09:04 Dyrcona A song for our time, though it's over 20 years old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVrsysLIUAM
09:09 rfrasur Dyrcona++
09:09 Dyrcona rfrasur: Glad you like it. :)
09:10 rfrasur I love the barking dog lots.  And the song.
09:12 Dyrcona :)
09:13 Dyrcona For anyone who works in a library or even for libraries, which is most of us, I think this might be good to listen to: https://www.imls.gov/webinars/mitigatin​g-covid-19-when-managing-paper-based-ci​rculating-and-other-types-collections
09:13 Dyrcona Call it personal development.

10:10 Dyrcona Rescheduled medical appointments, again and again....
10:20 rfrasur And for awhile, I suspect
10:26 Dyrcona Yeah...
10:27 rfrasur I'm closing on a house today.  Of all the asinine things in the world.
10:28 * Dyrcona looks at the training server crash and suspects some update to set a bunch of dates to 4/1/2020 or thereabouts, because it looks like the daily triggers caused pgsql_tmp to fill up.
10:28 Dyrcona That's great! rfrasur++
10:28 Dyrcona Meanwhile, I can't my eyes checked for new glasses or my teeth cleaned. :)
10:29 csharp rfrasur: congrats!  I've been thinking about all the people trying to buy/sell houses right now and it has to be scary and weird
10:29 rfrasur I think it could be?  I dunno.  In different times, I'd probably be more excited.  In times as they are, I'm just glad to get it over with.  Am buying with middlin' son who is in Seattle, who will be going to a UPS store to deal with PoA stuff later today, too.  It's a crazy thing.
10:30 alynn26 Dyrcona,  Break your glasses and they will.  My husband broke his, and we got him a new pair.
10:30 rfrasur csharp, this whole process has been crazy and weird.  Add in the VA/NFCU, etc. etc.
10:30 rfrasur alynn26++ # yep, just karmaed ya up for suggesting broken glasses.
10:31 Dyrcona Buying and selling real estate is weird.
10:31 rfrasur (and used the word "karmaed"; the world is ending...not really)
10:31 Dyrcona The world is always ending...gradually, then suddenly.
10:32 rfrasur Dyrcona, I've done it before.  It was nothing like this crazy insanity of a ride.
10:32 rfrasur Dyrcona++ (and beginning)
10:32 Dyrcona Well, to quote a Danish songwriter: "Every ending is a new beginning."
10:32 Dyrcona Tina Dico, for those who are interested.
10:33 Dyrcona Yay! Now ,I get to wade through a 7.7GB log file!
10:34 alynn26 Dyrcona, you can do it.
10:34 csharp Dyrcona: oof
10:34 Dyrcona alynn26++ # For encouragement and the suggestion of breaking my glasses.
10:34 csharp or better yet, break an older pair :-P
10:35 alynn26 csharp, better idea, they want know the difference.
10:35 Dyrcona Seems like a lot was going on the night of April 1st.
10:36 Dyrcona I've had the same glasses since '98 or so.
10:36 Dyrcona I don't have an older pair, but do I have a spare pair....In my car, I think.
10:36 alynn26 You really need a new pair
10:36 Dyrcona I do.
10:37 Dyrcona I have for a couple of years. My prescription changed recently, but only slightly, so I didn't bother.
10:37 rfrasur lol, Dyrcona - can we all right letters of recommendation to your optometrist?
10:38 Dyrcona Thanks, but what's another month, and then another, after 20 years?
10:38 * rfrasur , meanwhile, had to look around for her glasses that have become more and more invaluable.
10:38 berick the baller move is to walk in and break them in front of the eye dr.
10:39 Dyrcona berick++
10:40 Dyrcona So, thinking about the age of the data on the training server, I suspect it was one of the mark lost/overdue triggers that blew up on Wednesday "morning."
10:41 csharp berick++
10:42 rfrasur berick++
10:42 mantis1 joined #evergreen
10:43 Dyrcona Yeahp... 33,116 items that were due on 3/3/20.
10:44 alynn26 That would do that.
10:44 Dyrcona And, 15,691 due on the 17th.
10:47 Dyrcona Think I'll stop running action triggers for a while on training.
10:47 Dyrcona So, either mark lost or some combination of mark lost and some of our overdue triggers.
10:50 JBoyer berick++
11:22 Dyrcona Well, now, I'm stumped because it turns out that the overdue and mark lost triggers don't appear to have been set up to run on the training server....

14:06 dluch #info DIG Roles can be found at https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.p​hp?id=evergreen-docs:digparticipants
14:06 dluch We are going to do some quick business items, but let's try to get through them fairly quickly...
14:06 dluch (Also, dang, this is a lot harder with only one screen, lol!)
