Dear All,
With my continues efforts to provide services to LIS community free of cost i would like to inform you that many professionals are willing to implement Koha at their Institute (Particularly New)but they feels helpless. Therefore i would like to inform you that you can personally contact me to learn the same and i will provide you the Pre Configured Live DVD of koha exactly as per your requirements in such a way that you can immediately automate your library with few click of mouse free of cost and make beautiful Library website also. in case of further problem you may get remote support from my side and other community. Please note that all the above process will run perfectly as i have already implemented it at IIT Roorkee Saharanpur Campus and it is running without any problem since one year.
Dear friends now a days many new govt and private organizations came into existence so this is right time to prove yourself as a good librarian and play effective role in their setup in a cost effective manner. You start with OSS and later on decide what will suit future requirement. For more details feel free to contact.

Greetings, fellow members of the Koha community,
My name is Jared Camins-Esakov. There are two reasons that name might sound familiar. The first is that in my day job I do a lot of work with Koha (hosting, support, bespoke development, and all that jazz). The second is that just over a month ago I finished my term as Release Manager for Koha 3.12. I am very proud of what we did during my six month term. Koha has more features and works better for more libraries than ever before. I think that's a big deal. During those six months, I spent a lot of time working on Koha, as my wife can attest. I think I could count on my fingers the number of days in the entire release cycle (more than six months!) that I didn't do _anything_ related to the Koha release. I did this because I believe that Koha is important, and a better Koha is better for all of us.
From a business point of view, volunteering my time was a good investment because I am now selling and supporting a better system.
But you know what? I don't expect to be paid for all that time I spent volunteering my time for the community. Volunteering my time to build Koha 3.12 was its own (sometimes frustrating) reward. That's what Open Source is all about*, and I am proud to be a member of a community that understands this.
Regards, Jared Camins-Esakov
*Not to say that you can't or shouldn't make money from working on Open Source projects. I believe strongly that you can and should (and, of course, my company does), but contributing to an Open Source project like Koha is about more than just money.
P.S. Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask everyone in the Koha community to take a moment to thank your friends and family for sharing you with us.

Thanks a million. Jared Camins-Esako, because of your efforts and other members of the Koha community we have been able to automate our library services. Personally I have been helping other institutions in Zambia to migrate to Koha. Just like you, I have spent countless hours teaching my self the internals of Koha and Linux; especially Debian Squeeze and now Wheezy. I takes a lot of sacrifice; time, energy and the will to carry on. Unlike you, local support is almost impossible ( I have pioneered Koha in Zambia) I had to teach myself everything! Koha and the environment it works in. My Koha work has been very easy with people like you in the Koha community. Viva Koha On 4 July 2013 10:08, Claudio Kutufà <claudiok@nexusfi.it> wrote:
