03:50 Amit_Gupta         heya all Good morning ;)
03:55 cait               morning#koha
03:55 eythian            you're up early
03:56 cait               morning hdl
03:56 cait               eythian: not that early
03:56 eythian            <6am is the middle of the night
03:57 Judit1             :) so right
03:57 cait               hm k
03:58 druthb             hi, cait. :)
03:58 cait               I doubt druthb should be awake
04:08 * Oak              waves
04:08 druthb             hi, Oak!
04:08 * druthb           offers cookies.
04:08 Oak                hello druthb :)
04:09 * Oak              takes cookie and runs away
04:10 druthb             :P
04:11 druthb             no need to run away!
04:11 Oak                cait not around?
04:11 druthb             she is
04:11 cait               I am
04:11 cait               but I am not going to take the cookies away from you
04:11 * cait             isn't that mean
04:12 Oak                ah, good
04:12 * Oak              offers cait half cookie
04:20 cait               thx
04:21 Oak                oh don't mention. that's what friends are for. eat wisely. don't drop any crumbs on floor.
04:22 Oak                druthb, what happened to bug 1234 :)
04:22 huginn             04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=1234 enhancement, P2, ---, paul.poulain, NEW , Parameter: Bar Code # Prefix for book / patron searching
04:23 druthb             I got some basic bits working, but autogenerating codes is *not* working at the moment, for reasons that are unclear to me.
04:23 Oak                ah, a mysterious bug. i like it.
04:24 Oak                requires detective work to be fixed!
04:24 Oak                not just mad perl skills
04:25 druthb             by the time I got that much done, it was 1 AM, and I'd been working for 19 hours with two short breaks.   Brain was *fried.*
04:26 druthb             (So I went to bed for five hours, then got up and did it *again*....  )
04:26 cait               I hope you don't mean 19 hours again?
04:27 Oak                19 hours again is not nice. it's like punishing your brain and body. and eyes.
04:28 Oak                besides, if you can't figure something out after hours of trying, the best idea is to go for a walk :)
04:28 Oak                or sleep on it
04:30 cait               I agree withOak
04:30 cait               go to bed
04:31 druthb             If this bib extract I'm running works--and so far, it is--then I'll get it started loading into the test box, and go to bed.
04:45 druthb             hooray!  It worked.
04:45 * druthb           dances off to bed.
04:45 Oak                comical
04:45 cait               hope she stays there for more than 5 hours
05:00 Rivirin            hiya all
05:05 Waylon             okay.... hosted servers are liveserver1 and liveserver2, ideally id like to circular replicate... only a office server is used for biblio adding/updates due to the office being on ADSL.. office staff would get fustrated with latency and if adsl goes down, office can still function. Problem with this.. how do i get the updates into the circular replication, without the office being inside the
05:05 Waylon             loop? my idea, is a script on liveserver1 gets a list of changed biblios from zebraqueue table, and selects the biblios/biblioitems/items from office server, updates the liveservers with them.... what do you think?
05:08 eythian            zebraqueue is cleared when zebra reindexes (I expect), so you'll miss changes.
05:08 eythian            I think it'll get terribly out of sync very quickly.
05:09 eythian            on the other hand, I'm not sure of another solution
05:09 Waylon             Hmm.. so i need to write a sub for change notifications.
05:10 Waylon             put it inside modbibliomarc.
05:10 eythian            if mysql can do triggers yet, you could have everything that goes into zebraqueue also go into another table
05:12 Waylon             yeah.... interesting..
05:13 eythian            although, I'd say try your staff over the ADSL connection. Perhaps have a local squid proxy or something, perhaps it won't be too slow.
05:14 Waylon             hmm.. though.. they're moving office.. and will only be able to have wireless.. so even more a bad idea...
05:14 eythian            what's wrong with wireless?
05:14 Waylon             triggers... could work.
05:15 eythian            probably lower latency than ADSL, given telecom keeps the interleave time high
05:16 Waylon             not in new zealand.. so i have no idea how reliable.
05:16 eythian            oh right
05:16 Judit1             hi, sorry to interrupt
05:17 Judit1             but you know the list you can create inKoha
05:17 Waylon             hi, judit1.
05:17 Judit1             if you choose to create a public list, that means it is public to all branches
05:17 Judit1             so patrons from different branches can see it too- sinceit is public
05:18 eythian            yes
05:18 eythian            unsure if 'IndependentBranches' affects this or not though.
05:19 eythian            I think it probably should...
05:19 eythian            but whether it does is a different story.
05:19 Judit1             okay
05:19 Judit1             so is there a setting i should check, you are telling
05:20 eythian            yes, but beware that that will affect a large amount of how the system behaves.
05:20 eythian            so you probably won't actually want to change it.
05:20 Judit1             which tab is this IndependentBranches in?
05:21 eythian            not sure. Use the search box :)
05:21 Judit1             okay, thanks for the warning
05:21 eythian            I think it's spelt wrong in the pref
05:21 Judit1             No system preferences matched your search for IndependentBranches.
05:21 Judit1             :)
05:21 eythian            IndependantBranches
05:22 Judit1             dont prevent it says
05:22 Judit1             staff (but not superlibrarians) from modifying objects (holds, items, patrons, etc.) belonging to other libraries.
05:22 eythian            OK
05:22 eythian            So basically, yes. Lists in one place are visible elsewhere.
05:22 Judit1             so if that is set to prevent- my list would be public to the branch it created it
05:22 eythian            maybe.
05:23 Judit1             :)
05:23 eythian            if it was coded like that, and I think it should be, but don't know that it is.
05:24 Judit1             thank you
05:25 Waylon             yeah.. triggers will work... could just make it do timestamp, biblio that was changed

05:27 cait               9xx are local
05:28 cait               not marc standard
05:28 Waylon             isn't 942 where biblionumbers are stored?
05:28 cait               and lists behaviour is not changed by independentbranches - i think public is always public to all. not sure it should be different.
05:28 eythian            yeah, I realised that a moment later
05:28 kmkale             Namaskar #koha
05:28 cait               hi kmkale
05:28 cait               :)
05:29 eythian            cait: it would seem strange seeing stuff in a library you don't have any access to. But unless someone asks me to change it, I've got plenty to keep me busy :)
05:29 kmkale             Namaste cait
05:29 eythian            hi kmkale
05:29 kmkale             Namaste eythian
05:29 cait               eythian: sometimes you might be able to order it
05:29 cait               and people will want it to display - so it will get really complicated
05:30 cait               and what will you show to people not logged in?
05:30 eythian            well, I'd just make it its own syspref or something
05:30 cait               lists show always
05:30 eythian            hmm, that's a good point
05:34 cait               @wunder Konstanz
05:34 huginn             cait: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Taegerwilen, Germany is 19.8�C (7:30 AM CEST on June 29, 2011). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 81%. Dew Point: 16.0�C. Pressure: 29.92 in 1013.1 hPa (Steady).
05:34 cait               hm
05:35 cait               hmm. supposed to rain today...
05:36 cait               eyhian: not saying it's impossible to solve - but will get complicated :)

06:16 paul_p             hello world, sorry to be a little bit late (problem to connect the internet from the hotel...)
06:16 kmkale             hi paul_p

