09:11 nlegrand        Hey #koha!
09:26 Joubu           @later tell tcohen It seems that bug 17368 did not fix Jenkins. I think it's because the .kpz is not extracted and the one on the server is not erased. Could you replace it manually please?

11:49 oleonard        Hi #koha
11:59 atheia          Hi #koha
11:59 atheia          I have a question about the difference between 'holdingbranch' and 'homebranch'…
12:00 atheia          Intuitively I would think 'homebranch' is the place where an item lives, and 'holdingbranch' is where an item might be currently at (e.g. it might have been sent to a different 'holdingbranch' to satisfy a hold).
12:01 atheia          By extension, a branchtransfer changes the 'homebranch' rather than the 'holdingbranch'.
12:01 atheia          Is this more ore less accurate?
12:01 oleonard        That sounds correct atheia
12:01 marcelr         hi #koha
12:02 atheia          OK, cheers for confirming oleonard!
12:16 magnuse         khall around yet?

15:42 AndrewIsh       hey guys, quick question. for the module i'm currently building, i need to be performing a barcode search on the catalogue and getting the matching item
15:42 cait            hi AndrewIsh :)
15:42 AndrewIsh       i've been looking in catalogue/search.pm for some pointers, but that didn't help much
15:42 AndrewIsh       hey cait
15:43 AndrewIsh       is there a module for doing this sort of thing?
15:44 AndrewIsh       there are lots of promising sounding modules being used in search.pm, and my next step was to poke in each one to see what it does, but my laziness got the better of me
15:44 AndrewIsh       hence this question
15:44 cait            i think i wouldn't go into Search.pm for that
15:44 cait            what is it for?
15:45 AndrewIsh       sorry, search.pl
15:45 cait            I think that circulation uses the database, not Zebra
15:45 cait            but I don't really have an idea where to look - maybe someone else knows?
15:45 AndrewIsh       so, we're building a stock rotation feature, as part of that it's necessary to add items to a stock rotation rota, hence needing to be able to find items
15:46 oleonard        AndrewIsh: That sounds similar to the lists feature which allows you to add to a list by barcode
15:46 oleonard        Maybe that would be a place to look?
15:46 AndrewIsh       oleonard: there are similarities, but it's also different in some ways
15:46 AndrewIsh       oleonard: ah, yes, good point!
15:50 AndrewIsh       oleonard: bingo! C4::Biblio::GetBiblioFromItemNumber - thanks! :)
15:50 oleonard        Cool
15:51 mveron          Hi #koha
15:57 AndrewIsh       oleonard: oh actually, C4::Items::GetItem is the one i was after! thanks for the pointers though :)
16:01 ttt             how to search baskets
16:01 ttt             is there a way to list all baskets in acquisitions
16:02 cait            do an empty vendor seaerch
16:02 cait            then click on the link to show also baskets where all items have been received
17:17 gaetan_B        bye
18:32 kchris          Does anyone have experience using the SYNC_REPO  variable with Kohadevbox? I have spun up a dev box without it, and now want to test patches. Is there an existing kohaclone directory?
18:48 Joubu           kchris: you need to export the SYNC_REPO variable before the vagrant up command
19:01 kchris          Joubu: I wonder if I can halt and provision it with that variable now?
19:02 Joubu           maybe ssh before and remove what may have been cloned
19:02 tcohen          kchris: yes
19:02 kchris          I didn't use the variable initially because I was starting from scratch and didn't have an "existing" repo.

20:11 tcohen          I'd like to mention Jenkins
20:11 khall_away      Not that I can think of
20:11 tcohen          it's been having problems
20:11 tcohen          to connect to the nodes
20:11 bag             tcohen: the floor is yours
20:12 tcohen          and is probably one of the reasons some failing tests were not highlighted properly
20:12 tcohen          i'm sorry for that
20:12 tcohen          I'm talking to Laurent (from Biblibre)
20:12 cait            something to #info?
20:12 tcohen          about alternatives to fix it
20:13 cait            #info Jenkins is having some problems connecting to the nodes, tcohen is working on it with Laurent
20:13 Joubu           (bugs 17537-40 fixes somes tests)
20:13 tcohen          #info Jenkins is having issues and tcohen is working on that, a temporary server has been set and tcohen will post to the list, so people notice the failing tests
20:13 tcohen          cait: you type way faster than me LOL

