Time Nick Message 09:10 chris yeah, i find new ones on google everytime i look 09:05 mason and we always say "umm, lots more than we know of" 09:05 chris yep, they sure do 09:04 mason as nic says: libraries interested in koha *always* ask about usage/deployment stats 09:04 chris yep 09:02 mason but i think most will agree it could be work the small amount of effort 09:02 chris yep 09:01 mason an idea that will get discussed a bit before it happens... while we agree on the best method 08:59 chris the bib and item totals would be very interesting 08:58 mason and bib and item totals 08:58 mason we could even get (with admins permission, of course) stats on cpu/ram/disk info 08:57 nicomo ++ for all of the above: it's often asked about by libraries looking at Koha 08:55 mason yes, agreed 08:54 chris as long as its totally voluntary, i think its a great idea 08:54 mason that info alone would be veery useful 08:53 mason sure 08:53 mason would be good , for people trying to start local usergroups 08:53 chris plus we have all the stats about os, versions of software 08:53 chris yep 08:52 mason theres some location info right there.... 08:52 mason IP, host.domain etc 08:52 mason yep 08:52 chris it could use the info thats already there, to populate most of it 08:51 mason yes, good idea 08:51 chris as part of the about section 08:51 paul then, when going to production, he may want to answer 08:51 chris i like that idea 08:51 mason with other important stats on OS usage, locations etc... 08:50 chris *nod* 08:50 paul I think this option should be in koha itself too. Because someone installing just for testing may not want to answer during tests. 08:50 mason and we start geting some usage stats 08:49 mason the idea is an option in the web-installer that send a koha-registration form back to a server somewhere 08:49 chris whats the idea? 08:48 mason that might take a bit of addintional setup, but would be useful to the project in general 08:47 mason ive been thinking about a nice idea for the web-installer... 08:46 mason hey, while yall about 08:45 chris yeah should be fun 08:44 mason very exciting event, a 1st for me 08:41 chris pizza and beer from catalyst :) 08:39 mason ooh, brought to us by cafenet 08:38 mason done 08:37 mason oooh, thx 08:37 chris ? 08:37 chris mason: regitered here http://softwarefreedomday.org.nz/ 08:35 chris hi paul 08:35 chris yes, i remember the travel when russel and I came to france .. its a long way :-) 08:35 nicomo hi paul 08:35 nicomo but I'd certainly would pack the scuba if taht was me going over there 08:34 paul hello world 08:34 chris heh 08:34 nicomo and it mostly rained 08:34 nicomo 24h travel 08:34 mason pack the scuba 08:34 nicomo he hated it 08:34 nicomo afair 08:34 nicomo yes he has 08:34 chris ahh paul has already been there, if i remember right 08:34 mason angle 08:33 mason work the Nouvelle-Calédonie angel ;) 08:33 nicomo indeed 08:33 chris there is quite a lot of interest in the pacific .. im hoping mason gets some work out of it :-) 08:33 chris hehe yes 08:33 nicomo cool too: I'd love to do that workshop too, but it's a bit too far from France, I guesss :-) 08:32 chris my friend chris (another one) is off to the cook islands next week, to upgrade their national library to koha 3 08:32 nicomo probably in a couple of months 08:32 nicomo yes, I think it went down well and they'll go into production with it 08:32 chris yep sure is 08:31 mason niiiice 08:31 chris did that go well? 08:31 nicomo it's nice to see Koha implemented in developping countries 08:31 chris ohhh cool 08:31 nicomo was away 5 days in morocco for 2 koha workshops 08:31 nicomo hi mason 08:30 mason heya nicomo 08:30 nicomo yes... 08:30 mason i guess ive just adjusted to it - so doubles seem weak.. 08:30 chris coffee drinker nicomo? 08:30 nicomo hi chris 08:30 mason i think i tovetops are 4 shots 08:29 chris we have a machine on level 3, so ive been getting some practice 08:29 mason my stove-tops are stronger tho ;( 08:28 mason yeah, so i hear 08:28 chris a lot of it is in the grind 08:28 chris nice 08:28 mason so i get to brain-dump his skillz to my machine ;) 08:27 mason hes a 4 years barista 08:27 mason i bumped into old friends down the road recently , and zane has an identical model 08:26 chris cool 08:26 mason so far, so good 08:26 mason 40 bux from TM 08:26 chris oh yeah? working out? 08:26 mason ive been trying out my 1st esspresso machine 08:25 mason hiya chrissa 08:22 chris hi nicomo 08:21 chris hey mason 06:24 mason http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/08/hans-reiser-s-1.html 06:24 mason sheesh , in other linux related news... 23:02 pianohacker g'night all 21:43 pianohacker bye 21:43 Ahmuck gnite. nice meeting ya'll 21:29 pianohacker yah 21:29 rhcl Yea. Diff server. 