Good luck with your hire 14:24:44 * ashimema only has one dev other than himself right now.. so we're a bit snowed under ;P 14:24:45 fridolin: anything else from you to add? 14:24:45 lukeg++ # on the QA team 14:25:08 fridolin: are we looking for rmaint 20.11 or 21.11? 14:25:22 liliputech: for stable 22.05 14:25:32 its mandatory 14:25:52 lukeg: you did chose oldstable on purpose ? not willing to be stable ? 14:25:52 ok. that one is not installed by biblibre to our partners right? 14:26:05 indeed 14:26:20 we're a .11 shop in ptfs-e these days.. so it's easier for me to commit people to .11 releases 😉 14:26:22 fridolin: I would do either 22.05 or 21.11 14:26:45 Which is actually the hardest? 14:26:46 whatever is needed 14:26:54 there's more to port to 22.05, but the backports tend to be a little easier 14:26:57 lukeg: ahhh super because stable it more work, i may take oldstable 14:26:58 lukeg on 22.05, ptfs on 21.11 14:27:10 stable should be easy at the beginning since it's close to master 14:27:15 though it kinda depends on your next RM and how bold they are at big changes early 14:27:21 But in the end of cycle it's harder 14:27:33 <.< 14:27:55 and you have to deal with dependancies a lot 14:28:04 > ptfs on 21.11 14:28:04 biblibre you mean tcohen ? 14:28:30 but its a famous place, like Prince for the RM king :D 14:28:43 * ashimema hopes so.. I hope to continue to focus on QA next cycle in what little time I'll have for community 14:29:08 sure, RMaints needs mandatory time around month releases 14:29:11 if i get dedicated time for this I wouldn't mind doing it but got to talk about it with paul / laurence first. 14:29:13 Ah ok so clearly, stable is more work that oldstable? 14:29:46 liliputech: yep super, we will mail them with a proposition 14:30:06 tuxayo: i'd say a bit more 14:30:07 fridolin: how much time would it take? approx per week? 14:30:21 around 1h / day 14:30:23 thank fridolin I note that 14:30:28 liliputech, that would be awesome 14:30:39 Lot of patches to test 14:30:44 and I could certainly support anyone who did take on an RMaint role 14:31:03 fridolin: ok. ashimema : 21.11 is interesting version for me, working on a frontend. it bring a lot of new apis 14:31:17 ashimema++ 14:31:24 * ashimema spent a little time every day on RMaint duties.. like I did an hour or two before our company morning call 14:31:46 would have to learn everything. would take some time at the beginning. 14:31:49 its best to do a little everyday and not let things stack up 14:31:52 so 5 hours a week or so.. sometimes a little more sometimes a little less 14:31:58 that's how I managed it anyways 14:32:47 'kay. that mean apply/test/push patches to the main Koha repository on the proper branch right? 14:32:55 OK lets wait new week to see if it changes 14:33:09 liliputech: i will lead you to this role, its easy ;) 14:33:36 lets continue 14:33:37 liliputech: most of the time is doing the test plan. And some is conflict resolution. 14:33:47 ok 14:34:08 it is well described https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Release_maintenance 14:34:15 great that we have good leads to fill our rmaint position :) 14:34:22 #topic Updates from the Release Maintainers 14:35:32 oldstable has been quiet this month so for oldoldstable, I didn't have much to chew on. 14:35:40 rmaints? 14:35:40 i think rmaints is khall, AndrewFH, wainui and tuxayo 14:36:26 yeah, I haven't managed to make as much time for it as I should. hoping to find time for some catchup here shortly 14:36:53 AndrewFH++ 14:36:54 * ashimema wants a time machine 14:38:03 AndrewFH: not complaining, I could QA instead :P But I'll monitor oldstable closely to not get behind. 14:38:22 * tcohen wants a second monitor to keep QAing and following the meeting without completely switching desktops 14:38:23 tuxayo++ 14:39:16 #info Wainui is on leave for a month. It started two weeks ago i think. Rangi took over rmaint this month. 14:39:33 * ashimema is QAing and watching meeting on the second monitor right now 14:39:42 -.- 14:39:45 * ashimema is finding QA slow though.. the meeting is interesting. 14:39:53 #topic Updates from the QA team 14:39:57 qa_team? 14:39:57 qa_team is cait, joubu, tuxayo, marcelr, kidclamp, khall, tcohen, ashimema, nugged, kohaputti, petrova 14:40:03 speaking of qa! 14:40:30 qa++ 14:40:42 qa++! ❤️ 14:40:47 Project Koha_21.11_U22 build #1: UNSTABLE in 1 hr 1 min: https://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_21.11_U22/1/ 14:41:56 we took abroad +1 guy and discussing this week with piloting library to help with pre-release build testing for master branch as we did for 21.11 so same I will provide for Fridoling and Jonathan as before, we just will agree with another our library to help & test build and probably we will start that already from next week 14:42:33 The technique of beginning sorting tickets by small or trivial patches to get started without fearing getting stuck works great. Thank ashimema++ for the advice. 14:42:50 pleasure 14:43:09 nugged++ 14:43:17 nugged++ 14:43:32 * ashimema has not forgotten his promises from hackfest.. just been away and stuff here so haven't got to them yet 14:44:02 ashimemta tcohen: all other things (wikies + props on ill, erm, holdings, circrules: I am preparing, just drown with onboarding for that new guy) 14:44:04 sounds familiar 14:44:08 there's plenty more space on the QA team so sign up peeps: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_22.11 14:44:14 nugged++ and to your team also and the voluntary libraries. Doing that is very valuable to have better releases. 14:44:14 Joubu++ and fridolin++ also. 14:44:25 getting people up to speed on QAing is something I am more than happy to devote time to.. just ask 14:44:25 * nugged not forget so will bring all others to the articles once /me will create 14:45:04 🙂 14:45:40 I'd love to see some other companies represented on the QA team.. InLibro perhaps for example? 14:45:56 qa++ 14:45:56 indeed 14:46:17 they do great work in patching and testig 14:46:28 indeed 14:46:57 hmm.. though looking at the numbers.. I see the NSO queue is the bottle neck right now.. 14:47:06 325 reports in there! 14:48:23 everyone test patches! 14:48:32 I'll attract those my librarians for SO as we agreed on hackfest, I will have next thursday customers meeting, so I am ready to explain them that we wait some regular contribution, so let's check how MY (our) subpart for SO goes in 4-6 weeks 14:48:35 lots of older ones 14:48:54 probably PNA 14:49:16 * ashimema really should fix the ptfs-e sandboxes 14:49:17 ... I mean - to see the numbers and trend in 4-6 weeks from us, from Finland 14:50:19 * oleonard hoped there would be more signoffs coming from librarians at the Hackfest 14:50:48 we tied up some of them with bug scary ones I'm afraid 14:51:03 severine did an awesome job of the patron searching stuff 14:51:15 oleonard: we managed to install a few koha-testing-docker on librarians PC but most of them use corporate-locked windows pcs 14:51:26 oleonard: hackfest - people spent there more experience exchange and socializing & coordinating & training each other, so it was anyway very good gathering 14:51:29 severine_q++ 14:51:54 indeed 14:52:19 nugged: I can also guide librarians to do SO. You can give them my email or IRC nick so it's doesn't only rely only on your team. 14:52:30 I'm certainly not accusing them of laziness! :) 14:53:05 tuxayo: 📝✔️ 14:53:11 ^^ 14:54:07 liliputech in the end koha-testing-docker directly on Windows didn't work well right? 14:54:09 should we arrange another bug squashing day? 14:54:10 some training might be needed though. also some patches need specific commands which are not possible to do on sandboxes 14:54:16 try and encourage a group SO fest 14:54:31 ashimema++ 14:54:44 magnuse used to be the king of arranging those 14:55:19 I think there used to be a "bug squashing day" organized by kohala before, during their meetup. dunno if they still do it 14:55:35 liliputech: the symposium? 14:55:40 yen 14:55:42 yes 14:56:20 ByWater has a Bug Squashing Event scheduled for May 3 14:56:32 That's perfect! 14:56:34 aha, excellent 14:57:03 information should be shared on the koha-devel newsletter :) 14:57:24 newsletter + mailing lists 14:57:31 (might already...) also to koha-info user group :) 14:57:34 yes 14:57:39 https://bywatersolutions.com/education/celebrate-open-source-with-this-bug-squashing-event 14:57:54 Who can add that to the community calendar? 14:57:54 bywater++ 14:58:04 that'd be wizzyrea ? 