@later tell tsbere Building an array from the Fieldmapper's properties method doesn't work because properties isn't guaranteed to return the field names in the proper order, so you have to create a new, empty object and fill in the field from the hash. |

Dyrcona: I know that we discussed that briefly at the hackaway. I'd like to see some more discussion either here or on-list. I don't know that I remember all of the original reasons for the approach we've been using. |
11:05 |
Dyrcona |
I suggest you jump into #git here on freenode and say "We use cherry-picks. Why is that bad?" |
11:05 |
* jeff |
grins |
11:06 |
Dyrcona |
You are basically rewriting history. You can't back out a series of commits easily if there is a problem. |
11:06 |
Dyrcona |
You can't tell if a single commit exists in multiple branches because every time you signoff and cherry-pick the hash changes. |
11:07 |
Dyrcona |
The best practice according to all the documentation and consensus in #git is use merges. If you want to signoff, then sign off the merge commit. |
11:09 |
gmcharlt |
we do want a signal that the seris has been merged |
11:10 |
gmcharlt |
so signn-offs (or perhaps Reviewed-By:) for the merge commits |
11:10 |
gmcharlt |
and sign-offs on the individual patches when submitted to signify the DCO? |
11:10 |
Dyrcona |
gmcharlt: My suggestion is the original author signs off each commit in their branch. |
11:10 |
jeff |
single sign-off on individual commits (typically by the Author) indicates DCO, as I understand it. |
11:11 |
Dyrcona |
then a reviewer/committer signs off the merge commit. |
11:11 |
gmcharlt |
I do have a reservation in that if we start using merges commits more, we should encourage folks to squash stream-of-conciousness patch series into a more sensible state before a branch gets merged |
11:11 |
Dyrcona |
gmcharlt: Isn't that more or less what koha does? |
11:12 |
Dyrcona |
I agree with squashing stream-of-consciousness commits. I've been doing that in my own branches before sharing lately. |
11:12 |
gmcharlt |
not really -- our workflow in Koha-land is heavily based on the integration of patches with Bugzilla |
11:12 |
gmcharlt |
essentially, patches get reviewed as attaches in BZ with the aid of git-bz |
11:12 |
gmcharlt |
once a serious has reached a stable state, they get (in effect) cherry-picked into master |
11:13 |
gmcharlt |
then cherry-picked into the release branches for the maintenance versions, as decided by the RMaints |
11:13 |
gmcharlt |
*occassionally* I'll create and merge topic branches |
11:13 |
Dyrcona |
I see, so it is similar to our workflow. |
11:13 |
gmcharlt |
but I tend to do that only if I have reason to think that a patch series has more than the usual risk of having to get reverted |
11:14 |
gmcharlt |
yeah, similar, just with (IMO) slightly better tool support |
11:14 |
Dyrcona |
I got a slightly different impression in the #koha channel a few weeks ago, but maybe the people in the conversation didn't understand each other. |
11:15 |
gmcharlt |
well, jcamins tended to create a topic branch for every single bug, no matter how small -- overkill IMO, but that's also definitely a case where tastes very |
11:16 |
gmcharlt |
a happier medium for the RMaints would indeed be more use of topic branches, perhaps, but I am hesitant to risk breaking the patch review process that's heavily dependent on the git-bz workflow |
11:17 |
Dyrcona |
Well, I'm just throwing out ideas of something that might work better for us in Evergreen-land. |
11:17 |
Dyrcona |
And it might not, too. |
11:18 |
gmcharlt |
our use of the working repos does lend itself to a merge commit being the default merge-to-master action |
11:18 |
gmcharlt |
s/being/becoming/ |
11:19 |
gmcharlt |
but as I've implied, if we do that, my preference would be for the branches to be cliean and recently rebased before they get merged |
11:19 |
senator |
i've long had a vague sense that merges were more "correct" and i know they'd make git branch --contains smarter |
11:21 |
senator |
i could also go for that preference. even as a soft requirement. more than trivial conflict resolution, no merge branch is rebased and clean |
11:21 |
senator |
s/no merge branch/no merge until the branch/ |
11:21 |
Dyrcona |
I can agree with that preference as well. |

