08:11 * pinesol_green brews and pours a pot of Golden Orchid, and sends it sliding down the bar to Dyrcona (http://ratetea.com/tea/whisper​ing-pines/golden-orchid/7244/)
08:12 jeff so that worked well: stood up two new Elasticsearch nodes, decommissioned the two previous ones (which were both running on the same VM as each other).
08:13 jeff other than pointing IPs (because i wasn't using multicast discovery) and ensuring things were properly firewalled, there was very little to do other than watch as things re-balanced.

08:26 Dyrcona I have some crazy questions about SuperCat, but probably need to wait for the right people to be in channel.
08:27 miker Dyrcona: I'll answer when I can...
08:28 Dyrcona miker: From experimentation, it appears that eg.keyword is the same as eg.keyword+exact.
08:28 Dyrcona In SRU, that is.
08:28 jeff miker: also for the benefit of the logs, were you referring to ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS on some/all of the tables that make up actor.org_unit_descendants, or is there a way to SET STATISTICS on a view itself?
08:28 Dyrcona I'd like to change it so eg.keyword is like eg.keyword+all
08:30 miker Dyrcona: seems reasonable. that should be fairly straight-forward IIRC, but I'd have to look at the sru transformation code
08:31 Dyrcona I was trying to find that yesterday but was distracted at the time.
08:31 miker jeff: nosir. alter function ... rows {some-reasonable-number}
08:31 jeff miker: aha! thanks!
08:31 Dyrcona miker: I'll see what I can dig up today. If I have to change for all search types at once, I can deal.
08:31 Dyrcona My main goal is to get more results in z39.50.
08:31 jeff and yes, s/view/function/ in my original question. :-)
08:32 * Dyrcona wonders if he shouldn't just hack simpl2zoom....
08:32 Dyrcona simple, even. ;)
08:42 miker Dyrcona: so, this is going from memory and looking at CQL::TermNode::toEvergreen ... IIRC, SRU defines sematics for search without a modifier as "look for the exact substring". one is expected to add something like cql.word as a modifier to get "find all the words". that said, it's surprising compared to our default behavior (and, say, google's)
08:43 jwoodard joined #evergreen
08:43 finnx joined #evergreen
08:44 Dyrcona miker: Thanks! That helps a bit.
08:47 Dyrcona Heh. Just went to save a PDF file from the 'net to discover that I saved it already in 2012.....
08:52 miker Dyrcona: the default base is scr. that's "server choice" IIRC, so we could legit make that $quote_it=0 and get the same behavior as "all" ... not sure if that breaks sru rules or not
08:53 miker hrm, no, default relation base is "="
08:53 miker but, same applies, I think
08:53 Dyrcona miker: Thanks. I don't want to take up too much of your time. That gives me somewhere to look.
08:54 miker anyway... sru can match opac sematics, we just need to decide if we want to break library rules, or break normal people's expectations ;)
08:56 Dyrcona miker: I'm not sure what "normal" people's expectations are, but I'm pretty sure that they expect to do a keyword search for "king dead zone" and not get 0 results, when we have 8. :)
08:57 Dyrcona Guess I have to read a 276 page standards document to really learn how to search z39.50.
08:58 Dyrcona Sadly enough, this http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.p​hp?id=evergreen-admin:sru_and_z39.50 is the best document that I can find with actual examples.
08:58 miker sure, I agree. we could certainly have $quote_it=0 where $qualifier eq 'kw' and the base isn't 'exact'
09:02 Dyrcona When I started on this, I was just thinking of making the change locally and suggesting it to other Evergreen sites interfacing with the Auto-Graphics ILL system....
09:03 mmorgan joined #evergreen
09:07 finnx left #evergreen
09:09 miker Dyrcona: seems reasonable to figure out how to supply default modifiers if the sru client doesn't supply them ... new column (default_cql_modifier) on config.metabib_search_alias?
09:10 Dyrcona miker: That is a good idea for something shareable...setting a default modifier.
09:10 miker hrm... there's a mailing list question (and maybe a bug?) about differences between dc.title and bare title searches via z3950/sru, and the else of the 'if ($qualifier)' branch would explain that...

