KUDOS Board meeting minutes, Feb 4, 2010
by Walls, Ian 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Community, Below are the KUDOS meeting minutes from today's board meeting. They will be posted to kudos.koha.org shortly, but I wanted to be sure everyone had a chance to look them over. I hope this clears up some of the questions about where KUDOS is going and how we hope to get there. If there are any ambiguities, please let us know, and we'll do our best to clarify. Cheers, Ian Walls KUDOS Vice President Kudos Board meeting #2 February 4, 2010 Present: John Brice (President), Ian Walls (Vice President), David Schuster (Treasurer), Vicki Teal Lovely (Secretary) 1. 501c3 filing. John has paperwork ready to go, just needs to be typed up. Vicki will post the ALA KUDOS minutes in Google docs. John will update mission statement with version approved at ALA. 2. Bylaws * Conflict of Interest Policy was approved at ALA summer, 2009 * Mission statement approved at ALAMW10: "The purposes of the Corporation are educational, literary, and scientific, specifically: to promote the study, improvement and support of the Koha Integrated Library System for the benefit of North American libraries and to foster cooperation with the global Koha community." * Membership statement approved at ALAMW10 will stand as is: "Membership should be for an institution in North America with an installation of Koha." * Dues Structure Single Library $100 - 1 vote Consortium $500 - 5 votes (at least 5 libraries or institutions working together) Vendor $100 - 1 vote Individual $100 - 1 vote - requires sponsorship from two library, consortia or vendor members since they do note meet the membership definition. At least one sponsor must be a library or consortium member. 1. Vendors serving on board. For now, we will not create a policy for this. The consensus is that we are comfortable with up to two vendors serving on the board, perhaps as member at large. All agree it would not be appropriate for vendor to serve as an officer (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary). However, we will not create a policy until the organization is up and running. When we are ready, the following may serve as a draft policy statement: Vendor representatives/individual developers are eligible to be nominated and elected to the board. Vendor representatives can only hold at large positions and can vote on board actions with the exception of matters dealing with issues detailed in the conflict of interest policy. They must recuse themselves when the board deals with such issues. There is no requirement for a vendor to be on the board. 1. Membership for individuals. Ian proposed that individuals could be sponsored by a member. Individuals could be eligible to serve on the board if they had a second sponsor. The dues structure above was modified to accommodate this category. 2. Virtual Conference with regional gathering. David proposed that we hold a virtual conference in late April or early May. People could gather regionally for an in person meeting in conjunction with the regional conference. Proposed dates are 4/28 & 4/29 and 5/6 & 5/7. We will poll Koha users regarding dates, potential regional hosts, and topics. This could be open to anyone in the world. Proposed time for conference is 9-3 so that regional groups have time for meeting. One or two day length depends on content. Potential web hosting options are elluminate and Go To Meeting/Webinar. 3.

Koha trademarks around the world
by Joann Ransom 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Hi all, George and I have been discussing the issue of Koha trademarks. We know that Koha has been registered in the USA by Liblime, and that the EU registration is being signed over to HLT, but what about the rest of world? Koha is a global phenomenon; should we be thinking about Koha in Asia, Africa, Latin America etc. Has it been registered anywhere else? What is stop any ratbag vendor setting up anywhere in the world from registering Koha in the same way that Liblime and Biblibre did? How do we find out, is it important and should we care? Cheers Jo.

Re: [Koha] New Member of the Koha Community
by Owen Leonard 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Welcome, Alison, > We're interested in keeping > up with and contributing to the Koha community. That's what we love to hear! There are some things to consider, going forward: - According to LibLime's web site Koha Express customers are on "the official Koha Project release (currently 3.0.2)." The actual up-to-date version is 3.0.5 (and you can check http://koha-community.org/download-koha/ for accurate information on the latest release). Or maybe you're on the latest version and LibLime's web site is out of date? - As Chris pointed out, command line access is pretty much expected as an available tool for maintenance and debugging. I don't know but I assume that you don't have shell access with Koha Express. That will sometimes make it hard for the list to offer suggestions for certain kinds of problems. You'll have to bear with us and understand that we may not be able to offer you a solution because of that. Right now you'll also hear lots of talk about Koha 3.2 which just had an alpha release. It has lots of great improvements and many bug fixes, so may soon have to put up with "upgrade to 3.2!" as a response to some issues :) I hope your host has plans to roll out the 3.2 upgrade quickly following the stable release! Good luck! -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Blank line in spine label
by Daniel Grobani 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Hi, We're a LibLime customer running LLEK, the latest version of which implemented Chris Nighswonger's quick spine label creator. LibLime is unable to provide support on this module, so I'm asking for help here. When I print a label for an item with a copy number, there's a blank line between the last line of the wrapped call number and the copy line. I'm surprised that blank lines aren't suppressed. Chris?

Licensing on koha-community.org
by Liz Rea 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

Currently there is a generic copyright statement on the temporary site at koha-community.org. I am assuming we don't really want to go the route of having any individual entity copyrighting the content of the site. If any entity would hold the copyright I'd imagine it would be HLT on behalf of the community, but you all have been at this much longer than I have, so I wanted to get your suggestions. Does anyone have suggestions as to which license, and what wording, to put on the site to license its content in a FOSS-friendly manner? Discuss. ;) Liz Rea NEKLS
