I use Git heavily for Koha; I'd be happy to contribute to such a preconference. If we still need someone to take the lead on this, I would volunteer. I cannot speak to Git v. SVN, unfortunately, but I'd very much like to learn more about the topic. Cheers, -Ian On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 9:56

Cool, I'll add this to the wiki, then. Anyone prefer morning v. afternoon? Afternoon is currently empty, so I figure it'd make sense to default there for now. Unless folks want to talk about Git for the whole day Giving the session a cute name... git lends itself well to such. I'm in no

Afternoon is great. I am willing to help present. I am not excited about doing a git /subversion comparison, and would rather see the time filled with git specific info. There is certainly enough of it to keep us busy. I am not a raconteur, but a couple years ago, when the Drupal migration from

[CODE4LIB] Can a library automate without a computer yet?

2011-09-23 Thread rowan eisner
Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but if anyone can point me in the right direction... We have an unstaffed library and can't leave a computer in it. Is there a way to automate 1) with no computer - do circulation and catalog in the cloud. Volunteers bring in laptops to do circulation and

Rowan- Having a hosted catalog and circ system seems very easy to do. There are several open source library systems such as Koha and Evergreen that might suit your needs: http://www.koha.org/ http://open-ils.org/ Are there volunteers present the entire time the library is open to borrowers?

Thanks Esme No, the library is open all hours but volunteers just come in 2 hrs a week. I'm not sure how it could work but if we leave anything plugged in it will get stolen or struck by lightning. We're in cloud forest. With koha and open-ils do we have to run the software on a server or do we

I think it's going to be difficult to find a solution that's entirely cloud based. What functionality do you need? If you have a very limited subset of ILS/OPAC functions in mind, theoretically a LibraryThing paid account or similar quasi-library service might suffice. I'm having trouble

If I recall correctly, Librarything has a some kind of check-in/check-out functionality, intended for people who use their personal collection as a lending library. I'm signing into my account to check right now. - Dave On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 11:51 PM, rowan eisner rowaneis...@gmail.comwrote:

They don't, actually. My mistake. How are you imagining the check-in/check-out working when there aren't volunteers - a sign out sheet? If all you want is essentially a sign-out sheet attached to a database of your collection, it wouldn't be hard to whip something up, or use an existing solution