09:28 kmlussier Who has the ability to push to the history repo?
09:29 kmlussier yboston had suggested it might be good to use the history repo as a practice exercise on the MassLNC git day if we have people who don't have a code or doc change to push to working.
09:30 gmcharlt kmlussier: should be everybody with a registered key, but I'll double-check
09:31 tsbere kmlussier: You could always use the random repo
09:31 gmcharlt kmlussier: and yep, everybody can
09:31 kmlussier gmcharlt: Thanks!
09:32 kmlussier tsbere: Yeah, I don't think the random repo would work in this instance. The history.txt file just seemed like an easy thing to edit if we need a quickie project for somebody to work on.
09:32 kmlussier For example, they could update release info.
09:33 kmlussier And conference and hack-a-way dates.
09:34 kmlussier yboston++ #Pointing me in the direction of the history repo.
09:35 gmcharlt and in terms of making a virtue of necesesity, the many releases not recorded in the middle gives an opportunity for practicing dealing with merge conflicts
10:25 Dyrcona Ha! When I try advanced search on the Auto-graphics system, and choose "all" of these terms or "exactly this phrase" it gets translated into the same SRU search on our end.
10:25 Dyrcona If I choose "any" of these terms, "or" gets plastered all over the place.
10:35 Dyrcona The simple keyword search does the same as advanced search "all" and "exact."
11:01 Dyrcona Does anyone have a logrotate configuration for oils_z3950.log?
11:03 * jwoodard finally figured out the MARC batch edit feature!!

11:22 kmlussier I'm reviewing the web client doc page in preparation for tomorrow's web client hacking day. http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/dok​u.php?id=evergreen-docs:webclient
11:22 Dyrcona Just experimenting looks like I'll need to stop z3950 during the log rotation....
11:23 kmlussier For installing the web client preview, I see there is a link to a draft bshum wrote. Does anyone know if those instructions are good to go?
11:23 kmlussier Or maybe we should add that as a task for tomorrow. Reviewing the install documentation.
11:24 Dyrcona Hmm. a restart after might work...
11:25 Dyrcona Did the actual instructions for installing the web staff client get merged into master?
11:25 Dyrcona I can never remember "trivial" things.
11:25 kmlussier Dyrcona: I don't see it, but I could be missing something
11:27 Dyrcona The websockets instructions are in the OpenSRF README.
11:27 Dyrcona kmlussier: I don't think they've been merged into the README, yet.
11:27 Dyrcona I thought I wanted that for 2.9, but looks like it didn't happen.
11:28 kmlussier Dyrcona: OK, do you happen to know if the instructions are correct?
11:29 Dyrcona Section 4.1 can be modified for Ubuntu, at least. You can install the ubuntu-trusty-developer prerequisites instead of doing the steps listed there.
11:30 Dyrcona That's probably true on recent Debian, too.
11:31 Dyrcona I can fix that up after verifying some things later, if you like.
11:32 kmlussier Dyrcona: Thanks!

12:45 hopkinsju We did an upgrade over this past weekend and ever since coming back up we've been fighting a problem with dogpiling queries. Most seem to be related to selects from metabib.suggest_browse_entries. Has anyone else seen this or something similar? We upgraded to EG 2.9.1 and PG 9.2 and this is really giving us a tough week.
12:45 hopkinsju Plus Bmagic is out for the rest of the week so it's left to the b-team ;-)
12:46 hopkinsju I've got dozens of queries from metabib.suggest_browse_entries running for > 30 minutes. It's really not good for the CPU.
12:53 kmlussier Wish I could help, but none of our sites use autosuggest due to the accessibility issues.
12:54 miker hopkinsju: likely bad stats on metabib.browse_entry and friends. analyze the whole db (and kill all those queries) as a first step. without looking at the db, though, hard to say more.
12:57 hopkinsju miker sounds like good advice. I was thinking along similar lines.
13:02 Dyrcona miker: Not quoting for ($base eq '=' && $qualifier eq 'kw') works, except when the $term is already quoted. :)
13:04 miker Dyrcona: that seems an eminently reasonable exception
13:04 Dyrcona miker: Well the trouble is, the vendor is sening @attr 1=1016 "kind dead zone" as the query, so I'm gonna have to strip the quotes...
13:05 Dyrcona Interestingly, @attr 1=1016 king+dead+zone works.
13:05 Dyrcona The string with spaces without quotes, throws up a parse error in yaz-client.
13:05 miker at some point, + turns into a space. I think in the URL when used in cgi params
13:06 Dyrcona Yes, it does. I usually use + instead of %20 in urls.
13:06 miker or, inside the CGI module
13:06 Dyrcona It's part of the URL standards for query strings, I think.
13:07 Dyrcona Anyway, I'm going to strip quote in my local experiment if $quote_it is false.
13:07 Dyrcona Just from the begginning and end.
13:07 miker seems logical

