Roles for Koha 3.14
by Jared Camins-Esakov 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hello. As most of you probably know, the Koha 3.14 release cycle is bearing down on us at the rate of 168 hours per week, so it's time to figure out who is willing to do what for Koha 3.14. There is a good start on the 3.14 release cycle slate at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_3.14 but there are a few holes. Most notably, there is no RM, no TM, and no RMaint for 3.10.x and 3.12.x. When I was initially asked about continuing as RM during the Koha 3.14 cycle, I said I would consider it if there were no better options. I have considered it. I will not run for RM again, regardless of whether or not there is another candidate. Koha works because a multitude of people volunteer their time for the project. Please consider getting involved next release cycle. It can be very rewarding.

New signing keys for the Debian packages
by Robin Sheat 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

From the next Koha release, the signing key for the packages will be changed from its current one to a general package signing key. The ID for this new key is A2E41F10 should you want to use it manually, however to update your servers to accept the new key is simply a matter of running: wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - If you don't do this, then you will get warnings about invalid signatures next time you upgrade the packages. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D

ILSDI AuthenticatePatron
by Fitzpatrick, Christopher 27 Feb '13

27 Feb '13

Hi everyone, I've just started working on some "connector" code to extend some functionality of our Koha instance by interacting with another web app we use. I'm wanting to authenticate users to their Koha accounts and it seems like using the ILSDI api would be the easiest way, since it would it would allow me to not have to make a direct DB connection. However, looking at the AuthenticatePatron action, I'm not too comfortable passing username and password simply as clear text GET parameters, so I am trying to come up with some ways to avoid this, as it's not very secure. Limiting IP access to the ilsdi.pl probably does not complete resolve this issue, since the username and password will still be captured in the http logs. I am curious what are some of the security measures others are using when using this api? Thanks for any help! Very much appreciated...best, chris fitzpatrick

My changing role...
by Ruth Bavousett 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

To my friends in the Koha community, I have accepted a position outside the library community, and will be leaving ByWater Solutions as of March 8. It has been an incredible almost-five years for me, working on Koha, and getting to meet so many of you virtually and in-person. I say without reservation that some of my best friends on the planet are Koha people, some of whom I have never met in person. I will continue to serve as Translation Manager for the rest of the 3.12 release cycle; I would like to stay involved in Koha after that, so once I see what my workload will look like, I'll decide whether to run for another term. I'll be switching my emails for the lists over to my personal account soon, but if you need me for translation matters, email to druthb(a)gmail.com will be your best bet, going forward. *D Ruth Bavousett* Lead Migration Specialist ByWater Solutions Support and Consulting for Open Source Software Headquarters: Santa Barbara, CA Office: Lawrence, KS Phone/Fax (888)900-8944 http://bywatersolutions.com ruth(a)bywatersolutions.com