13:06 |

I'll chat about it some more then and we can mull over it. |
13:07 |
bshum |
Well, the wordpress conversion happened |
13:07 |
kmlussier |
bshum++ for the conversion to Wordpress! |
13:07 |
bshum |
We're still cleaning things up and arranging things. But kudos to everyone who's helped step into it already. |
13:07 |

And thanks to those who helped notice tiny corners we had missed. |

#info Wordpress conversion is done. |
13:08 |
kmlussier |
#info bshum and others are doing cleanup. |
13:08 |
bshum |
Well I think the big things for me is redesigning the "get involved" stuff so that it's not just a leftover from the old "communicate" page |
13:08 |
bshum |
And dealing with the downloads page |
13:09 |
bshum |
phasefx helped forward me a request to add back a "search" button to the website that looks up all the various page contents. So that's something too. |
13:09 |
kmlussier |
On the "get involved'" section, I was thinking it would be good to link to the committees page, since that's a great way to get involved. But should it be converted to a WordPress page first? |
13:09 |
RoganH |
I think it should be, yes. |
13:09 |
RoganH |
And reflect different ways for people to get involved rather than channels. |
13:09 |
RoganH |
That means that some channels will be duplicated but that's OK. |
13:10 |
bshum |
kmlussier: I would agree with that. Getting us off the wiki pages and into Wordpress would be the most ideal. |
13:10 |
kmlussier |
I can take that as an action item. That is, converting the committees page to a WordPress page |
13:11 |
kmlussier |
#action kmlussier to convert committes page to a WordPress page so that it can be included in the "get involved" section. |