13:19 mllewellyn Is anyone around who uses acquisitions EDI with Baker & Taylor including GIR information?
13:27 kmlussier mllewellyn: I think C/W MARS uses it, but their acq person rarely comes into the IRC channel.
13:27 kmlussier No, actually, it looks like they're using it with Ingram.
13:28 mllewellyn Ah. I'll try posting on the Cataloger's list. We've done GIR with Brodart, but B&T needed an alternate version of the library SAN, and Ben worked out where to put that.
13:28 mllewellyn But now they want something else added to the EDI order message, and I don't know how to do that.
13:29 mllewellyn They tell me, "For the processing of the Enriched AV we need the LOC segment to be added as mandatory and it needs to contain “multi”, as in example below.   "
13:29 mllewellyn FTX+LIN+1'  PRI+AAB:25.99'  RFF+LI:21423/420651'  LOC+7+multi::92'  UNS+S'  CNT+2:1'
13:29 DPearl1 left #evergreen
13:30 mllewellyn I tried looking at a Brodart order with GIR to see if theirs has it, but I don't see it.
13:30 mllewellyn B&T has so many freaking hoops to jump through for AV material.
13:31 berick mllewellyn: in the stock EDI template, there is a special case to format the buyer / library SAN differently for BT.  I wonder if it's related to what you're looking for.
13:31 * berick finds the code
13:31 mllewellyn We got the SAN part settled.
13:31 mllewellyn # Custom B&T codes for Bridgeport AV materials ----------
13:31 mllewellyn IF VENDACCT == '336033V' AND VENDCODE == '1055'; ORG_UNIT_SAN = '336033V'; END;
13:31 mllewellyn IF VENDACCT == '336033V' AND VENDCODE == '1056'; ORG_UNIT_SAN = '336033V'; END;
13:31 mllewellyn IF VENDACCT == '336033V' AND VENDCODE == '1054'; ORG_UNIT_SAN = '336033V'; END;
13:31 mllewellyn IF VENDACCT == '336033V' AND VENDCODE == '1053'; ORG_UNIT_SAN = '336033V'; END;
13:31 mllewellyn IF VENDACCT == '336033V' AND VENDCODE == '1020'; ORG_UNIT_SAN = '336033V'; END;
13:31 mllewellyn IF VENDACCT == '336033V' AND VENDCODE == '1084'; ORG_UNIT_SAN = '336033V'; END;
13:32 mllewellyn I can't figure where this LOC thing comes in.
13:32 berick mllewellyn: oh!  I should have finished reading..
13:33 mllewellyn I wish it were the SAN issue.  :(
13:35 mllewellyn From our test order. They added the LOC line to show me what they're expecting.

13:37 berick mllewellyn: hm, we use the LCO (copy id) field, but I don't recall using LOC
13:38 * Dyrcona misspoke earlier. I don't have to strip quotes off the term. I misunderstood my error. :)
13:38 mllewellyn This is for Enriched AV processing.
13:41 DPearl joined #evergreen
13:41 berick hmm, delivery location
13:41 mllewellyn berick: that makes sense. Multi deliveries
13:43 tspindler joined #evergreen
13:45 berick mllewellyn: i could be wrong, but it does not appear that our EDI code (specifically, the ruby parsing/mapping code) can accommodate that field.
13:46 berick support for that might have to be added
13:46 mllewellyn OK, that's something I can tell her.
13:46 mllewellyn berick: thanks for checking
13:47 berick all the more reason to drop the ruby stuff and do inline edi.  *sigh*  some day i'll get back to working on that.
13:49 miker 1000x that -^
13:50 mllewellyn berick +
13:54 csharp b&t--
13:54 csharp fortunately none of our libraries on acq are using them
13:55 rfrasur well, B&T is good at sending books to libraries, so there's that.  Tech support?  maybe not so much.

