I havn't really got the time to play with it now, but i'd really like to do it anyway... ;-) 09:23 magnusenger Does the search work? 09:24 chris not yet, it used to with 2.2 09:24 magnusenger how do you implement the search? Against SRU or Z39.50? 09:24 chris ils-di 09:25 chris koha's restful api, thats how it does the authen, and gets the borrower data etc, it can also place holds, renew items etc 09:26 chris its what SOPAC uses 09:26 chris search hasn't been implemented yet, i will implement it as part of the work on the bot 09:26 chris but using that api you could build something for wave very easy 09:26 chris have you seen ils-di? 09:27 chris http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl 09:27 chris check that out 09:27 chris Kivutar did most of it i think, and its neat 09:29 chris a neat feature missing from LEK 09:30 Kivutar chris: what is LEK? 09:30 chris liblimes proprietary fork of koha 09:31 magnusenger i've heard about ils-di, but not looked into the details 09:31 magnusenger didn't know search was a part of it! 09:32 chris that page explains all the things it can do, some not implemented yet, but i plan to implement search for it 09:32 kf I think 3.2 will have many nice features not available in lek csv output, batch editing/deleting of items... :) 09:32 chris *nod* 09:33 Kivutar the new offline circulation is nice too (for 3.4 ?) 09:33 kf and there is a lot more :) 09:34 kf new acq (I think they have to pay more to use GetIt?) 09:34 Genji Will we see the end of LEK someday? 09:34 magnusenger chris: the linked bullet points are implemented, i guess? 09:34 chris yup 09:34 chris click on one, and it gives you instructions and example output 09:35 magnusenger ok 09:35 magnusenger but impleneting search through SRU shouldn't be too hard either? 09:35 magnusenger (as long as it's turned on, of course) 09:35 chris Genji: no one knows, only if liblime's clients refuse it i think 09:35 chris yep, but ils-di is a webservice and a published one 09:36 Genji there might come a time when koha has all the features of LEK, and more, eh? 09:36 chris already has way more 09:37 magnusenger chris: but SRU is just a call to a URL too, and you get MARCXML in return... 09:37 chris but enough about LEK, i shouldnt have brought it up, its pointless to talk about it, we cant do anything about it 09:37 chris magnusenger: while that might sound good to librarians 09:37 Genji so..... uhh... its just due to misinformation, that liblime is able to bring people into LEK? 09:37 chris magnusenger: 99% of the world doesnt care about SRU or MARC in any form 09:38 chris if you give them an api that doesnt force them to have to learn that 09:38 chris you make it more likely they will use it 09:38 magnusenger but it looks like at least GetRecords returns marcxml too? 09:38 chris if you want it to 09:38 magnusenger ah 09:39 magnusenger any other formats? 09:39 chris currently koha just returns marcxml, but it could do mods, or more usefully for a lot of people dublin core 09:39 chris since we have code to do that already elsewhere in the opac 09:40 magnusenger (and of course i agree wholeheartedly that we shouldn't expect people outside libraries who want to play with our data to learn marc!) 09:41 chris also, i like that its on port 80 09:41 chris which means less mucking around with firewalls ;) 09:42 magnusenger good point! 09:42 magnusenger wave bots *have* to run on Google App Engine, which can only get things from 80 and another port i forget... 09:42 chris yep 09:43 chris app engine is pretty neat 09:43 magnusenger come to think of it though: SRU can return dc, marcxml, mods, rss2, rdfdc and utils formats *today* ;-) 09:43 chris yeah but you have to understand SRU 09:44 chris which is not as arcane as z39.50 09:44 chris but its close 09:44 magnusenger which isn't all that hard, i think? (at least compared with understnding marc ;-) 09:45 chris yep, but it does mean running a separate service 09:45 magnusenger on the server? 09:45 chris and you can download dc, mods extra from the opac 09:45 chris so its probably very lttle time to do it from ilsdi 09:45 magnusenger yeah, the functionality is probably there 09:46 chris yeah you have to enable sru/sw and put it on a public port 09:46 magnusenger the more ways to get at the data the better! 09:46 chris yep 09:46 magnusenger this is one huge advantage Koha has over the proprietary systems here in norway! 09:46 chris library types can use sru, the rest of the world can have a restful api 09:46 magnusenger way to go! ;-) 09:47 chris biblibre have already done 80% of it 09:47 chris its just adding the other 20 09:47 magnusenger biblibre++ 09:49 zico chris: i tried to delete..but 09:49 zico this error came 09:49 kf koha foundation meeting today? 09:49 zico mysql + #1451 - Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails 09:49 Genji sounds like you do have some patrons using that branch, zico. 09:50 zico Genji: but, there is no patron there!!! :( the patron r empty 09:50 Genji hmm...... 09:51 chris probably an item then 09:51 * Genji nods. 09:51 chris has that branch as its home branch 09:52 Genji Interesting, this constraint concept. stops people from deleting data by mistake. 09:52 kf search groups? 09:52 chris kf: yep foundation meeting in about 9 hours 09:53 kf chris: thx :) 09:53 Genji hmm.... 7am nzd? 09:53 Genji 8am? 09:53 chris 8am 09:53 * Genji nods. 09:55 magnusenger and 8pm in my neck of the woods... ;-) 09:57 * chris goes to sleep 09:57 magnusenger sleep tight! 09:57 kf good night chris#! 12:03 kf lunch :) 12:03 Ropuch [; 12:06 Ropuch guten Hunger, kf [; 12:40 kf Ropuch: thx :) 12:52 nil hello 12:53 imp heyho 13:04 chris_n g'morning all you code mills ;-) 13:10 heupink hi. I'm trying to migrate from 2.2.5 to 3.0.4, and having trouble. My question: can I run update22to30.pl as many times as I need? 13:12 heupink I'm importing the 2.2.5 mysql database in my 3.0.4 server, and then try to update the database 'format'. 13:13 jwagner Good morning all. chris_n, what was the result of your rebase db problems yesterday? I had to leave in the middle of it. 13:16 hdl_laptop updatedatabase ? 13:17 jwagner hdl_laptop, yes -- I think it was the new head with the biblibre patches 13:17 chris_n jwagner: still awaiting hdl's thoughts 13:18 pastebot "hdl_laptop" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "updatedatabase" (53 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/75 13:18 jwagner Your dire warnings did at least save me from disaster yesterday :-) I had a site visit and I would normally have done a git pull/git rebase master as part of the trip. Good thing I knew not to try that before I went! 13:18 hdl_laptop here you are. 13:19 hdl_laptop on my todo list 13:20 heupink hdl_laptop: is that meant for me? 13:20 hdl_laptop heupink: no, meant for jwagner. 13:20 heupink hmm. :( thought so... 13:20 hdl_laptop sorry 13:20 nil hello 13:20 heupink haha, no problem. 13:21 nil hello 13:21 nil i need some help for koha 13:21 hdl_laptop heupink : MARC21 or USMARC ? 13:21 heupink would be nice if someone could also tell me if running 'update2230.pl' 3, 4 times in a row has bad sideeffects... 13:21 heupink unimarc 13:22 chris_n jwagner: glad my misery benefited someone :-) 13:22 hdl_laptop I would say you had better save your database before trying and start from that. 13:22 jwagner Believe me, I appreciate it! And sympathize!!! I gather there are some new Perl dependencies as well -- hdl_laptop or someone, is there a list of those? 13:24 heupink i have saved my database, installing on different server anyway, thats not the problem. 13:24 heupink it's jst: I'm getting errors, and am trying to solve them one by one, 13:24 heupink and wonder if after every adjustment I can simple run the script again 13:27 jwagner nil, what's your question? 