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 following targets are examined and during the project are developed.
1. Localisation to Finnish language 2. Test listing using the UTF8