14:04 yboston not sure if this was done already
14:04 yboston or if we need a new volunteer for it
14:04 graced I will volunteer to clarify
14:04 rfrasur Thank you, Grace.
14:04 tspindler I forget, what was needed to clarify
14:04 yboston #action graced to get further list feedback on 10% budget approval interpretation.
14:05 graced I think there was email discussion but no formal decision.  I'll revisit and send an email to everyone next week.
14:05 tspindler was it 10% of conference budget?
14:05 yboston tspindler: I believe so
14:05 graced tspindler: yes, that was the issue
14:05 csharp the question was whether the 10% was per line item or the whole budget
14:05 yboston csharp++
14:06 tspindler thanks, I remember that
14:06 kmlussier Or per major section of the budget.
14:06 abneiman csharp++ that was indeed the question
14:06 graced go Mr. Secretary!  ;)

14:07 yboston #info graced to wrangle conference standing committee members and see how previous conferences dealt with refund policy; then craft suggested wording for group discussion/vote
14:07 rfrasur I think with Grace getting clarification, onward is correctward.
14:07 yboston graced: would you like to defer for next time?

14:08 yboston #topic EG 2016 Conference Update
14:08 yboston tanyap: do you have an update for us today?
14:09 tanyap i will provide some statistics on the conference.  we will be making a big push next week for sponsorships.  here goes:
14:09 tanyap 43 proposals were submitted.  The program committee has some questions for the EOB.  see the following link.
14:09 tanyap https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet​s/d/1x7l2iYfLI93g3V4Qv-4T46-GA8CUNU​F5MKRMQfDNKWY/edit#gid=1589049103
14:10 tanyap The committee would like to accomodate all proposals if possible.  They have contacted several of the speakers to see if they will combine talks.
14:11 tanyap one question - they wish to propose a lunch session where from 11:45-12:30 people grab something quick for lunch, which they can bring back to the session, if they choose.  We would have the round-table lunch sessions start in one of the rooms at 12:30 and end at 1:15.
14:12 tanyap or I can add another room to the budget (4th room) during one of the session times.  The cost is $1280.
14:12 graced I would say brown bag lunch.... any possibility of getting some food trucks to park nearby?
14:12 tspindler lunch program sounds better to me, I don't know the venue so is it easy to grab a lunch and attend?
14:13 csharp there are lots of restuarants around that hotel
14:13 csharp (site of Code4Lib 2014)
14:13 tanyap there are a great number of places to eat outside the door of the hotel.  we can check on food trucks;
14:13 abneiman As long as there are quick carry-out options then I'm fine brown-bagging
14:13 csharp I don't remember food trucks, but plenty of options
14:13 tanyap food trucks usually are there only from May - Sept.
14:14 csharp tanyap: I think it's a reasonable solution to a very common scheduling dilemma for our conferences
14:14 rfrasur I think 45 minutes is plenty of time to source some gnosh and head back.
14:14 csharp we had a couple of special interest groups (acq, at least) do the same last year
14:14 tanyap there are 2 proposals for consortium leaders.  we were thinking during a breakfast to continue the consortium leaders breakfasts started in Hood River?
14:15 * rfrasur nods at csharp
14:15 graced +1 to consortial breakfast continuation if the A/V needs can be handled
14:16 csharp feedback I got about those breakfast meetings was positive
14:16 tanyap ok. i will look into that. people can grab their food and take it to another room for the presentation.
14:16 yboston tanyap: you mentioned that you suggested to folks to combine sessions. How long are the session going to be?
14:16 tanyap perhaps we can set up one of the rooms a bit early.  i'll check.
14:17 tanyap We were using the time slots that Hood River used.
14:17 graced 45 minutes?
14:17 rfrasur It was good.  I'd like to see that continue.  On the spreadsheet, you have a proposal from PINES and Equinox, and you'd like them both at that breakfast?
14:17 tanyap There were only 2 or 3 combined proposals which you can see in the link I sent.
14:18 gmcharlt rfrasur: there's more than one breakfast
14:18 tanyap That is what the Program Committee is suggesting.  We wanted to get your input first.
14:18 graced rfrasur: there was a breakfast session for consortium leaders each morning.
14:18 yboston tanyap: thanks
14:18 rfrasur Gotcha.  I was actually there, but the brain is foggy today.
14:19 tanyap yes. could be different breakfast presentations for the consortium leaders; one per day.
14:19 csharp @coffee rfrasur
14:19 * pinesol_green brews and pours a cup of La Esmeralda, and sends it sliding down the bar to rfrasur
14:19 rfrasur perfect, thank you
14:19 tanyap Should I tell them you are not adverse to their suggestions and to start piecing together a possible schedule?
14:19 csharp tanyap: for my part, yes
14:20 graced tanyap: I think that's the consensus.
14:20 graced Any more questions about conference programming?
14:20 rfrasur tanyap: yes
14:20 tanyap ok. onto registrations; we have 48 registrations to date; 22 for preconferences.
14:20 tanyap I'm hoping the schedule and the list of EXCELLENT proposals will stimulate registrations.
14:21 rfrasur It will.
14:21 graced I wouldn't worry - they tend to pick up in February...
14:21 csharp tanyap: that's the pattern, in my experience
14:21 tanyap We have $10,600 sponsorship monies to go.  We are pushing those heavily next week.

