Time Nick Message 00:03 nengard we need a week long freeze? 00:03 nengard so if we're talking 2 weeks, then maybe you should write up something for the newsletter ;) or I can take your blog post 00:07 chris you can take the blog post 00:07 chris i dont have time to write much of anything im afraid 00:41 joetho "...What caused the major split between the Koha community and LibLime was the company's decision to keep its fork private and not give back. It promised to do so, but instead withdrew from the Koha community altogether...." 00:46 joetho http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2009-September/020204.html 00:47 joetho ^ ^ ^ but there are a few typos: remove the leading 1 and 0 from "100%" 00:49 joetho a better link, but you have to subscribe to lwn.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/386284/ 01:34 chris_n thanks for the link joetho 01:41 chris its probably nicer not to share that link 01:41 chris thats someones paid for subscription, and it would be nice to lwn, who just wrote that good article if didnt do that 01:41 larsw the lwn link? the one joetho gave requires you to be logged in to see the page 01:41 chris ahh thats aill rignt then ;) 01:42 chris it seems to work without a login for me 01:42 larsw hmm 01:42 robin He posted two LWN links 01:42 robin that's why 01:42 larsw ah 01:42 larsw I only noticed https://lwn.net/Articles/386284/ 01:42 chris i think ill kill the logged in one 01:42 chris from the logs 01:42 chris not fair to lwn 01:43 chris_n says right on the page: "The following subscription-only content has been made available to you by an LWN subscriber.

" 01:43 chris_n so it sounds like a link intended to be shared imho 01:43 chris not to the world 01:43 chris in a google crawled log page 01:43 * chris will remove from the log 01:43 larsw I forget what lwn's actual stated policy on that is 01:43 chris_n ahh, did not think of that 01:43 chris sharing it with individuals seems fine 01:44 larsw sharing with individuals is definitely fine 01:44 larsw http://lwn.net/op/FAQ.lwn#slinks 01:44 larsw "As long as people do not use subscriber links as a way to defeat our attempts to gain subscribers, we are happy to see them shared. " 01:44 larsw so they should be fine with that 01:44 chris cool 01:44 chris ill leave it 01:45 robin that's a nice policy they have 01:45 chris_n yup 01:45 larsw it's why they haven't grown to a global media conglomeration... yet 01:45 larsw doing things Right takes more 01:45 larsw time 01:45 chris_n Where is it appropriate to post a subscriber link? 01:46 chris_n Almost anywhere. Private mail, messages to project mailing lists, and weblog entries are all appropriate 01:46 chris_n so should be ok 01:49 joetho deleting from the log would probably be a good idea 01:50 joetho do that, please? 01:50 robin joetho: not necessary :) 01:50 joetho the link I got was a twitter feed, which I posted here, 01:50 robin LWN is OK with that sort of sharing 01:50 joetho then realized it was a subscription link 01:51 joetho well anyway. 01:55 chris turns out i was wrong 01:55 chris they dont mind sharing it 01:55 joetho are you sure? 01:55 chris http://lwn.net/op/FAQ.lwn#slinks 01:55 chris Where is it appropriate to post a subscriber link? 01:55 chris Almost anywhere. Private mail, messages to project mailing lists, and weblog entries are all appropriate. As long as people do not use subscriber links as a way to defeat our attempts to gain subscribers, we are happy to see them shared. 01:56 chris so if some ppl subscribe (i just did) 01:56 chris then its working as intended 01:58 chris_n hehe, it worked on me too :) 02:07 chris_n g'night 02:07 chris night chris_n 03:33 Amit_G heya brendan, chris 03:34 brendan heya Amit_G 04:32 robin yay, I now have a working-but-basic csv-to-MARC-XML converter that doesn't require weird windows programs. 04:33 Amit_G heya robin 04:33 robin hello 04:33 larsw how big do Koha databases get? 04:50 robin larsw: about this big: [................] (not to scale:) 04:52 chris heh 04:52 larsw it'd be nice be able to guesstimate the size, given, say, number of patrons and items 04:52 larsw but "manageabley big" is good enough for me now :) 05:19 robin http://paste.ubuntu.com/428752/ <-- if anyone is interested, these are the docs for the tool I'm working on. Its aim is to help smaller migrations (i.e. those that have been using a spreadsheet or simple database.) 05:19 robin It's still a work-in-progress though, but the important functions work, and MARCXML comes out the other end. 06:06 brendan robin++ that looks great 06:07 brendan that will be really usefully 06:07 robin I hope so :) 06:41 kmkale good afternoon everybody :) 07:00 brendan night 07:08 kmkale @seen chris_n 07:08 munin kmkale: chris_n was last seen in #koha 5 hours, 1 minute, and 3 seconds ago: <chris_n> g'night 07:10 chris he will probably be around in about 4 hours kmkale 07:11 chris hi kf 07:12 kmkale chris: thanks 07:16 kf good morning chris and #koha 07:17 kmkale good morning kf 07:18 kf hi kmkale 07:21 Ropuch^_ Morning #koha 07:21 chris hi Ropuch^_ 07:22 Ropuch^_ Hi chris 07:23 kf hi Ropuch 07:23 Ropuch^_ Guten Tag, kf [; 07:23 kf ;) 07:28 kmkale in the label creator add items how do I get barcodes listed serially? when I select barcode from the drop down I get only 1.

