<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>As directed by the Koha Support page, I’d like to
introduce myself. My name is Paul Nixon and I’ve been on the vendor side of
library automation for over 20 years, 10 years in software development and 10 in
management and sales.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I’ve recently established Neptune8.com to provide
software and services to the Canadian and U.S. library and research markets. I
am very interested in providing installation and conversion services to
libraries migrating to Koha. Through my company, I can also provide software
enhancements and maintenance support to Canadian and U.S. libraries.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think the time is right for Open Source library
systems in North America. I think many libraries will want the added security of
commercial support and services before they decide to switch. Perhaps even the
mere existence of a company willing to provide these services will prompt some
libraries to switch to Koha!</FONT></P></DIV>