20:15 cait            the page has filled up the last few days and we have candidates for most of the roles
20:15 tcohen          fridolin: thanks
20:16 cait            before we start voting, are there questions to the candidates, about the roles or whatever that we should discuss before elections?
20:16 bag             I would like to add Joubu to the RM as a back-up (alternate) for pushing code that ByWater has authored
20:17 bag             does that sound acceptable?
20:17 fridolin        indeed
20:17 * tcohen        doesn't trust him that much
20:18 khall_away      Lol
20:18 JesseM          :D
20:18 cait            me neither, but... ok
20:18 cait            :)
20:18 Joubu           I think it may be good to have author + push from different companies
20:18 cait            agreed
20:19 khall_away      Completely
20:19 rangi           yep
20:19 Joubu           at the beginning I asked for push access to fix small things
20:19 tcohen          I think the bigger the team, the more collisions there can be
20:19 tcohen          but I think you can manage it
20:19 Joubu           or to fix timezone incompatibilities
20:19 Joubu           if it means something...
20:19 rangi           one thing id like to bring up, wrt RMaints
20:19 tcohen          +1 from me
20:20 rangi           can we please go back to no enhancements being backported
20:20 rangi           (or refactoring)
20:20 drojf           +1
20:20 rangi           we've had a few too many bugs in the stable releases
20:20 cait            rangi: that's my plan
20:20 rangi           cool
20:20 drojf           and i built every single package twice
20:20 drojf           not doing that again
20:20 rangi           yeah
20:21 cait            i will try to be careful and check with devs when not sure about something
20:21 fridolin        refactoring indeed is useless for stable branches
20:21 cait            yep
20:21 Joubu           basically you 'just' need to check the status and the dependencies
20:21 Joubu           if it's a enh or ft, don't push it
20:21 fridolin        sometimes some patches are defined as enhancements but may be considered as bug
20:21 tcohen          the caching refactoring was a special case
20:21 Joubu           if it depends on an enh or ft not in stable branches, don't push it
20:22 fridolin        basicaly I'm ok
20:22 cait            I think if we need dependencies for a bug fix we can take a closer look - if pushing them is better than having to write a different bug fix patch
20:22 fridolin        there may be some exceptions but mainly branch must be "stable"
20:22 tcohen          i wouldn't have backported those, but I understand it was the rmaints call
20:23 rangi           yeah
20:23 rangi           thats all I wanted to bring up anyway
20:23 cait            also some real small enh might be good to have - as frido said, sometimes it's a bit of a grey area with bug or not
20:24 fridolin        RMaint is a real job ;)
20:25 schnydszch      #info Eugene Espinoza Philippines
20:26 cait            contineu with voting?
20:27 cait            bag: can you please add Joubu to the wiki?
20:27 cait            or Joubu can you?
20:27 Joubu           I have already added myself as a Module Maintainer actually
20:28 Joubu           not sure what I should do now :)
20:28 cait            let's vote from top to bottom
20:28 cait            ah ok, just missed that
20:28 wizzyrea        #info Liz Rea, Catalyst IT NZ (sorry to be late)

20:50 cait            i have a question about the last one
20:50 cait            indranil, Brooke and David haven't added themselves
20:50 cait            have you been in contact with them?
20:51 thd             Indeed, however, I think indrag is OK with inclusion but everyone listed is merely an implied volunteer.
20:52 thd             It is really the support for the proposal which I am seeking.
20:52 thd             Anyone can join in.
20:52 Joubu           Is it the same proposal as the one for 3.20, 3.22, 16.05 and 16.11?
20:53 thd             Yes, unfortunately all my tame was taken helping my elderly friend avoid eviction for 2 years.
20:53 thd             That is now thankfully over.
20:53 thd             s/tame/time/
20:53 BobB            congrats thd, awesome achievement
20:54 drojf           i ẃas wondering, can we separate the wiki from the release team? it has not really a connection to release cycle. and you plan to start in february, while release cycle is november to may. its an ongoing task like website etc, we dont have roles for that either
20:54 Joubu           yes, congrats. It's good news
20:54 BobB            it would be great to have a team of wiki maintainers, but maybe we just elect thd now and add the others when they consent?
20:55 thd             It was added to the roles in the past so I re-added this time.
20:55 cait            sounds good to me BobB
20:55 BobB            I take droif's point too
20:56 BobB            but its a role we really need
20:56 thd             I had meant merely to indicate that others were willing but the category was missing and might not have put themselves forward without the category.
20:56 BobB            yep
20:56 barton          +1 for the role.
20:56 drojf           we certainly need it and i welcome everyone working on it, i just dont see the connection to the releases
20:57 rangi           moving on?

