siren song of LEK.
02:22 joetho         We are in year 2 of a 5 year contract.
02:22 joetho         Groan.
02:22 chilts         :(
02:23 joetho         Happily, though, I think we will be able to update or 3.0x installation to 3.2 when the time comes.
02:23 joetho         As per the terms of our contract.
02:23 joetho         LEK participation does not appear to be a contractual requirement on our part.
02:24 chris_n        g'night
02:25 joetho         thank you for your earlier listserv post, chris_n.
02:25 joetho         Well served.
02:25 joetho         thank you and goodnight!
02:26 chris          night joetho
02:27 slef           chris: can I suggest lurkers email you?
02:27 slef           well done joetho
02:28 chris          slef: about?
02:28 slef           getting started in the Koha community
02:28 chris          oh certainly
02:28 slef           if they're scared of posting to the list, really
02:29 chris          yep, no problem at all
02:29 slef           I think PTFS's USP is that they talk off-list
02:29 slef           or at least how they present it
02:36 brendan        heya slef
02:36 slef           hi brendan ;-)
02:36 brendan        PTFS did a contract with me in the beginning (I was getting married) but haven't worked with them since then
02:38 brendan        wow lots to read back through
02:39 brendan        too late for the show... but nice to see a lot of git repository hosting messages in my email box gmcharlt++
02:42 slef           brendan: has the contract ended automatically or can you end it?  Feel like a public confetti show?
02:46 chilts         cool, so that stats thing is now on http://git.koha-community.org/stats/ :)
02:47 chris          yep
02:47 slef           ok, bbl
02:47 chris          get some sleep slef ;)
03:25 Amit_G         heya brendan, chris

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

11:34 nengard        so - of course there were a ton of commits last night and today I'm out of the office so I can't work on updating the manual to reflect those changes!!!

11:37 gmcharlt       thanks!
11:44 kmkale         on bugs.koha.org how do I see a list of all open bugs?
11:44 chris          hi paul_p
11:45 chris          kmkale: you have to do a search
11:45 paul_p         hello world !
11:45 paul_p         back from Amsterdam !
11:45 jransom        Hello Paul
11:45 kmkale         chris: oh so i have to know what to search for. :(
11:45 chris          do advanced
11:46 chris          and if you just hit submit there
11:46 chris          without changing anything
11:46 chris          you will get all open ones
11:47 kmkale         OK
11:47 kmkale         Thanks
11:48 kmkale         HEAD 556 bugs found
11:52 chris          sounds plausible
11:53 jransom        is there a particular bug area you are looking for?
11:54 kmkale         no just looking around
11:57 kmkale         whats the correct git command to update dev install to head?
11:58 kmkale         i have only applied the icu patch
11:58 chris          what branch are you on?
11:59 kmkale         umm head? master?
11:59 chris          right
11:59 gmcharlt       git status
11:59 kmkale         havent selected a branch while following the git usage wiki doc
11:59 gmcharlt       will tell you
12:00 chris          if you are on master
12:00 chris          then git fetch
12:00 chris          git rebase origin/master
12:01 kmkale         ok. so when you guys approve a patch where does it go? master? I mean is that THE latest?
12:02 gmcharlt       kmkale: nothing fresher :)
12:02 joetho         http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=Koha&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_severity=blocker&bug_severity=critical&bug_severity=major&bug_severity=normal&bug_severity
12:02 joetho         705 bugs found]
12:02 kmkale         then what about the 3.4 branch?
12:03 kmkale         is it derived from master?
12:03 chris          doesnt exist
12:03 kmkale         or 3.2?
12:04 chris          3.2 is master currently, when its closer to release, it will branch to 3.2.x and master will be for work for 3.4
12:04 kmkale         oh. OK.
12:05 kmkale         so currently we have master and 3.0.x branches right?
12:06 chris          yep
12:06 kmkale         now in a dev install after I do a git fetch and git rebase origin/master do I need to run through the script based install part again?
12:07 chris          nope just the web installer
12:07 kmkale         gr8.