21:29 pianohacker rhcl: That's on freenode 21:29 rhcl Interestingly enough, you can register a nick on kohanews. 21:27 Ahmuck a level of trust i suppose 21:27 Ahmuck ah. works for me 21:21 acmoore from what I can gather, it is not done. 21:20 Ahmuck how does one register a nick here? 21:02 pianohacker cya 21:01 chris ok, im on kid duty, and he has finished breakfast .. might cya later:) good weekend all 21:01 chris ahh, we have a couple of pg developers on staff .. that helps :) 20:59 pianohacker You managed to figure out the authentication side of postgres, that's fairly impressive 20:59 pianohacker ah 20:59 chris pianohacker: cant see why not, we just use postgres more at work 20:58 chris there is also the entire nz electoral roll, which is on a postgres cluster 20:58 pianohacker chris: How about MySQL? I think that port is very stalled right now 20:58 chris postgres works fine handling it 20:58 chris we have a db of about 600k users at work 20:57 Moonstorm they don't use sql 20:56 chris yeah its a pretty known problem and not jsut restricted to the library world (like marc searching) so lots of ideas we can use :) 20:56 Moonstorm gramps-project has some type of database lookup that is amazingly fast. they do genealogy 20:55 chris its fairly structured data, and much less mad than marc ;) 20:55 chris yeah i think we could do that in sql 20:54 pianohacker Hopefully we can avoid Zebra and its endless indexing pain 20:53 pianohacker I wonder how we're going to implement fast patron search for libraries that have as many borrowers as mine has bibs (~15000) 20:52 chris ohh long weekend for you guys eh 20:52 chris *nod* 20:50 atz very cool library system 20:49 atz yeah, they want to do big things 20:48 acmoore mainly developers, though, it seems. Some libraries have folks that drop in, especially when they're getting started. 20:47 acmoore a little of both. 20:47 Moonstorm so, is this channel a users or a developer channel? 20:45 Moonstorm ok. i'll poke around and see. i'm curious 20:44 acmoore I guess it's possible they made a bunch of local modifications and didn't submit them. 20:43 atz all regular stuff in the main repo 20:43 atz http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=summary 20:42 Moonstorm hrm. any from Oregon? 20:42 pianohacker Good morning 20:42 chris morning all :) 20:42 chris i see a couple from howard county tho 20:41 chris ditto for ckls :) 20:41 chris yeah looking at the git log, i dont see any patches 20:41 Moonstorm http://www.ckls.org/ - I was thinking of this one. I understand they hired a programming group out of Oregon to make some changes 20:40 Moonstorm er, wrong library. 20:40 owen Yeah, atz doesn't even know how many houses he has 20:39 atz or maybe I'm confusing with some of the other KS consortia we support now... 20:39 atz i'd have to check our project DB 20:38 owen okay, atz, am I wrong? 20:38 atz Moonstorm: a lot of it is still in progress, i think 20:38 owen Moonstorm: I'm not sure of the details, but I didn't think it was "heavy" 20:36 Moonstorm hi. does anybody know what contributions have been made by http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/ ? I understand they did some heavy development on koha for thier own use 20:12 atz i think that's the most current, where available 20:12 pianohacker atz: the stow extensions on contribs.koha.org? 20:07 atz pianohacker: galens hold reports, i think 20:06 pianohacker koha libraries: what do you use to find out what needs pulled? 20:06 owen pianohacker: it's working for me in some fashion, at least 20:05 pianohacker Eh. 20:05 atz lo 20:05 owen Naw, most of those reports are just for show. 20:01 pianohacker Is circ/pendingreserves.pl supposed to work? 19:15 gmcharlt go for it, danny 19:15 danny good enough for me, owen 19:15 danny hehe 19:14 owen I've wished for it, danny. Does that count? 