00:25 bag           dcook: how's friday going for you?  I'm really looking forward to some friday
00:25 dcook         hehe
00:25 dcook         It's not too bad, bag
00:26 dcook         Listening to Active Child and doing DSpace config. Looking forward to beers tonight :)
00:26 dcook         Just finishing up your Thursday of work?
00:27 bag           I'm in late night tonight
00:28 bag           but having a fat tire
00:28 bag           http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/detail.aspx?id=7c5b394b-d7b7-486a-ac9a-316256a7b0ee
00:29 bag           rangi ^^ that's a good one
00:29 bag           have you had that?
00:30 bag           eythian you should try that one too
00:30 dcook         Looks pretty tasty. Nice website too
00:30 dcook         Amazing how many engineers go into beer and cheese...\
00:30 rangi         hmm
00:30 rangi         lemme look
00:31 bag           so it's crazy in the US…  the shitty beers make up like 95% of the market
00:31 bag           good beer is 5%
00:31 rangi         yeah but there are tons of good ones
00:31 bag           and I think this one newbelgium  - is one of the medium sized good ones
00:31 rangi         https://untappd.com/user/ranginui
00:31 bag           yeah I'm just so depressed with the 95% shitty
00:31 bag           :(
00:32 bag           yeah rangi I'm on untapped
00:32 rangi         ahh fat tire
00:32 bag           but I usually only log my homebrew
00:32 rangi         yeah they make good stuff
00:32 dcook         I was going to ask you about beer availability in the US, bag
00:32 bag           dcook: you can get budweiser anywhere they sell water :P
00:32 bag           heh
00:32 dcook         Seems like there are a lot of options, although being from Canada...we do tend to insult your beer availability pretty regularly
00:33 dcook         Not that ours is that great either :p
00:33 bag           but now adays you can get really good beer everywhere
00:33 rangi         vancouver had good beer
00:33 * dcook       misses Vancouver beer
00:33 eythian       you should get the bud light clamato, because that sounds terrible
00:33 * dcook       shutters
00:33 bag           yeah dcook there has been a really big movement in the last 5~10 years to improve that
00:33 dcook         Bud light is really gaining purchase in Canada, I think
00:33 dcook         It's depressing
00:33 dcook         Mmm, that makes sense
00:34 bag           if you go to a good grocery store you can get a really wide selection (lots of locals) and then some of the bigger good beer nation wide brews
00:34 dcook         My brother in law in Florida is a beer fiend
00:34 rangi         http://parrotdog.co.nz/  <-- if you ever see any of these, dead canary is my current fave pale ale
00:34 dcook         rangi: Did you head out to Parallel 49 in Vancouver?
00:34 bag           there is a little spot in humbolt CA that has an amazing pale ale
00:34 dcook         I never made it over there, but I heard really good things from local Vanc brewers
00:35 bag           http://www.lostcoast.com/beer_lostcoast.php
00:35 eythian       I don't think ParrotDog are exporting yet.
00:35 bag           anything that is Rogue is top notch
00:36 eythian       oh, they are exporting to Australia
00:36 bag           if you like IPA's - try any of the dogfishheads
00:36 rangi         dcook: hmmm not sure, we went to a few places
00:36 bag           this brewery has gotten big - but they make some of the best IPA's
00:36 bag           http://www.dogfish.com/
00:36 rangi         i was torn between beer pubs, and pubs that were showing the rugby world cup
00:37 bag           rugby won out?
00:37 rangi         it was the finals
00:37 rangi         so yep
00:37 rangi         but i did get to a couple of brew pubs
00:37 dcook         :D
00:38 bag           one of my friends from college is starting a brew pub
00:38 bag           http://crookedkeg.com/
00:38 bag           there amber is really great…
00:38 bag           the IPA is good
00:38 bag           they do BIG beers though
00:39 bag           like 8% and up
00:39 dcook         mmm
00:39 dcook         As a student, I loved those kinds of beers ;)
00:39 dcook         I like this mug club idea..
00:39 rangi         hmm i kickstarted someone starting a brew pub thing
00:40 bag           hmm…  well maybe I'm think of their speciality beers and not their regulars
00:40 rangi         maybe it was them
00:40 bag           rangi that was them
00:40 bag           it was!
00:40 bag           yeah I sent you that link
00:40 eythian       rangi: you can get koha coffee mugs, why not beer glasses?
00:40 rangi         http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1948300681/we-are-brewing-it-we-need-you-to-create-a-place-to
00:40 rangi         you can
00:40 eythian       oh, good
00:40 bag           yup rangi that's my buddy from college
00:40 rangi         http://www.cafepress.com/+drinkware
00:40 jcamins       I've been watching a documentary on microbrewries.
00:41 rangi         slap a logo on that :)
00:41 rangi         koha hip flask
00:41 bag           jcamins: which one?  netflix or something like that?
00:41 wizzyrea1     oh we all need a flask
00:41 bag           jared I've been working my way through the brewery documentaries in netflix
00:43 eythian       http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/cities/wellington-nzl?ref=home_location <-- oh hey, a wellington thing. that's rare
00:43 ibeardslee    oh yeah hip flash .. perfect for the under the monitor stand
00:44 jcamins       bag: Brew Wars on Netflix.
00:46 dcook         Hmm, this call for presentation form is...particular
00:46 bag           for kohacon?
00:46 dcook         We just whipped together an idea. No idea about any of the specifics yet
00:46 dcook         bag: mhm
00:46 bag           yeah that's google forms for you
00:47 dcook         I was thinking about putting something together and after hearing there were only 7-8 so far...I figured it might be an idea to put together something
00:47 bag           ah yes I think I saw that one jcamins
00:48 bag           yeah we need a few more…
00:49 dcook         We're thinking of doing a talk on integrating Koha and DSpace
00:49 bag           cool
00:50 dcook         I imagine it must be done fairly often, but I guess that could lead to discussion?
00:51 bag           discussion is good
00:58 dcook         Still working on transfers tonight, bag?
00:59 bag           nah you've just motivated me to think about a presentation
01:00 dcook         :D
01:30 dcook         Yay, proposal all done
01:31 dcook         Are folks starting to book hotels and buy plane tickets?
01:31 rangi         yup
01:32 dcook         Sweet. I really need to plan my holiday and then jump on that.
01:32 dcook         I'm still trying to convince the UBC library school folks to come down
01:32 dcook         I think there is a bit of reluctance though because Evergreen has such a strong presence in British Columbia
01:33 dcook         Although I figure a lot of what you could learn at KohaCon could be transferred to work on Evergreen as well
01:34 rangi         yup
01:36 dcook         Uh oh, he's stuck on repeat
01:38 rangi         hm?
01:39 dcook         I'm trying to tease you!
01:39 rangi         you arent very good at it :-)
01:40 rangi         oh hey
01:40 rangi         if you fly from oz, virgin australia are pretty decent
01:40 dcook         That's what I keep hearing from Aussies who live in North America
01:41 rangi         if you book early ahead you can get some pretty good prices
01:41 dcook         Yeah, that's what the boss was saying last week
01:41 rangi         and they have good seat back entertainment
01:41 rangi         as well as usb
01:41 dcook         I've seen the usb on Air Canada flights, but never known was it is for
01:41 dcook         How does that work?
01:41 rangi         i charge my phone/tablet with it
01:42 rangi         but you can plug in a usb stick, or phone and play your music through their entertainment system
01:42 rangi         on a 13 hour flight
01:42 dcook         Neato. I'll have to give that a whirl
01:42 dcook         Hehe
01:42 rangi         it makes angry birds not kill your phone
01:42 rangi         :)
01:42 dcook         It's horrible going from Aus to North America too
01:42 dcook         lol
01:42 dcook         Good point
01:43 dcook         With the time change, Vancouver to Sydney is a breeze
01:43 dcook         I just sleep for most of it
01:43 rangi         yeah
01:43 dcook         But going the other way around...
01:43 rangi         *nod*
01:43 rangi         im planning to get to reno at least a day before
01:43 dcook         Yeah, that's what I was thinking too
01:43 rangi         otherwise ill just sleep through the first day
01:43 rangi         that way if they lose my luggage
01:44 rangi         i might have it by time i need to present
01:44 rangi         not like last kohacon :)
01:44 dcook         Ouch
01:44 dcook         Yeah, definitely getting in a day early to recover from flight hangover
01:45 dcook         Although last time I went back to Canada, was the first and only time I've ever experienced jetlag
01:45 dcook         So maybe it was more emotional than physical...
01:45 dcook         I also spent a lot of that 13 hours watching really bad...awful...horrible Hollywood movies they were playing on the mainscreen
01:45 * wizzyrea    had terrible jetlag coming back from kohacon in NZ
01:45 rangi         i just cant sleep
01:45 wizzyrea      going back I guess.
