Time  Nick       Message
23:54 jcamins    Well, Norway sounds pretty great.
23:54 chris      not sure about any in finland yet
23:54 chris      and a norwegian support company
23:54 chris      and we definitely have norwegian libraries :)
23:54 chris      norway isnt far
23:54 chris      there ya go
23:53 jcamins    We should have it in Helsinki... or Tallinn! then I can make a research trip across to Saint Petersburg afterwards. :)
23:51 chris      maybe in the next month or so ill mail the list saying, now kohacon10 is nearly here, its time for people to start volunteering to organise/host kohacon11
23:51 jcamins    Good point.
23:51 jcamins    No, they use Millenium.
23:51 chris      that would be too cold
23:51 chris      well i figure if its northern hempishere, wont want to be end of october
23:50 jcamins    I don't know... I feel like CEU might use Koha, though.
23:50 jcamins    So that might be a little early for Kohacon.
23:50 chris      :)
23:50 chris      do we have any hungarian libraries i wonder
23:50 chris      ohhh
23:49 jcamins    I like that idea! We'll be in Budapest until the very end of August.
23:48 chris      so, what we need to do, is get kohacon in europe next year, and time your honeymoon to end as that starts :)
23:47 jcamins    Next year we'll have an actual reception and go on a honeymoon after.
23:47 chris      ahhh, that'd do it
23:47 jcamins    Just homework. ;)
23:47 jcamins    Shari's PhD classes started last Thursday, so no honeymoon this year.
23:47 jcamins    I'm thinking there's a problem with my e-mail, since the webmail interface keeps on trying to download itself rather than display. Weird.
23:46 chris      shouldnt you be honeymooning somewhere? :)
23:46 chris      i read so many peoples i cant keep it all straight ;)
23:46 jcamins    Was there anything interesting?
23:45 jcamins    Heh.
23:45 chris      :)
23:45 chris      i read all your mail
23:45 chris      that was me sorry
23:44 jcamins    Hm. I guess either A) there's something wrong with my e-mail or B) someone downloaded all my e-mail.
23:44 chris      http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2010-September/thread.html
23:43 chris      jcamins: i count at least 5 to the main list
23:43 chris      and one on koha-devel
23:43 chris      hmm i saw some
23:42 jcamins_a  Or is there something wrong with my e-mail?
23:42 jcamins_a  Were there really no messages on the Koha mailing lists today?
23:30 * wasabi   waves from kapiti
23:27 chris      heya irma
23:25 irma       Are you there Chris?
23:23 irma       G'day #koha
21:53 chris      first batch
21:53 chris      http://patches.workbuffer.org/awaiting_qa/
21:38 richard    cool
21:38 chris      the good news, its mostly some zebra indexing changes, framework change, and xslt change and its done (to the basic level they are talking about anyway)
21:37 chris      yup
21:37 richard    but better it goes to the devel list than to individuals
21:37 richard    didn't think of that
21:37 chris      i guess the only address they had for katipo was the devel list?
21:36 chris      they sent one to me as well
21:36 chris      random eh
21:36 chris      heh yeah
21:36 * richard  thanks natlib for sending the info about MARC format to the devel list
21:31 richard    yeah
21:31 chris      was a nice short and useful meeting i thought
21:30 * richard  reads the meeting notes
21:24 chris      back
21:07 * thd      heads to the post office.
21:06 cait       sleep well #koha
21:06 cait       bed time
21:06 thd        good night jcamins
21:06 cait       and i have to accept that I will not be fixing this bug today :(
21:06 thd        jcamins: MARC 21 cannot be reformed sufficiently, but your system can.
21:06 cait       good night jcamins
21:06 cait       :)
21:06 jcamins    Good night, #koha
21:05 jcamins    But now it's quitting time, which means I get at least an hour of MARC-free time (i.e. my commute home). :)
21:05 thd        If John Attig does not see an objection, automation systems implementers could probably accomplish the task without having it rejected.
21:05 jcamins    That sounds wonderful.
21:02 thd        John Attig said that he was all for the idea of cataloguers using an easy to use interface where they would only need to know the tasks of cataloguing not fine details of a record exchange format.
21:01 thd        almost long enough
21:01 thd        John Attig has been around long enough to know the history.
21:00 jcamins    ;)
21:00 jcamins    _Now_ they tell us?
21:00 thd        cait: John Attig told me that the idea of having the cataloguer edit MARC records directly was an historical mistake which should never have been made.
21:00 cait       hm.
20:58 thd        cait:  At the meeting, John Attig explained that leaving punctuation entirely to automation would be difficult to accomplish in MARC 21 where the user is editing the MARC record directly because MARC 21 did not have the advantage of arranging fields in ISBD order the way UNIMARC did.
20:57 cait       download a record from loc and you have punctuation, download one from another source, no isbd punctuation
20:56 cait       but I am not so happy with the decision to not have isbd punctuation, because it's a terrible mix now
20:56 cait       I m all for leave it to automation
20:56 thd        cait: The MAB practise had still been to include much more ISBD punctuation than UNIMARC which leaves the problem to automation.
20:56 cait       I am still working on the hierarchies between titles... but I am very slow
20:55 cait       one of my coworkers was at the marbi meeting
20:54 cait       ah yes
20:54 thd        cait: at the last MARBI meeting for the MARC 21 standard a proposal form DDB passed to set a fixed filed value designating that the record does not contain some ISBD punctuation and that consequently the automation system must supply the missing punctuation where needed.
20:53 Colin      gmcharlt:  the 4310 fix does not work
20:53 cait       don't know MAB so well, Koha is the main reason I had to learn about bibliographic data formats
20:52 thd        cait: MAB had been similar in some respects.
20:51 thd        :)
20:51 thd        s/publication/punctuation/
20:51 thd        cait: UNIMARC defines the rules by which automation systems create ISBD publication.
20:51 cait       our horizon systems use unimarc without isbd punctuation
20:51 jcamins    Well, let's hope that A) RDA turns out to be less of a disaster than it looks like coming down the pike and B) the high cost doesn't render it a lame duck before the publishers manage to make it affordable.
20:50 cait       or can use?
20:50 cait       so UNIMARC uses isbd punctuation too?
20:50 cait       ah
20:50 thd        s/publication/punctuation/
20:50 cait       thd: sorry, i dont understand
20:49 thd        cait: Automation systems are responsible for creating ISBD publication in UNIMARC.
