The hosts of KohaCon12 are pleased to announce more sponsors of this year's event. Thanks to the sponsors for sponsoring KohaCon12 to be hosted in Edinburgh this June by software.coop, the Library Co-op and Butte-Silver Bow Public Library – you've helped to make the conference a bit better and we really appreciate it! These organisations have answered our call for sponsors – thank you to all of them: * Full Monty Sponsors: - Tamil - PTFS Europe - Catalyst * Kind Hearts Sponsors: - Libriotech - Projektlink Konsult - The Galecia Group We are still looking for organisations who are prepared to show their support for Koha by making a financial contribution towards the cost of the conference. We aim to make the conference as accessible as possible so there is no registration fee for delegates, which means that we rely on the generosity of sponsors to make the event a success. All donations are welcome at http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/sponsoring-kohacon12/ whether or not you choose a sponsorship package. Registrations are still open at http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/registration/ About KohaCon12: KohaCon12 will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, 5-7 June 2012, followed by the hackfest 9-11 June. This is a free conference for everyone interested in the Koha library system, which is Free and Open Source Software. There is no registration fee, but we will ask that attendees pre-register. Calls for papers, sponsors and registrations are posted on the website. Details (travel, hotels, agenda draft, etc) can be found linked from http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/ KohaCon12 is the fifth KohaCon, following last year's successful conference in India which brought together users and developers worldwide. KohaCon12 will feature an international slate of speakers (both Koha users and active Koha contributors) conducting presentations and workshops on a diverse range of topics. Talks will cover a range of topics from general experiences of Koha through to technical information on the various modules. -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op. http://koha-community.org supporter, web and library systems developer.

Re: [Koha] Bulk patron anonymize/delete tool
by Fischer, Katrin 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

Hi Tom, you have to create a patron record to use as anonymous patron. Then you enter the borrowernumber of this user into the system preference AnonymousPatron. http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/administration.html#AnonymousPatron Hope that helps, Katrin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Tom Hanstra [mailto:tom@nd.edu] Gesendet: Mo 16.04.2012 22:26 An: Fischer, Katrin Betreff: Re: AW: [Koha] Bulk patron anonymize/delete tool We are seeing similar results to what you mention, in that the tool says information is deleted but nothing changes. Your bugzilla post mentions that things work "With an anonymous patron set up correctly". Can you tell me what settings are involved in setting that up "correctly". Because we evidently do not.

live database v. production/public databases
by Lenora Oftedahl 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

We've been running a production database that moves to a public database overnight. We're going with a live database where I'm accessing the same database that customers are using. What should we be looking out for as far as security issues? Thanx. Lenora StreamNet Regional Librarian Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

Pacific Northwest (North America) Regional meeting
by Lenora Oftedahl 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

Hearing no other bids for hosting, I'm willing to pull together a meeting here in Portland. Here's a Doodle poll with possible dates that fit my schedule. Note that Doodle will not let me choose whole days for the Schedule Event function, so I chose the start day & time for the poll. http://www.doodle.com/s4gw83sdgaz27cdt This event will be open to anyone who wants to visit Portland. I figure Thursday & Friday for unconference then Saturday for touring. I can arrange the Columbia River Gorge, or Washington/Oregon beaches. Or, we could arrange a Willamette Valley vineyard tour.

Thanks for that, but I still don't know why I'd care ... why would the user care what zebra is using as far as characters in the search string?

Upgrading & upgrading
by Lenora Oftedahl 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

So, we've got the quirks worked out in our Koha upgrade. Yeah, us! We are also migrating our website to Wordpress. We've gotten some bits of info from Butte-Silverbow, but we're wondering if there is anything in particular that we need to be careful of as we install the Wordpress software on our Koha machine. Any words of wisdom or bits of advice would be lovely. Thanx. Lenora StreamNet Regional Librarian Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission
