Re: [Koha] KohaCon 2017 Online Registration Form

[Joann Ransom]

I completely endorse Paul's sentiments. Having high local participation is
a key point of KohaCon and is the very reason it circulates around the
globe.

I urge the organisors to issue a statement clarifying why the registration
was imposed and what the view is towards local participation.

Re: [Koha] KohaCon 2017 Online Registration Form

[Joann Ransom]

Me too; it will also be the first time ever that a registration fee will be
charged (and yes I know it is relatively small but there is a principle at
stake here).

[Koha] Koha World Tour

[Joann Ransom]

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you know that the itinerary for my Koha World Tour is 
complete and details are being added as they come to hand for events I will be 
attending as I travel around the globe. 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 be updating my blog periodically – not every day because I will be too 
busy – but hopefully once for each city. I will also be tweeting as @jransom 
using #kohaworldtour

I also want to publically thank the generous sponsors who have helped make this 
tour possible:
• Calyx
• Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia
• Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang
• First Ray Consulting
• Libserve Solutions
• Catalyst Europe
• PTFS Europe
• Interleaf Technologies
• Libriotech
• Biblibre
• Bywater
It is not a complete list because I know there are others still pulling the 
itinerary together but we are on our way!

Cheers Jo.

Hi Faye

Thank you for your good wishes. I am indeed blessed to be able to undertake
this trip and yes it is amazing!

I simply couldn't fit in all the offers of hospitality unless I made it a 6
month trip. I'm really sorry to have missed so many places particularly
Africa, the Middle East and South America plus most of the USA.

Kind regards

Jo.

[Koha] Round the World Koha Tour

[Joann Ransom]

I  have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the global Koha community and
in the space of less than a week we have ourselves a Koha World Tour!

The draft itinerary can be seen online here:

http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/665664/Round-the-World-Koha-Tour/

While it does circumnavigate the world it misses out on huge chunks which
will have to wait for another time. I can't, in all conscience, take more
than 3 months away from the workforce and will have to get a real job at
some point!

I have shown the local hosts or contacts for each leg in case people would
like to help or host.

I will have 3 topics that I would love to talk about:


   1. The Origins of Koha: why we developed it, why Koha, how it has
   developed and why it is so jolly special;
   2. The Koha Community: this is why its so special :) Will talk about how
   the community works and how to get the best out of belonging;
   3. Te Takere: transforming a c1960s library service into a thriving
   community centre. As leader of this fantastic project it has been a career
   changing gig and one which has required a whole new approach. With visitor
   counts rising from 18k a  month to over 40k and reported youth crime down
   60% after the first year of opening we were doing something right.


Once I have firmed up a few more leads and checked the feasibility of this
from a booking flights point of view I'll post a firm itinerary.

Many thanks - and I can't wait to meet you!

[Koha] Round the World Koha Speaking Tour

[Joann Ransom]

Hi everyone,



I have a few months available and am planning a round the world speaking
tour starting late  August this year – so really soon!



I would love to visit as many countries as I can with strong Koha presences
and I am looking for partners to help make this a viable proposition.



What I am seeking your help with is libraries, vendors or individuals who
would be willing to ‘host’ me ie accommodation, domestic travel, a bit of
hospitality. I don’t need posh – happy to homestay J In exchange I would
love to speak on Koha origins, Koha community or Te Takere (which is a
truly awesome public library / community centre I have developed over the
last 4 years) and / or mix and mingle in gatherings. I’m basically happy to
sing for my supper in any way that is required J.



My draft itinerary is set out below and if anyone is able to help make this
happen personally or by passing this email on to someone who can help that
would be awesome. I’m so excited at the thought of meeting many of you in
this great global Koha family that we have created.



Many thanks



Jo.



Draft itinerary:



(I need to travel in one direction around the globe)



Philippines, Malaysia, India, Turkey, Greece, France, Germany, Austria,
Czech Republic, Sweden, Norway, UK, Ireland, USA, Colombia, Chile,
Argentina.

