Greeting! It has taken place in a short time a lot. I was some time ago in the seminar of open software, in which, with lectures on the use of open software in our monastery and the future development in regard to them. In my lecture I also processed the KOHA library system. This lecture accomplished the surprising series of events. This series of events culminated in the announcement just received by me that Education ministry of Finland grants 11000 euros to the thorough testing, examining and localisation of the KOHA library system of the assistance to Finnish language. During this project all material to be produced, results and the possible modifications are available freely according to the principles of open software. In the project there are the monastery of Valamo, University of Oulu, the city library of Vaasa and the city library of Muurola involved. The following targets are examined and during the project are developed. 1. Localisation to Finnish language 2. Test listing using the UTF8 character set in the library of the monastery of Valamo. 3.
