Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 18:02:16 <huginn> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic. 18:02:17 <wahanui> if there is a meeting then Brooke must want me 18:02:18 <jcamins> JoeLib001: can we try troubleshooting after the meeting? 18:02:23 <slef> #topic Introductions 18:02:24 <wahanui> #info wahanui, a bot that has become sentient 18:02:41 <jcamins> #info Jared Camins-Esakov, C & P Bibliography Services 18:02:46 <slef> Welcome to a maybe very short KohaCon12 meeting. Please introduce yourself like wahanui just did, but putting #info at the start of a line. 18:02:47 <cait> #info Katrin Fischer, BSZ 18:02:57 <slef> Please excuse my slowness but I don't have a script handy. 18:02:59 <thd> #info Thomas Dukleth, Agogme, New York City 18:03:00 <jwagner> #info Jane Wagner, LibLime/PTFS 18:03:30 <slef> #info MJ Ray, software.coop, East Anglia... no, wait, that was last week... West Country, England 18:03:46 <slef> #topic Questions 18:03:57 <slef> jwagner: how about now? 18:03:58 <wahanui> now is probably good time with holidays coming up 18:04:08 <JoeLib001> #info 18:04:11 <jwagner> Did you get my email of May 14? I haven't gotten an answer 18:04:58 <slef> jwagner: err. I don't remember it. What was the question? 18:05:09 <slef> or I'll go look for the email if it's not suitable for the public 18:05:15 <jwagner> I am not going to be able to attend in person, but I can do my presentation remotely 18:05:38 <jwagner> Is it Skype? 18:05:45 <slef> ah, right, that's a shame but we should be able to do a remote presentation. 18:05:48 <slef> I'm hoping not Skype 18:05:55 <jcamins> jwagner: mle should be back on Monday, at which point we'll try to get ekiga/linphone working. I'm in the same boat. 18:06:08 <jwagner> I have no clue how to use any of that.... 18:06:19 <jcamins> jwagner: me either, but I'm sure it'll be easy. 18:06:21 <jwagner> I was going to get a Skype tutorial from a friend, but you don't want to use that? 18:06:22 <slef> I'm hoping for something like linphone or ekiga or jitsi or something with video, or using something like Bambuser with a telephone back-channel? We may have a Grade A+ uplink so I'd prefer not trying to avoid Skype making us a backbone router :-/ 18:06:45 <slef> if you see what I mean 18:06:54 <jwagner> OK, I will await the (hopefully easy) instructions :-) 18:06:58 <jwagner> Thanks 18:07:15 <slef> when I worked at a university, long ago, Skype was notorious... I don't know if it's still the same 18:07:34 <slef> We'll find a way, but it'll won't be this week. 18:08:00 <thd> Skype must be even more notorious now that Microsoft own it. 18:08:04 <slef> I'd suggest sending over slides+script and maybe getting a volunteer to agree to help deliver it if all else fails. 18:08:26 <jwagner> OK, will work on that. The only format I can do is .ppt 18:08:43 <slef> thd: heh. Not sure universities care if Microsoft own things. 18:08:54 <cait> jcamins: you could perhaps convert to pdf then 18:08:55 <slef> jwagner: we should be able to read that, but may be using LibreOffice to display them. 18:08:58 <cait> hm jwagner 18:09:08 <jwagner> as long as you can read the file 18:09:14 <slef> jwagner: I'm 90% sure we'll have time to check all files ahead of time. 18:09:17 <jwagner> Thanks 18:09:30 <slef> jwagner: there will be an email with projector specs this week 18:09:43 <slef> #info there will be an email with projector specs this week 18:10:16 <jwagner> OK, that was my question. Anyone else? 18:10:27 <slef> #info email kohacon12 AT software.coop with any questions for most reliable answering. 18:10:47 <thd> LibreOffice should work fine as long as you avoid some extreme features of PowerPoint. Be careful about trying to embed videos in a Power Point presentation. 18:10:48 <slef> #info or koha AT lists.katipo.co.nz if can be made public 18:11:07 <cait> I have bad experience with graphics 18:11:17 <cait> if you use the drawing options of powerpoint 18:11:21 <thd> text rules 18:11:24 <cait> safest then might be convertig to pdf 18:11:26 <jwagner> Mine is mostly text, maybe 1-2 screenshots 18:11:27 <slef> #info or our phone numbers and international access numbers are on http://www.software.coop/contact/ but try for 9-5 UK time, please 18:11:34 <cait> screenshots should be no problem 18:11:51 <slef> any other questions? 18:12:21 <cait> slef: I haven't updated the wiki with the new info from your mail 18:12:37 <cait> travelling this week 18:12:44 <slef> cait: it wasn't meant f... oh wrong mail 18:12:57 <slef> ok, let's move to this 18:13:03 <slef> #topic Roadmap to KohaCon12 18:13:25 <slef> I emailed a roadmap update to volunteers about an hour ago. 18:13:26 <cait> slef? 18:13:27 <wahanui> slef is an avid cyclist 18:13:47 <slef> Does anyone who hasn't seen it want to see it? 18:15:01 <thd> Is there anything of general note on the roadmap? 18:15:06 <slef> And relatedly, is anyone not on the volunteers email list who wants to be? 18:15:26 <slef> thd: yeah, "*** Katrin is a hero!" 18:15:33 * cait is not 18:15:48 <wizzyrea> cait is also a hero 18:15:50 <wahanui> okay, wizzyrea. 18:15:57 <wizzyrea> cait? 18:15:58 <wahanui> That's Ms. Cait to you! or in a very good mood today :) or a librarian, you will get wahanui's information or a hero 18:16:07 <wizzyrea> mhm. 18:16:50 <slef> thd: I think the main thing is I think we now have just enough sponsorship to avoid being absurdly spartan, following the mail-emailing of support companies. 18:17:38 <slef> thd: registrations are now about 70 and we're finally seeing more UK registrations and we've only just now had our first failed registration 18:17:55 <thd> What is a failed registration? 18:18:05 <slef> in that case, they didn't tick any boxes 18:18:14 <slef> so sent us their info, but aren't attending anything 18:18:28 <slef> I queried it and they've not replied. Not sure what was going on there. 18:18:39 <cait> I think you can't do more 18:18:43 <slef> hrm, I should be noting this 18:18:52 <slef> #info now about 70 registrations 18:19:26 <slef> #info now barely enough sponsorship, following mass-emailing of support companies and some anonymous donations - thanks to everyone who has chipped in 18:19:47 <slef> #info mle is sorting the network out, but we may need an extra access point 18:20:07 <slef> And two questions: 18:20:26 <slef> Do we want to meet up on Monday 4 June, 6pm, Library bar? 18:20:44 <slef> actually, I'll only ask that one... other one can be skipped 18:21:15 <thd> What is the Library bar? 18:21:15 <wahanui> the Library bar is the first branch created and foo is the second 18:21:41 <slef> the Library bar is also a bar next to the conference venue, at the front of Teviot 18:21:42 <wahanui> okay, slef. 18:22:12 <thd> Is that the name of the bar, Library Bar? 18:22:19 <slef> yes 18:22:22 <wizzyrea> apparently they have those all over the world. :) 18:22:29 <jcamins> thd: anyone in the area will know where it is. 18:22:40 <slef> it's in Teviot 18:22:57 <jcamins> slef: I know.
