Hello, Some news regarding the hackfest: * 30 ppl can fit in our new office, 35 is probably OK * There's a location, just in front of our office, that could rent us an additional room (for up to 20 person). I meet them next week to confirm it can be done, I'll open the registration once I've seen them * we'll probably move outside for lunches, I'm still searching for the best option here. * our new address is : 23 rue Fauchier, 13002.

Re: [Koha-devel] Good enough?
follow-ups could be squashed into the original patch. We don't need unnecessary tons of entries in our git log for that. For instance, I usually add a "JD Amended patch: perltidy" for instance when I tidy the original patch, to keep track of the modification. Squash can be done by the original author, the QAer, the RM. So yes, you are losing one commit in the stats but the git log is easy to read! We could have an "Amended-by" marker if we really want to add credit on the dashboard (and/or release notes). 4. Run tests. Don't wait for Jenkins to fail. This is valid for the author and QA. Anticipate the failures by running more tests. If you are modifying C4::Circulation, then run prove on t/db_dependent/Circulation*, not only Circulation.t. It will help you catch edge cases. When something is pushed, track down jenkins failures that could be caused by your patches. 6. Be strict if you are QAing. Each QA member has their own "good enough", and the RM as well (either relying on the QAer or providing a full review). But QA must fail if the code is old Koha style code, or not "good enough". 7. Provide support for failing tests, fix things you broke. The QA team will be more comfortable with your patches if you show them you are providing support for your stuff. It's not because it's pushed that you don't have any more efforts to make. Provide follow-up patches you promised, provide bug fixes, etc. We don't have a good way to keep track of such demands, which does not make tracking easier for devs, QA and RM. Any suggestions? 8. QA team MUST NEVER* pass QA a change that is not covered by tests, never. You should not provide change to modules without tests! * almost never... 9. Stick to existing patterns. We should not have different ways to do the same thing. We should not have different places where a code is doing the same thing. Ask for help or advice on the list or IRC before you start coding. We will be happy to guide you. Even if you are a regular Koha developer it's not always easy to be aware of the latest master changes. We will tell you what's the current good practice, or point you to examples you could reuse for what you want to implement. 10. CI should drive the pushes. No more push if CI is not green. The more we wait the harder it is to track down the origin of the problem. Last cycle some jobs have been red for months, and we released 22.11.00 with D10, D11, D12 marked unstable... What will I do next cycle? All of that, and more. I will track down jenkins failures and responsibilize developers telling them when they break tests (and won't fix them anymore as I have been doing for years). I will raise on the bug reports what could have been improved. Yes, read that I will be even more annoying (to put it politely) than before. I've noticed that the pre-commit git hook on the wiki has been broken for more than 3 years. And also caught some core developers that do not have it in place. I am relying on it to keep Vue files tidy so it's important to have it set up properly. I am planning to force its usage for ktd users [2]. Adding more checks to it will help us to catch inconsistencies from the beginning. To summarize, writing code is cheap, maintaining code is way more expensive! It is easier to get the attention of developers before the patches are pushed to master than after, so we could be more ambitious and ask more.

Re: [Koha-devel] Long-term support version of Koha (bug 31008)
Hello David & others, Good thing to have a LTS, my main question is about the ecosystem around Koha. For example, how to manage Koha LTS regarding Debian/Ubuntu/Elastic Search/MariaDB... upgrades ? How can we be sure that, in 2 years, Koha LTS will become "unmaintainable" because it requires a Perl library that can't be upgraded and the underlying tool (OS, search engine...) isn't maintained anymore in the compatible version ? I hope that it's a theoretical question that will never become reality, but it has to be asked I think. Good day everyone Le 22/06/2022 à 01:44, David Nind a écrit : At the Development IRC meeting on 8 June 2022 the issue of having a long-term support version of Koha (Koha LTS) was discussed. (It has been discussed and proposed in the past.) Summary === General agreement was reached that: 1. A long-term support (LTS) version of Koha would be for 2.5 to 3 years 2. We would start with oldstable (which is now 21.11) 3. There would be an LTS maintainer role for each cycle (there is no expectation that this is the same person for up to three years - it is preferable that it is someone different each cycle) 4. The mandate for the LTS version would cover: . security fixes . things that are broken (such as APIs (external), dependencies (such as Elasticsearch), etc), and . essential back ports only, once past oldoldstable 5. It would be an irregular release - only when something is needed once past oldoldstable 6. We would inform the Koha Community about the LTS version of Koha, what it is, and what it means for support (including updates to the website, mailing list, manual section on supported versions, etc) Next steps Your feedback is welcome on the proposed LTS version of Koha. Feel free to provide this however you wish, including replying to this email, IRC, and on bug 31008. It will then be discussed again, and the approach confirmed at the next available Development IRC Meeting (ideally this would have been the 22 June 2022 meeting, but I've just sent this email!).