14:06 dluch #topic Business
14:06 Topic for #evergreen is now Business (Meeting topic: 2020-04-02 - Documentation Interest Group Meeting)
14:06 dluch #info Update on Documentation server move
14:07 dluch gmcharlt: (or anyone) This is done, yes?
14:08 dluch We had a meeting a couple weeks ago (?) right before everything went wonky, and several of us got logins
14:08 alynn26 I was hoping to attend that meeting, but I had another one at the same time.
14:09 dluch alynn26: \Yes, I remember now. gmcharlt was also going to get you access
14:09 Bmagic Server is up and running. Bare bones right now
14:09 dbwells joined #evergreen
14:09 Bmagic eg-docs.georgialibraries.org/prod/
14:09 dluch Okay, thanks.
14:10 alynn26 what can we do to help flesh it out.
14:11 Bmagic The antora stuff is on there right now - I'm not sure about any other pieces that need to be hosted there (if any). I think there are some. Perhaps the SQL->HTML generator?
14:11 alynn26 It looks really good.
14:12 dluch Yes, it does!
14:12 Bmagic All of the legacy documentation will need to be copied over. Keeping the links the same
14:12 dluch Yeah, that's what I was remembering, too...we'll need to copy stuff over
14:13 dluch I'm going to move on, and we can talk about it in more depth next meeting or after business, maybe, in collaboration time.
14:13 dluch #info Quick update on Antora progress
14:13 dluch remingtron and bmagic: Where are we with Antora nav progress?
14:14 Bmagic I made some tweaks to it during the server setup. I think* it's all been addressed
14:14 dluch Awesome!
14:14 dluch bmagic++
14:14 alynn26 Bmagic++
14:14 alynn26 Remingtron++
14:15 dluch So, are you still wanting us to go in and look for more things to tweak?
14:15 dluch remingtron++
14:15 Bmagic need click-through's and testing though
14:15 alynn26 I did notice the index was not working.
14:16 dluch Haha, okay, cool. We have that as an action item from last meeting...everyone go through and test things, so keep doing that!
14:16 Bmagic I had a thought the other day> If we merge this branch into master, it will delete the current docs stuff (which is fine as long as all of the latest stuff has been forwarded to the antora branch as well) - I was trying to think of a way we could query our git repo to see if there are any non-merged branches that touch /docs/* files?
14:16 abneiman Bmagic: very good thought
14:16 abneiman (n.b. I have no idea how to do that, though)
14:17 Bmagic probably some clever bash tricks for it. Haven't looked into it further than just thinking about it.
14:17 dluch So, bmagic: you good doing some more exploring/thinking about it?
14:18 Bmagic yes
14:18 dluch Sweet
14:18 dluch Want an action item for it?
14:18 alynn26 Bmagic++ exploring++
14:18 Bmagic sure
14:19 dluch #action bmagic will think about and explore how to query our git repo to see if there are any non-merged branches that touch /doc/* files
14:19 dluch bmagic++
14:19 dluch #info Quick update on DIG Bug Squashing Week Activity
14:20 dluch I know here it was totally insane during Bug Squashing Week, so I did nothing. I assume the same for you all. Did anyone get docs worked on at all?
14:20 dluch With the 3.5 release getting pushed back a bit, we have a little more time, so that's good.
14:20 alynn26 I had plans for Bug Squashing week, then the Governer sent us all home.
14:21 alynn26 I've not even looked at them recently. To many other issues getting staff connected remotely.
14:21 dluch Yep, me, too (well, not the governor, but our city and county sent us home, lol)
14:21 abneiman I had good intentions for BSW (even told Bmagic I'd look at docs stuff) but then everything happened
14:22 dluch Yep. I think we're all in the same boat. Let's not stress too much about it atm, but try working on docs as we can squeeze it in.
14:22 Bmagic what happend?
14:22 Bmagic (lol)
14:22 dluch eyeroll
14:22 abneiman ha!
14:23 alynn26 Bmagic, have you seen the news? :)
14:23 alynn26 lol
14:23 dluch Okay, moving on, lol
14:23 dluch #info Discussion: Ways to promote DIG info and Docs-related sessions without in-person Conference
14:23 dluch We had several DIG- and docs-related sessions for the conference in Atlanta, which is now cancelled, of course.
14:24 dluch As you hopefully saw earlier, Outreach Committee is working on organizing a virtual conference
14:24 alynn26 I am planning on doing the AsciiDoc Session if there is an Virtual conference.
14:24 alynn26 or when
14:24 dluch alynn26++
14:24 adurrence virtual conference ++
14:24 dluch definitely
14:24 abneiman let's say "when" :)
14:24 * abneiman crosses fingers
14:24 alynn26 Also, I can do the presentation anytime for anyone.
14:25 dluch and abneiman++ for spearheading it!
