Agenda

• Update on Roadmap to 3.2
• Update on Roadmap to 3.0
• Update on Roadmap to 3.4
  • Bugs needing sign off
  • Plan for the next month
• Koha Mission/Community Guidelines
  • Adopt/Start with the existing Debian social contract (http://www.debian.org/social_contract) and the Ubuntu code of conduct (http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct)
• Koha Newsletter Automation Suggestion
  • Problem: the newsletter takes much effort to compile each month.
  • Suggested solutions:
    • Could reduce newsletter frequency to bi-monthly. Would people miss it?
    • Could configure the community website so that at newsletter production time, the newsletter editor tells the site to read in suggested articles to a koha-newsletter-proposed-articles category. The editor then deletes unsuitable articles, reorders articles and copy-pastes the category page into the newsletter with a suitable header/footer.
    • Schedule emails soliciting articles before newsletter production time.
  • Possible Consequences:
    • Contributors would set up a for-koha-newsletter feed on their site (this can be a category in Wordpress)
    • Install and configure feedwordpress on the main website
    • Schedule emails from the editor (mjr offers to do this)
• Follow-up on actions from General IRC Meeting, 8 December 2010.
• Agree times of next meetings.