Hello world ! According to my announced agenda, BibLibre is supposed to invite you for a Koha hackfest in Marseille, March 28th - April 1st. The pandemic is at a high level now, but specialist are optimistic for the next quarter. So, I'd like to be optimistic too and say : "OK, let's do it ! we'll meet in Marseille in late March". As usual : the hackfest is open to anyone willing to contribute to Koha, not only to developers: librarians are warmly welcomed and can contribute a lot ! It's a hackfest so no schedule, we decide day after day who work on what. If you can't join us for the whole week, that's OK, but joining 2 days is a minimum, 3 days being better (and 5 days the best, of course ;) ) And as usual, there will be the legendary French cheese lunch ;) If you want to join, just drop me an email ! -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries ___ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : https://www.koha-community.org/ git : https://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : https://bugs.koha-community.org/

Re: [Koha-devel] My dev list for 22.05
Hello all, Regarding this topic : why not also investigate the new data models that will replace MARC ? We store the data in original form (marcxml) and move to biblio/biblioitems a part of the data that is useful for basic operation (like getting the title and the author). We could import different data models with the same mechanism (RDA, DC, ...). The biblio_metadata.format and schema fields were created with this idea in mind. That would require an additional layer for transforming format/schema to internal Koha and many more things, it's a long term goal. Le 01/12/2021 à 12:55, Jonathan Druart a écrit : 3.

Yesterday a bug (28929) was reported about a possible privilege escalation. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28929 It is confirmed and is highlighly critical in some cases, and stay critical in all other cases. It's really bad. Basically we are missing filtering on patron's data when we create or edit a patron. Which means a user can edit whichever info they want, by modifying the DOM of the page. And, it includes borrowers.flags (that's where it hurts really badly). It impacts both OPAC and Staff interfaces. What you should do: 1.

[Koha-devel] Fwd: Critical security bug in Koha!
Je vous fais suivre ce mail de joubu, si qqn peut se pencher dessus et contribuer à le résoudre... (me tenir au courant svp) A+ Message transféré Sujet : Critical security bug in Koha! Date : Wed, 1 Sep 2021 11:34:23 +0200 De :Jonathan Druart Pour : Martin Renvoize , Paul Poulain , Nick Clemens , Tomas Cohen Arazi , David Cook , Philippe Blouin , Marcel de Rooy , Andrii Vashchuk , Katrin Fischer , Chris Cormack , Galen Charlton , Mason James , Owen Leonard Hello everybody, If you get this email I am expecting from you to talk about it to whom could be concerned. Yesterday a bug (28929) was reported about a possible privilege escalation. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28929 It is confirmed and is highlighly critical in some cases, and stay critical in all other cases. It's really bad. Basically we are missing filtering on patron's data when we create or edit a patron. Which means a user can edit whichever info they want, by modifying the DOM of the page. And, it includes borrowers.flags (that's where it hurts really badly). It impacts both OPAC and Staff interfaces. What you should do: 1. Reduce the risks! * Disable PatronSelfRegistration (!) * Disable AutoApprovePatronProfileSettings (!) or you can totally disable OPACPatronDetails 2. Make sure the staff interface is not accessible to the world 3. Remove old librarian accounts 4. Something else you have in mind? If so, please share! Then you should (or ask your team to) help us. We will need people on the bug to: 1. Write patches and discuss the best approach to fix the different issues (there are patches already) 2. Test! and test!