14:25 adurrence abneiman++
14:25 dluch I forgot to change up the agenda after we had the outreach meeting yesterday, so I guess really discussion should be on whether other folks are willing/able to do their presentation for virtual conference
14:26 adurrence I think Benjamin and I will be glad to do ours - depending on timeframe and barring conflicts
14:27 dluch Excellent! adurrence++ benjamin++ (I don't know what his nick is, lol)
14:27 adurrence (me neither)
14:27 adurrence lol
14:28 abneiman all planned presenters should've received an email from me this morning, asking if they are willing to retool their presentation(s) for a virtual conference - so if you are a presenter please let me know if you want to partake (abneiman@equinoxinitiative.org)
14:28 Bmagic maybe BAMkubasa
14:28 adurrence yep, we haven't had a chance to chat about it yet
14:28 abneiman and if interest groups want virtual space to meet, that's cool too, but similarly let me know
14:28 adurrence sound right
14:28 dluch Thanks, abneiman! So, we don't need to hash it out here, jusst let abneiman know!
14:29 dluch I was thinking that since IGs have dedicated meeting times already set up, we probably didn't need one...but there's something to be said for seeing each other...
14:30 dluch (also, my s key is only working half the time, lol. Weird!)
14:30 abneiman yeah, the groups that meet regularly probably don't need to do something special, but groups that only meet at the conference might want to get something together.
14:30 dluch True
14:31 dluch I'm going to move on to the next discussion thing, then we should still have good time for collaboration
14:31 dluch #info May DIG meeting
14:31 dluch The plan we decided on at the last meeting was to hold this April meeting, then have the in-person hackfest and DIG meeting at conference, and no May meeting. Since there's no conference, I think it would be fine to have the May meeting. But I'm also fine if everyone would like to not do so. Thoughts?
14:32 alynn26 I say lets have the May meeting.  Hopefully, we will have time to do some docuementation between now and then.
14:32 abneiman +1 to May meeting
14:33 dluch Great, thanks! May meeting it is!
14:33 dluch #info We will catch up on other action items at business at the next meeting
14:33 dluch #info Anything else pressing?
14:34 dluch Hearing nothing, we will move on to
14:34 dluch #topic Collaboration time
14:34 Topic for #evergreen is now Collaboration time (Meeting topic: 2020-04-02 - Documentation Interest Group Meeting)
14:35 dluch What is everyone planning to work on today?  Please let us know here, and feel free to talk and work with each other.  If you'd like extra accountability, I can make an action item to show up in the minutes, but it's not necessary.
14:36 Bmagic The landing page on the antora docs still has a <title>untitled</title>
14:36 Bmagic <title>Untitled :: Evergreen Documentation</title>
14:39 dluch Like, should it just be Evergreen Documentation with the Untitled removed?
14:41 dluch Also, everyone, in my haste hopping back and forth between my meeting outline and here, I forgot to just ask at the beginning...How is everyone doing right now?
14:42 abneiman dluch: this tweet really summed it up... https://twitter.com/MeredithIre​land/status/1245359302300360712
14:43 adurrence :)
14:43 jihpringle yup :)
14:44 dluch LOL, that's perfect
14:44 Dyrcona abneiman++
14:45 alynn26 https://twitter.com/UnHelpDesk/st​atus/1239915255054155776/photo/1
14:45 dluch alynn26++
14:45 dluch also perfect
14:46 dluch (though I was the vpn person earlier this week, lol)
14:46 abneiman Bmagic: question - (this may have been previously answered but I can't recall) - will past versions of docs be moved over to Antora? If not, there should be a) an easy to find link to past versions and b) an indication of what versions you're looking at in antora
14:46 abneiman alynn26++
14:47 abneiman so maybe that should be in the title, if possible: "3.4 :: Evergreen Documentation"
14:47 alynn26 The other issue is people crashing our Reporter, Wanting ridiculous reports.
14:47 dluch Good point, abneiman!
14:47 alynn26 I'm thinking title should be Evergreen Documentation :: 3.4.
14:48 dluch alynn26: lol
14:48 dluch Hmm. Yes, alynn26, that does seem more logical
14:48 abneiman alynn26: so, since it shows in the browser tab, I was thinking that having the "narrower term" (so to speak) made sense first. But not a hill to die on.
14:49 alynn26 I see your point their also.
14:49 dluch Ohhh, I didn't think about that
14:49 alynn26 Either way would work for me.
14:51 dluch yep
14:59 dluch We are just about at time.  Thanks for all the great work, everyone!  Feel free to keep going after the meeting!

15:22 Bmagic abneiman: the last I heard - the plan was to NOT port older docs to antora - just moving forward with antora from {whenever we start}
15:24 Bmagic The older docs will live in their current format with links to them on the new server
