[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Scheduling next Community meeting (suggested: Friday, July 8 @ 2:00 PM Canada/Eastern)?
According to the minutes of the last Evergreen Community meeting, on April 1 (many thanks to Amy Terlaga for taking minutes at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=community:meetings:2011-04-01), "We will schedule the next meeting for sometime after the April conference. We will do this through the lists." Well, the conference is sufficiently far in the past that we should get that meeting booked. IIRC, we were trying to hit a regular rhythm of the first Friday of each month at 2:00 PM Eastern. That would make this Friday, July 1st the next meeting - which is a bit of a problem for Canadians, as that's a national holiday for us, and I suspect a lot of Americans would be starting an extra-long weekend. So, tentatively, I would like to suggest that we aim for Friday, July 8th at 2:00 PM Eastern for the next Community meeting. If you would like to attend and can make that date/time, please respond with a "+1". If the response is poor, then I'll gladly pass the scheduling hat to somebody else to give it a shot! Dan

Alternately, we could teach open-ils.cat.biblio.record.xml.create to set 008/00-05 if they are blank or a placeholder value. The trigger is probably more versatile, as it would handle direct loads into the database and records created via other means as well as new records created via this particular API, but it also puts more load on our single point of failure. Aside: if we create this and it gets backported to a current release, should one of the placeholder values for open-ils.cat.biblio.record.xml.create going forward be '070101', at least until we update the MARC templates accordingly?