06:17 BobB               bonjour paul_p
06:17 alex_a             BobB: a meeting ?
06:17 wahanui            a meeting is 14 June 2011 1800 UTC+0
06:17 kmkale             Agenda for today is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon11_Volunteers#Next_Meeting_:_Wednesday_June_29_6.00_UTC
06:18 BobB               Thanks w_bot.  But we've missed it!
06:18 BobB               OK, June 29
06:18 kmkale             paul_p slef BobB shall we have this meeting today or have it as part of text general irc meeting on July 6th?
06:18 kmkale             *next
06:18 slef               wahanui: forget a meeting
06:18 wahanui            slef: I forgot meeting
06:18 BobB               What if we make KohaCon11 a priority agenda item for that meeting?  We might get more there?
06:19 kmkale             not sure we can if people are not interested :(
06:19 paul_p             I think we're here so we could/should have our meeting
06:19 slef               I think you'll get more there, but personally my attendance is uncertain.
06:19 paul_p             (now)
06:19 kmkale             July 6th my attendance is not sure
06:20 paul_p             ok, so meeting now, definetly ;-)
06:20 BobB               Well, this is an important community event.  The community has to be prepared to deal with it, if its listed for discussion.  No?
06:20 kmkale             ok
06:20 slef               I think we're here so we could/should have our meeting and flag up anything we would like to also ask the general irc meeting on July 6th, so even if kmkale is not there, it can be asked.
06:20 kmkale             lets move on with the agenda then
06:20 paul_p             sleff++
06:20 BobB               Agreed
06:21 paul_p             agreed
06:21 kmkale             #topic We need to get an idea about who / how many are coming for the Kohacon11
06:22 BobB               How many have registered?
06:22 paul_p             (note I must leave in 40mn, i've a training this week. Now i'm having breakfast with my laptop... eating french croissant near my keyboard...)
06:22 kmkale             I guess kmkale BobB paul_p  are certainties ;)
06:22 BobB               avec cafe, j'espere
06:22 kmkale             BobB: about 130+
06:22 paul_p             Bobb: nope, with chocolate, i don't like coffee.
06:23 BobB               Irma and I have not registered yet.  But we are coming.  Will register this weekend.
06:23 BobB               paul_p, that's allowed.
06:23 paul_p             do I have registred ? not sure. but i'm coming
06:23 slef               130 registered already? Cool
06:23 BobB               130 is a good number, already
06:24 BobB               That's bigger than Wellington and probably Plano too
06:24 BobB               So biggest KohaCon yet!
06:24 paul_p             kmkale: how many from india, and how many from foreign countries ?
06:24 kmkale             Hope so. I was hoping for many more :(
06:25 kmkale             http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/registration see the countrywise graph
06:25 paul_p             kmkale: it's in 6 months ! many will register in september I think
06:25 paul_p             and maybe we should/could communicate a little bit more on the koha mailing lists, ...
06:25 slef               #link http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/registration
06:25 kmkale             #idea communicate more on mailing lists
06:26 kmkale             agreed will start doing so
06:26 paul_p             which country is NG ?
06:26 paul_p             NiGeria ?
06:26 kmkale             yes
06:27 kmkale             ok. A few people have asked us for formal invitation letters for obtaining visa
06:27 paul_p             so, you can remove 20 attendees. I suspect most of them won't have the money to travel. In previous conferences, we had many registrations from Africa, then came the question "can you sponsor my travel"...
06:27 kmkale             if anyone needs those please let me know
06:27 paul_p             I think we may get a feww ppl from NG or Africa, but not 21 !
06:28 BobB               Visa's were a problem in Wellington.  Not for NZ so much, but for people wanting to transit Australia.
06:28 kmkale             paul_p: 2 from NG have requested invitation letters. So those 2 look certain
06:28 paul_p             well, no one from France, so i haven't registered yet ;-)
06:29 kmkale             I am traveling to Kenya next week so will speak about the conference to the library people there :)
06:29 BobB               #idea: warn people to arrange their visas early
06:29 BobB               kmkale +1
06:29 kmkale             BobB: yes. getting visa sorted out early is a good idea
06:29 kmkale             ok shall we move on to the next item on the agenda?
06:30 BobB               yes
06:30 paul_p             OK, i've registered now
06:30 kmkale             #topic We need more papers / presentations
06:31 kmkale             slef: are you coming?
06:31 kmkale             lets discuss 2a also with this topic
06:31 kmkale             #idea Since we don't have many papers and there are abstracts waiting to be reviewed for very long, I propose we abolish reviews and accept the abstracts and papers without any review system.
06:31 slef               kmkale: not unless we get more clients, or people use http://www.software.coop/info/give/ a lot more.
06:33 kmkale             slef: would you like to make a remote presentation if you absolutely cant make it? I think people would like to know about how software.coop works. Its a novelty here
06:33 BobB               I think there should be some review.
06:34 BobB               I could help with that, but not until August, realistically
06:34 slef               kmkale: One of us would, if you think it would be liked. I bought a camera which can be used as a webcam last week, but I have not yet used it as that, so I cannot help with technical requirements yet.
06:34 paul_p             I think there should be at least a small review, to eliminate out of topic propositions
06:34 kmkale             I have assigned reviewers from people who had registered for the job. But the reviewers have not responded to the review requests or reminders about it
06:35 kmkale             so may be you guys can take this pointb up in the general meeting?
06:35 slef               kmkale: have I been assigned to review some?
06:35 kmkale             that we need reviewers to look at the abstracts?
06:36 paul_p             for example, what does "information literacy and lbrary and information science" contains ?
06:36 kmkale             slef: you have full admin rights remember? You can self assign if you are interested in any topic
06:36 paul_p             sounds very vague to me...
06:36 slef               paul_p: needs abstract to know.
06:36 kmkale             paul_p: that has been reviewed by Space_Librarian and an updated abstract has been called for
06:37 slef               kmkale: I know, but I am unsure if I should do so.
06:37 kmkale             slef: please do if you have the time and inclination
06:37 paul_p             slef & kmkale : right
06:37 paul_p             kmkale: i've registered as "tipaul". Could you give me permission to review pls ?
06:37 kmkale             yes paul_p sure
06:38 slef               ok
06:38 BobB               I'm happy to make a presentation, but I'm struggling to find the right topic.
06:39 BobB               An update on my governance paper from Wellington might not be right for the audience
06:39 paul_p             as we have more than 1 room, i've suggested kmkale to have one dedicated to "koha demo". With one session=one module (acquisition / circulating / ...)
06:40 kmkale             yes paul_p but the conference venue is in a self contained building ghousing the hall and canteen
06:41 kmkale             if we need another room / hall it will have to be a separate building
06:41 kmkale             is that ok?
06:41 BobB               How far away?
06:41 kmkale             for hackfest I can get adjoining classrooms
06:41 kmkale             BobB: about 50 feet
06:42 BobB               Well that's not far
06:42 paul_p             so it's nothing (except you must count 15mn between each session to change room/building
06:42 kmkale             yes. We can have boards declaring way to conference and way to demo etc
06:43 paul_p             kmkale: for the main conference, don't we have 4 rooms already ? /me remember reading or speaking of this previously...
06:44 kmkale             paul_p: yes if needed. The main hall can accomodate about 250
06:44 kmkale             if we exceed that we can get more halls
06:44 kmkale             but all halls are in separate buildings on the campus
06:44 kmkale             alll halls are interconnected with polycom 2 way video conferencing uints
06:45 paul_p             kmkale: I think it could be usefull to have more than 1 course at a given time. "i'm not interested in Koha circulation module, OK, I go to 'how to migrate from ILS-XXX to Koha' "
06:45 kmkale             paul_p: I agree but we dont have enough presenters to fill one hall for three days. if we split the conference will be over in a day
06:45 kmkale             :(
06:46 paul_p             (of course, this is possible only if we have enough papers ;-) )
06:46 BobB               Then we go to Agra?  :)
06:46 paul_p             kmkale: don't be too anxious : many more ppl will register and more ppl will propose topics.
06:47 kmkale             I request you to take this up in the next general meeting and put out a call or papers and for people to attend
06:47 paul_p             we're 6 months ahead from the conference, and geeks don't like to plan too early...
06:47 BobB               Yes, but we should also set a timeframe.
06:47 kmkale             paul_p: I will ne in Kenya next week. But once I am back
06:47 paul_p             kmkale: yep, we will.
06:47 BobB               ..for papers at least
06:47 kmkale             I plan to send out reminders about the call for papers etc
06:48 paul_p             kmkale++
06:48 kmkale             paul_p: I have enrolled you as a riviewer
06:49 BobB               I think until there is a draft program, many people won't get motivated to register and make their plans
06:49 kmkale             Shall we move on to 3) Start working on conference schedule as per papers / abstracts already submitted or committed that it will be done ?
06:49 kmkale             ok that brings us to 3 nicely :)
06:49 kmkale             #topic Start working on conference schedule as per papers / abstracts already submitted or committed that it will be done
06:49 kmkale             Joann has graciously agreed to do the keynote :)
06:50 kmkale             and we have 6 or 7 papers, so shal we start a draft of the program?
06:50 kmkale             or is it too early?
06:50 paul_p             I agree with bobb. we should start a draft program
06:50 slef               if they're different topics, we could
06:50 kmkale             slef: they are
06:51 paul_p             that will motivate ppl to register and submit papers.
06:51 BobB               Before the keynote, will there be some sort of official welcome?
06:51 kmkale             BobB: yes
06:52 BobB               Cool.  Even people from India may not have been to Maharastra before, so some sort of 'welcome to country' would be a nice touch.
06:52 kmkale             any ideas about how the program should be arranged? Or should I go ahead and make a draft based on past discussions and papers and send it out on the lists as draft?
06:53 kmkale             there *WILL* be some speeches by VPM people at the start for welcome and introductions and also at the end for thanks giving etc I guess
06:53 kmkale             we are planning a cultural event on one evening
06:53 paul_p             I think there should be a part dedicated to Koha itself (history / features / future), a part dedicated to technical things, and a part dedicated to OpenSource in general (integrating Koha with other OSS)
06:54 kmkale             and if we get sponsors a conference dinner
06:54 BobB               1. Welcome to Thane   2.  Welcome to KohaCon11   3.  Keynote
06:54 BobB               Cultural event ++
06:54 kmkale             BobB: yes
06:55 slef               paul_p: s/OSS/FOSS
06:55 * paul_p           must leave in less than 10mn
06:55 BobB               4.  Morning break.  5.  First paper.  6.  Second paper.  7.  Lunch
06:55 kmkale             3 a ) If some people would like to make a remote presentation I need to know what facilities will be required on our side
06:55 BobB               (I like lunch)
06:55 slef               ok, I'm sure this is old news. 3 days - how many sessions each day?
06:55 kmkale             :)
06:55 paul_p             didn't we say 4 or 6 ?
06:55 kmkale             slef: three
06:56 kmkale             morning noon and post tea break
06:56 kmkale             two papers per session
06:56 slef               start and end times for each?
06:56 paul_p             OK, 6 papers per day then. ageed
06:56 BobB               Do all presentations need to be one hour?
06:56 kmkale             morning 9.30 am
06:56 kmkale             post lunch 1.30 pm
06:57 slef               yeah, one at a time, please
06:57 kmkale             post tea 3.00 pm ???
06:57 slef               morning 9.30- when?
06:57 slef               11?
06:57 wahanui            11 is totally tolerable
06:57 slef               wahanui: botsnack
06:57 wahanui            :)
06:57 kmkale             slef: are you porposing that we start the morning sessions at 11am?
06:58 kmkale             *proposing
06:58 slef               no, end the first session at 11
06:58 slef               for coffee break
06:58 kmkale             we can if we start at 9.00
06:58 slef               or tea, I guess, in India
06:58 kmkale             yup
06:58 kmkale             ok how about this
06:58 wahanui            i guess this is a lost case
06:58 kmkale             start at 10 have one paper
06:59 slef               then a short session 11.15-12.15, then 13.30-14.30, then 15.00-16.30?
06:59 paul_p             starting at 10 is late according to me (but it depends on indian usual hours)
06:59 kmkale             break for tea start again at 11.30 have one more paper break at 12.30
06:59 kmkale             break for lunch 12.30 to 1.30
06:59 kmkale             1.30 to 2.30 one more paper
07:00 kmkale             2.30 to 2.45 tea break?
07:00 kmkale             then two papers on the trot from 2.45 to 4.45
07:00 kmkale             how does that sound?
07:00 clrh               hi
07:00 wahanui            niihau, clrh
07:01 BobB               Its time for paul_p to go, and I must soon also
07:01 kmkale             VPM usually starts at 9.00
07:01 slef               so that's 10-11.15, 11.30-12.30, 13.30-14.30, 14.45-16.45
07:01 BobB               Then we shouldn't start later than 9.30 in my opinion
07:01 paul_p             sounds OK, except for the starting time.
07:01 paul_p             I think 9:30 is better too.
07:02 slef               yeah, I'd put the 2h slot first, making it 9.15-11.15, with a longer tea break in afternoon
07:02 paul_p             and havin 1hour 1/2 for the lunch break
07:02 kmkale             slef: I agree for the two hour slot early morning
07:02 kmkale             people are fresh
07:02 paul_p             for a large audience, just 1 hour for the lunch break won't be enough
07:02 slef               9.15-11.15, 11.30-12.30, 14.00-15.00, 15.30-16.30?
07:02 kmkale             slef++
07:03 slef               this is for 31st, 1st and 2nd?
07:03 paul_p             you discuss 5mn with the speaker, you find your colleague/friend, you head for a restaurant... it's already too late !
07:03 kmkale             slef: yes
07:03 paul_p             slef++
07:03 slef               ok, I'm creating the schedule time blocks
07:03 kmkale             so we need 18 papers
07:03 kmkale             atleast
07:04 kmkale             #topic accommodation assistance if required
07:04 kmkale             http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/accommodation
07:04 kmkale             also let me know if anyone need invitation letters etc for visa
07:04 slef               #link http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/accommodation
07:05 kmkale             guys thats it from my side. Any questions?
07:06 slef               only what we need to ask next general meeting?
07:06 BobB               Well, given we almost cancelled, we've had a productive meeting, i think
07:06 kmkale             we need papers and riviewers
07:06 BobB               and registrations!
07:06 paul_p             slef: we need paper submission and reviewers
07:06 kmkale             yep them too :)
07:06 kmkale             so if you could drive that in the next general meeting
07:07 kmkale             I will be most grateful :)
07:07 BobB               We'll try to whip up some enthusiasm at the next general meeting
07:07 kmkale             shall we close?
07:07 BobB               Then we should meet a week after that?
07:07 slef               public schedule is still blank, but admins can see http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/manager/timeBlocks now
07:08 kmkale             good work slef :)
07:08 kmkale             slef++
07:08 BobB               slef +
07:08 slef               BobB: yes, a short meeting to see what effect trying to whip up has had, and decide what to do next about that?
07:09 BobB               +1
07:09 kmkale             are we missing one block on 1st?
07:09 paul_p             slef++, but i not admin yet, so can't see...
07:09 slef               kmkale: hrm, possible. I'll go fix