14:21 csharp GPLS is offering scholarships to 10 PINES library staff to attend too
14:22 tanyap excellent. I haven't signed up yet myself because of our State Library process.
14:22 abneiman csharp that's awesome!
14:22 csharp (thereby removing basically every reasonable obstacle to attendance, since we're so close geographically)
14:22 rfrasur I know that EG Indiana employees have to go through the state process to attend which takes a little longer.

14:23 tanyap Grace suggested PV SUPA, Lyrasis, Envisionware (ignoring me), and Ingram (ignoring me).
14:23 yboston BTW, I believe the board has not picked the exact time to meet yet during the conference
14:23 tanyap no, you need to do that.  Any questions on sponsorships?
14:23 abneiman yboston: this is correct
14:23 yboston (for when we are done talking about sponsorships)
14:23 tanyap We are working on it.
14:24 graced tanyap: please feel free to hand some of those to me and Shae, we may have different/better contacts at those vendors.
14:24 abneiman tanyap: I'm an Envisionware customer, if you want I can try to poke them
14:24 csharp tanyap: you might reach out to Elizabeth here at GPLS too - she's a good sponsor wrangler
14:24 tspindler tanyap: we are an envisionware customer also
14:24 tanyap thank you to you both!  I will follow up.
14:25 tanyap ok. GA PINES is sponsoring part of the reception (bday cake and champagne and a band)
14:25 yboston nice
14:25 tanyap i will follow up for sure with you then!
14:26 graced tanyap: are there any other Board questions or assistance you ened from us?
14:26 tanyap the last item I had was that the graphics designer has some mockups for the program cover.  I will send that along; she is finalizing them.
14:26 rfrasur Awesome :D
14:26 tanyap For those that offered with the sponsorships, that's great!  I think we have everything else in hand.
14:27 csharp tanyap++
14:27 graced sounds good, thanks tanyap
14:27 yboston tanyap: BTW, two years ago when I participated in a conference committee there was an issue with the copyright of the graphics and logo
14:27 abneiman tanyap++
14:27 tanyap you mean for the program brochure and room signs?
14:27 yboston tanyap: I vahuely remember that the SFC wanted the logos to be owned by the community/board?
14:28 yboston the logo for the confrence, I believe
14:28 yboston *conference
14:28 graced yboston: should we wait until the programming committee finalizes their program times before we propose our EOB meeting time?
14:28 tanyap oh. I can contact Tony then.  He has seen the conference logo.
14:28 yboston graced: that makes sense
14:29 abneiman IIRC (tanyap please correct) we're fairly set on program times.
14:29 tanyap you bring up a question. does the evergreen conference logo go on everything for example the badge holders and the tote bag sponsored by vendors?
14:29 yboston tanyap: if the SFC is aware and have not mentioned anything, then we might be all set
14:29 tanyap I will double-check anyway on the logo.
14:29 tanyap Does the EOB validate/approve the badge holders and tate bags?
14:30 yboston tanyap: also, on the board meeting time do you need soemthing from us now? do you need more time?
14:30 tanyap tote bag...sorry!
14:30 tanyap Jonathan and Jennifer will put something together and give you some options.  Does that sound ok?
14:30 yboston tanyap: also, I assuem that there will be time for some community anoucnements on Friday or saturday morning?
14:30 graced the EOB does not approve the tote bags and badge holders
14:30 yboston usually the board and developers will speak for a bit
14:31 tanyap yes. announcements and keynote etc will follow the Oregon program primarily.  We will pass the schedule by the EOB.
14:31 tanyap I think Saturday had joint meetings with developer updates, etc.
