Hello Eugene (cc koha-devel list),

I had planned to contact you this week to know if you need help, you beat me to it!

We have refreshed a bit our wiki pages about how to get involved in the community, so I guess it may be a good read:
https://wiki.koha-community.orgneed technical help/wiki/Getting_involved
It will depend on how the participants want to help, but I think you can ask Paul to show you how the sanboxes work, to signoff on patches.

I CCed the Koha developers list so they know you need easy patches to test. We usually add the "academy" tag to bug reports easy to test. I have created a search for that: https://frama.link/Koha_academy_NSO_bugs
There are only 5 so far but we will try and add more in the next days.

If you catch some librarians that are willing to install Koha on their laptop you should guide them to Koha Dev Box (a wiki page should be created before the end of the week, otherwise there is a readme on the dedicated page of the project: https://github.com/digibib/kohadevbox )

You should also join the IRC channel if you need technical help or have any Koha related questions.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Dear Jonathan,

KohaCon2017 will be tomorrow and the hackfest will be on Thursday. Based from the list of attendees, it seems they're almost librarians. Only one or two developers (we have Paul Poulain attending). I am quite aware of your position in the Koha Community with regards to its ongoing development. We, the organizers of KohaCon2017 are reaching out to you to help us in identifying bugs needing Sign offs and are easier to work with by not so technically-inclined librarians. Cheers and Mabuhay!