07:09 kmkale             ok time and dat for that meeting?
07:09 kmkale             paul_p: would you like admin rights?
07:10 paul_p             ok, it's really time to leave for me. Or i'll be late at my training !
07:10 kmkale             bye paul_p
07:10 paul_p             kmkale: yep.
07:10 kmkale             ok will do
07:10 paul_p             (it could be usefull I think)
07:10 slef               bye paul_p
07:10 BobB               thanks Paul, cheers
07:10 kmkale             ok time and date for that meeting?
07:10 kmkale             or a doodle poll again?
07:10 BobB               General meeting is when?
07:11 slef               kmkale: is this the opening keynote? Joann Ransom, Save the time of the reader
07:11 paul_p             kmkale, doodle pool I think.
07:11 slef               BobB: 6 july, 18 UTC I think.
07:11 * paul_p           leave now.
07:11 kmkale             slef: yes
07:11 kmkale             unless she chooses a different topic for the keynote and does this topis as a sseparate presentation
07:12 slef               kmkale: ok if I accept it and schedule it to the first block for now?
07:12 kmkale             yes slef
07:12 BobB               The following week is moving about, for me.  So Doodle poll, I think. But that week.
07:12 kmkale             slef: i guess it should be 2nd lecture of first morning
07:12 slef               http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/trackDirector/submissions/submissionsAccepted just gave me 404 not found :-/
07:12 kmkale             the first hour will be welcome and intros etc i guess
07:13 kmkale             slef: none have been accepted yet as even Jo has not submitted a full paper
07:13 kmkale             just an abstract
07:13 slef               still, 404 is a bit of an odd reply
07:13 kmkale             which has been approved so she has to submit a paper which once approved will come under submissions accepted
07:14 kmkale             slef: will take a look at it
07:14 BobB               I too have to go now.  OK?
07:15 slef               #action kmkale to poll for next meeting
07:15 kmkale             bye BobB
07:15 kmkale             ok so end meeting?>
07:15 slef               yep, we have lost all people
07:15 BobB               kmkale: bye and thanks - good meeting!
07:15 BobB               cheers slef