Re: [Koha-devel] remote training on Koha & covid-19
Hello all, I've started a wiki page : https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Remote_training Le 16/03/2020 à 04:38, dc...@prosentient.com.au a écrit : Sometimes we have to do remote training for geographical/financial reasons. On our end, we just need to use software that allows us to share our screen and audio/audiovisual, so that we can demonstrate / lecture. Then on their end, they can use a computer lab, a meeting room w/ BYOD (bring your own device), or some combination like that so that they can follow along, participate, talk to each other, pose questions, etc. One thing to note is that participants seem to have less energy for remote training than in-person training, so we tend to only book half-day remote training sessions and just do more of them. Obviously, it's also harder to monitor their progress, since you can't look over their shoulders and do as much one-on-one work. There might be software solutions to help with that. (Like muting the group but being able to share screens with only an individual, so you can see what they're seeing and comment on their particular situation.) But I don't have experience with that. I think in-person training tends to be more effective (like in-person university classes really), but I think remote training is a useful substitute.

As announced previously, it will take place in BibLibre office, Marseille, France, March 23-27 Some explanations for those who need them: * the hackfest is NOT a developer week. it's a week for anyone willing to contribute to Koha, whatever the kind of contribution (testing, documenting, ...) * the hackfest is free of charge (but you'll have to deal with your traveling costs, of course) * you can come for 5 days, or less. Don't come for 1 day, it's useless. coming for 2 days is very frustrating. Coming for 3 to 5 days is perfect ! * 40-45 ppl fit in our office.

[Koha-devel] Urungi for building dashboards on Koha database
Hello koha-devel, First of all, happy new year ! This new year comes with a finalized version of Urungi and availability of some dashboards & layers for building your own dashboards & reports. I'm happy to share all our work with the Koha community, and would be even happier with some feedback, suggestions, and contributions ! Urungi Urungi can be downloaded here : https://github.com/biblibre/urungi/releases Some new features since v1: * export reports and dashboards in PDF or PNG * theme management. Urungi 2.1.0 is provided with 2 themes for theming your dashboards in a few clicks. More themes can be added easily, it's just a CSS * a reports or dashboard can now be made public, ie available through an URL, without any login * Minor improvements: o you can rename a field when building a report, to have a more meaningful legend o crossed reports are based on HTML table, more consistency with other reports Urungi-data Urungi is pretty an empty box without the proper layers and some dashboards for Koha. That's why we've created another repo, where we store & publish them. You can find them on a specific repository, available at : https://github.com/biblibre/urungi-data You'll find there what we made for french UNIMARC libraries. I'm looking for some volunteers who would like to translated them to English. It's pretty easy even if you don't speak french for the French>English translation, a little bit more tricky for the MARC21 specific things. If you want to work on that, just drop me an email, I'll give your some directions on how to do that. Note that someone is already working on a translation to Spanish Contributing How to contribute ? As usual you can submit issues on github if you face any problem or would like a feature to be added. Urungi is currently available only in English and French. If you want to translate (Urungi, not Koha layers/reports/dashboards), welcome https://github.com/biblibre/urungi/tree/master/language Demo platform our demo, based on our koha demo, is available at: https://intranet-demo.biblibre.com/urungi/ login bibliotheque password 9sDDn3o11T It contains layers, reports and dashboards that are available on urungi-data Feedback welcomed ! I would be more than happy to have feedback on Urungi, urungi-data, features, bugs, dashboards. Feel free to share any work you do.

