10:18 JBoyer Fun things to think about: select count(id),date_trunc('minute',source​_send_time),target_copy,source,dest from action.transit_copy where source_send_time > '2018-03-01' group by 2,3,4,5 having count(id) > 1 ;
10:18 JBoyer 538 duplicate transits to the minute, 286 to the second. Neat-o.

10:30 rlefaive joined #evergreen
10:31 JBoyer (background: If you have 2 simultaneous transits identical in every way, what happens to the second when the item arrives? The answer is 'nothing, it just stays on the transit list display forever')
10:34 rlefaive joined #evergreen
10:42 Bmagic I know this has come up but I'm a bit fuzzy. Patron penalties. For a multi branch system, we would like to set them at the system level but it appears that it doesn't work. PATRON_EXCEEDS_FINES is set at the system level for $10 and an example patron doesn't get the penalty
10:42 abneiman terran++ # great minds :)
10:50 Bmagic holy cow - it's because the patron already had that penalty at another system
10:51 Bmagic two systems defined the same penalty and the patron received it from system A already which short circuited the code to apply it again at system B
10:55 terran JBoyer: We've been seeing some weird duplicated transits too
10:55 terran abneiman++
10:58 Bmagic JBoyer: I wonder if that can happen if the actor.org_unit_proximity table has doubles?
10:59 Bmagic That query shows 179 on our DB
11:00 JBoyer Bmagic, the times are different (just not by much).
11:00 Bmagic Found any causes?
11:00 JBoyer It's ye old race condition, except they're both winning. :/
11:00 JBoyer Not yet, no.
11:01 JBoyer Thinking about just throwing a unique index at it and calling it good.
11:01 JBoyer (Not ideal, but that can gets kicked down the road a bit...)
11:01 Bmagic That sounds like a workable solution
11:02 Bmagic two rows are created by the checkin action?
11:02 Bmagic double scan?
11:02 JBoyer Yeah, every field is identical except the time which is within a half second or so. Double scans are the most likely cause.
11:10 Bmagic hmm
11:10 Bmagic JBoyer: What happens when there are unfinished rows when it's checked in? Both receive the timestamp when received?
11:13 terran joined #evergreen
11:29 jvwoolf joined #evergreen
11:38 Bmagic Is there wisdom in the cash report (administration -> local administration) to respect the patron's home OU instead of looking at the cash drawer OU? It's causing report discrepancies.
11:39 terran I believe the cash report is solely based on the cash drawer ou - at least, that's the only thing that would make sense to us, since PINES patrons can pay at any library.
11:40 miker Bmagic: that UI is meant to reconcile the cash drawers with what was (reportedly) accepted at the workstation org.  it doesn't have much relation to any particular patrons
11:40 Bmagic that is in contrast to what I am seeing
11:40 Bmagic sub ou_user_payments
11:40 Bmagic money.pm
11:40 Bmagic the SQL excerpt "AND au.home_ou = $lib"
11:42 miker that au is not the patron, it's the accepting staff member
11:42 Bmagic ah, then I suppose we have the wrong OU set for them
11:43 miker aye. there's not workstation on forgive/work/goods/credit (not credit card) payments -- they don't go into a cash drawer, they're just "blamed" on a staff user
11:44 miker s/not/no/
11:45 JBoyer Bmagic, I missed your Q earlier, but when there are 2 transits open only one gets closed. The reason I'm looking into this today is that staff have noticed items on their transit list (the thing under Local Admin) where the item status is available.
11:46 Bmagic miker: money.bnm_desk_payment has cash_drawer which is tied to workstation, but that column isn't in the money.bnm_payment_view
11:46 miker that's correct, because a desk payment is a specialization of a brick-n-mortar payment
11:47 miker specifically, a desk payment  mean "money of some sort changed hands at a workstation"
11:47 Bmagic which is WHERE the money was deposited
11:48 Bmagic the workstation seems more reliable than the staff home ou
11:48 miker correct. forgive/credit/goods/credit (again, not credit card) are not money
11:48 miker er forgive/work/goods/credit
11:49 Bmagic it's the credit card case that makes it impossible to use money.bnm_desk_payment ?
11:49 miker incorrect
11:50 miker money.credit_CARD_payment is under bnm_desk_payment
11:50 miker credit != credit_card
11:50 Bmagic ah, gotcha
11:51 Bmagic money.credit_payment contains forgive_payment
11:52 Bmagic nevermind, there is another table for that
11:52 miker credit comes from negative balance on the patron
11:53 miker no money changed hands, so we "blame" the staff. there's nothing in the cash drawer to reconcile
11:53 * miker has to run
11:54 Bmagic thanks!
11:54 Bmagic lata
12:15 terran JBoyer: That's the behavior we've seen too.
12:16 JBoyer I must away, but I'm sure I'll be back on the case of the phantom transits next week. Seems like a unique index would be a good idea in addition to trying to "de-bounce" the incoming checkins.