21:02 schnydszch      June 13 to 17 sorry
21:02 BobB            cool
21:02 schnydszch      June 12 is independence day in the Philippines
21:03 * tcohen1       just kicked that wifi router
21:03 schnydszch      Thanks by the way to the 10 people who already preregistered. We hope that those even 1% sure going pre-register in the google form
21:04 cait            #info dates are June 13 to 17, 12 being independence day in the Philippines
21:04 Joubu           I preregister not to have to pay 100$ if I can come
21:04 Joubu           maybe I should not tell that...
21:05 bag             bbias
21:05 Joubu           (I can bargain it if I cannot attend, something like 50$ ;))
21:05 schnydszch      We're trying to negotiate the venue rental hence the fee. The venue rental is Php100,000.00 per day. We will be presenting in the 17th
21:05 rangi           did we find out why we are breaking the tradition of no fee for kohacon?
21:06 schnydszch      Or you can help us in making it free :)
21:06 schnydszch      Nigeria charged 150
21:06 schnydszch      http://kohacon15.projektlinkkonsult.com/registration/
21:07 BobB            schnydszch you need to make a budget for the conference
21:07 rangi           yep, and that was unpopular and decided not to do it again, it was free again in greece
21:07 BobB            then when you know how much you need we can work out how to fund it
21:07 thd             In the case of Nigeria, that was sadly an issue for safety of the venue location.
21:07 bag             and it ended up being safe
21:08 BobB            Philipinnes has its issues too
21:08 schnydszch      We will try to make it free as much as possible. We're waiting for a meeting with the organization registered with the securities and exchange commissi9n of the philippines so we can solicit even local companies
21:08 * rangi         will bow out, im not planning to attend anyway so others can decide
21:08 bag             yes it does - just looked at the usgov state department - and it is not on the no travel list
21:08 cait            #info 10 people already preregistered, please register if you plan to attend (link to the form was send to the mailing list)
21:09 BobB            parts of the country are 'no travel' on the Australian advisory
21:09 BobB            but the wider problem is an apparent breakdown in the rule of law
21:10 BobB            I'll be making bookings, but keeping an eye on that situation
21:10 schnydszch      You can help us make it free if you can send us figures to be added for the presentation to ayala museum bosses like cost vis-a-vis proprietary
21:10 * fridolin      saying good night and see u soon
21:10 schnydszch      No worries BobB
21:10 bag             singapore airlines has very cheap tickets flying from san fransisco
21:10 cait            schnydszch: have you sned out a call for sponsors yet?
21:11 schnydszch      Not yet cait. After our meeting with the Association of Special Libraries of the Philippines
21:12 schnydszch      but the form has a clause if they plan or their company plans on sponsoring
21:13 drojf           ebsco asked me about sponsorship options
21:13 drojf           where should i forward that to? (email)
21:13 schnydszch      Are they okay with jusf the name of the volunteers first?
21:14 drojf           i don't know what is interesting for them, you have to talk to them
21:14 schnydszch      Please email me eugenegf@yahoo.com. info@onstrike.com.ph info@tulong-aklatan.com.ph
21:15 drojf           ok

21:16 cait            as we are runnign late, i'd like to not discuss Kohacon18 this time
21:16 schnydszch      By the way, we're also waiting for the result of the gra t proposal from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts
21:16 * LibraryClaire says goodnight
21:17 schnydszch      Of the Philippines to help us defray expenses.
21:17 BobB            you need a budget ... then you know how much you need :)