13:29 hdl_laptop @later tell chris_n some more time. I will work on that tonight 13:29 munin hdl_laptop: The operation succeeded. 13:29 chris_n tnx hdl_laptop 13:36 Schuster Morning all 13:36 hdl_laptop hi Schuster 13:36 chris_n hi Schuster 13:42 jwagner morning, schuster. Sorry I had to miss the KUDOS meeting yesterday. 13:46 Schuster It was a day of meetings wow I understand. I've posted notes everywhere I can think of! If you'll be at ALA they are going to try and have a face to face. 13:49 owen-away Hi #koha, sorry I missed all the meetings yesterday 13:50 * owen was taking care of a sick baby 13:50 chris_n owen: sorry to hear that 13:51 owen Nothing serious, but it tends to put Koha out of one's mind. 13:51 * chris_n understands that 13:54 nengard anyone else having fun testing all of the new awesome biblibre additions?? 13:54 nengard I'm testing/prepping for docs/patching 13:55 * chris_n tries to shove a 283M file through gmail 13:55 * owen is excited to see what's new 13:55 gmcharlt chris_n: eek! would that be destined for me? 13:55 nengard owen - make sure you update your Perl modules - at first everything was broken for me cause I forgot that step :) hehe 13:55 gmcharlt if so, I can provide space for you to sftp it instead 13:55 chris_n gmcharlt: your intuition is startling ;-) 13:55 chris_n yes, gmail is borking 13:56 gmcharlt ok, hang on 13:56 owen nengard: What did you have to update? 13:56 nengard hiya gmcharlt - sorry for all of the patches yesterday - well not really sorry - but sorry for the extra work for you :) 13:56 nengard owen ... i forget now :) hehe - according to my About Koha page I was missing 3 modules 13:57 nengard I was in a bad mood last night and doing things way way too fast - chris might remember - since he was helping so much :) 13:57 jwagner nengard or gmcharlt or hdl_laptop, can we get a list of the new Perl modules needed? 13:57 nengard hang on - i'll tell you want I was missing 13:57 chris_n jwagner: I think its only one 13:58 hdl_laptop hi gmcharlt. 13:58 nengard I don't know if these are ones i was missing all along or cause of the update but last night I installed these: 13:58 nengard PDF::Table 13:58 nengard PDF::API2::Simple (which I'm still missing) 13:59 nengard Lingua::Stem::Snowball 13:59 nengard and Number::Format 14:00 jwagner Thanks. We have some sites that host locally so we'll warn them to go ahead & install those. 14:00 chris_n jwagner: [Bug 3828] Add dependency Authen::CAS::Client 14:00 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3828 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Missing Dependency In Makefile.PL 14:01 jwagner Thanks. I'd suggest an email to the listserv(s) warning people about all these before others start trying to update. 14:01 Schuster Thanks for that list nengard. 14:02 nengard np - hope that's all of them - guess I'll find out if I hit more errors 14:02 nengard for some reason I can't install PDF::API2::Simple 14:02 Schuster I responded to your question about fastbib - or whatever that was, but I suspect jwagner can maybe talk more about that new cataloging preference than I. 14:03 chris_n actually, most of the ones nengard lists have been in Makefile.PL for a while 14:04 nengard oops - bad me :) hehe 14:04 chris_n no, not bad 14:04 chris_n just catching up ;-) 14:05 chris_n the problem with running over git is that you don't run Makefile.PL every time and so can get behind on deps especially if you do not use certain portions of code 14:06 jwagner Schuster, our fastadd feature hasn't gotten submitted yet -- I suspect this is a BibLibre version? 14:06 chris_n it would be nice to have some other mechanism for ensuring that deps are installed as added when running over git 14:06 hdl_laptop will do 14:06 hdl_laptop jwagner: yes we did some work on that. 14:07 nengard jwagner - yes it is 14:08 hdl_laptop based on addbiblio with fastadd framework 14:08 owen chris_n: Is there a certain process one should follow to check for new dependencies? 14:09 hdl_laptop I will send a message on the lists about that. 14:09 chris_n owen: you can check the 'about' page I think 14:09 nengard hdl_laptop - i submitted a bug regarding that -- I think it's great! but you shouldn't be able to delete the FastAdd Framework because of the links to it and the permissions issues 14:09 hdl_laptop it is a food start. 14:10 hdl_laptop I saw your bug report. 14:10 nengard do you agree? or am I wrong in my assumptions of how it works? 14:10 hdl_laptop No you are right. 14:11 hdl_laptop But not that straight forward to do. 14:12 hdl_laptop should not be a blocker. 14:12 chris_n owen: the 'Perl Modules' will list the version or 'module is missing'... although I do not see the new module there, so I may be wrong 14:14 chris_n nengard: fwiw, I was missing PDF::API2::Simple too :-) 14:19 nengard chris_n can you get it to install? 14:19 nengard hdl_laptop - if i were to delete the FA framework what would happen? if we'd have broken links and things then that's why i said blocker - didn't want to delete it to test :) hehe 14:20 chris_n nengard: using cpan it seems to install fine... not sure about the package version 14:21 nengard yeah - tried cpan ... need to go back and read what it's telling me 14:24 hdl_laptop nengard: mmm... I think links are shown only whether framework is there. 14:24 nengard okey dokey 14:55 owen Okay folks, here's what I'm getting after fetching the newly approved stuff and rebasing: "Can't locate YAML.pm in @INC" 14:57 |Lupin| hello, everybody 15:04 hilongo hello there ... 15:05 |Lupin| hi hilongo 15:08 hdl_laptop1 owen : cpanp install YAML 15:10 owen "Transfer truncated: only out of 162997 bytes received" 15:12 * owen tries sudo apt-get install libyaml-perl and it seems to work 15:12 owen If it works it works? Or not? 15:13 hdl_laptop1 yes 15:14 owen The confusing thing for me is guessing the name of what I should install based on the name of what's missing :| 15:15 * owen is learning 15:15 hdl_laptop1 yes debian and perl are quite funny 15:18 nengard owen chris told me about packages.debian.org -- searching there sometimes helps you find the name you want to install 15:21 owen Thanks nengard that helps a lot 15:21 nengard :) 15:22 nengard just don't make the mistake i did - which is searching with the colons you see on the about page - search with hyphens instead 15:22 owen nengard: No luck for you on getting PDF::API2::Simple installed? 15:23 nengard nope 15:23 owen The about page says I'm missing it too 15:23 nengard not yet 15:23 owen packages.debian.org lists libpdf-api2-perl 15:24 nengard yeah - but my system says i already have the newest version -- and koha says i'm missing it 15:25 |Lupin| till soon folks ! 15:26 owen I don't see a message on the about page about Lingua::Stem::Snowball, but I couldn't search without it 15:26 nengard yeah owen - i had the same issue 15:27 nengard but i don't know how to add things to that about page - or do we just report it as ab ug 15:27 nengard ? 15:27 hdl_laptop1 owen nengard it is in order to use stemming 15:27 owen hdl_laptop1: Do you know why it wasn't reported missing on the about page? 15:27 hdl_laptop1 I think it is not in Makefile.PL 15:27 nengard should it be? should we report a but that it shoudl be in there? 15:28 hdl_laptop1 file a bug. assign to me. 15:38 owen Hi wizzyrea 15:41 wizzyrea mornin owen 15:44 nengard hdl_laptop1 -- done - bug 3842 reported and assigned to you 15:44 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3842 major, P5, ---, henridamien@koha-fr.org, NEW, Lingua::Stem::Snowball Missing from Makefile.PL 15:44 * owen is thinking about whether the staff client cart link should be somewhere else in the toolbar 15:47 wizzyrea the cart... on the staff client... 