06:10 cait             @later tell Joubu some names (mark and me) appear doubled up as Rescues - what is a rescue?
06:10 huginn`          cait: The operation succeeded.

06:13 ashimema         I added rescues.. maybe I got the query wrong subtly
06:14 ashimema         a rescue is taking a bug from a status of "Failed QA" or "Patch doesn't apply" to a "better" status (at the moment moving it from those to anything counts)..
06:15 ashimema         I wanted to gamify rescuing of patches that have got left dormant.. perhaps I should add in a diff on older dates.. but for now it's nice to just get people paying attention to fixing qa failures and brining patches back into being appliable.
06:15 ashimema         :)
06:16 ashimema         next on my hit list is fixing the new devs

09:05 vfernandes       hi #koha
11:27 oleonard         Hi #koha
11:40 calire           hi oleonard
11:40 wahanui          hi oleopard
11:49 oleonard         Okay I've read email now what
11:57 ashimema         it's quiet today
11:57 ashimema         calire.. what do you see as the next steps for recalls ?
12:47 caroline_catlady hello everyone!
12:49 oleonard         Hi caroline_catlady and inlibro, the digital personification of the company inlibro
12:51 caroline_catlady We asked an intern to add IRC to our Mattermost, but I don't think he understood the task. I want MY IRC in MY Mattermost, not just "inlibro"
12:51 ashimema         lol
12:54 * oleonard       had not heard of Mattermost until now
12:56 caroline_catlady We use it as our internal chat
12:56 caroline_catlady , no slack for us
12:57 * ashimema       would love to wean ptfs-e off slack
12:57 ashimema         can mattermosts talk to each other?
12:57 oleonard         It looks pretty slick
12:57 caroline_catlady I think the major point is that you can host it yourself
12:57 ashimema         I like that I have shared channels in slack to talk directly to Bywater and Interleaf for example
12:58 caroline_catlady ashimema: not sure... we do have "public" channels
12:58 ashimema         federation does tend to be hard
12:58 caroline_catlady Our clients can reach us through that, but we don't advertise it, we prefer to they through the ticket platform
12:59 caroline_catlady Right now our public channel is mostly used to send jokes and stuff like that amonst ourselves
13:01 caroline_catlady I see that I can add several servers
13:01 oleonard         In other worse the public channel is the most important facet of your organization's entire communications array
13:01 ashimema         cool
13:02 calire           looks nice
13:27 oleonard         Hi wizzyrea
14:21 wizzyrea         hi :)
14:21 * wizzyrea       yawns
14:27 * oleonard       seconds that yawn
14:34 caroline_catlady ppl who work for support companies, what do you ask of clients in terms of data extraction from their old software?
14:34 caroline_catlady Do you ask them to give you the data, and they have to figure out how to extract it? Or do you offer to extract it from them?
14:35 caroline_catlady *for them
14:37 caroline_catlady I can't deal with the back and forth anymore, it's so draining -_- They don't know the software they've been using for years...
14:40 oleonard         caroline_catlady: I imagine that's something which is negotiated in the contract, with data extraction being an option

14:53 cait             caroline_catlady: we ask for the data and they have to figure it out
14:53 cait             if we happen to know how it works we would give them hints of course, butoften we don't
14:53 cait             and they have to ask the current vendor to do it
14:54 cait             I think someone once argued that it might be a legal issue if they gave you access to the db, as the db schema is often kind of 'secret'
14:59 kidclamp         I believe we also ask for the data and do not go fetch it for them

15:58 bag              caroline_catlady: We will definitely give as much assistance as we can.  Sometimes we connect current libraries with past libraries that have successfully extracted data from said database.