12:10 jransom        3 pages down - and only 5 tiny bugs found !
12:11 jransom        off to bed; taking teenage girls to Wgtn tomorrow. No doubt we'll end up at Te papa ... probly see Chris there with his boys
12:11 chris          :)
12:14 kmkale         i can see 556 bugs in HEAD and 154 in rel_3_2 under advanced search so how are these two different?
12:14 kmkale         Sorry if I am bothering you with stupid questions. I am just trying to understand the structure
12:16 chris          head is kinda meaningless
12:16 chris          its better to file against a version
12:16 kmkale         so for now master = rel_3_2 correct?
12:16 chris          yes
12:17 kmkale         great. enjoy the weekend all. off for a swim..
12:17 kmkale         bye
12:21 owen           Hello #koha
12:23 * owen         catches up on the gossip in the log
12:23 chris          heh
12:24 Nate           morning everyone
12:24 Nate           chris_n, nice post!
12:25 * paul_p       discovers ptfs/ll toughts... (it shows clearly their misunderstandings...)
12:26 paul_p         we really took the right decision when not agreeing to a conf call (ie : it was not "cancelling it"...)
12:26 owen           This morning my worry is that jdavidb and jwagner will be forbidden from participating here
12:26 paul_p         owen, right (i'm afraid...)
12:26 chris          still here so far
12:27 chris          so not yet at least
12:30 jwagner        Nobody is forbidding us anything.  But I don't mind saying that I've been personally hurt by a lot of comments recently and I am increasingly uncomfortable about staying online.
12:31 owen           jwagner: I'm sorry if you've been hurt by any comments here. We're all pretty steamed about the statements coming from your colleagues, but we really appreciate your participation
12:32 owen           jwagner: You and jdavidb represent the best possible way for PTFS to participate and collaborate, and I had high hopes for the future based on that
12:32 * gmcharlt     echoes owen
12:33 * magnus_away  echoes owen too
12:37 * kf           echoes owen too
12:38 * collum       as well.
12:40 kf             I still hope that the problems can be solved.
12:42 * paul_p       echoes owen & send thankfull waves to jwagner & jdavidb . Sincerely
12:49 owen           slef++ # for his LibLime thoughts on the list
12:51 owen           Hi schuster
12:57 schuster       Hello.  Near tears over all this discussion.
12:59 chris          http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2010-April/011253.html  <-- focus on the important thngs, like debian packaging and bug fixing, everythng else is distraction
13:10 gmcharlt       if any users of auth_with_ldap are around, would appreciate a test of the patch just sent for bug 4256
13:10 munin          04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4256 blocker, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, ASSIGNED, C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm replication broken and corrupts data when used without update

13:22 schuster       Thanks magnus...  I dabble but never become proficient in anything!
13:24 magnus         being proficient in munin should probably be one of the less important things in one's life... ;-)
13:24 owen           Not until munin finally learns how to do my taxes
13:24 gmcharlt       owen: that would be $39.95 per return
13:35 * chris_n      will take two at that price :)

14:30 chris_n        nice feature by kyle
14:33 owen           "Surely an NDA is not part of a standard service contract." At least not until now!
14:34 gmcharlt       the very best of cataloging humor - http://twitter.com/FakeRDA
14:40 schuster       NDA is standard for many Proprietary systems...
15:11 paul_p         joanna Hause ++
15:11 paul_p         even if she never comes here !
15:11 * paul_p       would be happy to have more libraries saying what they think...
15:20 chris_n        schuster: an NDA on a customer service agreement and covering comments on QOS?
15:20 * chris_n      owns nearly half of an IT support company and we do nothing of the sort there
15:21 chris_n        owen: what do you think: our librarians would like to see the renewal date (if there is one) displayed on circulation.pl in the checkout tab
15:22 owen           chris_n: Where would you put it?
15:22 chris_n        perhaps between the "checked out on" column and the "call no" column...?
15:23 owen           I think the amount of data we're cramming into that table is becoming really unmanageable
15:23 owen           Would you want just the last renewal date?
15:23 owen           ...because there might be more than one
15:24 chris_n        I think so
15:24 chris_n        is there somewhere else that they can get that info?
15:25 owen           I don't think so
15:25 chris_n        circ history does not show it either
15:25 chris_n        but maybe that is a more appropriate location to have it displayed
15:25 owen           I would love for the circ history page to be more informative and more usable
15:26 owen           Right now it doesn't make much sense to me
15:26 owen           What need would be fulfilled by adding the renewal information? When do your librarians find themselves wanting to know?
15:28 chris_n        there was a patron who contested a fine as having been calculated from the original date of issue
15:28 chris_n        the librarians seem to think that they could better show the patron by knowing the data of renewal
15:29 owen           Based on that use case I'd definitely say a change to the circ history page would be a better solution
15:29 * chris_n      thinks they could just reverse engineer the thing personally :)
15:30 chris_n        but I try to keep them happy even if I cannot anyone else
15:30 nahuel         hi
15:30 nahuel         people :)
15:30 nahuel         any marc21 expert ?

16:51 wizzyrea       owen: you about? I have a not necessarily koha related question for youy
16:51 owen           Present!
16:52 wizzyrea       ok, I'm looking at www.atchisonlibrary.org in IE 7, and the menus are popping behind the headers for the posts
16:52 wizzyrea       and I'm totally clueless as to why
16:52 wizzyrea       >.<
16:52 wizzyrea       don't take more than 5 minutes to look at it, if you have a minute to look at it at all
16:53 wizzyrea       or rather, if you don't have time... no worries
16:53 owen           Of course
16:53 owen           I like the design
16:53 wizzyrea       it's pretty, isn't it?
17:09 jwagner        wizzyrea, for what it's worth, it seems to look OK in IE8
17:10 owen           Looking at Bug 4418
17:10 munin          04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4418 normal, P5, ---, oleonard@myacpl.org, NEW, required patron attributes not red
17:11 owen           "When a patron attribute is required it should be in red like other required fields"
17:11 owen           You can make a patron attribute required?
17:11 * owen         is trying to find it
17:18 magnus_away    owen: BorrowerMandatoryField http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=c19#AEN2231
17:18 magnus_away    ooops i'm supposed to be away...
17:20 owen           Those fields are already in red. I assumed the bug was referring to Patron Attribute Types
17:31 nahuel         gmcharlt, owen
17:31 nahuel         why opac detail search for authors only between 700 and 720
17:31 nahuel         and it doesn't look in 110 ?
17:32 gmcharlt       hmm - 110 is a corporate author, thus different index, but no reason not to hyperlink
17:32 nahuel         ok
17:50 slef           hi #koha
17:51 slef           my postings to koha@lists.katipo - too much, enough, more?
17:53 slef           and seredipitiously given what I was writing about, lisnews just sent me "Ten Reasons Why Professional Librarian is an Oxymoron2 http://bit.ly/cDtgps
17:56 owen           slef: I'm enjoying hearing your comments on the list. Keep it up.
17:57 wizzyrea       slef: I always like to hear you say you feel better after reflection :)
17:58 slef           wizzyrea: it read better than "after sleep" ;-)
17:59 slef           I think I meant serendipitiously.
18:01 wizzyrea       oh dear lol
18:02 slef           today has not been a golden one
18:02 slef           delays which I could do nothing about
18:03 slef           8.25 hours worked, 7pm and still hours to work
18:04 wizzyrea       owen: can you get any more awesome
18:04 wizzyrea       I mean really.
18:04 wizzyrea       excellent blog post, chum.
18:06 owen           Thanks, I could have gone into great detail on that one but I felt like publishing something fairly quick
18:08 slef           link please?
18:10 owen           http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=536
18:10 slef           tyvm
18:10 slef           yippee
18:11 * slef         is a statistician at heart still
18:11 slef           hrm, NonCommercial licensed :-/
18:12 owen           slef: I'm sure you could teach me many things about smart statistics. I don't have any training
18:13 slef           I wasn't all that successful as a teacher.
