Thankfully, I do not do miracles every day :) 02:07:34 anyone have a burning desire to do 3.6? 02:08:23 #info Bob Birchall, Calyx 02:08:30 Sorry I'm late 02:08:48 no problem Bob 02:08:56 moving on to Roadmap to 3.8 02:09:07 it's really early for Frenchies, and I don't see an active Paul 02:09:51 I think its 5am in France 02:10:08 well, I can do the KohaCon11 bit 02:10:12 it was awesome if you weren't there 02:10:16 * druthb cheers 02:10:19 and if you were, you know how cool it was. 02:10:26 tonnes of good chats 02:10:29 This is primarily a good hour for the west coast of the US and Australia. 02:10:34 * druthb is still twitching from the jet lag 02:10:36 hopefully VPM will put stuff up if they've not yet 02:10:46 It was a cool 35 every day - reall cool! 02:11:14 VPM might start an Academy, which I think will be neat if it gets rolling. 02:12:01 Brooke, I know that kmkale collected all the papers - I think he'll do something public with them. 02:12:08 * Brooke nods. 02:12:15 I was more wondering about the electronic feed 02:12:20 but hey, all in good time. 02:12:31 #topic KohaCon2012 02:13:09 How much seemed to be recorded? 02:13:19 long shot, but anyone can confirm if marc21 or unimarc should be used in fiji? I remember being told one of them was pretty much only used in france, but I forget which one haha 02:13:26 virtually all of it, thd. 02:13:31 should be 21 02:13:45 unless there are many, many diacritics. 02:14:12 I'm guessing slef is still asleep as well 02:14:25 Phlunk3, afaik, Fiji is marc21 02:14:26 he left decent notes though 02:14:28 slef had sent apologies to the wiki 02:14:33 so I shall just spout what is on the wiki 02:14:42 Probably 5-7 June 2012 for conference, 9-11 June for hackfest. 02:14:51 4 and 5 June are expected to be Bank Holidays in Scotland (Royal Jubilee) which will probably mean more food, drink and entertainment, but less transport, banking and large shops. Will that screw it up for anyone? It seemed more important to avoid clashing with ALA later in June. 02:14:53 #info Chris Hall, Catalyst IT Ltd 02:14:59 Please use the wishlist page for ideas you'd like the team to bear in mind. 02:15:12 At the moment, the team is just slef and mle, but we've had a few offers of help which we're starting to take up. 02:15:12 slef expects to ask for most help with schedule design and talk reviews and at-the-conference help, but it'd be great to hear other suggestions of what else could be organised remotely. 02:15:12 slef will be doing the fun task of reading the English and Scottish interpretations of the Bribery Act 2010 between meetings tomorrow, because one of his advisors thought it might affect how we do a crowdfunding sponsorship drive. 02:15:13 The two top choices look like indiegogo (more public) and using the co-op's existing payment services (lower fees, especially for Single Euro Payments Area). Anyone thoughts on those or other suggested services? 02:15:49 #idea help with securing accommodations can be done at a distance. 02:16:17 #idea list of folks willing to take on a lodger to save another person expense. 02:16:20 New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 7235] Adding invoice number and vendor name to the moredetail page 02:16:36 Avoiding a conflict with ALA is imperative from a US perspective. 02:16:43 it's not near ALA 02:16:44 * druthb notes that Brooke did a *fine* job of that for Thane. There were some bobbles, but overall I was very happy with Vihang's. 02:16:47 that's at the end of June 02:17:02 Do we know what venue slef proposes to use? If its a university it will have accommodation available in June, I'd guess 02:17:12 I would certainly prefer better transport and fewer bank holidays. 02:17:17 not finalised yet bob 02:17:28 bank holidays are really no biggy 02:17:35 sorry for late checkin. RHCL = Greg Lawson @ Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 02:18:03 anyone else want to leave a pixel trail for slef to get later? 02:18:08 Shop closures and reduced transportation mute the experience of the place. 02:19:17 #topic KohaCon2013 02:19:46 Seriously? That's two years away. 02:20:11 Plan early so that people can schedule funding. 