15:59 bag              Always praying that they have saved their notes ;).  (usually we do ask them to keep their notes)
15:59 cait             bag, caroline_catlady. we've done that too, but just a much lower number o fmigrations for us - and not many double ups with ILS
16:00 cait             bye all, cya later for hte meeting
16:01 bag              yeah I think we’ve had multiples of every system so far.  the rarist for us is ISIS (just not many of those in the US Market)
16:04 reiveune         bye
16:28 ashimema         We do a mix here
16:28 ashimema         Generally they have to try and get it out.. though we do fairly often help too (
16:29 ashimema         We've got lots of experience of other systems in our midst so generally can offer a fair bit of help and find giving that help early prevents pain later on
16:30 ashimema         We also pride ourselves sometimes on helping people get their data out in creative ways if their previous system support people want to charge them a fortune to get their own data
16:30 ashimema         caroline_catlady ^
16:43 bag              those are great points ashimema
16:44 bag              heya cait

19:12 ashimema         #info We've started pushing small enhancements now, having been concentrating mostly on bugs for the last month.
19:13 ashimema         I intend to continue with small enhancements, nothing earth shattering for a couple more weeks whilst 19.05.x is still bedding in, but then I hope to have a more adventurous window of a couple of months for the bigger new features and enhancements.
19:15 ashimema         I've been trying to touch base with various parties who I know have things in the pipeline so I can help spread out SO/QA resources so let me know if you have anything like that (beware though.. throwing bugs at me to ask for SO/QA's on means I'll likely throw a few back for SO/QA from others) :)
19:15 ashimema         that's my piece.. any questions for the RM?
19:16 ashimema         rmaints?
19:16 wahanui          rmaints is probably fridolin, lucas and wizzyrea
19:16 oleonard         probably
19:16 wahanui          probably is too hard.

19:20 amoyano          #info Agustin Moyano, Theke Solutions
19:20 cait             worried about the number of bad (blocker, critical and major) bugs we see right now
19:21 ashimema         indeed.. we need eyes on those
19:21 cait             #info Currently we face 1 blocker, 3 criticals and 21 majors, patch writers, testers and QA people needed
19:22 ashimema         Thanks cait
19:22 cait             #info additional testing/sign-offs on some of the long sitting patches in QA queue would be great to get more confidence in passing them along
19:22 cait             nothing more from me
19:23 ashimema         :)
19:23 ashimema         #topic General development discussion
19:23 ashimema         we have a point points today
19:23 ashimema         #topic Bugzilla status proposals
19:24 * ashimema       realises now her forgot to link the agenda
19:24 ashimema         #link https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting_26_June_2019 Agenda
19:24 cait             me too :)
19:24 ashimema         So.. I think we've actually voted on these bugzilla status proposals before.. but we've not managed to impliment the changes yet
19:25 ashimema         I basically propose a bit of a tidy up of some of our no longer used status's and to get the 'Pushed to..' status's to match our debian releases
19:25 ashimema         i.e stable, oldstable and oldoldstable.
19:26 cait             only question i have is if we need to resolve existing bugs having status to be deleted (but not sur e they exist)
19:26 ashimema         probably not much more to discuss there unless anyone has any issues they'd like to point out.
19:26 ashimema         I want to touch base with rangi on that one cait :)
19:26 cait             ok :)
19:27 ashimema         next topic
19:27 thd              #info Thomas Dukleth, Agogme, New York City
19:27 cait             so we are going to do it, right?
19:27 ashimema         I think so, yes
19:27 cait             once you do it, can you ping me? I'd try and update the wiki
19:28 cait             and I'd like to propose removal of some fields from the bugzilla form for next meeting
19:28 ashimema         we already voted to say yes.. this is just a friendly reminder about it as time has passed and that I'm going to pin it down and get it done ;)
19:28 cait             I think less could we more there
19:28 cait             could be
19:28 ashimema         so.. moving on
19:28 ashimema         agree.. wuold love to see such a proposal on the next meeting :)
19:29 ashimema         I agree.. but I hadn't got anything ready to propose for this one ;)
19:29 ashimema         so..
19:29 ashimema         #topic Deprecate package support for Debian 8 and Ubuntu 16.04
19:29 ashimema         tcohen you may be better at explaining the reasoning for this proposal than me
19:30 ashimema         grr.. the bug linked on the agenda isn't the right one
19:30 tcohen           Jessie has entered maintenance (security) only, no new stuffs, that's what I understood
19:30 cait             we'll find it
19:31 cait             bug 23128
19:31 huginn`          Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23128 major, P5 - low, ---, mirko, In Discussion , Missing Net::OAuth2::AuthorizationServer dependency
19:31 cait             fixing wiki
19:31 tcohen           and 16.04 is based on jessie
19:31 ashimema         thanks, that's the one
19:31 tcohen           if we want the REST API Oauth2 to work out of the box, we need this
19:31 ashimema         So, yes..