15:48 wizzyrea i might be missing it... what screen is it on? 15:51 owen It's in the latest round of updates to HEAD from BibLibre 15:52 jwagner chris_n, still online? 15:58 wizzyrea ohhhh yea that explains it 16:00 chris_n jwagner: here now 16:00 reiko hi 16:00 jwagner chris_n, one of our users was trying to scan a barcode into the new label creator, & got an error like Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at kohaclone/labels/label-item-search.pl line 129 16:01 jwagner I know you had some fixes to that, but the version of head they're at should have them all, I thought. Do you recognize that one? 16:01 chris_n I've not encountered that one that I can recall 16:02 chris_n label-item-search.pl... scanning a barcode to search for an item? 16:02 jwagner Yes. I can send you the screenshot if you want. We've done a lot of development on this system. Haven't touched the label scripts, but we may be butting heads elsewhere in one of the .pm files? 16:03 chris_n jwagner: maybe a description of the steps to reproduce the error 16:04 chris_n I can look at it later today as we use that code here in production 16:05 jwagner What's your email address? 16:05 chris_n I think all of the bugfixes I've submitted have made it into the HEAD 16:05 chris_n cnighswonger@foundations.edu 16:05 jwagner Thanks, will send. 16:06 chris_n bbiab 16:09 reiko hi, i'm having troubles with authority searching, do i need to configure authority-zebra-indexdefs.xsl in order to search? i have some custom auth types. 16:11 reiko http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/628/capturezw.png <- heres a screen of how some authorities show up when i search for them 16:21 nengard wizzyea and own i thought it was for new acq - but it's not - it's just a cart for staff to make it easier to perform bulk actions - kind of cool :) 16:22 hdl_laptop1 nengard: thanks 16:23 nengard hdl_laptop1 it's like christmas morning with this new update to koha - all kinds of presents under the hood :) hehe 16:23 hdl_laptop1 yes... Some gifts are fine, others less fine ;) 16:24 nengard hdl_laptop1 I have not found many major issues - mostly tiny things that I have been able to fix on my own 16:24 nengard :) 16:24 hdl_laptop1 nengard+++ 16:25 jwagner So long as there are no lumps of coal :-) I can't wait to take a look myself, but I have too much else going on right now. 16:25 nengard I do have one complaint - and that is that the commit messages were too brief - meaning I can't always figure out what a new section is for 16:26 wizzyrea nengard that sounds sweet 16:26 hdl_laptop1 Yes. too brief commit message--.... But We shall try and improve that. 16:27 hdl_laptop1 we are already asking for commits to be more verbose. 16:27 hdl_laptop1 (internally) 16:28 hdl_laptop1 But we had no guidelines for that... And time to develop is somtimes way too short. 16:29 hdl_laptop1 and sometimes, it is quite difficult to know WHAT to tell to be thorough and fully understood. 16:32 kf I also had a problem to understand some things 16:33 kf in the new acq module 16:34 kf but I think nicole's documentation will fix that :) 16:35 imp hdl_laptop1: with subversion, you can setup procommit hooks, they can do stuff like enforcing longer commitmessages (just exploring the stuff myself right now because 3/5 from my team tend to write _nothing_ in there...) 16:51 wizzyrea brendan: have you ever set up the SIP server for Koha? 16:53 brendan I've messed with it before 16:53 brendan what's up 16:53 brendan heya pianohacker 16:53 pianohacker hi brendan 16:53 brendan errrr... Dr. pianohacker 16:54 jwagner hey, pianohacker, how are the fingers? Haven't heard recently. 16:54 pianohacker If I'm going to be a doctor, I probably need something better than a sweatshirt and old corduroys 16:55 pianohacker the fingers are doing excellent. I have my thumb taped up after finding out the joint bends back a bit too far now, but other than that they're great 16:55 pianohacker How are you guys? 16:55 brendan I'd say that's a sure thing pianohacker 16:58 jwagner But surely the thumb would give you better reach on the keyboard that way :-) 16:59 pianohacker hehe. right now, unless it's taped it can bend rather sickeningly far back 16:59 pianohacker my mom, as a pt, is morally opposed to this 17:01 jwagner Details, details.... 17:01 wizzyrea brendan: i was going to ask you if there was server user configuration, but I found what i needed in the manual 17:01 wizzyrea lol 17:02 brendan good deal wizzyrea 17:03 owen Anyone here ever configured VirtualBox so that they can access their guest OS from the host? 17:05 wizzyrea I did, there's some trick to it 17:05 pianohacker owen: http://markmail.org/thread/6xwumgcczgpl3q5z might help 17:05 pianohacker I'm interested, as I'm setting up a virtualbox koha install at the moment myself 17:06 wizzyrea sec, lemme look for the voodoo required 17:06 kf bye #koha - bbl for the meeting 17:07 wizzyrea this was the post I followed 17:07 wizzyrea http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148 17:07 owen Okay, that's what I was just looking at 17:07 owen The VBoxManage commands...those are meant to be run on the guest system? 17:08 wizzyrea on the host 17:09 wizzyrea you have to do similar forwarding rules for 80 and 8080 17:09 wizzyrea if you are using those 17:09 wizzyrea so I did 88 and 8888 17:09 wizzyrea for example 17:09 owen Okay, I guess I just was guessing incorrectly what was meant by "Guest machine name." 17:09 wizzyrea so from my host machine I would do localhost:8888 for the staff interface 17:10 owen wizzyrea: Just replacing 2222 with 88 and 8888? 17:10 wizzyrea right, i'll example, sec 17:11 wizzyrea VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http80/HostPort" 8888 17:11 nengard owen - someone said you can use FTP - install filezilla server on one and filezilla on the other 17:11 nengard but i have never gotten it to work 17:11 wizzyrea VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http80/GuestPort" 80 17:12 wizzyrea er, that first should be 88, so localhost:88 forwards to 80 on the guest 17:12 wizzyrea then you would change the http80 to http8080 and do the same 17:13 wizzyrea and a protocol for each of those, so: 17:13 wizzyrea VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http80/Protocol" TCP 17:16 pastebot "wizzyrea" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "virtualbox extradata settings, from my vbox config at /Users/liz/Library/VirtualBox/Machines/Debian-Koha" (15 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/76 17:16 wizzyrea this may help :P 17:16 wizzyrea i spent several hours trying to figure it out 17:22 wizzyrea i'm guessing atz wrote the bit in the manual on SIP? 17:22 wizzyrea (sounds like him) 17:23 pianohacker Probably 17:25 wizzyrea man, is that guy ever going to stop saving my sorry butt. I doubt it. 17:26 pianohacker hehe 17:29 owen wizzyrea: the example you gave above uses "http80" and the example in your pasted sample uses "guestapache" Is that significant? 17:30 wizzyrea yea, actually, each port has a distinctive name 17:30 wizzyrea it's arbitrary, but must be unique for each set 17:30 wizzyrea mine has a bunch of extra ports configured 17:30 wizzyrea for some testing I was doing 17:31 chris_n jwagner: I sent a reply 17:32 chris_n not sure if it helps or not, however 17:32 jwagner Muchas gracias in advance! 17:33 hdl_laptop1 imp could be done also on git 17:38 brendan @wunder 93117 17:38 munin brendan: The current temperature in Northwest Goleta, Goleta, California is 11.5�C (9:34 AM PST on December 03, 2009).

