press for Koha
by Pat Eyler 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

I'm in the middle of writing some things up, but there's an interesting opportunity for us right now. I've been talking to the editor of WorldWatch (a website devoted to spreading international news about free software), and he's excited about Koha. If we can feed him original articles, links to other articles, and the like (particularily in non-english languages), he said he'd be happy to post them. I don't think we want to send in too much all at once. I'd also like to make sure that we can sustain it. So, here is the challenge. If you know about something going on in the Koha community, please write up a short article about it in your native language. See if you can get it published at a website, or in a local news magazine or newspaper (with an on-line presence). Then let me know ao that we can get it sent in to WorldWatch. If you'd like examples of what might be newsworthy, here are a few: The recent donation of a spanish translation of Koha, and the formation of the koha(a)es.koha.org mailing list The recent formation of a group in Brazil who are going to be translating Koha for us. ESIEE's committment to using and improving Koha in France. What else is going on? How can we let people know about it? -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org

3rd pre 2.0 meeting
by Pat Eyler 18 Jun '03

18 Jun '03

Well, we had another pre 2.0 bug meeting. Many people showed up and most lurked, but several participated. Some interesting threads came up: NPL is closing in on their migration from Spydus to Koha. Concurrently, there seems to be some interest in Koha building in Australia (currently about 80% of Spydus new business is in Australia). It looks as though interesting things may start happening there once 2.0.0 comes out. Interest in a Z39.50 server cropped up again. It won't happen in 2.0.0, but 2.0.1 is a very real possibility. I (Pat Eyler) will be talking to the developers of Zebra (a free z39.50 server engine) to see about integrating their work into Koha. NPL talked a bit about their work with the bulkimporter. Paul agreed to take on a bug that NPL found. The Spanish language translators from Argentina asked about how to work on translations for 2.0.0. You can look at www.koha.org/irc/ for a full log. If you are interested in getting involved, please feel free to get involved in the next irc meeting -- next Wednesday, same time, same place. -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org

1.9.3 announcment
by Pat Eyler 23 May '03

23 May '03

[I've modified Paul's announcment a little bit. It would be nice to get this translated into any languages we can and get it submitted to appropriate news sites.] The Koha project is happy to announce the release of Koha 1.9.3. This release adds a lot of bugfixes (thanks to everyone who's helped!), a first cut at z3950 support, and a script for migration from other ILSs. This release marks a feature freeze pending the 2.0.0 release. As always, this release is available from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/koha 1.9.3 requires a newer version of MARC::Record than previous versions of Koha. Please make sure you're running MARC::Record 1.26. We've also made a few more tweaks to the Database Schema. If you've already installed an earlier version of Koha, you will need to update your DB to reflect these. 1.9.3 is a beta level release. It is not intended for production use. Please don't run your library on it, as this may result in martians invading your staff lounge and drinking all your coffee. If you are evaluating, testing, or playing with 1.9.3 for any reason, please help us make it better by reporting bugs on bugs.koha.org. Feel free to fix them too. More information about Koha is available from http://www.koha.org

new developers
by Pat Eyler 10 May '03

10 May '03

[please feel free to translate this and distribute it. -pate] In the course of the last week, I've added two new developers (from France) to our Sourceforge site. It looks like I'll be getting to add a couple more (from Argentina) in the near future. I'm really excited to see more groups joining up with Koha, and I can't wait to see the kinds of things that start happening. Let me take this opportunity to talk about four things: 1) If you're interested in working on Koha, please let Chris, Paul, or I know. We can always use people who want to work on coding, testing, writing documentation, or what have you. Even if your Perl skills aren't the greatest, there are plenty of ways you can contribute. 2) If you are registered as a developer, but you haven't been active in the last year or so, please get in touch with me. I promise I won't try to talk you into working on the project, I just want to see if you're still there and still interested. 3) We're hitting the home stretch towards 2.0.0, this means we need to be extra careful about what we do with our sourcecode. If you're a developer and you've got an idea for a cool new feature, please DON'T add it to koha yet. If you've just got to work on it, please do so outside the normal cvs tree -- once 2.0.0 is out, we'll be relaxing this stance. 4) If you want to work on Koha, but don't know where to start, please take a look at bugs.koha.org ... there are a lot of little things that need to be fixed. Please feel free to grab a bug and squash it. thanks, -pate

Koha and the Trophees du libre
by Pat Eyler 05 May '03

05 May '03

As a bit of added excitement, it appears that Koha has made the list of finalists for the Trophees du Libre, a free software prize being awarded in Soissons, France on May 23rd 2003. There are 113 projects who are being considered for awards in 6 classifications. Koha is in the 'Applications for Public Agencies' category, where there are 20 finalists. Paul Poulain will be representing Koha at the awards ceremony. I think congratulations are in order for everybody who's contributed code, documentation, testing, or any other activities that have helped to make Koha what it is. Great job everyone! -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org
