Community List Access
by Jennifer Weston 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

I am having trouble with the link to access Evergreen community lists -- where we can register for individual group listservs (like Cataloging, DIG, etc.). Anyone else having this issue? Link: http://list.evergreen-ils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ All the Evergreen committees have links to their respective lists on the Evergreen website here: https://evergreen-ils.org/communicate/committees/ and none of the links appear to work today. Found this when trying to review moderated messages that needed to be forwarded to the CatIG list -- and I do not see the lists at all. Thanks, Jennifer --- Jennifer Weston, MLIS Product and Education Manager | Assistant Operations Manager Equinox Open Library Initiative *jennifer.weston(a)equinoxOLI.org <jennifer.weston(a)equinoxOLI.org>*1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) direct: 770-709-5574 *www.equinoxOLI.org <http://www.equinoxOLI.org>*

3.15 Feature Slush - Wednesday March 12
by Andrea Buntz Neiman 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Hello Evergreen, Apologies for the cross posting. Feature Slush for Evergreen 3.15 is this *Wednesday, March 12th*. Feature slush means "any features intended for this release should be finished & pullrequested." Bugfixes can still go in through 3.15-beta, which is still a couple weeks away. So, if you've got a feature close to completion, now's the time to get your branch out there! Next week *Tuesday, March 18th* is Feature Freeze / String Freeze / Translation String Slush. This means "no more feature merges after this date; minimize string [i.e. word/label] changes." So any of those pullrequested features must be merged before next Tuesday. There's a lot of good stuff pending for 3.15-beta already, so if you are a tester or a committer please take a look at this list and see what you can move along: Bugs currently tagged as "Wishlist" and targeted for 3.15-beta <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-impor…> Thanks on behalf of the release team, Andrea Buntz Neiman Ruth Frasur Davis Martha Driscoll Jason Etheridge Llewellyn Marshall Gina Monti -- Andrea Buntz Neiman, MLS (she/her) Project Manager for Software Development | Product Specialist Equinox Open Library Initiative abneiman(a)equinoxOLI.org <abneiman(a)equinoxoli.org> 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) Direct: 770-709-5583 *https://www.equinoxOLI.org/ <https://www.equinoxOLI.org/>*

If you have background imports set up or are planning to set it up, how often are you running the cronjob?
