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.
We are happy (and proud) to announce the release of MARC::Loader 0.001001
It's a small lirary that transforms a hash into a MARC record.

Feedback is welcomed at perl -at- biblibre.com
We plan to release some/many other tools around MARC in the next months. They are tools we use internally for our migrations.
Hoping that will be usefull for many ppl !
Koha 3.4 should be released at the end of April. Having a high-quality release is a must. That's why Kohala, the french NPO and BibLibre organise a code-sprint week in Marseille, France, at the beginning of April. All European volunteers are invited to participate!
From monday 4th to Friday 8th, everybody is welcomed in Marseille, France, Rue Breteuil, to work on testing, debugguing, documenting, translating. In one word: work on this version 3.4
Inutile de lire ce billet si vous utilisez Ubuntu depuis longtemps, sauf pour sourire et vous amuser de ma candeur... Depuis 6 ou 8 mois que je travaille chez BibLibre, j'étais resté avec mon ordi... sous Windows... Inutile de vous dire qu'au milieu de ces libristes, certes tolérants mais néanmoins de plus en plus insistants, mon Windows ne ferait pas long feu.
Et me voilà depuis 2 semaines avec Ubuntu. Et après un peu de prise en main, j'ai l'impression d'avoir rajeuni de 10 ans …