[Koha-devel] Hackfest meeting about Mana-kb
Hello all, We had a quite productive meeting regarding mana-kb during the hackfest. We had many ideas regarding improvements / new features that could be added, I've created a bugzilla entry for each idea. Below is a summary of our work reminder : and "object" is something that is shared through mana. For now, subscription patterns and reports can be shared. * there's a web interface (ui.mana-kb) to look at data, and delete old/outdated. The idea is to curate data regularly. Anyone can apply to become a curator of the data in mana-kb. New features idea : o add a button "apply as curator" https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23738 o prepare some SQL queries that could show librarians contributing a lot, and proposing them to join the list of curators https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23739 o Let curators flag a content (3 values : non-flagged / hide this object, to be discussed for deletion / 'star' this object, it has a high quality/value) https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23740 * Sharing reports guidelines https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23741 o When you share a report, Koha could check if there's a runtime value to set (<>). If there's none, add a confirmation checkbox, most useful reports need a runtime parameter. o Add a hint : "do not share a report with hardcoded value related to your own data" that is displayed when the librarian want to share a report * Languages checks are made on the full language code (fr_FR). We need only the first 2. Thus, reports with language fr_FR are displayed also for our canadian-Quebec friends (same thing for en_EN, en_US, en_NZ, of course) https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23742 * In the admin/share_content.pl page => show if a token has not been validated yet https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23743 * In the result lists (for object (reports, ...) searching, add a column with the language of submission, that can be filtered/sorted https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23744 * in ui.mana-kb : https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23745 o hide the token column, a curator does not need to know the token of a librarian o add a feature 'resend token' => resend the validation email to the librarian * In Koha : check that the associated email is an email, to avoid unvalidable tokens https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23746 * replace a local Koha object by a mana-kb one: currently, it's not possible to modify a local object with one coming from Mana-kb. Add this feature, 2 sub-features: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23747 o if the local object comes from Mana, have a message "hey, the mana object has been updated, clic here to update your local one" o if the local object is 'home-made', add a button "update from mana-kb" that let the librarian search in mana, and update his local data. * "golden mana-kb contributor": we expect to have some librarians contributing very efficiently and frequently. Those librarians should be able to update existing mana objects. The golden mana-kb contributor is given by curators, coopt/consensus. The golden contributor status can be given for reports and for subscriptions, separately. -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries ___ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/

Re: [Koha-devel] announcing Urungi, business intelligence made easy for Koha
Hi Magnus & others, Urungi can't be compared to Grafana, the goal of both tools are not the same. The goal of Urungi : "make librarians being able to build their own statistics and dashboard by drag-and-dropping". The goal of grafana : "The leading open source software for time series analytics" (motto on the 1st page) The keywords here : * Urungi= building dashboard *by* end-users. Grafana = building dashboards *for* end users * Grafana = time series analytics. Urungi = generic. For example : "how many active patrons do I have by category and their registration library, zipcode starting by '13%' " ? I don't think it's feasible with grafana. With Urungi, it's done in less than 10 seconds (once you have the layer) HTH Le 15/03/2019 à 08:50, Magnus Enger a écrit : > Bonjour! > > And congratulations Paul & BibLibre!

Enabling Cache::Memory if Plack is not running will not help as we
have the L1 (in memory) cache, which is used in any cases (and flushed
under Plack before a request is made).
I do not know how is our caching system understood by the team. I can
try and write something on the wiki if it can help. Hint: there is no
black magic :)

I'm a bit hesitant on this. I understand running without a cache makes
things like tests easier, but Cache::Memory is actually a pretty useful
fallback. There's a lot of code in Koha that does redundant fetches of
e.g. framework data, and without caching I'm afraid it will slow down
significantly. Cache::Memory is very handy when developing stuff to
speed up execution of e.g. batch utilities when you don't want to mess
with constantly flushing Memcached.
I would like to propose another approach for considerarion: disable
Cache::Memory only if running under Plack.

Hi devs,
I am still recovering from my holidays and I think I caught a quite
big fish.
After an interesting track game I will explain why I am suggesting to
remove Cache::Memory that is currently used as fallback for the L2
cache.
What I tried to fix:
Jenkins is complaining about selenium tests (regressions.t) failing on
18.05, it is a succession of events and bugs that were not linked at
first glance.
Here are the different steps I went though:
- On bug 21426 we noticed that USE_MEMCACHED was not taken into
account. If set to "no" the default memcached config was defined in
the koha-config.xml file anyway
- A new regression selenium test was added on bug 21777 to catch the
presence of an audio alert on the circulation page
- Investigating the failing tests I noticed that koha-testing-docker
was not setting the memcached config on the 18.05 branches (I guess
the image has not been rebuilt yet)
search_utf8.t output "Warning: script running in daemon mode, without
recommended caching system (memcached)."
- I also find that [% Koha.Preference('AudioAlerts') %] did not return
the value set by the tests, but the value that the DB has before the
tests were launched
=> It is a cache issue!
- ...but only when memcached is not set...
- Reading Koha::Cache->new we can notice that Cache::Memory is used
for the L2 cache when memcached is not defined in the config
And so we have the problem: If a value is set in the cache by a Plack
worker, it will not be available from another one, as the L2 cache is
not shared (!)
To recreate easily the problem you can:
- remove the memcached config
- edit intranet-bottom.inc and add
===[% Koha.Preference('AudioAlerts') %]===
- restart plack
- Modify the value of AudioAlerts (using the UI)
- Reload the page (reload several times if the value is still correct,
it will depend on which worker will serve the request)
Solution:
I am considering removing Cache::Memory unless somebody else has a
better idea
Bug 21955 - Cache::Memory should not be used as L2 cache
Note that it should not affect a lot of people as everybody is
supposed to have memcached configured and working correctl