14:58:19 I can 14:58:23 tuxayo: it is already in calendar 14:58:35 oh yes.. so it is 14:58:44 I only see "Hard feature freeze" 14:58:52 Friday, May 6, 2022 14:59:31 Bug Squashing Event 14:59:31 Tuesday, 3 May⋅4:00 – 6:50pm 14:59:43 oh it's the 3 may! 14:59:45 great! 14:59:46 bug squashing will likely be on bugs not features 14:59:59 I'll start advertising it in the UK too 😉 15:00:01 hence the name "bug squashing" :P 15:00:09 "May the tree be with you" 15:00:18 XD 15:00:32 pity it'll be on US timezone... (that makes the 4'th for french people? ^^) 15:00:37 nugged: you can mention the bug squashing event at you meeting next thursday. 15:01:11 bye 15:01:24 liliputech: If some people to guide tester are available in europe hours, the bug squashing can start early. 15:01:51 tuxayo: ok yes noted 15:01:55 That doesn't change the date though? 15:02:18 11am US = 4pm UK 15:02:20 that would be cool. I'm sending a mail to french community already 15:02:22 so not too terrible for us 15:02:38 * ashimema would be happy to start early here 15:02:42 same here then I guess. 15:03:12 same, we can be here early on with european librarians 15:03:52 moving on? 15:03:57 that means if we do the afternoon on 3 may, we will be in sync with US afternoon, that's great :) 15:04:13 I meant US morning 15:06:01 Yes, we can start on our morning in the afternoon have some overlap with the Americas. 15:06:02 #topic Actions from last meeting 15:06:08 « tuxayo send ideas to have an easier time with big changes to koha-devel to get more of them and document them » 15:06:09 done 15:06:24 « tuxayo add to terminology "use restriction, not debar/debarment" and notify koha-devel in case that wasn't a good idea. » 15:06:24 done 15:06:29 #topic General development discussion (trends, ideas, ...) 15:06:34 🙂 15:06:37 « Vote on using Vue3 for the new ERM module (as a proof of concept of the framework) https://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2022-April/046998.html » 15:06:46 +1 15:07:07 So Joubu needs a greenlight to continue the new ERM module using Vue3 15:07:37 did you hear anything from batman nugged? 15:07:43 I could not say, knowing to few on JS frameworks 15:07:52 same 15:08:18 well.. tomas and I both think we should go for it.. and I think jajm seemed happy too 15:08:21 but confident Joubu as choosen wisely 15:08:34 oleonard and kidclamp both made positive noises as well in our call at hackgest 15:08:46 so to me.. I think we should go for it.. pull the band aid off 15:08:51 ah jajm is our JS ninja so green 15:08:57 Agreed 15:09:00 jajm wasn't that sure 15:09:01 :_D 15:09:08 ashimema: «and I think jajm seemed happy too» That changed from the beginning, right? 15:09:17 we've been circling around a JS framework for years.. I don't think we'll gain anything from delaying further personally 15:09:20 even 51% sure is ok 15:09:29 jajm: around? 15:09:39 overall we agreed 15:09:45 hmm, ok 15:09:53 I can't remember details from jajm then 15:10:04 he had concerns about the extra boilerplate with no obvious gain 15:10:10 yes 15:10:22 yes, exactly what tcohen just said ;) 15:10:32 boilerplate compared to another framework.. 15:10:33 but the conversation circled around new technologies inviting new devs to contribute 15:10:40 a jajm apears :D 15:10:45 or compared to jQuery and our current way of doing things? 15:10:54 and we had paulderscheid[m] working on his project with a similar structure 15:11:05 ashimema: he somewhat away from messengers these days, still not read my message. I wasn't insistent - and this went away from focus, I will re-send email him, but we found the answer those days - it's just to know, not to switch, vue3 is came through these years a lot and svelte still "so small" in community so moving harder 15:11:19 but I will anyway bring his answer, thanks for reminder. 15:11:51 I vote +1 for adopting Vue3 as a POC, not sure about jajm's vote 15:12:58 +1 15:13:35 jajm: overall, does that looks like a gain compared to the current approach? 15:15:07 > adopting Vue3 as a POC 15:15:07 POC but still means going in Koha and be released. POC as it's only for ERM and we will see the results to tell if future developments can use Vue? 15:16:53 We can still vote here and ask also in the mailing list to have a wider reach. 15:17:12 Encapsulated module inside Koha, that will be funcional and will serve as playground and we will eventually generate guidelines for using it on other pages 15:17:36 +1 for the POC, but when it comes to move Koha as a whole that's going to be a lot of work. might introduce breaking change in graphic personnalisation or some plugins which relies on JS+DOM to insert new element on a page. 15:17:58 I assume that replacing every use of jQuery with vue.js is not intended at least not at this time. 15:18:26 thd: it is not 15:18:54 #startvote Shall Vue3 be used for the new ERM module?