07:18 kf                 hi there
07:18 magnuse            kia ora #koha
07:18 Oak                kf
07:18 slef               kmkale: I can't schedule Joann's paper. Must I wait for the full paper?
07:18 kmkale             slef: yes
07:19 slef               well that sucks
07:19 slef               :)
07:19 kf                 Oak
07:19 kmkale             slef: we can change the conference settings to allow for non submission of full papers. But do we want to?
07:20 kmkale             I dont
07:20 kmkale             We want to print a souvenir from all papers and distribute it to all attendees :)
07:21 slef               kmkale: can we change it back later? I think showing something on the schedule now would encourage registrations and other papers
07:21 kmkale             Or atleast give a CD with them so we need full papers beforehand
07:21 kmkale             slef: let me have a look
07:21 slef               kmkale: ok. I've got to go now before I starve.
07:21 kmkale             bye slef and thanks
07:30 kmkale_            @later tell slef I could not change the compulsion for the paper submission. Please take a look at options available at http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/manager/schedConfSetup/2
07:30 huginn             kmkale_: The operation succeeded.
08:07 jransom            hi all
08:07 jransom            thought there was a kohacon11 meeting on now ...
08:08 jransom            mucked up the time conversions again!
08:14 slef               hi jransom, you did a bit.
08:14 slef               jransom: http://librarypolice.com/koha-meetings/2011/koha.2011-06-29-06.00.html
08:14 jransom            when was it?
08:14 jransom            coz i checked the conversion calendar, and raced home from a restaurant
08:15 jransom            and was certain i had it right
08:15 slef               2h ago
08:15 jransom            oh heck
08:15 jransom            ok - well i have to get this better organised.
08:15 slef               do you have a Linux?  date -d '06:00 UTC' should do the conversion for you
08:15 jransom            wonder if daylight saving had some impact
08:15 jransom            not linux.
08:15 slef               get one :)
08:16 jransom            i know
08:16 jransom            i should
08:16 slef               to be fair, you can probably get date for Windows... and Mac OS X has it already too
08:17 jransom            only 3 people ?
08:17 jransom            i feel even worse now ....
08:17 slef               4... paul_p arrived late
08:17 jransom            still ...
08:17 slef               yeah, not top performance
08:17 slef               but we put the schedule framework up
08:17 jransom            you reckon this conference will get off the ground?
08:18 jransom            i bloody hope so - having paid for tickets and accommodation
08:18 slef               kmkale said 130 registrations so there are enough people
08:18 jransom            cool - thats good.
08:18 slef               the problem is encouraging enough talks
08:18 jransom            just cnference speakers then
08:18 slef               I feel that posting a schedule outline may help.
08:18 mtj                heya pholks
08:18 jransom            wonder what the hesitation is
08:18 slef               Is the "save the time of the reader" your keynote, btw?
08:19 mtj                i've just booking my mumbai flights last week
08:19 jransom            heya mtj
08:19 jransom            who are you?
08:19 slef               Well, I've no money left in our community budget since NZ and replacing a community server unexpectedly
08:19 slef               wahanui: mtj?
08:19 wahanui            i guess mtj is right :)
08:19 jransom            (not being rude - just that i don't know yu yet :)
08:19 slef               not helpful :)
08:19 mtj                jo - might see if i can stay in youse hotel,
08:20 jransom            mtj: who are you?
08:20 slef               mtj is from a kohaaloha box, so guess?
08:20 slef               mtj: are you really on IRC as root, or does your computer fib?
08:20 jransom            kohaaloha is mason
08:21 mtj                meh, my nick info isnt very helpful tho :/
08:21 jransom            so you wont get there slef?
08:21 slef               jransom: not unless we get more clients or people give us money http://www.software.coop/info/give/
08:21 jransom            thats a shame - i was looking forward to catching up again
08:22 mtj                slef: oooh, my irc proxy is running as root :/
08:22 slef               mtj: ow!
08:22 jransom            mtj: is that bad?
08:23 mtj                yeah, its a liittle norty..
08:23 slef               jransom: if there's a bug in his irc proxy, an attacker would get control of his whole server.
08:23 jransom            hey magnus!
08:23 jransom            i'm trying to find the name of the hotel in mumbai
08:24 jransom            i'm crashing in with Brooke and Ruth mtj
08:24 magnuse            kia ora jransom!
08:25 slef               oh dear I hope I haven't just done what I think I have
08:26 slef               phew... I hadn't
08:26 jransom            mtj - I'm crashing in on ruth and brooke
08:26 slef               I thought I had deleted the schedule time blocks I spent 15mins or so creating earlier
08:26 magnuse            oops
08:26 jransom            i think we might be staying at vihang
08:27 jransom            spending week prior in Goa - well panjim actually
08:27 magnuse            jransom: you said something about 3 weeks in india?
08:28 jransom            yup.
08:28 jransom            spending week in Goa,then week in mumbai then a week catching train to Delhi - Agra etc
08:28 slef               jransom: Is the "save the time of the reader" your keynote speech, btw?
08:28 magnuse            sounds like a good plan!
08:29 jransom            brooke and i are doing a roadie!
08:29 jransom            http://www.hotels.com/hotel/details.html?reviewOrder=date_newest_first&roomno=1&departureDate=10-28-11&destinationId=677380&rooms[0].numberOfAdults=2&tab=reviews&arrivalDate=10-23-11&hotelId=307310&validate=false&destination=Panaji%2C+India&tab=description#description
08:29 jransom            scrumptious :)
08:29 jransom            no - thats another talk i'm doing about making configuration settings from the point of view of getting good results for patron
08:30 jransom            i am doing keynote though
08:30 jransom            somewhat reluctantly as it is quite daunting preparing something stimulating and inspiring and miivational to this crowd
08:30 magnuse            all the talks are 1 hour? that's long...
08:30 jransom            i canttalk that long
08:31 jransom            i can't even pronounce 'bed' so Paul can understand !
08:31 slef               jransom: ok, I'll deschedule save the time of the reader for now.
08:31 jransom            no - i m doing that too
08:31 jransom            if you want it
08:31 magnuse            hehe, difiniiitli ;-)
08:31 slef               yes, we do, but I don't know when :)
08:32 slef               I want to publish an outline schedule soon as, so that it encourages more registrations and submissions
08:32 slef               @later tell kmkale I found the problem. The scheduler doesn't work without javascript. Sorry for the confusion.
08:32 huginn             slef: The operation succeeded.
08:33 jransom            i'm very relaxed about scheduling and happy to not present too so however it pans out is fine
08:34 slef               magnuse: I let the "all the talks are 1 hour" go for now.  We can fix that later when we have enough talks.
08:34 BobB               jransom: Hi
08:34 wahanui            salut, BobB
08:35 magnuse            slef: cool
08:35 slef               jransom: the opening keynote will be shorter anyway, because there's an intro from the hosts.
08:35 jransom            Hi Bob
08:36 BobB               sorry you missed the meeting
08:36 jransom            i am too!
08:36 jransom            i actually really tried
08:36 jransom            but stuffed up the time conversion
08:36 BobB               I use this to convert the times: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html
08:36 jransom            dragged the kids out the restaurant so id be home ontime ...
08:36 BobB               Unhappy kids?
08:37 jransom            no - they ok.just had to miss dessert
08:37 jransom            they'll live
08:37 jransom            so any ideas for genberating talks?
08:37 BobB               Do you know your hotel for KohaCon?  In Mumbai or Thane?
08:38 jransom            yes - we in thane
08:38 jransom            Vihang i think
08:38 jransom            Brooke knows
08:38 jransom            i'm crashing in her room (budget really tight)
08:38 jransom            we'll take turns on couch!
08:38 BobB               Lots to see, so have to spread the money eh!
08:39 jransom            i'll plough through emails and find out
08:39 jransom            yep - excatly
08:39 jransom            and we'll only sleep there
08:39 BobB               Won't see you in Goa sadly - can't travel till Friday before the conference.  Might go to Pune afterwards.
08:40 BobB               Would like to take Irma to Agra but don't think we have the time.
