Unsung heroes of Koha 26 – The Ada Lovelace Day Edition

Darla Grediagin Darla has been using Koha from 2006, for the Bering Strait School District in Alaska. This is pretty neat in itself, what is cooler is that as far as I know, they have never had a ‘Support Contract’. Doing things either by themselves or with the help of IT personnel as needed. One [...]

Unsung heroes of Koha 25 – Butte-Silver Bow Public Library

The Butte-Silver Bow Public library is special for a few reasons. They have sent people to attend Kohacon09, Kohacon10, and now not only attending Kohacon12 but co-hosting even though the event is in Edinburgh!. The presentation they gave at Kohacon10, with librarians saying what they enjoyed about Koha, was definitely one of the highlights of [...]

Unsung Heroes of Koha 24 – Owen Leonard

Owen is not so much an unsung hero, but definitely one that could be sung about more. With a massive 1701 commits to Koha, the first one being in March of 2003, Owen is one of the oldest and most prolific developers. Owen specialises in UI and UX work and writes a blog that is [...]

Unsung Koha heroes – 23 Frère Sébastien Marie

Most people will never have heard of him, but Frère Sébastien Marie has been helping out with security in Koha. He has spotted AND fixed a number of security issues and can always be relied upon to offer good advice. I think it’s another example of how lucky we are in the Koha community to [...]

Unsung heroes of Koha – 22

The go it aloners For every Library that contracts with a support company to get Koha installed and migrated, I estimate there are 4 who go it alone. It still amazes me how many Koha installs there are around the world. On the mailing list we usually only hear from those having issues, its not [...]

Unsung Heroes 21 – The people behind es.koha-community.org

I figure while I’m mentioning internationalisation, it would be fitting to mention all the people behind http://es.koha-community.org/. I am not going to name names, because I will miss one of them, but they do a great job of keeping it up to date, and providing valuable information to the Spanish speaking users of Koha. I suspect [...]

Unsung heroes 20 – Georgia Katsarou

Following on from the translator theme, Georgia Katsarou has done a huge amount of work on the Greek translation of Koha. As well as that, she has spent lots of time on translating the Koha manual into Greek. If that wasn’t enough she also runs http://kohaprojectgr.greeklis.org/ which is a very valuable resource for people seeking more information [...]

Unsung Heroes 19 – The Translators

All the people who have ever contributed anything at translate.koha-community.org One of the things that makes Koha so good, is the countless hours and hours of work that people all around the world put into translating it into their languages. There are a lot (and when I say a lot, I mean a metric craptonne) [...]

Unsung Koha Heroes – 18

Glen Stewart Glen Stewart was the first developer outside of Katipo to submit code to Koha. To this day, nearly 10 years later, the code he wrote for decoding cuecat barcodes is still being used. Glen was only involved in Koha for about 6 months but by being the first contributor outside of the original [...]

Unsung Koha heroes – Part 17

Pat Eyler Us old timers will remember Pat well, but the newer members of the community will not have had the opportunity to meet him. Pat was the first Koha Kaitiaki, and did a huge amount to promote Koha and to foster a strong community. Pat first became involved in Koha in April 2002, and [...]
