14:01 JYL57 Hy everybody !
14:02 JYL57 I'm looking for some advice about two points : 1) our barcode device 2) the breeding farm import functionnality
14:03 JYL57 Ok I'm starting with my first topic, the barcode
14:03 JYL57 the model we've got comes from Taïwan
14:04 JYL57 I've configured it to read ISBN codes and I do get the right digits
14:04 JYL57 But for an unknown reason we don't get the hyphens
14:05 JYL57 Did someone already experience such a problem ?
14:05 JYL57 I've neglected these hyphen at first, but it becomes a potential problem now
14:16 paul_away bonsoir jean yves
14:16 paul_away (JYL57)
14:17 JYL57 Salut Paul
14:17 paul puor les - dans les codes barres, je crois que c'est habituel
14:17 JYL57 As-tu reçu mon message de milieu de semaine ?!
14:17 paul en tous cas, tous les lecteurs que j'ai utilisé/vus font ca
14:17 paul mmm... fouille ses mails
14:18 paul oui, je l'ai, mais je ne l'ai aps encore traité
14:18 paul (absent toute la semaine dernière)
14:18 JYL57 "font ça quoi ?!" ils prennent en compte les tirets ou pas ?!
14:18 paul ils les éliminent
14:18 JYL57 Pour mon mail = pas d'urgence !
14:18 paul et donc ils n'y sont pas
14:19 JYL57 OK, mon problème c'est la BDP !
14:19 JYL57 Ils veulent des tirets pour à partir d'un fichier de codes barres aller rechercher les notices...
14:19 paul pour les mails de js joliez et s plaudeix :
14:19 paul je t'envoie un mail tout de suite
14:19 JYL57 Mon client Z3950 ne marche pas encore...
14:20 JYL57 Ok ! Mon challenge c'est ce vendredi ou je rencontre l'équipe pour faire un point sur l'informatisation de la bib
14:21 paul le daemon z3950 est bien en marche ?
14:21 paul pour les - dans les ISBN, quel est l'outil qui les impose ? tous ceux que je connais acceptent les isbn avec OU sans -
14:22 JYL57 Non ! because j'ai pas tous les packages PERL requis...
14:22 paul mmm... bizarre ca... tu as pu faire l'installq uand même ?
14:22 JYL57 Je crois qu'aucun outil ne les impose !
14:22 paul on est d'accord, alors ou est le pb ?
14:22 JYL57 Yes ! j'ai eu un warning, mais il est passé ! en 2.0
14:23 paul c'est yaz ?
14:23 JYL57 oui, yaz !
14:23 paul il suffit de le télécharger, de le compiler. Ca passe sans pb sur un linux standard
14:23 JYL57 Mon problème doit ressembler à ce que tu vis à longueur de journée = convaincre que ça fonctionne !
14:23 paul (c'est du C, donc il faut un gcc)
14:24 JYL57 Je sais que ça va marcher, j'ai juste pas assez de temps...
14:24 JYL57 La bibliothécaire que nous avons recruté est novice et ne comprends pas bien l'anglais...
14:25 JYL57 Je dois trouver le temps de lui traduire l'essentiel et de la former
14:25 paul peut etre qu'elle devrait appeler s plaudeix
14:25 paul pour la formation, je mets, pour ce qui me concerne, 2 jours complets.
14:25 JYL57 Pour sûr !!
14:25 JYL57 Aie !!
14:25 paul pourquoi ?
14:25 paul aie ?
14:25 JYL57 J'espérais ne pas devoir prendre autant de temps...
14:26 JYL57 Pendant que tu es là, peut-on importer en masse sans rescanner l'ensemble des bouquins ?!
14:26 paul bien sûr.
14:26 paul misc/bulkmarcimport.pl est ton ami
14:26 JYL57 Yes !
14:27 JYL57 Mais j'ai démarré "Learn PERL in 21 days" seulement il y a 3 jours !!LOL
14:27 paul :-D
14:28 paul si ton fichier est propre, ca marche sans modification particulière
14:28 JYL57 Bon où en êtes-vous sur la 2.2 ?!
14:28 paul le misc/dumpmarc.pl est aussi utile pour "analyser" un fichier iso2709
14:28 paul je suis en train de faire un mail avec tous les bugs recencés sur la 2.2
14:28 paul je corrige et on release.
