Did you have an idea behing saying that ? 10:13:18 I would suggest for all developers to move to plack, and for production we still have to iron out some caching quirks 10:13:43 paul_p: just providing some statistical info… haven't had coffee yet 10:13:48 yeah i would not run it in production there are still issues with things like sysprefs 10:13:54 dpavlin_ sounds fair. 10:14:04 but the more developers who run it the faster they will be fixed 10:14:21 rangi which issues are there ? sysprefs are cached forever and, if changed, they are not taken into account ? 10:14:22 wap, I have proposal for Koha::Persistant but will fire it koha-dev after meeting 10:14:35 paul_p: exactly that 10:14:46 but only cached in the thread 10:14:53 so 2 threads can have different values 10:14:58 things like that 10:15:14 yap, but we can fix that using unmemoize in right places and/or invalidating our $caches 10:15:19 dpavlin_ with thread dying after 30 requests, won't the correct value being recalculated after at most 30 requests ? 10:15:34 asynchronous notifications could help here, but I don't know if MySQL has them (where an insert or update triggers a message) 10:15:41 paul_p: yap. but 30 requests can be a long time when site is idle 10:15:42 I think to be usable we need a way to make it react to configuratoin changes 10:15:53 its not a mysql, or memoize thing 10:16:02 they are set to a value in the module 10:16:02 it's not helpful when you have to guess when a switch you switched will take effect 10:16:13 kf agreed. Maybe some button in admin-home.pl to "restart" plack if it's possible 10:16:14 kf: 3.8.1 I would guess :-) 10:16:43 * paul_p is impatient to see dpavlin_ Koha::Persistent proposal ;-) 10:16:47 dpavlin_: and 30 requests issuing to a hard due date that is different to another .. could be messy 10:16:58 paul_p: in general, band-aids like that are a bad thing compared to doing it right. 10:17:08 at the very least, I think a little indicator light in the About section to show if Plack/FastCGI/mod_perl are running 10:17:17 oh, and Zebra, too 10:17:24 sekjal++ 10:17:48 eythian++ :) 10:17:49 about 3.8, I also want to thank oleonard for the awesome job he made on standardizing templates ! 10:18:09 (sekjal = another ++ if you submit a patch ;-) ) 10:18:20 s/templates/template vocabulary/ 10:18:23 paul_p: :) 10:18:56 I've had a slow start getting back from Hackfest, but I'm happy to keep at it 10:19:44 * dpavlin_ opened Bug 7895 10:19:48 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7895 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, nengard, NEW , Add Plack/FastCGI/mod_perl server configuration and Zebra info to about 10:19:59 perhaps change assignee :) 10:20:48 are we all talked out on the 3.8 Roadmap stuff? 10:21:07 good work on Plack 10:21:12 lots of awesome things around the corner - sign offers and testers needed :) 10:21:12 Brooke I think so. 10:21:23 as usual... 10:21:27 I've some ideas I'll try to throw in 10:21:32 #topic Roles 3.10 10:21:53 msg magnuse signing off bug 7885 for you 10:21:53 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7885 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, robin, Needs Signoff , Change filename of TransferLog suggested by packages to fit with logrotate 10:21:55 oops 10:21:58 okie dokie going down the list 10:22:09 please +1 for each candidate 10:22:24 RM - Paul Poulain 10:22:27 +1 10:22:28 +1 10:22:32 +1 10:22:34 +1 10:22:35 +1 10:22:35 +1 10:22:36 +1 10:22:36 +1 10:22:37 +1 10:22:38 +1 10:22:39 +1 10:22:40 +1 10:22:45 +1 10:22:46 +1 10:22:53 +1 10:23:00 +1 10:23:01 +1 10:23:07 +1 10:23:50 okie dokie 10:24:07 we're keeping Paul another 6 months before he's eligible for parole. 10:24:20 next we've got Translation Manager 10:24:31 Samuel Desseaux 10:24:44 +1 10:24:45 fredericd: you didn't want to do ti again? 10:25:07 I can do it again... 10:25:09 +1 10:25:10 I am a bit worried because no proposal and he is not here 10:25:17 Who is Samuel? 10:25:26 another frenchie ;-) 10:25:32 I tried to get in touch with him without success 10:25:35 i wonder if fredericd and Samuel could work together 10:25:45 sounds like a plan 10:25:48 (not related to BibLibre at all.