19:32 tcohen           people using jessie and 16.04 can still install Koha
19:32 cait             fixed
19:32 ashimema         Jessie is in maintanence mode already, and that's due to come to an end in a couple of months I believe
19:32 tcohen           things won't be installed automatically, but they can cpanm them
19:32 ashimema         and.. we have some packaging issues that nessesitate we drop support
19:32 tcohen           there's a problem in packages names that prevents a solution that fits all
19:33 cait             so that would be for 19.11 right?
19:33 cait             or also for the maintenance releases
19:34 ashimema         So.. do we need to vote on this or do we feel it's nessesary to the extent that we just need to do it.
19:34 cait             I trust Mirko there
19:34 tcohen           cait: we need drojf, but I'm sure 19.05 is involved
19:34 tcohen           I trust him as well
19:35 ashimema         from what drojf was saying I believe it will only affect 'new installs'
19:35 thd              We should probably vote in any case unless we have a standing policy.
19:35 ashimema         so existing installations tracking the repositories should be fine as they should already have any required dependancies installed
19:36 * ashimema       comes up with how to phrase the vote
19:36 cait             that's always the hard part :)
19:37 oleonard         "Should we do this thing?" Yes/No
19:37 ashimema         #startvote Can we deprecate support for Debian 8 (Jessie) and Ubuntu 16.04 in the packages? Yes, No

19:41 ashimema         #topic Proposal to fork 'simple keyboard project'
19:41 tcohen           This needs a better wording hehe
19:41 ashimema         #info This is a proposal to maintain our own fork of the 'simple keyboard project' to allow community members to contribute new keyboard layouts.
19:42 amoyano          actually it's Mottie Keyboard proyect
19:42 cait             I am not sure I understood yet why the fork is needed
19:42 ashimema         #info We will need to work on a process for keeping our fork up to date with upstream whilst maintaining our fork.
19:42 cait             do we already have a demand for new layouts/is the project not open for those?
19:42 tcohen           I think this went the wrong way
19:42 tcohen           let me explain a bit
19:43 tcohen           we (Koha) use other external projects (like some jquery libs) and usually just bundle the minified version in our codebase
19:43 tcohen           on adding this keyboard (JS lib)
19:43 * ashimema       is coming to this one cold..
19:43 tcohen           we thought it would be nice to have a clear path to
19:43 * ashimema       listens intently :)
19:44 tcohen           - keep it up to date
19:44 tcohen           - allow community users to propose custom layouts that could be of use
19:44 tcohen           we don't really need to fork them now
19:44 wizzyrea         I feel like we should just contribute to their upstream, assuming they are active enough?
19:44 tcohen           we have a request from Irma to add maori
19:44 tcohen           that belongs to upstream, we don't need to fork it
19:45 tcohen           just send the layout and follow the steps to update our copy
19:45 tcohen           but
19:45 josef_moravec    they are active, I added Czech language support recently: https://github.com/Mottie/Keyboard/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed
19:45 tcohen           the customer that asked for this dev showed us some screenshots
19:45 tcohen           of another system's 'symbols shortcut'
19:46 tcohen           that we thought at some point it would be a nice thing to have
19:46 tcohen           but it is not something we really need to do now
19:46 josef_moravec    it is nice thing to have ;)
19:46 cait             josef_moravec++ :)
19:47 tcohen           what we wanted was a way to keep things up to date
19:47 cait             so maybe not quite a fork... but having it 'forked' in our repo to speed up changes in Koha while waiting for it to be accepted?
19:47 tcohen           and maybe have our own layouts
19:47 ashimema         #info it's Mottie Keyboard and not Simple Keyboard Project
19:47 wizzyrea         that isn't something we think the upstream would take straight away?