While using phpMyAdmin to view the contents of the 'biblioimages' table (relevant screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/cSEVLBI), we noticed that the size of the BLOBs for the 'thumbnail' column was in some cases twice as big as that of the 'imagefile' column. In fact, this happens for more than 50% of uploaded covers as you can see from the output of the SQL queries below: mysql> SELECT COUNT( * ) AS count FROM biblioimages WHERE LENGTH( thumbnail ) > ( LENGTH( imagefile ) * 2 ) ; +---+ | count | +---+ | 1356 | +---+ mysql> SELECT COUNT( * ) AS count, SUM( LENGTH( imagefile ) ) AS images_size, SUM( LENGTH( thumbnail ) ) AS thumbnails_size FROM biblioimages ; +---+-+-+ | count | images_size | thumbnails_size | +---+-+-+ | 2347 |68323933 | 115839686 | +---+-+-+ It would appear that for each 160px-wide JPG with 24-bit depth that we have uploaded, the 'imagefile' column has been populated with an PNG of 8 bit depth with the same dimensions as the uploaded file, whereas the 'thumbnail' column contains a 24-bit PNG image with a width reduced to 140 pixels.

Re: [Koha-devel] roadmap to LRM support ? [was Re: What is biblioitemnumber for?]
I agree with the idea of catalinking, and/but I think that most of the catalinking will be done by national repos (like BNF, LoC, ...) That's why I think/feel that we should focus on linked data display first. And that's one of the reason why we (BibLibre) started the "Explore" project (see my talk at the KohaCon18 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIByWcvIj5Q) we're continuing to investigate, try, fail, retry, ... I also think that academic library point of view will differ a little bit from public library pov. Le 21/11/2018 à 13:07, Stefano Bargioni a écrit : I also like to speak from a "cataloguer first" point of view. I mean: with RDA and LRM, cataloguing is moving to ... catalinking [1]. It is an intellectual job, that the staff UI has to support. Of course, in the background a robust data structure (oriented to objects and links among them) is required. And good (linked) data are IMHO necessary to build a powerful search interface. So, can Koha evolve up to this vision, where maybe Bibframe and MARC21+RDA have to be present at the same time? A lot of work, I'm sure, that requires (not only) new funds. Ciao.

Re: [Koha-devel] What is biblioitemnumber for?
Koha v1.x has no MARC support. In fact, it was the first FRBR compliant software ever, long before FRBR exist... (who says Open Source is not innovative :D ) More explanation: in Koha v1, you had to enter a minimal biblio description (title, author(s), subject(s)) THEN one or more expression of the work (one large print, one readed book, one pocket, ...), THEN the different items. Very efficient and handy. When I wrote the MARC code, I had to break this 3 level management (MARC has only 2 levels, biblio and items). In Koha 2.0, you had the option to stay "basic" of "marc" cataloguing. It has been removed in Koha ??? (2.2 or 3.0 ?), only MARC cataloguing remained. At this time biblioitems table became useless/should have been merged, but no one coded/hacked it. But yes, it can be removed (unless we want to keep it for future advanced support of FRBR :D ) Le 17/11/2018 à 20:40, Barton Chittenden a écrit : Just out of curiosity, why does biblioitemnumber exist?

