Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Call for Release Manager nominations - Evergreen 3.5

[Chris Sharp]

Hi all,

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for co-release manager for the
Evergreen 3.5 release.

About me:

 I've been administering Evergreen in the Georgia PINES consortium since
2008 and have been actively involved in support, training, informal
consulting, and software development in the Evergreen Community ever
since.   I have contributed to the release build team since 2018.  Also in
2018, I was named a core committer for the Evergreen project and in 2019 I
was named Evergreen Contributor of the Month.  In my position at Georgia
PINES, I have an end-user-centric perspective for both library patrons and
staff, and bring a broad knowledge of public library operations, from
circulation to cataloging, admin, and reports.  This would be my first time
as release manager.

My proposal:

I would like to serve as a co-release manager to someone who has been
release manager before, so I can learn the process and hopefully become
more skilled to be a lead release manager in the future.  I would want to
help shepherd in major upcoming features, such as acquisitions search
improvements, Angular 8, and third-party integration (e.g. OpenAthens,
RBDigital), but also smaller bugfixes that may have been neglected over the
past few cycles.

I hope you will seriously consider me for this role.  I'm excited to get
started!

Sincerely,

Chris

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Records with no items

[Terran McCanna]

We have a report that identifies volumes with no copies attached if that
helps - it uses the Call Number/Volume data source and filters by:

Is Deleted (equals f)
Owning Library (In list)
Copies > Is Deleted (equals f)
Copies > Copy ID (is NULL)

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Call for Release Manager nominations - Evergreen 3.5

[Bill Erickson]

Hi All,

I would also like to be considered for the role of 3.5 co-RM.  If elected,
this will be my 4th term as RM.  I'm excited about the move to a co-RM
arrangement and I believe I have the experience to offer guidance to my
co-RM.  I also believe this will give us an opportunity to better document
the RM procedures, including the moonlight rituals and secret rune parties.

High level interests for me include all things Angular, specifically
continuing development of the Angular staff catalog and continuing the
migration from Dojo/legacy interfaces to Angular.

Other items on my radar include Angular self-checkout, XUL purging, Angular
MARC editor, OPAC/Bootstrap project (1778972), and more!

I would continue the tradition of a developer feedback fest to keep code
branches moving toward community acceptance and merging.

And finally, I'd like to further explore the idea of creating developer
zones of expertise (working groups, cabals, ...? :) based on knowledge of a
features, work flows, parts of the code stack, etc.  My hope is having
developers feel more ownership to certain parts of the software will
encourage more participation in the patch review and merging process.
Thanks to Galen for mentioning this at the hackaway.

Thanks for the opportunity,

-b

Bill Erickson

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Printing vertical rotated text through hatch

[Josh Stompro]

Hello, We just upgraded from 2.10 to 3.3 last weekend, and we are currently
working through all our documentation to get ready to switch to the web
client.

I'm working on setting up our receipt templates for transit and hold
slips.  And I'm noticing when I try to use the css "text-orientation:
upright ; writing-mode: vertical-rl;" to create vertical stacked text, it
is just ignored when printing, but only when I'm printing through hatch.
If I use browser printing, it works fine.

So is hatch rendering the print jobs when it is used?  And is there a list
of what CSS it doesn't support?

[Floyd, Angelia Lynn]

Check out my receipts in my git hub: 
https://github.com/alynn26/Evergreen-Receipts

The 
hold_shelf_slip_vertical.html
 has the Vertical hold slip printing in hatch, I know this because I tested it 
in Hatch with a receipt printer.

This is the div I used:
