  3. GSoC Reports (dbwells, 15:29:18)
    1. danielR reports "To make a quick summary the project is an Android EG client (it has all the OPAC web functionalities: search, checkout, holds and bookbags) + barcode ISBN scan (and search based on the barcode) + notifications (notify the user when a checkout is about to expire)" (dbwells, 15:43:23)
    2. eeevil reported on behalf of his student (swenyu) -- Converted string normalizing functions led to small speed improvements and a good template for ICU-based string manipulation in C-based stored procs. swenyu also started some MARC handling code, and is interested in continuing to work on search in evergreen. (dbwells, 15:56:12)
    3. senator and pranjal710 report that pranjal710 completed PHP client bindings for OpenSRF. This essentially means PHP users now have an easy and consistent way to call any opensrf method using fieldmapper objects in the parameters and getting them in results, too, based on the IDL published by the host being contacted. pranjal710 is working on getting it into PEAR for PHP users' convenience. (dbwells, 15:58:42)
    4. https://github.com/pranjal710/osrf (dbwells, 15:59:00)
    5. http://evergreengsoc.blogspot.ca/2012/08/little-shoves.html is joseph's most recent blog post, which sounds like he made a huge amount of progress. and unit tests! (denials, 16:01:11)
    6. tsbere reported on behalf of his student (joelewis) -- joelewis seems to have everything working up through dojo 1.6, and started dealing with the massively annoying changes that were made for 1.7 on. For reference, apparently dojo no longer supports the require syntax used up through 1.6, which breaks any hope of compatibility without major rewriting. (dbwells, 16:03:09)

  4. Release Info (dbwells, 16:05:13)
    1. OpenSRF - no release info to report (dbwells, 16:17:04)
    2. 2.3.x.. RC1 Friday, probably friday night (dbwells, 16:19:16)
    3. 2.2.3 should be due in late september. that gives it a little time to accumulate bugfixes since 2.2.2, i should think. that's barring anything to accelerate the release, like any security bugs that should turn up (dbwells, 16:22:25)
    4. denials will try to sync up with senator on the next 2.1.x release as well (denials, 16:22:34)
    5. ACTION: denials to patch make_release so that it sets the eg_version var on the upgrade scripts (denials, 16:25:10)

  5. Hack-a-way (dbwells, 16:26:02)