14:31 graced tanyap: for the EOB meeting: I think we all were looking toward a morning meeting that didn't conflict with any sessions.  We could probably do lunch, though.
14:31 yboston tanyap: I am not asking for my aproval, I just want to plan that the board meets before we are expected to present
14:32 abneiman And after elections conclude, so that new members can be present at the meeting.
14:32 graced and as yboston said: before Saturday morning.  :)
14:32 abneiman And not post-reception, LOL
14:32 tanyap ok. that seems logical in terms of meeting before presenting.  I'll talk with Jennifer and Jonathan about that.
14:32 graced abneiman++
14:32 rfrasur Please not post reception.
14:32 csharp evening_meetings--
14:33 tanyap ok.  I hear you.
14:33 graced okay then, I suspect we've beaten the conference to death at this point.  ;-)
14:33 tanyap are you all coming in on Wednesday for the hackfast or pre-conferences?  just checking...
14:33 yboston I am
14:33 csharp I am
14:33 abneiman Yes
14:33 graced yes
14:34 rfrasur On Tuesday afternoon
14:34 tspindler I will not be at the conference this year
14:34 tanyap what about a conference room for you during a lunch?
14:34 SHerbert I'm aiming for Wednesday
14:34 graced tanyap: that would probably work fine
14:34 csharp tanyap: that works for me
14:34 rfrasur tspindler, it seems we've talked about this previously.  Would you potentially be available to Skype/GoogleHangout in?
14:35 tspindler rfrasur: yes, that would work
14:35 abneiman As long as I"m not double-booked with the Circ Roundtable, lunch is fine with me.  As rfrasure says we will need some manner of outside communication.
14:35 rfrasur Will the voting be done by Wednesday?
14:35 yboston tspindler: count on me to try to connect you in during the meeting
14:35 tanyap ok. i've taken notes and we will propose a time for you.
14:35 graced rfrasur: Since we control when the voting happens, yes, it can be done
14:35 graced :)
14:36 yboston :)
14:36 rfrasur graced++
14:36 yboston unless there is anything else, thank you very much tanyap

14:36 yboston #topic Financial Report
14:37 yboston I do not have a fancial report for today
14:37 yboston I never had access, and Galen currently has no access
14:37 yboston I may need to work with csharp to contact the SFC
14:37 graced indeed
14:37 yboston to give Galen and me access
14:37 rfrasur csharp, that's you right now?
14:37 yboston though I need training too
14:37 gmcharlt yboston: and I'm happy to do that
14:38 yboston anyway, my term ends at the conference
14:38 rfrasur (No pressure for the rest of us)
14:38 yboston I don't mind being a back up goign forward, but we need to train someone on the board
14:38 gmcharlt btw, there's a project (slow but steady) with Conservancy that should result in web access to the ledger at some point this year
14:38 rfrasur gmcharlt++
14:38 rfrasur web_access++
14:38 SHerbert gmcharlt++
14:38 yboston #action csharp & yboston will work on gettign Galen and yboston access to get the fianncial reports through the SFC
14:39 yboston gmcharlt: good to know
14:39 csharp I'm happy to help
14:39 csharp (sorry - stepped away for a sec)
14:39 yboston I plan to move on to the release update, unless there are more comments/questions?
14:39 rfrasur @penance csharp
14:39 pinesol_green rfrasur: If all else fails, try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging
14:39 csharp rfrasur++
14:40 rfrasur yboston, sounds great
14:40 yboston #topic Evergreen 2.10 Release Manager Report (Galen Charlton)
14:40 yboston gmcharlt: do you have anything to report?
14:41 gmcharlt not much; things have been a bit slow during the hoildays, but I'll be gearing up to do a big set of pushes (see what I did there) starting next week
14:41 gmcharlt and, that's it unless there are questions for me
14:41 yboston (saw it)
14:41 rfrasur nice - it took a minute
14:41 yboston thanks
14:41 yboston gmcharlt++
14:42 rfrasur gmcharlt++, thank you