Why would I be getting the error "apachectl: command not found" ? 18:04 wizzyrea /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and you get that? 18:06 imp owen: do you have a apache2ctl? (maybe it's just an old initscript) 18:08 Joann so is the meeting in an hour? 18:09 Genji ~50 mins 18:09 Joann thanks 18:10 Joann George - sorry I got the time conversion wrong .... you can make Shirley breakfast now :) 18:11 Joann its 8am NZ time 18:11 GeorgeSue Thanks Jo:) 18:11 pianohacker Wait a minute, I thought it was us US peoples' job to get time conversions wrong 18:14 sekjal When we regain koha.org, perhaps we should consider some kind of time localizer tool for displaying meeting times. 18:14 brendan no matter what - someone will still get it wrong 18:14 * brendan has been wrong more than once 18:15 sekjal true enough; the conversion isn't the only factor 18:15 brendan :) 18:15 brendan hey sekjal 18:15 sekjal hey brendan 18:15 brendan I was wondering how your planning for course reserves was going 18:16 sekjal we're going to be forming a task force to evaluate what we need out of a course reserves tool. 18:16 sekjal interestingly enough, I was just talking with our head of Circ, and had some ideas 18:17 sekjal like allowing professors to request items be moved to course reserves directly through the OPAC 18:17 sekjal and allowing course reserves, and other items, to be "bookable" 18:17 brendan sounds very useful 18:18 brendan will be excited to see some of it 18:18 sekjal this would really help with our equipment and room reservations, which are a larger and larger percentage of the circ desk's business each day 18:18 pianohacker sekjal: Would PC reservations be useful to integrate into all this? Just curious, as I have a system that's been languishing for a while 18:19 sekjal pianohacker: I think the development could be generalized enough to do that, yes 18:19 sekjal we have a graphics area we want to be able to book, and also gather usage stats on 18:20 wizzyrea i love this line of discussion 18:20 sekjal I think just adding a field to Item Types to allow for it to be bookable, then add the necessary tables and logic to keep the reservations organized 18:20 sekjal have built in iCal standard export, so people can subscribe to an item's "calendar" 18:21 wizzyrea hot! 18:21 jwagner Speaking of 'bookable' -- Unicorn has a bookings module for things like laptops, projectors, whatever that people want to reserve for a particular time. Might that be useful to integrate? 18:21 sekjal gtg. phone call with prospective Koha library 18:21 jwagner Or did I miss that you were already including that :-) 18:22 cait hi #koha 18:22 imp heyho cait :) 18:25 cait bist du eigentlich mal nicht hier? ;) 18:51 jransom can anyone suggest a good alternative to Deep Freeze for locking down public internet PCs? 18:52 wizzyrea deepfreeze is the perennial favorite here 18:52 jransom We've used it for years and its rock solid - but I cannot get the new version to work with our new PCs. 18:52 Genji I'd suggest linux springing from VM's. 18:52 wizzyrea well I don't know what microsoft is doing with the shared computer toolkit 18:52 jransom causes them to lockup - so we take it off and they are fine 18:52 wizzyrea if you are forced in the MS direction 18:53 jransom oh yeah - we are looking today in desperation :( 18:53 Genji or a linux thinnet server. 18:53 wizzyrea curious what kind of computers are they? 18:54 hdl_laptop hi 18:54 hdl_laptop jransom: kyle hall developped libki 18:54 jransom will have to find the specs - brb 18:55 wizzyrea there's also groovix, if you're going the linux route 18:55 wizzyrea or userful 18:55 jransom they are windows running xp 18:55 wizzyrea curious if you've contacted faronics with your issues 18:55 jransom (public got grumpy when we had linux ones) 18:56 jransom will do that today as well 18:56 wizzyrea the last time we had trouble with deepfreeze they had a patch for us in a couple of days 18:56 wizzyrea and a new version like a week later 18:56 wizzyrea our results may not be typical 18:57 chris back 18:57 jransom oh that is good news - we just dicovered what we think may be the source of the problem last night 18:57 Genji Welcome back, did you trigger any alarms? 19:00 chris nope 19:00 chris all good 19:00 pianohacker jransom: We use SteadyState; its mildly fussy but does its main job of resetting the hard drive quite well 19:00 thd jransom: Why do you want to lock down the PCs? 19:00 jransom thanks 19:00 wizzyrea yea that's part of the shared computer toolkit right? 19:01 Genji jransom: you definately have to use Windows? 19:01 pianohacker wizzyrea: SteadyState's the new name for it 19:01 wizzyrea right 19:01 jransom restores the harddrive to a pristine state after each reboot 19:01 wizzyrea it's free, right? 19:01 pianohacker yup 19:01 jransom these are public pcs 19:01 wizzyrea we tried it, but we didn't like it :( 19:02 pianohacker wizzyrea: what dealbreaker problems did you have? 19:02 wizzyrea rather our librarians didn't like it 19:02 wizzyrea something about too hard to use 19:02 Genji Yet, I rememmber Foxton libary using linux on their public pcs. 19:02 IrmaCalyx g'day everyone 19:02 imp 20:00 19:02 brendan goodday Irma 19:02 chris_n hi IrmaCalyx 19:02 kyle hello all 19:03 pianohacker Definitely easier to admin.