I am trying to understand my difficulties with Stage MARC Record for Import, and I remember that it worked fine for you... 13:32 jcamins Do you use a Linux machine or a Mac? I'm suspecting that the problems I was running into may come from my Windows XP/Firefox 3.6 desktop. 13:33 jcamins (and I want to figure out what works to tell our IT guy) 13:33 kmkale i use ubuntu 13:33 kmkale what problems are you facing? 13:33 kf hdl_laptop: I try to install German sys pref editor, I tried French too it worked without problems. I get the same output from translate for German, but translation does not happen, still everythng is english. have you perhaps an idea where the problem could be? 13:34 jcamins kmkale: Eventually I got it to work, but the upload times out whenever the file is more than 4 MB. 13:34 jcamins And this seems like a client issue more than a server issue. 13:35 kmkale jcamins:Are you and the server on same LAN 13:37 jcamins Yes we are. 13:38 jcamins However, we're using a consumer router/switch for a 30-some node LAN, which might have something to do with it, now that I think about it. 13:39 kmkale not sure but you can try copying the file on the server and ruiing firefox on it and upload locally 13:40 jcamins That's a brilliant idea. I think perhaps I'll give that a try. 13:40 jcamins Clearly I spent too much time banging my head against a wall, and my brain cells were crushed. 13:41 jcamins :) 13:47 kmkale I know. mine is pulp already with all this git fun I am having lately :) 13:48 jcamins Yay! Fun with git! 13:48 jcamins If it makes you feel better, I have the sinking sensation that I may have broken my public repository. 13:50 kmkale all that tell me is that you are a advcanced git user and I can ask for you help on matters git if other kind folks who are helping me gain my feet in #koha aren't around or get tired of my bugging :) 13:50 jcamins Not terribly advanced, but I can try and help. At the very least, I can relate to the pain of not having a clue what the documentation means. ;) 13:51 kf hah 13:51 kf it worked 13:51 kf hdl_laptop: it worked, forget my question :) 13:52 kmkale :) 13:54 jcamins Apparently it's not entirely the client. I guess we're back to the usual suspect: Virtual Box (we're running our server in a Virtual Box instance). 13:55 jcamins Oh well. I'll just file an enhancement request to make this work with bulkmarcimport.pl 13:55 kmkale oh. there you go 13:56 kmkale i usually throw hardware at it 13:56 jcamins For good reason (this reminds me: our public catalog has probably crashed again). 14:07 kmkale i dont like virtual machines much and actively try to run things on hardware as much as possible 14:08 jcamins I feel the same way. I don't like the idea that my "hard drive" can be erased by someone sitting down at the unsecured host machine and hitting the delete key. 14:09 kmkale :) 14:20 jcamins chris: Around? 14:24 collum jcamins: too early for Chris. I think it's 2 am in NZ. 14:27 jcamins Yeah, I realized that after asking. 14:28 kmkale jcamins: fyi the max file size I have gotten up to is 50m so far 14:30 jcamins kmkale: Wow! Definitely Virtual Box. We'll talk to IT about maybe getting an actual computer set up. It's not like we should need a super powerful computer. 14:34 kmkale YIKES i trashed my kohaclone, did a new git clone and lo and behold sure enough those nasty make test errors are back :( 14:35 wizzyrea jcamins: I broke my git this morning too 14:35 wizzyrea must be something in the water 14:36 kmkale I am using git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git 14:45 vdsmile hello 14:46 vdsmile now i am working on koha and i want to develop an import module for notices 14:46 vdsmile anyone have an idea 14:46 vdsmile ? 14:46 vdsmile please help 14:49 wizzyrea ... 14:49 wizzyrea welcome back 14:49 vdsmile thx 14:49 wizzyrea what kind of module for notices? 