14:42 yboston #topic Nominations for new EOB chair, potential vote
14:43 tspindler I would like to nominate yboston to finish out this year
14:43 abneiman second yboston
14:43 yboston hold on a moment
14:43 yboston I mispoke in an earlier email
14:43 yboston I am still just the vice chair
14:43 yboston I think I may need to resign the vice-chairmainship(?)
14:44 yboston and then be made the chaor
14:44 tspindler That would make sense
14:44 yboston *elected chair
14:44 rfrasur I'd also like to nominate graced for the chair
14:44 graced yboston: well, there's no rule saying EOB members can't hold two positions
14:44 tspindler are you interested?
14:44 graced Not that I think it's a good idea to hold both chair and vice-chair...
14:44 tanyap left #evergreen
14:44 yboston I am interested in being chair, though my terms ends in April
14:44 yboston alternatively I can remain vice-chair and lead the meetings
14:45 yboston while the new chair gets expereince
14:45 graced rfasur: thanks!  I'm interested
14:45 tspindler graced, how long is your position
14:45 graced One more year.
14:45 rfrasur This chair position, for whomever, would extend to the conference.
14:45 rfrasur Correct?
14:45 csharp rfrasur: correct
14:45 graced Though this would be an election just to fill this term of Chair.
14:45 abneiman Yes, and then at the conference the new board will elect the coming year's officers
14:46 graced Yes, so we would vote again at the EG conference meeting for elected positions
14:46 csharp right
14:46 graced abneiman: jinx
14:46 yboston do me have lections every year? (I should knwo this)
14:46 csharp yep
14:46 rfrasur We do.
14:46 abneiman graced: great minds etc :)
14:46 yboston position elections
14:46 csharp yes, we do
14:46 yboston thanks everyone :(
14:47 rfrasur My reasoning for also nominating graced is knowing that yboston is integrally involved in several aspects of the Evergreen project (and invaluable).
14:47 csharp so we have yboston nominated with a second, and graced nominated, correct?
14:47 graced csharp: correct
14:48 yboston I am a litle confused
14:48 yboston I am leavign the board in April, just to be 100 % clear
14:49 csharp yboston: right - you'd be fulfilling the end of bshum's term
14:49 graced yboston: yes, you were nominated to fill the chair position until April.
14:49 yboston I am open to becoming hte chair or serve out my term as vice chair, with another chair perspm
14:49 graced well, unless I get a scond, you're running unopposed.  :-D
14:49 csharp so do we need a second for graced to be a candidate, and is there one?
14:49 yboston but there was a nomination for graced to be chair
14:49 tspindler i'll second graced
14:50 csharp tspindler: so you nominated yboston and seconded graced ?
14:50 tspindler yes
14:50 tspindler i like competition
14:50 csharp tspindler++
14:50 rfrasur tspindler++
14:51 csharp so, Mr. vice-chair, I think it's your prerogative to call for a vote
14:51 yboston OK, I am less confused
14:51 yboston I am curious as to what graced prefers
14:52 yboston would you rather be vice-chair or chair until april?
14:52 yboston though of course you would need to be nominated for vice-chair and I need to resign,etc
14:52 csharp well, we'd need to do the same process for vice-chair (to stick to parliamentary procedure)
14:52 yboston or I could just shut up and do a vote
14:52 graced yboston: I would do either role, happily.
14:52 csharp (if vacated)
14:53 graced I can see benefits both ways.
14:53 yboston I also need to figure out how to do a vote, but I can quickly make someoen a co-chair if they already know how to do votes
14:53 graced yboston: do you feel that you have the time and inclination to serve the chair position for a few months?
14:53 csharp I think it's just #startvote?
14:53 kmlussier yboston: http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/dok​u.php?id=community:using-meetbot
14:54 graced kmlussier++
14:54 yboston had there not been a nomination I would have no issues being chair, but since there is such a qualified candiadte
14:54 kmlussier And the question needs to be in the form of a yes or no question
14:54 yboston I do prefer being the vice-chair
14:55 rfrasur yboston, are you removing yourself from consideration?
14:55 yboston I guess I am
14:55 rfrasur You don't have to.
14:56 yboston no, I rather be chair if there is a candate that would welcome being chair
14:56 yboston sorry, I rather be vice-chair
14:56 rfrasur Okay :-), so then we'll need a yes or no vote regarding graced as chair and yboston will retain the vice-chair
14:57 csharp yboston: are you withdrawing your candidacy, or would you like to play it  out with a vote?
14:57 yboston no, I will remove my candidacy
14:57 yboston leaving two nominations for graced
14:57 yboston do we still need a vote
14:57 rfrasur Yep
14:57 yboston ok
14:58 yboston #startvote do we vote graced as new chair? yes, no, abstain
14:58 pinesol_green Begin voting on: do we vote graced as new chair? Valid vote options are yes, no, abstain.

