[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] hack-a-ways 2016 & 2017

[Rogan Hamby]

This is just two quick reminders in one email.

One, the 2016 Hack-A-Way will be Nov 2nd - 4th.  For those planning on
attending don't forget to make travel plans and possibly voting plans if
you're voting in the US elections.  If you're from another country and
bewildered by our election this year, its OK, our politics don't make sense
to those of us in the country any more than they do to others.

However, regardless of your political stance and whoever wins the election
you can come hack code in Indiana.

quoted from a previous email:

The location for the *Hack-A-Way* will be the Fort Harrison State Park Inn <
http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/inns/ftharrison/index.html>. Reservations
can be made online but to receive the discounted rate you have to call
877-563-4371 and mention the *Hack-A-Way*. This facility has a unique
option of renting houses with multiple sleeping rooms which can be very
cost effective if anyone is interested.

Also, anyone interested in hosting 2017's has until July 31st to get their
submission in.

We already have one excellent proposal in from Indiana for next year also
and this will probably
be the last time I send out a reminder for submissions.

Yes, that's a "known" issue and Dan Wells has a potential fix for that.

I do not think anyone has made a Launchpad bug for that, yet, however.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2.9.3 - 2.10.3 upgrade issues

[Jesse McCarty]

Thanks for the information Ben,

The server in the old conversation (thanks for link!) was a 2.4.4 test server 
that was eventually scrapped and I did not perform the upgrade from 2.4.4. 
Using the old thread, as well as Galen's information, I was able to apply the 
fix and then the DB upgrade scripts functioned properly and I now have an 
upgraded and functional test server. Thank you all again!

The interesting part of this process is the two-step process in the 
2.9.3-2.10.0 upgrade script where there is intervention needed to exit one 
screen and continue, and then the fact that part of the script takes all night 
and then some to finish (The server is a VM with 8 VCPUs, 18GB RAM and resides 
on SSD storage so it's no slouch). Even on slower hardware of previous 
upgrades, the records reingest process only took around 4 hours. 

Thanks again everyone!

Hi Jesse,

That error for missing metabib_field key 30 means that you do not have an entry 
in the table with ID of 30 (which is supposed to be LCCN in the stock 
installation).

Looking back in the history, I see you've mentioned some issues with this 
metabib_field entry before (see
http://markmail.org/message/wrdyhmaeenavxk2y)  Perhaps it would be a good idea 
to audit your table's entries and compare it with a stock setup to see the 
differences (and make adjustments).  I would start by checking to see if LCCN 
is already in the metabib_field table.

Something like:

SELECT id FROM config.metabib_field WHERE name = 'lccn';

If that gives you the ID for your missing LCCN field, that'll tell you what it 
is, instead of 30.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Seeking funding partners for Evergreen search project

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

As you know, MassLNC has been working this year on finding ways to 
improve search in Evergreen. As a result of several community-wide 
discussions on search as well as a follow-up meeting with our colleagues 
at Equinox, we are now looking to fund some projects that we believe 
will bring improvements to the current Evergreen search.


The projects include:

- investigatory work for infrastructure improvements for search. This is 
largely a consulting project where Equinox would prototype the 
elimination of staged search, analyze potential optimizations in newer 
PostgreSQL releases, and investigate and prototype other relevance 
improvements.


- a development project to implement the improvements that come out of 
the investigatory phase of the project.


- a search and display infrastructure project. This project will change 
the way we configure indexes for the keyword class, allowing us to 'kill 
the blob' that is currently used as the default keyword index. It will 
also implement the Metabib Display Fields development. Expected end 
results of this project are to 1) Allow sites to more easily weight 
fields in a keyword search 2) Use Metabib Display Fields to render the 
catalog's search results and record detail pages 3) Add the ability to 
use proper case in reports, 4) Add the ability to highlight search terms 
in the search results page and the record details page.


We also hope that this work will lay the groundwork for building a good 
Did You Mean? enhancement in the future, even though it isn't included 
in the scope of the current project.


MassLNC is committed to allocating funds towards this work, but the 
project is complicated, and we are not able to fund it on our own. We 
are putting out a call to see if there are other Evergreen sites out 
there that are interested in helping us fund this very important project.


If you would like more information on this project, please send me a 
direct e-mail, and I will share more details with you.


Thank you!
Kathy
