12:55 jeff according to Twitter, the
12:55 jeff 2011 Evergreen International Conference
12:55 jeff is looking for presentation proposal submissions. :-)
12:56 bshum jeff: I definitely already submitted something for that :)
12:56 Dyrcona :)
12:57 bshum With you jeff as a matter of fact ;)
12:57 jeff hah!
12:58 bshum That was the year we did reports :D
12:59 jeff ah yes!
12:59 jeff and i had page after page of terrible code and IDL.
12:59 jeff s/page/slide/
12:59 jeff s/page/slide/g
13:02 jonadab All code looks terrible several years after you wrote it, though.
13:03 bshum I think we can blame that on the projector though, doing a regular 4x3 instead of 16:10
13:08 Dyrcona My favorite reaction reading code... "Whose the dummy who wrote this?"... git blame .... "Oh, I'm the dummy." :)
13:08 Dyrcona Wrong who's... but whatevs.
13:09 jonadab Yes, I have had that reaction even when looking through a codebase for which I am the sole author.
13:10 jonadab @blame old code
13:10 pinesol_green jonadab: old code musta been an Apple employee.

13:57 kmlussier jeff: I've deleted the tweet along with the other tweet with conference planning survey results (same conference).
13:58 Dyrcona @blame old tweet
13:58 pinesol_green Dyrcona: I know it was you, old tweet. You broke Dyrcona's heart. You broke Dyrcona's heart.
13:58 bshum Haha
13:58 bshum That's a funny blame :)
13:58 kmlussier I'm not sure why it showed up. Usually, it's because of an old post suddenly being re-posted on Planet Evergreen, but I don't see anything there.
14:11 * kmlussier chuckles at the "Translate from Dutch" link on this tweet - https://twitter.com/Evergreen​ILS/status/866744111176470528
14:12 kmlussier Was it NCIPServer or OpenSRF that triggered the offer of translation services?
14:12 jeff dunno. i son't see any such offer.
14:12 jeff don't, even.
14:13 jeff but i do see a suggested set of related hashtags, including -- nope, nevermind. they went away.
14:14 jeff ah. it was simply a list of "trending" tags and one ended in eg.

14:58 gmcharlt evergreen dev meeting in 2 minutes
15:00 gmcharlt #startmeeting Evergreen Develpment Meeting, 7 June 2017