And have web interface promoted for that channel as well other easy-to-join bridges 15:46:19 that's a nice idea 15:46:48 > This channel is quiet 95% of the time these days 15:46:48 oleonard: indeed, but if you come to read history and be just librarian you'll be scared. But yes, we can let this opinion ripe for a moments later, 15:47:01 I think that might best be done once we've made it easier for the general public to use.. I still hear complaints about irc even though I personally think it works ok 15:47:28 ashimema: complains even with the webchat? 15:47:39 * ashimema hopes oleonard likes that he just filled his inbox 15:47:42 pass 15:47:55 the webchat feels very dated too 15:48:02 ashimema: 👍🏻 15:48:15 I think people are just expecting slack, whatsapp, disourse or whatever 15:48:31 telegram bridging will help with that 15:48:32 signal?++ 15:48:40 oleonard: sometimes name of channel "allows" people to be more brave when they noobs, + same topic of channel with some hint "don't afraid ask dumb, we won't freak" and also previous history they will see 15:48:50 Ah yes 15:49:34 let's setup a bbs like in the goldays (good old days?) 15:49:36 > telegram bridging will help with that 15:49:36 let me anyway bring POC of this as I said on hackathon, so we will see, I just will ask 1 month (around) please, /me drowning :) but badly want to make that 15:49:52 > the webchat feels very dated too 15:49:53 The one used by libera.chat is great. 15:50:24 interesting 15:50:38 keep it simple, and free 15:50:44 and opensource i mean 15:50:52 indeed 15:51:02 People are always expecting whatever is most familiar and not whatever is most helpful or good for freedom. 15:51:32 my proposal: 15:51:32 - bots to be separated. 15:51:32 - rmaint channel we have, I'll call frido and joubu and others to join or others calls me, when needed and time comes 15:51:32 - let us our feeling about more channels like "koha-userhelp" ripe for some time 15:51:32 - I'll bring telegram bridge like we did for Perl community (YAPC conferences) so let's see this too + we bring more other tools (matrix, etc) - so let's arise this quesiton one again in a month or around 15:53:27 If people want to use Telegram we could let them have a bridge. We could still have a modern libre/open source choose promoted first on the website. Like a better IRC webchat and Element/Matrix. 15:54:06 nugged: okay let's got with this :) 15:54:24 > rmaint channel we have 15:54:24 "rmchat" actually 15:54:38 rmchat, thanks, sorry. ok 15:54:42 So let that sink for some time and move one? 15:54:44 *on 15:55:11 +1 15:55:53 kiwiirc is indeed pretty and modern looking.. that would be a nice replacement for our web chat 15:55:53 anyhow 15:55:56 moving on 15:56:06 I like all nugged suggestions 15:56:16 #topic Set time of next meeting 15:56:39 Shall we aim for NZ, Tahiti and Americas for next meeting? 15:57:50 (can't do Australia, current DST it can't reach South America east) 15:58:49 good for me 15:58:56 Last time it was great to have some people from NZ and fridolin can't every time come in the middle of night. 15:59:51 was it 22:00 UTC ? 15:59:52 It would be the 11th due to general meeting 15:59:52 ok for me as well 16:00:10 https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting_6_April_2022 16:00:45 21 actually 16:00:54 This time we make it 9:00 am for NZ 16:01:04 Wait 16:01:08 21 UTC 16:01:49 I though it was about french mainland time but it 21 UTC 16:02:14 11 May 2022, 21 UTC 16:02:29 11am for me 16:02:42 thanks for the double check 16:02:48 22h for french is that right? 16:02:53 23 16:02:59 ouche. ok 16:03:39 It should still be Wednesday I think.
