Hackfest in Marseille (breaking news + call for sponsoring)
Hello everybody, Last year, BibLibre office was "almost too small" for all the great people who came from all around the world. This year, I asked Aix Marseille university (a Koha user & BibLibre customer), and they where happy to provide us some meeting rooms, that, added to BibLibre office, should be enough (they give us a 12 seats meeting room + 2 office where 3 ppl can easily meet/discuss) So, the hackfest, in 2015, will take place in 2 locations: some of us in BibLibre office, some in University. We need only 20mn to go from one place to the other (5mn foot, 2 metro station, 5mn foot). first of all: thank you Aix Marseille. Secondly: if you want to come, don't hesitate, drop me an email !!! A lot of core people will be here : * Our Release Manager Tomas (trip sponsored by BibLibre, Bywatersolutions and Kohala) * Our QA Manager (Katrin) * 4 from Bywater * 2 from PTFS-Europe (still to confirm. PTFS-E, please confirm. And if you want to be 3, or 4, you can ;-) ) * all BibLibre staff (as usual) * at least 1 from Norway (Magnus) * some from Sweden (to be confirmed) MISSING ONES, and it's too bad. can we do something ? I'd really like to have 2 other people at the hackfest: *Owen* and *Chris*. 3 years ago, BibLibre sponsored Owen's trip. This year, we can't, but maybe someone else could ? If this idea pleases you, feel free to make it happen ! Chris, is there a chance that you could join us as well ? (OK, it's obviously traveling to the other side of the world. But you already made it 9 years ago, right ?) (note that I haven't asked Owen nor Chris whether they could join us. But maybe, if someone want to sponsor their trip, that could be a welcomed idea !) -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, expert du logiciel libre pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software for libraries expert

Hi All I would love to, but yes it is a expensive trip, I think it would be only possible if I was able to combine it with maybe a trip to Oslo or somewhere else. Or I won the lottery :) Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand

Paul, thank you very much for you kind words. I'm very grateful to have been able to come to Marseille with BibLibre's sponsorship, and it was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately it's too expensive for me to be able to pay my own way -- especially with a family who wants me to spend the travel budget on them ;) Perhaps when Chis wins the lottery he can sponsor me? If anyone is still trying to decide whether Hackfest in Marseille is worth the trip -- IT IS. Paul and everyone at BibLibre are excellent hosts. Go if you're able, and squash some bugs on my behalf. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
