Friends and colleagues, It's looking promising that I'll be speaking in a few weeks, to a group of library science students, about Koha. One of the things I'd like to push hard on in the presentation is that we are a truly global community. I have learned, participating in this project, that "global community" is not an abstraction-it's real people, with real faces and voices! To help them learn the same thing, I'd like to show them some of *your* faces! If you'd like to be a part, send a short greeting to me for inclusion, not later than the end of this month. It could be video, or audio-and-a-picture, or even picture-and-text-whatever you've time for, and are comfortable with! Tell who you are, where you are, and who you work for, and any greeting you'd like to pass to someone who's seeing our community for the very first time. Be brief-30 seconds or a minute, tops! If you speak English non-natively, speaking your native language is fine, too! (a translation would be nice.) Production quality doesn't need to be perfect, just do the best you can with whatever tools you have, and send it along to me (directly, please, rather than the list). I'll wrap up the contributions into a short video for use in the presentation, and afterwards, I'll creative-commons it, for anyone to use. My editing criteria: if you go too long, I might trim where I have to, but I'll let you know. If a whole *bunch* of people from one country contribute, not all of them will make it in, probably-so don't take it personally. Un-nice commentary will be quashed mercilessly. Thanks in advance to all of you who choose to participate! J. David Bavousett (who's doing this on his own, but is also...) Library Systems Analyst | P | T | F | S |
