Hi! Just a short intro as per the welcome mail: I am contracted by the Oslo Public Library (Deichmanske bibliotek) in Norway to help out in their efforts to build systems for their new library that will open in Oslo in a few years. Koha has been chosen as a cornerstone in this effort. I have been working as a consultant for 15+ years, developing business critical systems for clients in and around Oslo. I LOVE programming, but I also have a passion for quality and a certain disdain for repetitive tasks, and error prone, manual, routines - so I am very into Test-Driven Development (London-style), automation (e g using provisioning tools like Ansible, SaltStack, Puppet, Chef) and prefer properly tested deployment units (like a jar, war, Docker image or, if all else fails, a virtual machine image). Generally, I think learning is what all development efforts should optimize their efforts for, and that transparency, collaboration and rapid feedback are key ingredients in achieving that. The better we are at learning the better we will be at creating awesome stuff that works for our end users. We are in an early phase in our efforts but if you are curious a lot of what we do will be publicly available on our github profile: https://github.com/digibib These days we are looking into how to deploy Koha in Docker. My real name is impossible for non-Norwegians to parse, remember and pronounce so on the interwebs I mostly go by a nickname I chose in a moment of general unclarity and confusion: "Fred" ... so I am a.k.a Fred .... akafred. I try to stop by #koha as akafred, but not always 'there' even if it looks like it - koha@akafred.com works though. See ya :-) Regards, - Kjetil a.k.a. "Fred"

Hi!
Just a short intro as per the welcome mail: Hi akafred,
And welcome onboard ! You should find this community very diverse, very active and sometimes sleepy. As all communities, you'll find some discussion uninteresting, but if someone talks, it mean that someone has an interest. You'll also sometimes be surprised to get no answer (like for this email ;-) ). It doesn't mean no-one is reading, it usually mean everyone is busy, or has nothing to say. Fortunately, most of the time, you'll find people here very welcoming, friendly. Overall, it's a very engaging community ! Next week is the international KohaCon, in Argentina (Cordoba). I hope there will be video-recording & broadcasting, and I encourage you to have a look at some talks that you could be interested in ( http://koha-community.org/kohacon/kohacon14/schedule/ community organization, how to welcome newbies, koha history, and translations talks) -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, expert du logiciel libre pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software for libraries expert
Hi and welcome! The Koha community is usually a quite friendly bunch and over the years I’ve come to value the community over the code. I suspect I’ll continue lurking around on Oslos blog and github account once in a while since I work in Sweden and know you are up to some interesting stuff. As for the name I’d say I can parse and remember, but won’t as a swede promise all that much about pronunciation even if I’ll gladly have a go should we ever meet afk :) Kind regards/Viktor Viktor Sarge Utvecklingsledare Regionbibliotek Halland Kultur i Halland TFN: 035-17 98 73 E-POST: Viktor.Sarge@regionhalland.se<mailto:Viktor.Sarge@regionhalland.se> BESÖKSADRESS: Södra vägen 9, 30180 Halmstad WEBB: www.regionhalland.se/regionbibliotek<http://www.regionhalland.se/regionbibliotek> 30 sep 2014 kl. 09:41 skrev akafred <koha@akafred.com<mailto:koha@akafred.com>>: Hi!

Welcome akafred, And welcome to strange-firstname group :D, mine is German. I hope you will enjoy the community. Remember it is a 14 years old project with many contributors. Many things will look not perfect/odd/really-buggy. But you will see that when you come with a nice fix or change, people will be pleased. I'm in the community since 4 years and actual 3.14 release maintainer. Regards, Le 30/09/2014 09:41, akafred a écrit :
