Not of earhshattering importance but trivial to fix now rather than later where more knowledge would be needed to fix it. 20:49 cait good night all 20:47 wizzyrea thd: thanks :) 20:44 wizzyrea any of these options are fine by me 20:44 thd I will pledge to move content created in other languages as a spur to make sure I test multi-lingual localisation very soon. 20:43 thd wizzyrea: one reference to wiki.koha.community.org should suffice and people can choose a language from their with English being the only localisation choice offered initially. 20:42 Lee thanks I bow to your expert organizational skills.:) 20:41 gmcharlt Lee: http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2010-05-05#i_434509 20:41 thd We volunteer you Lee 20:40 Lee I was late 20:40 Lee galen is anyone posting the minutes from the this IRC meeting? 20:39 thd gmcharlt: yes everyone deserves adequate sleep 20:38 gmcharlt thd: negard has gone to bed 20:38 thd nengard: do you prefer en-wiki.* to en.wiki.* 20:38 thd nengard: wait one moment please 20:37 nengard now i'm logging off - was up at 3am for a flight - and too tired 20:37 nengard and agree with you that we can have diff languages 20:37 nengard i agree with en-wiki 20:37 thd at www.koha.org 20:37 thd nengard: Does agree with wizzyrea about the URL mean agree with her about which one points to the wiki? 20:36 wizzyrea < does quite a bit of it in her job though 20:36 wizzyrea no 20:35 wizzyrea (just easier re: DNS that way) 20:35 thd Is wizzyrea administering DNS? 20:35 nengard thd makes sense - and agree with wizzyrea about the URL 20:34 joetho +1 but isn't that pretty earlylate in NZ? 20:34 wizzyrea probably en-wiki 20:34 Lee hey liz 20:34 thd gmcharlt nengard: I also think that we should have English content at en.wiki.koha-community.org and that wiki.koha-community.org should be a static page pointing at en.wiki.koha-community.org for now with other languages added after testing how they work in some other test database to avoid breaking things. 20:34 Lee guess I missed the meeting 20:34 wizzyrea oh hey lee 20:34 Lee hey 20:34 nengard hi Lee 20:33 wizzyrea thanks everybody 20:33 wizzyrea yay 20:33 gmcharlt ok, thanks all 20:33 tajoli +1 20:32 nengard +1 20:32 larsw 0 (I fine with anything, really) 20:32 miguel_xercode 1 20:32 hdl_laptop +1 20:32 Colin +1 20:32 thd +1 20:32 wizzyrea +1 20:32 gmcharlt I propose 10:00 UTC+0 on 2 June 20:31 gmcharlt and move on to setting the next meeting time 20:31 nengard +1 20:31 gmcharlt I propose to not allow further agenda items 20:31 wizzyrea wow, sorry about that 20:31 gmcharlt ok, since this has lasted an hour and a half 20:31 gmcharlt k, I'll look into it on the weekend 20:30 thd gmcharlt: I refer to the cool short URLs issue. 20:29 thd gmcharlt: yes 20:29 thd I raised it my last post on the mailing list and then I ran out of time to sleep 20:29 gmcharlt keeping the current en content, of course 20:29 gmcharlt thd: if you're referring to the database setup, I will revamp it over the weekend 20:28 nengard thd? 20:28 * chris_n has to go, bbl 20:28 thd nengard: before we go to far along on the new wiki there is a technical issue which would be good to correct 20:28 vickiteal Thanks for all your work wizzyrea. 20:27 wizzyrea I'll put the community guidelines on the next agenda :) 20:27 joetho +1 for galen's latest pastebin revision 20:27 wizzyrea thank you, very good discussion 20:27 wizzyrea if we want/need to 20:27 wizzyrea ok, i will take this wording, we can change it later 20:26 schuster off to do a few things to get ready for tomorrow. Thanks all... Hope the 3.2alpha2 can be really short. 20:26 wizzyrea idc really, I just didn't want people passing themselves off as official 20:26 wizzyrea bah, we can drop it 20:26 joetho but it doesn't address the linkback issue. Talk about walking on eggshells! 20:25 schuster +12 20:25 joetho I like the pastebin revision, but... 20:25 Colin if the list was random people would just makeup reasons for the order 20:25 chris_n +1 20:25 wizzyrea 2nd! 20:25 wizzyrea fwiw I'm for the revision 20:25 gmcharlt I move to propose that wording above as the new vendor listing policy ^^ 20:24 gmcharlt revised per larsw http://koha.pastebin.com/aqeJTs4D 20:24 wizzyrea I'm working with slef on it, and he holds all of the same concerns you all do 20:24 wizzyrea :) 20:24 wizzyrea oh for pity's sake, the format of the list is in flux. I will report on it another time 20:24 chris_n +1 #gmcharlt's proposal 20:24 larsw gmcharlt++ (but add mailing list address?) 20:23 schuster could you do columns for the information and then use js table sorter to sort them at will? 20:23 joetho oh how I know. 20:23 thd joetho: We have some of our current problems because LibLime did put PTFS in ILS purgatory. 20:23 joetho Hmm. B comes before E which comes before both L and P 20:23 gmcharlt http://koha.pastebin.com/T1gPz2kP 20:23 gmcharlt specific wording to propose 20:23 Sharon It's a library ILS folks, it best be alphabetical 20:22 wizzyrea lol that's one option for sure. The page is static at the moment 20:22 larsw wizzyrea, default order being random so as not to favor anyone? :) 20:22 joetho oh my. Fair karma would put PTFS in ILS purgatory. 20:22 thd yes I know 20:22 wizzyrea thd: that's the plan 20:22 sekjal interesting, and likely extremely difficult 20:22 thd Alphabet please or multiple formats. 20:22 sekjal it would be interesting if we could somehow work out a 'fair' karma system for support companies 20:21 wizzyrea all of the above 20:21 * chris has to head to work 20:21 joetho sortable by what? Alphabetical? Age of company? Age of CEO? 20:21 thd wizzyrea: However, unusual politeness by big companies may prompt an investigation. 20:21 wizzyrea I know the order is a contentious issue 20:21 chris_n or a little js to present a random list each pageload? 20:21 wizzyrea but alpha for now 20:21 wizzyrea we will get there! 