Re: [Koha-devel] Koha users wiki page outdated, use HEA
Hello Liz, Le 23/08/2018 à 04:39, Liz Rea a écrit : Hi Paul, No objection really, using Hea is a good thing and I recommend libraries enable it. We should make asking about enabling it the last step of the onboarder [is it there already? I forget...]. :) What I would like to see, is a lighter weight checkin to hea, where if you (or your IT department) were feeling a bit wary about sending all of your syspref stats to Hea, you could send only your Library name and contact information, if desired (Koha could, of course, provide things like the currently running version) as a one off. This idea sounds surprising to me: sharing sysprefs in anonymous way look less sensible than sharing library & contact. That's why we wrote HEA with only 3 options: share nothing / share data anonymously (including syspref) / share everything. In your idea, what about numbers already shared (like # of biblios, patrons, issues, ...) ? should they be sent with syspref or with library name/contact ? OTHER : do you think it's an option that will result in more libraries being on HEA ? I recognise this is a feature request for Hea :D and I think I'd be happy at some stage to build the bits into Koha that were required to have the feature, if it seems like something desirable to have in addition to the auto reporting. I have other ideas about how one-off data could be used too, for example you could flag those libraries if they never updated automatically (or done an additional one off submission later) in Hea "this library hasn't reported in for a long time - this entry may be suspect." Those could be in an entirely separate list, too. Could also email the contact automatically "hey update your entry if you're still using Koha!"

[Koha-devel] Koha hackfest in Marseille & https://reasonablegraph.org/ platform
Hi koha-devel, I had a hangout with Nikos (in cc:) , from Reasonablegraph. reasonablegraph is a platform (L-GPL) that is able to deal with MARC records, transform them into FRBR / Bibframe /linked data. They made some work with Koha (http://unioncatalog.reasonablegraph.org/?lang=en, click on "Search" top-left) At the end of Nikos demo, I suggested him to come to the hackfest for a day or two, in order to present reasonablegraph to anyone interested, and talk about any possible collaboration between Koha community and reasonablegraph. He will probably come. That's another very good reason to come to Marseille in March :D -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries ___ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/

[Koha-devel] Hackfest in Marseille, registrations open !
Hello everyone, As already announced, the next Koha hackfest in Marseille will be in March, 12th-16th. Registrations are open !!! Should I explain what is the hackfest ? OK, for newbies, I explain. That's a week for anyone interested in being involved into Koha. About 50 persons, librarians and developers, from France and other countries, meet to: * meet * test * document * translate * patch * talk * share * show * try * miss ... and ... retry * discuss how to conquer the world (at least libraries...) * eat and drink (OK, drink, it's after day-work. And it's not mandatory) The FAQ: *Q= what are the conditions to come ?* A= none, except wanting to contribute to Koha *Q= What is the cost ?* A= it's free (but BibLibre does not pay for traveling fees, hotel, or food) *Q= where does it take place ?* A= Marseille, 108 rue Breteuil, in BibLibre office. We provide coffee, desk, chairs, internet, video-projectors and cookies (many people come with their local candies) *Q= can I come only for a few days ?* A= yes, but at least 2 days, in just one day, no time do contribute anything. *Q= I need an official letter* A= Just drop me an email, I'll send one *Q= I have no laptop* A= tricky... we don't have any spare laptop, and it's hard to contribute without laptop... *Q= how to register ?* A= easy : drop me an email *Q= What about hotel, transportation,...* A= You'll be added to a Google doc when you register. *Q= I've heard about a cheese lunch, can you explain ?* A= lunches are organized by BibLibre, in our office (there's no restaurant large enough in the area), and each lunch has it's own theme. The legendary "cheese lunch" includes 30+ different french cheese, in a huge buffet (with some salads...). So you'll discover a part of French gastronomy. This year, it will be tuesday 13th (I've been asked a few times: "when is the cheese lunch, I can't be here the whole week, so I want to be here for the cheese") *Q= I'm veggie, can you take care of me ?* A= yes, for sure. Just tell me when you register *Q= I'm vegan, can you take care of me ?* A= sorry, but no, too complex. You'll be on your own.

Re: [Koha-devel] newbie would appreciate help!
Hi Johan, The most common case when search does not work is because there's some mix between UNIMARC and MARC21 (for example, zebra configured MARC21 and Koha UNIMARC). But there can be other reasons. So we need details on how you installed Koha. Le 04/12/2017 à 09:18, Johan Seyfferdt a écrit : Hello. Thank you for adding me to this mailing list. I have a question.