I have asked Bob Birchall to start working on a paper to get us started - but we are winging it at the moment :) 19:18 owen jransom: Do you see it as being composed of HLT people + Koha community people? 19:19 jransom absolutely. 19:19 jransom dominated by community people 19:19 chris_n how many seats should be on it? 19:19 slef3g MJRay, software.coop member 19:19 slef3g MJRay, software.coop member 19:19 chris i think this is what we are still in the process of deciding chris_n 19:20 owen I'm still not sure I understand what the function of the committee is 19:20 jransom to be decided with the community, 19:20 chris so far to date, HLT have appointed george to work from their end 19:20 jransom we are not interested in throwing our weight around. 19:20 jransom the koha community will continue to be driven by the koha community 19:21 chris as far as i see it, they will just be looking into making sure the community property is being looked after 19:21 jransom and the community should help decide how the subcommittee should function 19:21 owen So chris you see it as a group of folks who will keep an eye on what's going on in the Koha world and bring attention to potential problems? 19:22 chris yup 19:22 chris oversight 19:22 chris big picture stuff 19:22 chris not day to day running of the project 19:22 chris_n so what things does oversight involve? 19:22 wizzyrea and potentially overseeing the formation of an independent foundation, right? 19:22 jransom I suggest we take Bob's first thoughts thinking paper and put it up somewhere and we play around with it until we get something to take back to the Trust. They may wish to tweak it - or not. 19:22 chris id see them as doing things like finding a good place to host www.koha.org etc 19:23 chris wizzyrea: yep helping to facillitate discussion aroudn that 19:23 chris jransom: that sounds like a good idea, lets do it nice and publicly too 19:23 jransom I see us as being an umbrella organisation. the real work will continue to be done by the community 19:23 jransom as it always has done. 19:23 jransom really - its business as usual. 19:23 ftherese I was in here yesterday asking a question, but no one was able to answer before I had to leave 19:23 ftherese so let me try again 19:24 pianohacker ftherese: currently in middle of meeting 19:24 chris ftherese: we are in a meeting 19:24 owen ftherese: You've caught us in the middle of a meeting 19:24 ftherese sorry 19:24 ftherese later 19:24 pianohacker barbershop trio, even 19:24 chris hang around, and ask later ;) 19:24 ftherese how long? 19:24 chris at least an hour i imagine 19:24 ftherese ok 19:25 jransom George: please feel free to step in if I am misrepresenting the Trusts perceived role in this ok 19:25 chris_n jransom: is Bob's paper available or can it be made available? 19:25 chris it doesnt exist yet chris_n 19:25 chris but im sure ti will be available for all when it does 19:25 chris_n so do we table this item until it is? 19:25 chris yep i think we can report it as 19:26 owen It does sound like we need to get a framework together for the discussion 19:26 chris George has been appointed to work from HLT end, Bob is doing a draft framework 19:26 jransom Would that be ok? It will be up maybe today but probably next week. I'll get Chris to put it somewhere in the koha public space 19:26 chris_n it seems that the paper will provide that framework 19:26 chris and we will revisit when that is done 19:26 owen Would a wiki page be suitable? 19:26 hdl_laptop IrmaCalyx: any hint on when it should be out ? 19:27 chris_n should we put is other than the wiki... somewhere were the community has control? 19:27 IrmaCalyx I am looking for it now... 19:27 jransom i have it my inbox as a first draft but have not given it serious thought yet - happy to post it now if Bob is 19:27 GeorgeSue I would just like to reassure everyone that I am here to help you guys carry on the excelent work you are doing for us and the world, 19:27 chris chris_n: lets put it a few places 19:27 chris_n +1 19:28 owen chris: should we wait for an announcement from you on that? 19:28 slef3g wiki.software.coop exists but is login required atm. can prob make a public subsite easy 19:29 chris owen: yep that works 19:29 slef3g sorry slow. stood in train station 19:29 chris so bob to write a paper, chris to put it somewhere, then we revisit this item 19:29 chris sound ok? 19:29 * chris_n seconds the motion 19:30 owen And part of everyone's homework is to consider what role this committee should play and how it should be composed. 19:30 brendan +1 19:30 thd +1 19:30 wizzyrea +1 19:30 nicomo +1 19:30 chris yes, all ideas gratefully received and considered 19:30 hdl_laptop +1 19:30 sekjal +1 19:30 chris id also like to put a motion of thanks to Jo, Bob and George for getting us to this point 19:30 jransom and please don't be expecting the Trust to dictate how this will work and lead here: Koha is still as much a community led project as it ever was. 19:31 chris_n +1 19:31 Mickey +1 19:31 owen +1 19:31 slef3g +1 19:31 cait +1 19:31 wizzyrea +1 19:31 imp +1 19:31 Nate +1 19:31 IrmaCalyx +1 19:31 owen Okay, are we ready for item 2?

OK :-) 19:43 chris ill still talk about koha as being free software, not opensource .. since the actions of companies like Liblime have soured the term open source 19:43 gmcharlt LibreKoha? # just muddying the waters ;) 19:43 chris_n we should have lots of PR when we do this 19:43 Mickey whatever let's not get bogged down right now over nomenclature 19:43 pianohacker right 19:43 nicomo gmcharlt: too Galic 19:43 jransom yep - need maximum promo 19:43 pianohacker could very easily be resolved by a poll, imho 19:43 jransom press release. blog posts everywhere 19:43 chris yep, the point is, that we think it might be time to call it a day and move on 19:43 slef3g ok mickey 19:43 thd imp: you can have open source without freedom to use, modify, redistribute your modified version 19:43 Genji Koha = free in maori right? 19:43 imp thd: don't get me wrong, but it's very hard to explain somebody that something is opensource and really open, freeware is something ugly, but those people tend to get the things wrong 19:43 jransom library journal story 19:44 * chris_n agrees with chris 19:44 gmcharlt Genji: more like 'gift', though chris can explain the nuances better 19:44 jransom (carrys on ignring everybody.. :) 19:44 Mickey decision to move ahead with a rebranding is the q? 19:44 kyle I believe Koha means 'A Gift' 19:44 jransom and we rebrand it 19:44 chris its a special type of gift 19:44 jransom chris resurrects the previous website 19:44 thd imp: people will get it wrong and I mean most people no matter what it is called 19:44 jransom we update it 19:44 jransom get the wiki and everything elase we can together 19:44 chris a gift with some strings ... just like free software 19:45 * Genji loves the original website. "Especially Rachel's origin of koha story." 19:45 chris ok 19:45 sekjal its going to be hard to get the community to agree on a new name, but its probably for the best 19:45 chris this is probably paranoia 19:45 chris but now this is public 19:45 jransom Chris: is your emplyer willing to commit resources to get a new site up? 19:45 jransom question is, is it faesible to do this in time? 19:45 chris can someone please get a copy of the wiki and bugzilla right now 19:45 thd Genji++ 19:46 owen This is big decision folks, are we prepared to move forward on this plan just with the consensus of those present today? 19:46 pianohacker Do we have an official date for 3.2 set? Didn't see it in the dev meeting notes, but I could have missed it 19:46 chris owen; hell no 19:46 chris this is just the opinion of 3 people 19:46 chris myself included 19:46 Genji chris: liblime could be scanning the realtime log, and may pull those two at any moment? 