20:49 sekjal     goodnight, #koha!
20:48 thd        jcamins: A free version of RDA will probably take a couple of years but the publishers are listening as is the president of W3C.
20:48 cait       so they had to write that complex code too
20:48 cait       but worldcat wants it and koha looks strange without
20:48 Colin      yes but they could only sympathize
20:48 cait       the german exchange format does not include punctuation
20:47 cait       same here
20:47 jcamins    Did anyone listen?
20:47 Colin      When UK libraries went from UKMARC to marc21 I wrote lots of complex code to put the punctuation in going "This is wrong" to anyone who would listen
20:47 thd        jcamins: I have been discussing a remedy for the cost with the publishers
20:47 cait       In my dream world the system will take care of it, even stripping it from incoming data or tables like biblio and biblioitems
20:46 jcamins    At least, from my point of view it is.
20:46 jcamins    thd: unfortunately, RDA is too expensive to be a viable standard.
20:46 thd        cait: we will never be rid of it but we can relieve cataloguers of the need to create the punctuation.
20:45 Colin      cait++
20:45 jcamins    cait++
20:45 cait       thd: can we get rid of the isbd punctuaton too?
20:45 thd        jcamins: RDA is built from such an XML format although less granular than what I describe.
20:44 thd        jcamins, gmcharlt: Everything which can be normalised should be so the automation systems can actually use the data and not wait for the humans to interpret the data :)
20:44 jcamins    I'm not quite sure how practical it is, but I certainly like the idea.
20:44 cait       yes
20:43 jcamins    It is a beautiful dream.
20:43 thd        jcamins: there should be no nonsense such as numeric values in the same subfield as the units being designated and no language specific strings encoding information such as pagination.
20:41 thd        gmcharlt: I intend to extend the RDA enhanced XML schema whenever they have time to publish it
20:41 jcamins    thd: that's pretty radical.
20:41 cait       ok, thx!
20:41 gmcharlt   cait: no string changes; DB udpates may be OK, but criteria is that fix be obviously correct
20:40 cait       and working on one more to repair email notification of new serial issues
20:40 gmcharlt   thd: interesting idea - although the irony is that MARCXML, for the most part, *is* the most granular of the variousXML metadata formats
20:40 cait       gmcharlt: I don't want to bug, just keeping track of my pending patches :)
20:39 thd        gmcharlt: I have a more radical idea of making MARC merely an import and export format with lossless conversion to and from a more granular XML format.
20:38 jcamins    indradg: I see. In that case you'd need some sort of API, probably.
20:37 cait       safe as not changing templates or include database updates?
20:37 indradg    jcamins, the case is this, my client - the principal govt library in my home state of West Bengal (india) is planning on a tie-up with local indian publishers for cover image syndication (nothing like this really exists for local (non-english) publications)... its not a Koha case yet, I'm trying to convince :)
20:37 thd        gmcharlt: Yes, the XML meta-record wrapper is what should be done for holdings.
20:37 cait       ah ok
20:36 Colin      First attempt failed - I'm restoring for a closer look
20:36 cait       I have a lot of pending patches, just wondering :)
20:36 gmcharlt   cait: I'll do a final round of pushing *safe* bugfixes when I push the acq upgrade fixes
20:36 jcamins    I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but if you just need to associate an image with each record, you can take a look at the image_library branch in my repository (http://github.com/jcamins/koha ).
20:36 cait       gmcharlt: so only patches for the acq blocker will get into 3.2 now? no other bug fixes?
20:36 gmcharlt   Colin: yep - I can push it, although hope to hear results of your testing the patch for 4310
20:35 Colin      gmcharlt: did you see the other patch I sent a while back to get updatedatebase working?
20:35 indradg    jcamins, just as I thought
20:35 jcamins    You can modify the XSLT stylesheet to include an <img>, if the cover images are named predictably.
20:33 jcamins    indradg: at the moment, there's no easy way to do it, I don't think.
20:33 cait       not as exception, but as being local
20:33 davi       thd, Allow re-voting and editing vote and so on is a good more IMHO
20:33 * cait     adds the $9 subfields
20:32 jcamins    gmcharlt: apologies. I'm still in denial.
20:32 indradg    folks... sorry to barge in in the 9xx discussion, but I was wondering what do I need to do to feed Koha from a custom book cover source (i.e. non-amazon / google / syndatics)?
20:31 thd        davi: and I look to slef to supply one or more options for a vote to consensus process which allows revoting.
20:31 * gmcharlt says, pendantically, except the 490 ;)
20:31 jcamins    Yes, any field with a 9 in it (so, 9xx, x9x, or xx9) is local.
20:31 cait       not sure if this is done somewhere else too
20:30 davi       jcamins, The meaning not, but the 9xx use yes
20:30 cait       so I know which I can use safely and will not get problems with data interchange in Germany
20:30 cait       for Germany the 9xx fields got divided between union catalogs, national library and some others
20:29 davi       ack
20:29 thd        davi: yes all of that
20:29 jcamins    Yes, of course. But the meaning of any of those fields is not standard.
20:29 davi       thd, I think what we needed was just post draft of voting options (in wiki?) and then begin the review process in the mailing lists and so on, before beginning the voting?
20:29 jcamins    Oh, you're saying that MARC21-compliant records can have 9xx fields?
20:29 cait       yes, but what fields and subfields you define, repeatable not repeatable is up to the library
20:28 davi       jcamins, However 9xx use for "local use" is defined in the MARC21 standard, isn't it?
20:28 thd        My computer had been fixed a week ago but I helped a couple of people move
20:28 thd        davi: I will try to restart discussions on *GPL on the mailing list tonight.
20:27 jcamins    davi: 9xx is not part of the MARC21 standard, because each library can choose a different meaning.
20:27 cait       I think they are great differneces in libraries
20:27 thd        as slef said
20:26 thd        s/consortia/union catalogue/
20:26 slef       OCLC is a co-operative
20:26 davi       thanks thd
20:26 cait       and x9x , xx0
20:26 thd        OCLC is a consortia, not a library of course.
20:26 cait       hm I think you could argue about the 9xx fields
20:26 davi       even if defined for local use only
20:26 davi       I think 9XX is part also
20:26 davi       both, as both are part of MARC21?