[Koha] Round the World Koha Speaking Tour

[Joann Ransom]

If I say it I have to do it right; I would love to come visit the global Koha 
community in the next 3 months. Happy to speak and schmooze and whatever else 
is needed to help make this happen! If you would like to find out more please 
read more below and get in touch with me.

Norway is the first jigsaw piece set for late September and it looks like 
Kansas is going to be a go.

Many thanks

HI Mengu

This is a wonderful Koha story!

May I just check that you have made the code of all the enhancements you made 
to the Koha source code available to the Koha community under the terms of the

Kind regards

Hi Michelle

Try this - export as excel - dump out the columns of data you don’t need:


Annual Stocktake report:

select 
barcode,items.itype,title,holdingbranch,itemcallnumber,publicationyear,barcode,wthdrawn,
copyrightdate,dateaccessioned,

(PS Change the 15 at the end of the stocktake to be larger than you expect 
your collection to be)

I'm a newbie, so I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I'm under a time

How can I run a quick report that tells me the dollar value of our library's 
inventory? I've got a report for the total number of items by type, but can't 
figure out how to generate the $$$.

Many thanks, and please feel free to email me directly with any suggestions.

Re: [Koha] Koha Fundraising Committee Draft Terms of Reference

[Joann Ransom]

I have had some thoughts:

1. Structure: I see no reason why a person should be limited to 3 years of 
service. I am happy for people to offer themselves up for election as many 
times as they like; the community will decide if they are still adding value to 
the committee;

2. Meetings: In addition to monthly formal meetings, my expectation is that the 
committee will make heavy use of email for discussion and debate in order to 
accommodate a globally disbursed committee straddling many timezones. This 
includes the ability to pass motions via email PROVIDED THAT such decisions and 
resolutions are recorded in the minutes of the monthly meetings; 

3.   Quorum: how about at least 50% of the membership. The reason being that 3 
is only 30% of a 9 member committee. If the committee is 7 then you require 4 
for a quorum. I am loath to support a 'miniority' rules situation.

I have not considered what might be missing  so I may well come back for second 
bite at this!

Cheers Jo

Great anyone have more thoughts?

BTW nothing has been done behind the scenes...  All discussions have been 
posted to the mailing lists and talked about and presented at conferences / 
hackfests.  Nothing has or will be hidden.  I just want to make sure that we're 
clear on that :)

Has anyone reviewed the document at all?  And there was no push to get the 
bylaws voted on at the last meeting because we fell short of a long enough 
review period (but since we had finished the doc we wanted to make sure it was 
available for some discussion at the general meeting)...  Not to vote on.

Mirko we need more volunteers - are you willing to help here?  You have good 
opinions.

Thanks,
Brendan

Re: [Koha] Koha Fundraising Committee Draft Terms of Reference

[Joann Ransom]

Hi all,

Can I just clarify my understanding of the situation:

* The Koha community  have decided to establish a Koha Fund for developing Koha,
* Te Horowhenua Trust have agreed to be the 'banker' and umbrella for a 
Fundraising and a Grants subcommittee,
* The Koha Community is developing operating guidelines for the two committees,
* Johnathan is willing and available to work on Koha under contract to THT and 
paid from the Koha fund,
* A number of potential donors to the fund are supportive of this plan,
* Johnathan has made a decision to resign from BibLibre.

My take on this is that the Koha community is not responsible for Jonathan's 
decision to resign from Biblibre and be in the difficult situation he now finds 
himself.
 
Our responsibility is to collectively establish the 2 Koha fund committees.

Have I over-simplified that or is that about right?

Regards

Jo.

Hello All -

I have been quite busy lately and I haven't been able to get an update out.  
(You'll notice that I have not even been present in IRC)  We had some family 
trips.

Anyways, the updates you've all been waiting for.

1. From Joann - the MOU has been passed around and signed by everyone so far (I 
believe - Jo please correct me here if I am wrong on that).  So that means we 
are totally ready to start collecting money since THT has established a bank 
account for the Fund.  YAY on that.  We do have some code for a paypal button, 
that we could put on the homepage of koha-community.org immediately - but that 
really needs to be decided by the community as a whole.  Let's vote at the next 
general meeting about that.

