Live from koha hackfest 2012!

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.

Les robots d'indexation et Koha

It was a very good week, so we decided to host a new one next year !

KohaCon11, our presentations

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/ :

  • Koha history. The presentation I made in 2010, i've modified a lot of things at the end

BibLibre social enterprise and responsible enterprise

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 "JEI" (Young Innovating Company)

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.

Partneship between BibLibre and Catalyst to sponsor development on Koha

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.
