updating support company list
by Paul Poulain 25 Sep '26

25 Sep '26

Hello all, Looking at the support company list https://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/alpha/ I see "scanbit, cristina Gareta". I know, for sure, that Cristina is not working at scanbit anymore, and, looking at their website, there's no koha page anymore (or I couldn't find it) Trying the company just below scanbit (Shou Yang Digital Technology Co., Ltd.) the website is down. Shouldn't we check all support companies (website & email) to see if they still have to be listed ?

Finding security issues using AI ?
by Paul Poulain 04 Sep '26

04 Sep '26

Hello world ! Did someone try to ask an AI to search for any security issue in Koha ? If yes, can you share what you made and what were the results (don't send detailed reports with found security issues on the mailing list, of course !!!) See you in Karlsruhe next month ! -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / CEO BibLibre, Services et logiciels libres pour votre bibliothèque BibLibre, Open Source software and services for your library
