Fwd: [Koha] Koha Community Marketing Initiative
by Bob Birchall 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

Forwarding from the general mailing list, with the usual apology to those who also read that list. Bob Calyx -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Koha] Koha Community Marketing Initiative Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2016 10:09:42 -0500 From: Nathan Curulla <nate(a)bywatersolutions.com> To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Greetings fellow Koha users! During the last general IRC meeting it was decided that it is time we got serious about marketing Koha globally as a community. There is still too much misunderstanding and fear based on misconceptions circulated by the larger proprietary ILS systems and it is time we fight back and educate our librarians on the realities of what we do. I will be heading up this initiative and would like to see who else is interested in taking part. For now, we have no budget for this so most of the marketing will be content that is created during volunteer time such as more regular press regarding features, website content, blog posts and social media. If you have experience marketing products or have a desire to be involved by writing content and directing the message we are trying to put out please let me know and we can put together a committee. Thanks much and I am excited to get our message out to a broader global user base! All the best, -Nate > Nathan A.

Kohacon2020! : Planning the International Koha Community Conference
by Irma Birchall 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Kia ora koutou, I'm Kathryn, if you don't know me, I work on the Koha team at Catalyst IT from the Wellington NZ office. Kohacon2020 you ask? Well, I don't know what I'm doing in 2020 either, but it turns out some people are already making plans :) I attended a meeting recently because New Zealand is bidding for two international library conferences in 2020, and Kohacon could make it three. The other two conferences that will have bids in from NZ are: * http://ifla.org/ The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, which some of you may have attended in Ohio USA this year * and http://www.iamslic.org/ The International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers, that recently held their annual conference in Mexico. Koha will be 20 years old in 2020, and some guy who's been working on Koha for a long while started a rumor that we should bring it back here for the big celebration. So, I will follow how the bids for IFLA and IAMSLIC go over the next year, as it's possible we could try and bring the conference dates together. Not that we can do much about it from a Koha perspective until 2019! I would be curious to hear from any Koha libraries out there who regularly or sometimes attend either of the other two conferences. Best wishes, Kathryn Kathryn Tyree // Project and Account Manager DDI // +64 4 803 2414 kathryn(a)catalyst.net.nz Level 6, Catalyst House 150 Willis Street, Wellington 6011 PO Box 11 053, Manners St Wellington 6142, New Zealand (Catalyst IT also has offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane)

I hope to meet as many of you as possible so if you are able to attend an event somewhere please come and say hi. I will also be tweeting as @jransom using #kohaworldtour." Joann Ransom is one of the librarians who worked with Chris Cormack to develop the original Koha library management system back in 1999. Joann, ex CEO of Horowhenua Library Trust, is travelling around the world aiming to meet as many Koha community members as possible. Joann has three main topics that she is happy to speak on: 1) Origins of Koha, 2) The Koha Community and what that means and 3) Te Takere <http://www.horowhenua.govt.nz/Places-Events/Community-Centres-Libraries>: transforming a modest public library service into a 21st century community centre. Hi Koha community, We can let you know that Joann is now on her way. Following a small but enthusiastic gathering at the Koha-OZ meetup in Sydney last night, we delivered Joann to the airport this morning. Her next stop is Malaysia. Dear Malaysian Koha Community <http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/665664/Round-the-World-Koha-Tour/>, Joann is looking forward to coming to you next. Thanks Jo for your visit and presentation about Koha in Sydney. Cheers, Irma CALYX