#topic Evergreen downloads page |
13:13 |
kmlussier |
This was an action item I took on at a previous meeting with hbrennan, but then neglected to follow up on. :( |
13:13 |
kmlussier |
bshum: Do you want to talk about this? |
13:13 |
bshum |
Sure, so |
13:14 |
bshum |
For the downloads page, there'd been some talk about reorganizing the content there. Specifically, I think we're thinking to move away from the weird table structure we'd been using up till now. |
13:14 |
bshum |
By that I mean having three columns (from left to right, new to old versions) |
13:14 |
kmlussier |
#link http://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads/ |
13:14 |
bshum |
And changing that to be more accessible and/or relevant. |
13:15 |
RoganH |
Are you talking about moving each version to it's own table, maybe newest at the top so they're less crowded together? |
13:16 |
bshum |
RoganH: Well that's certainly an approach we could use |
13:16 |
bshum |
I think the open question has been what's the best way of presenting the information in a meaningful way to end users. |
13:16 |
bshum |
(and also cleaning up old links along the way, like the Mac stuff and Linux stuff, which are severely outdated) |
13:17 |
RoganH |
I think we can get cleaner but better is going to be very subjective. I've already betrayed my preference to move each version to it's own table. |
13:17 |
kmlussier |
I think the structure RoganH suggests might be good. |
13:17 |
RoganH |
I think it would be easier for people quickly trying to find what they're looking for. |
13:17 |
kmlussier |
What I also think would be helpful is some color coding for the releases. Maybe green for stable releases. |
13:18 |
graced |
#info graced is Grace Dunbar, Equinox |
13:18 |
RoganH |
Red for beta or release candidates? |
13:18 |
kmlussier |
graced: We already volunteered you for everything. :) |
13:18 |
graced |
excellent! |
13:18 |
RoganH |
graced: really, the Parsi translations were a step above and beyond on your part. |
13:19 |
kmlussier |
RoganH: Yeah, I was thinking red or maybe yellow for use with caution. |
13:19 |
graced |
well, I like to be thorough... |
13:19 |
RoganH |
yellow might be too faint I tink |
13:19 |
* kmlussier |
nods. |
13:19 |
RoganH |
think. <--- engrish good |
13:19 |
bshum |
kmlussier: RoganH: To be honest, I've never been a fan of color coding the releases too much. |
13:19 |
bshum |
But that's just been my personal opinion. |
13:19 |
bshum |
Happy to continue trying it. |
13:19 |
gmcharlt |
color coding isn't accessible by itself |
13:19 |
RoganH |
I have no strong feelings there, just bouncing of kathy's thought. |
13:19 |
gmcharlt |
it can be used, but should be supplemented by text |
13:19 |
graced |
Good point |
13:19 |
bshum |
We used to use green for stable, red for unstable, yellow for RC, I think. |
13:20 |
kmlussier |
Well, no, I wouldn't be used on its own. Definitely supplemented by text. |
13:20 |
RoganH |
gmcharlt: I'm thinking more of the casual low vision user who needs strong contrast. |
13:20 |
bshum |
And gray for deprecated. Though in a recent conversation with gmcharlt, I think we shouldn't advertise old versions on the main downloads pages. |
13:20 |
RoganH |
I agree with gmcharlt on that. |
13:20 |
gmcharlt |
RoganH: yep, but there's colorblind users to consider as well |
13:21 |
gmcharlt |
and while I'm spitballing -- I think the relevant OpenSRF installation instructions should be linked directly from the EG downloads page |
13:21 |
RoganH |
gmcharlt: I agree. And Red might be a bad choice for that reason, green too. |
13:21 |
bshum |
+1 to gmcharlt's suggestion to put the OpenSRF stuff up front. |
13:21 |
RoganH |
+1 |
13:21 |
graced |
+1 |
13:22 |
RoganH |
What we could do is do everything in black for all users and then put red or green blinking signs for those who aren't colorblind for "stable" and "test" |
13:22 |
RoganH |
Then we will wish we couldn't see them. |
13:23 |
* graced |
thinks Rogan misses Geocities |
13:23 |
kmlussier |
bshum: So what do you need from us? Direction on layout for the page or would you like somebody to dive in to try reformatting the page? |
13:23 |
* gmcharlt |
is glad that Mozilla has removed the blink tag, suddenly |
13:23 |
RoganH |
Can I propose we try a stable arrangement separating out the versions and putting the opensrf content in? |
13:23 |
* kmlussier |
is ignoring RoganH's suggestion. |
13:23 |
graced |
Would mockups be helpful? |
13:24 |
bshum |
kmlussier: Any outside assistance would be welcome as for both direction on layout and help diving in. |
13:24 |
kmlussier |
graced: Are you volunteering to do mockups? |
13:24 |
graced |
I am, I am also volunteering to give others access to our mockup software if they want |
13:24 |
bshum |
If someone has a strong urge to help change it, I expect that'll just help get it done faster :) |
13:24 |
bshum |
*faster than waiting for me to do it |
13:25 |
graced |
bshum: I think you're doing a bang-up job considering the salary... |
13:26 |
RoganH |
Ben has done a spectacular job. |
13:26 |
kmlussier |
I want to move on to the next topic, so why don't we take graced up on her offer to do mockups. I'm familiar with the mock-up software, so I'm willing to pitch in as time allows. |
13:26 |
StephenGWills |
Ben++ |
13:26 |
RoganH |
So, action item, graced will do mockups? |
13:26 |
kmlussier |
#action graced to do mockups for downloads page. |
13:27 |
bshum |
Sounds good to start with mockups and then move from there as it develops. |
13:27 |
kmlussier |
graced: And if you're able to do them before the next meeting, don't hesitate to share them on the list. We can give feedback via e-mail as well. |
13:27 |
kmlussier |
Anything else on the downloads page? |
13:27 |

13:28 |
RoganH |
but he found a bug with the besting where it doesn't see the css added in the header |
13:28 |
graced |
csharp++ |
13:28 |
RoganH |
so if we make css changes that way (rather than changing the underlying css files) we will need to test manually so to speak |
13:28 |
gmcharlt |
csharp: my eyes! |
13:29 |
RoganH |
this is so that updates don't break changes we make |
13:29 |

