Introduction to Prosentient Systems
Gday, Koha folks: My name is David Cook and while some of you might recognize my name from the #koha IRC channel or some of my patches on Bugzilla, I would actually like today to introduce the Australian Koha support provider that I work for: Prosentient Systems. Prosentient has been implementing, hosting, and supporting Koha since about 2005, but has only recently become active in the online community following my arrival from Canada in early 2012. As time goes on, we hope to become more and more involved and contribute more to this wonderful community. To that end, I would like to request a listing on the koha-community.org List of Support Companies to help provide a better representation of support services available in Australia. Personally, I hope to see this list grow, so that we can see how private companies can promote public good through their support for this software.

Hi David,
We have seen you about on IRC but have not had the opportunity to converse directly. Welcome to the Koha community. We welcome your efforts to lead your organisation towards the community after so many years and we wish you well. You will benefit from not having to maintain your fork and the community will benefit from the participation of your customers. Well done. I'm aware that you hold one or more trademarks of the Koha name in Australia. This is not in the spirit of the project, in our opinion. Koha belongs to the community, through its copyright holders. The community has nominated Horowhenua Library Trust to hold property of the Koha project. I recommend you have a discussion with Jo Ransom about these trademarks. We don't want another Liblime-like episode any time soon. CALYX has no objection to the listing. Again, welcome. With best regards, Irma ------------------ Irma Birchall CEO & Founder : CALYX information essentials Koha & Kete implementations and services T: +61 (2) 80061603 ~ M: +61 (0) 413 510 717 irma@calyx.net.au ~ www.calyx.net.au Participating in the Open Source projects: http://koha-community.org & http://kete.net.nz Koha-oz elist: http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-oz