14:50 wizzyrea http://koha-community.org/get-involved/for-developers/ to get started 14:50 vdsmile thx for the uri 14:51 wizzyrea sure :) 14:51 vdsmile i will return back later after reading the doc 14:51 wizzyrea sounds good 14:51 vdsmile thnak you 14:51 wizzyrea good luck :) 14:51 vdsmile :) 14:53 wajasu i added a bug for the amazon associate id tag to be used so reverred revenue might be had. 14:53 vdsmile another question 14:54 vdsmile there are many pages in koha where you can choose the site, so i want to do something which catching the user connecting site and propose it for default 14:56 vdsmile for example in the search module page, I have an input select containing a list of sites availables 14:57 vdsmile i want to mask it and process the search just in the user connected site 15:04 ebegin Hi all! Anybody has suggestion for managing ILL? 15:06 kf jcamins: I just saw your bug report - we use staged marc import from command line 15:06 kf jcamins: overlaying records using matching rules 15:06 jcamins kf: Really? How? 15:08 kf jcamins: my colleague did it... I just know we do 15:10 jcamins kf: If at all possible, I would love to find out exactly how. Should I e-mail and ask? 15:10 kf jcamins: I asked him, he said it was no problem to use the scripts from command ilne 15:10 jcamins And they just... worked? 15:11 kf thats what he told me 15:11 kf we had a problem, because they give you no error when matching rule does not exist... but this is a problem thats solvable :) 15:12 jcamins Huh. Clearly I did something wrong, then, because every time I tried bulkmarcimport.pl, it just duplicated the records, or ignored matching records. 15:13 kf no not bulkmarcimport 15:13 kf the scripts for staged marc import 15:13 jcamins Oh. That would be why it didn't work. 15:13 jcamins Where are they? 15:14 kf http://spedr.com/efzc 15:14 kf I think here, but dont know how to use them 15:16 jcamins Oh, wait. There's a script called 'stage_biblios_file.pl' 15:16 jcamins Look at that. 15:17 jcamins I guess I need to change my enhancement request to refer to the documentation. 15:35 kf jcamins: just thought it would perhaps help you to solve your problem 15:35 kf jcamins: I have set up a koha installation for xslt development and can start now to look into the linkings 15:36 kf for analytics 15:36 kf ok, time to leave now - bye #koha 15:36 jcamins Hooray! 15:36 jcamins kf++ 15:48 jwagner gmcharlt, online? 15:48 gmcharlt hi jwagner 15:48 jwagner Hi there. You left me a message yesterday about Syndetics and the latest head? 15:48 jwagner I just updated my 3.2 server and it looks like Syndetics content is now working OK 15:49 gmcharlt cool, thanks for confirming 15:49 jwagner So does this now mean that owen's patch is OK too? 15:49 gmcharlt most likely, yes 15:49 jwagner good news! 16:08 kmkale cloning over git.koha-community.org is noticeably faster than over git.koha.org 16:19 schuster hmmm going through problems on my desk - If you checkout a book - send it to lost, it will still allow you to check that book out to someone else, but leaves it still as lost on the first borrower. 16:19 schuster I found this bug, but I don't think it is 100% related to my situation. bug 3399 16:19 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3399 normal, P2, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, REOPENED, Item checked out - marked lost - checked in - switches status to 'lost' & checkout status switches to 'not checked out' 16:23 wizzyrea my librarians just came up with a pretty decent idea 16:24 wizzyrea so we have this problem in our consortium: one library has a "fan club" where they put 20 holds on a title for their patrons at the top of a new bestseller list 16:24 wizzyrea er, title 16:24 wizzyrea so the first 20 items available go to that library 16:24 wizzyrea this pisses off the other libraries 16:24 wizzyrea "why should their patrons get MY item first?" 