Hi Kyle & al, Some comments : * About [17196] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17196> Move marcxml out of the biblioitems table = o shouldn't it be also at the header, to be clearly visible (the warning about SQL report not working anymore) ? o are you sure of "SQL queries on the marcxml data will get a performance boost" ? I think it's "SQL queries that use biblioitems bot not marcxml data will get a bit performance boost" * there are a lot of enhancements related to internal/plumbing. That's great. But as they are, in the Release Notes, my feeling is that they are so many that other enhancements are "lost". * i'd like to see HEA v2 ([18066] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18066> ) promoted in the header, as well as ElasticSearch progress (various patches) * [17855] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17855> New onboarding tool feature to guide users through setting up Koha, and minor web installer UI improvements => it's in "new feature". Shouldn't it be in "enhancements" instead ? Same feeling for [14224] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14224> patron notes about item shown at check in * [12461] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12461> Add patron clubs feature => deserve some details ! * shouldn't * [17486] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17486> Remove 'Mozilla Persona' as an authentication method be in the header of the RNotes ? * shouldn't [17762] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17762> Ability to translate notices be considered as a new feature ? * [17960] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17960> Rename opac_news.new with opac_news.content NOTICE - If you are using opac_news.new in your notice templates, you should update it to opac_news.content o => it should be in the header (easy to miss it) * at the end = The branch for this version of Koha and future bugfixes in this release line is *bug17618-qa*. => just to double check: it's auto-generated and will be correct in the final release, isn't it ?

Re: [Koha-devel] Gender-neutral pronouns
I'll probably be poorly ranked here, but in my opinion there are more important things to fix in Koha... (randomly chosen: clean the wiki from severely outdated pages, test one of the 205 patches waiting for sign-off, improve documentation, investigate why we have 10 blockers or critical bugs open -without a patch-, one of them BZ14731 being >1yr old) additional comment: note that changes not related to code comment will change translations & translators will have additional work to do to fix. Le 19/04/2017 à 02:25, Eric Phetteplace a écrit : Hi list, I opened bug #18432 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18432 because I saw several places in the Koha codebase where the pronoun "he" was being used to refer to a generic third person who could be of any gender. Jonathan Druart noted that this should be a coding guideline, as otherwise new instances of gendered pronouns might continue to be added. Perhaps it belongs on the "Terminology" page of the wiki? So here's my proposal. I'm trying to be concise. *Use gender neutral pronouns* * * When referring to a person who could be of any gender, you should use the words they/them/their. This goes for code comments, text in templates, and strings in tests. For example, here's a string from a patrons test updated to be gender neutral. Before*:* * * is( $total, $enrolmentfee_K + $enrolmentfee_J, "Kid growing and become a juvenile, he should pay " . ( $enrolmentfee_K + $enrolmentfee_J ) ); After: is( $total, $enrolmentfee_K + $enrolmentfee_J, "Kid growing and become a juvenile, they should pay " . ( $enrolmentfee_K + $enrolmentfee_J ) ); Gender neutral terms are preferable for a few reasons. They're more welcoming, showing that Koha expects users and contributors to be of any gender. They're also more accurate. Inappropriately using a particular gender can cause confusion, leading someone to believe that code operates differently based on the value of borrowers.sex, for instance. I hope that's clear. I'm happy to reword it, and to attend the next Koha developers meeting to explain further if need be.

[Koha-devel] Introducing mana (and requesting mana-kb.koha-community.org)
Hi, BibLibre is working on a project, called mana [1]. This project will try to build a global knowledge base for library data. It will be partly tighten to Koha, and partly not. For every data on Mana, we will provide micro-services (RESTFUL API) to : * query the kb and retrieve data * push data into the kb * let mana users declare a given data outdated or wrong. For now, mana handle: * subscriptions models: a weekly serial is weekly for everyone. With Mana, Koha users (and possibly other ILSes) will be able to quickly prepare their subscription management. * reports. This is 100% Koha tighten, because it's related to sharing SQL queries. But that will be very useful for all Koha libraries to share and quickly retrieve SQL they can run in a few click on their local DB. We are also developing an interface to clean mana-kb data. In the next weeks we will add social data: "give me an ISBN, I'll give you user reviews, user tags, user rankings". This will not be tighten to Koha at all, even if we will implement the mechanism within Koha. There are many many other data that could be stored in this KB: * kbart and ONIX-PL files for electronic resources * vendors/contact * "patron that read this also read that" * It could even include bibliographic data ? [although it would probably result in a huge DB, out of scope for now] * some specific Koha setups (libraries can add some tweaking to Koha, using JavaScript. We could have a DB of tweaks) I presented this project yesterday during the hackfest. People were quite enthusiastic ;-) The first bug should be ready to be signed-off in the next days (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17047) BibLibre is willing to host the mana server, I propose to use a sub-domain of koha-community.org. Could we have mana-kb.koha-community.org and mana-test.koha-community.org defined and pointing to 91.121.55.79 ? That would be very helpful to signoff patches. Also note that we're already filling the database with subscriptions informations coming from our customers. If you want to add your existing data, drop me an email, I'll send you the SQL you must run on your Koha to create a CSV file that we can easily import into Mana-kb. [1] why mana ?