19:47 tcohen           the idea was to have a mirror of their repo in the gitlab/koha-community place
19:48 tcohen           and if required, maybe have our own branch
19:48 ashimema         I've never been a huge fan of our bundling.. it would be nice to be able to lean on CDN's for delivery of such resources
19:48 tcohen           with a gitlab-ci script to auto-generate the file that needs to be included in Koha
19:49 cait             makes sense to me now
19:49 thd              Mirroring their repo and adding a Koha branch if we need to be ahead of their release cycle seems prudent and modest non-forking choice.
19:49 oleonard         This could be a trial for using npm to install JS assets for Koha
19:49 Nemo_bis         it's a pain to override hardcoded CDN URLs when you don't want to send all your users' IP addresses to some CDN server
19:49 ashimema         so less of a fork more of a mirror that may be marginally ahead of the origin whilst things get submitted upstream
19:50 tcohen           oleonard: that'd be ideal
19:50 tcohen           ashimema: exactly
19:50 ashimema         so that makes sense to me
19:50 tcohen           we don't need this to move this dev, as it is fully functional and all, but once maori is accepted upstream, we would like a clear maintenance path
19:50 josef_moravec    it seems reasonable to me
19:50 oleonard         tcohen: I've been starting to look at how that would work, so we should talk about it
19:50 tcohen           or czech
19:50 ashimema         and I take onboard Nemo_bis's point about not wanting to send people IP's to CDN's
19:51 cait             yep my point too
19:51 tcohen           oleonard: I'll send amoyano in your direction he
19:51 cait             so should we vote or just do it?
19:51 ashimema         also.. as good as CDN coverage is.. we support koha everywhere and coverage is not always 100% (I'm looking at you, local small library not connected to the internet)
19:51 wizzyrea         i'm really not in favor of using CDN's
19:52 wizzyrea         like 99% nope
19:52 ashimema         whose going to front such a project.. how do we go about maintaining it?
19:52 ashimema         should such layouts go through our own SO/QA process etc?
19:52 ashimema         before being submitted upstream?
19:53 tcohen           I'd postpone this until we really need a custom layout
19:53 ashimema         forward mirror is it then.. we just need to work out the details between us...
19:53 cait             these are goo dquestions, we need to nail processes down for some of our side projects as well that are hosted on gitlab
19:54 ashimema         I feel like it could warrant it's own mini maintainer each cycle.. a topic expert with a bit of extra power whose responsability it is to make sure our contributions to that project are sound
19:54 ashimema         food for thought
19:54 wizzyrea         on the one hand you don't want people to waste their time
19:54 wizzyrea         on the other -- the person submitting the patch to that other upstream should feel confident enough in their work to submit it there as well?
19:55 thd              Seeing no objection it should be possible to do something without a vote on some occasions if it does not deprecate or break some previous process as with the previous question where deprecating Jessie might interfere with someone's plan's as it is still today the long term stable distribution.
19:55 wizzyrea         without a lot of bureaucracy from our side
19:55 ashimema         indeed
19:56 ashimema         I'm still seriously wondering about even needing to have our own copy that's ahead
19:57 oleonard         We've got a lot to get through... can we table this for now?
19:57 ashimema         feels like we just need to commit to staying up to date with upstream and then people submit back to that project rather than us directly
19:57 thd              If we do not need our own copy ahead then there will be no need to take the trouble to create such.
19:57 ashimema         whilst the project is active that should work fine
19:57 cait             so get your chances into the project... file a bug with koha to updated packaged?
19:57 wizzyrea         ++ to that
19:58 ashimema         we just need a solid process to ensure we stay up to date with upstream.. so the gitlab-ci type stuff perhaps fits there still
19:58 cait             and if we turnout to need something very specific, we create the 'fork'
19:58 ashimema         agreed
19:58 tcohen           NOOP
19:59 ashimema         Feels like we've reached somewhat of a concensus.. I'll write up a summary of this conversation on the bug and we can discus further next meeting if needed?
19:59 wizzyrea         yep
20:00 cait             info?