18:13 slef           That might have been the UK education sector as much as me, though.
18:14 slef           I guess we need more libraries using Koha for a few years to be able to get enough of them interested in some really smart stats.
18:15 gmcharlt       slef: Bob Molyneux at Equinox is *extremely* interested in any and all kinds of library usage statistics
18:19 slef           If anyone's ever interested in funding a stray statistician to analyse them, I'd love to get an enquiry.  I think I've had two usage projects in the last 5 years.
18:21 slef           First class honours on the first degree, but sadly I failed my doctorate in a blaze of questions at an oral exam years after I finished the research (I didn't revise well enough IMO - others have blamed university politics, but I'm not sure).
18:22 slef           I don't remember exactly when the exam was, but I think I was working for TTLLP/software.coop, so it must have been two years or more after I finished studying.
18:22 slef           anyway, back to my inboxes
18:23 slef           bgkriegel will wonder if this is #koha or #failedStatsDoctors
18:36 bgkriegel      yes I do :)
18:36 bgkriegel      I never finished my PHD in Physics
18:59 owen           Has someone begun the process of moving our Bugzilla database or are we waiting on a community decision?
19:02 owen           Maybe what I'm remembering is that git.koha-community.org was moving forward
19:02 wizzyrea       yes, owen, that is set up
19:02 wizzyrea       idk about bugs though
19:03 gmcharlt       I think chris is organizing hosting by Catalyst
19:03 owen           I'm steamed enough right now that just seeing that @liblime.com address from Bugzilla irritates me
19:05 wizzyrea       I guess the worst problem
19:05 wizzyrea       is getting the current bugs out
19:05 schuster       Laying low don't want to get shot.
19:06 wizzyrea       aww, you won't get shot
19:06 brendan        we won't shout you schuster
19:06 brendan        but munin he may
19:06 wizzyrea       or shout at you
19:06 brendan        @roulette
19:06 munin          brendan: *click*
19:06 owen           You're a Texan schuster, do you guys pack heat 24/7?
19:06 wizzyrea       ...
19:06 brendan        hehe - s/shout/shot
19:07 * slef         puts some cold water on owen and turns on a fan to clear the steam
19:07 * owen         hisses
19:07 schuster       Some do it's our right isn't it....  I'm actually from Minnesota where they carry shotguns in the back window of the truck mounted, loaded and ready to go.
19:07 slef           for some reason, pack heat always makes me think about animals on heat
19:07 slef           not the image I wanted to go to dinner with - thanks all :-/
19:07 slef           bbl
19:07 schuster       hmmmm steak on a grill...
19:08 slef           schuster: not what I meant, you know?
19:08 gmcharlt       schuster: in Alaska, somes we just used autombiles to hunt moose.  why settle for a measly shotgun :)
19:09 gmcharlt       (for those wondering: no, not really, but there was a program to donate the moose carcass to charity or a family after a car-moose collision)
19:09 * owen         suspected gmcharlt was using the term "we" loosely
19:09 chris          was there anything left of the car???
19:09 slef           not in the ones I've seen
19:09 schuster       slef - I tried to fix the image you painted...
19:10 slef           bbl
19:10 gmcharlt       chris: no, a moose will total even the largest of SUVs
19:10 schuster       Same with Deer in Minnesota.  You hit one it was time for a new car.
19:10 chris          ok time to get the boy up to take to soccer
19:10 chris          for the record, taking my 3 year old son to play football trumped a phone call to the US
19:11 * chris        heads off
19:11 schuster       Always should... :)
19:14 * chris_n      has to move quickly to avoid the avalanche of an overflowing inbox :)
19:15 brendan        chris_ overflow with patches is good ;)
19:19 chris_n        yup; all three lists have been buzzing today
19:28 wizzyrea       boo no nengard
19:28 wizzyrea       @later tell nengard of course I'd be happy to work on getting the translations translated to wp
19:28 munin          wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
19:29 schuster       owen - I need your professional opinion on web design.