21:18 cait            #topic Bugzilla vs. Github/Gitlab
21:18 cait            petter: still there?
21:18 wahanui         there is one... but i don't know it
21:18 schnydszch      The last time an international conference was held in the Philippines, it was full of locals
21:18 rangi           i have to run out to a meeting soon, but ill quickly note down my thoughts
21:19 rangi           not opposed to gitlab (with caveats)
21:19 rangi           fundamentally opposed to github (i find telling people they should use FOSS and then using proprietary tools to dev it is hypocritical)
21:19 cait            schnydszch: I think locals are good actually :)
21:19 thd             rangi++
21:19 wizzyrea        rangi++
21:19 rangi           the caveats are, that with gitlab .. how do we implement our signoff/qa process
21:19 schnydszch      Hence the preregistration. Althougb we can say that we won't accept walk-ins, there will always be those who will not follow
21:20 cait            it also means people have to register with a service we can't control
21:20 schnydszch      Okay that's all for now :)
21:20 rangi           do we end up with gerrit or some other peer review tool? which is arguably much harder to use than git-bz
21:20 rangi           those are my thoughts anyway
21:20 tcohen1         we can have our own gitlab setup
21:20 schnydszch      We want to control.it to 250 or less :)
21:21 tcohen1         I don't like gitlab, but we could
21:21 cait            schnydszch: sorry, running late today - didn't want to interrupt you
21:21 Joubu           rangi: harder to use but much more efficient for reviews
21:22 schnydszch      I'm done already. The floor is yours :)
21:22 BobB            schnydszh typically KohaCon is mostly local people, with varying numbers of international attendees
21:22 rangi           Joubu: yep, it does cut down the pool of users signing off tho .. when we need to increase that
21:22 BobB            locals are good, as someone else said
21:22 schnydszch      Noted BobB
21:22 rangi           Joubu: so I see that as the problem that we need to solve .. maybe there are better tools than gerrit now?
21:22 cait            before we consider a switch, i'd like to see how we can handle things in our workflow, i have no experience with gitlab, but adding a quick follow up or rebasing for a new dev should be easy to do
21:23 Joubu           did not find something else when I had a look
21:23 thd             To my knowledge Bugzilla has significantly more features which can be customised suitably than any competing bug tracker.  I do not know why anyone would want to use something with fewer options to turn to our purpose.
21:23 wizzyrea        it took years of iteration to get to the process we have now
21:23 wizzyrea        changing it will require a similar amount of time.
21:23 wizzyrea        rather, changing it to a point where it is as natural and understood as it is now will take that long.
21:24 wizzyrea        I'm not opposed to it (though I am opposed to github. full nopetopus.)
21:24 Joubu           I think we need to wait for petter to get the pros :)
21:25 BobB            its also very important that it be accessible to librarians, not just devs
21:25 Joubu           I personnaly find gitlab slower than bugzilla (maybe because I did not optimize it on my server)
21:27 barton          How does gitlab compare to bugzilla in terms of searching for bugs?
21:27 cait            #info please refer to full logs for discussion - lots of info there
21:28 barton          ... that's my only gripe with bugzilla.
21:29 drojf           did i miss the part about why we should switch to something else in general?
21:29 rangi           drojf: i think petter is not here to talk to that
21:29 drojf           ah ok
21:29 cait            hm he was there at the beginning
21:29 cait            we might have lost him
21:29 drojf           we voted too long
21:30 cait            barton: i think bugzilla's search is mighty, we just don't use the same terms often for the same things, that's the issue that makes it hard to find stuff :)
21:30 cait            in my opinion not a thing that a new tool can solve
21:30 barton          I can't argue with that...
21:30 rangi           maybe the problem is we write bad bug descriptions :-)
21:32 cait            i think we have colleced a lot of info
21:32 drojf           good night, gotta sleep off the flu. don't change all infrastructure until i'm back :P
21:32 cait            or opionins
21:32 cait            let'smove on?
21:32 Joubu           We improved it a lot, but we can always do better
21:32 thd             Maybe we should add some guidance about how to describe a bug better for easier finding.
21:33 barton          thd++
21:34 bag             move on
21:34 barton          that too.