20:25 thd        davi: LC is the largest library, however, OCLC would have the most diverse set of records.
20:25 cait       of 952 subfields or marc21 in general?
20:25 davi       Some libraries use just a very small subset, you know
20:25 davi       Using as much MARC fields
20:24 thd        davi: What do you mean by more extensive?
20:24 cait       and it is standard compliant
20:24 cait       yeah, I am, but so far it seems to be no problem
20:24 davi       The library of Congress maybe?
20:24 thd        cait: just be careful that the code does not clobber your data :)
20:23 davi       What is the the library you have seen which more do a use more extensive of MARC21 ?
20:23 thd        Koha 3.0 design presumed that one instance of [0-9a-z] had to be enough because that was the existing design in Koha and the desire was to release 3.0 sooner than would have been practical with a redesign of holdings.
20:23 cait       ok, I already started on the upper case letters ;)
20:20 thd        The problem is that one instance of [0-9a-z] from one field is not enough for everything which people want for holdings even on a long term basis and we need some method around that difficulty at least where indexing the data is important.
20:19 indradg    hdl, hi
20:18 thd        data interchange importance is merely what people agree is important with whomever they wish to interchange data
20:17 thd        losing data is a sin
20:17 gmcharlt   your "transient data" is my discovery system's gold mine of statistical information that can improve search results, for example
20:17 thd        gmcharlt: everything is important for data migration
20:17 gmcharlt   thd: who is to define what is important or not for a data migration or, more generally, data interchange
20:16 cait       It's part of the item data is all ils I know
20:15 thd        I do not think it important for a holdings standard to retain all transient data.
20:15 davi       ack thd
20:15 gmcharlt   exactly
20:14 cait       but I think fields as overall checkouts, holds, renewals, last checkout date will not be part of the standard
20:14 gmcharlt   thd: cait: they don't - simple as that.  for example, the no MFHD or 852 standard encompasses the concept of an item statistical category
20:14 thd        davi: the *GPL discussion has merely been delayed by my broken and now fixed computer.
20:14 cait       we don't have all information in the union catalog, so I don't know all fields
20:13 cait       thd: at least I am not sure about it
20:13 thd        cait: Do you mean that standard MARC 21 holdings does not track everything which the ILS tracks for holdings?
20:13 davi       so I can review the AGPLv3+ ?
20:13 davi       Has been AGPLv3+, GPLv3+, proposals written?
20:12 davi       About rel-licensing, if any
20:11 thd        davi: The one MARC field design limitation requires a design change which is present in the LLEK fork and in a fork in Cyprus which inspired the feature in LLEK.
20:11 slef       it would be nice if Koha tools imported/exported 852s more easily - conversion is not the most fun sort of work
20:11 cait       thd: our union catalog can export marc21 holdings
20:11 cait       thd: standard holdings are a bit of a nightmare and still missing fields
20:11 davi       I see 9XX is needed as exposed by somebody above
20:11 slef       the standard should be more important than the usage, but sometimes performance (CPU or developer) needs override both
20:10 thd        davi: Koha should be able to support standard holdings which uses multiple fields not just 852 for MARC 21.
20:10 gmcharlt   davi: jcamins is right - there is *no* standard serialization that covers everything one might store in an item record, be the ILS Koha or anything else
20:10 davi       thanks
20:10 jcamins    davi: I don't think that's reasonable, because 952 contains a lot of important information which is not in the 852.
20:09 irma       davi, after kohacon10 @ the hackfest some some work will be done on this
20:09 thd        I tried to make 952 usage more compatible with 852 for 3.0 development but my attempt at better conformity with the standard lost out to the need to include columns which are not standard in 852.
20:09 davi       I think the standard should be more important than the usage?
20:08 davi       thd, Should Koha be modified to adapt to match the standard?
20:08 * chris    wanders off
20:08 thd        davi: The problem with using 852 is that what is needed for Koha does not match the usage of 852.
20:07 irma       http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/
20:07 thd        Unfortunately, libraries use 9XX to do important things which creates something of an extended standard and some libraries somewhere have old records with 952 data from CAN/MARC.
20:07 munin      jcamins: Identifies the organization holding the item or from which it is available. May also contain detailed information about how to locate the item in a collection. (Repeatable) [a,b,c,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,s,t,u,x,z,2,3,6,8]
20:07 jcamins    @marc 852
20:07 jcamins    We need to use a local field for holdings information, because the standard field doesn't have enough information.
20:07 davi       good good, thanks
20:06 jcamins    That *specific* page describes fields that were used in the old standard.
20:06 davi       thanks
20:06 jcamins    The LC website.
20:05 davi       jcamins, Do you knwo some page which document the non-old MARC21 standard?
20:05 cait       davi: 9xx fields are local, not part of the standard
20:05 thd        952 was chosen by Nelsonville Public Library sponsoring paul_p's work to create a MARC version of Koha for the first time out of non-MARC Koha.
20:05 jcamins    davi: the 9xx fields are all local. Anyone can use them for whatever they want. That page from LC is talking about the old CANMARC standard.
20:05 chris      ok time to get the kids ready for the day
20:04 wizzyrea   it's an expression denoting a squeal-like vocalization
20:04 davi       What do you think about it thd ?
20:04 davi       Just I wanted to noted that maybe Koha should not encourage the use of 952 as it is marked as OBSOLETE at  http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd9xx.html
20:04 slef       squees?
20:03 davi       thanks thd
20:03 * hdl      can't wait meeting all those ppl
20:03 thd        davi: I can explain more about 952 now
20:02 hdl        see you.
20:02 * wizzyrea realizes that is the week before she leaves for NZ... squees a little
20:02 hdl        hi indradg.
20:02 gmcharlt   thanks all - meeting adjourned
20:02 indradg    :)
20:02 davi       +1
20:02 indradg    yes... its 1:32 in the morning here in India, so +1
20:02 gmcharlt   ok, so it's set at 6 October, 10:00 UTC+0
20:02 gbengaada  +1
20:02 irma       +1
20:01 thd        It is only fair to provide for globally appropriate times
20:01 chris_n    +1
20:01 * wizzyrea will attend from bed
20:01 * chris_n  would rather that than 6 or 7 utc
20:01 slef       You can practice for kohacon jetlag early!
20:01 indradg    gmcharlt, +1
20:01 hdl        +1 then
20:01 gmcharlt   hdl: something like that; main reason is that we've been running the past few meetings at a bad time for those in India, so it's time to do a 10:00 UTC
20:01 chris_n    thd: only if you don't go to work at a location too distant
20:00 thd        gmcharlt: There is plenty of time to sleep after the meeting :)
20:00 chris      11pm for me, thats ok
19:59 hdl        4AM ?
19:59 gmcharlt   hdl: too dang early
19:59 hdl        what time is it for you gmcharlt?
19:59 davi       +1
19:59 thd        +1
19:58 thd        10 UTC is a very good time :)
19:58 gmcharlt   so ...
19:57 * gmcharlt says, blearily in advance
19:57 gmcharlt   10:00 UTC+0 ?
19:57 gmcharlt   the first Wendesday in October is 10/6
19:57 davi       ack, thanks thd
19:57 thd        davi: gmcharlt had the answer for you.  I can explain more after the meeting.
19:57 gmcharlt   final item of the agenda - decide next time
19:56 hdl        but only with one tag for item information
19:56 rafael     thanks
19:56 gmcharlt   or something else if you've customized your frameworks
19:56 gmcharlt   rafael: so 952 if you're a MARC21 user, 995 if you're a UNIMARC user
19:56 gmcharlt   rafael: more precisely, bulkmarcimport uses what ever tag has been defined as the item tag per the MARC frameworks/item mapping in effect in the Koha database
19:56 rafael     so we need to have a common framework....
19:55 slef       rafael: bulkmarcimport takes item info from 952s
19:55 gmcharlt   LC is referring to an antique CAN/MARC usage; has nothing to do with Koha at this point
19:55 hdl        and MARC is dead... ;)
19:55 rafael     even if for local use do they have any impact on Koha scripts ???
19:55 gmcharlt   davi: I suggest reading the description of that tag on that document
19:55 davi       and so maybe Koha should not encourage its use
19:54 davi       952 is OBSOLETE as per  http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd9xx.html
19:54 slef       ok, I'll probably mention the 952/852 thing on list
19:54 davi       I know but
19:54 gmcharlt   davi: general comment -  9xx fields are specifically for local use
19:54 davi       yes, please add to next agenda
19:54 slef       rst
19:54 davi       ack
19:54 davi       s/use/encourage the use/
19:53 slef       davi: that's a different discussion.  Add it to next agenda?
19:53 thd        Sorry that ###gparted caused me such trouble in fixing my partitions.
19:53 gmcharlt   and at this point ... action on part of people to set up vote, define ballotts, etc. will determine if/when it takes place
19:53 slef       I've got at least two very unfun items on my todo list about the relicensing: vote format and one of the summaries. Nothing blocking them really, just the volume of paid work I've got to do.
19:53 davi       ?
19:53 davi       Also, I think Koha should not use 952, as it is OBSOLETE as per http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd9xx.html
19:53 thd        Tonight, I should post a message which SFLC sent me a month ago.
19:52 gmcharlt   I think main pending one would be organizing vote for relicensing
19:52 rafael     We follow as much possible MARC concepts and UNIMARC for bibliographic description but 9xx could be common to everybody
19:52 thd        I have had delay from my computer but I am using it now.
19:52 * slef     hides in shame
19:52 gmcharlt   action items from General IRC Meeting, 11 August 2010.
19:52 gmcharlt   moving on in the agenda
19:51 slef       cait: probably.
19:51 Colin      That was a list francophone is Belgium Switzerland etc (part of in both cases)
19:51 thd        fredericd had told me that one of his libraries was using it.  I cautioned him about incompleteness.
19:51 slef       hdl: imagine a + sign, not a union
19:51 hdl        and Russia and Georgia are also using UNIMARC
19:51 gmcharlt   I think for the moment we've talked this one out --- additional discussion to blogs or email
19:51 cait       slef: can you translate?
19:51 hdl        Portugal and Italy are not francophone.
19:51 slef       Colin: moi aussi... les allemands sont plus sages ;-)
19:50 rafael     well I was trying to follow English to maintain as much compability as possible and it works and is enough but may be we could try a common framework for 3.4
19:50 slef       rafael: I meant, do you have libraries using the English UNIMARC mappings?
19:50 Colin      In a few years of experience I've only encountered Unimarc in Francophone Europe, Portugal, Italy
19:50 thd        I know there are important things missing from the English framework but only added the most obvious.
19:49 thd        As noted in the comments I do not consider unchecked work safe for actual use.
19:49 gmcharlt   slef: zeno (or whoever) could certainly put on a blog post on k-c.org to try to solict more feedback
19:49 slef       davi: thanks for the info
19:49 slef       rafael: do you have English UNIMARC mappings?
19:49 hdl        koha-infos
19:49 thd        English UNIMARC was created as noted in the file comment from some unchecked work of a librarian where I only tried to follow the standard for Recommandation 995 instead of French Koha use.
19:49 slef       Can we run a call for people to comment on koha-community.org if they use English UNIMARC?  Announce it to koha and code4lib and maybe others.
19:48 gmcharlt   thd: that can only go so far - common values for some statuses is achievable, but at some point there will be additional ones that a library might add to represent purely local considerations
19:48 rafael     which  countries are using French mapping or English mapping ?
19:47 davi       slef, you are right. All are MARC21
19:47 thd        I think that more interesting issue is also for 3.4
19:47 thd        The more interesting issue for me is the one brought up by ebegin about lack of consistency for numeric statuses in actual usage despite some values being defined in the code.
19:46 gmcharlt   depends, I guess, on the starting point for the libraries that rafael mentioned
19:45 gmcharlt   thd: if nobody is truly using the English UNIMARC setup, updating it to be a copy of the French 995 mapping (with different labels, of course), would be simple
19:44 thd        if the discussion scope is limited to 3.2 then I see no significant problem with Zeno's proposal other than French libraries for which 995 is relevant have a different mapping.
19:44 gmcharlt   chris: hdl: thd: yep, ultimately an RFC or list discussion
19:44 cait       not sure this was really necessary
19:44 * Braedon  hides slef
19:43 * slef     runs
19:43 slef       chris: but PTFS say it's KOHA and they own us, right?