19:29 schuster       I'm looking at using some images - what is the optimum size when you might have say 8-12 on a page and want the page to load fairly fast.
19:30 * wizzyrea     wasn't asked, but I'd try to keep each one under 100k
19:30 wizzyrea       K
19:30 schuster       I was hopeful you would respond anyway...
19:30 wizzyrea       :D
19:31 schuster       I'm working on the picture driven interface of predefines searches geared toward k-2 students.
19:31 schuster       so what would be the opitumum square do you think?
19:31 owen           I would probably go lower, maybe 50 or 60KB.
19:32 owen           ...but that's just off the top of my head, no research to back it up
19:33 owen           schuster: optimum square?
19:33 schuster       I'm finding some great pictures in public domain or CC - so I should be able to share what I end up with if people want it.  This picture I have is 1800 x 2700...  so yes size wise..
19:34 schuster       I'm going to use fireworks after I have all of my images to resize them to a standard size, HxW as well...
19:40 schuster       another question - I want to find all of the bibs that have no items attached...  suggestions for an sql?
19:41 owen           schuster: Did you look here already? http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=sql_library
19:42 owen           I see it, "All bibs without items"
19:42 owen           SELECT biblio.biblionumber, biblio.title
19:42 owen           FROM biblio
19:42 owen           LEFT JOIN items on biblio.biblionumber = items.biblionumber
19:42 owen           WHERE items.itemnumber is NULL
19:43 wizzyrea       ^^ love the report library
19:43 wizzyrea       should mention that jwagner has put up TONS of those reports. I"m so grateful for her contribution there.
19:45 schuster       Well yes there it is.. I looked, but didn't go down the the catalog section as the "contents list" didn't indicate the other reports my bad...
19:45 schuster       I did go there first, just didn't go deep enough. sorry to bother everyone.
19:45 wizzyrea       no no it's fine :)
19:46 * wizzyrea     thinks of yet something else to link directly from the koha-community website
19:46 schuster       wizzyrea I was thinking that too, but didn't want to put too much up there...
19:47 wizzyrea       ? why not?
19:47 schuster       Even it if was in the support section with the listserves.
19:47 schuster       Don't want to overwhelm people with stuff.
19:47 wizzyrea       oh pish posh. Organization is the key to overcoming overwhelmedness :D
19:48 wizzyrea       Would you like to buy an O? Circular and sweet, a nearly perfect circle, nearly good enough to eat. You can sing a little song with it like so: Ohh, Ohh, Ohh...
19:48 * wizzyrea     may have spent a little too much time with sesame street.
19:49 wizzyrea       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml6Yqu-spnM
19:49 chris_n        hmm... must be Friday :)
19:49 chris_n        owen++ # for a nice koha blog entry today
19:49 chris_n        very nifty
19:50 wizzyrea       A NICKEL! shh! a nickel! Riiiight.
19:50 owen           ?!
19:50 wizzyrea       see: above linked video
19:51 * wizzyrea     is tired of serious talk >.>
19:51 wizzyrea       injecting a bit of levity
19:51 wizzyrea       Hee!
19:52 cait           wizzyrea++
19:53 chris_n        the google chart stuff is very cool
19:54 owen           They can turn out pretty but they're a pain in the butt to put together
19:57 chris_n        what data format do you use for your charts?
19:58 chris_n        wizzyrea: is there a section of the koha-community.org site appropriate to linking to very helpful things like owen's blog?
19:59 cait           wizzyrea: I will dream about Os
19:59 chris_n        maybe on the support page
19:59 rhcl           cait, are you on the right channel?
20:00 cait           rhcl: its not my fault, its wizzyrea's - she let me watch this sesame street video
20:01 wizzyrea       I did. It's true.
20:01 rhcl           Ohhhhhhh. I see now. The alphabet "O". Yea, I didn't watch the vid.
20:02 cait           rhcl: what did you think about me?
20:02 rhcl           Nothing nothing. Nothing at all. It was wizzy.