2. I have completed a draft of the ByLaws for the committee.  That has been 
passed around to the committee members of the Fund for review, additions, and 
comments.  We have set a 1 week timeline from today for the completion of that. 
 After that we will release it to the whole community for additional comments, 
additions, and questions.  We should have 1~2 weeks of it being publicly 
available for review before it is voted on at a general irc meeting.

3. ByWater Solutions, Biblibre, and PTFS-Europe have all pledged to submit 
money to the International Koha Fund to help seed the fund immediately and once 
we are ready to roll.  That way we have some money to do some good projects for 
the community.

4. Jonathan Druart has resigned from Biblibre effective May 1st and is 
currently unemployed.  I propose the we use some of the money of the Fund to 
hire him as a contractor to a) sign-off on bugs b) QA bugs c) clean up bugzilla 
(for example we have a large number of bugs that are major or critical for some 
that have no patches even written for them, plus there is also a bunch of other 
clean up that will help every other developer in the community - that honestly 
none of us really have time to do).  Since he has no allegiance to a support 
provider - he is exactly the third party person we are looking for.

Please discuss and I'm sorry to have missed the last general meeting.

Thanks and Cheers,
Brendan Gallagher

Hi All -

Is everyone clear on what we are trying to do here?

This is to raise money for Koha, to be spent on Koha.  If you don't understand 
what the purpose of this is - then please ask questions.  Are we forgetting why 
we are here?
http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2014/10/09/kohacon-14-day-3-funding-the-koha-project/
Is a decent summary of what is needed...  Let's help each other get this moved 
through.  Anyone that helps I'll be more than happy to help back in any way 
possible that I can.  (I've become a really decent BBQ chef)

I think the meeting is tomorrow, please join into the cause!!!  We need you all 
!!!

Cheers,
Brendan

[Koha] MOU to establish a fund for Koha Development

[Joann Ransom]

Hi everyone,

Please find attached a draft MOU which Bob Birchall and I have been quietly 
developing for the last few months to establish a fund for Koha development. 
This is a follow up to a suggestion made at KohaCon in Argentina last year.

It is a high level document expressing intent - not designed to be a legal 
contract contestable in court. The real work and thinking needs to done in 
establishing the 'rules' for the grants committee including composition etc but 
that will all sit outside this MOU. This document will allow us to get started.

The Te Horowhenua Trustees have accepted this document and are happy to sign.  
I would like to discuss this at the IRC meeting today / tonight (depending on 
where you live) with a view to the Koha Community nominating 4 signatories who 
are long serving members of the community and who can sign on behalf of us all.

Remember: this is a statement of intent only.

I'm not sure how to get this on the agenda; perhaps someone can help me :)

Kind regards

Jo.

Subject: Re: [Koha] RFID/Koha

Just chiming in, we have Koha and an RFID system from FE Technologies.  We were 
the first Koha installation they had done and it took a lot of time and effort 
to get their software to talk to Koha via SIP - they even had to create a 
differentiated version of their software for it to work.  Since then, however, 
we haven't had any problems.  I would say though we are a very small library 
with only one self-check kiosk and whilst we have a checkout pad at the 
librarian's desk, I only use it for encoding tags, not for checking out as that 
part of the FE Tech software does not work very well with Koha.  It works but 
it's very fiddly and only does single items.

When we were looking at RFID systems, Bibliotheca and 3M were the others we 
looked at.  Bibliotheca sent us a quote but weren't interested otherwise.  3M 
Australia on the other hand have a lot of experience in doing Koha 
installations in New Zealand.  They were dearer than FE Tech though, which is 
why we went with FE Tech who had assured us they were compatible with Koha and 
fitted within our budget constraints.  If you have the money, I would suggest 
talking to 3M and ask them for contacts of installations they've done with Koha 
in NZ for feedback.

Cheers!

