Hello everyone,
As already announced, the next Koha hackfest in Marseille will be in
March, 12th-16th. Registrations are open !!!
Should I explain what is the hackfest ?
OK, for newbies, I explain.
That's a week for anyone interested in being involved into Koha. About
50 persons, librarians and developers, from France and other countries,
meet to:
* meet
* test
* document
* translate
* patch
* talk
* share
* show
* try
* miss ... and ... retry
* discuss how to conquer the world (at least libraries...)
* eat and drink (OK, drink, it's after day-work. And it's not mandatory)
The FAQ:
*Q= what are the conditions to come ?*
A= none, except wanting to contribute to Koha
*Q= What is the cost ?*
A= it's free (but BibLibre does not pay for traveling fees, hotel, or food)
*Q= where does it take place ?*
A= Marseille, 108 rue Breteuil, in BibLibre office. We provide coffee,
desk, chairs, internet, video-projectors and cookies (many people come
with their local candies)
*Q= can I come only for a few days ?*
A= yes, but at least 2 days, in just one day, no time do contribute
anything.
*Q= I need an official letter*
A= Just drop me an email, I'll send one
*Q= I have no laptop*
A= mmmm.... tricky... we don't have any spare laptop, and it's hard to
contribute without laptop...
*Q= how to register ?*
A= easy : drop me an email
*Q= What about hotel, transportation,...*
A= You'll be added to a Google doc when you register.
*Q= I've heard about a cheese lunch, can you explain ?*
A= lunches are organized by BibLibre, in our office (there's no
restaurant large enough in the area), and each lunch has it's own theme.
The legendary "cheese lunch" includes 30+ different french cheese, in a
huge buffet (with some salads...). So you'll discover a part of French
gastronomy. This year, it will be tuesday 13th (I've been asked a few
times: "when is the cheese lunch, I can't be here the whole week, so I
want to be here for the cheese")
*Q= I'm veggie, can you take care of me ?*
A= yes, for sure. Just tell me when you register
*Q= I'm vegan, can you take care of me ?*
A= sorry, but no, too complex. You'll be on your own. But you can eat
with us, welcome.