01:45 rangi         im too tall
01:46 rangi         so if i land at say 1pm
01:46 dcook         How tall are you?
01:46 * dcook       can't remember
01:46 wizzyrea      spud was up the whole way home
01:46 rangi         only 6'2"
01:46 wizzyrea      it was terrible
01:46 dcook         Mmm, I'm the same
01:46 dcook         Doesn't make for the most comfortable rides
01:46 rangi         trying to stay awake until say 9pm
01:46 rangi         after being awake for 13 hours already is hard
01:46 rangi         and then i wake up at like 5am
01:46 rangi         bleargh
01:47 dcook         wizzyrea: :(
01:47 dcook         Ugh indeed
01:47 bag           yeah all of us will be there the day before
01:47 bag           we're having a staff retreat the day before
01:47 rangi         good plan
01:47 * dcook       thumbs up
01:49 jcamins       Hm. Apparently you can't specify ::after pseudo-element styles inline.
01:51 dcook         Makes sense, me thinks
01:51 dcook         Mostly after a quick Google of it :p
01:52 jcamins       Yep.
01:52 dcook         I may have ranted a bit (in a good way) about your cataloguing project last night :p
01:52 jcamins       :)
01:52 jcamins       I came up with a better tag selection interface conept.
01:52 jcamins       Now I just have to impelemnt it.
01:53 dcook         :D
01:53 dcook         I'll try to break it after you do ;)
01:53 jcamins       :)
01:54 jcamins       Sadly, the implementation is much more difficult than the original.
01:55 dcook         Hmm, I'll take that as a good sign though
01:57 jcamins       And now I can't figure out how to increase the size of an element.
01:58 dcook         What kind of element?
01:59 jcamins       A span.
01:59 jcamins       The problem is it needed to be an inline-block element.
02:01 jcamins       Now... how do I force it to have height?
02:03 dcook         Is it empty or does it have text?
02:03 dcook         I assume empty
02:03 jcamins       Empty.
02:03 dcook         I don't know if you can force empty spans and divs to have heights :S
02:03 jcamins       You can, you just can't force them to be the height they would be if they had stuff.
02:04 dcook         http://man.thelostweb.com/en/man/empty-span-width-and-height.html
02:04 dcook         ?
02:05 * dcook       goes back to trying to figure out DSpace's undocumented searching tricks
02:05 jcamins       Hrm. That doesn't quite work.
02:06 jcamins       Well, I'll make it 20px for now, and worry about it later.
02:08 dcook         Mmm, turns out that 2008-2010 doesn't return a date range...it only returns items from 2008 AND 2010
02:08 dcook         Grrr
02:08 jcamins       In Koha?
02:09 dcook         DSpace
02:10 wizzyrea      oh phew.
02:10 wizzyrea      it turns out tahat while drinking jasmine tea is lovely, it's really the *smell* of it I like.
02:10 dcook         Sorry for any heart attacks caused there
02:10 wizzyrea      hi tcohen
02:10 tcohen        hi wizzyrea
02:10 dcook         It is a pretty great smell
02:10 dcook         Lots of jasmine bushes by my house
02:11 * wizzyrea    really wants a jasmine bush by her bedroom window
02:11 tcohen        sencha with jasmine
02:11 dcook         (or at least I'm told that's the case and that is in fact what I was smelling :P)
02:11 wizzyrea      I suppose that could be arranged easily enough.
02:11 wizzyrea      but they're kind of plants that grow out of control
02:11 dcook         There is a scent I smelled in Spain that makes my brain do wonderful things, but I have no idea what the plant is :S
02:11 wizzyrea      honeysuckle
02:11 tcohen        there are several jasmine types
02:12 cjh           mmmhhmm sencha and jasmine would be lovely.
02:15 eythian       dcook: sounds like the marajuana plany
02:15 eythian       plant
02:15 dcook         :p
02:15 dcook         I think it was some sort of bush, and I think I typically smelled it at night
02:16 wizzyrea      probably a type of jasmine then.
02:16 dcook         I was staying in this little town outside of Malaga, and when I was walking the streets at night...so good
02:16 dcook         Intriguing
02:16 dcook         It's different from tthe jasmine I smell here for sure
02:16 tcohen        madreselva
02:16 wizzyrea      oh thank heavens above daylight savings time this weekend.
02:17 wizzyrea      ends*
02:17 wizzyrea      that getting up before dawn thing is for the fracking birds.
02:17 bag           so that means you're only 19 hours ahead of us?
02:17 dcook         madreselva = honeysuckle?
02:17 eythian       It means that morning people have more morning time, but normal people have really early evenings :/
02:17 tcohen        yes dcook
02:18 bag           eythian: you're a night person?
02:18 tcohen        didn't realize actually
02:18 wizzyrea      i prefer dark at night more than in the morning :P
02:18 eythian       bag: I'm a normal person, yes :)
02:18 cjh           wizzyrea: thanks for the reminder :p
02:18 bag           HA
02:18 bag           I'm a morning person and a night person - the middle of the day - not so much
02:18 dcook         Awesome. Thanks, tcohen and wizzyrea.
02:18 dcook         bag++
02:18 * wizzyrea    giggles at eythian
02:18 dcook         Actually, I think I'm an all day person
02:19 wizzyrea      I like the time of day when I'm getting things done.
02:19 dcook         If I could have some sort of quantum sleep schedule, that would be great
02:19 wizzyrea      ^
02:19 dcook         I love waking up at 5am...but also love going to bed at 5am...doesn't work well
02:19 wizzyrea      I want shrodingers sleep schedule - to be both awake and asleep at the same time
02:19 bag           I can do a 3 months of not getting much sleep like 5~6 hours a night - but then the following month I sleep like 10~12 hours a night
02:19 wizzyrea      we call that "having kids"
02:19 dcook         hehe
02:20 dcook         I laugh now...
02:20 wizzyrea      except it's more like 3-5 months of sleeping 5-6 hours a day total, and then the rest of your life wishing for the days you could sleep 10-12
02:20 tcohen        almost the same wizzyrea
02:20 jcamins       Blech. Bootstrap typeahead doesn't work with contenteditable.
02:21 bag           wizzyrea++
02:22 wizzyrea      actually, don't hit me... spud will usually if left un-tampered-with sleep until 9:30ish
02:22 wizzyrea      am
02:22 wizzyrea      and go to bed at 8:30ish pm
02:22 wizzyrea      so I could technically get 12 hours if I realllly wanted it
02:23 wizzyrea      but I've got STUFF TO DO ;)
02:24 dcook         lol
02:24 bag           Ginny 3.14  goes to sleep at 7:30 and wakes up around 6:30…  but she also wakes up at 10pm, 2am and 4:30 like where the hell is my mama
02:24 cjh           wizzyrea: those are your productive hours
02:24 dcook         bag: I hear it's a good thing if children wake up throughout the night though in terms of parent bonding
02:24 * wizzyrea    remembers those days
02:25 wizzyrea      if you don't get to them quickly they'll be eaten by dingoes!
02:25 dcook         I was always praised for sleeping through the night as an infant, but apparently that's because I learned to "self-soothe"
02:25 dcook         Which cognitively speaking is actually harmful O_o
02:25 wizzyrea      meaning, your parent's didn't come running.
02:25 wizzyrea      lol.
02:25 dcook         I think they're deep sleepers too :p
02:25 bag           Ginny sleeps in bed with us
02:25 * wizzyrea    is an 'err on the side of being closer' type
02:25 dcook         Apparently it's not a good thing to leave your baby crying though
02:26 dcook         In the sense of letting themselves work it out
02:26 bag           she actually sleeps with her arms wrapped around my arm…
02:26 wizzyrea      there's studies showing both ways. I say, whichever way is easier on ya, do it that way.
02:26 dcook         bag: Aww X infinity
02:26 wizzyrea      d'awwwww
02:26 tcohen        jcamins: is it a blocker?
02:26 wizzyrea      spud would still prefer to sleep with us but he's too big now.
02:27 bag           yup so usally Ginny and I have to find Sonja who's left the bed in the middle of the night cause she can't sleep with Ginny in bed - but Ginny and I can
02:27 bag           heh
02:27 bag           poor sonja
02:27 wizzyrea      aw
02:27 dcook         :(
02:27 wizzyrea      now that is irony.
02:27 bag           yup :(
02:27 * dcook       thinks sleeping with the cats is good preparation
02:27 dcook         Except Starbuck steals the blankets in the winter...
02:27 bag           but we don't have a second bedroom
02:28 bag           and the qt3.14 will not sleep in her crib
02:28 dcook         :/
02:28 wizzyrea      spud wouldn't either. he didn't until the crib wasn't a cage.
02:28 wizzyrea      then he slept in his bed fine, the crazy kid.
02:28 bag           yeah that is weird they are like cages aren't they
02:28 wizzyrea      you might try the montessori type bed
02:29 wizzyrea      basically a pad on the floor
02:29 jcamins       tcohen: is what a blocker?
02:29 bag           yeah we are thinking a pad on the floor is coming soon
02:29 wizzyrea      so no falling out of bed.
02:29 tcohen        the problem with bootstrap's typeahead you mentioned
02:29 jcamins       No, it has nothing to do with Koha.
02:29 wizzyrea      oh... no that was for something else he was working on
02:29 bag           ack gotta run
02:29 bag           later all
02:29 bag           be well
02:29 wizzyrea      byee
02:30 tcohen        bye bag
02:30 tcohen        ok, my brain is in automatic pilot-mode now, i obviously missed part of the convesation

