11:41 csharp_ kkk
11:42 csharp_ oops - my keyboard test came through :-/
11:56 * mmorgan often types when keyboard focus is not on the intended window and wonders where those keystrokes end up.
11:58 * Dyrcona also.
11:59 * Dyrcona wants "focus follows brain" for the GUI, but that would likely require an implant that I'm not interested in having.
12:00 berick haha, vim'll get ya
12:20 Dyrcona Multiple monitors...when the active window is in the other one.
12:20 * Dyrcona doesn't use vim.
12:22 Dyrcona If they tell me there's only 98 records in this 40,440 record export again....Then I'll blame "smart" quotes and/or UTF-16.....
12:24 Dyrcona Think I'll ask if they can take MARCXML if that's the case.
12:24 Dyrcona It'll bloat the file, but that's what XML is for: sell more storage.
12:30 * Dyrcona makes a copy converted to XML just to see how big it is.
12:31 Dyrcona Over 3x bigger.... 194MB versus 63MB.
13:08 * Dyrcona will likely be late to the meeting this afternoon.
13:10 Dyrcona I'm looking at the Redis HA/LB branch and so far it's working for me in a non-HA/LB environment. I'll comment to that effect on the bug this week. If I knew more about how to set it up, I could probably test it with HA/load balancing.
13:39 jeff Was there a list of "we'd like to see more talks about these topics" shared somewhere recently? I didn't see it linked from the CFP, but I could have overlooked it. I know someone recently said "reports".
13:40 BAMkubasa joined #evergreen
13:41 BAMkubasa Global flag "opac.located_uri.act_as_copy" (When enabled, Located URIs will provide visibility behavior identical to copies.) Anyone have a sense of the implications of turning this on? We were finding that having it off means we can't add e-resource records to a bucket, but weren't sure if we turned it on if there would be other unintended
13:41 BAMkubasa consequences
14:04 Dyrcona I'm not sure that turning it on allows you to add e-resources to a bucket. If I remember correctly, it pretty much only affects display in the catalog.
14:05 mdriscoll joined #evergreen
14:05 gmcharlt there's some documentation of the effects of the global flag here: https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/docs/latest​/cataloging/cataloging_electronic_resource​s.html#_adding_a_located_uri_to_the_record
14:07 gmcharlt the visiblity implications mostly matter to consortia where some members may license e-resources that are not licensed to other members of that consortium
15:00 Dyrcona It's meeting time. Is anyone interested?
15:00 gmcharlt I've got a few updates to give
15:00 abneiman +1
15:01 Dyrcona Ok, I'll pull up the meetbot cheatsheet.

15:05 Dyrcona #info Dyrcona (me) has been looking at it without load balancing and it's working so far.
15:05 collum joined #evergreen
15:06 Dyrcona I'll update the bug later this week. I'd like to test it with load balancing if I can figure that out.
15:07 Dyrcona I don't think there's much else to say about that, so...
15:07 Dyrcona #info csharp_ will look at Debian 13 compatibility
15:07 Dyrcona #info That's also done and in the main branches for both Evergreen and OpenSRF.
15:07 Dyrcona It think it went in before the December meeting.
15:08 Dyrcona Now, for the good stuff. :)
15:08 Dyrcona #info gmcharlt will issue call for 3.17 and 4.0 release teams in an hour or so
15:08 gmcharlt call issued!
15:08 gmcharlt updates later in the agenda
15:08 Dyrcona Ok, moving on then.
15:09 Dyrcona I'm going to put the next two together since they also involve gmcharlt.
15:09 Dyrcona #info gmcharlt will raise a call for a working group to recommend translation infrastructure changes
15:09 Dyrcona #info gmcharlt will initiate thread/call to action on the GitHub transition
15:09 gmcharlt both working groups established and held their innaugural meetings
15:10 gmcharlt a bit more to say about both later in the agenda
15:10 Dyrcona OK.
15:10 Dyrcona #info dluch will propose a session on bug-reporting tools and possible transitions for the 2026 Evergreen Conference
15:11 Dyrcona Not sure if dluch is paying attention, but I'm not sure this needs to be carried forward to the next meeting.
15:11 Dyrcona We'll just assume that she did.
15:12 Dyrcona Moving on in a moment.
15:12 Dyrcona #topic OpenSRF Release Info
15:13 Dyrcona I don't think we have anything for this, but thought that I'd ask.
15:14 Dyrcona #topic Evergreen Release Info
15:14 Dyrcona #info 3.17 release manager - Galen Charlton (gmcharlt)
15:15 Dyrcona #info Call for 3.17 release team members
15:15 Dyrcona #info Proposed general release date: 29 April 2026
15:15 Dyrcona Anything, you want to add gmcharlt?
15:15 gmcharlt I'll also send the call to mailing list, but anybody wants to volunteer to join the 3.17 release now, feel free!
15:16 Dyrcona I already volunteered, I think, but if I forgot I'm volunteering now.
15:16 gmcharlt thanks!
15:16 Dyrcona #action gmcharlt to call for 3.17 release volunteers on the mailing lists
15:17 Dyrcona Anything else to add before we move on to 4.0?
15:17 gmcharlt no
15:17 Dyrcona OK.
15:18 Dyrcona #info 4.0 release manager - Jason Stephenson (Dyrcona)
15:18 Dyrcona Hey, that's me! ;)
15:18 Dyrcona I'm hoping it will be a smashing release with all the new features and OpenSRF merged into Evergreen.
15:19 Dyrcona If not, we may rename it to 3.18, but I remain optimistic.
15:19 Dyrcona I feel like I should take an action item, but it seems a bit early. Maybe later we'll set up a roadmap.
15:20 Dyrcona Is there anything to say bout the December releases or upcoming January releases?
15:22 abneiman we need a team for Jan

15:26 Dyrcona It's on the agenda, but there's usually nothing to discuss, so I'll wait a short minute before moving on.
15:27 Dyrcona #topic Documentation
15:28 Dyrcona Anything from DIG or otherwise documentation-related?
15:29 Dyrcona Ok. then, prepare for the statistics flood. I hope it's up to date. I didn't check.

15:33 smayo joined #evergreen
15:33 gmcharlt timeframe we're shooting for is to have completed documentation in hand for a transition in March to have GitHub be the primary place for making pull requests
15:33 Dyrcona I'm going to info that to get it in the minutes.
15:34 Dyrcona #info documents of the GitHub WG can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde​rs/1reBTYZ2JpkRiNTwfaRqhBDdpUlTN8XNE

15:37 Dyrcona gmcharlt++
15:37 gmcharlt we're working on requirements-gathering and identifying some services to try
15:37 gmcharlt we may be stuck with LP for 3.17; we'll see if that can be made to work
15:38 gmcharlt also, I received confirmation from the LP powers that be that they have no plans on providing support for automated translation branch management for Git repos, so reproducing the bzr-based workflow will not be an option
15:38 csharp_ eww
15:38 gmcharlt that's my update unless there are questions
15:38 Dyrcona :(
15:40 Dyrcona Well, I guess we pre-empted the next one ealier, but I'll throw it in the minutes anyway. (I should have read the agenda more carefully before starting the meeting.)
15:40 Dyrcona #topic Point Releases next week
15:40 Dyrcona Looks like the assignments are already filled.
15:40 Dyrcona So, moving on..... to
