[Koha-devel] Presentation to mailing list: akafred

[Viktor.Sarge at regionhalland.se]

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

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 at akafred.com<mailto:koha at akafred.com> works though.

See ya :-)

Regards,

- Kjetil a.k.a. "Fred"