09:11 vfernandes    hi :)
09:12 vfernandes    one question: in Koha 3.10 or 3.8 it's possible to send a email to the users like newsletters for example?
09:13 kf            vfernandes: no, currently not
09:13 kf            vfernandes: i think it was once planned to have that as an option for the enhanced messagng preferences
09:13 kf            but it never got fully implemented
09:14 vfernandes    ok thanks kf
09:16 vfernandes    maybe i will need to develop this feature soon, and then submit to the community
09:16 vfernandes    :)
09:17 kf            :)
09:17 kf            vfernandes: it would be nice if there was a way that uses can subscribe t it
09:17 kf            sending them mail without their confirmation could be a problem here
09:18 vfernandes    yes, for newsletters... but for example if the library wants to send a email to all patrons with the new library schedule
09:18 vfernandes    there is no need of confirmation
09:19 vfernandes    but that's all I need to know... if the feature doesn't exist, development is needed :)
09:19 kf            i think so :)
09:20 kf            maybe some artefacts in the code - it was called library events I think
09:20 kf            I remember it showing up in the translations
09:21 vfernandes    kf one more question: imagine that you have a record with 3 documents. It's possible when you borrow one of them to block the others (not possible to borrow)?
09:22 kf            hm I don't think so
09:22 kf            I know there is a new pref that won't allow to place another hold on the record
09:22 kf            the problem is multivolume things
09:22 kf            or serials
09:22 kf            long term probably would need to be itemlevel
09:24 kf            or would nice if it was
09:24 kf            on itemtype level
09:24 kf            fridays...
09:24 vfernandes    this is what I need: 1 record with a CD, a book and one magazine... when the user tries to borrow something of this record, he will take all 3 items
09:25 kf            oh
09:25 kf            that's different to what I thought
09:25 kf            I was thinking only allow borrowing one item at the same time
09:25 kf            for multi copy things
09:27 vfernandes    so what I want it's possible?
09:40 kf            vfernandes: not automatically no
09:40 kf            vfernandes: you could use 1 item instead and the materials note
09:42 kf            [off] I have a german documentation about this here https://wiki.bsz-bw.de/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=l-team:koha:koha-handbuch:ausleihe:3-6_01_beilagenotiz_erfassen.pdf
09:44 kf            it makes a note pop up on checkout and check in
09:44 kf            not really what you wanted, but maybe still helpful
09:47 drojf         vfernandes: you can use analytic records for that. i think easyanalytics would have one and the same item that is shown with each of the records that are part of the set. there are other ways to do it too. you might want to watch the video of jcamins' kohacon talk from last year
09:48 * kf          hands over staff client translation to drojf
09:48 kf            http://translate.koha-community.org/de/312/
09:49 drojf         nice try kf, unfortunately i have other things to do
09:49 kf            drojf: also an option - but then you have to have a separate record for each and no check that all is given back or only one component is
09:50 drojf         if you want to have a full record for a book, a cd and a something (that is how i understood it) it is an option, but yes, it is more complicated and more work
09:50 kf            more confusing to the patron :)
09:51 drojf         anyway, in case it is of interest http://archive.org/details/Kohacon12-AnalyticRecordsAndKoha
09:52 vfernandes    thanks kf and drojf