16:24 wizzyrea so the proposal 16:25 wizzyrea is some kind of method to denote that a hold is for a book club 16:25 wizzyrea and randomize it's priority 16:25 wizzyrea so that it gets mixed up with the other holds 16:25 wizzyrea which sounds to me like an insane programming problem 16:26 wizzyrea and; 16:26 wizzyrea apparently Sirsi already does this 16:26 wizzyrea (so our sirsi library claims 16:26 wizzyrea ) 16:33 chris_n wizzyrea: does it follow, then, that randomization is the settlement to all arguments? ;-) 16:34 gmcharlt who here rules their life by d20? ;) 16:34 wizzyrea lulz 16:34 wizzyrea but we had another brilliant idea in kohakansas... 16:34 wizzyrea what if 16:34 wizzyrea instead of the *library* managing the fan club 16:34 wizzyrea koha did? 16:34 wizzyrea so a patron logs in 16:34 wizzyrea says "I like james patterson" 16:34 Colin I think theres a weighting element to it as well not just random 16:35 wizzyrea so when a new title is added by james patterson that is marked "for liking by book clubs" 16:35 wizzyrea they get a hold placed 16:35 wizzyrea and all patrons who like that, get a hold, in a randomized order 16:36 wizzyrea and those who like an author get first dibs, because they are the heaviest users 16:38 wizzyrea am I talking crazy talk? 16:39 jwagner wizzyrea, see Bug 4245 -- it's an expansion on Kyle Hall's original bestseller club feature 16:39 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4245 enhancement, P5, ---, kohaprogrammers@ptfs.com, ASSIGNED, Bestseller's Club and email notifications 16:40 wizzyrea wait... there's already a bestseller club thing? 16:40 wizzyrea how did I not know this >.>< 16:40 jwagner In the works.... 16:40 wizzyrea jwagner++ I was not aware of that 16:40 wizzyrea spectacular 16:40 johnindy that is awesome! 16:40 jwagner It's insanely complex to set up, but works well once it's in place. 16:41 wizzyrea I love it 16:41 wizzyrea spectacular, I'll report on that thanks 16:43 jwagner owen's not on, is he :-( 16:44 jwagner I'm looking at a system which was upgrade from, say August of last year's code to mid-October. Something has crept into the area where the opacsmallimage goes, and I don't know where it came from. 16:44 jwagner Anyone recognize this: <a id="endpage"> _moz-rs-heading="" name="endpage"> </a> 16:45 jwagner It has the effect of pushing the logo down in the masthead. If I take it out in firebug, the logo goes back to its proper place. 16:46 wizzyrea you know what I also want? a link to the OPAC from the staff client. 16:46 wizzyrea but that's easy 16:47 joetho hardcode it right in there. Make it a default. 16:47 jwagner wizzyrea, filling in the OPACBaseURL syspref makes that happen, I think 16:47 wizzyrea hmm 16:48 jwagner But won't work if you have separate OPAC URLs for your various sites. 16:48 wizzyrea mm not working in current head 16:48 wizzyrea or maybe I don't know where to look 16:48 wizzyrea no, this is a test server, only 1 opa 16:48 wizzyrea opac* 16:49 jwagner In the admin group of sysprefs. If it's filled in, when you're in a staff record display, there should be a link to the OPAC for that record. I think. 16:49 wizzyrea oh, I just meant a link to the front page of the opac 16:50 jwagner Add it as a staff nav link 16:50 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/ODliNjhmN2M 16:50 wizzyrea ? 16:55 jwagner in the IntranetNav syspref, put in a <a href link 16:55 wizzyrea OH. der. 16:56 schuster or setup your browser to open two windows when it launches one staff one pac. 16:57 * wizzyrea mutters something about "sometimes I just want to click to the opac, dangit. 