19:46 jransom 3.2 is the perfect perfect opportunity to launch the new Koha 19:46 owen Okay, then what's the next step? 19:46 chris Genji: like i say paranoia 19:47 * owen is feeling the same paranoia lately 19:47 jransom is someone grabbing those 2 things? 19:47 imp maybe the disscusion about a new name should be moved to the mailinglist? don't think it's critical right now (and doodle it later or something like that) 19:47 chris the important point to decide is 19:47 pianohacker Set up a poll with 2 questions: Whether to change name, and if so, ranking of choices? 19:47 Genji How do I get an export of those two things? 19:47 nicomo pianohacker: ++ 19:47 chris do we want to persist trying to get koha.org back from liblime 19:47 chris or do we call it a day, and work on a plan to move on 19:48 chris a possible plan being rebrand and launch in time for 3.2 19:48 chris_n I'd say we leave the name with them and go our own way 19:48 hdl_laptop i think we have to call it a day. 19:48 owen At this point I think we have to rely on the advice of those who have been involved with the negotiations 19:48 wizzyrea question: what would prevent a non open koha vendor from using openkoha code? 19:48 pianohacker (above is just to continue precedent of using polls for decision making) 19:48 magnusenger call it a day, move on, use energy on something constructive 19:48 Mickey cost-benefit. is it worth a protracted fight? or not? 19:48 chris wizzyrea: nothing and we dont want to 19:48 hdl_laptop It's been some time now we are stuck. 19:48 Genji Anyone grabbing the wiki and bugzilla? How is a full grab done? 19:48 owen We don't even have any framework established for carrying out a court fight 19:48 gmcharlt wizzyrea: chris has it 19:49 sekjal I just tried wget -r on both; no dice 19:49 SelfishMan I'm coming in late but it seems to me that changing the name will kill the reputation of koha 19:49 slef3g doodle ok for majorities but bad at consensus building 19:49 chris SelfishMan: the reputation of koha is currently being killed 19:49 imp wizzyrea: you can choose a licence, which will (theoreticaly) force them to send their patches upstream 19:49 jransom yep. 19:49 kyle SelfishMan: I think the reputation of Koha will follow the community if it is said loud and clear. OpenKoha isn't much of a leap. 19:49 wizzyrea imp: that's more of what I was getting at 19:50 pianohacker imp: AGPL is a possibility, but I think it was regarded as a step too far in the other direction 19:50 Mickey koha is stronger than its specific brand at this point; it has surpassed critical mass 19:50 Genji sekjal: no dice? 19:50 hdl_laptop slef3g: I don't think we have to make concensus on the name. majority is ok. 19:50 sekjal I'm getting blocked by robots.txt, I think 19:50 jransom and i think we have to be strong and assertive now and send a clear message that Koha Community is strong and determined to control our own destiny. 19:50 owen If we start fresh with an identity that is owned by a foundation then it doesn't matter if a company doesn't want to share 19:50 Nate Can we make the change in the name to come after the word "Koha" 19:50 owen At least they can hijack the identity 19:50 imp if somebody tells me what to mirror, i can try to get it 19:51 magnusenger jransom++ 19:51 vickiteal May I make a suggestion? 19:51 Nate like KohaCommunity 19:51 chris vickiteal: go right ahead 19:51 kyle I doubt anyone cares about the name as much as they care about the software functioning. 19:51 Nate Never underestimate the power of branding 19:51 vickiteal I'm wondering if we could give the LibLime customers some time to see if they could sway LibLime from relinquishing koha.org? 19:51 jransom this willsend shockwaves through libraryland - people will hear about the new name :) 19:52 Genji Can the wiki and bugzilla be exported in their native formats? or will we just have to do html dumps? 19:52 vickiteal Is there are rush to make such a huge change? 19:52 chris vickiteal: id love to believe they could, but so far they seem unable to shift them to even releasing the code :( 19:52 wizzyrea vickiteal I was thinking the same thing 19:52 owen Genji: Let's save that discussion for later 19:52 Genji owen: hopefully there is a later. 19:52 pianohacker vickiteal: that _might_ have possibilities; my impression was that customer pressure was a part of the recent shift to lek, no? 19:52 chris vickiteal: we ahve been locked out of www.koha.org for a year now 19:52 sekjal Genji: changed my browser in wget, got better results 19:52 jransom we have this huge promo - launch opportunity in 1 month to relaunch Koha. 19:52 chris this isnt rushed, its positively glacial 19:52 vickiteal I don't know that the customers have tried that hard yet. 19:52 wizzyrea yea, except a lot of ... what she said 19:53 kyle Nate: true, that is why I'm for OpenKoha. I suppose I was speaking as an existing Koha user :) 19:53 wizzyrea we were waiting to see what the official outcome was 19:53 chris liblime didnt just wake up 2 months ago and decide to stop playing nice, its been happening for over a year 19:53 chris i personally feel they have had more than enough time 19:53 owen vickiteal: I don't have a good sense of what LibLime customers even think of all this, only a few data points 19:53 chris but if others feel like we should wait longer 19:53 chris im happy to do so 19:53 jransom the email I had from a LL university client was very sad 19:53 owen Could they be persuaded to talk to LibLime, or do they not want to make waves? 19:54 SelfishMan btw, I'm ripping wiki.koha.org now 19:54 owen ("they" in general) 19:54 nengard i'm back 19:54 slef3g hdl: disagree. consensus better 19:54 nengard thought that would be quicker 19:54 jransom If the community wishes to play the LL game for longer then so be it. 19:54 vickiteal Owen: good question. I'm not even making a commitment, but I think we would like the opportunity to discuss with other customers. 19:54 sekjal with any luck, the newly forming KUDOS can serve to promote the community in contrast to LL 19:54 chris_n I think the only thing that will persuade LL at this point would be a mass exodus of customers 19:54 thd If there is a serious concern about the US trademark. prepending a word will not change the issue. 19:55 owen thd: What do you mean? 19:55 vickiteal I undertand problem has been around for a while, but to me it still feels new. 19:55 jransom But if we want to move forward we have a perfect opportunity to make a big splash. 19:55 Mickey yes. what exactly does waiting gain us? 19:56 chris my fear is, and after reading someones thesis last night, its even more real that liblime are trashing the reputation of koha 19:56 SelfishMan kyle, chris: I don't doubt the reputation is being killed. I guess I should have said "brand recognition" instead of reputation. It has taken a long time to get local libraries to consider koha and changing the name will scare them away again. 19:56 owen Alright everyone, let's focus on the next step 19:56 chris i think the longer we stay, the more trashed it is getting 19:56 thd own: Open Koha would also use the US trademark just as much as Koha alone in the context of library software for which Koha is trademarked in the US. 19:56 kyle chris++ 19:56 jransom Chris ++ 19:57 owen How do we arrive at a communal decision on the identity-change issue? 19:57 slef3g battery low. no recharge chance. sorry all 19:57 pianohacker slef3g: Thanks for coming regardless 19:57 jransom I would like to move that we do. 19:57 * chris_n motions we move forward on identity change 19:57 vickiteal I think rushing without exhausting all possibilities may do more harm to Koha, than to take another month or so to see if LL customers can do something. 19:57 kyle If OpenKoha is too big of a gray area, I think another Maori would would suffice. 19:57 jransom we have had a year of mucking around Vivky. 