11:44 Viktor        magnuse I forgot the important stuff: the answer was that the needs is to govern how long personal records are kept. It's not allowed to just keep the records until the disk is full.

13:34 kf            can't see anything in the source code
13:38 tcohen        hmm, a highly customized one!
13:39 kf            yeah I think customized 2.x
13:40 tcohen        i was going to say, i'm not familiar with that html structure
13:40 tcohen        I started working on koha on 3.0beta
13:41 kf            :)
13:42 kf            about the same for me
13:42 kf            hm bit later even
13:42 kf            some time before 3.2
13:49 oleonard      It looks like a complete rewrite of the template to me, but I'm guessing based on 3.x
13:49 kf            hm the result list reminded me of 3.2
13:49 kf            but there are also somet things that look newer
13:52 tcohen        did 3.2 use tables for search results?
13:52 kf            I think we still do, but not like that
13:53 kf            with items separate
13:53 kf            i was researching libraries in poland :)
13:53 kf            i will just note that it's customized
13:54 tcohen        i don't see the usual yui divs

14:20 vfernandes    hello
14:21 vfernandes    there wasn't a topic in koha wiki to upgrade from 2.2.8 to 3.X?
14:22 oleonard      http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Upgrading_2.2 ?
14:22 oleonard      I don't know if that is the right one vfernandes
14:22 vfernandes    that's it :)
14:23 vfernandes    new client with old 2.2.8
14:26 * oleonard    cheers any upgrade from 2.x!
14:27 vfernandes    let's hope that everything went right :)
14:27 oleonard      paul_p: I wonder if we could agree on a list of features any one of which could trigger a version number increase?
14:30 paul_p        oleonard not sure.
14:31 oleonard      paul_p: I think it's a worthwhile discussion. We really have no plan for making it past 3.x.x
14:32 paul_p        vfernandes I confirm the wiki page for upgrading from 2.2 I used it "recently" (something like less than a year ago) to upgrade a very old Koha !
14:32 paul_p        oleonard I agree it's a worthwhile discussion. And an easy option would be to remove the "3." ;-)
14:33 vfernandes    thanks oleonard and paul_p... next week will check that :)
14:33 paul_p        a major version every 6 months = a major number every 6 months. Easy to understand for everybody !
14:34 oleonard      However, I think libraries need a good understanding of how much one version differs from the next when planning whether or not to upgrade.
14:34 kf            I have to say I like our way of doing it
14:34 oleonard      I'm thinking in particular of independent Koha libraries for whom upgrades are more difficult and time consuming.
14:35 kf            and having the possibility to announce a big change with a 4 :)
14:36 tcohen        i belive we haven't clearly established the life cycle of a release, and are encouraging people to use packages in a way it may cause trouble because of major version upgrades
14:38 kf            tcohen: hm not sure how it would create trouble?
14:39 magnuse       i seem to remember we said once that Solr and Plack (persistence) could be triggers for 4 and 5?
14:39 kf            yep
14:40 kf            a newly written module would qualify too I guess
14:44 oleonard      Time travel for instance.
14:45 tcohen        we currently support 3 releases simultaneously, right?
14:46 tcohen        and users need to keep in mind they need to change oldstable, squeeze or squeeze-dev accordingly
14:47 tcohen        i just mean i'd like to have something like koha-common3.8 and koha-common3.10
14:47 tcohen        which is not related to the discussion
14:47 tcohen        heh
14:48 jcamins       kf: I think that's a 3.x.
14:49 kf            :)
14:49 kf            hey jcamins
14:49 jcamins       What version I do not know, but 3.x.
14:50 Anathemizatu  Hi, everybody!
14:51 Anathemizatu  Is there someone that uses Koha with Unimarc indexing for Zebra? After update from 3.8 to the new stable version, I can't get the authority search to work
14:52 jcamins       Anathemizatu: how did you install? You have to rerun the entire installation process.
14:52 jcamins       And, for the record, I can't get UNIMARC to work past 3.8 either.
14:52 Anathemizatu  I've installed from Debian packages
14:53 kf            jcamins: ouch. is there abug?
14:53 kf            jcamins: I had it working in my test installation I think, from git
14:53 jcamins       kf: no, because none of the UNIMARC users have reported the problem, so I just rely on them to have actually tested the UNIMARC searching patches that I push.
14:54 jcamins       Anathemizatu: I suspect it requires hand editing the configuration files.
14:54 kf            jcamins: you can rely that what I qa'd for unimarc was basedon that unimarc installation I have
14:54 kf            and tested there
14:55 jcamins       Fortunately there haven't been many Zebra-specific UNIMARC patches.
14:56 Anathemizatu  I've done a lot of experiments with it :) From the beggining I thought that it was a problem tied to bug 9256
14:56 huginn        04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9256 critical, P5 - low, ---, magnus, RESOLVED FIXED, Search is broken for 3.10 package-installs when marcflavour != marc21
14:56 jcamins       Yes, it has to do with the "fix" that required that fix.
14:57 * magnuse     has not tested authorities in relation to 9256
14:57 Anathemizatu  I've tried to edit the configuration files as stated there, to no effect. After that I downgraded to oldstable (which in 3.8.11)

14:59 mtompset      You too, kf.
14:59 magnuse       have fun kf
14:59 Anathemizatu  From a SQL dump that I created before upgrading I've created a new instance, loaded the dump, upgraded the schema (which is like from 3.8.4 to 3.8.11). And when I try to do a zebra rebuild I get the error "16:46:46-05/04 zebraidx(1528) [warn] Couldn't open collection.abs [No such file or directory]"
14:59 Anathemizatu  After that - 16:47:42-05/04 zebraidx(1528) [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-Number)
14:59 magnuse       collection.abs? never heard of that...
15:01 Anathemizatu  Me neither :) Couldn't find the file anywhere on the server (at first I thought it was a faulty symlink or something)
15:01 jcamins       Oooh.
15:01 jcamins       I actually know what that error means.