21:35 barton          Next topic?
21:35 wahanui         Next topic is a tricky one...
21:35 cait            #topic Support provider registration email list
21:35 cait            sorry, got distracted
21:35 cait            i am not sure who added that
21:35 barton          I did.
21:36 bag             we jumped over the marketing one
21:36 barton          yeah, that's more important.
21:36 cait            coming back tot hat
21:36 barton          Ah. Ok.
21:36 bag             ah ok :)
21:36 cait            barton: can you quickly explain?
21:37 barton          so quickly, as I understand it, In India, there's a law that says that support providers
21:37 barton          need to register with some governing entity...
21:37 barton          so we get a lot of requests added on the Koha mailing list.
21:38 rangi           (not a law, lots of people put 'must be a registered support provider' in their RFP)
21:38 wizzyrea        1 we are not and have never been a governing entity.
21:38 rangi           the longest running Koha supporter
21:38 barton          It's an important function, but I think that it lowers the signal to noise ratio.
21:38 wizzyrea        2 what rangi said
21:38 rangi           indranil only registered this year, because of that RFP madness
21:38 rangi           its not a law tho .. just a bad idea
21:38 rangi           and now i have to get in a taxi ;)
21:38 BobB            they totally misunderstand what the list is - it gives no credit or endorsement of any kind
21:39 cait            i think if we limit to a list
21:39 wizzyrea        3 i am glad to have the many eyes on them
21:39 cait            it will ge tless eyes on it
21:39 cait            i don't mind them oing to the main list
21:39 barton          right ... anyway, I'd like to move that discussion off the koha mailing list.
21:39 wizzyrea        oppose that
21:39 wizzyrea        the subjects should be filterable if you don't want to see them
21:40 cait            i think they hsould not be hidden on a separate list to be honest
21:40 wizzyrea        ^
21:40 cait            they belong in the ocmmunity channel
21:41 thd             cait++ ; wizzyrea++
21:41 Joubu           I clicked on some links once, and almost 1 out 2 does not provide a link to k-c.org or any mentions to Koha
21:42 wizzyrea        it is an important function that many people check them
21:43 BobB            India's a problem - more Koha users than anywhere else on the planet and very few contributions to the project (Indra honourably excepted)
21:44 cait            a lot of the support providers listed are not active contributors
21:45 wizzyrea        BUT we do not limit people from being listed based on that
21:45 cait            not only from india - but i think that's not something we can do much about it
21:45 wizzyrea        the only requirements are the ones stated
21:45 cait            and if we tried to - what kind of contribution makes it valid?
21:45 cait            to get listed
21:45 Joubu           It may be better to maintain a list of active contributors, by company
21:45 wizzyrea        we aren't going to try to. I'd drop the list first.
21:45 Joubu           (we already almost have it with the dashboard, but only on 1 year)
21:45 cait            we also have the git stats
21:46 wizzyrea        But I agree with joubu, that list could be helpful as a supplement
21:46 wizzyrea        the list of code contributors
21:46 cait            not so pretty, but you can see a lot there if you want to
21:47 wizzyrea        anyway, next topic?
21:47 cait            ok
21:47 cait            any action to take her before we move on?