We are just about to flip our acquisitions budget over to the next financial

budget to the 'next' budget so that they will show in the 'ordered' column of 
the acquisitions summary screen when I close of 2013/2014 and make 2014/2015

Can anyone help?

Hello Joann,

I'm Jamie LaRue from Colorado, USA (formerly of Douglas County Libraries), and 
Ross Balharrie recommended that I talk with you.

Colorado is working on a statewide ebook content management platform. That's 
well underway, but we've hit a snag in our attempts to integrate the product 
with a Koha-based consortium. The administrator of that system don't have a lot 
of experience with APIs. It's probably too late for us to find a magic solution 
to accomplish this by the time our grant is up, but I wonder if you might have 
some suggestions for programmers who do have that expertise? This is the 
perfect prototype for an international cooperation, and Koha is very definitely 
picking up speed here.

I'd appreciate any leads you might provide. Thanks!

 Hello everyone,
 
 After a brainstorming session this morning I have come up with the idea of an 
 Apple and Android app that give users the ability to manage their Koha 
 account without signing in the library catalogue. Not knowing the limitations 
 of apps (so I may be asking for too much!) these are the features that I  
 feel patrons would find useful in a Koha app. There may be other crucial 
 tasks that I haven't listed below that other libraries or patrons would find 
 useful.
 
 1.The app keeps the patron signed in (probably by entering their Library 
 card number and password into the app)
 2.Lists all resources currently issued to their card (or maybe the ones 
 due in the next x number of days?)
 3.Alerts patrons to resources that are coming up overdue.
 4.Gives the patron the ability to renew books from the app, with a single 
 swipe or click
 5.Alerts the patron to Holds that come available for pickup
 6.Gives the patron the ability to delete the hold with a single swipe or 
 click and at the same time alerts the library via an email or something that 
 the book is no longer needed.
 7.Gives the patron the ability to contact the library via the app. 
 8.Gives the patron he ability to review a resource and leave a star 
 rating (if this is enabled in the catalogue).
 9.And the nice to have would be the ability to have something like amazon 
 recommendations Patrons who read this book also read.)
 
 I would imagine patrons would want the ability to download the app for free 
 from the Google play or iTunes store.  
 
 Is there any library interested in such a development and a developer with 
 the skills to undertake the project?  Or possibly someone is already working 
 on this.
 
Hi Susan

Have you seen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.net.catalyst.KiritakiKoha

This does a bunch of the above already, and could be extended to do the rest. 
It isn't under active development, but with some funding it could easily be :)

Hi dear KOHA community,

We would like to say a few words about the great KOHA migration project
that is going on in Turkey lately.

This project initiated by Republic of Turkey Ministry of Culture and
Tourism and Near East University.
The project itself aims to migrate all the Public Libraries that are
operating under authority of Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
And this makes up to total 1112 branches, with more than 800.000 users
total and approx. 8.000.000 bibliographic records currently.
Also it's anticipated that this movement will bring great attraction from
other libraries located around the country and also from some other
organisations as well.

As Near East University, Innovation and IT Center we are dealing with the
technical aspects of the project. Also I would like to point out that Near
East University Grand Library has been actively using a modified version of
KOHA since 2005 and made some software contributions to KOHA project from
time to time.

We are happy to announce this to the community.

[Koha] Photo from KohaCon11 in Mumbai

[Joann Ransom]

Hi all,

I am looking for a couple of photos from KohaCon11 in Mumbai. There were a
couple of photos taken of us foreigners with lots of the local students and
other people who attended. Also, a group photo taken on the steps near the
end of the conference. I have searched Dorika and Paul's Flickr stredams
but can't find them. Can anyone help?

Cheers Jo.

Re: [Koha] KUDOS 2012

[Joann Ransom]

Hi Greg,

One option you could consider is to put in a bid to host KohaCon13. I too
cannot afford to go to KohaCon12 because it is in the same financial year
as KohaCon11 for us. Depending on when your financial year runs KohaCon13
might be in the right financial period for you.