15:02 jcamins       It's because you're using -x for reindexing, and somewhere there's a misconfiguration so that the GRS-1 indexer isn't parsing the records.
15:02 jcamins       Unfortunately, I don't know what the solution is.
15:03 Anathemizatu  Yep :) I've forgotten to say that I've cahnged the configuration files in koha-conf.xml from DOM to GRS1 because I found that DOM indexing for Unimarc wasn't working
15:04 jcamins       Oh, I bet I know what the problem is.
15:04 Anathemizatu  I was doing it basing on this http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2012-March/032205.html
15:04 jcamins       You have to change DOM to GRS-1 in three places (I don't remember which three). Could you have missed one?
15:05 jcamins       Yes, that's only two of the places.
15:05 jcamins       You also have to set <authority_indexing_thing> (I don't remember what it's called exactly) to grs1 in koha-conf.xml.
15:06 tcohen        tha <config> entry for authorityserver maybe?
15:07 jcamins       There are two lines... you'll spot them.
15:07 jcamins       Near the end.
15:07 tcohen        and the line that contains retrieval-info-auth-something
15:07 jcamins       Right, those are the first two.
15:07 jcamins       Maybe authority_index_mode?
15:08 tcohen        oh
15:08 Anathemizatu  I coudn't find any other references to DOM
15:08 tcohen        jcamins, are zebra_auth_index_mode and zebra_bib_index_mode enough?
15:08 jcamins       That's it.
15:08 jcamins       zebra_auth_index_mode.
15:09 rambutan      @seen kathryn
15:09 huginn        rambutan: kathryn was last seen in #koha 1 day, 19 hours, 21 minutes, and 37 seconds ago: <kathryn> hiya cait
15:09 oleonard      too early for kathryn rambutan
15:10 jcamins       Also, it's Saturday.
15:12 rambutan      It's Saturday! What am I don't here????
15:12 jcamins       lol
15:12 jcamins       I hope he realizes that I meant in NZ.
15:18 magnuse       jcamins: lol :-)
15:20 mtompset      This is rather strange being in #koha offset by 12 hours, and starting to get back into the Koha coding/patching mindset again.
15:21 magnuse       mtompset: yay!
15:21 mtompset      Thanks, magnuse.
15:21 oleonard      mtompset: Did you get some funding, or could you just not stay away?
15:22 mtompset      A mix of both.
15:22 magnuse       hehe
15:22 * magnuse     can't stay away either :-)
15:22 mtompset      The big problem is I'm still fiscally short.
15:23 mtompset      My hope is to raise more financial partners, so that I can continue.
15:25 mtompset      I succeeded at getting SimpleSAMLPHP set up from source AND packages to authenticate against an LDAP source.
15:26 mtompset      Now the next big logical step: integrate that SAML 2.0 authentication with Koha somehow. Didn't someone mention BibLibre and shibboleth before?
15:26 * magnuse     calls it a day, but will be upgrading customers tomorrow (3.8.11 -> 3.10.4)
15:27 tcohen        paul_p: you got the words for what I was trying to say here
15:27 paul_p        tcohen  ?
15:27 wahanui       i heard tcohen was 120
15:27 jcamins       And there goes any possible value of this discussion.
15:28 mtompset      mtompset?
15:28 wahanui       you are probably disliking the silent warnings flooding his error logs.
15:28 jcamins       He's pulled out the "I want you to support each version of Koha for three years for free" card.
15:29 tcohen        heh, it was the other paul
15:29 jcamins       Yup.
15:29 tcohen        is he around on IRC?
15:29 jcamins       No.
15:29 mtompset      support each version of Koha for 3 years?! Are you crazy? Libraries and dependencies and OS's change too fast to do that.
15:29 tcohen        so i can say "the bad paul"
15:29 jcamins       Yes.
15:30 mtompset      The one that makes my country look bad. :P
15:30 jcamins       You know, 3.12 is a lot nicer than 3.10.
15:30 jcamins       And I'm not saying that just because I am RM.
15:30 tcohen        LTS would be great, but people paying that maintenance work is needed
15:30 jcamins       So many little improvements that just make life better.
15:31 paul_p        just for the record : we've decided to upgrade all our customers with a 100% community version once every year. Previously, we waited for a request (and we have a few libraries still using 3.0.x, a VLTS version ;-) )
15:32 mtompset      Ooo... is VLTS the company that shall not be named?
15:32 jcamins       No, Very Long Term Support.
15:32 tcohen        we are starting the testing stage for 3.8 > 3.12
15:32 jcamins       You're thinking of VTLS, Virginia Tech Library Systems.
15:32 tcohen        (once it is released and stuff fixed of course heh)

