Hi I'm Saiful Amin, a student of Master's of Library & Information Science. I've worked on Koha for a very brief period before my exams and am a member of this mailing list for the past 3 months. I've almost one year's experience in Perl and been working on redhat linux for past 8 months. I've worked on this software only for testing purposes to see how far it is suitable for the Indian libraries. So far I've got the koha-1.2.2 working with z3950 client and the sample database. I plan to test koha for many other features such as handling of multilingual documents. I'm currently busy this month with a team project on the Greenstone digital library system. My next project might well be on Koha! I am a big supporter of open source projects and would like to contribute at least in the documentation of this software. I would be more than happy to help out anybody in my locality concerning installation, etc. I really want it to keep growing. With regards, -Saiful
If you've got a question, comment, or a success story, please feel free to drop me a line.
Koha has been invited to participate in the Think-Linux show in Columbus, Ohio (in the US). We're not sure yet whether this is logisticly possible for us. If you're interested in making our appearance at this show a reality, or in seeing Koha at a local conference, User Group meeting, or similar event, please let me know.
While the pace of Koha acceptance and development seem to be picking up, we're still a very friendly place for newcomers. If you're new to Koha, please stop by the mailing list and introduce yourself.
happy hacking,
Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager the Koha project