19:08 danny for example, to make it possible to search on fields like email, address, phone number 19:08 danny ok before I send this out as an rfc to koha-devel, has anyone talked about adding any type of advanced patron search to koha? 18:20 atz Kyle: everybody should have zebra... it they want to run nozebra they can toggle it off, but it's not worth a separate VM imho 18:19 gmcharlt Kyle: retrieving file now 18:01 Kyle new link : http://www.ccfls.org/temp/Koha3-Zebra-Unconfigured_Debian-Etch_VMWare.zip 18:00 Kyle let me change the file name. 18:00 Kyle I suppose we should put Zebra in the filename, so we can also have a NoZebra version too. 17:59 Kyle gmcharlt: Here's the link : http://www.ccfls.org/temp/Koha3-Unconfigured_Debian-Etch_VMWare.zip 17:01 Kyle will do. brb. 17:01 gmcharlt Kyle: send me a URL to grab it from, and I'll make sure it gets put up on the downloads site 16:58 Kyle it's 741.1 MB. Kados mentioned puting on download.koha.org, but we decided to wait until 3.0 was out before putting one up. 16:57 gmcharlt upload as a contrib? 16:57 gmcharlt how big is it? 16:56 Kyle I just rolled a unconfigured koha3 vmware appliance. Any idea how I get it onto koha.org? 16:55 acmoore hi Kyle 16:54 Kyle hey all. 16:30 hdl should there be a vote ? 16:29 gmcharlt hdl: we'll get something arranged soon 16:24 hdl And since I was willing to contribute on that, i asked. 16:23 hdl This is why I asked. 16:23 hdl ryan: posted a patch for quick push and asked for backport on 3.0. 16:22 gmcharlt hdl: kados or I would be willing to do some initial pushing 16:22 gmcharlt hdl: not currently 16:22 hdl ? 16:22 hdl gmcharlt: Is there anyone pushing patches from 3.1 to 3.0 16:15 pianohacker k. 16:13 hdl no problem. 16:10 pianohacker Are you in bugzilla? I'd like to send http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2516 to ya 16:09 hdl pianohacker: yes. 15:59 pianohacker hdl: around? 14:54 danny ok 14:54 ryan i don't know of one. i think plone will offer some benefits there. 14:50 danny am I missing a way to limit it to english? 14:49 danny so many Ukrainian 14:48 danny i am always amazed how many foreign language hits i get when doing searches on the koha wiki 14:38 acmoore I still don't understand IndependantBranches, though! 14:34 acmoore I thought the kiwis had different spelling than that anyway. I guess they use 'ou' and 's' and the other British, Aussie stuff, too. 14:32 acmoore owen++ # Cleans up all my messes and that darned Australian spelling 14:19 hdl would add some hierarchy in budgets. 14:18 owen /lib/jquery/plugins/jquery.treeview.pack 14:18 gmcharlt hdl: yep, the plugin is already in the Koha source tree 14:18 hdl So it would be ok to use it in acquisitions. 14:16 gmcharlt hdl: I have - used for the granular permissions tree 14:15 owen No I haven't 14:14 hdl s/uesd/used/ 14:14 hdl owen : have you ever uesd treeview module in jquery ? 14:03 rhcl But for today, there's 18 registry settings I have to make, I want to install and test timetrex, I need to get started on Greenstone for my MAS project, and we have one videocamera that's kaput. 14:02 gmcharlt sounds good 14:01 rhcl Yea, we've looked that over a couple of times. When we really do pick something out I may select 2-3 items to work on and then ask for suggestions before we begin. 14:00 owen rhcl, you could always browse Bugzilla for stuff to work on :) 13:57 rhcl We will probably start using the serials module for real sometime soon, since we don't have that now, but if we ever do completely migrate we'll definitely get a support contract for Koha. 13:56 rhcl I don't know that we are aware of anything that's a specific problem for us yet. We are still mostly just "playing" with Koha in case our current ILS vendor goes south someday. 13:54 gmcharlt rhcl: good idea. if you need help picking something to start with, are there any small pain points in Koha that you'd like to fix in your own Koha installation? 13:52 rhcl at 17:08 chris said "some small features, or low barrier to entry bugs i can convince ppl to hack on". Actually, we (the two of us here at Rolling Hills Library) are kinda looking for a low-priority project like this to work on. 13:15 kados welcome back paul 13:15 gmcharlt hi paul - have a good vacation? 13:13 atz_ greets paul 13:13 paul hello koha world. I'm back from vacation ! 13:13 atz_ that would change every item in the table 13:12 atz_ kwak: to put all items in one branch, you could just use command-line mysql: update items set homebranch="my_branchcode_here" 13:09 gmcharlt greetings 12:58 atz_ kwak: you can use MarcEdit 12:09 danny hello #koha