08:40 BobB               Will you go on from Agra to Varanasi?  THAT would be interesting!
08:42 slef               jransom: apologies if you get a strange email about Save the Time... because I just stepped it back to in-review
08:42 slef               Cool, we have our first entry on http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/schedule
08:43 jransom            ok - Vihangs' Inn
08:43 jransom            thats where brooke ruth and me are staying
08:43 BobB               Thanks Jo.
08:43 slef               I'll see if I can hack some other stuff into the schedule later this week.
08:43 magnuse            slef++
08:43 BobB               Not many registrations from USA yet.  I hope there'll be more.
08:43 jransom            yeah we going to agra too - i think its compulsory to visit taj mahal if in india
08:44 jransom            http://www.vihangsinn.com/
08:44 BobB               See it before you die!  :)
08:44 BobB               The Taj, not Vihangs Inn.  :)
08:44 magnuse            hehe
08:45 jransom            i keep getting so excited about india!
08:46 jransom            lol - that programme looks really inspiring slef :) pity your keynote presenter couldnt come up with an inspiring name
08:46 mtj                we are gonna try to stay at vihangs too
08:46 kf                 jransom: looks nice
08:46 jransom            they were the first to respond accurately to brookes inquiries - which we took asa good sign
08:47 jransom            its look clean and modern which is fine - and is in Thane
08:48 slef               hehehe just had a phone call telling me to send Nathan to go open the cellar so they could deliver some beer :)  I told them the hotel's phone number that they wanted instead.
08:49 jransom            hehe
08:51 jransom            slef: is there a place where we can suggest papers / presentations we'd like to hear or see presented?
08:51 jransom            or panel discussion topics?
08:52 slef               jransom: two options: persuade people to put in a submission and say that you encouraged them to submit a paper/presentation; or raise it in one of the meetings.
08:53 slef               jransom: I guess that's sort-of "no, not a formal one yet"
08:53 BobB               Jo, I need a topic.  Suggestions?
08:53 jransom            i'll put my thinking cap on.
08:54 magnuse            jransom: i put a wish under "Ideas for papers/wishlist" here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:KohaCon11 a long while ago, in lack of a better place
08:54 jransom            Maybe we could do that slef?
08:54 slef               eh? do what? :)
08:55 jransom            i quite like the idea of being able to add to a list of topics
08:55 jransom            set up a place where people can list topics etc they like to learn about
08:55 jransom            it might generate people to step forward and sign up to present
08:56 jransom            people might tae stinggranted what they do and not realise its inte
08:56 jransom            oops
08:56 jransom            people might take for granted what they do and not realise people are interested
08:56 magnuse            good point!
08:57 slef               jransom: sure. I think magnuse's place is fine. What we need is an easy way for people to add to it, I think.
08:57 jransom            ok cool.
08:58 jransom            lets post it to koha list
08:58 jransom            and link to it from koha-community site
08:58 slef               actually, if I move that onto http://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Category_talk:KohaCon11 then we get a groovy + button
08:58 slef               ok if I do that magnuse ?
08:58 slef               I don't like talk pages really, but the + button is useful for this.
08:59 magnuse            slef: fine with me!
08:59 magnuse            since we don't tend to use tha talk pages much a message to the list might be a good idea
08:59 slef               jransom: the link to add a suggestion is http://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Category_talk:KohaCon11&action=edit&section=new
09:00 slef               magnuse++
09:00 kf                 magnuse++ indeed :)
09:01 magnuse            ooh
09:01 jransom            trying to load it ....
09:02 magnuse            slef: what's that about a + button? i don't see it...
09:02 slef               magnuse: logged in?
09:02 magnuse            yup
09:03 slef               oh the chuffing nonsense mediawiki bleargh Grr :)
09:03 magnuse            hehe
09:03 mib_gle66c         hi, how can i display more information in the barcode in koha
09:03 slef               ok, I'll go see if I can add a contact form to www.koha-community.org - the rest of you help mib_gle66c please :)
09:05 kf                 mib_gle66c: can you describe what are you trying to do?
09:07 mib_gle66c         I want to display  callnumber and itemtype in addition to the barcode number in the barcode layout How can i do it
09:13 mib_gle66c         should i edit Label.pm
09:15 slef               That sounds like a label templating question.
09:16 slef               Have you seen/tried http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-4-manual-en/?ch=x5722#labellayouts ?
09:17 kf                 which version of koha are you using?
09:19 jransom            i jut can't get that link to open to a place where i can type stuff....
09:19 mib_gle66c         koha 3.0.2.06
09:19 jransom            wil try tomorrow getting late now
09:19 slef               jransom: yeah, I think I've got to add a post to http://koha-community.org then everyone can comment on it for a month
09:20 slef               the wiki does not do what I want :(
09:20 slef               have I mentioned before how much I dislike mediawiki? ;-)
09:21 slef               wikis are meant to be quick and easy (wiki wiki = quick in Hawaiian or something, doesn't it?). mediawiki seems to be neither far too often. :(
09:21 jransom            i dislike it intensely too
09:26 kf                 I dislike it too
09:26 kf                 I like dokuwiki
09:26 magnuse            i like mediawiki...
09:27 kf                 although the syntax for tables is nice in mediawiki
09:27 eythian            what? It's horrific.
09:27 magnuse            jransom: what were you trying to do?
09:27 kf                 you can do some nice things with it - compared to dokuwiki
09:27 kf                 I like the rest of the dokuwiki syntax better though
09:28 slef               @later tell chris_n I'm not sure if SIP 3 is confidential, but I'd need to check quite what the current terms are. At worst, it will be public at some point, the process is not under our control at all, it was a tough slog to get any access, it will happen whether or not we're involved and it seemed better to have one community/third sector organisation involved than none.
09:28 huginn             slef: The operation succeeded.
09:28 kf                 eythian: you are not still at work, aren't you?
09:28 eythian            kf: the pmwiki table syntax is nice. You make a table using || and such, and it ends up looking like a table.
09:28 eythian            I am
09:28 kf                 oucch
09:28 slef               eythian: RST even simpler isn't it?
09:28 eythian            I'm leaving for a workshop tomorrow, so trying to get my laptop in shape.
09:28 eythian            slef: never used it.
09:29 slef               eythian: you just underline column headings with "===== ===== ====" and so on
09:29 kf                 never change a running system..
09:29 eythian            yeah, I think pmwiki is similar, although it's been a while.
09:29 slef               kf: not never, but don't deny the costs of changing.
09:30 Oak                time for class
09:30 Oak                later guys
09:30 slef               eythian: ah, with RST, I think you don't use || but let it work it out from fixed widths and the column heading underline's spaces.  I don't write RST tables that much, though.
09:30 slef               bye Oak
09:31 eythian            oh right, that could be good too
09:31 kf                 slef: was talkign about changing to much on a laptop before leaving for a workshop
09:31 kf                 I have no good experience with such things
09:31 kf                 :)
09:31 slef               kf: oh I was talking about bring back dokuwiki all is forgiven ;-)
09:31 slef               kf: transferable skills rock!
09:31 * magnuse          had not thought about marc dialects as a problem related to the debian packages. ouch... #marcmustdie
09:32 eythian            kf: it's not so much changing, as adding the stuff I'll need for a demo I'm going to give.
09:32 eythian            magnuse: yeah, it's a tricky one alright.
09:32 jransom            i've got it working - had to validadte my email address
09:32 jransom            i'm uploading a gazillion ideas for papers i'
09:32 jransom            papers i'd like to listen to
09:32 kf                 :)
09:33 kf                 eythian: good luck for your workshop - have fun :)
09:33 magnuse            jransom++
09:33 eythian            cheers :) need to do more talk writing too, but there's an 8 hour plane flight for that.
09:34 magnuse            eythian: i here i was thinking the translations were the only thing i had to solve...