14:11 miker jvwoolf: thank you. if she could just email the EOB with any (or, confirmation of no) info regarding the conference reconciliation, it would be much appreciated
14:11 afterl joined #evergreen
14:11 miker or(!) afterl, do you have any info on 2018 conference reconciliation with SFC?
14:11 afterl No, miker, I'm sorry - I don't.
14:12 afterl I will try to get a response from the SFC ASAP.
14:12 miker no worries, and thank you!
14:12 miker any other general SFC communication in the last month?
14:13 afterl No - I'm working with them
14:13 scottt I emailed them about 2019 conference registration. No response yet.
14:13 afterl On ..
14:13 afterl some loose ends from the 2018 conference
14:13 afterl Just reached out to them again
14:14 miker afterl: thanks. of import, I think, is that the expenses that have been paid have not made it to the final ledger
14:14 afterl noted
14:14 miker so it looks like we have $160k+ in the bank. I'm certain we don't
14:14 afterl If I can follow up with them on any of these outstanding issues, just let me know
14:15 miker it should be more like ~$70k-$80k
14:15 afterl Okay.  Yes, that's important
14:15 miker perfect, thanks
14:15 miker anything else for Amy re SFC?
14:16 afterl No, just looks like I need to continue to poke

14:18 miker scottt: the floor is yours
14:19 scottt Here it is: Timeline has been finalized. Working on logo and financial projections. Save the Date email just went out.
14:20 miker scottt: does the committee need any resources, info, or decisions from the EOB at large, or are we good?

14:21 scottt Thank you.
14:21 miker our next committee is:
14:21 miker #topic Outreach committee (Kathy Lussier)
14:22 miker however, we're missing Kathy ATM.  do any other Outreach committee members have updates/info/needs to bring to the EOB?
14:22 rgagnon We had a good program at the ALA annual conference, about 20 attendees.
14:22 terran_ Great! How many were current Evergreen users versus not?
14:22 rgagnon The subject was options for running an open source system.
14:23 miker rgagnon: primarily EG users, or a good number of new faces?
14:23 rgagnon Some of both, since it was not geared exclusively to Evergreen, though all the presenters were from EG systems, we had more general open source attendees.
14:24 miker that's good news
14:24 miker is it something we should look at repeating at ALA-MW next ALA-A?
14:25 rgagnon I think we are not scheduling for Midwinter, but will definitely plan a program for Annual in June.
14:25 afterl miker:  as one of the panelists, I'm glad we had a presence at ALA
14:26 miker #info we should plan to repeat the "Options for running an Open Source system" (or similar) panel/program at the next ALA Annual
14:27 miker any other outreach updates?
14:27 miker hearing none, it's on to Old Business
14:27 miker #topic Update on nonprofit status

14:28 miker (and thanks)
14:29 miker Second, the MOBIUS lawyers have roughed out our Form 1023.  Scott has started working on the narrative elements, but I've been buried for the last, well, couple weeks and I know he had an issues sending to the SFC-hosted EOB list (evergreen@sfconservancy.org) due to a typo of mine.  That is resolved, so we'll want to collaborate there to complete the form for submission to the IRS.
14:29 scottt I just sent an email out about this before the meeting. Need some help with the narrative
14:29 miker Please, as you have time, take a look at the Form, raise any concerns and make any suggestions you have.
14:30 miker scottt: are you find with continuing to coordinate and compile the form until we're ready to submit?
14:30 scottt Sure
14:30 miker thanks
14:31 miker #info scottt will continue to coordinate and compile our Form 1023 until it is ready to submit to IRS
14:31 miker #info collaboration to occur on the evergreen@sfconservancy.org list.  If anyone is /not/ receiving email there, please let me know ASAP
14:32 miker scottt: any other updates re: non-profit? those are all of mine
14:32 scottt I think we have it covered.
14:32 miker (for the actual non-profit formation and exception)
14:32 miker great, which brings us to:
14:32 miker #topic Search for an Evergreen lawyer
14:33 miker I did a preliminary scan looking for lawyers that were versed in Open Source software and non-profits ... I did not find any immediate (good) matches, but I will find some that have one or the other and then provide a list to the EOB by next meeting, unless someone else would like to take a crack at it(?)
14:34 miker Does anyone have interest in jumping in on this REALLY FUN PROJECT?
14:35 scottt I'm glad I volunteered to do the 1023
14:35 miker scottt: ha! :)
14:35 miker ok, I will broaden my search and report back with and OR'd list
14:36 agoben miker++
14:36 miker #info miker will broaden the lawyer search to be an OR rather than AND on OSS and non-profit, report back to the board before next meeting
14:36 terran_ miker++
14:36 jvwoolf miker++
14:36 rgagnon miker++
14:36 scottt miker++
14:36 miker which brings us nearly to the end, with:
14:36 miker #topic New Business
14:37 miker does anyone have New Business they would like to raise?
14:38 miker going once...
14:38 miker ok, then, with that I'll go ahead and adjorn, releasing you all back into the wild.
14:39 miker thank you all for your time!  see you next month! (and on the sfc list for Form 1023 collaboration!)

15:33 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1781480 in Evergreen "Activity metric data isn't always retrieved as expected for searches" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1781480
15:38 miker kmlussier: indeed! I still don't see a reason for that, but it's def about location groups
15:41 rsulejmani joined #evergreen
15:43 kmlussier miker: It certainly would explain why I haven't seen it happening when I have tested it in the Indiana and Sitka catalogs. As far as I can tell, they aren't using copy location groups. Or, rather, I can't see any in their library selectors.
