01 Dec '20

Hi All, As a long term follower of the perl advent <http://www.perladvent.org/2020/> calendar series, it's been on my mind for a few years now to emulate it for the Koha world.. As such, I've badgered a few devs for a bit of help and low and behold.. I'm proud to announce our very own: https://koha-community.gitlab.io/KohaAdvent Many thanks to my "volunteers" helping to bring this together at the last minute and especially Tomas for writing the first article to get us underway. The theme will be plugins, integrations and api's from the perspective of development. Have a great xmas everyone, *Martin Renvoize, MPhys (Hons)* <https://www.ptfs-europe.com> Development Team Manager Community Release Manager (19.11, 20.05) *Phone:* +44 (0) 1483 378728 *Mobile:* +44 (0) 7725 985 636 *Email:* martin.renvoize(a)ptfs-europe.com www.ptfs-europe.com Registered in the United Kingdom No. 06416372 VAT Reg No. 925 7211 30 The information contained in this email message may be privileged, confidential and protected from disclosure.

Hi! The next Koha-US Cataloging Special Interest Group meeting is this Thursday, December 3, 2020 at 8 PT, 9 MT, 10 CT, 11 ET, open to all--you don't have to be a Koha-US member to join! Can't make it? No worries--it will be recorded and posted to the Koha-US YouTube channel. December's topic is workarounds--the weird and the wonderful! And sharing documentation--any documentation--from the beautiful & online to the barely legible & invaluable hand-written notes. How can we share? How can we get involved in improving the manual? The wiki? How can we help each other be better catalogers? How can we help and support the cataloging curious, the occasional cataloger, and/or those who have had cataloging thrust upon them? And as always, bring your comments & questions, and please feel free to join us with video on and mic umuted for a great discussion! Details on joining us are here: https://koha-us.org/event/cataloging-special-interest-group-2/?instance_id=… Questions, comments, suggestions ahead of time, for this or future meetings? Send them to me! See you at the SIG!

Upgrade planning tools and processes.
by Raymund Delahunty 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

We are looking to upgrade our relatively heavily customised version of 18.11 to 20.11 in maybe June 2021. Our server is hosted externally and we do not have command-line access to it. The Koha system is supported and will be upgraded by a software support company which specialises in supporting Koha and other open source products. I'd be interested to know what upgrade management tools and procedures support companies and other Koha users in a position similar to us have used in the past, and how successful the upgrade experience was, and if you think it was helped be less painful than it could have otherwise been, given the tools and procedures you used. We have used a google document managed by the support company in the past and at times I found it difficult to see a timeline and to know where we were, issue by issue, with the multiple issues being reported and needing advice / fixes. Rather than clutter up this List I'd be happy to receive suggestions and comments directly at lib-systems(a)arts.ac.uk<mailto:lib-systems@arts.ac.uk>. Thanks.