15:41 chris_n       question for all you catalogers: where/how do you catalog multiple graduate theses in a single binding in dewey/loc/foobar?
15:41 oleonard      jcamins: I would be afraid he would take you up on it
15:41 gaetan_B      bye !
15:42 jcamins       oleonard: I would see that as a major win.
15:43 jcamins       A maintainer for 3.6 would be excellent.
15:43 chris_n       send it on
15:45 jcamins       Right, you guys totally failed at persuading me not to send it.
15:45 jcamins       chris_n: I would have a different record for each thesis, and use easy analytics to attach them to the same item.
15:46 jcamins       (different bib record)
15:47 tcohen        jcamins, the email is fine, he won't do it of course
15:47 jcamins       Of course.
15:49 jcamins       I really want to sign my name "Jared Camins-Esakov, Release Manager for 3.12 and former Release Maintainer for 3.6," but I'm resisting the urge.
15:49 jcamins       Barely.
15:51 tcohen        jcamins, a fresh 3.11.x install from squeeze-dev, isnt installing /etc/mysql/koha-common.conf
15:51 jcamins       tcohen: did you forget to install MySQL? :P
15:51 tcohen        do I need it if am using --request-db ?
15:52 jcamins       No, but /etc/mysql/koha-common.conf can only be automatically generated if you're using a local database.
15:52 jcamins       Otherwise you need to write it yourself.
15:53 tcohen        so making packages use an external mysql is a pain
15:54 jcamins       Not that bad.
15:54 jcamins       You just need to point it at the external database.
15:55 tcohen        but it needs to have root access to the external db, right?
15:55 jcamins       No.
15:56 tcohen        my scenario is a DBA has created 38 mysql dbs in a mysql replicated big server
15:56 jcamins       It needs to have administrative access if it is going to create the database, of course.
15:56 tcohen        i need to batch create all instances, pointing them to the newly created ones, which will be filled with our 3.8.x dumps
15:57 tcohen        so i can make librarians test 3.12 and redo the upgrade each time
15:57 jcamins       Right. You can use /etc/mysql/koha-common.conf to point to the external server, and /etc/koha/passwd to set the user/password.
16:00 tcohen        by koha-common.conf you mean editing the [client] section?
16:00 jcamins       Yeah, I think that's what it uses.
16:00 jcamins       koha-common.cnf, rather
16:01 jcamins       Yup. [client]
16:01 tcohen        work on error handling will be needed for packages
16:02 Anathemizatu  Thank you, jcamins, for your advice. I've added "<zebra_auth_index_mode>grs1</zebra_auth_index_mode>" to the koha-conf.xml, as is written here http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Switching_to_dom_indexing. But now I'm getting the error "Can't call method "data" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm line 335."
16:02 jcamins       Hm.
16:02 jcamins       Anathemizatu: unfortunately, I'm out of ideas.
16:02 jcamins       As I said, as far as I'm concerned, bug 3087 broke all non-MARC21 installas irretrievably.
16:02 huginn        04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3087 enhancement, P3, ---, frederic, Pushed to Master , Z39.50 server returns usmarc format records for UNIMARC DB
16:03 jcamins       *installs
16:05 Anathemizatu  I've already done a sed -i 's/usmarc/unimarc/g' koha-conf.xml . Didn't help. Or should I rebuild zebra after that?
16:05 tcohen        restart zebra after that
16:06 jcamins       You'll have to restart and rebuild zebra after every single thing you try.
16:06 * mtompset    grumbles about the fragility of zebra in this regard.
16:06 jcamins       mtompset: actually, the problem isn't Zebra.
16:07 jcamins       The problem is that we took poorly-written configuration files and made them much worse.
16:10 mtompset      Okay, that may be true. But the zebra implementation used in Koha is fragile, because of it.
16:11 jcamins       Yes.
16:17 paul_p        jcamins & Anathemizatu about 3087, you don't need to reindex, just restart zebra (guaranteed, I made it dozen of times for our libraries)
16:17 paul_p        (but I agree it's an unusual case, and usually, you must reindex)

16:55 chris_n       lol
16:55 jcamins       Curried coconut oatmeal chocolate chip is current forerunner.
16:55 chris_n       I'll find it hard to disagree with whatever you choose
16:55 chris_n       however...
16:56 chris_n       you should be required to submit a sample batch for testing first
16:56 jcamins       lol
16:56 cait          and qa!!
16:56 chris_n       hehe
16:56 cait          which has to be done by the qam in that special case of course
16:56 jcamins       lol

16:59 cait          jcamins: shouldn#t the coookie start with a?
16:59 jcamins       cait: why?
16:59 cait          well... curried... we could name 3.8 and 3.10 too
17:00 cait          because alphabetic naming would be very... libarian-ish?
17:00 jcamins       Hehe.
17:00 jcamins       I was thinking C because the RM's last name starts with a C.
17:00 jcamins       :P
17:01 cait          lol
17:01 cait          so if I ever get to be rm it has to start with fish....
17:01 cait          ?
17:01 cait          hopefully not :)
17:02 jcamins       No, just an F.
17:02 cait          i was trying to make a joke about fish  and cookies...
17:02 cait          it's friday, be nice
17:02 jcamins       :)
17:53 * magnuse     finds it very, very strange to be making pizza while the sun is shining again

17:55 cait          again?
17:55 cait          you got sun?
17:55 cait          not fair.
17:55 cait          ;)
17:55 magnuse       yeah, lots and lots of sun today
17:56 cait          we got none
17:56 cait          only grey ligth
17:56 * magnuse     commiserates
17:56 druthb        sunshine here.  and…uhm.  warm.
17:56 cait          but you got the baby... the baby needs sun :)

18:34 cait          gmcharlt++
18:34 jcamins       I was attempting to say now is a silly time to discuss it because the next version is going to be 3.12 no matter what decision is or isn't reached.
18:35 * cait        agrees to stick to that and not discuss it
18:35 cait          we discussed it over and over
18:35 cait          I think changing it would be more confusing than anything else
18:35 gmcharlt      jcamins: yeah, I think paul_p was talking about 3.12.next, not 3.12
18:35 drojf         pff. we need a relese versioning manager and a team for it. and release name quality assurance. and release name testers. and signoffers. and release name translators

18:39 rangi         http://australianfood.about.com/od/bakingdesserts/r/AfghanBiscuits.htm
18:39 drojf         black afghan cookie is a thing :D
18:39 rangi         it is
18:39 rangi         all nz kids learn how to make them
18:39 rangi         they are super easy to make
18:39 jcamins       Maybe I should try them.
18:40 cait          they have chocolate
18:40 cait          and nuts
18:40 cait          ... they look like they could be considered
18:40 rangi         and cornflakes :)
18:40 jcamins       Of course, it requires two types of sugar and one type of cereal that I don't keep in the house.
18:41 rangi         the icing sugar is just for the icing, and you can just use regular sugar not castor
18:41 rangi         you just have to cream it a bit more
18:42 * cait        suggests rangi submits a couple of those to the qam for qa...

18:42 rangi         oh hey
18:43 rangi         at linuxconf
18:43 drojf         thanks to afghan cookies i learned that there is a website that sells "fact sheets" on "how to buy hash online". yay internet
18:43 rangi         one night a bunch of people took over their hotel kitchen
18:43 rangi         and cooked a big shared meal
18:44 rangi         i wonder if we could try to do someting like that at kohacon
18:44 cait          that would be fun :)
18:44 jcamins       That might be fun.
18:45 rangi         it was easier here, cos it was a hostel type hotel thingy anyway
18:45 rangi         so there was a communal kitchen space
18:45 rangi         i dont think the hotel in reno would actually let us use there kitchen
18:45 jcamins       Yeah, I'm not so sure it would be doable, but I do think it might be fun.

18:45 rangi         even
18:45 * druthb      would make her evil peanut brittle!
18:46 bag           cheese and crackers and hummas extra :)
18:46 cait          lemon cake :)
18:46 bag           or something were you could make food without having to cook
18:46 druthb        Hi, bag!
18:46 cait          or fennel salad hehe
18:46 bag           hey Ruth
18:46 druthb        fennel_salad++
18:47 rangi         bag: oh good idea, people could bring something each
18:47 rangi         i know the US has way way way less strict rules about bringing in food than nz
18:47 rangi         so i could bring afghan cookies with me :)
18:47 rangi         or anzac biscuits
18:48 jcamins       rangi: as long as it's cooked, they don't care at all.
18:48 Dyrcona       Oh! Anzac biscuits and NZ marmite!
18:48 rangi         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_biscuit
18:48 rangi         hehe
18:48 jcamins       Dyrcona: no marmite. There's a crisis, man!
18:48 jcamins       They had to impose rationing!
18:48 Dyrcona       But... no marmite means no beer!
18:48 druthb        Dyrcona:  no marmite.  'cuz it's *nasty*
18:48 * Dyrcona     sobs....
18:48 druthb        Tar in a jar.
18:49 rangi         i think they are finally making it again
18:49 cait          but now you can't buy because the company is evil or something?
18:49 * cait        has seen a blog post somewhere
18:49 cait          they only ship to the big chains it said
18:49 rangi         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO4H8vt8QRU
18:49 rangi         yeah, they dont pay taxes
18:49 rangi         and only ship to the big chains
18:49 * Dyrcona     saw some discussion in the Google+ New Zealand group that the new marmite tastes different from the old.
18:49 rangi         sanitarium arent the nicest company
18:50 druthb        yeah, someone here in the US discovered it's good for paving roads, and cheaper than oil, so....
18:50 drojf         lol
18:50 rangi         however kraft who make vegemite
18:50 rangi         are philip morris
18:50 rangi         so they suck too
18:50 Dyrcona       druthb: So, that's what they're doing in Arkansas?
18:50 druthb        Given the quality of the roads in Arkansas, I would not be at all surprised.
18:50 Dyrcona       rangi: So, make your own.... ;)
18:51 rangi         yep :)
18:51 * Dyrcona     was referring to the oil pipeline spill that is being ignored by mainstream media....
18:51 * jcamins     is not a big fan of marmite.
18:51 jcamins       Or vegemite.
18:51 rangi         or get the english marmite which tastes slightly different again
18:51 * Dyrcona     has actually never had either.
18:51 druthb        oh, I know, Dyrcona.  It's been touched on some here.  Nasty mess, that.
18:52 drojf         1+ for termite. deep fried and crunchy
18:52 * Dyrcona     is bored. Waiting on SQL scripts to finish running.
18:52 jcamins       A friend sent me a link to a cicada cookbook.
18:52 jcamins       Apparently they're expecting up to 1 billion cicadas per square mile in New York City.
18:53 drojf         woah
18:53 drojf         just walk along with your mouth open :D
18:53 jcamins       lol
18:53 Dyrcona       yep. biking keeps one's belly filled.
18:54 jcamins       Actually, I'd think about trying it, if I could think of a way to catch clean ones.
18:54 cait          ... you know how you recognize the nice bikers?
18:54 jcamins       Since I live in New York City, that doesn't seem possible.
18:55 Dyrcona       jcamins: These the 17-year cicadas?
18:55 jcamins       Dyrcona: yep.
18:55 Dyrcona       jcamins: We mostly have annual cicadas 'round here.
18:55 rangi         cait: how?
18:56 jcamins       But I refuse to pay for them.
18:56 jcamins       Unless, I guess, they're less than $2/lb.
18:56 * druthb      waits for it, knowing the answer to cait's question.
18:56 jcamins       Dyrcona: my grandparents have annual cicadas around where they live.
18:57 jcamins       Or used to.
18:57 jcamins       Actually, I can't remember hearing them in recent years.
18:57 druthb        she's mean, leaving rangi hanging like that.
18:57 Dyrcona       Yeah...used to.....
18:57 Dyrcona       We still have them here.
18:57 cait          bad german joke :)
18:58 jcamins       Dyrcona: so... dinner?
18:58 druthb        oh, it's a bad American joke, too.
18:58 cait          you recognize them becuse they have flies between their teeth (from smiling)
18:58 druthb        "From the bugs in their teeth," yes.  :P
18:58 cait          heh
18:58 cait          bad jokes everywhere :)
18:58 jcamins       Heh.
18:58 jcamins       Very nice.
18:58 jcamins       Shari would never try a cicada, I fear.
18:59 * druthb      agrees with jcamind
18:59 druthb        jcamins, even
18:59 jcamins       Bah.
18:59 druthb        I fear she'd flip her lid.
18:59 jcamins       Cicadas aren't kosher.
18:59 Dyrcona       jcamins: Because of the shell?
18:59 jcamins       Because it flies instead of jumping.
18:59 Dyrcona       Strange rules.....
19:00 jcamins       But locust are.
19:00 jcamins       I always thought locust flew in great black clouds.
19:00 Dyrcona       Ah, but they can also jump....
19:00 druthb        Ya watched that Charlton Heston movie too much, jcamins.
19:01 Dyrcona       So, guess that's an exception.
19:01 jcamins       druthb: hehe.
19:01 Dyrcona       ;)
19:01 jcamins       druthb: actually, it was Little House on the Prairie.
19:02 druthb        Mankind has managed to either drive to extinction, or domesticate, practically every animal worth eating.  Insects are the second-most-populous lifeform on Earth, and are not domesticated, by and large. These two facts *may* be related.    Ick ick ick.
19:02 jcamins       lol
19:03 jcamins       So... you're saying you'd like a package of these for Christmas: http://www.amazon.com/Hotlix-Candy-Chocolate-Dipped-Insects-6/dp/B0064KI3B8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1365188386&sr=8-2&keywords=chocolate+covered+grasshoppers ?
19:03 druthb        hm.
19:04 druthb        Let me think.....
19:04 druthb        no.
19:04 druthb        Do it, and see what happens, little man.  *ebil eye*
19:04 jeff          jcamins: i have received conference booth swag consisting of an insect in a sucker. branded with some "we lick bugs" slogan or something.
19:04 jcamins       jeff: nice!
19:05 druthb        They sell those around here.  Tequila worms, in a liquor-flavored lollypop.
19:05 jeff          jcamins: of course, i'm pretty sure this was comdex 2000 or linux business expo or something. i hope that i threw it out in a timely fashion.
19:06 tcohen        bye #koha
19:07 jcamins       Locust are very high in protein.
19:07 Dyrcona       As are most insects and larvae.
19:07 jcamins       http://www.planetscott.com/babes/nutrition.asp
19:07 jcamins       The More You Know!
19:07 druthb        So are beans.  And steak.  And chicken.  And none of those have the crunchy shell thing going on.
19:08 cait          or so many legs
19:08 Dyrcona       heh
19:08 jcamins       Be sure to remove the fangs when eating "very large spiders."
19:09 druthb        cait++
19:09 Dyrcona       jcamins: In Australia, the spiders eat you. ;)
19:09 druthb        !
19:09 cait          druthb: nz is safe
19:11 druthb        The closest thing to an insect I'll eat is certain crustaceans, and only if someone else does the cleanin', and removin' all the legs.
19:11 jcamins       And apparently a natural habitat for delicious locust! :P
19:12 Dyrcona       I love this quote from that site: We strongly hope that our definition will prove helpful in your selection of ingredients.
19:12 cait          druthb: I am with you on that
19:13 jcamins       Dyrcona: heh.
19:14 Dyrcona       From Wikipedia: Many New Zealand cicada species differ from those of other countries by being found high up on mountain tops.
19:15 drojf         very large spiders? nonononono
19:15 drojf         crunchy locust, why not. but spiders, never
19:16 jcamins       drojf: actually, I feel the same way.
19:17 chris_n       "scorpions (cut off the stinger)"
19:18 drojf         the stinger is the best part :D
19:18 * chris_n     feels sorry for the poor fool who does not
19:18 drojf         lol
19:27 drojf         so, what insects are typical for reno? ;)
19:28 jcamins       Scorpions, I think.
19:28 cait          ew
19:29 jcamins       I know they're in other parts of Nevada, anyway.
19:29 drojf         search throws »adult ladybugs«… not sure if insect or porn site. afraid to open :D
19:30 jcamins       There are lots of ladybugs in New Jersey. I don't think they're particularly edible.
19:30 cait          lol
19:31 drojf         »phidippus_mystaceus_3_tile_hex2   My favorite jumping spider, now with improved hexagonal transformation!« with pictures. yikes
19:31 * cait        won't look
19:31 jcamins       lol
19:39 chris_n       drojf: black widows too
19:39 chris_n       not as edible I think
19:40 jcamins       chris_n: probably not.
19:43 drojf         cait couldn't take it anymore
19:43 druthb        :P
19:44 gmcharlt      the 3.12.x branch is now a thing
19:45 jcamins       Hooray!
19:45 drojf         3.12.x? don't you mean »koha spidercrunch«?
19:46 * jcamins     is trying to be serious here!
19:48 * druthb      isn't.
19:54 * cait        waves
19:54 druthb        welcome back, cait!
19:54 cait          now I missd the branching
19:54 cait          was there a party?
19:54 druthb        an amazing party
19:54 jcamins       cait: yes, we served chocolate covered locust!
19:54 druthb        you missed it.
19:54 cait          oh noes!
19:54 cait          lol
19:55 * druthb      wields pointy stick, takes aim at jcamins
19:55 * mtompset    chuckles at jcamins' remark. "It's relatively true."
20:01 drojf         loculateâ„¢
20:11 jcamins       You know what I would find more useful than the modal we are currently using for previews on Z39.50 imports?
20:11 jcamins       An expander thingy so that I can look at more than one record.
20:12 cait          diff view? :)
20:12 jcamins       That'd be even cooler.
20:12 jcamins       But I had in mind just a...
20:13 * jcamins     checks what it's called
20:13 jcamins       Bootstrap calls it a "collapse."
20:58 cait          night all :)
21:47 wizzyrea      where is Samuel from?
21:48 wizzyrea      anybody? Anybody?
21:50 rangi         france somewhere

