BibLibre new staff & intern
by Paul Poulain 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Hello koha-devel, I'm happy to introduce Victor Grousset, that join the support/maintenance team at BibLibre. He will probably submit or signoff his first patches in the next weeks. I'm also happy to introduce Simon Pouchol, an intern that will be with us for 3 months. He will work on Koha community, more focused on design / UI. We're already in touch with Owen ;-) In the next months, we really want to re-invest in Koha community time. We will try to dedicate someone 2 days a week to community work (QA, sign-off, submit patches). Wait until Victor has ended his learning time, and our investment should be visible for 18.05 ! -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

12 Oct '17

Hi All, Just an update to ES testing, we have now made Elasticsearch available on the BWS sandboxes: http://sandbox.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/sandbox-dashboard.pl You will need to set the 'SearchEngine' system preference once the sandbox is setup, but records should be indexed and ready to go. If you have any questions or problems please let me know via email or in IRC. -Nick (kidclamp)

Jenkins status
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi everyone, I've just noticed I might have not sent the required information to people polling jenkins, so here it goes. We've moved all jenkins tasks into docker containers, that are built using the different branches in the koha-testing-docker repository [1] The 'images' are built in jenkins itself [2] and then uploaded (by jenkins) into the Docker hub (the Docker official place to share/distribute Docker images). I took over the 'koha' organization name in the Docker hub (this guys are great!) [3]. The jenkins tasks have been renamed into Koha_{{ branch }}_D8, because we plan to start running the test suite against Stretch, so it will be _D9... This means the dashboard green/yellow/red icons informing the projects health are broken for now, but we shoudl fix it very soon. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. It is for a good cause :-D Thanks everyone for the patience PS As soon as I have a spare morning, I will document all this on the wiki.

Best place for test plans
by David Cook 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi all, I've been wondering about the best place to put test plans. I think traditionally we include them in our git commits, but I feel like it would be better to include them as standalone comments in Bugzilla. My reasoning is that finding test plans can be really difficult when you're scrolling back through numerous autogenerated per-commit comments. And if there is lots of rebasing or modifications, you wind up with a million test plans, so you can't even Ctrl + F really. I figure when a patch is ready for testing, the developer should write 1 comment containing all test plan instructions and post it to the bottom of Bugzilla. That way, testers can just Ctrl + F for test plan, find the lowest one, and just consider that in their testing. What do you all think?