20:00 wahanui          info is largely out there.. just not especially well summarised
20:00 tcohen           +1
20:00 cait             or an agreed maybe
20:00 ashimema         #info ashimema will write a summary of the above conversation and submit it to the bug..
20:00 ashimema         moving on
20:00 davidnind        +1
20:01 ashimema         #topic What are the workflows with regards maintaining the mana-kb serverside project
20:01 ashimema         So... this one was me
20:01 ashimema         we're not at all clear yet on how we intend on maintaining the mana-kb server project.
20:02 cait             someone from Biblibre around?
20:02 ashimema         We've got a whoe series of bugs open on it, but no clear flow for SO/QA/Pushing/Deploying
20:02 ashimema         no alex_a here :(
20:03 ashimema         We have had bugs recorded in both gitlab and bugzilla.. I've now disabled the gitlab issue tracking and added a link to bugzilla instead (so we're at least only tracking in one place now)
20:03 ashimema         but how do we envisage actually testing any code that's submitted for that project?
20:03 ashimema         open to the floor.. basically.. I need help understanding how to move things forward there
20:04 cait             basically I think next time we need to have this discussion before integration :)
20:04 cait             I have no idea how to handle it well, but I think a first step would be to flesh out the wiki for Mana (and Hea): https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Website_Administration
20:04 cait             right now we haven't even documented who runs the server that we ship by defalut and who can be approached
20:05 ashimema         as the most involved there aren't here right now.. I'm going to suggest we move on as we're already an hour in.
20:05 ashimema         I'll bring this one back up as required next meeting no doubt
20:05 cait             I'd love ot see this not limited to people from the company hosting, but like other services to include other people as well
20:05 ashimema         #info Mana (and HEA) discussion shelved untill next meeting.
20:06 ashimema         agreed.. but I think it needs to start with the original authors to help get more people onboard with it.
20:06 ashimema         #topic Moving PayPal payments into a plugin
20:06 josef_moravec    I think the standard SO/QA proccess would be great for side projects too...
20:06 ashimema         tcohen.. another of yours..
20:06 tcohen           amoyano's
20:07 * cait           waves at amoyano
20:07 amoyano          Sorry
20:08 * ashimema       adds joesf_moravec to his list of interested Mana parties and will approach him tomorrow with idea's regarding how to bring it inline with our SO/QA process
20:08 amoyano          I made a plugin that implements paypal logic
20:08 tcohen           #link https://gitlab.com/thekesolutions/plugins/koha-plugin-pay-via-paypal
20:08 ashimema         amoyano++
20:08 tcohen           amoyano++
20:08 amoyano          now, plugin and logic within koha can cohexist
20:09 amoyano          but it would be nice to deprecate the code in next releases
20:09 ashimema         so.. this can run alongside the existing in core paypal if I understand it correctly (for now)
20:09 amoyano          yes, that's right
20:09 ashimema         and we can work on a plan to transisition out the core support over a couple of cycles and help people move to using the plugin as an alternative?
20:09 ashimema         brill
20:10 cait             I have talked to tochen about it - one regression would be translatability, but I tihnk you have been working on a solution?
20:10 * ashimema       really wants to work on a 'plugin store' at some point soon
20:10 josef_moravec    ashimema++
20:11 thd              What is the translatability solution?
20:11 alexbuckley      ashimema++
20:11 cait             to explain, the paypal core code includes some strings that would be not translatable with our current approach to plugins
20:11 amoyano          we use the eds approach
20:11 amoyano          placing translatable strings in .inc files
20:11 ashimema         what is the eds approach?
20:11 tcohen           https://github.com/ebsco/edsapi-koha-plugin/tree/master/Koha/Plugin/EDS/bootstrap/includes/lang
20:12 cait             is there a fallbadk to english if an entry would be missing?
20:12 amoyano          yes, that's the default language
20:13 tcohen           it uses getlanguage
20:13 cait             amoyano++ :) I was long waiting for this
20:13 ashimema         I think plugins authors need to be responsible for their translatability and translations.. but we need to advocate some best practices
20:13 ashimema         and.. with a plugins store we could highlight 'better' and 'worse' supported plugins which would include how well maintained the translations are.