21:48 cait            last one for today, thx all for being here still :)
21:48 cait            handing over to bag
21:48 bag             ok I wrote my notes out - so I will just copy and paste
21:48 bag             then give everyone a minute to read
21:48 bag             I think that we should have a group that is in charge of marketing Koha.
21:48 bag             Plenty of ideas here.  Spotlight libraries that are using Koha and tell their stores
21:48 bag             website content
21:48 bag             blogposts
21:48 bag             press releases
21:48 bag             marketing series on all the great things that Koha already does and has been doing for years (like multi-tenant or webservices)
21:48 bag             Something that would help fight FUD ;)
21:48 bag             Anyways I was thinking that we start a little group or committee that would be interested in doing that.  NateC has volunteered to be the lead on that - get the meetings going - offering a place to host the meeting - so ideas can flow.
21:48 bag             Should we do this?  And how do we start?  Any one here interested in volunteering to help?
21:48 bag             Maybe call it the Koha Informations Group
21:49 wizzyrea        sorry bag I have to run but I am for this initiative
21:49 BobB            This idea came up at KohaCon14 in Cordoba iirc
21:49 bag             yes but we never pulled the trigger BobB
21:50 bag             I think NateC is ready for it now :)
21:50 BobB            its a good idea, if there people to carry it forward
21:50 wizzyrea        do let me know if you require any things from the website. I've been meaning to do a not-slight overhaul of it anyway
21:50 NateC           This could also help with the last issue that was discussed, in that contributing companies are spotlighted more so than those that are not by talking about the devs that were added
21:50 NateC           Ive been ready for this for a long time. We don't have a loud enough voice in the global library community
21:50 wizzyrea        (nothing drastic, just tidying and adding/removing content)
21:51 bag             cool wizzyrea - noted ;)  we’ll make sure that any committee or group works with you :)
21:51 wizzyrea        we certainly can't compete with the funding that ebsco has for their not-at-all-revolutionary thing
21:51 bag             good luck at your meeting
21:51 wizzyrea        ha thanks :)
21:51 bag             So should we take this to the mailing lists to look for volunteers?
21:51 NateC           wizzyrea: correct, but some social media and press and content is much better than none
21:52 bag             that sounds like an action for NateC?
21:52 schnydszch      Question on place natehas in mind? Virtual or real place?
21:52 bag             virtual
21:52 wahanui         i think virtual is available at https://www.virtualbox.org/
21:53 cait            we also discussed this in 'Marseille a bit
21:53 bag             most likely zoom or hangouts or something like that - whatever we could agree apon that has a low barrier for participation
21:53 cait            maybe we just need to rename a few things :)
21:53 schnydszch      Haha
21:53 thd             We should be just a little cautious about avoiding the effect of advertising for particular support companies in presenting case studies, etc.
21:53 bag             very true cait
21:53 NateC           basically if I get the blessing from the community I can run with this
21:54 BobB            so what is the motion here? That we endorse efforts to form a Koha Marketing group?
21:55 schnydszch      It seems I can volunteer on this
21:55 bag             ok so cait I think the next action - is NateC takes this to the mailing list and asks for volunteers to join in
21:55 bag             BobB ^^
21:55 bag             schnydszch: awesome!!
21:55 wahanui         That'll be NOK 10 for the awesome jar, bag
21:55 bag             NateC: I also noticed that David Nind said he would join in too with you
21:55 cait            #action NateC to take the Marketing Group idea to the mailing list to ask for volunteers
21:55 bag             so you’ve got 3 ;)
21:56 BobB            cait +1
21:56 NateC           ok am i taking it to the list to create the group, look for volunteers or both?
21:56 cait            both sounds good to me
21:56 bag             both NateC
21:56 BobB            yep
21:56 NateC           ok
21:56 cait            i don't think someone will oppose the general idea
21:57 NateC           until after the fact you mean cait ;)
21:57 bag             ha
21:57 bag             ok that’s it cait - move on ;)
21:57 tcohen1         hehe
21:57 BobB            two hour meeting, is this a record?
21:57 cait            #topic Set date and time for next meeting
21:58 khall_away      Probably!
21:58 cait            Joubu: awake still?
21:58 thd             Number of items on the agenda may be a record.
21:58 BobB            December 7?
21:58 cait            yeah, lots of info in the logs
21:59 cait            ok by me
21:59 BobB            time?
21:59 wahanui         i think time is like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff. or generously donated to giving support in #koha but if you need more help faster than we can give it try http://koha-community.org/support/paid/
21:59 cait            i was hoping Joubu could help me out with a meeting time suggestion
21:59 Joubu           erk
21:59 Joubu           yes
21:59 Joubu           sec
21:59 cait            and i'd like to ask if someone wants to give chairing a try
21:59 Joubu           https://framadate.org/3dAEB8zqQLzzTptD
21:59 Joubu           says
22:00 Joubu           1 or 2 pm is the best
22:00 cait            i will probably be around if any help with the bot is required and there is a wiki page now too :)
22:00 Joubu           but it was for dev meetings
22:00 cait            2 utc?
22:00 wahanui         2 utc is unfair to europe, not everyone
22:00 BobB            here joubu, or where you are?
22:00 Joubu           yes
22:00 Joubu           but we will need to find another one to switch with
22:01 cait            i think the problem might be not many votes from oz/nz
22:01 Joubu           people can continue to vote :)
22:01 bag             2 utc and 14 utc?
22:01 bag             or is 12 hours off bad
22:02 BobB            we're 10 hours ahead of europe now, NZ12
22:02 thd             2 UTC had problems of extremely low attendance when we tried for an extended period in rotation.
22:02 cait            2 utc is 3am
22:03 cait            that's in my black zone
22:03 cait            i can get up early... but not that early :)
22:03 Joubu           I said 2pm
22:03 Joubu           not am
22:03 BobB            we can never solve this, everyone time is bad in either europe, us, or south asia/oceania
22:03 cait            Joubu: can you send a tim econverter link?
22:03 Joubu           or you are searching for another one...
22:03 cait            is that 14utc then?
22:03 Joubu           https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20161109T14
22:04 * bag           gives up - will try to attend if the timing isn’t the worst.  Will agree to whenevers
22:04 wizzyrea        NateC: err, I didn't mean that ebsco thing in a challenging way, more in a  "sigh they are well funded" way.
22:05 bag             consensus at its finiest
22:05 BobB            like bag said
22:05 schnydszch      4am was the start of the meeting for the philippines ;)
22:05 cait            i am confused

22:09 Joubu           Thanks cait
22:09 Joubu           good night/day all!
22:09 thd             We should always be prepared to revisit issues, but I think that we are moving away from what had been a good consensus which was least bad for almost everyone.
22:09 BobB            cait I can chair when you can't but I cannot offer to do it regularly
22:09 BobB            and a european is more likely available for most meetings
22:09 thd             s/what/what hours/
22:10 * thd           heads to a meeting.