#topic Merchandising page |
13:30 |
kmlussier |
RoganH again. |
13:30 |
RoganH |
very quick again - I added a section for links on the top banner |
13:31 |
RoganH |
Right now it only has Evergreen in Action. |
13:31 |
RoganH |
It will in the future have links to our Amazon and Zazzle content assuming that all survives it's own process. |
13:31 |
kmlussier |
RoganH++ |
13:31 |
RoganH |
I wanted to give folks time to voice any questions or concerns. |
13:31 |
kmlussier |
I hadn't noticed the new menu item. |
13:31 |
RoganH |
It's been there about a week. :) |
13:32 |
bshum |
I saw it. I should mention a quirk with the theme is that the actual listed top level doesn't link properly |
13:32 |
RoganH |
I added it Friday while waiting for my plane last week (6 days). |
13:32 |
kmlussier |
#info RoganH added merchandising to the top-level links of the Evergreen web site. |
13:32 |
bshum |
So I've cheated by making a sub link go to the landing pages occasionally |
13:32 |
bshum |
Like the "Overview" does for the "About Us" pointing back to the main page |
13:32 |
RoganH |
I saw that but quickly found those workarounds too. |
13:33 |
bshum |
But yes, RoganH++ |
13:33 |
kmlussier |
Does anyone have any concerns about the new link. |
13:33 |
kmlussier |
I like it and am excited to see the new stuff that will be posted there. :) |
13:33 |
RoganH |
We will talk about that more at the next meeting. |
13:34 |
kmlussier |
#topic Discussion of roles / sections looking at papers for inspiration |
13:34 |
RoganH |
OK. I emailed out the link to a google doc for collaboration because I suspect not everyone has WIKI accounts. |
13:34 |
RoganH |
And I've reposted it on the agenda. |
13:34 |
kmlussier |
#link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GJXaUJU4M_olIDH1KHLXCe9bNJIU0PzL8J5gVeXrDM4/edit?usp=sharing |
13:35 |
RoganH |
We've had this talk for a while about should the web team be kind of anarchist where each person raises their hand to do as they like or should there be defined roles. |
13:35 |
RoganH |
I'm a bit anarchist at heart but in the interest of exploring the other path I looked at how papers organize. |
13:35 |
RoganH |
Newspapers have similar needs - they have regular sections, news, highlights, support communities, etc... |
13:36 |
RoganH |
So that document is based off that. And to be fair we have sections of the site and wiki that probably have been neglected by the 'do as thou will' approach. |
13:37 |
RoganH |
And maybe we want the WIKI to be a more hands off thing from the web site and be more wild west. |
13:37 |
RoganH |
I'm more comfortable now with that, now that the site and WIKI aren't so easy to confuse with each other. |
13:38 |
RoganH |
I will put some more comments into the header of that document for context and put it on the agenda for the next meeting again. |
13:38 |
RoganH |
And hopefully we can discuss it on list inbetween. |
13:38 |
kmlussier |
My only comment with the document is that there are a lot of roles there. I know we had an issue with DIG for a while where we had more roles than volunteers to fill them. I'm concerned that might happen here too. |
13:38 |
RoganH |
I think that's a very valid concern. |
13:39 |
kmlussier |
Perhaps merging the managing editor with editor in chief might be a good place to start. |
13:39 |
gmcharlt |
+1 # had exactly the same thought |
13:39 |
kmlussier |
Oh, but you did mention that a bit in the document. |
13:39 |
RoganH |
I did. |
13:39 |
kbutler |
I think it's a good idea to have a range of smaller and larger roles for people with varying amounts of time. |
13:40 |
RoganH |
Part depends on scope. I also think about the web team's role in relationship to the wiki is critical because it changes the scope of duties quite a bit. |
13:40 |
kbutler |
If someone has a lot of time they can combine some smaller roles or just do a bigger one. |
13:40 |
RoganH |
And it impacts number of roles |
13:41 |
RoganH |
Frankly, if the wiki is part of the web team's duties is quite a bit more complicated though at the same time it would be good to have at least one or two roles associated with flagging out of date content. |
13:41 |
gmcharlt |
could define a separate wiki curator position |
13:42 |
gmcharlt |
editor, janitor, etc. |
13:42 |
graced |
I think that's a good suggestion - but we run into the same problem of not having enough people to fill the roles. |
13:42 |
StephenGWills |
The wiki really should be an open space and perhaps, to some degree a place to draft info that is not vetted for the website yet? |
13:42 |
RoganH |
gmcharlt: that's the direction I'm leaning in preference |
13:43 |
kmlussier |
In looking at specific sections, I think DIG has traditionally taken on the role of mainining all the doc pages, and I think it would be appropriate to keep it there. |
13:43 |
RoganH |
I think the wiki person's role would be to just flag out of date content and maybe keep up a wishlist of pages that need updating as they have time. |
13:43 |
RoganH |
I think it has to be treated different from the website itself. |
13:43 |
RoganH |
kmlussier: I agree and those are actively maintained. |
13:44 |
RoganH |
If we change the scope of the wiki to be a different beast then the web site proper I think becomes easier to define roles for. |
13:44 |
kmlussier |
We have about 15 minutes until the EOB needs our meeting space. |
13:44 |
RoganH |
I'm happy to carry this thread onto email and doc editing. |
13:45 |
kmlussier |
RoganH: Sure. I think you got some good suggestions on specific roles. Continuing on e-mail would be good. |
13:45 |
kmlussier |
And then getting to the point of seeking volunteers for the specific roles. :) |
13:45 |
RoganH |
We may need to put that off a little as this discussion develops but I'm OK with that. |
13:46 |
RoganH |
And everyone, please jump in! |