19:43 pastebot   "gmcharlt" at 98.70.42.64 pasted "for thd - how a bib record could be sent to Zebra for indexing" (8 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/59
19:43 chris      or an rfc and a list discussion :)
19:43 hdl        getting out items from biblioitems should be given a try.
19:42 chris      maybe move it to an rfc for 3.4
19:42 chris_n    sounds like a list discussion to me
19:42 hdl        But still, for 3.4
19:42 hdl        definitely.
19:42 chris      since this wont be done for 3.2
19:42 chris      so i think we might be getting off topic a bit
19:41 hdl        http://www.adbdp.asso.fr/IMG/pdf_r995.pdf
19:41 thd        gmcharlt could you explain the XML wrapping idea more fully?
19:41 gmcharlt   of course, as rafael implies, there would be data interchange reasons for UNIMARC users to achieve more consitency of 995 field usage
19:41 hdl        thd: very little gaps.
19:41 * chris    has one of his pet peeves poked
19:40 chris      s/KOHA/Koha/ :)
19:40 hdl        gmcharlt: this would also be quite interesting in order to get items out of biblioitems.marcmxl
19:40 gmcharlt   that way, the specific 995, 952, etc. serialization of item records embedded in bib data is less relevant to indexing
19:40 thd        hdl: yes. there are gaps in the standard.
19:40 rafael     Continental European countries are mainly UNIMARC so to become KOHA universal we need to accept a common framework
19:40 thd        Fortunately, even the latest version of Recommandation 995 leaves some fields undefined.
19:40 hdl        thd: you can use non standard item subfields.
19:40 gmcharlt   at least in the context of the current Zebra setup
19:40 gmcharlt   and use DOM mode for indexing bibs
19:39 gmcharlt   e.g., wrap bib MARCXML plus items expressed as XML
19:39 gmcharlt   and that would be to change the serialization of the item records for indexing purposes
19:39 slef       cait++
19:39 thd        Recommandation 995 is designed initially to facilitate interlibrary loans and is insufficient as holdings format.
19:38 cait       our german libraries are all marc21 too
19:38 gmcharlt   but at least for indexing of item records, there would be a way to make it a non-issue, at least for item fields that are stored in the items table outside of more_subfields_xml
19:38 hdl        gmcharlt: in fact, UNIMARC english frameworks are installed by default.
19:38 slef       I think all current software.coop clients are MARC21, even some non-English ones, but davi might correct me on that.
19:37 gmcharlt   I wonder how many English-speaking UNIMARC users there actually are
19:37 thd        There are problems
19:37 slef       zeno's proposal "We re-write English setup in 9xx fields" so that they are compatible.
19:37 thd        I did not have time to give a nuanced answer but the answer which Zeno was given on the list is that it was up to the library to define the links between the Koha MARC holdings field and the items column in the database in an appropriate manner for the particular library
19:36 slef       key point: unimarc "on local fields English and French are not compatible"
19:36 slef       http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.koha.devel/4775
19:35 hdl        To define default 9xx fields for Unimarc setup in all	languages
19:35 thd        slef: search both koha and koha-devel for 995 in the subject
19:34 thd        Zeno was asking about standardised use of holdings.
19:34 hdl        koha-devel and koha iirc
19:34 slef       I'm looking for a link to the question.  Which list?
19:33 gmcharlt   thd: go for it
19:33 thd        I remember the question which he posed on the mailing list.
19:33 hdl        I could too.
19:33 slef       thd wrote a conversion guide back for 2.x, so it would be an interesting comment IMO
19:33 chris      do you know what he was asking thd?
19:33 thd        I could comment
19:33 gmcharlt   right
19:33 chris      who isnt here?
19:33 chris      ahh this was zeno
19:32 gmcharlt   4. Koha Holdings data fields (9xx).
19:32 gmcharlt   we have
19:32 chris      slef: bug ids in commit messages helps
19:32 gmcharlt   moving in the agenda
19:32 gmcharlt   upshot: chris will start accepting patches for 3.4; discussion of sign-offs
19:32 hdl        sekjal: have been doing but sending a mail on koha-devel list to announce that could also be interesting.
19:32 gmcharlt   ok
19:31 chris      Colin++
19:31 Colin      It would be a good idea where there's a default assignee in bugzilla that you ask them
19:31 chris      at the moment, i sign off robins, he signs off mine at catalyst, i signed off one for wizzy the other day .. more of that would be good
19:31 slef       It would be nice to crossreference the patches mails, the bugs and the release management process, but I'm unsure how best to do that.
19:30 chris      sekjal: good plan
19:30 jwagner    His approach sounds feasible.
19:30 jwagner    Yes, chris and I crossed in midstream
19:30 sekjal     my plan has been to put any specifications to which I'm developing up on the wiki, so folks can provide feedback, criticism, ideas, etc.  then from the traffic on that page I'd have a good idea who's interested
19:30 gmcharlt   on the mailing lists
19:29 gmcharlt   requests on IRC
19:29 gmcharlt   formal relationships between entities to test each others patches
19:29 chris      jwagner: id expect all ptfs patches to at least have 1 other ptfs person
19:29 nengard    chris's answer was serious too i think
19:29 gmcharlt   jwagner: it can be any number of approaches
19:29 slef       chris: Can you somehow link to the mails on -patches as well as having files in that AutoIndex?
19:29 jwagner    That was a serious question, by the way.  Are we supposed to go on the listserv every time?
19:29 chris      is a good way to do it
19:29 chris      with a message please apply and signoff
19:29 chris      attaching the patch to the bug
19:29 hdl        hehe jwagner++
19:29 nengard    :)
19:28 chris      they talk
19:28 jwagner    How do people working on things know where/who to send patches to?
19:28 chris      usually there is at least one other person interested in the bug/enhancnement
19:28 nengard    the idea being that at least someone else has looked at it? got it
19:28 chris      nengard: different people all the time
19:28 chris      itd be nice to have patches to the list be signed off by at least one other person, if possible
19:28 nengard    chris who is that someone?
19:27 chris      then to the list
19:27 hdl        say [sign-off] or [tested]
19:27 chris      hdl: it would be better if people would send them first to someone else to signoff
19:27 hdl        chris resending patches on list would rapidly mess all the interest of list, unless we agree on a tag in subject.
19:26 Colin      That seems  logical. I should probably look at what's been posted the last couple of months and not applied
19:25 gmcharlt   Colin: are you intend to set up a QA tree?