19:57 chris i dont think we are rushing 19:57 vickiteal If they decide not to, or there is no positivie outcome then at least you know that everything was tried. 19:57 jransom how much longer do you think is reasonable? 19:57 nicomo thd: a change of domain name doesn't resolve all the issues (like TM) but it solves pratical issues (the web site) 19:57 SelfishMan I hate to say it, but I think we are screwed. You guys are right, a name change is required. Doing it with the next release would be the way to go 19:57 nengard i'm with chris and jransom - we're not rushing 19:58 slef3g kyle++ 19:58 vickiteal One month. 19:58 SelfishMan maybe instead of the next 3.x go 4.0? 19:58 nicomo vickiteal: dec. 25th? 19:58 owen SelfishMan: LibLime has already done that :| 19:58 chris naw its not a big feature release 19:58 chris its a performance clean up one, 3.4 is a perfect number ;) 19:58 kyle SelfishMan, Chris: Then we go to 11! 19:58 chris_n hehe 19:59 jransom 3.2 is a big release. 19:59 thd nicomo: yes certainly the domain has to be solved and multiple domains can point to the same place even without a name distincion for the software 19:59 SelfishMan I'm just thinking that incrementing the major version with a new name would "sell" better 19:59 jransom and doing nothing means we continue with the website access problems, 19:59 owen We need to have an up-or-down vote on whether to proceed with the identity change. Should that happen here, now, or under a more formal framework? 19:59 thd I do fear changing the Koha part of the name on a practical basis for recognition. 20:00 kyle If we ever get koha.org back, we could always redirect to the new 'home base' url 20:00 thd Preending is fine 20:00 jransom and with potential koha libraries landing on liblime when they are looking for koha community 20:00 chris if vicki is confident liblime customers can sway joshua's mind 20:00 SelfishMan owen: I could be wrong but it seems to me that the majority of the people that are heavily attached to the project are in this channel. I say do it hear when the time comes 20:00 chris i think we should give them time 20:00 jransom kyle: my thoughts excatly 20:00 nicomo jransom: yep, SEO for the new web site will have to be reaaally good 20:00 chris but i fear that they have little chance in doing so :( 20:01 chris_n vikiteal: how do you propose to go about changing Josh's mind? 20:01 vickiteal I am not confident. But, I think that we should be given the opportunity to discuss it and try. We had to wait to see what the Trust could do first. 20:01 SelfishMan I know of a few local liblime customers that are terminating their contracts over this 20:01 chris would 2 weeks be enough time vickiteal ? 20:01 pianohacker vickiteal: Also, how much would you be pushing for? 20:01 vickiteal Ask him. 20:01 pianohacker (possibly) 20:01 owen I think vickiteal should try. 20:01 jransom Timely to announce now that Biblibre and HLT have started the process of transferring the EU Koha trademark over to HLT. At no cost to HLT. 20:01 chris_n I think LL's customers have the teeth to do it, but I wonder about the practicality of showing them 20:02 vickiteal Josh is going to be on vacation and will not be back until December 17th. 20:02 jransom We have asked Josh for the community assets, and asked he needs to have in order to give back the domain name. 20:02 vickiteal I guess we could commit to December 24th. 20:02 slef3g last I saw that was only a tm attempt 20:03 chris slef3g: ? 20:03 nicomo eh eh slef3g I would have been disappointed not hearing from you on this 20:03 vickiteal f someone could send me an email with what to ask for, I can discuss it with other customers and we can do our best. 20:03 chris slef3g: whatever it is, its being transferred to HLT 20:03 pianohacker vickiteal: if that works, would be an excellent noche buena gift :) 20:03 nicomo I just filed the paperwork to transfer the TM process to HLT 20:03 wizzyrea nicomo++ 20:03 owen nicomo++ 20:03 nicomo slef3g: want a copy? 20:03 nicomo :-) 20:03 slef3g our coop is first vendor in uk and some other eu states 20:03 chris_n nicomo++ 20:03 slef3g our coop is first vendor in uk and some other eu states 20:03 vickiteal As I said, I'm not making promisies.

Koha 9.12? 20:06 nengard +1 20:06 owen nengard: This is our last-ditch effort to avoid the identity change 20:06 * SelfishMan votes yes 20:06 jransom +1 20:06 * pianohacker seconds the motion, with note that we might want to start discussions on naming and identity change regardless of outcome 20:06 SelfishMan (if my vote even counts) 20:06 pianohacker So we're ready 20:06 Genji vickiteal++ 20:06 chris good idea pianohacker 20:06 wizzyrea i vote yes 20:06 hdl_laptop pianohacker++ 20:06 owen SelfishMan: Why wouldn't it? 20:07 jransom pianohacker++ 20:07 nengard yeah - i get that - owen - I just don't get why LL is being so stubborn - if we change the name there is no value left in koha.org - so it's pointless to hold on to it so tightly 20:07 nicomo by the way, vickiteal's effort is not incompatible with our moving forward 20:07 pianohacker s/start discussions/start discussions now/ 20:07 thd nengard:everything now points to koha .org all over the internet and those links are not going to change in any hury 20:07 owen nengard: From their point of view theirs is the only one worth having 20:07 chris and please if people could do nightly backups for the wiki and bugzilla that would stop me fearing so much 20:07 Mickey sorry must leave best to all 20:08 nengard thd - we're a pretty noisy bunch we can get it to change pretty damn fast :) 20:08 chris ok, next agenda item? 20:08 nengard and owen - theirs is LEK - not koha ... but whatever - semanics 20:08 wizzyrea nengard: it's equivalent in their minds 20:08 pianohacker nengard: still good to have, if as nothing other than a redirector service, but we're getting ahead of ourselves 20:08 wizzyrea and winning a branding battle is establishing those equivalents 20:08 sekjal I think LL still really thinks they and their customers are definitive Koha community; hence the challenge to HLT 20:08 chris wizzyrea: and in others .. thats the problem 20:08 owen I think we're on to Item 5 on the Agenda (3 and 4 being moot apparently) 20:08 SelfishMan So, is there an offical statement/description of what is happening to be passed on to those that aren't well versed in this whole issue? 20:09 IrmaCalyx I vote yes 20:09 owen Report on legal status of Ohio based Koha Foundation 20:09 nengard pianohacker - oh i agree it's good for us to have - just don't see how it helps them - but you're right - ahead of ourselves 20:09 chris thd: can you speak to this? 20:09 owen Or is the Ohio based Koha Foundation moot as well? 20:09 chris SelfishMan: i will endavour to get that in the minutes 20:09 brendan this is what we found : 20:09 nengard sekjal - their customers are aksing us for help cause they can't get answers from support 20:10 brendan owen it does seem moot at this point 20:10 brendan Ok here is the info we have discovered about the existing Koha Foundation and how we (the community) can gain control of it. 20:10 brendan 20:10 brendan 1. Research the bylaws; there should be some rules about membership and voting. We could get everyone to join the existing foundation, 20:10 brendan then vote the agent who is on the foundations filed documents off and replace them with someone else. 20:10 brendan 20:10 brendan 2. File a separate foundation under a similar but different name. 20:10 brendan As long as they have a tax ID# associated with the existing foundation we cannot create a foundation with the same name in a different state. 20:10 brendan However we are free to create a foundation supporting the same software under a different name, for example Koha Open Source Foundation etc... 20:10 thd chris: brendan did the research 20:10 brendan 20:10 brendan 3. Have the present agent on the filed foundation sign over their status to another agent (Horowhenua Library Trust). 