| 06:18 |
|

| 06:19 |
|
anasha |
i was talking to amit from new delhi |
| 06:19 |
|
anasha |
yes told me that |
| 06:20 |
|
anasha |
my compnay is based in mumbai... and i am one of the promoter,, |
| 06:21 |
|
anasha |
we aim to push koha in to education sectors.. universities, Colleges & Schools |
| 06:21 |
|
mason |
cool, its good to hear that koha is taking off in india |
| 06:22 |
|
anasha |
I will make it sure I have 50+ installation by the end on 2009 |
| 06:23 |
|
anasha |
and it is not possible with help of you people |
| 06:27 |
|
mason |
i have always thought india was a good place for koha :) |
| 06:27 |
|
anasha |
you were right |
| 06:28 |
|
mason |
delhi DPL will the biggest item count of any koha, i think |
| 06:36 |
|
mason |
friends have told me the food is really good in mumbai |
| 06:36 |
|
anasha |
yes |
| 06:36 |
|
anasha |
you come some day to india |
| 06:37 |
|
anasha |
i would love to be your host |
| 06:37 |
|
mason |
okra dishes :) |
| 06:38 |
|
magnusenger |
Just curious: how big will DPL be? Near East University on Cyprus apparently has 2 million items in Koha... |
| 06:39 |
|
mason |
woooo |
| 06:39 |
|
mason |
thats big! |
| 06:39 |
|
magnusenger |
sure is! |
| 06:40 |
|
mason |
hmm, im not exactly sure about DPL - 250,000 maybe.... |
| 06:40 |
|
mason |
amit? |
| 06:41 |
|
mason |
wow, i didnt know about NEU having 2 million |
| 06:42 |
|
magnusenger |
guess it depends on how you count, too. Is one issue of one journal an item, or is the journal itself an item? |
| 06:42 |
|
Amit |
dpl have 2 million records |
| 06:42 |
|

hi magnus, im from new zealand |
| 06:44 |
|
magnusenger |
I work at a small-ish academic library, but I am hoping to get a small business up and running, providing Koha to Norwegian libraries. |
| 06:44 |
|
mason |
(near south pole :) ) |
| 06:45 |
|
magnusenger |
(I live in Bodø, near the North Pole!) |
| 06:45 |
|
mason |
meh, your pole has santa claus ;( |
| 06:46 |
|
mason |
wanna swap poles? |
| 06:46 |
|
magnusenger |
You have spring now, right? We're heading for winter! |
| 06:46 |
|
mason |
we have a nice ozone hole ;) |
| 06:46 |
|
magnusenger |
not sure I want that, though! |
| 06:46 |
|
mason |
very warm down here |
| 06:47 |
|
mason |
bring some sun-block |
| 06:47 |
|
magnusenger |
about 9 degrees Celsius here, and right now I can see a rainbow from my window |
| 06:48 |
|
magnusenger |
New Zeeland, land of the first Koha. Are there many libraries using Koha in NZ? |
| 06:48 |
|
mason |
hmm, yes there are quite a few |
| 06:49 |
|
magnusenger |
Do you have your own "community" - mail lists or gatherings or anything? |
| 06:49 |
|
magnusenger |
Or are you all "just" part of the international community? |
| 06:50 |
|
mason |
is there much of a norwegian language translation for koha3? |
| 06:50 |
|
mason |
no NZ lists, just part of the big community |
| 06:51 |
|
magnusenger |
Yes, 4 people have been working really hard on translating 3. I think they are "finnished" too, but I'm not sure all their work is included in the distro |
| 06:51 |
|
mason |
we have little gatherings now and again ;) |
| 06:51 |
|
magnusenger |
cool |
| 06:52 |
|
mason |
magnus++ |
| 06:52 |
|
magnusenger |
I'm wondering how we should/could do that in Norway. I think we should probably have som kind og list or forum, since we're not native english speakers. |
| 06:52 |
|
magnusenger |
But we shouldn't forget the bigger community either |
| 06:53 |
|
mason |
the french teams have a koha-fr #irc channel |
| 06:53 |
|
mason |
for discussions in french... |
| 06:53 |
|
mason |
you could do the same.. |
| 06:54 |
|
magnusenger |
Cool, but i have a feeling Noregian librarians aren't into irc |
| 06:54 |
|
magnusenger |
I'm thinking more along the lines of a web forum |
| 06:54 |
|
magnusenger |
I think that's better to use as a reference, too, perhaps? |
| 06:54 |
|
mason |
yes |
| 06:55 |
|
magnusenger |
But first we have to get some libraries to actually use Koha, I guess... |
| 06:56 |
|
mason |
its a good idea tho, |
| 06:56 |
|
mason |
no need to exclude people from koha discussions because they cant understand english |
| 06:57 |
|
mc |
hello |
| 06:57 |
|
mason |
perhaps a google.translate or babelfish translator thing might help there.. |
| 06:58 |
|
magnusenger |
I think all librarians here speak english, but I think having that as the only language to communicate in would put people off... |
| 06:58 |
|
magnusenger |
hell mc |
| 06:58 |
|
magnusenger |
oops |
| 06:58 |
|
magnusenger |
*hello* mc |
| 06:58 |
|
mason |
heya marc |
| 06:58 |
|
paul |
mason & magnusenger : I confirm what magnusenger says : on #koha-fr, there are only some geeks. BibLibre, of course, and sometimes an other IT guy (& sometimes Frederic, from tamil) |
| 06:58 |
|
paul |
but almost never a librarian |
| 06:59 |
|
magnusenger |
a ha, that would probably be the same here, then |
| 06:59 |
|
magnusenger |
but I guess having some kind of channel for the techies might be good thing too... |
| 07:00 |
|
magnusenger |
So how do librarians talk to each other about Koha (if they do at all...) |
| 07:00 |
|
mc |
what do you expect using IRC? this is unknown by the masses |
| 07:00 |
|
mc |
(imho) |
| 07:00 |
|
mason |
mc, yes i agree |
| 07:01 |
|
magnusenger |
I'm a librarian, and this is like my 3rd time on irc |
| 07:01 |
|
mason |
librraians primarily discuss on koha mailing list |
| 07:02 |
|
mason |
http://www.koha.org/community/mailing-lists.html |
| 07:02 |
|
mason |
mostly in english :( |
| 07:02 |
|
magnusenger |
Ah, I see that there is a french list too... |
| 07:03 |
|
mason |
and german, spanish |
| 07:04 |
|
magnusenger |
Cool. There is actually a Norwegian list too, but since nobody is using Koha here yet, there is very little traffic |
| 07:04 |
|
mason |
mailing-lists are searchable as a web-forum too |
| 07:05 |
|
magnusenger |
good point, I have used that on several occasions |
| 07:05 |
|
mason |
so this could be an OK solution for norwegian librarian discussions |
| 07:06 |
|
mason |
ok, off for some food.. |
| 07:06 |
|
magnusenger |
Guess so. the immediacy of a mailing list has it's good bits |
