font-family:Arial'>Dear members of the Koha user community. &nbsp;Please note
that the press release posted to the Koha.org site on January 29<sup>th</sup> was
inappropriate and deceptive. &nbsp;Here are the facts:&nbsp; PTFS submitted an
application to be included on the Koha support list Web page on 11/03/2008 and
we fully complied with the policies posted at that time. &nbsp;The rules to
allow a company to be listed on that page were subsequently changed after our
application was submitted and we received a rejection email on 11/06/2008.&nbsp;
PTFS sent another email on 1/15/09 indicating that we were now ready to resubmit
our application and asking for clarification on the latest policies. &nbsp;We
are now able to comply with the revised rules that now include client contracts,
references and a working Koha installation.&nbsp; We fully intend to resubmit
our application. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

twenty librarians on staff who implement, configure, train and support software
management solutions for libraries<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>.</span></b>&nbsp;
We also have a software development group well suited to support Koha
development. &nbsp;I have been advised that there are community concerns over
code submission. &nbsp;While we have not yet completed a Koha development project,
we fully intend to provide the source code to our customers for submission to
the community. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