Been there, Done That. 10:59:18 dpavlin_: once we've got a few accepted, we'll start to post titles 10:59:45 * dpavlin_ submited paper at hackfest, wonders about submiting for conf part (with bias towards no) 10:59:53 slef at BibLibre we are discussing of the paper we will submit, don't worry, we will submit some (maybe "a lot" ;-) ) 10:59:54 It would be nice to have a conference not overlapping with "any" other conference also. 10:59:57 * slef rebiases dpavlin_ 11:00:02 s/paper/papers/ 11:00:17 The calls for registrations and sponsors will go out imminently 11:00:28 slef: will answer mails tonight 11:00:30 as soon as someone gets time, basically 11:00:53 and the first batch of invitation letters went out a few days ago but I've not yet found time to edit the web page to say that. 11:01:09 Any other things that people are interested in? 11:01:14 wahanui: kohacon12 11:01:14 hmmm... kohacon12 is http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:KohaCon12 or Conference Tue 5 June 2012 to Thu 7th, Hackfest Sat 9th June-Mon 11th June 11:01:15 slef +1 that was really important. 11:01:32 #link http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/ 11:01:35 How much recording equipment do you have? 11:01:37 slef: will there be streaming or video-after-the-fact? 11:02:17 I think mle confirmed there will be wifi? 11:02:18 slef how many rooms will we have ? one 150ppl large ? 11:02:19 thd: DV camera. Not sure what else. I think mle isn't here right now, so I don't know. 11:02:28 magnuse: we're still checking network capacity. 11:02:31 kf: I think so. 11:02:39 slef: cool 11:02:56 slef: Do you plan to record dev days also? 11:03:12 paul_p: yes, basically one room, at least for the conference. I think we might have a small side room too but my memory may be failing - mle is the best to ask about the venue. 11:03:28 any kind of video of talks during the hackfest would be super cool 11:03:39 slef: audio is very important! might camera have direct link to AV? 11:03:46 thd: yes, but video helpers will be needed to pull it off. 11:04:33 * thd has a conflicting unrecorded conference so recording is important. 11:04:35 dpavlin_: I think so. If not, we'll record AV audio directly and resynchronise them. 11:04:48 slef++ 11:04:53 slef++ 11:05:02 slef++ 11:05:20 slef++ much recording 11:05:26 slef++ 11:06:04 simplest will be if we can stream, because then it can be recorded and made available in one step, but I just don't know. 11:06:24 Any other question? I think I've two things I'd like to ask for your feedback on 11:06:38 1. is it OK to put sponsors logos on http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/ ? 11:06:41 * paul_p must head for lunch, will read logs after 11:07:06 I think if made clear it's sponsoring for the conference - ok for me 11:07:17 * oleonard tries to join paul_p for lunch, fails 11:07:29 slef: would http://www.bigbluebutton.org/ help with recording? 11:08:05 2. we were considering giving sponsors extra perks at around $50 (standard) and $1200 (full monty) - are those the right price points? 11:08:10 while i am all against advertisements in general i would still be ok with sponsor's logos on the conference site 11:08:44 slef: the gap seems a bit wide to me 11:08:45 I have a conflict of interest on this one. :) 11:09:00 we didnt really differentiate at kohacon10 11:09:07 slef: The right price points are the ones which meet the needs. 11:09:09 dpavlin_: I think it requires Adobe flash to send or view so I'm not sure. I think we have better options but the guy with bad eyesight isn't the best one to ask about this. 11:09:17 everyone got their logo on the website, and that was it 11:09:22 BobB: so do we. We want to set prices people will pay. 11:09:38 Slef do you have a budget yet? 11:09:58 or a target for how much you want to collect? 11:10:02 we also didnt have price points .. so i dont really have an opinion 11:10:08 slef: what would the full monty be? 11:10:15 slef: It seems to work in gnash but that does not qualify it. 11:10:45 BobB: I think we need at least $4000, but the budget has lots of variables even now. 11:10:59 Understood. Thx. 11:11:00 BobB: basically more sponsors = better conference. 