Roles for 19.11 now open
by Renvoize, Martin 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi everyone, The role proposals page for the upcoming 19.11 development cycle is now available at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_19.11 and we'd love to see some new names on the volunteers' list. The vote on roles will be held at the next irc general meeting and descriptions of what the roles entail can be found here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles . Roles to draw your attention to: * Bug Wranglers - We can always do with more bug wranglers! These people love to keep things tidy and Bugzilla is always in need of your help. We need people to help manage 'the list', identifying the duplicates, promoting bugs to specialists and finding people to do signoffs and testing. Everyone is invited to this party, we need you! * Documentation Team - The documentation team is a growing team that's made great inroads into bringing Koha's documentation up to date and ensuring we have a really well-documented piece of software. There's plenty more to do and they're always on the lookout for new contributors. * Wiki Curators - Koha's wiki is bursting at the seams with good information, but we need your help to bring order to the chaos and keep improving the content. If you've got an interest in maintaining an area of the Wiki, helping identify out of date information or categorizing data then this is a job for you. * Quality Assurance Team - This vitally important team is always looking for new recruits! If you've got an eye for detail, or you're a tester who likes rolling up their sleeves a little bit and looking at how a piece of code works, then we'd love to hear from you. Again, there's always support available from 'the usual suspects' so don't shy away, why not make this your first cycle on the QA team and see how much fun it can be working with this important team. * Quality Assurance Topic Expert - Do you know one particular area of koha better than the rest? Are you the 'go to' guy (or gal) for SIP2, EDI, Acquisitions or another area of Koha? We'd like to hear from you too. You don't have to know the whole codebase to be a great QA Specialist, you're an expert in what you know and we always need more experts. Those are just a few highlights, please see the wiki page above for the full list. *Martin Renvoize* <https://www.ptfs-europe.com> Development Team Manager *Phone:* +44 (0) 1483 378728 *Mobile:* +44 (0) 7725 985 636 *Email:* martin.renvoize(a)ptfs-europe.com *Fax:* +44 (0) 800 756 6384 www.ptfs-europe.com Registered in the United Kingdom No. 06416372 VAT Reg No. 925 7211 30 The information contained in this email message may be privileged, confidential and protected from disclosure.

Koha work slowly
by Arayik Manukyan 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Dear list, So as we have a huge koha database with 7 million records on Koha 17.11.05 we always have such problem : during the day we noticed that koha began work slowly especially searching, we couldn't export data at that time and executed reports. We use MariaDB latest version and when execute this command "show status like Conn" we noticed that connections are very huge nearly 150 000.(See attached file)After restarted MariaDB the connections became 100. We,of course use documentation and added # key_buffer = 2000M max_allowed_packet = 16M thread_stack = 128K thread_cache_size = 8 # This replaces the startup script and checks MyISAM tables if needed # the first time they are touched myisam-recover = BACKUP max_connections = 500 max_user_connections = 500 #table_cache = 64 thread_concurrency = 300 table_cache = 30000 open_files_limit = 65000# # * Query Cache Configuration # query_cache_limit = 50M query_cache_size = 300M # * InnoDB # # InnoDB is enabled by default with a 10MB datafile in /var/lib/mysql/. # Read the manual for more InnoDB related options. There are many! # You might want to disable InnoDB to shrink the mysqld process by circa 100MB. #skip-innodb innodb_buffer_pool_size=16777216 innodb_file_per_table We understand that it is opac search results which didn't reconnect after any search. Any suggestions? Thanks, Araik --- Это сообщение было проверено AVG на наличие вирусов. http://www.avg.com

Development Idea - Improve functionality of macros in Advanced Cataloging Editor
by Johnson, Barbara 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hi everyone, Bedford Public Library is looking for other libraries to assist in sponsoring a development to improve the functionality of macros in the Advanced Cataloging Editor. The macros would be stored in the database and not lost when clearing the browser cache. And they would be private by default- for use by the person who created it. But, they have the option to make that macro public which means all staff could see it. ByWater gave us a quote of $3,000 for the development. Are there other libraries out there that would be interested in helping to sponsor this development? Thanks, Barbara -- Barbara Johnson Library Technical Services Manager Bedford Public Library 2424 Forest Ridge Drive, Bedford, TX 76021-4667 Office: 817-952-2360 | Fax: 817-952-2396 | Barbara.Johnson(a)bedfordtx.gov CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This City of Bedford (CoB) email transmission is intended only for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged, and exempt from disclosure.

Development idea - Create digest option for auto renewal notices
by Johnson, Barbara 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hi everyone, Bedford is considering a development that would create a digest option for auto renewal notices in order to send only one digest notice instead of a separate renewal notices for every single title. ByWater provided a quote of $5,000. The development would be based on bug #18532 (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18532) which would create auto renewal notices as a patron messaging preference that would include a digest option. We'd love to hear from other libraries that could help fund this development, even if it is only a small amount.

But after I turn off the virtual box and try to access it later, koha stops working (nothing appears on 127.0.0.1:8080 & 8081) untill I disable Plack through the following commands sudo koha-plack --stop library sudo koha-plack --disable library sudo service apache2 restart. And the speed also reduces significantly. Restarting Plack doesn't work. Please guide me to solve this problem.

Development co-sponsors: normalize MARC strings to deduplicate facets in catalog search
by Sarah B. Cornell 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi folks, Apologies for cross-posting... The Portsmouth Public Library is looking for co-sponsors for a development that should fix bug 17661<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17661>. If you're bugged by the fact that "Patterson, James," and "Patterson, James." show up separately in the author facet, this should fix it! Even though clicking on both instances run the same search, the display is misleading. The development would strip trailing spaces and punctuation, compare the normalized facets, and display each one only once. ByWater has quoted us $4000, and we'd like some co-sponsors to help make this happen. Let us know if you're interested. Thanks! Sarah Sarah B. Cornell Supervisor of Technical Services Portsmouth Public Library 175 Parrott Avenue Portsmouth, NH 03801 603-766-1730 http://www.cityofportsmouth.com/library