16:57 wizzyrea ;) 16:57 * jwagner mutters something about "sometimes I just want my PC to read my mind" :-) 16:58 wizzyrea HAHA ^ agreed 16:58 wizzyrea I use a mac, it gets pretty close sometimes 16:59 schuster See told you she wasn't herself... wizzyrea - she is controlled by a MAC... 16:59 joetho wizzyrea, I don't have an opac pref called "appearance" 16:59 joetho wonder why THAT is 17:01 wizzyrea jwagner re: intranetnav: brilliant, thanks 17:01 wizzyrea that will HELP SO MUCH. 17:01 wizzyrea but joetho does bring up an interesting issue 17:01 joetho opacbaseurl yes, but liz' screencast picture shows that under "appearance" and mine doesnm't 17:01 wizzyrea why aren't all of the appearance prefs on their own tab... 17:02 wizzyrea oh, that's 3.2 joe 17:02 wizzyrea new sysprefs editor 17:02 joetho 3.2 sysprefs 17:02 joetho ahhh 17:03 joetho we are using v. -1.4 or something 17:03 joetho actually v.3.01.00.032 17:03 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/ZWVmOTZkNmU 17:04 kmkale anyone has run 3.2 with perl 5.8.8?

20:07 gmcharlt not in under 60 seconds, evidently 20:12 wizzyrea lol, I always wonder why people do that 20:12 wizzyrea welp, no one's here, I've waited 30 seconds. 20:15 * gmcharlt kicks self for forgetting to restart the insta-help IRC bot 20:15 gmcharlt oh 20:15 gmcharlt wait 20:15 gmcharlt there's no such thing! 20:15 wizzyrea just us fallible humans 20:20 joetho (fallible?) 20:44 cait hi 20:45 * chris clocks in from work 20:47 richard hi 20:49 chris cait: http://www.pro-linux.de/news/1/15643/auseinandersetzungen-um-koha.html 20:51 cait yes, read it :) 20:51 cait its not a lot different from the lwn article 20:51 chris yeah google translate did an ok job 20:51 chris if you wanted to comment 20:52 chris you could point out that bit about not being able to trademark the word is a fallacy 20:52 chris i wish it were true 20:52 cait fallacy? 20:52 chris but TM exist for wine called Koha, Coffee/Tea called Koha, Jewellery called Koha 20:52 chris (a false belief) 20:53 cait ah ok 20:53 cait so its possible but in a specific context? 20:55 indradg chris, a quick question... was Koha a TM of Katipo? 20:55 chris no 20:55 indradg chris, that "no" is for me or cait ? 20:56 cait I think for you indradg, but i m really near to sleep 20:56 cait came online to point chris to the German article (but he was faster :) ) 20:56 indradg cait, lol... ok 20:57 chris cait: yes to you 20:57 chris indradg: no to you ;) 20:57 larsw chris is very binary this morning :) 20:57 * gmcharlt doubts that anybody is faster than chris' RSS bots 20:57 chris heh 20:57 chris now i have my android phone, ull need to be even faster to beat me :) 20:57 cait at least I was as fast as chris twice today ;) 20:57 indradg chris, shouldn't then the use of Koha in case of certain ILS known to us, fall under prior art and existing vocab... and not be trademarkable? 20:58 * indradg doesn't understands trademarks as good as patents and copyright issues 20:59 chris you'd think so indradg 20:59 chris if the application is not withdrawn, and it is accepted, then we have 3 months to object, which we will do 20:59 chris but it would be much better for everyone concerned if it never came to that 21:00 indradg chris, yeah... its like me trying to tm "man" :P 21:00 larsw it complicates matters that PTFS is applying for a trademark for the same software that has always existed under the name Koha 21:00 cait was there any reaction from ptfs about the trademark? 21:01 larsw indradg, "MAN" is a trademark, it's a (British?) company that makes trucks :) 21:01 chris nothing public cait 21:01 cait a reaction to the committee? 21:01 * larsw is curious about chris's RSS use now 21:02 chris i have a bunch of google searches, which have the results in rss form 21:02 larsw ah 21:02 chris it tends to find things pretty fast 21:02 larsw it's good to have a fairly rare name for your project/product, helps with those searches :) 21:03 chris yeah, the main confusion is a japanese pop singer called koharu (shortened to koha a lot) 21:03 chris and Koha ditore an albanian (i think) newspaper 21:04 cait this situation is terrible :( and when I see jwagner and jdavidb helping out here, sending patches, commenting bugs and all I feel sad to read all the bad talk about ptfs. 21:04 cait I know its not ok what they do, it just makes me sad 21:04 cait because there is contribution to the project 21:04 chris the saddest bit is that it could be fixed in hours 21:05 cait they = ptfs 21:06 chris im sure the people at ptfs are smart enough to do the right thing eventually 21:06 chris but the longer it takes, the longer it takes to heal 21:06 cait perhaps we could make it easier, making sure the door is open 21:06 chris its never been closed 21:06 joetho to clarify- is the NZ trademark application initiated by PTFS, or an individual? 21:07 chris it was initiated by liblime, subsequently bought by PTFS 21:08 joetho so the term "liblime" actually appears on the application? 21:08 chris it certainly does 21:08 joetho just curious 21:08 chris no person names appear at all 21:12 gmcharlt joetho: Metavore, actually 21:12 gmcharlt but same effect 21:13 chris yeah Metavore DBA Liblime 21:22 larsw http://files.liw.fi/temp/ptfs-tm-analysis.png -- that's my analysis of the NZ TM situation; sorry about the PNG, but I suck at drawing and a whiteboard is easier than computers 21:24 chris i think thats it in a nutshell, which is why im sure ptfs will withdraw it 21:25 chris and a new developer to add to the history yay 21:33 cait :) 21:33 cait good night #koha! 21:33 chris night 21:37 * brendan heads out to drive over the mountains on his way home 6000 feet here I come.... 21:41 hdl_laptop good night all 21:41 chris night hdl_laptop 22:05 * chris_n gets back in time to see everyone leave :) 22:10 chris heh 22:23 rhcl rhcl likes larsw's drawing. Makes things clear. 22:25 larsw thanks 22:31 chris http://www.flickr.com/photos/daniel_solis/4520024767/ 22:31 chris francois at work pointed me to this 22:34 larsw heh, so true 22:41 chris gmcharlt: you about? 22:42 chris or anyone for that matter 22:42 chris on the borrowers page we have a tab called 'Fines' 22:42 chris i would like to rename that to 'Charges' 22:42 chris because a lot of the time it is not fines at all, but rental charges or some other thing 22:43 chris might send an email to the list about it 22:43 richard charges sounds like a better catch-all 22:45 * chris sends email to koha-devel 23:12 * chris_n votes for ^^ 23:21 larsw I don't vote for it, since I don't know enough of the context, but on the surface it sounds like an obviously correct thing to do 23:22 chris yeah if no one gives a good reason otherwise by monday its done 23:23 chris after all, git revert can undo it :) 23:24 larsw it's as if git was invented to make that kind of thing easy 23:28 gmcharlt chris: one of those things where terminology can overlap 23:28 gmcharlt in some libraries 'charges' means 'checkouts' 23:28 chris seriously? 23:28 gmcharlt yep 23:28 chris dang 23:28 chris how about 'money stuff' 23:28 gmcharlt heh 23:29 gmcharlt how about fees? 23:29 chris ohh fees would work 23:29 * larsw was going to suggest "financial instruments and transactions related to customers" but "fees" sounds better 23:29 chris heh 23:30 * chris will send a follow up email 23:30 chris oh you already did 23:30 chris :) 23:33 gmcharlt "Involuntary Donations" 23:33 gmcharlt "Things you must be or else be redirected to librarypolice.com"? 23:33 chris :) 23:34 larsw "All your buck is belong to libs (they wish)" 23:35 gmcharlt "Our books or your money!" 23:35 larsw hah, I like that 23:53 chris_n lol 23:54 * chris_n thinks adding a credit card processing module to koha might fit right into this line of thought 23:57 chris well a gateway to processing sites 23:57 chris dont want to handle credit cards 23:58 chris but hand it off to a site then get the result back would be good