not a lot to say here, just a list of discrete tasks that need to be done. |
13:47 |
RoganH |
I've done a few already and as I have spare moments will do more but others can as well of course. |
13:47 |
RoganH |
Trying to take some of the load off Ben here so he doesn't have to do every little thing :) |
13:47 |
gmcharlt |
one thing I need to do and have mentioned is to get a couple pages arising from the EOB put up |
13:48 |
gmcharlt |
the trademark policy to start, most notably |
13:48 |
RoganH |
in the About Evergreen section? |
13:48 |
bshum |
That sounds like a good place |
13:48 |
gmcharlt |
yeah, I think that's a good place |

I'll volunteer to do that and link to some good hi res and eps graphics there |
13:49 |
gmcharlt |
actually, I was intended to do that |
13:49 |
gmcharlt |
there are a couple technical changes to the wording of the policy that I have to dig through first |
13:49 |
gmcharlt |

13:49 |

I think this list of tasks is a great idea! I think it's hard for potential volunteers to know where to start, and this gives them a nice list to start with. |

Should we ask people to add their names to a specific task? So that two people aren't working on the same thing. |
13:50 |
gmcharlt |
kmlussier: +1 |
13:50 |
RoganH |
I think so. And as Galen did, if you need to take over a task just edit it to show. |
13:50 |
RoganH |
In this case I know why Galen is but otherwise adding a note about why would be good. |
13:52 |
RoganH |
So, that's all for this. I was hoping to have bite size items on here that anyone could start with. |
13:52 |

#info Volunteers who want to help with web site should add their name to the task they are planning to work on. |
13:52 |
ericar |
Sorry, this is my first meeting. I'm not seeing this on the tasks, but do you need someone to identify out dated content on wiki page or do you want to hold off on that? |
13:52 |
RoganH |
yes we do! |
13:52 |
RoganH |
Do you want to volunteer to be a wiki janitor? |
13:52 |
kmlussier |
IIRC, there was a convention for identifying outstated content on the wiki. I can't recall the details now. |
13:52 |
ericar |
Awesome job title, yes. |
13:52 |
graced |
It sounds so glamorous... |
13:53 |
gmcharlt |
wiki librarian? |
13:53 |
RoganH |
We can call it Editor if you like. Curator? |
13:53 |
kbutler |
weeder |
13:53 |
RoganH |
Curator implies controlling what's published though, so does editor. |
13:53 |