20:13 amoyano          that's what we've been trying to do
20:13 amoyano          including gitlab-ci
20:14 cait             it could be a requirement for acceptance into the store... or at least a searchable criteria
20:14 ashimema         agreed cait
20:14 * ashimema       has plans for said project.. I'm building an RFC at the moment and then will start coding and then look for additional volunteers
20:14 ashimema         but that's another story ;)
20:15 cait             :)
20:15 cait             so what is the proposed timeline? to get discussion back on track :)
20:15 ashimema         shall we jump on again
20:15 ashimema         #info Theke (amoyano in particular) have build a Paypal online payments plugin
20:16 cait             I think we could deprecate the core code with 19.11
20:16 tcohen           cait: it only lacks all currently supported languages
20:16 cait             having the plugin as option
20:16 cait             and then have it removed in 20.05
20:16 ashimema         #info We should look at deprecating the core PayPal code some time during the next couple of cycles
20:16 tcohen           we can fix that with a script
20:16 ashimema         #info We need to work on further plugin guidlines and infrestucture (a plugin store for example) to build a path ahead for this.
20:17 cait             tcohen: if you could use existing translations to populate the plugin ones that would be awesome
20:17 ashimema         I'd say we can aim for 19.11 but keep 20.05 as a backstop
20:17 * ashimema       shivers as he realises he just used a brexit term
20:17 amoyano          there is a release available at https://gitlab.com/thekesolutions/plugins/koha-plugin-pay-via-paypal/-/releases for anyone who cares to try
20:17 * cait           hands ashimema some gin with arugula
20:18 ashimema         #link https://gitlab.com/thekesolutions/plugins/koha-plugin-pay-via-paypal/-/releases PayPal Plugin
20:18 ashimema         how are people doing.. shall we knock off any more or are we running out of steam
20:19 cait             i tihnk having jajm for the mojo one could be nice
20:19 * ashimema       is happy to postpone the next ones for next meeting if people are struggling
20:19 cait             is there something peopl eneed an urgent decision on in the list still?
20:19 ashimema         Skip to review of coding guidlines I reckon
20:19 tcohen           I'm leaving now, sorry!
20:19 * amoyano        has to go, and says goodbye to everyone
20:20 ashimema         I don't think the other two are painful
20:20 thd              I am happy for either choice.
20:20 ashimema         SQL12 was for tcohen in the coding guidlines
20:20 cait             maybe postpone that too?
20:20 ashimema         Right..
20:21 ashimema         #info remainder of General topic for discussion will be posponed to the next meeting
20:21 ashimema         #topc Review of coding guidelines
20:21 ashimema         #info We will postpone the review of the coding guidelines untill the next meetng when those invovled should be present.
20:21 ashimema         #topic Set time of next meeting
20:22 ashimema         Right.. that all important last one.
20:22 ashimema         two weeks time, back to EU afternoon?
20:22 ashimema         does that suit most..
20:23 cait             sounds good to me (being in Europe)
20:24 ashimema         so that's the 10th right..
20:24 hayley           Today's meeting time suits better for us NZers, we'd love to keep attending but it's hard if it's super early morning
20:24 ashimema         General meeting that day in the evening for us eu's
20:24 wizzyrea         it rotates around the world :)
20:24 wizzyrea         the time
20:24 wahanui          the time is, like, har dto find,... but i put in cait's todo - just tons in there already
20:24 wizzyrea         forget the time
20:24 wahanui          wizzyrea: I forgot time
20:24 hayley           Alrighty :)
20:24 cait             heh wahanui
20:24 alexbuckley      :)
20:25 ashimema         I'm hoping to stick to a rotation of two times.. with the second time being that bit later for the europeans than it has been last couple of cycles.. in the hopes of catching you guys in NZ
20:25 ashimema         :)
20:25 alexbuckley      thanks ashimema!
20:25 cait             hm not sure if later works
20:25 ashimema         so next one will likely be terrible for you guys.. but then after that a much better one again
20:25 cait             maybe more an early morning one
20:25 wizzyrea         (but I totally know that it sucks for nzers)
20:25 cait             for euorpe
20:25 cait             to catch nz in the evening
20:25 cait             like we catch them now in the morning
20:25 ashimema         early morning kills the US doesn't it?
