Hi, Here are some notes from the first day of hackfest:
* A total of 34 kittens were saved [1]. In other words, a number of bugs were worked on, tested, QAed, and pushed. * Several tutorial sessions took place, including a session on Koha bug reporting and patch testing fundamentals led by Bob Birchall and a tutorial on Git and navigating the Koha source tree lead by myself. * Several folks had a lengthy discussion about various issues regarding search and indexing. A couple short-term projects initiated today include dealing with a bug concerning retrieving oversize ISO 2709 records from Zebra and a project to switch facet calculation over to using Zebra's built-in faceting. There was also discussion of the idea of using Elasticsearch as a complement to Zebra and Solr. * Chris Cormack helped a library upgrade their Koha database from (I think) 3.6 all the way to 3.12 ... in 27 minutes. Tomorrow tutorial sessions on DBIx::Class and Class::Accessor are planned as well as a roundtable on digging into Zebra's internals. For folks wanting to play along at home, lists of wishlist items [2] and notes from the conference roundtables [3] are available on the wiki. I'm sure this summary is incomplete, and I encourage other hackfest attendees to supplement it.