09:35 eythian            No, I'm afraid not :)
09:35 eythian            although, I think that the MARC stuff won't be too bad really.
09:35 kf                 magnuse: start with translations... and worry about marc later?
09:37 magnuse            eythian: i guess there is the marcflavor stuff done by Makefile.PL that has to be an option somewhere?
09:38 eythian            well, I'd like to know what it actually changes, and just make something that can template away those changes in a way the koha-create script can use.
09:38 magnuse            kf: hm, i'd say marcflavor is actually more important, you could start using koha in english then switch to your translation when it is ready. not so easy to change marcflavor...
09:39 kf                 magnuse: yes, i see that - but I thought that perhaps languages might be a bit easier for the start
09:39 magnuse            eythian: i looked at that when i changed Makefile.PL to account for normarc, but i don't remember now
09:39 eythian            I suspect it's mostly in the zebra config
09:39 kf                 hm
09:39 magnuse            eythian: yup, it wasn't anything huge ;-)
09:39 magnuse            kf: marc might be easier, actually
09:40 magnuse            eythian: so you think marcflavor should be an option for koha-create?
09:40 slef               I think there's only maybe zebra configs?
09:40 * slef             checks Makefile.PL
09:41 slef               ZEBRA_MARC_FORMAT
09:43 slef               pazpar2 config too
09:43 mib_gle66c         Hi <slef> , my requirement is not in the specified link http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-4-manual-en/?ch=x5722#labellayouts ?
09:44 eythian            magnuse: yeah, that way you can run usmarc and nomarc side by side
09:44 magnuse            cool
09:44 slef               mib_gle66c: callnumber and itemtype are shown. What's missing?
09:45 jransom            o - I think I'd run out of burning questions ... thats 6 ideas up now counting magnus's one
09:45 magnuse            i hope to get some time during summer to start a wiki page for ducumenting the commands and options provided by the packages - it's not man but would be a start...
09:45 jransom            time to pass the batton!
09:45 jransom            baton ...
09:46 magnuse            well done jransom :-)
09:47 jransom            oh - i have one more - rfid
09:47 jcamins_away       Let's try this whole "flying home" thing again, shall we?
09:47 eythian            jcamins_away: hopefully you don't have volcanoes to contend with like here :)
09:48 magnuse            love the "Customizing homepage OPAC" idea - actually i think we could have a page on the wiki with links to opacs that do interesting things
09:48 jcamins_away       eythian: no, just electric storms.
09:48 magnuse            sounds scary
09:49 eythian            steam powered storms are so old now. It's pretty much all electric.
09:49 magnuse            hehe
09:49 jcamins_away       eythian: but we were bumped (voluntarily, since I didn't want us to be split up) yesterday, then our replacement flight was cancelled, and we were put on completely different flights, so I called and complained and they put us on a 6:00am flight.
09:49 eythian            erk
09:50 eythian            According to the ash forecast, I should be OK for tomorrow's flying.
09:50 jransom            that customizing opacs topic crops up quite often actually
09:50 eythian            yeah, I'm doing a talk on it for the workshop I'm doing.
09:50 slef               "Jay Jordan to retire as OCLC President and CEO" errr, how can a co-op's CEO be its president?  Very strange.
09:50 jransom            Robin ....
09:50 eythian            It's not something I know heaps about however, so it'll be an overview.
09:50 jransom            didnt realise it was you
09:51 eythian            what's me?
09:51 wahanui            hmmm... eythian is in NZ. ;) or a good influence
09:51 jransom            thanks for your help today
09:51 eythian            no problem :)
09:51 slef               oh we've got fun tomorrow: UK border guards are on strike
09:51 jransom            apart from the lack of mind reading ...
09:51 magnuse            o/
09:51 eythian            yeah, sorry about that, the circuits are on the fritz
09:51 slef               jransom: can I introduce you to /whois NICKNAME ? ;-)
09:51 druthb             Hi, magnuse.  :)
09:52 jransom            i know that - i just forget it
09:52 jransom            heya Rith
09:52 druthb             Hi, jransom!
09:53 magnuse            jransom: is rith how you pronounce ruth? ;-)
09:53 jransom            lol
09:53 mib_gle66c         <slef>: I want callnumber and item type not encoded in the graphic ,but separately above the barcode graphic
09:53 kf                 hehe
09:53 jransom            tired fingers
09:54 jransom            thinking of taking diction lessons so i can learn how to speak English properly
09:54 slef               mib_gle66c: I thought that was what that did. Those are text fields to print, not fields to encode.
09:54 eythian            NZ english only has one vowel, you don't need any more.
09:55 slef               jransom: the English can't speak English clearly, so why do you want to show us up?
09:55 slef               (bloody kiwi ratbags, going over there and taking our language)
09:55 NurAhammad         is there any way to show serial logo in opac in format type?
09:56 jransom            lol - 1 vowel
09:56 NurAhammad         I am maintaining serials with koha
09:57 jransom            I am all British descent .... no Maori blood at all ... so really I should learn Queens English - or at least be understandable by other english speaking folk
09:57 jcamins_away       NurAhammad: you need to set the Leader.
09:58 NurAhammad         but when i search serials in opac it shows book format
09:58 jcamins_away       NurAhammad: that means you probably have the Leader wrong.
09:58 NurAhammad         is it place 7?
09:58 jcamins_away       Either that or it's an item type image, in which case you need to have a different item type for serials.
09:59 eythian            it sounds to me like the leader
09:59 jcamins_away       Yeah, LDR/07.
10:00 jcamins_away       It should be s.
10:00 NurAhammad         I set serial item type?
10:00 NurAhammad         ok I will try.
10:00 NurAhammad         thanks.
10:01 jcamins_away       If it's the item type image, you also need to set the images for each itemtype.
10:02 NurAhammad         I already set item type image.
10:02 NurAhammad         It is basically format image.
10:02 * eythian          hates the MARC leader, it's a terrible way of doing what it tries to do. #marcmustdie
10:03 * magnuse          agrees
10:04 * jcamins_away     , too.
10:04 druthb             MARC--
10:04 jransom            slef: are going to post that link to koha list asking for ideas of papers you'd like to see OR to browse the list to see what paper you could present?
10:05 slef               NurAhammad: no, not item type, bibliographic/MARC record leader field (tab 0 usually)
10:05 eythian            oh good. THe progress bar I was waiting on too 30 minutes to get to 12%. Now it's jumped back to 0.
10:05 eythian            *took
10:06 slef               jransom: I'll post various links once I've created them. Or someone else could beat me to it. I'm a bit busy because it's Co-operatives Fortnight here and I'm at events this afternoon and tomorrow morning, on top of my usual workload.
10:06 Judit              eythian: you need to watch the progress bar at all the time- it helps, you know
10:06 jransom            ok cool
10:07 eythian            Judit: heh, it's true
10:07 slef               I think it needs a post creating on http://koha-community.org asking for suggestions (anyone want to draft it?), then posting to the mailing list with links to that and the OCS pages for submissions, registration and schedule
10:08 slef               Does that sound about right?
10:08 jransom            yup.
10:09 jransom            if you dont get to it i could look at it tomorrow when i get to work.
10:11 slef               that'd be great if you could... get me anything any way you can and I'll move it on... seriously overloaded here today :-/
10:12 jransom            ok - I'll take responsibility for doing that
10:18 eythian            I really need a faster netbook
10:18 jransom            good night all
10:19 jcamins_away       Good night?
10:19 magnuse            g'night jransom
10:19 eythian            bye!
10:19 jcamins_away       When NZ says "good night," I _know_ I'm up too early.
10:20 magnuse            hehe
10:32 magnuse            wow, wiki pages without categories look weird
10:33 magnuse            it's a start: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Gallery_of_customized_OPACs
10:37 eythian            time for me to go home and start packing now I think
10:37 magnuse            have fun, eythian
10:50 slef               time for me to panic-pack too :)
10:50 slef               talk to you later/tomorrow
11:10 magnuse            have fun, slef
11:19 mib_7m2zm4         I want to display  callnumber and itemtype in addition to the barcode number in the barcode layout How can i do it ; I also tried the koha community manual but failed