20:21 wizzyrea sortable! 20:21 chris_n so... alphabetical listings? 20:21 wizzyrea website 20:21 thd wizzyrea: The problem is an anti-competitive agreement. Mere politeness is not against anti-trust law. 20:21 wizzyrea give or take 20:20 wizzyrea info = name of company, contact information, less than 300 characters of company description 20:20 vickiteal Thanks. 20:20 wizzyrea Introduce yourself, provide X info on the list 20:20 chris done 20:20 chris do you offer koha services 20:19 chris joetho: i thnk we have just simplified it 20:19 wizzyrea thd: lol. *sigh* 20:19 joetho I wonder if we are overthinking this. 20:19 thd wizzyrea: actually the US Department of Justice is investigating illegal labour market collusion between Apple, Google, IBM, etc. for having the decency not to attempt to poach one another's employees. 20:19 joetho The Evergreen website doesn't emphasize support vendors the way we do. 20:19 wizzyrea if ($you_provide_koha_services) { send_email(to => "mailto:koha@lists.koha-community.org"); } else { send_email(to => "yourself"; } 20:19 chris im fairly sure we could reach a public consensus to remove a company if that happened 20:19 wizzyrea we can talk about the community guidelines another time 20:19 vickiteal wizzyrea will you recap rules. I'm lost (not unusual). 20:18 wizzyrea I will fix the rule. 20:18 chris if someone violates the license, we will cross that bridge when it happens 20:18 wizzyrea just sayin. 20:18 wizzyrea oki :) 20:18 vickiteal Um, I didn't really think it should say "decent company" or "decent anything." 20:18 chris everything else is untestable 20:17 chris but yeah the rule is just do you offer koha services 20:17 chris wizzyrea: that boils back to ppl thinking its ok because they work for a company 20:17 wizzyrea ^^ is what I'm getting at 20:17 chris thats why its nothing to do with the rules 20:17 wizzyrea do what you can to win 20:16 wizzyrea it's so subjective though, what's decent? In business it seems that even the worst behavior is tolerated simply because that's the nature of the free market 20:16 chris_n lol larsw 20:16 chris there we go, done :-) 20:16 larsw if ($you_provide_koha_services) { send_email(to => "koha@lists.koha-community.org"); } else { send_email(to => "yourself"; } 20:16 * owen must leave 20:16 chris who own the decisions they make 20:16 chris companies are made up of humans 20:16 vickiteal Being a decent company. 20:15 thd chris: would like to propose adding a requirement to follow the license and what would be the objective test of violation? 20:15 chris or something 20:15 chris 'being a decent human being' 20:15 wizzyrea fair enough. Community guidelines to be posted separately 20:15 chris on same page called 20:15 chris the rest are a separate thing 20:15 chris and thats all 20:15 wizzyrea but yes, that was what I meant 20:15 wizzyrea to be fair, I thought that 2 was included in 1 20:14 chris ? 20:14 chris do you offer koha services 20:14 chris send your intro 20:14 chris i thought the rules were 20:13 chris um no those arent the rules 20:13 joetho Joe Tholen - Tech Coord - SEKLS - Kansas 20:13 wizzyrea don't be a dick (wording to be smithed later) 20:13 wizzyrea it would be nice if you linked back to the official website 20:13 wizzyrea Send your introductions to the list 20:12 nengard :) 20:12 nengard schuster should read chapter 7 in this awesome book called 'Library Mashups' 20:12 wizzyrea the rules as I've distilled them 20:12 wizzyrea ok so 20:12 schuster schuster needs to learn about these pipes... 20:12 nengard feel free to tell me of anything I'm missing - I only subscribe to Koha categories 20:12 wizzyrea I appreciate the discussion, your guidance is necessary 20:12 Colin devil's consultant surely 20:11 nengard http://pipes.yahoo.com/nengard/kohablogs 20:11 wizzyrea i kno :) 20:11 owen I'm just trying to play devil's advocate 20:11 schuster Then owen would be covered. 20:11 wizzyrea nengard even has a pipe for that 20:11 wizzyrea easy to do, easily added 20:11 wizzyrea of course 20:11 schuster Well could "koha libraries" push a newsfeed? 20:11 chris i vote yes for owen 20:11 wizzyrea openness++ even 20:11 thd the license we favour actually includes a friendly cure clause 20:10 wizzyrea opennessP++ 20:10 owen schuster: Not "formally" 20:10 Colin larsw++ 20:10 schuster larsw ++ 20:10 schuster owen you are a support company - you are for hire under your outside consulting aren't you? 20:10 larsw I feel strongly that openness about inclusion/rejection/removal is essential 20:10 chris_n thd: chris speaks to the point; if a vendor violates the license, they should be delisted 20:10 wizzyrea owen 20:09 chris thd: s/much/a tiny bit/ 20:09 wizzyrea there is the koha planet aggregator for that kind of stuff 20:09 Colin and that the procedure was not always done openly 20:09 thd chris_n: I am very confident that in the absence of a bad history with rules, we would have a better situation now as a community. 20:09 schuster Not to mention one company was running the website... 20:09 owen I'm not a support company... Can I submit a news feed? 20:08 thd chris_n: much of the present problems which the community has are because community endorsement had been used selectively as a weapon 20:08 wizzyrea I'm also holding the rule that if you are not listed, you can't submit a news feed for inclusion 20:08 chris and no longer offering services 20:08 chris breach of lthe license 20:07 chris chris_n: plenty ...but you'd never do them, but only 2 of them would be worth removal from the list 20:07 * chris_n hopes rather than believes that what thd says is true 20:07 schuster wizzyrea sortable++ 20:07 thd chris_n: not associating with you would be different from not listing you. 20:07 wizzyrea i am (will be) working with slef to do that 20:07 wizzyrea there is high desire to have it be sortable in many ways 20:07 wizzyrea the actual form of the list is somewhat in flux 20:07 gmcharlt owen: the new policies are decided by community vote here; if egregious behavior occurs, matter can be revisit 20:07 chris_n so there is nothing I could do as a support company to cause you to have the desire to no longer want to be associated with me? 20:07 thd chris_n: under the carrots all the way theory. Good behaviour will be rewarded in other ways and will win out in most every case. 20:06 * larsw ponders the possibility to just have a pointer from www.koha-community.org to a page on the wiki where support companies can add themselves if they want to 20:06 chris i do personally reserve the right to call people dicks when i think they are behaving like them though 20:06 chris badly is too subjective 20:06 owen And would that rejection be discussed on the mailing list? 20:06 * chris_n thinks it is unwise to not have the option to remove those who behave badly 20:05 schuster Make sure there is the header as Chris mentioned that none of the companies listed are santioned by the koha-community 20:05 thd chris_n: endorsement actually may have legal ramifications which could create liabilities as an additional consideration 20:05 chris chris_n: this of course doesn't mean people can't point out the bad behaviour 20:05 wizzyrea (which is ok by me, fwiw) 20:05 larsw blatant intentional violation of the copyright license? 20:05 wizzyrea that's the only thing I've seen 20:05 wizzyrea it's obvious spam? 20:05 owen Under what circumstances would a company request a listing and be rejected? 20:04 thd chris_n: The rules which have been proposed do not consider bad behaviour grounds for delisting 20:04 wizzyrea chris_n I think we decided that de-listing would only happen if the company no longer supported koha 20:04 gmcharlt chris_n: none, if we stick with the principle that listing disclaims endorsement 20:04 larsw chris_n, public discussion on the koha@ list, with an invitation to the company to participate in the discussion? 20:04 schuster I like that - you can indicate participate in Monthly chat discussions, work on patches, answer questisons on the listserves... 20:04 thd owen: Google? 20:04 chris oh, they have chosen the easier don;t be evil 20:03 chris_n so what are the procedures for determining if a company is behaving badly and de-listing them? 20:03 wizzyrea oh snap. 20:03 owen chris: How's that working out for Google? 20:03 chris :) 20:03 wizzyrea lol chris 20:03 chris i think that about covers it 20:03 wizzyrea but separate from how to get listed 20:03 gmcharlt I would be happy with language requesting link-back to koha-community.org, but not demanding it 20:03 chris how about "don't be a dick" 20:03 thd wizzyrea: carrots all the way. 20:03 wizzyrea we should post the community guidelines 20:03 wizzyrea yes, I agree 20:02 thd wizzyrea: I merely wonder in some separate place we should list things that we encourage people to do without any stick if they do not do them. 20:02 wizzyrea thd: excellent, we are agreed :) 20:01 thd wizzyrea: I am favouring maximum inclusiveness. 20:01 schuster (put the link on their website) 20:01 larsw +1 for a "koha support company best practices checklist" that is not in the form of a cricket bat 20:01 schuster We are not telling them Where they have to put the link... but they should recognize where the software originalted from. 20:01 wizzyrea me, personally 20:01 * chris_n thinks that is sometimes a very small stick 20:01 wizzyrea no, I want the official website to be inclusive to a fault, if necessary 20:01 thd recommendations are not the same as rules. 20:01 chris their customers leaving should be that stick 20:00 wizzyrea larsw: did you see the old rules? Those were a reaction to PTFS, if I've been informed correctly 20:00 thd We should be able to have recommendations of community spirited practises even where they are being ignored by organisations listed. 20:00 chris but i dont think we need to make the website be the stick to hit them with 20:00 gmcharlt but the well has been poisoned 20:00 chris certainly i still expect ppl to hold support companies to task when they behave badly 20:00 * chilts gets up to go to work ... ttfn 20:00 gmcharlt all things being equal, I would prefer link back to koha-community.org and following community guidelines 20:00 wizzyrea it would, and would have the benefit of forcing them to admit we are official 20:00 larsw the "must link to k-c" sounds like a reaction to ptfs to me (I'm neither for nor against) 20:00 chris_n hdl_laptop: context? 19:59 thd gmcharlt: I am not proposing a rule 19:59 brendan a link back would help SEO - wouldn't it ? 19:59 schuster hmmm gmcharlt ... I see a point... 19:59 hdl_laptop because of context. 19:59 chris_n why? 19:59 gmcharlt -1 # I disagree - I would prefer that it stick with "does vendor offer Koha services" 19:58 thd While enforcing a rule against seeming more official than the community project now seems moot, it is certainly a good principle. 19:58 wizzyrea ok this is good. 19:58 schuster wizzyrea is on it today! 19:58 hdl_laptop +1 19:58 schuster +1 19:58 tajoli OK 19:58 vokalr +1 19:58 owen Good one 19:58 chris_n +1 19:58 wizzyrea from their website 19:58 wizzyrea is a link back to koha-community.org 19:57 wizzyrea I think that a very simple requirement 19:57 chris_n +1 # for wizzyrea's suggestion 19:57 wizzyrea one thing 19:57 wizzyrea OH 19:57 chilts their website would show that, for one 19:57 wizzyrea for introducing your company to the list 19:57 chilts yeah, I think it'll be obvious if someone who emails the list actually does something related to Koha 19:57 wizzyrea or we can provide a template 19:57 schuster wizzyrea you typed faster than me. 19:57 * reed to the train 19:56 schuster When they introduce themselves to the list should they do more than say Hi I'm David and I support Koha ad Schuters in? 19:56 wizzyrea so we get uniform data 19:56 wizzyrea we can mail them back a link to the form 19:56 chilts gmcharlt: that's ok, because a human will add it to the list (and make it nice and fit in with the rest of the page) 19:56 wizzyrea a vendor introduces offering services 19:56 vickiteal Thanks. 19:56 wizzyrea how about this 19:56 wizzyrea well 19:56 wizzyrea we 19:56 chris koha list is the main list 19:56 thd hdl_laptop: human spammers are that smart. gmcharlt's proposed rules are for human spammers 19:56 vickiteal Sorry Chris, your main may not be my main list. ;) 19:55 wizzyrea so 19:55 wizzyrea right 19:55 tajoli The main list 19:55 gmcharlt I'm suggesting a form for a specific purpose, though - to not have the listigns be complete unconstrained in their form 19:55 chris main one 19:55 wizzyrea okies, I'll work something up and send it out to the list 19:55 vickiteal Which list, koha-l or developer list? 19:55 hdl_laptop s/lart/smart/ 19:55 hdl_laptop spammers bot are not that "lart" yet. 19:55 reed +1 for must introduce yourself on the list add make the request there to get added 19:55 tajoli Better a email to the list that a web form, IMHO 19:55 hdl_laptop thd: spammers would ask to be listed as a koha support company ? 19:55 owen Yeah 19:55 wizzyrea though, that might be conducive to spam >.> 19:54 wizzyrea we could have a form that mails the list, for that matter 19:54 chris_n introducing one's self to the community would be appropriate to being listed 19:54 gmcharlt owen: possibly yes, although actually I think a form on the website might be better 19:54 thd hdl_laptop: does gmcharlt advertisement of services test satisfy you as something spammers would not bother to do? 19:54 wizzyrea It could be done several ways 19:54 magnus +1 19:54 chris_n owen: I think yes 19:54 owen So are we still saying email the list to initiate a listing? 19:53 chris and put in nice big letters, no endorsement of any kind is implied by being listed 19:53 gmcharlt with a CC to the vendor's listed contact 19:53 gmcharlt and I guess a point 5 - removal of vendors from list (excpet in the case of obvious spam) must be announced on the mailing list 19:53 wizzyrea cool. I thought this would be more contentious. :) 19:53 Colin Check at the contact they give... that should deal with ones that cease to exist 19:53 chris oh yeah, naw, trash those and just go for 1 rule, must offer koha services 19:53 chris_n lol 19:53 reed so, its 'must offer koha services' but the 'you are cool' test is dropped 19:53 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: well, somebody taking it upon themselves to check their website and/or ask 19:52 thd hdl_laptop++ 19:52 wizzyrea step 1 19:52 wizzyrea http://koha.org/support/pay-for-support/how-to-get-listed 19:52 chris what community guidelines? 19:52 hdl_laptop how could you know that the company is not offering koha services ? 19:52 brendan maybe just clean the list right now and all resubmit ? 19:52 wizzyrea (just to be clear) 19:52 thd +1 19:52 thd nengard: the trouble comes from how you measure participation which has been used in an unnecessarily exclusionary way in one unfortunate case. 19:52 wizzyrea so we are not going to require following the community guidelines? 19:52 gmcharlt larsw: yes, I think that is reasonable, and could be view as a logical consequence of point #2 (legit proffer of Koha services) 19:52 chris_n maybe a yearly polll 19:52 wizzyrea larsw: that seems fair 19:52 larsw but other than that, +1 19:51 larsw gmcharlt, I propose that vendors no longer actively offering Koha services be dropped occasionally 19:51 reed +1 19:51 chris_n +1 19:51 vokalr +1 19:51 Colin +1 19:51 magnus +1 19:51 chris +1 19:51 gmcharlt i.e., boil the list down to one question: does the vendor offer Koha services of any kind 19:51 robin-home No, that makes it hard for eg training companies 19:51 nengard not necessarily a patch, but some display of community and participation 19:51 thd oops 19:51 chris yeah 19:51 thd gmcharlt: do you have a 4 not that there should be one? 19:51 chris i dont think thats a prerwq 19:50 chris_n but what about some who may only support not develop 19:50 wizzyrea but that's just me 19:50 gmcharlt 4. we keep issues of trademarks, copyrights, out of this 19:50 wizzyrea reed: I personally don't want to go there 19:50 nengard reed i would like to see some sort of participation from them 19:50 chris_n interesting 19:50 reed ? require them to submit at least one patch 19:50 gmcharlt 3. entries can be removed or disallowed if they are spam, i.e., irrelevant to Koha services 19:50 nengard makes the most sense 19:50 nengard the majority 19:49 larsw chris, does everyone have a veto? if not, and there is controversy about someone, who gets final word in the decision? 19:49 wizzyrea do you want to require at least one demonstrable instance of a running koha install? 19:49 chris_n +1 19:49 chris likng it so far 19:49 gmcharlt 2. they get accepted if it is a legitamate proffer of Koha services 19:49 brendan s/objects/objections 19:49 brendan objects should be public too 19:49 gmcharlt 1. support company proposes via list (or perhaps form on the webiste) 19:49 brendan +1 19:49 chris and barring people objecting they get listed 19:49 gmcharlt given the controversy that these rules have provoked, I suggest a very simple set of criteria 19:49 wizzyrea meeting time :) 19:48 wizzyrea wb jwagner 19:48 jwagner Sorry, been off in a meeting 19:48 chris i propose new support companies email the main koha list 19:48 wizzyrea *koha*.* even :) 19:48 brendan anyone who has a koha*.* domain is more that welcome to forward that to koha-community.org 19:48 schuster foir 19:48 wizzyrea I ask because I would like to know what I need to do to add companies to the list :) 19:47 brendan I think we make new ones for the new subdomains and new website 19:47 wizzyrea (or do we want any rules re: listing as support vendor on official site at all) 19:47 wizzyrea 3. if not, what do we want? 19:47 wizzyrea can someone enlighten me as to 1. who made them 2. do we still want them 19:46 wizzyrea So we have these rules 19:46 wizzyrea indeed 19:46 ccurry neutral 19:46 gmcharlt wizzyrea, I believe that that was your agenda item 19:46 gmcharlt viz, http://koha.org/support/pay-for-support/how-to-get-listed 19:46 cait neutral, dont know enough abot licences 19:46 owen slef's got some convincing to do if he is indeed the lone dissenting voter 19:45 larsw 10 for, 10 neutral, 0 against -- this was not a vote to decide, but it's clearly for a change; thanks, my curiosity is satisifed 19:45 gmcharlt 5. Discuss currently listed rules for becoming listed as a support company on the website 19:45 gmcharlt ok, thanks - moving on (unless larsw had a comment to make as a result of the straw poll) 19:44 sekjal neutral 19:44 vickiteal neutral, uninformed 19:44 brendan for 19:44 jcamins neutral 19:44 vokalr neutral 19:44 larsw for agplv3+ 19:44 Sharon neutral 19:44 reed for 19:44 chilts for 19:44 hdl_laptop For 19:44 gmcharlt for 19:44 chris for 19:43 Colin For 19:43 wizzyrea neutral, same as owen 19:43 magnus neutral 19:43 chris_n for 19:43 * owen neutral for lack of info 19:43 nengard neutral 19:43 rhcl neutral 19:43 robin-home For 19:43 tajoli OK on affero 19:43 thd agplv3+ 19:43 * chris_n will do that 19:43 larsw I'd be interested in a quick show of hands for/against/neutral on the issue of intending a switch go agplv3 19:43 gmcharlt and (since he re-proposed it) ask chris_n to kick that off 19:42 larsw before we switch topics... 19:42 thd s/issue/intent issue/ 19:42 gmcharlt I suggest that we resume this discussion on koha-devel 19:42 thd I also have a thorough treatment of the issue waiting to post. 19:42 gmcharlt thanks 19:42 thd Asking is simple 19:41 thd Yes I do 19:41 chris does thd have time to do that? 19:41 thd I have withheld public comment on this issue when it has come up to avoid an unnecessary argument with slef. 19:40 thd larsw++ 19:40 * chris_n nominates thd to check in with SFLC and report back 19:40 thd larsw: Want to is different from how to, yes. 19:40 chris deciding intent is more important 19:40 chris larsw++ 19:40 larsw is the mysql issue relevant to a discussion whether we want to move from "GPLv2 or later" to "GPLv3 or later" or "AGPLv3 or later"? if we want to move, it's one of the things that may need to be fixed, but that's an implementation detail only, in my humble opinion 19:39 thd The question should be put to the SFLC which understands the licenses well and would be in the best position to defend the license should we ever need that defence. 19:38 thd I had forgotten about that exception at the moment. 19:38 thd Colin: I think that does not apply 19:38 thd Colin: that exception is for client libraries only 19:37 Colin http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/ 19:37 thd Colin: do you have a link? 19:37 thd Colin: what is your source for that? 19:37 chris thank you Colin 19:36 Colin MySQL allows gplv3 under the foss exception clause of the sun license 19:36 thd larsw: If you undermine the linking argument about derived works then you undermine the effect of the license. 19:36 chris what? 19:35 thd larsw: Currently, as chris said which was decided by Katipo at the outset. 19:35 larsw chris, I don't think that is correct: gplv2+ can link to gplv2-only without problems 19:35 chris as its gplv2 or later already 19:35 chris then we already have the problem thd 19:35 larsw as the newbie I ask: what is the current policy on copyright licensing in Koha? 19:35 thd The problem for MySQL is the same. 19:34 chris to first should we move to gplv3 19:34 chris_n thd: answering an objection is not the only part of discussion, however 19:34 chris i would like to reframe the discussion 19:34 chris_n right, discussion today does not imply conclusion today 19:34 thd Answering his objections in his absence would be unfair to the attention to which slef has given to the matter. 19:34 chris larsw++ 19:33 larsw discussing this on the list(s) is probably a good idea anyway, but shouldn't prevent us from starting a discussion now 19:33 thd Precisely, because his objections are well known we should ensure that we have his participation. 19:32 larsw it's not all that late in the UK; can someone call slef up and invite him to the meeting? 19:32 chris_n so we probably need to take this discussion to the list 19:32 thd s/know/no/ 19:32 thd know and we need to here him out about this issue 19:31 chris i think the first step would be to use the or later clause we have, to switch to gplv3 19:31 thd chris_n: any reference to INNODB is MySQL specific. 19:31 gmcharlt is slef present at this meeting? 19:31 chris_n in koha that is 19:31 owen I would like to include slef in this discussion as well 19:31 chris_n thd: can you point out an example of a mysql specific call 19:31 thd chris_n: The problem is that the MySQL issue is well known. 19:30 thd chris_n: If we change most to all then we are safe. 19:30 chris in any uninverse 19:30 chris using an api is not making something a dervied work 19:30 larsw personal opinion: if there is a tight linkage with MySQL in Koha, that's a bug and should be fixed; it is not a stumbling block for switching AGPLv3 19:30 chris_n anyway, even 19:30 chris_n most of the sql is ansi anywhat iirc 19:30 thd We cannot have a proper discussion of the issue without slef who has some principled objections to which I have answers. 19:30 reed +1 19:29 * chris_n thinks we rip out the mysql specific calls (if any exist) 19:29 thd However, I think that we should pursue it in consultation with lawyers who understand the issue well. 19:29 chris_n thd: I think we are straining to swallow a gnat here 19:29 chris there are no mysql specific calls 19:29 larsw thd, I meant the link as background information, for those who haven't heard of this issue before, not legal advice 19:28 thd Please do not mistake me, I am all for AGPL 3. 19:28 larsw doesn't Koha have a postgresql binding, too? 19:28 thd larsw I would not trust the wikipedia answer to a legal question 19:28 chris i dispute that 19:28 thd chris_n: we have MySQL specific calls in the database and if you take MySQL away Koha does not function. 19:27 larsw http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL#Linking_and_derived_works 19:27 chris or vice versa 19:27 chris_n koha is not a derived work of mysql 19:27 robin-home I think it would only matter if you used libmysql or whatever it is. 19:27 chris i dont think anyone in their right mind could say koha is a derived work of mysql 19:27 thd larsw: this is about what constitutes a derived work. The type of linking should not matter. 19:27 chris_n the two are independent at a code level 19:27 chris yes 19:26 chris_n thd: I meant why would running over mysql have anything to do with koha's license? 19:26 thd chris_n GPL 2 only as opposed to GPL 2 or later is incompatible with AGPL 3. 19:26 larsw is this about the "shared linking versus static linking" controversy? 19:26 chris we don't interface with mysql at all, its done through DBI, and DBD 19:26 thd I have not put the question formally. 19:25 chris_n thd: why would it matter? 19:25 gmcharlt state your sources, then 19:25 thd My information is that it does matter unless we abstract the database. 19:25 chris im not sure that matters 19:24 thd MySQL had switched its license to GPL 2 only during the GPLv3 drafting process. 19:24 gmcharlt thd: namely? 19:24 thd We have a dependency problem to resolve before we can discuss that properly. 19:23 gmcharlt 4.

We hit 90F over the weekend. Beastly hot and humid. 16:20 wizzyrea @seen jdavidb 16:20 schuster seen jdavidb 16:19 DRUlm Right, but with my understanding, security between the VMs is not cut and dry, there are certainly some new techniques that need to be used and not everybody is using them, and the rest can be a bit experimental - but given where you are coming from, OK, I will conceed that it is based on the provider 16:19 wizzyrea (a question only they could answer) 16:18 wizzyrea so, the question is: do you trust your cloud provider to secure their boxen? 16:18 wizzyrea ^^ 16:18 gmcharlt DRUlm: that is entirely dependent on how the provider manges their setup 16:17 DRUlm Right, but with the cloud there can be a whole network interface where everything is sitting and you can have all the VMs essentially on the same LAN with open access between them. Also once root is obtained on the VMware host, then all the machines are owned 16:17 schuster hmmm guess I need to go back to PTFS on that. yikes glad I asked. 16:16 schuster AH! 16:16 gmcharlt schuster: no, doesn't look like it was submitted 16:16 DRUlm I use VMware for my test machine, and there is some strangeness with the MySQL response time. Zebra seems better, but it is probably an issue with how the MySQL server software is optimized, and something does not translate for speed when running virtual 16:15 schuster gmcharlt - is the content cafe done for us last year part of the community code? Just making sure I'm covered as we upgrade to 3.x in the near future. 16:15 gmcharlt agreed, that's a broad question, and really impossible to answer w/o looking at the specificies of any particular cloud hosting provider 16:14 wizzyrea could be 16:14 wizzyrea AH 16:14 jcamins However, we're using VirtualBox to host our catalog, and I'm convinced that's at the root of many of our problems. 16:14 wizzyrea same as any server, imo: if you don't secure it, it isn't secure. 16:14 DRUlm An an unrelated topic how is the security w/ Clouds. I have heard some mixed info from the black-hat crowd 16:13 jcamins Well, we're using Koha, so it's not LLEK per se. 16:13 owen schuster: "It's not our fault, it's Koha's fault" ? 16:13 wizzyrea maybe a LLEK limitation? due to cloud hosting? 16:12 schuster That was the first I had heard of it so thought I would throw it out to you as it sounded similar. 16:12 jcamins Okay, now it's just messing with me. 16:12 schuster I saw on the liblime list that there was a Koha limitation... 16:11 schuster wizzyrea ++ report library... it needed a little tender loving care. 16:11 jcamins So I am now uploading in batches of 3000, rather than 6000, records. 16:11 jcamins schuster: It seems that the combination of my desktop and our server can't handle files above 4MB. 16:10 schuster jcamins - maybe your files are tooo large... use MARCEDIT to break them into smaller chuncks - or it could be that you have a record that it doesn't like because there are too many items attached to it pushing it beyond the 9999 limit. 16:06 wizzyrea I was going to ahve her look at the preliminary changes to the sql report library. Wikimedia table structure is a PITA 16:06 wizzyrea aha 16:06 owen wizzyrea: She's traveling today, haven't seen her in here 16:05 wizzyrea nengard about? 16:04 jcamins DRUlm: You were right. Completely randomly all the files I had left exceeded the maximum file size that my computer can handle. 15:49 owen sorry, wrong tab 15:48 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4208 blocker, P1, ---, chris@bigballofwax.co.nz, NEW, Many submit buttons are not translatable in 3.2 15:48 owen On opac-detail? that's what jwagner reported had been broken by my bug 4208 cleanup 15:46 jcamins I hope I don't have to go down to batches of 1000. But I guess if that's the way it is, that's th eway it is. I'll give it a try. Just getting our data in would be a relief, at this point. 15:45 DRUlm jcamins: Hmmmmm. Could it be a timeout for 6000 records? I have only loaded about 1000 this way - Yes, using Firefox 3.x in Windows 15:45 jcamins DRUlm: Question: Are you using a Windows client? 15:44 jcamins Oh well. I guess I will try again. Maybe a restart. 15:44 jcamins DRUlm: It's very odd... I can't import more than 6000 records at a time, and now it won't let me import another batch (problematic since I only go through 25/30). 15:43 jcamins DRUlm: I wish I knew what the problem was with this. It's driving me batty. 15:41 brendan thanks 15:41 gmcharlt owen: yes 15:41 gmcharlt brendan: yes 15:41 owen Anyone have some Syndetics credentials they could loan me for testing purposes? 15:41 brendan gmcharlt so are you doubling up all of your commits (one to git.koha and one to git.koha-c) ? 15:40 DRUlm jcamins: we have loaded hundreds of times a-OK 15:40 DRUlm jcamins: nope not since Koha 3.0 Beta 15:37 owen gmcharlt: Looks like most of the existing errors are similar to the ones I attempted to correct with the patch to opac-detail.tmpl. But jwagner reports that my patch broke syndetics content so I didn't plow on 15:37 * wizzyrea sort of remembers something about that from a long time ago 15:36 gmcharlt ... to use when the patron has overdues 15:36 jcamins Has anyone ever encountered problems with Stage MARC Records for Import not working after 25 batches? 15:34 wizzyrea too long though 15:34 wizzyrea I like this: http://www.wavsource.com/snds_2010-05-02_1418412952466658/sfx/arrow_x.wav 15:34 jwagner gotta run, back online later. 15:33 wizzyrea gmcharlt: hahahaha 15:33 jwagner There is the item checkin message that can be emailed if the patron is configured. Maybe adapt that to a circ slip for checkins? 15:33 gmcharlt rather, http://www.wavsource.com/snds_2010-05-02_1418412952466658/sfx/cash_register_x.wav 15:33 gmcharlt e.g., http://www.wavsource.com/sfx/sfx.htm 15:33 gmcharlt clearly we need a different default circ sound 15:32 wizzyrea >.> 15:32 wizzyrea kind of like the grocery store 15:32 wizzyrea at end of transaction 15:32 * owen needs that for displaying his IRC window. Must maximize distraction. 15:31 wizzyrea or even showed the receipt 15:31 jwagner Now, let's not spoil the circ staff -- keep the cool gadgets for the systems people!!! 15:31 wizzyrea maybe an alternative patron screen that autorefreshed 15:31 wizzyrea and put the patron screen on that 15:31 wizzyrea what if you put in a library something like http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/usb-gadgets/c609/?cpg=froogle 15:31 gmcharlt prove xt/author/translatable-templates.t 15:31 gmcharlt there is 15:31 wizzyrea jwagner: 15:30 owen Is there a way for me to test-run the translation script to detect the problems? 15:30 gmcharlt owen: thanks 15:30 owen gmcharlt: I'd be happy to 15:28 wizzyrea I thought there was some drama re: syndetics links 15:28 gmcharlt mostly in syndetics contents links 15:28 jwagner If the issue is wanting to see the patron screen, have a separate tab/window open on the checkin screen, check everything in, then refresh the patron screen. Wouldn't that do the same thing of assuring the patron everything's clear? 15:27 gmcharlt owen: any chance I could sweettalk you into a doing a followup for 4208 - there are still a bunch of tmpl_ifs embedded in tags in various OPAC templates 15:26 * wizzyrea wonders why more people don't do that anyway 15:26 wizzyrea one with checkin and one with checkout 15:25 owen ...and the latter is more accurate. 15:25 * wizzyrea could imagine a scenario where a librarian has *gasp* two tabs open 15:25 owen I don't see how that fastidious process is any more efficient than checking them in one by one 15:25 wizzyrea dunno, I'm actually in favor of getting rid of the return all completely 15:25 jwagner Why not just use the existing Koha Circ, Checkin screen then? 15:25 * jwagner has dumb moment 15:24 wizzyrea which takes time 15:24 wizzyrea as it stands currently 15:24 wizzyrea so if you were being fastidious with that stack of books, you would have to look at each one, verify that it was on their list, prior to hitting "return all" 15:24 wizzyrea ^^ 15:23 owen We have patrons who insist we check things in on the spot because we've missed checking in their items in the past 15:23 wizzyrea I used winnebago, and I have to admit, sending one request to checkin a bunch of items was more satisfying than checkin -> wait 15:23 wizzyrea I think that's true, to some extent. 15:23 owen Maybe it just feels faster to scan,scan,scan and process? 15:23 wizzyrea people are weird 15:22 wizzyrea sometimes they want to watch you check in their items 15:22 wizzyrea because I know a lot of them liked the winnebago function 15:22 owen Why is there an issue with the patron having to wait? What are they waiting for? 15:22 wizzyrea I would actually be curious to ask my librarians about this 15:22 wizzyrea (or that you haven't verified are existent in your stack) 15:21 wizzyrea so the stack stays at the library, you don't check in any books that aren't existent on the desk 15:21 wizzyrea I was thinking that a "print exceptions" that outputs the exceptions to paper for later processing 15:20 owen And then wait for the report of any problems while they wait? Or no? 15:20 owen You scan them all in while the patron is standing there 15:20 owen wizzyrea: Tell me more about the transaction 15:20 wizzyrea BUT an expedited batch checkin was a feature that was really good about winnebago 15:19 wizzyrea since likely you won't have those items in front of you 15:19 wizzyrea it makes more sense to renew all if you can 15:19 wizzyrea I'm just as happy to get rid of it on that screen 15:19 owen wizzyrea: I can maybe see the use case you describe. But I really don't see a reason for a "return all" function otherwise. 15:19 wizzyrea it's not perfect (local holds + sip = yikes) but it's better than it was before we put some $$ in 15:18 wizzyrea though the sip stuff you should have now that we paid for should handle holds better 15:18 wizzyrea we have the same problem with our chutes 15:18 jwagner And to add an extra wrinkle, one of my sites uses their self-check machine for checkins -- pile everything on the reader (RFID) and let it go. That doesn't handle holds too well either.... 