19:25 chris      than git log
19:25 slef       I think we need some tracking.  Looking at chris's link.
19:25 chris      its just a bunch easier to see a list of patches in a dir
19:25 hdl        good
19:25 hdl        ok
19:25 hdl        and ft branches ?
19:25 chris      there will be branches too
19:25 hdl        lik a qa brach ?
19:25 gmcharlt   hdl: topic branches?  yes, I would think so
19:25 hdl        would some branches not be more useful for ppl.
19:24 chris      i would love for others to apply patches, sign off and resend them too
19:24 nengard    sounds good
19:24 chris      i will try to fill that awaiting_qa directory with those :)
19:23 nengard    k
19:23 chris      yes
19:23 nengard    will patches sent to head that haven't made it to 3.2 be considered for 3.4?
19:23 chris      http://patches.workbuffer.org/
19:23 chris      i intend to use a system like this
19:23 gmcharlt   +1
19:22 chris      so id like to open it up to people to start sending in patches for 3.4
19:22 hdl        tx rafael
19:22 rafael     We in PT are now confident on 3.0.6 and would like to still some time with a stable environment
19:22 chris      right
19:21 gmcharlt   3.4 - chris?
19:21 gmcharlt   moving on to next item on agenda
19:21 gmcharlt   cool
19:21 gmcharlt   anyway - I think upshot is that if hdl wants to do a 3.0.7 release, no objections; if he doesn't want to, that would also be fine
19:21 hdl        So 3.0.7 on the way
19:20 hdl        now
19:20 hdl        we have some, but most of them are on a git version of 3.0.x
19:20 slef       There are 3.0.x users who approach software.coop for support/upgrades.
19:07 gmcharlt   hdl: presumably
19:07 thd        gmcharlt makes a good point that users may choose to wait before migrating to 3.2
19:07 hdl        But is there 3.0.x users ?
19:07 gmcharlt   not all 3.0.x users are going to want to jump to 3.2.0 instantly anyway
19:06 gmcharlt   if a bugfix release of 3.0.7 is warranted and ready to go, I don't have any particular objection to hdl doing it
19:05 hdl        (which from a librarian pov would be not only critical)
19:05 thd        slef: the nastiest bugs are the ones essentially unreported especially if they are presumed to be features :)
19:05 hdl        But hold notices not being sent.
19:05 slef       anything blocker or critical?
19:05 hdl        No.
19:05 chris      hdl: data loss bugs?
19:04 hdl        there are bugs with holdings
19:04 slef       (I don't remember.  We run git.)
19:04 hdl        well, we still had some.
19:03 slef       Basic question: are there any really nasty bugs in 3.0.6?
19:03 chris      that would just be confusing
19:03 gmcharlt   and any thing that involves a database update is carefully so that 3.0->3.4 and 3.2->3.4 woudl hvae the same result
19:03 chris      hdl++
19:03 hdl        Since imho, 3.2 release shouldnot be coming along with a 3.0 release
19:03 nengard    hdl i don't see us needing it if 3.2 is around the corner..
19:03 cait       chris_n++
19:02 gmcharlt   sekjal: if they can be cleanly cherry-picked
19:02 sekjal     but new features that are already in HEAD would be alright to add to 3.2.x?  Am I understanding that correctly?
19:02 chris      hdl: im not sure it would be
19:02 hdl        And little time to package 3.0.7 and now, I would like to ask community if such a release would be really a good thing.
19:02 gmcharlt   chris_n++
19:02 chris      chris_n++
19:01 * chris_n  nails in a few more nails into the "no new features in 3.2.x" lid
19:01 hdl        I had vacation for 2 weeks.
19:00 chris      and remind him, if he does put features in 3.2 that arent in master, that its a bad idea and please take it out
19:00 gmcharlt   hdl: update on 3.0.x?
19:00 hdl        But sometimes new features helps some bug fixing
19:00 * chris_n  steps in late
19:00 gmcharlt   let's go to the next item on the agenda
19:00 gmcharlt   since we're veering into 3.4
19:00 chris      everything goes to master, and is backported
18:59 gmcharlt   Colin: at this point 4310 is my primary concern
18:59 hdl        Yes...
18:59 chris      dont submit features for 3.2
18:59 hdl        Can you be more explicit in how we could help him ?
18:58 chris      lets all try to make it possible for him to do that
18:58 gmcharlt   and I hope we all work to hold him to that
18:58 Colin      To Galen
18:58 gmcharlt   Chris Nighswonger has been pretty explicity that he will not permit that kind of divergence
18:58 hdl        Colin: who are you talking to ?
18:57 hdl        maybe we should ask folks to try and send on 3.2 and 3.4 if 3.2 and 3.4 diverge enough
18:57 Colin      are there any bugs in your queue for 3.2 not yet applied?
18:57 gmcharlt   yep, that would be up to chris_n
18:57 chris      yep
18:56 hdl        And cherrypicker onto 3.2 ?
18:56 thd        'bump' is almost invariably ambiguous in actual usage
18:56 chris      id hope some could be fixed for 3.2.1 :) or 3.2.2
18:56 hdl        So bugs will now be declared in 3.4
18:56 Nate       Nate Curulla: ByWater Solutions (sorry im late)
18:56 gmcharlt   sorry, yes, "rest"
18:56 hdl        the rest of bugs ?
18:56 chris      result = rest?
18:55 * wizzyrea Liz Rea NEKLS
18:55 gmcharlt   no, the classification of the bugs
18:55 gmcharlt   joetho: wha?
18:54 joetho     you mean in the agenda, right?
18:54 gmcharlt   at this point bug 4310 is the primary blocker; the result I'm prepared to bump to 3.4
18:54 gmcharlt   thanks
18:53 Colin      No. I'll see what it does.
18:52 gmcharlt   Colin: did you happen to have a chance to test that patch and determine if it results in a succesful upgrade of funds?

18:48 Colin      evening all
18:46 hdl        hi
18:46 gmcharlt   hello folks
18:45 slef       hi all
18:31 joetho     T minus fifteen minutes, more or less.
18:05 joetho     thx
18:00 cait       yes
17:59 joetho     general meeting less than one hour from now, correct?
17:22 collum     The xtranormals and the cake pans. Both.