13:38 kf                 hm
13:38 kf                 this patch on the list
13:38 kf                 does it delete the first paragraph on purpuse?
13:38 kf                 it seems nto related to the description of what it's supposed to do
14:33 kf                 jcamins_away: really really away?

14:37 kf                 nope
14:38 kf                 I have a library askign about cataloging coins... thought he might have an idea
14:55 kf                 ugh
14:55 kf                 2 titles created from acq - both have one item on order - both link to the same basket

15:05 oakivil            hello #koha
15:05 oakivil            i was thinking abouot the aquisitions module
15:06 oakivil            when an order is placed, is it sent as a email to vendor?
15:06 oakivil            would it be possible to integrate aquisitions module to vendors interface?
15:07 oakivil            so things would be more automated
15:08 oakivil            i guess that is something you are already working on

16:24 wizzyrea           very quiet today

16:25 tcohen             hi wizzyrea
16:28 wizzyrea           mornin
16:28 tcohen             has anyone worked on integrating koha with repository software like DSpace or EPrints?
16:29 tcohen             using standards like SWORD ?
16:30 tcohen             well, next semester i plan to start implementing something like that
16:30 tcohen             he
16:30 hdl                tcohen: have fun
16:30 tcohen             wizzyrea, i tried to make some noise
16:31 tcohen             hdl, have you worked on smth like that?
16:32 hdl                Nope would be quite interested in that... But first have to solve some other issues.
16:32 hdl                like solr integration and performance issues.
16:33 hdl                solr integration is getting better and better. But librarians are asking for crazy things

16:36 rhcl_away          tchoen: when you say "integrating koha with DSpace", what exactly do you mean? Being able to enter DSpace data into Koha for integrated search results perhaps?
16:36 rhcl               We have an on-off-on-off digital project based on DSpace, and I'm interested in discussing it or anything related to Koha integration.
16:38 rhcl               to change hdl's statement slightly: "crazy librarians are asking for things"

16:55 wizzyrea           that is just weird behavior
16:55 oleonard           wizzyrea: If anyone has told me I've forgotten. If you file a bug report I can take a look.

17:22 tcohen             rhcl: i'm back
17:23 tcohen             rhcl: integrating with DSpace: the possibility to catalog and upload digital content in koha
17:23 tcohen             uploaded content is stored in DSpace as backend using SWORD
17:23 tcohen             thats' what i mean
17:26 tcohen             hdl: im willing to try solr integration and contribute to that project also