20:26 cait             it always kills somoene
20:27 cait             it's always bad for some timezone, that should read
20:27 davidnind        We don't won't anyone to be killed! :-D
20:28 ashimema         7am UK = 6PM NZ but 2AM USA
20:28 cait             yep that's the issue
20:28 ashimema         8pm UK = 7am NZ = 4pm USA
20:29 cait             this is late for Europe too, 9pm
20:29 ashimema         that certainly seems like the golden hour if we want to try and include as many as possible
20:29 cait             well...10 30 now and my laundry is waiting :)
20:29 ashimema         lets stick to afternoon EU for the next one.. i'd like to catch biblibre for the HEA and Mana points
20:29 ashimema         so..
20:29 cait             I think it being outside work ours is an issue for quite a lot
20:29 ashimema         sorry NZ.. I love you all really
20:30 thd              I prefer the early morning meeting times when they happen because I have not needed to go out yet and I never have trouble going back to sleep if necessary.
20:30 hayley           we understand :)
20:31 ashimema         so..
20:31 ashimema         does 10th Aug, 14:00 UTC sound reasonable for everyone else
20:32 ashimema         #info Next meeting: 10 August 2019, 14:00:00 UTC
20:32 ashimema         done

20:32 * ashimema       goes to grab a beer
20:33 ashimema         thanks for hanging in there guys.. I realise it was a long one.
20:33 thd              Did you mean August not July?
20:33 ashimema         July
20:33 ashimema         crap
20:33 davidnind        ashimema++
20:33 ashimema         me brain is going to mush
20:33 hayley           thanks everyone!
20:34 alexbuckley      ashimema++ thanks for chairing the meeting :)
20:34 alexbuckley      thanks all
20:34 cait             ashimema++
20:34 thd              Should you start a momentary corrective meeting for fixing the month?
20:37 ashimema         I'll fix it script side
20:37 ashimema         I have the power ;)
20:37 thd              :)
20:38 * thd            is off to fix a troublesome broken computer
22:15 cait             I just did a reset_all... and have this error when searching for test in the OPAC: Can't call method "get_coins" on an undefined value at /home/vagrant/kohaclone/opac/opac-search.pl line 689
22:15 cait             anyone seen this?
22:16 cait             turning of coins helps things... but then I have a 404 trying to access the detail page
22:17 rangi            rebuild zebra?
22:18 cait             the reset_all already does that
22:18 cait             i just pulled latest changes to misc4dev
22:18 cait             maybe it will fix the issue
22:18 rangi            it sure looks like the index is wrong
22:18 cait             it looks lk the data i snot there
22:18 cait             because detai page doesn't work either, but result list does without coins active
22:18 rangi            yeah rebuild doesnt work
22:19 cait             the records always end up with the same numbers
22:19 cait             with reset_all
22:19 rangi            yeah thats why i dont use it
22:19 rangi            i do things the way that users would
22:19 cait             it really makes my life a ton easier
22:19 cait             but i don't reset often, i build up my own data as long as i can
22:19 rangi            i think dev scripts make us lazy and prone to miss things
22:19 cait             the newer version of the misc4dev fixed the issue
22:20 rangi            the more we do things different to what we would expect users to do
22:20 rangi            the less useful they are
22:20 cait             it leaves a lot to setup
22:20 cait             do you rememer why we have a lst location column on opac-reserves?
22:21 rangi            lst?
22:21 cait             last
22:21 cait             it seems odd
22:21 rangi            nope
22:21 cait             we have home library and then: last location
22:21 cait             and it will only display if it's different from home library...
22:21 rangi            no idea
22:21 cait             I think last location seems confusing... just another term for 'current location'
22:22 rangi            not something i added, that's all i know :)
22:22 rangi            yeah
22:22 cait             so you won't get grumpy at least
22:22 cait             :)
22:22 rangi            i probbaly got grumpy when someone changed it from current to last :)