02:20:44 I just drive the bus. Someone else stuck it on the agenda. ;) 02:20:47 Funding to attend is a major issue which must be budgeted well in advance for many. 02:21:05 * thd did not place it on the agenda. 02:21:22 thd, re shop closures in Edinburgh, the Royal Jubilee will be one massive party. There'll be no muted experience! :) 02:21:26 #info Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 02:22:14 Bob, you're helping to swipe the stone of destiny with us, right? ;) 02:22:47 Right! 02:22:53 k, since no one is itching to go into the 2013 can of worms, moving on. 02:23:05 #topic Global Bug Squashing Days 02:24:06 Magnus is also asleep in Europe, I guess? 02:24:06 okay, BobB. 02:24:11 prolly 02:24:38 wahanui - be quiet 02:24:39 BobB: huh? 02:25:23 3.61 is due out on 22. Get to gettin or there won't be much in it. 02:26:21 a hearty thanks to the folks that are working to get the bug metre to be green 02:26:34 #info thanks to all of you diligent bug squashers. 02:26:50 #topic actions from 5 October 02:27:07 so 02:27:08 uh 02:27:11 We had selected Perl coding style. 02:27:14 Liz and I submitted for DML 02:27:27 DML? 02:27:34 the page for submission was super hostile, so I'm not expecting much 02:27:46 the Badge Competition I talked about last meeting. 02:27:53 Oh yes 02:28:23 between that and my presentation, I've a really good idea of stuff, so hopefully at some point the wiki on gamification will get a padding. 02:28:48 don't think that there's much else to talk about from October 02:28:52 I have a question about Perl coding style. 02:29:06 We had selected Perl coding style in October. 02:29:29 you already said that 02:29:30 Paul, myself and others had a concern about the transition. 02:30:04 Does anyone have information from the hackfest about Perl coding style transition discussions? 02:30:16 don't think anyone mentioned it 02:30:21 That is what do we do about the old code? 02:30:52 should phase itself out little by little as code is modified, yes? 02:31:38 That was the sense I had from last meeting but Paul had written about the possibility of an alternative. 02:31:57 An alternative would be a discussion topic during the hackfest. 02:32:28 Was there such a discussion? Brooke does not recall one. 02:32:44 I was in the training sessions though. 02:32:56 Don't tell a soul that someone asked me a cataloguing question ;) 02:33:24 I can ask later on the mailing list. Paul is not here to answer. 02:33:41 s/Paul/PaulP/ 02:34:35 right good plan 02:34:44 #topic Miscellaneous 02:34:49 so 02:34:52 our wiki is ugly 02:35:00 and I'd really like the ability to add pictures again 02:35:06 in especial with the gaming stuff 02:35:13 but every time I try it throws an error. 02:35:29 I was not aware picture upload was broken. I will look at the issue. 02:35:57 What image file format had been rejected? 02:36:12 What size images had been rejected? 02:36:15 not sure it makes a diff, but I usually try jpegs and pngs 02:36:21 and they're generally smallish 02:36:36 just like sometimes it randomly sends me to edit a template which is not cool at all 02:36:45 I think the template edit thing is only when I timeout 02:36:46 It should not make a difference but maybe you wanted some special image format. 02:36:49 instead of asking me to relog 02:36:54 it does mischief. 02:37:12 any other misc stuff? 02:37:30 I have had timeout problems in the past which seemed to go away so I had not continued to pursue them. 02:38:38 Image size could be a problem which gmcharlt would need to correct for maximum file / memory size in php.ini. 02:38:48 #topic time and date of next meeting 02:39:56 so 02:40:05 7 December 6 UTC? 02:40:13 +1 02:40:20 no that's not right 02:40:53 1800 UTC I think... 02:41:00 It may not be right but I like it. 02:41:16 If it rotates in order, shouldn't it be 10 UTC? 02:41:17 meant to be 18.00 02:41:21 then 10.00 02:41:44 so 7 December 18.00 02:42:05 jwagner, the order has a direction which may change from time to time. 02:42:22 In other words, no direction :-) 02:42:31 :) 02:42:33 :) 02:42:58 +1 7 Dec. 18,00 UTC 02:43:13 All done? 02:43:55 yeah as soon as we get more than 1 person agreeing to a time XD 02:44:17 +1 02:44:20 +1 02:44:21 I concur 02:44:26 k 02:44:37 #info 7 December 18.00 Next Meeting 02:44:43 scurry 02:44:46 less than an hour 02:44:49 #endmeeting