Cheers Jo.

 we could collaborate with?

 I guess I can't ask the questions without volunteering something.

 1. OK, look, we could hold it here at Rolling Hill, but St. Joseph isn't
 the most exciting place in the world; I can't imagine attendance would
 be that good.
 2. August?
 3. I could volunteer to be Sergeant at Arms where ever it's held.
 4. I could do a presentation/demo of either RaCHeL, our inhouse
 development of a children's playstation, or LibPAC*, our public access
 computer system.
 5. If I do end up attending, either the library proper, or me
 personally, will donate $100 USD towards bagels and cool-aid.
 6. Riverwalk in San Antonio? Chena Hot Springs**, Alaska? Denver?
 Douglas County, Co? New Orleans? (are there any Koha libraries in any of
 these places?)

Hi Greg,

 Tell you what, let's all get together in Bangkok, Thailand, from June 1
 to June 30 for KohaCon 2013. Nothing in the KohaCon charter says it has
 to be held near a Koha library, right? I can get there in mid-May and
 make all the arrangements, and stay till mid-July for cleanup.

Re: [Koha] Well, this is disappointing ...

[Joann Ransom]

You can't help those who won't help themselves. The LibLime relationship
with Koha is well documented and a cursory internet search would clearly
show that.

It does seems short sighted though..

 Indiana University; The Information School at the University of

[Koha] Plea for help from Horowhenua Library Trust re: Koha

[Joann Ransom]

As I am sure most of you are aware, Horowhenua Library Trust is the birth
place of Koha and the longest serving member of the Koha community. Back in
1999 when we were working on Koha, the idea that 12 years later we would be
having to write an email like this never crossed our minds. It is with
tremendous sadness that we must write this plea for help to you, the other
members of the Koha community.

The situation we find ourselves in, is that after over a year of battling
against it, PTFS/Liblime have managed to have their application for a
Trademark on Koha in New Zealand accepted. We now have 3 months to object,
but to do so involves lawyers and money. We are a small semi rural Library
in New Zealand and have no cash spare in our operational budget to afford
this, but we do feel it is something we must fight.

For the library that invented Koha to now have to have a legal battle to
prevent a US company trademarking the word in NZ seems bizarre, but it is
at this point that we find ourselves.

So, we ask you, the users and developers of Koha, from the birth place of
Koha, please if you can help in anyway, let us know.

Regards,

Jo.

Thank you so much for your speedy and supportive replies ... I'm feeling a
little less despairing now :)

I have set up a PayPal account for gathering funds towards mounting a legal
challenge. It is a separate account from the HLT
 operating accounts and I am very happy to give a community representative
access to the records etc.

So here it is:

[Koha] Koha Indian domain names

[Joann Ransom]

Hi everyone,

HLT has recently taken ownership of the following domain names of behalf of
the koha community:

   - koha-community.in
   - koha-community.org.in
   - koha.in
   - koha.org.in


We would like to offer the use of these to domains to Indian Koha
libraries. For example:

   - *granthalaya.koha-community.in* AND *granthalaya.koha.org.in*  could
   both point to http://www.granthalaya.org
   - *delhipublic.koha.in* could redirect to http://www.dpl.gov.in
   - *magarpatta.koha.in*  could redirect to http://library.mpatta.com  etc.


Does this idea have any appeal? Naturally there would be no cost for this -
it is community property after all. If you are interested please contact
Chris Cormack : chr...@catalyst.co.nz

Kind regards

Jo.

 I'm starting to think about sorting accommodation soon, has this

Re: [Koha] April 13th, 2005 entry

[Joann Ransom]

Koha is Koha, LibLime Kohaproduct is a proprietary derivative. Nothing wrong
with that - but lets not confuse the 2.

 Hi everyone:

 As a former IT director for a library system that was planning to
 implement Koha, but subsequently chose an alternate path, I would
 recommend you approach this topic with delicacy,   What is said
 publicly and what truly happened is not always the same story. I would
 not publicly discuss all aspects of what occurred with me and my
 former site, and the same is true for any library in this situation.
  It may be that discussing issues from two years ago  is not
 productive for anyone - especially the hard working librarians in New
 Jersey about whom you'd be speaking.