Re: [Koha-devel] Horizon to Koha migration
Hi Peter, We (BibLibre) made many migrations from Horizon to Koha. And we have a former employee of SD working with us. He wrote some documentation about exporting from Horizon. It's in French, but I'll send it to you anyway, google translate will help. I hope it will help. (and if you need professional support, feel free to ask ;-) ) PS: introducing who you are would be nice. Le 24/01/2017 à 15:27, Peter Fanter a écrit : Hello, has someone experience, or provide me with documentation, with what one must do, in order to make a migration, from Horizon to Koha? We have access only to a Horizon database, so we can only run sql queries, and we must get back, as much as possible info needed.

[Koha-devel] Matthias working on Coral <> Koha interface
Hello Koha & Coral lists, I'm happy and proud to announce that in the next 3 months, Matthias will work full time on Coral <> Koha interface. He can be dedicated to this task thanks to 3 companies that joined their strength and money to make this possible: Ebsco (45%), BibLibre (40%) and ByWaterSolutions (15%) He will start by playing the new features and installer of Coral 2.0. Then he will improve the specs I've written (and already sent to some/most of you. If you want them, just ask). Then he will code. Things he will work on : * rebase the Coral <> gokb interface and officially submit it for inclusion into Coral. That will be a first step and framework for later inclusion of Ebsco KB. * work on linking Coral and Koha acquisitions modules: share organizations/vendors, budgets, create basket in Koha from a given Coral acquisition workflow, share bibliographic records when relevent. Some general guidelines we will follow: Coral: * we will keep things as ILS-agnostic as possible. It means we will use webservices, and never access the Koha DB from Coral * Every "linked" feature will be activated through the configurations files. If not activated, Coral users will see no change. That's important for "Coral without Koha" * We will have to add some fields to store the links between ILS and Coral data. Koha: * We will mostly add webservices (restful, of course), related to acquisition (vendors, budget, baskets, ...). * We will have to add some fields to store the links between Koha and Coral data. Hopefully, at the end of those 3 months, we should have a working version 1, not complete, that could be improved for an easier use. Our long term goal is to have a fully integrated solution. -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries ___ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/

Re: [Koha-devel] Koha 3.22, Plack & EDS plugin
Hi Arthur, The intranet part of the "plugin" is a plugin, so yes, it goes into the scope of Plack. But the eds-*.pl files (https://github.com/ebsco/edsapi-koha-plugin/tree/master/Koha/Plugin/EDS/opac) don't. That's the OPAC part of the "plugin", that is not really a plugin Le 22/11/2016 à 15:49, SUZUKI Arthur a écrit : Hello Paul, I don't know much about EDS nor Plack but I've been playing with koha plugin functionality lately. I guess you're talking about this plugin : https://github.com/ebsco/edsapi-koha-plugin does the koha plugin directory falls in the Plack scope? If koha is installed from Source, this directory is "$KOHA_USERDIR/var/lib/plugins/" (I don't know for debian package, but probably something like /var/lib/koha/plugins) Hope this helps.

[Koha-devel] Koha 3.22/16.05 & Apache, Plack for a high load/large library
Hello koha-devel,
Is there someone using Apache, Plack, on a high load server (ie: for a
large library) ? Which configuration are you using (OS version, how is
Koha installed -package or not-, any tuning in the config files ?)
Do you face any problem ?
We (BibLibre) face many cases where we get failures ("internal server
error". Seems there's something like Apache not being able to wait long
enough for Plack to answer).
