Hi all, The management team here at LibLime is happy to announce a new initiative to foster community development and growth of the Koha project. As of this week, _every_ Sunday is Koha Project Day here at LibLime (for our NZ staff, this translates into Monday). Of course, throughout the week, we LibLimers spend the majority of our time working for our customers: writing specifications, doing development work, implementation, and support. Koha Project Day gives us a chance to give back to you -- the community that makes all of this possible! Barring any urgent support requests, or last-minute proposals due, we're planning to focus our energy entirely on the Koha Project itself during Koha Project Day -- every week. We'd like to extend the invitation to you, dear community. Join us any time on any Sunday and pitch in. Or, alternatively, pick a regular day/time that you find convenient and announce it to the rest of the community. It's strictly voluntary of course (for our staff too), so if you're unable to participate, we won't hold a grudge :-). But if you're able, join us and help out, there's plenty to do. Speaking of which, what is there to do? Glad you asked. Here's just a partial list: * organize and write documentation * write specifications for new proposed features * write technical documentation for existing Koha features * respond to questions/comments on the Koha lists * test features and report bugs * fix bugs :-) * read through the code and make comments * translate Koha into your native language * write that new feature you thought of * talk to the developers and tell them how to improve Koha Where is all of this happening? Well, you can join us in real time on the #koha channel on irc.katipo.co.nz. If you've not used IRC before, and you're running Windows, give mIRC a shot: http://www.mirc.com/ Well, that sums it up. Our first Koha Project Day starts tomorrow morning at 9:00am here in Ohio and runs for 15 hours to 5:00pm in New Zealand. If you're around, pop in and say hello :-) Cheers, -- Joshua Ferraro SUPPORT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Featuring Koha Open-Source ILS jmf@liblime.com |Full Demos at http://liblime.com/koha |1(888)KohaILS