15:17 wizzyrea it's just an idea 15:16 wizzyrea s/them/items 15:16 wizzyrea instead of making them process them with a line of impatient patrons waiting 15:16 wizzyrea check in items, then print out the exceptions for the staff member to go back to 15:16 wizzyrea you can scan scan scan 15:15 wizzyrea with the batch checkin 15:15 wizzyrea because it makes them wait 15:15 wizzyrea so being fastidious isn't good customer service 15:15 wizzyrea normally, when you do this, you have an impatient patron waiting in front of you 15:15 wizzyrea is that staff don't verify that the stack of books is the same as the stack in front of you (unless you're being very fastidious) 15:14 wizzyrea well the real problem, as we see it, of return all 15:14 owen What's the advantage? 15:14 wizzyrea then print a list of exceptions 15:14 wizzyrea and check them all in 15:14 wizzyrea like, batch checkin 15:14 wizzyrea where you can scan a list of items 15:13 wizzyrea what about adding a winnebago like function to returns 15:11 wizzyrea yea, 3514 is on NEKLS' list as well 14:57 jwagner owen, I know -- mine was a quick & dirty workaround, not a fix. 14:57 owen ...I can see how handling multiple on-hold returns would be difficult. Maybe any multiple-return function should skip those cases and ask the user to handle them individually 14:56 owen Even if that patch is accepted it won't be a real fix for that bug. We need the function to actually work! 14:50 jwagner I've since updated that locally to turn off the returns column on both details and checkout tab (originally only did on details tab) 14:49 jwagner I sent the patch in August, but it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere. 14:48 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3514 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Returning items through patron Details tab doesn't activate all circulation functions 14:48 jwagner Bug 3514 I think -- I did a workaround to turn off the returns column 14:47 owen jwagner: Does that bug have a good-n-high severity? 14:46 jwagner I think there's some value to having renew all, but no value to return all (so long as that bug exists that doesn't trigger holds etc.) 14:44 owen Remove both "return all" AND "renew all" or just "return all?" 14:44 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4416 normal, P5, ---, oleonard@myacpl.org, NEW, renew all and return all buttons too close together 14:44 * owen is trying to decide on the fix for Bug 4416 14:44 * chris_n thinks the weather station is a bit off this morning 14:44 munin chris_n: The current temperature in Erwin, North Carolina is -8.0�C (10:24 AM EDT on May 05, 2010).

Just so it is stated? 13:03 kmkale bye all 13:03 kmkale chris_n: gotta run now but will look at it and ask your help tomorrow. 13:03 chris_n we just have to write a module for css, foo, foobar, etc 13:02 chris_n ie. the final print screen can have csv, xml, pdf, css, foo, foobar, <your_choice_here>, etc. 13:01 chris_n I wrote the new labels/card modules so that it should be easy to add other export formats 13:01 kmkale but its controlable as its from the staff interface. let me try.. now that I can read perl ;) and know there are ppl like you who tolerate my bugging 13:01 chris_n kmkale: I'd be glad to help with that sort of thing if you conclude it is reasonably doable 13:00 chris_n in theory the screen and print should be the same (72ppi), but in reality screens now run more ppi than that 12:58 owen CSS allows you to specify measurements in points, so technically the spec is designed to handle print as well as screen 12:58 chris_n I'm almost sure it uses css formatting to produce an html page which is then printed 12:58 chris_n kmkale: you might take a look at the quick spine label code 12:58 kmkale i would be happy if i get something usable with firefox 12:57 kmkale I had done a college icard print job once with this friend i mentioned and it worked out well but of course we never did cross browser testing 12:56 chris_n kmkale: yup 12:56 kmkale chris_n it would atleast allow us to print in our languages. 12:56 owen I've never done CSS-for-print testing 12:56 owen There will *always* be cross-browser formatting issue, but I don't know to what extent we might expect it 12:55 chris_n to address the font/unicode/etc issues 12:55 chris_n owen: right 12:55 * chris_n thinks the quick spine label code uses css 12:55 owen Rather than through PDF generation? 12:55 chris_n ie labels print ok from one browser, but are messed up from another 12:54 chris_n owen: if we went to formating labels for printing using css would there be issues with cross browser compatibility with the css? 12:54 owen chris_n: I don't think I understand the question 12:54 chris_n kmkale: I'm for anything that improves the label/card capabilities in koha 12:53 chris_n owen: any comment on that? 12:53 kmkale chris_n: I know someone who used to work with the college earlier. He is good. I'l ask 12:53 chris_n and I wonder about rendering variations across browser platforms in that case 12:52 chris_n kmkale: maybe, but I'm not css wizard ;-) 12:50 kmkale chris_n: about that unicode label printing can we not do the labels with css? 12:50 schuster oh we are in rare form this morning... Someone must have taken that nap under their desk yesterday.... No wonder he disappeared for awhile...:) 12:45 owen I don't know but some of my patrons could use a soap-pac! *ba-dum bum* 12:44 chris_n schuster: I think that biblibre might know answers to those questions iirc 12:44 jdavidb Howdy, schuster and chris_n! :) 12:43 schuster question 2 - does anyone know any catalogs currently using it? 12:43 schuster I'll ask - has anyone here played/implemented the sopac? 12:43 chris_n and owen, jdavidb, and jwagner :) 12:43 chris_n heya schuster 12:42 schuster Howdy all!