 East Brunswick was an early PTFS customer and contributed ideas and
 energy to Koha - ideas which we proudly made available to all -- via
 our public git hub.  Some features have been adopted by other Koha
 users -- some features have not.

 East Brunswick did indeed find Koha 3.x slow in areas related to
 circulation - we worked to address their concerns. They were a Horizon
 site and the speed of that thick client application was for them  too
 tantalizing and familiar to give up; a web application - like Koha -
 is in some cases - slower than a thick client - like Horizon.

 Despite the departure of a valued customer, we have continued to make
 significant improvements in response time, both with sponsored
 development from customers and sponsored development by PTFS.

 We will soon be publishing a new release of LibLime Koha in download
 format as well as a unified git repository.  This release includes the
 latest performance improvements we have made to the application
 including the use of the Plack environment which simulates a
 persistent run time environment for PERL.  In that release,
 circulation transactions are now  1/3 of a second.

 Lori - what else can I supply to help you set the record straight?

  were happily running Koha, and then joined/got absorbed into a

Re: [Koha] Kohacon11 : Last date of paper submission extended till August 30 2011

[Joann Ransom]

Hi Koustubha,

I am afraid I will not have time to submit written papers for publication
either. I have booked a week of annualleave immediately prior to KohaCon11
to get it done but even then was hoping to produce just written notes and a
powerpoint. I guess the organisers at your end need to make the call on how
to proceed. I would not be at all offended to be dropped from the programme
if it won't fit your plans for written conference papers.

 Hi Koustubha

 I don't ever write full presentations, only notes for myself.
 Submitting full papers is a very academic conference type of thing to
 do, this would definitely be the first Kohacon that had written papers.

 Is this a must have, or just a 'it would be nice to have' condition?

 Hi chris,
 Actually we are planning to have all the presentations / papers published
 as a  Souvenir plus CD. So in order to have the same ready for handing over
 to participants during the conference itself, its necessary to have the
 papers / presentations in beforehand.

 Still if the community feels this is not done. Let me know and I will
 discuss with VPM.

 Hello All,

 Are any libraires using a realtime online library card application

 year.  We would like patrons to fill out library card applications at a
 self-service computer station and then immediately present verification of
 residency to receive their card.  Any experience with form building programs

Firstly, when using LTFL, tags are imported to a separate tag cloud than
tags originally made from Koha. We are trying to combine these into one
tag
cloud instead, but can't figure out how.

Second- LTFL comes with a tag browser, a separate search engine for the

 Joann,

 Thanks for the reply. Might I suggest that your word of caution reflects
 the point that I was making. You write: didn't see any value in shifting
 ... worked beautifully.  My terminology was if it ain't broke, don't fix
 it.



Slowly it dawned on us that  we were on an abandoned fork. The main
 project had raced on and got better and better.

 If, as you write 'abandoned' = 'beautiful'|'perfect for our needs', then
 did 'better and better' = new features that were part of your requirements?
 [and I'm not sure what an 'abandoned fork' really means; whether you simply
 add logos and change layout schemes in CSS, or modify MySQL structure and
 delete perl modules, every customization is a 'fork' that is not followed
 by the community at large. We probably all do it without feeling
 abandoned.]

 When we did make the jump to 2.x it was hideous - everything was broken
 in our eyes.
   Shifting to 3.2 was another big jump; again we had left it too long and
  did not stay current.

 Were you in a production environment? 'Hideous' and 'broken' are anathema
 to me (but my IT training and experience for a quarter of a century from
 the late 1950s was in national defense) and since then I have always
 attempted to programme to [end] users needs. I think you're saying that
 'stay current' was the cause of your dilemma - a possibility that I wish to
 avoid.

