A while ago I did some work on a chrome addon that would allow your browser to search your local Koha catalogue anytime you did a search on Amazon. I then promptly forgot about it, that is, until today when I was searching Amazon to find Nicole’s “Pratical Open Source Software for Libraries” book.
Look what it tells me
Thanks to the hardwork of 3.2.x release team, 3.2.2 has just been released you can read the full release notes at http://koha-community.org/koha-3-2-2/
And as I like to do, here are some useless statistics about the release. You’ll notice that Tamil in this release (and bigballofwax in the other stat reports) have a huge number of lines changed. Don’t be alarmed these are the changes to the .po files for translation 🙂

The folks have liblime have created this neat ad, which is up on http://www.koha.org as well as their site. Please spread it around, and link back to the press release at
Thanks to the hard work of a lot of people, not the least Henri-Damien Laurent (the 3.0.x release maintainer) 3.0.1 has just been released.
You can download it at http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.01.tar.gz and read the release notes.
A few neat things have come up on the mailing list in the last few days.
The first one is gnunify.in where Koha is being presented.
The second one is K’s Helping Hand. A fantastic idea to help make it easy to install and use.
How it all started?
Prashant contacted me about wanting to setup Koha at his place of work, but they have no Internet access. We ended up putting together on discs, everything that’s needed to setup a server and Koha
Koha is infectious, and more people want it. So, we created some video tutorials and DVDs. Now, they are available to anyone that wants them…
Why?
This is our way of contributing back to Koha, spreading the word, and making sure more people can find and use this fantastic FOSS for libraries.
And lastly and announcement has just hit the list for www.granthalaya.org. A union catalogue of of public libraries in Konkan region Maharashtra, India.
We have five libraries to start with.We aim to cover as many of the hundreds of public libraries in the region as possible. The site is on Koha 3.0. Our heartfelt thanks to the Koha community for making this possible.
Through it we also aim to help public libraries in the region to
automate and standardize their operations by helping them switch-to / install Koha, help them to migrate their data from other software to koha, help them convert their Indian Language catalouges into Unicode, train the staff to use koha for all library operations. Ultimately to interconnect all libraries on same platform.
Please do visit www.granthalaya.org and let us have your feedback,
suggestions and help.
The creators and developers of Koha, the first open
source Integrated Library System (ILS), today announced that KohaCon
2009– a conference for current and interested users of the Koha
Integrated Library System— will be held in Plano, Texas, April 16 &17,
2009.
KohaCon 2009 is the sequel to the first ever KohaCon–held in Paris,
France in 2006– which brought together users and developers worldwide.
KohaCon 2009 will feature an international slate of speakers (both Koha
users and active Koha contributors) conducting presentations and
workshops on a diverse range of topics. Topics will include technical
information on how to develop for the various modules of Koha, support
options, and even panel discussions featuring users of Koha talking
about their experiences with the software.
“We expect this event to have wide appeal,” said Paul Poulain, BibLibre,
CEO and Release Manager of Koha 2.x
“The conference is for both techies and non-techies. In addition to
presentations on the technical side of Koha, the conference will serve
as a hands-on introduction to how users and developers around the world
collaborate to make the Koha open-source software possible,” Poulain
explained.
“Kohacon 2009 will be huge, everything is bigger in Texas. Plus you
get to hear from some of the veteran Koha developers, complete with
funny accents. What more could you want?” said Chris Cormack, one of the
original authors
of the Koha version 1.0, and current Translation Manager for the Project.
This is a FREE conference. There is no registration fee, but conference
organizers are requesting that all attendees pre-register using the
registration form found at:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pMSkZuQLLHD_R8MFCGWz4OQ
Details (travel, hotels, tentative agenda, etc) can be found on the Koha
wiki at:

About Koha
Koha is the first open-source Integrated Library System (ILS). Gifted by
Horowhenua Library Trust and now in use worldwide, its development is
steered by a growing community of libraries collaborating to achieve
their technology goals. The impressive set of features available in Koha
continues to evolve and expand to meet the needs of its user base. Koha
has lived up to its name, which means ‘Gift’ in the Maori language of
New Zealand.

As you can see, the Croatians are translating like crazy! A lot of the other languages have nearly completed their translations. We should have a good range for the 3.0.1 release.
We went in for Laurel’s 12 week scan this week, and everything is all good. So by June Kahurangi should have a brother or a sister.
We don’t have a working name for this one yet, I suggested Sharpie Pen, since Kahu was Crayon. But Laurel was having none of it, leave any suggestions in the comments.
