Z3950 searching on MARC as well as UNIMARC targets
by Marcel de Rooy 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Fridolyn [AND others as well]: Thanks for responding. I tried connecting to BNF, but it failed me again. Could this be related to the userid and password? (I also tried without user and pw.) Please note that the other target mentioned earlier functions well. But could you answer the following question please? Or someone else from the list? Would it be interesting for you to Z3950-search MARC21 targets too from your UNIMARC Koha? I made some changes in the script and am able to search both "worlds". MARC and Card view work fine. Only obstacle remains the Import, because it assumes that all records are in the system MARC flavour. It would not be so hard to convert most (important) fields vice versa when copying them to the framework in the addbiblio script.

Could anyone of you using z3950 with unimarc reply on that? Is the MARC and Card view on the results screen correct too? Did you encounter problems with encodings? MARC-8, UTF-8, etc.? I tested with carmin.sudoc.abes.fr<http://carmin.sudoc.abes.fr> z3950 target? Could you recommend another one?

Reminder: Global sign off day 2011-06-15 (in your time zone of choice)
by Magnus Enger 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Dear Koha friends! Just a gentle reminder that Global sign off day is just 2,5 hours away in Kiribati, and fast approaching for other time zones too... Se the message below for details. Best regards, Magnus Enger ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Magnus Enger <magnus(a)enger.priv.no> Date: 7 June 2011 16:16 Subject: Global sign off day, 2011-06-15 To: Koha list <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz>, koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org Dear all! (And sorry for cross posting... At least a little bit ;-) We had such great fun in Marseilles earlier this year, signing off patches, that I have been wondering if it would be possible to re-create some of that experience without incurring the costs of travel. I broached the subject on IRC earlier today and after the briefest and least democratic of processes, "we" decided to declare 15th June 2011 as a Global Sign Off Day: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Global_sign_off_day,_2011-06-15 The hope is that as many people as possible will be able to set aside as much other work as possible on this day, and concentrate on signing off patches, to reduce the queue of bugs that are currently waiting for sign-off (66 at this moment: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_sta…) We will try to visualise and document the progress that is made, to make it more fun and maybe even tickle the competitive instincts a little bit... ;-) And who knows, if this day is a success, maybe we could turn it into a regular tradition? * If you have not signed off on a patch before, now is the perfect time to do it! The more the merrier! The process is outlined here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sign_off_on_patches And there will be people on IRC that you can ask for help and guidance! Best regards, Magnus Enger * On the other hand, let's hope we can keep the queue as short as possible...

KUDOS looking for nominations for officers
by David Schuster 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

KUDOS - North American Koha users group is looking for nominations for the following positions: President Vice president Secretary Treasurer If you are interested in running for an office please contact me so we can put together a slate of officers. By-laws require that you have an instance of Koha running and that you work in a library. We hesitate to change the bylaws currently as they have been submitted as part of our 501c3 application to the US Government. Once we receive notification of the 501c3 application then bylaws could be adjusted to better match the will of the North American community of Koha users in allowing any individual to be a KUDOS member and run for office. Please let me know if you are interested. We are going to try and have a meeting or at least a virtual meeting in the next 2 weeks. -- David Schuster Plano ISD Library Technology Coordinator

Attendance at Kohacon11 volunteers meeting in the #koha irc channel has been poor.

KohaCon11 hackfest: discussion
by Paul Poulain 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Hello everybody, 3 weeks ago we had our 1st IRC meeting about the next KohaCon in India. It seems I've been selected to start the discussion about the Hackfest ! We've had 3 KohaCon already : one in France (2006) one in USA (2009), one in NZ (2010). In Marseille, it lasted one week and was mostly about hacking. In USA it lasted 3 days, we had one day (and a half ?) teaching new developers how to hack, then one day hacking In NZ it lasted 3 days too. the 1st day was dedicated to some -technical- lightning talks (http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/2010/hackfest/index.html) then teaching new hackers, then doing a few hacking What should be the hackfest in India then ? We have two goals during those meetings: welcome new developers, and do some real hacking: it's very efficient to work in the same room and without clock/time differences ! I proposed during the first IRC meeting to split the hackfest in 2 sub-parts, each of them dealing with one goal: * Hackfest part 1 = "become a Koha developper" * Hackfest part 2 = "do some hacking". We could say part1 is about theory, and part2 is about practising what we've learned on part1 ;-) (and of course, ppl coming for part1 would/should/could stay for part2 !) The 1st part would be dedicated to teaching Koha to ppl wanting to know how to join: things like using git, Koha source code organisation, Koha database, working with templates, dealing with translations, submitting patches. kmkale suggested to have 2 days for this part, just before sunday (that would be a day-off) The 2nd part would be dedicated to hacking: showing what is underway, showing POC if applicable (Proof of Concept), playing with bugzilla, writing unit tests,... How long could/should it last ? There are 2 opinions here: - staying & taking time is expensive, so not too long - once you're here, we must make the trip worth, so as long as possible What's your opinion on this matter ? Mine is that once we're here, we must stay as long as possible, those meetings are precious. So how long should this part last ? kmkale said there will be a room available for us for as long as we want. My proposition would be to say 3 days (mon-wed): not too short, we will be able to do useful things, not too long, we'll be back home on tuesday, before or for the next week-end, back to work next monday. What's your opinion on those ideas ? anything to add ? Feel free to give your opinion, nothing has been decided yet ! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

Koha Version 3.4.1
by Louise_Towers＠hugoboss.com 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Dear Sir/Madam, We need some answers and support based on Koha Version 3.4.1. We have installed and are using here at Hugo Boss Ticino but now we have some questions and require some support for a number of things - would it be possible to organise a conference call with one of your technicians or documentation managers? We know the time difference may be a problem as we are based in Switzerland but we can stay later to compensate for this - maybe 6pm our time, 9am your time tomorrow morning Friday 10th June or Tuesday 14th June? We are having problems like, if two people reserve the same book at the same time, there is no circulation email. Also, does the support for Koha have a cost for the service?? I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible to help us use your product most effectively and efficiently, With Regards, Louise HUGO BOSS Ticino SA Louise Towers Project and Service Management Knitwear ------------------------------------------------------- Via Sant'Apollonia 32 6877 Coldrerio - CH Phone : +41 91 6966875 Fax : +41 91 6966816 e-mail: Louise_Towers(a)hugoboss.com www.hugoboss.com This e-mail (and/or attachments) is confidential and may be privileged.

by Stefano Bargioni 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, as I commented in http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3013 the latest patch seems ok to me (tested in Koha 3.2.3). I signed it off (in Bugzilla only, I'm not able to use git up to now, sorry). Hope it could be included in Koha 3.2.10. Bye. Stefano

Items not added to Zebra in field 952
by Salvador Zaragoza Rubio 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi all, On my git master updated version when adding an item I can't see the item added in the 952 field of the Zebra database, it's only added to the MySQL items table. I've checked the Items.pm script and in the sub AddItem this is what we had before: # create MARC tag representing item and add to bib my $new_item_marc = _marc_from_item_hash($item, $frameworkcode, $unlinked_item_subfields); _add_item_field_to_biblio($new_item_marc, $item->{'biblionumber'}, $frameworkcode ); And now: ModZebra( $item->{biblionumber}, "specialUpdate", "biblioserver", undef, undef ); The sub _add_item_field_to_biblio is missing and the 952 is not added to the biblio record (field marcxml, filed marc in biblioitems) and the ModZebra doesn't update the record with the new 952 field. Am I missing something? Is that correct and is a planned modification about Items? I can't find a bug related with this issue. Regards Salva
