[Koha] KohaCon2017 banner

[schnydszch]

Just almost a week to go before 2017 Koha International Conference and our
banner for this Conference is now up at
http://kohacon2017philippines.com/about-us/. A simple narrative on the
banner you can see in the link and below:
The KohaCon2017 banner depicts Bayanihan, a common tradition in Philippine
towns where community members volunteer to help a family move to a new place
by volunteering to transport the house (bahay-kubo) to a specific location.
The process involves literally carrying the house to its new location. This
is done by putting bamboo poles forming a strong frame to lift the stilts
from the ground and carrying the whole house with the men positioned at the
ends of each pole.  Bayanihan spirit is also best embodied in Free and Open
Software more specifically Koha ILS. Within the Koha ILS community, every
individual (either as developer, documentation manager or just plain user
that reports bug) works toward a goal of making Koha ILS the best library
automation package. The zeroes and ones (binary) that can be send in the
foreground is a repetition of the word “Koha” represented in binary digits,
which is the smallest unit of data on a computer. The binary digits are in
colors blue and red, which represent the blue and red horizontal stripes in
the Philippine flag. The Koha ILS logo and below it, Koha written in ancient
Filipino script baybayin, has a motif of yellow which depicts the third
color in the Philippine flag.
We hope you liked the banner as well as the narrative behind it. We hope to
see you in Makati City, Philippines during KohaCon2017. Mabuhay Koha!