11:11:08 thd: recordings are html5 FWIW but it does require flash [stops bbb chatter from now] 11:11:24 dpavlin_: things have improved since I last looked. 11:11:56 If you make the entry point $50 you are more likely to raise $400 than $4,000 11:12:17 i dunno 11:12:24 our entry point was $1 11:12:46 rangi: was it diddicult to get all expenses covered? 11:12:46 magnuse: full monty = website, programme, things in the room, things in the pack, logo up big, something else I forgot 11:12:55 i think the companies involved have more ethics than that 11:13:04 slef: both rangi and BobB are correct :) 11:13:09 OK, well just so we all know what the target is. 11:13:13 and know what a reasonable amount is 11:13:36 But (conflict aside) I'm not in favour of favours and don't expect any 11:13:39 slef: Framing by expectation is important but turning away anything offered is bad. 11:13:40 i don't think slef said anything about a minimum amount? 11:13:50 we had VPM to fall back on for everything 11:13:55 kf: nope 11:14:10 so perhaps we should keep it more open? 11:14:17 i agree with BobB 11:14:26 don't have different levels? 11:14:27 No, we'll accept anything as sponsorship. Just more perks at those price points. We're also going to have a class of sponsors for people who give us stuff we need. 11:14:52 slef: what is a class of sponsors? 11:15:04 kf: standard, full monty... 11:15:09 bronze silver gold kind of thing 11:15:11 kf: basically a package of things. 11:15:16 ah 11:15:18 kf: magnuse has it right 11:16:22 * magnuse will sponsor with the same amount as for kohacon10 and 11, and does not expect anything more than being listed somewhere 11:16:24 I think so far we have two sponsors in that class. We're trying to keep that one as small as we can, so we'd like to get the call for sponsors out ASAP 11:16:54 hm 11:17:07 are we all talked out on this? 11:17:11 we have some bigger companies and some smaller - which will give the bigger ones bigger representation I think 11:17:18 yeah im not mad keen on the perk thing 11:17:38 but maybe thats just me 11:17:39 so the feedback I'm taking back is that the gap is too wide? 11:17:42 I am not totally sure it fits our structure 11:17:58 Brooke: We will be talked out when KohaCon is fully funded ;) 11:18:11 I really expect to have only 3 going for the full monty 11:18:36 #topic Old Business 11:18:46 Don't think there are actions from last meeting 11:18:50 lemme know if I'm wrong 11:19:15 you could just do the #topic thing and not change it twice if you want to save keystrokes 11:19:23 There is an issue from last meeting 11:20:04 There had been mention of KohaCon 2012 specific IRC meetings. 11:20:18 oh yeah 11:20:25 didn't mle suggest a date+time? 11:20:26 Are there any? 11:20:43 * oleonard has to take kids to school 11:20:44 Bye all 11:20:47 bbl 11:21:06 slef: mle suggested 19.00 UTC on Wednesdays. 11:21:26 if I recall correctly 11:21:31 thd: that's fine with me. How about others? 11:21:32 slef: is there a need to start meeting? or waiting for the deadline? 11:22:40 kf: you mean not meet until after 20 April? 11:22:53 I am not sure - that's why I am asking 11:22:55 :) 11:23:18 so first meeting today, or on 11th, 18th? 11:23:20 thd: http://meetings.koha-community.org/2012/koha.2012-03-21-18.00.html says 18.00 Wednesdays... could mean 17 or 18 UTC. 11:23:32 slef: meetings with kmkale were sparsely attended as a point of information. 11:23:44 thd: I remember. 11:24:10 kf: let's say 11th, to give people enough notice? Also to see if we can start scheduling papers a bit by then. 11:24:21 ok :) 11:24:22 k that's resolved then 11:24:36 #info KohaCon12 meeting 11 April 18.00 UTC 11:24:49 #topic Miscellaneous 11:24:58 s/19.00 UTC/18.00 UTC/ 11:25:07 I think dpavlin's plack stuff might be helpful here 11:25:34 Brooke: LOL 11:26:14 I have demo of new development tools at http://blog.rot13.org/koha/koha-intranet-cgi-vs-plack.ogv (write-up pending for koha-dev) it's on https://github.com/dpavlin/Koha for people who want to try it *right now* 11:26:37 AARGH!