15:01 kmlussier graced: Sorry, that's how we roll on my committees. :)
15:01 yboston also we are at the one hour mark
15:02 graced Can everyone stay for another 5 mintues?

15:02 SHerbert yes

15:02 csharp I'm ok
15:02 graced I nominated Amy Terlaga.
15:03 graced Do we have any other nominations at this time?
15:03 rfrasur I'd like to second Amy's nomination if a second is needed.
15:03 rfrasur And if she's willing
15:03 csharp we have a second for Amy
15:03 abneiman IIRC tspindler seconded over email, and Amy did indicate that she was willing
15:03 graced indeed
15:04 rfrasur he did.  I wasn't sure if the email counted.  That was the "is needed."
15:04 graced As I read the governance rules, this would be to serve out the rest of Ben's term, so until spring on 2017
15:04 tspindler my 3pm meeting is here so I will have to bow out
15:04 graced *of 2017
15:04 rfrasur tspindler++, have a good afternoon
15:05 graced well, we still have a quorum, so let's plow through if we can real quick.
15:05 graced Any other nominations?
15:05 graced Any questions or concerns about the nominee or the process?
15:06 yboston none from me

15:18 Stompro Is there a way to go from a list of 20k bib ID's to a record bucket from the client right now?
15:19 phasefx Stompro: no, but you could use a list of item barcodes as a bib surrogate and populate a record bucket that way
15:20 phasefx doing 20k would be painful though
15:20 phasefx that'd also be a bucket you'd never want to pull up in the xul client
15:22 kmlussier Yikes. Yeah, record buckets can only handle so many records.
15:23 phasefx might be better in the web client with paging
15:23 Stompro phasefx, thanks, I wasn't finding anything but wanted to double check.  I need to change the item_type on 20K large print titles and I'm just trying to find the best way.  I was going to try and use the marc batch edit function.
15:23 kmlussier phasefx: You said xul client. Is there hope there will be improvement in this respect in the web client? My webby testing has been limited to buckets with 50 records.
15:23 Dyrcona And, that is why I write so many custom scripts.
15:23 miker if you just use them for container searches, never accessed as a list, that could be useful
15:23 phasefx kmlussier: I think there's always hope.  Not sure what the current performance is with webby
15:24 berick kmlussier: webby will be much better.  buckets are magically paged
15:25 berick as with most grids.  sorting and limiting are server-side and the client only retrieves one page at a time
15:25 phasefx berick++
15:25 berick a 20k bucket in webby should perform the same as a 20 record bucket, minus the slightly longer sql query to generate the first page
15:25 miker Stompro: batch marc edit can't deal with fixed fields...
15:27 Stompro miker, thanks, saved me some time figuring that out the hard way.
15:27 phasefx there's a wishlist item for populating buckets via reports; would love to see that
15:27 miker :) ... and also :( for the lack of that
15:28 kmlussier phasefx: Yeah. That was also one of our unfunded RFP items from way back in our grant days. Still would love to see that happen.
15:44 * tsbere has had two thoughts on the populate a bucket from a report bit, one for "when the report is run" and the other "from the report output"