17:29 tcohen             thanks hdl
17:49 wizzyrea           question, what is the score on the bib import tool?
17:49 gmcharlt           wizzyrea: in what sense?
17:50 wizzyrea           http://screencast.com/t/PagaCYq5
17:50 wizzyrea           what does that mean/denote
17:52 gmcharlt           wizzyrea: so in a matching rule, each matchpoint you specify has a score associated with it
17:52 wizzyrea           aha, I did not realize
17:53 gmcharlt           if the rule has 3 matchpoints, say OCLC #, ISBN, and title
17:53 gmcharlt           each can have a score
17:53 gmcharlt           say 500 for OCLC#, 300 for ISBN, and 200 for title
17:53 gmcharlt           then if a given bib matches an existing one on a particular match point
17:53 gmcharlt           that score is added to a total for that bib
17:54 gmcharlt           and if the total goes over the threshold for that matching rule, it's considered a full match
17:54 gmcharlt           so in my example, if the threshold for the rule were set at 500
17:54 gmcharlt           a match *just* on OCLC number would be enough
17:54 wizzyrea           aha
17:54 wizzyrea           gotya
17:54 gmcharlt           otherwise, the match woudl require both ISBN and title to get to 500
17:55 wizzyrea           thanks :)
17:56 druthb             gmcharlt++
17:56 wizzyrea           is the threshold user configurable?
17:57 gmcharlt           wizzyrea: yes, it's part of the overall matching rule definition
17:57 gmcharlt           and the actual numbers you assign to thresholds and scores are arbitrary
17:57 wizzyrea           o, so it doesn't strictly *mean* something
17:57 wizzyrea           a particular number, that is
17:57 gmcharlt           right
17:57 gmcharlt           my example could easily have involved 5, 3, and 2
17:58 wizzyrea           got it. gmcharlt++ thanks for explaining that
17:58 nengard            gmcharlt, while you're talking about it can you explain how to make matching rules?
17:58 nengard            I don't have much documented on that
17:58 nengard            and this is very helpful
17:58 nengard            of course you could submit a patch to the manual if you want :)
17:59 gmcharlt           nengard: indeed, but I may as well answer your question as well
17:59 gmcharlt           so they're set up in Admin | Record Matching Rules, natch
18:00 gmcharlt           the matching rule code is whatever you want it to be
18:00 gmcharlt           as are the description and threshold
18:00 wizzyrea           ooooo
18:00 wizzyrea           gmcharlt++ very helpful
18:00 gmcharlt           then you can set up as many "match pionts" and "match checks" as you want
18:01 nengard            what is a match point and a match check?
18:01 gmcharlt           (and if you're *very* special, you can also be typo-free)
18:01 nengard            hehe
18:01 nengard            i'm never typo free
18:01 gmcharlt           a match point says that for the specify tag and subfield (and offset and length if you're talking about a fixed field)
18:01 gmcharlt           do a search on the search index specified in the match point
18:01 gmcharlt           the search index = just a normal CCL index code
18:02 gmcharlt           the incoming bib's tag/subfield are checked
18:02 gmcharlt           and the value searched on
18:02 gmcharlt           any bibs that are brought up by the search
18:02 gmcharlt           get the score specified in the matching point added to the total
18:03 gmcharlt           so then all of the match points are checked for an incoming bibs
18:04 gmcharlt           and the existing bibs whose total scores are over the threshold are kept for the next phase
18:04 gmcharlt           which is the "match check"
18:04 gmcharlt           match check two sets of tags/subfields specified
18:04 gmcharlt           one for the incoming bib
18:04 gmcharlt           one for the existing bib
18:04 gmcharlt           and for an existing bib to be retaiend as a match
18:04 gmcharlt           it *must* pass the match check
18:05 nengard            yikes, this is a lot :) I'm going to see if I can translate it into the manual - and if i do it wrong you're free to fix my mistakes
18:06 nengard            for search indexes - are these all of them? http://manual.koha-community.org/3.4/en/kohasearchindexes.html
18:06 nengard            or does this list at least look right?
18:06 nengard            and do i put the text or the number in for the search index?
18:07 gmcharlt           nengard: not that one
18:07 gmcharlt           it needs to be one of the ones listed in ccl.properties
18:07 gmcharlt           so table 11.1 has the list
18:08 nengard            okay - good to know
18:08 nengard            does that table look complete? (I could of course go check the code
18:08 nengard            )
18:11 gmcharlt           nengard: not complete in the sense of being 100% complete, but it is certainly representative
18:11 gmcharlt           I just suggest saying the CCL qualifiers "include" rather than "are"
18:11 nengard            okay so i need to check the code and get it to be inclusive (or update the text as you suggest)
18:12 gmcharlt           the documentation already references ccl.properties
18:12 gmcharlt           and I think that's sufficient
18:12 nengard            k
18:28 slef               gmcharlt: any idea if/how you're voting on sip3?
18:30 gmcharlt           slef: not yet; I need to sit down with the full spec some evenign this week
18:31 * oleonard         would imagine that to be sleep-inducing

19:46 wizzyrea           oo

19:56 wizzyrea           bleh
19:56 oleonard           Crap.
19:56 cait               really?
19:56 cait               :(
19:56 wizzyrea           well I can't make it load so
19:56 wizzyrea           there's that
19:59 * oleonard         emails the editor
19:59 wizzyrea           did you note the manual link isn't correct either
19:59 wizzyrea           though that's a fantastic tutorial on doing it in opensuse
20:00 oleonard           wizzyrea: Not specifically, but the more the merrier.

20:03 cait               and they still got it wrong :(
20:06 magnuse            well, some people are in for a surprise, then... :-|
20:14 magnuse            wow, it's weird and cool seing the output of rebuild_zebra.pl in a magazine!

20:30 cait               nengard++  :)
20:30 cait               time to sleep for me - bye all!
20:34 library_guy_work   seen nengard
20:34 wahanui            nengard was last seen on #koha 15 minutes and 57 seconds ago, saying: heh [Wed Jun 29 20:18:44 2011]
20:35 nengard            still here :)
20:35 library_guy_work   hey nengard you around?
20:35 library_guy_work   hey
20:35 library_guy_work   ok
20:35 library_guy_work   so i was reading your additions and I just want to make sure I understand
20:35 nengard            k
20:35 library_guy_work   so an Item is "unavailable" then you still want to see the call number?
20:36 library_guy_work   I think cait wanted something similar
20:36 nengard            yes, or at least hide the locations line
20:36 nengard            oh well if someone else wants it then yes i want the call number :)
20:36 library_guy_work   lol
20:36 library_guy_work   ok sounds good to me...i think i can do that...
20:37 nengard            did the other stuff make sense too?
20:37 library_guy_work   does it currently show if there is an item unavailable?
20:37 nengard            no
20:37 library_guy_work   ahh ok so ill probably have to pull that from somewhere
20:37 library_guy_work   boo
20:38 library_guy_work   I took the other stuff to mean that if there isn't a call number in the first "copy" then print the second call number
20:38 library_guy_work   im not sure how to do that but ill see if I can do some digging
20:38 nengard            yes that's what i meant, otherwise it looks like there are no call numbers
20:39 library_guy_work   right
20:39 library_guy_work   the issue that i saw with this is volumes of books
20:39 library_guy_work   if there is more than one volume then technically there is more than one call number
20:39 nengard            and as for the preference the pull down is supposed to be the beginning of the sentence - otherwise you have it saying "Show Show"
20:39 nengard            or "Don't show Show"
20:39 library_guy_work   lol yeah that was just me not paying attention :'(
20:40 * nengard          is an english major
20:40 library_guy_work   those are easy the easy fixes...im kind of concerned about pulling back the second call number if the first is blank
20:41 nengard            and the default should be 'don't show' cause that's how it is now and people don't like things changing on them :)
20:41 nengard            oh
20:41 nengard            well i have faith in you :)
20:41 library_guy_work   lol thanks
20:41 nengard            and will gladly test and sign off on your patch when it's fixed
20:41 nengard            just remember to update the status to 'needs signoff' from 'failed qa'
20:41 library_guy_work   ill probably try and fix the patch this weekend...i have finals this week and next
20:41 * library_guy_work is stressed
20:42 nengard            no problem
20:42 nengard            focus on the finals!!
20:42 wizzyrea           oh yea
20:42 wizzyrea           focus on the finals
20:42 library_guy_work   do I just submit the full patch again or the partial?
20:42 nengard            full again
20:42 library_guy_work   ok
20:42 library_guy_work   :)
20:42 nengard            and put the bug number in the patch title
20:42 library_guy_work   lol will do
20:42 library_guy_work   i know i forgot that last time :'(
20:43 nengard            no prob
20:43 library_guy_work   sorry for being a newb :-/
20:43 nengard            you put it in the email so i was able to find it
20:43 nengard            never be sorry!!
20:43 nengard            we were all new once :)
20:43 library_guy_work   lol true true
20:43 nengard            i couldn't figure out how to even email the patch in the beginning
20:43 library_guy_work   haha i still have to use scp so send it