#info web team membes can also add new tasks to the list RoganH started. |

Terrible. My typo will show up in the minutes. :( |

#topic Evergreen 2014 Conference Committee Report |
14:14 |
kmlussier |
We reached the 6 month mark until conference time last week. |
14:14 |
kmlussier |
We've opened up registration, but just a few have come in so far. |
14:14 |
kmlussier |
Don't forget to get your registrations in before the Early Bird Deadline: http://evergreen-ils.org/conference/eg14/conference-registration/ |
14:14 |
afterl |
I'll be sending out monthly reminders |
14:15 |
kmlussier |
Thanks to the great work of bshum to move the Evergreen site over to Wordpress, we also have a conference web page integrated in with the community web site. |
14:15 |
kmlussier |
http://evergreen-ils.org/conference/eg14/ |
14:15 |
kmlussier |
And the Program Committee is looking for program proposals. |
14:15 |
kmlussier |
afterl: Do you want to talk about sponsorships? |
14:15 |
afterl |
A word on sponsorships so far: it appears to be who you know. If you don't have an in, you don't get a reply back. |
14:16 |
afterl |
So we're going to have to regroup on this to make sure we are getting decent sponsorship money coming in |
14:16 |
afterl |
In the meantime we're following up on the ones who have touched base with us |
14:17 |
gmcharlt |
folks who have committed to a sponsorship can be a good source of specific suggestions and introductions to other |
14:17 |
gmcharlt |
... potential sponsors |
14:17 |
afterl |
Okay, good to know |
14:17 |
afterl |
That's the kind of advice I need right about now |
14:18 |
afterl |
We |
14:18 |
afterl |
will keep at it |
14:18 |
elizabethm_ |
Is there a link to sponsorship info? I usually send out a request to the PINES vendors no matter the conf location. |
14:18 |
afterl |
We're working on it |
14:18 |
kmlussier |
elizabethm_: We're working on that now. |
14:19 |
Shauna_ |
In the past, other local conference planning groups have provided the EOB and past committees with a list of the sponsors/exhibitors from whom they have not heard back. |
14:19 |
Shauna_ |
Someone else may have a connection with that vendor and has a better opportunity from hearing back. |
14:19 |
Shauna_ |
Just wanted to throw that out as a suggestion. |
14:20 |
afterl |
I can send the Board a link to my spreadsheet, built off of Indiana's |
14:20 |
afterl |
so you can follow along with our progress |
14:20 |
afterl |
Thanks to Shauna |
14:20 |
gmcharlt |
sounds good |
14:20 |
afterl |
that's all for now on sponsorships |
14:21 |
gmcharlt |
any questions for kmlussier and afterl? |
14:21 |
montgoc1 |
kmlussier: How many program proposals have you received at this point? |
14:21 |
kmlussier |
montgoc1: Just one. |
14:21 |
kmlussier |
So if you have any ideas, but were hesitant about submitting, please send them along. |
14:22 |
kmlussier |
I will also start posting the proposals to the wiki as we receive them since we are giving the community an opportunity to provide some feedback before we make final selections. |
14:22 |
montgoc1 |
OK. |
14:22 |
abneiman |
kmlussier: I'm sorry if I missed this, but did you guys decide on which track arrangement you were doing? I know you sent out a survey about it. |
14:23 |
kmlussier |
No, you didn't miss it because I dont' think I've communicated it yet. There was wide support for the schedule that starts with tutorials on the day of the hackfest. |
14:24 |
kmlussier |
That schedule also has a continuation of programs on the last day of the conference. Interest group meetings would then become part of the regular programming schedule. |
14:24 |
* kmlussier |
will make a note to convey that information to the general list. |
14:25 |
abneiman |
Cool, thank you |

I love the quote that was selected! |
14:32 |
RoganH |
Do we want to make a merchandising committee of some kind to handle routine tasks from here? |
14:32 |
RoganH |
It doesn't have to be oversight members necessarily though at least one should be on it and a Conservancy rep. |
14:33 |
RoganH |
I did too. Hopefully we will add more later. |
14:33 |
kmlussier |
RoganH: I don't think it's a bad idea to have a committee work on it. So that it doesn't all fall on you. |
14:34 |
George_ |
I could help out with merchandising. |
14:34 |
RoganH |
And so that if I get hit by a bus others know what's going on. |
14:34 |
RoganH |
Plus we don't want to bring every little thing to the oversight board. |
14:35 |
gmcharlt |
I think so. Given that this touches on project finances, requiring that an EOB member be on it is essential IMO |
14:35 |
yboston |
If we use non EOB members, I would say we need to remember to put in writing the pbasic procedures we have to follow areind money because of the conservancy. I could use it too :) |
14:35 |
RoganH |
Galen, do you think a conservancy rep would be able to join us on such a group? |

gmcharlt: exactly, so I would like to offer a position ex-officio to remind the group in the future that they need to be consulted |
14:37 |
gmcharlt |
but things like coming up with ideas, rotating prodcuts, adding new designs, etc. seems like it would be well within the scope of what cuold be delagated |
14:37 |
RoganH |
they in this case meaning conservancy |
14:38 |
gmcharlt |
OK, so at this point I'd like the sense of the Board -- should a merchandising committee be formed, with detail to be fleshed out in a proposal to be considered and formally voted on? |
14:38 |
RoganH |
So, I will work with the volunteers to start coordinating communication and taking it from here and will need to work with the Conservancy to get the financial arrangements in place and satisfy any legal requirements they have. |