20:10 brendan This would require Liblime to agree to the hand off. 20:10 brendan sorry if that doesn't come through clearly -- I could use paste - if need be 20:10 SelfishMan I have to run, best of luck everyone. I'll be reading the scrollback later tonight 20:10 sledei slef again 20:11 owen brendan: Does LL's Koha foundation even have bylaws? 20:11 brendan not that we have found or seen 20:11 sekjal nengard: I've noticed. there is clearly some cognitive dissonence going on 20:11 pianohacker brendan: do they have to be public to be valid? 20:11 owen So the name registration is pretty much just a blocker 20:11 thd Does it have a federal tax ID? 20:11 imp hm, just start another foundation under the law of another land? 20:12 brendan we could not find a federal tax ID 20:12 brendan with the searches we did 20:12 pianohacker imp: us based nonprofit is useful for fundraising here in the states 20:12 brendan with some money - a more advanced search would be possible 20:12 chris owen: yes it appears it was only registered to stop anyone else registering it 20:13 nengard brendan - money - or a librarian in a business library - is there anyone here like that? 20:13 nengard with access to the necessary databases? 20:13 brendan business librarian would work -- I believe 20:13 sekjal I think my wife has some business resources at her library 20:13 sekjal I could ask her to perform a search... not sure if she has time, though 20:13 chris nengard: could you ask your friends in SLA 20:13 chris ? 20:13 sledei wonder if a law lib would help? 20:13 wizzyrea which databases are you thinking of 20:14 nengard chris, I could do just that - I just need to know what we're looking or specifically 20:14 thd I think that SIBL in New York would have appropriate databases 20:14 nengard and as for law library - I have connections at jenkins law library - but they do charge for business searhces 20:14 nengard searches 20:14 chris putting my paranoia hat on again 20:14 Genji So, Liblime is actively blocking us from taking Koha back? 20:14 chris this is all public and logged 20:14 thd Most everything is free at SIBL 20:14 nengard Genji - actively in their inactivity 20:14 brendan nengard - that's what i've found 20:14 nengard ... 20:15 nengard it's cause the searches cost them money too 20:15 nengard I can ask my connections though 20:15 chris talking about what we might do to get the already registered foundation, probably means they will block whatever we do 20:15 imp pianohacker: if it's just the name, create one outside the states, and a second one inside (with another name) and link from the on outside the usa to the one inside (guess it's possible to make the states-based one, member of the other one) 20:15 chris forewarned is forearmed and all that 20:15 Genji Registering a bogus Foundation, right where we want it, name what we want... I'd say thats active. 20:15 thd SIBL is merely a question of signing up for a time slot on the right terminal and knowing how to conduct the search properly 20:16 GeorgeSue Registration?? If the country you are registering in is party to the International Treaty, one registration will suffice 20:16 sledei if ll do, it'd be nice to know it's time to give up on them 20:16 pianohacker Genji: It's possible it was originally formed with better intentions and later ignored/abandoned 20:16 brendan owen - that's it from me, whenever you want to move on 20:16 chris GeorgeSue: ohh thanks for that information 20:16 owen nengard: You'll see what else you can find out and report at the next meeting? 20:17 * owen isn't sure it'll mean much, but good to know more 20:17 nengard owen, yes I will try my connections - if someone has a better connection (like a wife) let me know and I'll stop pushing for info 20:17 thd I would not impute the motive at the time it was registered 20:17 pianohacker GeorgeSue: But does that go both ways? Does the existing LL-founded US foundation affect any plans for foundations in other nations? 20:17 sekjal nengard: I'll let you know 20:17 nengard :) 20:18 GeorgeSue Depends on the place of registration 20:18 thd nengard: you are the best connected person I know 20:18 nengard hehe :) I try very hard to stay that way :) 20:19 owen The next item on the agenda is the date of the next meeting, but I'm wondering if we still need to resolve anything about the identity-change voting process. Should this be in process during the next month, or is it tabled until vicki reports back? 20:19 sledei dinner for me. will read log and reply if needed 20:19 jransom are we really going to meet back on christmas eve? 20:19 nengard i won't be here :) 20:20 thd owen: That may be a question of whether doing both helps or hinders vicky 20:20 jransom i don't want to be here :) 20:20 GeorgeSue Sorry I wont be thereeither 20:20 owen No, but if vicki was able to report back to someone by then we might be able to plan better for the next meeting 20:20 sledei would prefer other day but will be here if i have net 20:20 jransom I think we do proceed along dual paths 20:20 jransom and abandon one when we need to 20:21 owen Shall we suggest that she contact jransom directly with what she finds out? 20:21 jransom then we lose nothing. 20:21 owen ...since jransom was part of the first round of negotiations? 20:21 chris jransom++ 20:21 wizzyrea jransom I think that sounds reasonable 20:21 jransom I'm happy to share with Vivky anything useful and helpful 20:22 pianohacker jransom: agreed. We should include in any mailing list posts that this _is_ one of two possible paths, but we should go forward with both 20:22 hdl_laptop jransom++ 20:22 jransom pursue both with equal vigour :) 20:22 owen jransom: What would you propose to do to proceed along the other path, the identity change one? 20:22 IrmaCalyx dual progress is the go! 20:23 jransom get endorsement on the principle to relaunch. 20:23 jransom vote on name 20:23 jransom then domain names 20:23 jransom website up 20:23 jransom press releases written 20:23 jransom so those steps. 20:23 jransom will need to be done - but in what order and whan? 20:23 owen I'm not sure we can get endorsement from the community without hindering vicki's efforts 20:23 IrmaCalyx original Koha, mother Koha, Koha #1, .... 20:24 chris i concur 20:24 jransom maybe the website needs to start immediately 20:24 chris i think forget about the endorsment or name 20:24 jransom can slap on branding near the end when we have a name and logo 20:24 chris BUT 20:24 Genji We need to register the new name, so liblime doesn't claim it, too? 20:24 jransom yes. 20:24 chris we already have 20:24 jransom OpenKoha is ready for us now. 20:24 Genji i mean, in a trademark/legal sense. 20:24 chris what we should be doing 20:25 jransom ah yes. 20:25 Genji Else liblime might try to claim prior. 20:25 chris is backing up the sites, getting alternate bugzillas, wikis running and alternate website if we need them 20:25 jransom Can someone register that in the states today and cheaply? 20:25 chris turn them all off afterwards 20:25 chris jransom: no 20:25 chris nothing is cheap with lawyers 20:25 thd Genji: OpenKoha would probably be a conflicting trademark in the US. 20:25 chris and lets just dial it back a notch 20:25 jransom which would mean LL can't grab it either 20:26 chris we have voted to let vicki try 20:26 chris lets not queer the deal 20:26 thd Free software project get free lawyers and very good ones. 20:26 chris lets get sites set up we can use, and we can slap a anme on them when/if thats needed 20:26 nengard 3 emails sent out to special librarians - we'll see where that goes 20:26 pianohacker nengard++ 20:27 owen chris++ 20:27 wizzyrea chris: i like that idea, they can be merged if need be with koha.org 20:27 chris exactly 20:27 imp Genji: was koha started by liblime? or community based?