14:28 paul j'ai installé l'EMN la semaine dernière, ils sont satisfaits
14:28 paul du niveau fonctionnel
14:29 JYL57 Oui ! j'ai trouvé un équivalent qui lit le fichier Unimarc et le rend lisible (MARC.EXE sous Windows)
14:29 paul il ne manque que les bugs à corriger
14:29 JYL57 Donc à ton avis, il vaut mieux avancer sur la 2.2
14:30 JYL57 Nous pensons ouvrir au public dans quelques semaines...
14:31 paul "quelques", ca fait combien ?
14:31 paul 2 => tro pcourt
14:31 paul 5 => ca devrait le faire
14:31 JYL57 OK ! Je vais essayer de gagner ce temps !
14:31 paul je répète et rappelle que ma femme accouche d'ici 2 semaines, donc je serais moins présent pendant 2 ou 3 semaines
14:31 paul et inutile de me demander de me déplacer loin de Marseille...
14:31 JYL57 Ha super ! c'est ton premier !
14:32 paul que nenni.
14:32 paul le 3 eme enfant
14:32 paul le 3eme garçon
14:32 JYL57 Comme moi !
14:32 paul le 3eme accouchement en septembre !
14:32 paul (c'est involontaire pour le mois ;-) )
14:32 JYL57 mes moi, j'ai deux filles ! ;-)
14:32 paul (en + des 3 garçons ?)
14:33 JYL57 NON, trois en tout ! ça fait déjà pas mal...
14:33 paul certes, certes.
14:33 JYL57 Pour aller + loin, il faut que je change d'épouse !
14:33 paul mais tout le monde dit que le 3eme s'élève tout seul !
14:33 paul mmm... pas forcément une bonne idée...
14:33 paul (bientôt 10 ans de mariage pour moi. Maintenant que je suis habitué à ma femme, j'ai pas envie de changer :-D )
14:33 JYL57 T'as raison ! Plus ça va, plus c'est facile (c'est toujours les mecs qui disent ça !)
14:34 JYL57 Moi non plus je ne veux pas changer !
14:34 JYL57 Pour tes interventions, je pense qu'une assistance à distance nous suffirait !
14:34 JYL57 Avec un accès OpenSSh sur notre serveur si besoin est !
14:35 JYL57 J'en ai marre moi aussi des déplacements professionnels !
14:35 paul probablement, surtout si tu es là en 1er déffrichage
14:35 paul pour le contrat, inutile de contacter doXulting, c'est pas leur métier
14:35 paul leur métier, c'est AVANT l'installation du logiciel
14:35 JYL57 Ouais, je suis là jusqu'aux prochaines élections, mais plus après si Koha merde ! :-D
14:36 paul inutile de contacter Linagora, ils sont hors de vos tarifs à priori
14:36 JYL57 Ok !
14:36 paul pas de panique, Koha ne merdera pas ;-)
14:36 paul surtout si je jette un oeil avant mise en production..
14:36 JYL57 Ok ! again
14:36 paul le vrai problème, c'est la documentation, je pense;
14:36 paul on n'a rien de décent en fait
14:37 paul ni en Fr ni en En
14:37 JYL57 Ouais, ça craint !
14:37 JYL57 Il faut relancer une doc en anglais !
14:37 paul héhé... ce n'est pas à moi d'écrire la doc
14:37 paul je ferais un truc illisible & pas utilisable
14:38 paul donc il faut un/des volontaires.
14:38 paul et ca ne court pas les rues.
14:38 JYL57 Etape 1 = un document avec l'arborescence des menus et des copies d'écran
14:38 JYL57 Est-ce que vous bougez encore beaucoup l'interface ?!
14:39 JYL57 Stephen Hedge fait du bon boulot avec l'aide en ligne !!
14:40 JYL57 Ok Paul, je retourne à mes occupations Serveur
14:41 paul a bientôt
14:41 JYL57 Merci pour les @ mails
14:41 paul pour l'interface, ca ne bougera plus
14:41 paul ou très peu
14:41 JYL57 A bientôt et bon courage pour la chasse aux bugs !
14:41 paul merci
16:28 rach hello
16:52 rosa morning
02:20 chris hi paul
02:20 paul hi chris
02:21 chris hows things over there? the storm gone?
02:21 paul the storm ? which one ?
