Goodmorning to all, I saw that lots of reply to my email which I've wrote yesterday night when I was leaving work. Thanks all again. I'll try to reply all friends. This festivals aim is to introduce and to become widespead of linux in Turkey and to meet the linux comminity. me and people will work to set up linux people onw machine who bring to festival for free. I'll also show to librarians how to set up and work koha.

If you'd like, Zeki, I could try to find some Turkish language records in Canada's National Library (NLC-BNC) database Amicus (a little more user-friendly, BTW). I'm pretty sure we can specify language targets, and I know we can batch records if you prefer. Also, if there are specific types of book or non-book materials that you'd like for your sample (theses, technical papers, etc.), give me a shout off-listserv and I'll be glad to help gather whatever you want (got lots of free time now). Steven you are so kind to leave time for me. It isn't necessary becoming Turkish language for sample materials. I'll only need some marc and/or sql data to import koha but it is good idea to became difternt types of materials.

Denise Sharp and Jamey Sharp, "Open Source in Libraries: Philosophy and Tools" February 2004, available at http://minilop.net/OnlineNW -- I think Denise Sharp reported that it was well-received.

thanks MJ Ray I'm also working on open sources in libraries.

1. The name of the institutes using Koha for examples.

OK, I'll grab the easy question. There's a pretty good list at http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koha_wiki/index.php?page=KohaUsers

Thanks Stephen I haven't seen this list before. I hope that linux, koha and other free softwares are wide know in Turkey and will be use at people own work. Thank to all people again.