17:22 collum     wizzyrea: That's cool!
16:34 wizzyrea   someone told me that the library xtranormals were the first ones they'd seen that didn't include cursing. ;0
16:33 wizzyrea   and omg. They loved it.
16:33 wizzyrea   I did a lightning round at our Tech day on xtranormal: I sold it by telling my librarians that "you know how you always want to make videos, but you never want to *appear* in the videos? This lets you do that"
16:32 wizzyrea   :D
16:32 sekjal     oooh, cake pans!
16:31 wizzyrea   My librarians are awesome
16:30 wizzyrea   http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7046237/
16:30 wizzyrea   hehehe!
16:27 hilongo    if I skip to the last pages I can see the results belonging to it, and the library name is listed in the Filter
16:26 hilongo    Yes .. I have set up branch for the new library
16:25 wizzyrea   have you actually created the library in koha?
16:25 wizzyrea   do you have a branch created for your new library?
16:25 wizzyrea   hilongo: yep, that's very frustrating for those of us with more than 5 or so libraries
16:24 hilongo    thus... with recently added library... not only their records appear at the last pages, but their library name is not even listed in the Library selector
16:22 hilongo    BUT .. it only lists the libraries that are visible on the current search result 'page' ... not all the libraries that have matching records
16:21 hilongo    Even more ... TO the left of the search results page .. there is a filter that lets you select a Library to see only the records belonging to that one
16:21 cait       hi hdl :)
16:20 hdl        mmm no
16:19 hilongo    If I set  defaultSortOrder and  defaultSortField in SysPrefs .. shouldn't the idrecord relevancy be omitted?
16:11 jcamins    Hello.
16:11 hdl        hi cait
16:11 cait       hi #koha
16:10 jcamins    I don't need to do the search right now, but it's good to know it's possible.
16:10 hdl        I think it could work
16:07 jcamins    Not the most user-friendly search method ever, but at least now I can do it. :D
16:07 hdl        will search for Myvalue in 123$a
16:07 jcamins    Cool!
16:07 hdl        in the big box : pqf= @attr 1=/record/datafield[@tag="123"]/subfield[@code="a"] Myvalue
16:06 jcamins    You can use that for searching on the OPAC?
16:06 hdl        and enable xpath
16:05 hdl        /record/datafield[@tag="123"]/subfield[@code="a"]
16:05 hdl        jcamins: does an xpath search an easily way  for you ?
16:04 hdl        But still, I worked on relevancy... And I think it got into 3.2 so maybe you could try and add all the indexes used there. It is in C4/Search.pm
16:04 jcamins    Of course, Koha doesn't easily provide the ability to do a full-field search, does it?
16:03 hdl        hilongo: lower priorty
16:03 jcamins    I never did manage to find it in the NYPL catalog.
16:02 wizzyrea   which is why I have come around to the "stopwords are bad" philosophy
16:02 wizzyrea   I know!
16:02 jcamins    wizzyrea: actually, there's a poetry journal from the 70s called "The."
16:00 hdl        hilongo: by default, if no sort correct or error on zebra indexes, then relevancy is recordid
15:59 wizzyrea   heh heh heh
15:58 jcamins    Much like "War and Peace" in a large university's next-generation discovery tool, you won't be finding it in the catalog. ;)
15:58 wizzyrea   but what if you have a book titled "the"
15:52 jcamins    hilongo: perhaps it's sorting by id?
15:51 hilongo    BUT .. what have me troubled now is that I have imported the records of a library, and they all apear in the last pages of a search result
15:49 Braedon    http://www.mail-archive.com/koha-patches@lists.koha.org/msg00546.html
15:48 hilongo    maybe it does ... I have to deeper test it ...
15:42 Braedon    shouldn't zebra handle that itself?
15:39 hilongo    I see the syspref to ignore them when searching, but only if Zebra is off
15:39 hilongo    And how about Stopwords?  Cause I don't want zebra to be retrieving records that contain 'of' 'the' etc
15:32 hilongo    hmm.. I see ... that is what I felt after trying it to do what I want  :P
15:31 * Braedon  realizes this is probably the wrong channel for that reference...
15:30 Braedon    ask the blotch. The blotch knows!
15:29 Fred       someone told me it s about black magic from Denmark...
15:23 nengard    it's a magic algorithm that no one has been able to define to me yet ...
15:23 nengard    hilongo it is sorted by relevance - but it's relevance according to zebra
15:06 hilongo    I noticed that they are not really sorted ... by relevance nor any other criteria
15:04 hilongo    I have a question about search results
15:03 hilongo    Hello koha fellows  :)
14:40 rhcl       I prefer gmail
14:21 wizzyrea   I prefer postfix
14:21 jcamins    Exim is supposed to be nice too.
14:21 kf         will ask a coworker to help me tomorrow
14:20 kf         ok, I will keep it in mind
14:20 jcamins    I still need to set postfix up on my new server, but it wasn't too hard last time I did it.
14:20 jcamins    Do you know, in ten years I have never managed to get sendmail to work?
14:20 jcamins    Easier than sendmail, anyway.
14:19 kf         how easy is it?
14:18 jcamins    kf: that's why I use postfix.
14:17 munin      kf: You're kidding, right?
14:17 kf         @eightball will I be able to configure sendmail?
14:16 munin      kf: The control number assigned by the organization creating, using, or distributing the record. The MARC code for the organization is contained in field 003 (Control Number Identifier). []
14:16 kf         @marc 001
14:16 kf         rhcl: munin does even know marc
14:16 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4239 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Allow holds on multiple items of selected titles
14:16 rhcl       hey munin, go fetch me bug 4239
14:05 jcamins    I also don't know how I would try it.
14:05 jcamins    I haven't tried it yet, but I thought someone might know the answer.
14:05 kf         hm
14:03 jcamins    An authority record for the part of the heading that's in brackets.
14:03 jcamins    600 $aWashington, George[$xCoin collections$vCatalogs]
14:03 jcamins    For example:
14:02 kf         jcamins: I have no idea what this is :)
13:56 jcamins    Does Koha support subdivision authority records?
13:55 kf         me too :(
13:55 sekjal     fortunately, it's not just me coding for this project :)
13:55 sekjal     I love that there's so much that can be done, but I hate that I don't have enough time to do it all
13:54 kf         there is always a lot of room for improvement
13:52 sekjal     oh, and while we're at it, make Koha support more than just MARC for metadata
13:51 kf         yes
13:51 jcamins    That would be amazing.