02:23 chris i think on saturday ur time
02:23 chris apparently it damaged the Team NZ yacht
02:23 paul ah, ok. I understand why you know we had a storm a few days ago ;-)
02:23 chris :)
02:23 paul in fact, it was not like Ivan in Cuba today
02:24 paul but it's true I was awaken by the ligthnings
02:24 chris yeah that was amazing 300+ kmph winds
02:30 chris i worked out i can install koha 2.0.1 in 8 minutes the other day
02:30 chris (did fifteen installs)
02:30 paul installing 2.2 will be faster : you have an option to get parameters from a file ;-)
02:30 chris ahh excellent
02:30 paul with uninstall.pl, it's highly easier to test releases !
02:31 chris yeah
02:31 chris i think we might have a new QA person
02:31 chris which would be good
02:31 paul GOOD new
02:31 paul GREAT news in fact.
02:32 paul who is it?
02:32 chris one of the katipo project managers
02:32 chris russel
02:32 paul Great, really great.
02:32 paul I think our future will be :
02:32 paul * Argentina team 2.4 release manager (i didn't ask them yet)
02:32 paul * me release maintainer for 2.2
02:33 paul * Russel QA manager
02:33 chris yeah, they are doing some nea things
02:33 paul * ?? kaitiaki
02:33 chris neat
02:33 paul * ?? doc manager
02:33 chris rachel was talking about being kaitiaki
02:33 paul yes, i remember.
02:33 chris as i dont think anyone else wants to
02:33 chris (its too hard a job for me :-))
02:33 paul so, we just lack a doc manager that can work really on the doc.
02:34 chris yeah
02:34 paul i'm trying to do something for french documentation.
02:34 chris cool
02:34 chris i wonder if regula might want to do it
02:34 chris she would be good because she speaks some german, i think is quite fluent in french, and is very fluent in english
02:35 chris plus is a librarian
02:35 paul i've met a company that sells doc platforms. it's the company that helps mandrake doing their doc
02:36 chris ahh
02:36 paul it would cost some money, but will be a professional help (tech & writing)
02:36 chris yeah
02:36 paul I'll speak of this soon.
02:36 chris that might be what we need
02:36 paul maybe we could organise an IRC meeting in a few days/weeks.
02:36 chris sounds like a good idea
02:36 paul could you ask for this pls ?
02:37 chris sometime before the 26th
02:37 chris yep, ill do that
02:37 paul (on sep, 29, my 3rd son is planned to birth)

02:39 paul childrens may be very intelligent ;-)
02:40 chris i tease her, and say its all just mathematics
02:40 chris i was thinking next year might be time for a koha conference :-)
02:41 paul yes. just need to define in which country...
02:41 chris yeah, probably in europe i think
02:41 chris its quite inexpensive from the US to europe
02:42 chris or maybe south america we could all go to argentina :-)
02:42 chris i think nz would be nice, but too expensive to fly here for most people
02:42 paul yes, right for NZ
02:43 paul argentina may be possible.
02:43 chris i wonder if nz or france are touring argentina for rugby ? :-)
02:44 paul mmm... something like 1000Euros for france=> buenos aires
02:44 chris hmm thats quite expensive
02:45 paul (on phone)
02:45 chris maybe we can sponsored :-)

09:48 emiliano ok
11:51 tim Hey owen
11:51 owen Hi tim
11:51 tim I was wondering how long it was between the time you started you Koha project to the time you started using it.
11:52 owen Well, it's hard to say, because when we started looking at Koha originally (at least two years ago), it wasn't really ready for use--it didn't have MARC support yet.
11:53 owen We probably spent a few months at least figuring out how to get our data out of our old system and into Koha.
11:54 tim I've spent more than that on it.
11:54 tim When it comes to this stuff there is no 'we' here.
11:55 owen We had two people working (although not full-time) on getting Koha's back end going, and one person (me) working on completely overhauling the front end.
11:56 tim It's just me working on it here and I'm learning along the way.
11:56 owen We'd still be waiting if it had just been me!
11:58 tim It's almost time to pay the yearly fee on our current system and they want results on this project.  I think they'll need to go another year.
11:59 owen That's a tough choice--one that we faced as well.  But we were determined to make the switch.  Having gotten the data migrated was really the clincher.  If we hadn't gotten that done, we would have been stuck.
