Re: [Koha] KUDOS to use the Koha IRC Channel for virtual meetings

Hi, Great to hear you're getting a users meeting together, thanks Deb :-) For those of you who are going to join the meeting who haven't used IRC before a few tips that might help... You can of course use the cig off the Koha site, but dedicated software is generally going to be better, more robust and less likely to crash on you just when it all gets interesting. We have people who use vIRC, mIRC and xChat (and no doubt others) so feel free to ask for help on list with your setup. I'd recommend getting your irc software setup and have a bit of a practice before the actual meeting. With a bit of IRC software you can set it to log the meeting so that even if you're going to miss the start of the end you can read up on it later. The default "readback" in IRC clients is generally 500 or so lines, I set mine to 5000 so that I can read back on a day/night of chat if I'm in the mood. I look forward to catching up with some of you next week. My preference is Mon/Tues/Friday BTW (which is Sun/Mon/Thursday) for USA.

KUDOS to use the Koha IRC Channel for virtual meetings
by Deb Bergeron 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Koha Users, The Koha IRC channel will be used for our virtual meetings. You can sign on via a link on the Koha site at http://koha.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi. If you want to have a nickname or use your real name type '/nick yourname' without the quotes. So now that we have a place to meet, let's do it. I'll throw out a few dates and times. I'm trying to be congnizant of all time zones, so I'm thinking after 3pm EST, that gives the folks in NZ time to get to work and have coffee, ;-) and the folks on the west coast either at lunchtime or shortly afterwards. Any day next week, February 12-15 after 3pm EST. Does this work for you? What shall we discuss? Send topics. Here's a few to get your juices flowing: * what would you like to see the user group accomplish? * what types of topics are of interest to you and your library? * is there functionality in Koha you'd like to see added?

Additional authors/ISBD
by Magdalena Söderqvist 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hello again! Many thanks to Jim Weinheimer who suggested us to use the ISBD display to get all additional authors visible. This solves one problem but at the same time it creates new ones, as we have not managed to figure out how to make the keywords and authors searchable as they are in Opac-detail.pl, nor how to make the URL:s active. We also tried adding the local holdings data(Items) to theOpac-ISBDdetail.pl, but the holdings data does not want to appear. However, if I understand it correctly: in addition to the Opac-ISBDdetail.pl, you have also managed to make the Opac-detail.pl(Simple view) display the ISBD data. How do we make that happen, that is: how do we make the Opac-detail.pl fetch data from the ISBD? Also noticed that you work in the NPL template while we have chosen the CSS template - don't know if that changes anything. /Magdalena Söderqvist SIPRI -- ***************************** Magdalena Söderqvist SIPRI Library Signalistgatan 9 SE-169 70 SOLNA Tel +46 8 655 97 78 Fax +46 8 655 97 33 E-mail: soderqvist(a)sipri.org *****************************

Google Talk via FaceBook for KUDOS meetings
by Deb Bergeron 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

As many of you know, I've been looking for a way to have online KUDOS chat meetings via FaceBook. Well, we tried Google Talk in the FaceBook application. It's very cumbersome and will not work for online chat meetings. However, we could utilize Google Talk via Google. Google Talk is great--you can have either a chat with one person or a group. How's it work? All you need to do is: a. Have a google acct. b. Have an email acct. Then, if any of us wants to talk/chat realtime we can hook up via Google Talk. What do you think? Other options are: a. building a moodle with chat function. (Moodle has a chat function built in.) b. email via the Koha list or FaceBook c. meet in person d. other ideas?