13:51 sekjal     what we really need to for the Zebra indexes to be completely user-controllable through the staff client, but that's no small feat
13:49 jcamins    I don't want to work with auction catalogs, either! ;)
13:49 jcamins    Very sensible of them!
13:48 jwagner    This one is controlled by a syspref because not too many sites will want to work with auction catalogs.
13:48 kf         jwagner++
13:48 kf         :)
13:45 jcamins    Yeah, they'll still need those, but they probably also want the 033. ;)
13:45 jwagner    jcamins, no, I hadn't seen that one.  But our site wanted separate fields for date, auction house, and code
13:45 jcamins    Specifically, 033 can contain the computer-readable auction date.
13:44 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4480 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, MARC21 033 tag and Zebra date indexing
13:44 jcamins    jwagner: did you see bug 4480?
13:43 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5193 enhancement, P5, ---, jwagner, ASSIGNED, Add specialized auction indexes and search options to Advanced Search
13:43 jwagner    Bug 5193 is more specialized
13:42 jwagner    It's under Advanced Search, More Options
13:42 kf         is the search option always shown?
13:41 jwagner    It was one of our school library systems that requested it :-)
13:41 kf         we have no school libraries yet, but I they will be happy about it
13:40 kf         thx :)
13:40 kf         ah
13:40 jwagner    See the LC entry on the 658: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/concise/bd658.html
13:39 jwagner    kf, it's a feature for schools -- the 658 contains curriculum terms, and this adds a search for them.
13:36 rhcl       oops
13:36 kf         jwagner: what is curriculum used for? :)
13:36 rhcl       how's it going?
13:30 kf         I get this error now when receiving new issues
13:29 kf         still trying to send me an email notification
13:29 kf         no
13:28 jcamins    kf: That doesn't sound good. :/
13:26 kf         Undefined subroutine &C4::Letters::GetMember called at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Letters.pm line 278.  :(
13:24 kf         jcamins++ :)
13:18 Fred       thanks a lot for that essential clue
13:18 Fred       :)
13:17 jcamins    But you managed to find it even though I told you the wrong name.
13:17 jcamins    If only I could type.
13:16 Fred       wow great! it works perfectly now!
13:15 Fred       got it
13:13 jcamins    OPACSuppress.
13:13 jcamins    Wait, I think I remember!
13:13 Fred       Oh really? that's great! i will check it right now then, thanks!
13:12 Fred       Hello
13:12 jcamins    Sadly I can't remember what, or where.
13:12 jcamins    Fred: there's something in the manual about searches working in staff but not OPAC.
13:12 jcamins    Good morning, #koha
13:02 kf         subscribing to email notification via opac
13:02 kf         new issues of serials
13:02 nengard    or are you talking about new items in general
13:02 nengard    that's the routing list
13:01 nengard    oh wait you're talking about new issues of serials?
13:01 kf         nengard: I will let you know if koha can do it :)
12:57 kf         not really what I want it to look like, I will try to invent one
12:57 kf         so far it looks quite good - but the notice I chose is RLIST
12:56 kf         hm, if you add a notice to the sub you get a link in the opac where you can subscribe to email notifications
12:55 nengard    I don't ... koha doesn't have that ability yet ... does it?
12:54 kf         and if it would be a good idea to add one to the sample notices
12:54 kf         i was wondering if you have an example notice for new issues arrived notices
12:53 nengard    yes
12:53 kf         nengard: around?
12:53 Fred       i ve two 3.01.00.140 installed and only one got that problem with OPAC, intersting :)
12:49 Fred       not yet
12:43 kf         someone using patron notification of new issues (serials)?
12:40 Fred       ok
12:38 Ropuch     Hm, back then with 3.0.x turning hidelostitems on worked in some cases
12:36 kf         this is not a stable version and not the current HEAD
12:35 kf         hm 140 is not current
12:34 Fred       3.01.00.140
12:31 kf         which koha version?
12:25 Fred       no change with english
12:23 Fred       no did not try the english version yet
12:22 kf         I am running in a lot of translation related problems, so this is the first thing I check
12:21 kf         do you have the same problem with english?
12:20 Fred       xslt off, just trying it in fr
12:17 kf         Fred: which koha version? problem happens for all languages? xslt on?
12:13 Fred       Is someone having a clue about an OPAC displaying no results while in the meantime the staff client works perfectly? (got some lines in error log too about :  HTML::Template::Pro:in TMPL_LOOP at pos 410: PARAM:LOOP:next_loop(0): callback returned null scope)
12:10 kf         hi Fred
12:09 Fred       Hello
11:39 jwagner    Hi kf
11:39 kf         hi jwagner :)
10:19 kf         lunch time :)
10:06 chris      quiet tonight
08:41 kf         yay - can edit suggestions now :)
08:40 kf         yep, seems better
08:39 kf         ok, thx
08:39 chris      it might be better now
08:39 chris      i tried restarting it
08:38 chris      and it wasnt being developed, and had about 1/10th the number of people using it
08:38 kf         kartouche seemed more stable, but the search was missing
08:37 kf         I was not able to deny/accept suggestions and wanted to check my permissions
08:37 kf         I get an internal server error when I click on logout
08:36 chris      there's probably nothing i can do about that
08:36 kf         :(
08:36 chris      i officially hate django and pootle
08:35 kf         tried to change my account settings
08:35 kf         chris: pootle seems a bit unhappy: An error has occurred. Thank you for your patience.      database is locked
08:17 kf         chris++ thx for the reminder mail :)
08:13 chris      hmm cant be that old, we only shifted the lists recently :)
08:12 kf         perhaps it's an old entry in their address list
08:12 kf         ah
07:53 chris      to use to proprietary vendors
07:53 chris      email to koha-devel, for katipo but to the whole list, i dont think they understand Koha :)
07:52 kf         hm?
07:42 chris      wow that was fairly random of the national library
07:38 kf         hi Amit
07:20 Amit       heya kf, Ropuch
06:58 kf         hi Ropuch :)
06:58 Ropuch     Morning #koha
06:56 kf         good morning #koha
03:21 chris      hi Amit
03:17 Amit       heya chris