22:12 mtj           but… i think for koha, there have been less of this behaviour of late
22:12 rangi         except for release numbers yes
22:12 rangi         i mean that thread now has 20 mails
22:13 bag           I was going to comment just to comment
22:13 bag           I'm taking the over at 25 :P

22:13 bag           whoops bet not beat
22:13 rangi         wizzyrea: nope, entirely the point, something unimportant that comes up every so often to distract from actual stuff :)
22:14 wizzyrea      http://koha-community.org/release-team-koha-3-14-code-pi-elected/ >.>
22:14 bag           but that's eveil :P  it could be at 25 and I could write some dumb comment and win :)
22:14 mtj           i feel ashamed for participating in the thread, last time round...
22:14 bag           ok so my comments don't count
22:14 * wizzyrea    has been doing important things.
22:14 rangi         i like gmcharlt idea, pick some scheme and never talk about it again
22:14 rangi         :)
22:14 rangi         wizzyrea++
22:15 bag           that's a really nice and big team
22:15 bag           biggest so far :)
22:15 wizzyrea      I vote we send pie to the RM from all over the world on a successful release. :)
22:15 mtj           from memory, i suggested we use vegetable names for koha releases, (and some other stuff too)
22:15 bag           good call
22:15 * wizzyrea    wonders how to get a steak and cheese to gmcharlt from here...
22:15 gmcharlt      wizzyrea: I can get behind that pie proposal :)
22:15 bag           or we coudl shaving cream pie him at the conference
22:15 wizzyrea      hehehe
22:16 wizzyrea      !
22:16 wizzyrea      no.
22:16 bag           heh :P
22:16 mtj           rangi, i like gmcharlt's idea too
22:16 gmcharlt      bag: if you're going to pie me, at least make it edible! ;)
22:16 bag           whipped cream pie!
22:17 bag           only former RM's can do that - I guess
22:17 wizzyrea      hm no, I think RM humiliation is right out.
22:17 bag           so umm gmcharlt you can whipped cream pie yourself (sounds odd)
22:18 wizzyrea      can we just leave off pies in the face altogether? :P
22:18 gmcharlt      wizzyrea++ # ;)
22:18 bag           but it's fun :(
22:19 wizzyrea      for whom? :P
22:20 bag           the pie
22:20 * wizzyrea    gets out the mom voice
22:20 wizzyrea      we will have no hazing of RM's
22:20 wizzyrea      they get enough punishment as it is.
22:21 wizzyrea      </mom>
22:25 gmcharlt      @quote add <wizzyrea> we will have no hazing of RM's
22:25 huginn        gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.  Quote #240 added.
22:32 quocuy        Hello #koha
22:40 wizzyrea      hey quocuy - question, where are you from?
22:41 quocuy        ýe
22:41 wizzyrea      it's for the release team post on the KC website
22:41 quocuy        yes, i come from Vietnam
22:41 jcamins       I hear the current RM accepts cookies, cakes, *and* pies. In case you wondered.
22:41 quocuy        i often login here :)
22:41 wizzyrea      we did wonder, actually
22:42 wizzyrea      are you affiliated with a library
22:42 wizzyrea      ?
22:42 quocuy        ok, i tried to print library card with Koha
22:42 wizzyrea      quocuy:
22:42 quocuy        problem is that, i can't print name in unicode
22:42 wizzyrea      hm yes this is probably a limitation of the PDF output possibly?
22:43 quocuy        searched, asked in mailling list, Christ told me, no resolution has not yet
22:43 quocuy        yes
22:44 quocuy        i'm not affiliated with a library, what i am trying to do is make Koha become popular in my country
22:45 quocuy        because this's perfect opensource
22:45 quocuy        hello jcamins
22:49 wizzyrea      quocuy: cool :)
22:52 quocuy        thanks
22:52 quocuy        so there is not solution for this?