 So from now on this is my vow :) I intend to always upgrade to the current
 stable version, limit customizations to an absolute minimum, and when I do
 commission enhancements I also fund for that work to be incorporated into
 the main trunk (and yes it doubles the cost but I want to be certain I am
 always swimming in the main Koha stream).

 I take my hat off to you (and to those who can double your budget), but
 would suggest that while swimming in the main stream is ideologically
 perfect, some of us may be constrained to more pragmatic surroundings. The
 charity that I work for looked for a low [to reasonable internal] cost
 solution to its needs. We have succeeded *thanks_to_Koha* and consider
 additional bells and whistles to be a low priority luxury. Your [and
 others'] mileage might well vary.

 In peace, friendship and respect,
 Paul

 This is the great strength of community-driven, open license products -
 you
 can reach a point where you have achieved what you set out to do. Anything
 after that can be considered much lower priority. Quite frankly, my only
 concern at this point is to get rid of Zebra and integrate different
 search
 methodology which is apparently not high on the Koha horizon; barcoded
 spine labels, dustjacket images and emailed fines are not in our
 specifications.

 Everyone achieving their own specs, again, is a Koha strength. Otherwise
 we'll end up following the M$ business code - if Win98 is good enough
 for
 a Koha kiosk (and it most certainly is) you don't need to go chasing
 Vista,
 Win7 or Win8.  Our Ubuntu 10.10 server is perfect for Koha, so I only look
 for the ultra-rare Ubuntu security alerts.

 Given our satisfaction with Koha, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on
 future versions; but in the meanwhile, I respectfully beg to differ with
 the statement that everyone will be expected to get themselves upgraded.

  Caitlin,
  This has been discussed very recently with some folks who are working
 with
  ByWater Solutions.  Ian Walls of ByWater summarized the discussion this
 way:
  It looks like there are two possible developments being discussed here:
 
  1.  Auto-generated book covers when no image is available (using
 standard
  backgrounds with the title over top).  The color or base background
 image
  would be algorithmically generated, using some cool algorithm (different
  colors for different types, etc.)
 
  2.  Uploading and using images for book covers on a per-title basis.
  There is already an RFC for this out
  there: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Local_cover_images_RFC
 
  Both are great ideas.  Perhaps they could be merged into a larger
  framework:
 
  The user can upload custom images, or enable external content sources
 like
  LibraryThing or Amazon.  For any given title, there would be a hierarchy
 of
  which images to use (when available):
 
  1. The custom uploaded image
  2a. external content provider 1 (Amazon?)
  2b. external content provider 2 (Baker and Taylor?)
  etc etc etc (for all that you have enabled)
  3. Auto-generated book cover images
 
  This would give libraries tons of flexibility for where to get images,
 and
  both parts could be done independently of each other, as funding allows.
 
  From a developers perspective, the auto-generated book covers
 development
  is probably quicker (and thus cheaper) than the
 uploadedimages development,
  though the latter could draw on the patron image code and structure when
  it's developed.  Since the latter is also under development by another
  company, when it's released we can test it, and if it needs any further
  modification, either have that company do it, or tackle it with them
 (for
  much less than full development price).
 
  This is a great discussion, and I'm so glad to see it!  I've got some
  other development ideas I need to put out to our Partners, things I know
 a
  lot of libraries have been asking after.  Look for those in coming days.

 Hi all,

 Horowhenua Library Trust are running 3.2  and uses the acquisitions module
 in to mange annual budgets, funds, orders and receiving of stock.

 We place orders against the 'current' active budget (eg 2010/2011 with
 start/end dates 01/07/2010 - 30/06/2011). We are currently ordering stock
 which needs to come out of the 'next' active budget ie 2011/2012 with
 start/end dates 01/07/2011-30/06/2012).

 My problem is that some titles being ordered now need to be recorded
 against the 'next' active budget ie 2011/2012 not the current one. So my
 question is how do other libraries manage that?

 Cheers Jo.

 1.  Auto-generated book covers when no image is available (using standard
 backgrounds with the title over top).  The color or base background image
 would be algorithmically generated, using some cool algorithm (different
 colors for different types, etc.)

 2.  Uploading and using images for book covers on a per-title basis.
 There is already an RFC for this out there:
 http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Local_cover_images_RFC

 Both are great ideas.  Perhaps they could be merged into a larger
 framework:

 The user can upload custom images, or enable external content sources like
 LibraryThing or Amazon.  For any given title, there would be a hierarchy of
 which images to use (when available):

 1. The custom uploaded image
 2a. external content provider 1 (Amazon?)
 2b. external content provider 2 (Baker and Taylor?)
 etc etc etc (for all that you have enabled)
 3. Auto-generated book cover images

 This would give libraries tons of flexibility for where to get images, and
 both parts could be done independently of each other, as funding allows.

 From a developers perspective, the auto-generated book covers development
 is probably quicker (and thus cheaper) than the uploadedimages development,
 though the latter could draw on the patron image code and structure when
 it's developed.  Since the latter is also under development by another
 company, when it's released we can test it, and if it needs any further
 modification, either have that company do it, or tackle it with them (for
 much less than full development price).

 This is a great discussion, and I'm so glad to see it!  I've got some other
 development ideas I need to put out to our Partners, things I know a lot of
 libraries have been asking after.  Look for those in coming days.

 Cheers,


 -Ian

 Hey all-

 Is there anyway to upload cover images for each book into Koha? We're
 currently importing covers from Amazon for our books with ISBNS. However,
 we're hoping to create records for our student work (comic books) and would
 like to scan and add these covers to be displayed in the record as well.

 Any ideas?

 CM

Re: [Koha] KOBLI, a customized version of KOHA - AVAILABLE

[Joann Ransom]

Hi there,

Has the code bee cotributed back to Koha trunk or is this a fork?

Cheers Jo.

  Dear all,



 As we promise is now available for download the first release of Kobli 1.4
 rc1, based on Koha 3.4.



  Kobli 1.4, released in two versions: a version to install from scratch,
 and once as a VMware virtual appliance for immediate installation in the
 Cloud.



 The both packages can be retrieved from  http://kobli.bage.es/?page_id=22



 The website of the Kobli community is http://kobli.bage.es, which provides
 complete information of the project.

 *Asunto:* KOBLI, a customized version of KOHA



 Dear all,

 I am Domingo Arroyo and I work for the Library Area in the Spanish Ministry
 of Culture.

 We have been working in order to make an ILS available to libraries of the
 Central Government.

 Last year we evaluated Koha as a possible solution (More information in our
 repository http://hdl.handle.net/10421/4711 ) and we started the KOHA
 customization for our libraries with MASmedios (a Spanish company)



 Our customization and development is focused on:



 -   Spanish (bd content, templates, etc.)

 -   Basic features in cataloguing (indicators, 008 and 006 tags..)

 -   Translator manager

 -   Bugs solution

 -   Css and styles

 -   Installation (in order to make easier the installation process
 for individual libraries)

 -   Digital repository add-on.



 We are involved in Koha community developing (basic features and Bugs
 solutions ) for future versions of Koha and testing.



 We have made a “customized version” and we have named it Kobli (Koha +
 biblioteca) and it will be available for libraries of the Central
 Government, and any other one, in a short time. This year at least five
 Central Government libraries are going to migrate to Koha-Kobli.



 We want to continue our work in Koha and our Kobli, so I hope you’ll find
 it interesting and valuable. We are keeping you informed about this project.
 If you want more information, please contact with:

[Koha] Managing ebooks and databases

[Joann Ransom]

Good morning my Koha friends,

I need some advice. We are running 3.2 and within a few months we will be
joing a consortia offering ebooks for download. It will either be Overdrive
or a vendor using the Overdrive platform. I am not interesting in discussing
how bad / evel etc Overdrive are - I have no choice as practically all of NZ
will be joining  together into several consortia.

My question is how do Koha libraries provide access to ebooks within the
Koha OPAC? Ditto with suubscription databases - is there a clever way to
manage these in a useful ways for library patrons?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers Jo.
