Hopefully AWS won't be the only one doing all the work and having all
the control. (Red Hat, SAP, Capital One, CrateDB, Aiven and Logz.io are
said to be part of it)

Great news to see this moving. Because the topic will come in the
future. Since ES isn't libre/open source anymore, ES even acknowledges that.
https://www.elastic.co/pricing/faq/licensing#what-is-sspl-and-how-does-it-work?
There is a lot written stuff and contradictory analysis on the topic.
But regardless of what the ES FAQ and blog posts says. **Is there a
reliable legal analysis on the license text?**
The closest thing I have found so far is this one:
https://anonymoushash.vmbrasseur.com/2021/01/14/elasticsearch-and-kibana-are-now-business-risks#page-title
Found also people dismissing it as FUD but without contradictory legal
analysis.
The key question are: Is Koha legally usable with SSPL ES?
Is it's affected by it's copyleft clause? (up) Same question for the
underlying components used to run ES. (down)

The last libre version of ES is pretty great as it is. Not having the
fastest possible development on OpenSearch won't take away that.

+1, thanks.

Hi, saluton, hola, bonjour,
String freeze is into effect as of now for the 19.11.x maintenance
branch. The release is scheduled for around the 23th.
This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform:
https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/
Reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 19.11,
then you must also copy it to 20.05 and 20.11. Otherwise your work will
be lost for future versions.
Happy translating,
--