I'll have a more detailed report in the newsletter so I don't want to duplicate that here. |

To me the biggest deals were the great work on the mobile OPAC |

and decision to move away from the xulrunner based staff client. |
14:43 |
RoganH |
The staff client change will be a big project and there's a lot to figure out still but we agreed to move towards a web based one. |

#topic Future of the Evergreen staff interface - EOB role |
14:44 |
yboston |
I really liked having the time to talk to other EOB members face to face for a couple of days, also with other develoeprs |
14:47 |
RoganH |
Well, I didn't ask for this item but I will say that one of the biggest concerns we had during the chat |
14:47 |
RoganH |
is that it's such a big project and where will the leadership come from to either allocate resources. |
14:47 |
RoganH |
And by that I mean either fund the work or rally the troops to dedicate time. |
14:47 |
RoganH |
As Jason put it "my bosses are telling me to do other things" and he's right. |
14:48 |
RoganH |
So, could the EOB help convince resource allocators? |
14:48 |
jeff |
to interject a minor data point, my boss is saying "contribute to web based staff UI efforts" |
14:48 |
elizabethm_ |
This looks like a great opportunity for the EOB. |
14:48 |
abneiman |
Can we put together a "pitch kit"? Something simplified for funders to convince them to give us funds? |

this ties directly into the resource summit that Ben Hyman has proposed, so I'm going to merge that agenda item with this |
14:50 |
gmcharlt |
and ask the sense of the EOB on Ben's question -- are we in favor of the general idea for an Evergreen summit on resources and big projects, and would we like him to flesh out a proposal? |

I wanted to make a comment on a way the EOB can help |
14:53 |
gmcharlt |
go for it |
14:53 |
yboston |
it is multi line, head up |
14:53 |
yboston |
Besides providing funding, the EOB can select a point person or small committee to help push this issue forward by doing non-funding based things like... |
14:53 |
yboston |
(off the top of my head) |
14:53 |
yboston |
1) (only) proposing the client be worked on during hack fest or hack-a-way |
14:53 |
yboston |
2) attending dev loper meetings and give feedback thinking as the community as a whole, instead f just a single isntitution |
14:53 |
yboston |
3) running special IRC meeting on the client topic |
14:53 |
yboston |
4) helping set up ddodle polls for these meetings |
14:53 |
yboston |
5) helping create user survey to get more feedback from communtiy |
14:53 |
yboston |
6) volunteer to test prototype web clients, and or provide test data |
14:54 |
yboston |
(sorry about the spelling) |
14:55 |
gmcharlt |
a champion, as it were |
14:56 |
yboston |
yes, also thought of the role of just a facilitator(s) |
14:56 |
gmcharlt |
some of that would depend on resources for enough devs to participate -- but I think for now, certainly anybody who is interested should advocate for it |
14:57 |

but I think some of that also anticipate the final form of how the work gets done and funded |

15:52 |
gsams |
I'm not really sure what is going on, everything is in place |
15:53 |
gsams |
there is even a higher level catch all for their library that it is completely missing |
15:53 |
bshum |
Could be something minor |
15:53 |
bshum |
Like a missing flag |
15:53 |
bshum |
Or an extra flag |
15:54 |
bshum |
My favorite is always how the "reference" flag gets set to T/F (false by default) in any given rule. |
15:54 |
bshum |
And sometimes that does weird things if the items themselves are marked NULL for reference flag |
15:55 |
gsams |
their rules do not appear to be any different than they were, or any different really than anyone else's |
15:56 |
gsams |
they are active, set to the user level, have the Org Unit set, Circ Modifier, True circulate, a duration rule, a recuring fine rule and a max fine |
15:57 |
mmorgan |
gsams: Did the library register a new workstation, maybe to the wrong org unit? Just a wild stab ... |
15:58 |
gsams |
mmorgan: I actually get the same result from my workstation when I am registered to their org unit |
16:06 |
bshum |
It's always a weird matchpoint issue |
16:07 |
bshum |
Somehow a weird copy location ID ended up in the default rule in the copy_location column |
16:07 |
bshum |
Blocking matches cause of course that library wasn't using said copy location. |
16:07 |
bshum |
I vaguely recall csharp or someone encountering weirdness like that once before. |
16:07 |