20:02 chris_n        rhcl: or a donut
20:02 owen           Have a good weekend everyone
20:02 chris_n        which are conveniently shaped like an O
20:03 cait           hm donuts
20:04 rhcl           Bagels
20:04 cait           maccaroni?
20:04 gmcharlt       cheerios
20:04 gmcharlt       the bane of parents everywhere
20:04 cait           onion rings
20:05 wizzyrea       spaghetti-o's
20:05 rhcl           Marconi?
20:06 cait           you can cut them in rings
20:06 cait           oh marconi ... goes to look that up
20:07 rhcl           My connection to the subject was radio and digital communications.
20:07 rhcl           Marconi = early development of radio
20:07 cait           are marconi o-shaped?
20:08 rhcl           and concurrent with the development of Morse code, which is a digital mode, although commonly analog encoded.
20:08 rhcl           and digital = "1's" and "0's", although Morse is, of course, a trinary system (long on, short on, off).
20:09 cait           oh
20:09 rhcl           So that's how my mind made the association of Marconi and "0"
20:10 rhcl           I suppose many other people probably don't think like that.
20:10 cait           oh not sure
20:12 cait           I like the way your mind works :)
20:13 rhcl           Hummm
20:18 rhcl           http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcgzuDdlZUA
20:21 Nate           have a great weekend everyone!
20:22 wizzyrea       bye Nate
20:22 wizzyrea       aw just that too late
20:28 chris_n        rhcl: are you a radio geek?
20:32 brendan        @roulette
20:32 munin          brendan: *click*
20:36 wizzyrea       owen: nuke the return all
20:38 cait           owen: return all and perhaps renew all too
20:39 cait           @roulette
20:39 munin          *BANG* Hey, who put a blank in here?!
20:39 * munin        reloads and spins the chambers.
20:39 cait           oooh
20:44 chris_n        off to the bee hives
20:45 wizzyrea       ooh, fun
21:06 schuster       by all thanks for the fellowship...
21:06 schuster       have a great weekend - we have a 9 year old baseball tournement tomorrow and basketball tonight...  Can't wait to come back to work on Monday to rest!
21:13 cait           ok, time to sleep - bye #koha and nice weekend to all of you
21:31 librarywebchic I have a Koha question I'm hoping someone here can answer. Does anyone know if the Edition tab code - http://blogs.liblime.com/developers/2007/05/17/more-web-services-frbr-xisbn-thingisbn/ is part of the main Koha code or an add-on
21:32 wizzyrea       afaik that is in koha now
21:32 wizzyrea       yes, in fact I'm sure it is
21:32 wizzyrea       this is from my current as of today 3.2 alpha box: http://screencast.com/t/MDEwYTA3
21:33 wizzyrea       FRBR is definitely IN, and not an addon.
21:33 wizzyrea       (note: in 2007, when this post was written, LibLime was contributing all code they wrote to the community. It was lovely.)
21:34 librarywebchic thank you. I was trying to find out because it is my understanding that some of the Koha things Liblime didn't contribute but I wasn't sure about this one
21:34 librarywebchic so I appreciate the info. didn't want to point people to something they couldn't get
21:35 wizzyrea       nope, it's in. you're definitely right that there are a lot of things they wrote that aren't currently in. Fortunately, in many cases others have picked up those features and, while behind LL's progress, are making it in.
21:35 wizzyrea       sure thing :)
21:35 wizzyrea       where ya from
21:35 wizzyrea       ?
21:35 librarywebchic i work at OCLC. my name is Karen Coombs and I'm the Product Manager for the Developer Network
21:35 wizzyrea       Ah!
21:35 wizzyrea       hi there :)
21:36 wizzyrea       < Liz Rea, Northeast Kansas Library System
21:36 librarywebchic I was intrigued that Koha was using the xISBN service for that tab and wanted to make sure Koha folks knew we'd increased the non-commercial free limit to 1000 queries per day
21:36 wizzyrea       omg, no, I didn't know that
21:36 wizzyrea       maybe others did
21:36 librarywebchic the change just happened this week
21:36 wizzyrea       but I didn't, but THANKS for the info, I'll go put a post on the site about it!