15:00 pinesol_green Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic #startvote.
15:00 pinesol_green The meeting name has been set to 'evergreen_develpment_meeting__7_june_2017'
15:00 gmcharlt #info Agenda is https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/do​ku.php?id=dev:meetings:2017-06-07
15:00 gmcharlt #topic Introductions
15:00 gmcharlt please introduce yourselves...
15:00 DPearl DPearl = Dan Pearl, C/W MARS Inc.
15:00 gmcharlt #info gmcharlt = Galen Charlton, Equinox
15:01 phasefx #info phasefx = Jason Etheridge, Equinox
15:01 berick #info berick Bill Erickson, KCLS
15:01 DPearl #info DPearl = Dan Pearl, C/W MARS Inc.
15:01 dbwells #info dbwells = Dan Wells, Hekman Library (Calvin College)
15:01 JBoyer #info JBoyer = Jason Boyer, IN State Library
15:01 miker #info miker = Mike Rylander, EOLI
15:02 remingtron #info remingtron = Remington Steed, Hekman Library (Calvin College)
15:03 Dyrcona #info Dyrcona = Jason Stephenson C/W MARS
15:03 gmcharlt #topic Action items from previous meeting
15:04 gmcharlt #info gmcharlt sent an email to open-ils-dev requesting feedback on the copy tags / digital bookplates feature
15:04 gmcharlt #info gmcharlt sent a note to open-ils-general giving a heads-up on the potential project to replace LP
15:05 gmcharlt both of which resulted in... not much (or any) feedback :)
15:05 gmcharlt but JBoyer++ for raising his discovery regarding Angular scoping to open-ils-dev
15:05 gmcharlt so... there's that
15:06 gmcharlt on the other hand, in the latter case I suppose it means we can just proceed and ask for feedback once we have something to show, I suppose
15:06 gmcharlt so, any questions re those updates before I move on?
15:06 * phasefx has pitchfork and torch if you want something destructive re: launchpad :)
15:06 gmcharlt heh
15:07 gmcharlt so moving on
15:07 JBoyer I'm working on an OpenSRF bug re: the fork() bug that jeffdavis and I keep running into, but I haven't had time to write it up yet.
15:07 gmcharlt #topic OpenSRF update
15:08 gmcharlt so, speaking of that bug, I know berick has been looking at it as well
15:08 gmcharlt any insight so far?
15:08 gmcharlt also, request to jeffdavis and/or JBoyer: could one of you go ahead and write up an LP?
15:08 gmcharlt if it turns out to be an Evergreen bug proper rather than an OpenSRF one, it's easy enough to move it
15:09 miker this is the fork failure turning listener into drone bug, yes?
15:09 JBoyer No insight, but I have (had for a couple days...) an LP tab open in my browser for it.
15:09 berick miker: no, it's not clear if fork() is related.
15:09 berick just one of a few theories
15:09 berick we need some logging from affected systems
15:09 JBoyer miker, no. This is undefined values making it into calls to syswrite.
15:10 dbs #info dbs = Dan Scott, Laurentian University
15:10 miker ah, ok, thanks
15:10 JBoyer (IRC Log search for Server.pm and 307 should pull up a short list of hits)
15:10 gmcharlt JBoyer: would you accept an action item to pull together a writeup for LP?
15:11 JBoyer Consider my judo-chop-action-button pressed,
15:11 gmcharlt whee!
15:11 JBoyer er, yes.
15:11 * berick can add a logging patch if that would be helpful
15:11 JBoyer berick++
15:11 gmcharlt #action JBoyer will write up known details of the syswrite-to-oblivion issue for LP
15:12 gmcharlt so, unless there's more, sounds like that's it for OpenSRF; needless to say, this seems like something that woujdl warrant a 2.5.1 when it gets tracked down
15:12 JBoyer My primary concern is that I've only ever seen this in production, where logs are already xbox-hueg.
15:13 gmcharlt #topic Evergreen update
15:13 gmcharlt #info Evergreen 2.10.12, 2.11.5, 2.12.2, all security releases, came out on 24 May
15:13 gmcharlt #link https://evergreen-ils.org/security-releases-evergr​een-2-10-12-evergreen-2-11-5-and-evergreen-2-12-2/
15:14 gmcharlt #info Evergreen 3.0 keeps chugging along; flurry of bugfix work going on at the moemnt
15:15 gmcharlt any other updates regarding the releases?
15:15 gmcharlt if not... moving on
15:15 gmcharlt #topic Feedback regarding the feedback fest
15:16 gmcharlt #info First feedback fest concluded on 5/19
15:16 gmcharlt #info Results at https://evergreen-ils.org/evergreen-3-0-de​velopment-update-6-feedback-fest-results/
15:16 gmcharlt so, my questions to folks:
15:16 gmcharlt did you find this a useful exercise?
15:17 gmcharlt are there things we could do to do it better, giving that there's a second one slated to occur in August?
15:17 miker I found it useful ... I don't have suggestions for improvement ATM
15:18 berick ditto
15:18 JBoyer Same
15:19 miker or, not any that we collectively have time for (build a tool! :) )
15:19 phasefx I found it useful; I liked you just throwing stuff my way.  Maybe we could benefit from a bug dispenser to make random suggestions :) I know one community that did with getting folks to judge works during a competition where you couldn't possibly look at everything
15:20 gmcharlt phasefx: interesting - do you recall details of that / have a link?
15:20 * gmcharlt also notes that one of the features of the Koha dashboard is a link to a random bug
15:21 phasefx gmcharlt: it was Interactive Fiction community, a piece of software had a list of all the contestants, and a would-be judge would pull a lever and get a handful to look at
15:22 JBoyer @oprah bugs
15:22 pinesol_green JBoyer: http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/content.ph​p?theme=2&amp;music=6&amp;url=evergreen-ils.org
15:22 * gmcharlt blinks
15:22 gmcharlt MOVING ON... :)
15:22 gmcharlt thanks for the feedback folks
15:23 gmcharlt #topic Update on project to investigate alternatives to Launchapd and Gitolite
15:23 gmcharlt #link https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/​doku.php?id=dev:2017_new_tools
15:23 gmcharlt Dyrcona: how are your experiments with gitlab coming along?
15:24 gmcharlt dbs: did you mention another possible translation management tool recently? if so, what was it?
15:24 dbs weblate
15:24 Dyrcona Well, I can confirm that after you make a configuration change, gitlab will accept pushes of the Evergreen repo.
15:24 dbs I'll add it to the wiki page and organize a new "translation tools" section
15:24 gmcharlt dbs++
15:25 Dyrcona I've not had much time to experiment, but we appear to lose some of the fine-grained control over repositories, so we may need to revisit how we manage branches at the moment.
15:28 gmcharlt ok
15:29 gmcharlt are we at a point where it would make sense to stand up a VM on the community's server, put gitlab there, and open up for more testing?
15:30 miker I don't see a reason not to mirror our current git setup over to gitlab, if that can be done
15:31 gmcharlt indeed
15:31 Dyrcona It's more like reflected in a pond than mirrored.
15:31 miker :)
15:32 gmcharlt ok
15:32 gmcharlt I won't set a formal action item just now (unless somebody is raring to go), but something to keep in mind over the next few weeks
15:32 gmcharlt any other discussion on tool replacement?
15:33 gmcharlt moving on
15:33 gmcharlt #topic Proposal to create a development dashboard
15:33 gmcharlt #link https://evergreen-ils.org/everg​reen-3-0-development-update-8/
15:34 gmcharlt #info Koha dashboard is at http://dashboard.koha-community.org/
15:34 gmcharlt so, any thoughts about whether it would be useful to pursue this, and if so, what we want want displayed in a dashboard?
15:36 Dyrcona Should it wait until we've decided on a bug tracker?
15:37 * berick was going to say that
15:37 Dyrcona If we're planning to ditch Lp, that is.
15:37 berick i like the idea of dashboard, though
15:37 Dyrcona Yeah, I like the idea, too.
15:37 dbs Yep, like a friendly front end to a bug tracker
15:38 gmcharlt yeah, writting an interface to a bug tracker twice seems inefficient :)
15:38 phasefx and i like the idea of snapshots exposed as periodic blog posts/newsletters
15:39 gmcharlt ok
15:39 gmcharlt thanks for the feedback
15:40 gmcharlt any other topics to discuss or bug feedback before we close the meeting?
15:42 gmcharlt ok
15:42 gmcharlt thanks, everybody!