Maybe that portion of the GUI is a little buggy |

We have a large number of rows in action.circulation where stop_fines is CHECKIN and xact_finish is NULL. Doesn't seem right to me. Should they have xact_finish filled in? |
16:28 |
Dyrcona |
you'd think so, but no. |
16:29 |
Dyrcona |
Although you might call that a bug, that's pretty much the way it has worked for as long as I remember. |
16:29 |
jeff |
mmorgan: one normal situation that matches your description would be a circ with some fines that have not yet been paid. |
16:29 |
berick |
so sad it's faster to google '3m sip' than look at one of the 19 copies of the PDF in my downloads folder. |
16:29 |
jeff |
mmorgan: that said, there has been a class of bug where even after being paid to zero, some circs will not get xact_finish set -- that's a bug. |
16:30 |
jeff |
berick: one day you'll get bizarro sip. |
16:30 |
Dyrcona |
and it was fixed or is about to be fixed? |
16:30 |
berick |
1998 SIP |
16:30 |
gmcharlt |
the intent is that xact_finish gets set to a non-NULL date when all financial obligations for the transaction have been settled |
16:30 |
gmcharlt |
but yeah, if that is in fact the case for the loans in question, and xact_finish is null, that's a bug as jeff describes |
16:31 |
Dyrcona |
a propos of sip, I thought of removing the http transport and references to NCIP v1.01 in the code. |
16:31 |
mmorgan |
So if an item is borrowed, and returned on time, should xact_finish get filled in? |
16:31 |
Dyrcona |
mmorgan: common sense would say yes. |
16:31 |
berick |
and manual billings were attached |
16:31 |
berick |
er, no |
16:31 |
jeff |
mmorgan: assuming nothing odd like an unpaid rental checkout fee, yes. |
16:32 |
berick |
and /no/ manual billings |
16:36 |
bshum |
Dyrcona: I believe we committed that fix for closing transactions as part of some 2.5 thing. |
16:37 |
bshum |
But I might be misremembering whether we did any sort of backporting of that (doubts it) |
16:38 |
jeff |
i think that there have been multiple instances of bugs of that class (similar/same symptom, different causes leading up to it), thus there might be others lurking. also, have any of the bug fixes included an upgrade script to "fix" existing data? I'm not even sure how I feel about that, just idly wondered. |
16:38 |

Well, I know I did a branch that fixes at leas some of it, and I vaguely recall it going in. |

Hello everybody, Does someone know wich are the sql scripts I have to execute to migrate from 2.3.7 to 2.4.2? because there are some alpha and rc that I dont know if I have to execue them! |
16:46 |
csharp |
frank___: ignore the alpha and RC scripts and just use the 2.3-2.4.0 one |
16:52 |
frank___ |
csharp: So Do I have to execute this ones in the order? 2.3.8-2.3.9-upgrade-db.sql, 2.3.9-2.3.10-upgrade-db.sql, 2.3-2.4.0-upgrade-db.sql, 2.3-2.4-supplemental.sh, 2.4.0-2.4.1-upgrade-db.sql, 2.4.1-2.4.2-upgrade-db.sql or just 2.3-2.4.0? |
16:58 |
bshum |
Actually, you'll want to run supplemental.sh after you do the 2.4.0-2.4.1 I think |
16:59 |
bshum |
There's some long reingests that happen in the supplemental |
16:59 |

"If upgrading from Evergreen 2.3 or before, now is the time to run Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/version-upgrade/2.3-2.4-supplemental.sh, which contains additional required SQL to complete your Evergreen upgrade!" |
