Halfway through this one week hackfest, it is time to tell you more about what is happening at BibLibre this week!
No less than 35 collaborators have come together to make Koha better. And this time people have come frome Germany, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland Spain and even the United-States to participate. People who work in libraries that use Koha have also come from all over France to bring us the functional approach we need to validate that everything is working smoothly.
We organized ourselves in 5 groups.
Nous avons fait le constat ces 2 derniers mois que la part des requêtes provenant des robots de type moteur d'indexation (web crawlers, web spider) est grandissante, aussi bien chez les installations clientes que chez nos hébergés.
This post is about:
Last year, BibLibre has hosted a week of hackfest, where a lot of european people came to hack Koha.
It was a very good week, so we decided to host a new one next year !
3 of us were in Mumbaï, India, for the KohaCon11.
We had an astonishing experience of 11 days in this country, that is so different...
For the conference itself, we were happy to see some well known people (Hello Brooke, Bob, Irma !), but also meet new people from india (Hello Kousthuba & tous les autres) or no (Hello Dobrika et Marijana -croatia-)
We made 4 presentations that you'll find on our public document repository, at https://depot.biblibre.com/ppoulain/KohaCon11/ :
Le Service Commun de la Documentation de l'Université de Limoges est en production avec Koha depuis mi septembre pour la gestion du catalogue de la bibliothèque universitaire.
BibLibre a le plaisir d'annoncer le recrutement de deux nouveaux collaborateurs, depuis début octobre :
Adrien Saurat, avec une expérience en SSII, rejoint le pôle support/maintenance.
Gaëtan Boisson, de formation documentaliste avec une expérience en médiathèque à l'étranger, rejoint BibLibre comme chef de projet.
Bienvenue à eux !
Vous pouvez les retrouver ici (bientôt avec les photos...)
2 months ago we've been recognized as a "young innovative company" (http://drupal.biblibre.com/en/blog/entry/biblibre-is-a-jei-young-innovat...), and a few weeks ago we have recieved two new labels from governement agencies: "social enterprise" and "responsible enterprise"
BibLibre is a Young Innovating company.
We are pleased to announce that BibLibre has been recognized as a JEI (Jeune Entreprise Innovante - Young Innovating Company) by the french government.
This label is associated with our R&D activities. It means the government encourages our work, as we do it (OpenSource) and where (libraries) we do it.
It makes no doubt that we will continue this way, reinforce our involvement, search new activities, and hire new staff to continue growing.
BibLibre and Catalyst IT, two significant contributors to the Koha project, have just announced a partnership to sponsor future work on development of the popular open source library management system (http://koha-community.org/).
The new arrangement will see BibLibre sponsoring Koha's current Release Manager Chris Cormack so he can dedicate more time to the project.