21:36 librarywebchic no thank you
21:37 wizzyrea       that's great!
21:37 gmcharlt       hi Karen
21:37 gmcharlt       thanks for the news
21:37 wizzyrea       absolutely :)
21:37 wizzyrea       stop by anytime. Friday afternoons are quiet here
21:37 wizzyrea       but usually lots of folks around
21:37 librarywebchic also if any Koha users are OCLC cataloging members getting and even higher daily usage is free for them. There is a form to fill out but that is it no $$
21:37 librarywebchic if you are a cataloging member
21:38 wizzyrea       are there any official press materials to announce these changes?
21:38 wizzyrea       (would link to them)
21:39 librarywebchic we post changes to these services to the developer network listserv and the Developer Network blog - http://worldcat.org/devnet/blog/2010/04/daily_noncommercial_usage_limi.html
21:40 wizzyrea       cool beans, will add that one to my reader so I can stay on top of it. :)
21:41 wizzyrea       ok to say that I talked to you?
21:41 wizzyrea       or no?
21:41 wizzyrea       or just that I saw it on the blog ;)
21:41 librarywebchic either is fine
21:41 wizzyrea       okies
21:42 librarywebchic I'm trying to find the official press release too but for some reason I don't think it went out
21:42 wizzyrea       erg, I hate it when that happens. And I do crap like that all the time "what, you mean I didn't send it out? *sigh*"
21:42 librarywebchic LOL
21:43 brendan        librarywebchic++
21:43 librarywebchic also, I'd be happy to talk to Koha developers about other web services OCLC has that are free for noncommercial use that might be of interest to Koha folks, particularly from an online catalog perspective
21:44 wizzyrea       we have a couple of meetings here next week, I imagine that if you wanted to be on the agenda that would be welcome and encouraged
21:44 * wizzyrea     tries to find the agenda... hopes it's been put up
21:45 librarywebchic there are some nice things people are doing with WorldCat Identities. One example is http://search.trln.org/search?Nty=1&N=0&Ntt=mark+twain&Ntk=Author
21:45 librarywebchic what day? I can try to come if my schedule isn't full of meetings?
21:46 wizzyrea       May 5, http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2010-05-04%2019:00%20UTC+0
21:46 wizzyrea       19:00UTC+0

21:49 librarywebchic you guys are awesome. This is what I love about open source community software building!
21:49 * brendan      would love a nice OCLC connextion client plugin for koha (other something like that) I know a few of our clients would love it
21:49 wizzyrea       :D it's what we like too.
21:49 brendan        it's on sekjal wish list to program
21:49 wizzyrea       brendan: it's a long list
21:50 brendan        yeah all of our programming wish lists seems to be big
21:50 librarywebchic will take that as a note. Know some folks at the IDS project - http://idsproject.org who are interested in the same thing and have done some interesting things connecting to Connexion.
21:51 wizzyrea       http://koha-community.org/oclc-raises-daily-noncommercial-usage-limits-for-xisbn-and-xissn/
21:52 librarywebchic can you guys send me a note coombsk[at]oclc.org when you have your next developer get together? I'd like to try to make it
21:53 librarywebchic in the meantime, if you want to see some of the neat things you can do with OCLC web services you can check out my demos at http://www.librarywebchic.net/mashups .
21:53 chris          cool
21:54 wizzyrea       sure, we also list them on our wiki at wiki.koha.org (though the web presence is a bit in flux at the moment... if you can't find them you can stop by here and we can direct you to the right page)
21:54 brendan        cool nice resources librarywebchic
21:54 librarywebchic the source code is available at http://www.worldcat.org/devnet/code/devnetDemos/
21:55 librarywebchic happy to help and I'm happy to do a presentation for the Koha community. just need to find a time that works!

21:56 chris          wizzyrea: is there an rss feed for items marked as events
21:56 chris          on k-c.org?
21:56 chris          might be handy for librarywebchic
