Koha in the Code4lib Journal
The article written by the wonderful Joann Ransom, with help from Rosalie Blake and I has been published in the latest edition of the code4lib journal.
In 2000 a small public library system in New Zealand developed and released Koha, the world’s first open source library management system. This is the story of how that came [...]

This one is for Brendan, Owen, Joe and Jane
Who took Paul, Nahuel and I to a baseball game and explained the rules to us when we were in Texas for Kohacon.

What’s in a name?
So we all have names. Some of us like ours, and some hate them. I’m somewhere in between. Laurel isn’t super unusual though I know it shocked my family when I was given it. Laurel and Hardy?… What’s her nickname going to be? Hippie parents? In school the kids could only come up with stupid [...]

Including MARC::Record, MARC::XML and MARC::Charset which Koha uses. Without these modules building MARC support into Koha would have been much [...]

Koha Unsung Heroes – Part 11
Laurel Barr – My Wife
Laurel has had no direct input into Koha but a huge indirect input. For being understanding when the phone rings at 3am to tell me the koha.org site was down. For accepting I need to bring my laptop to bed sometimes, or wake up at 3am to attend a koha meeting [...]

Back at home
Everyone is back at home healthy and happy. Our first post natal midwife visit should be happening in the next 10 mins or so.
