Hackfest Koha à Marseille en Avril
Comme chaque année (sauf durant la pandémie), BibLibre va accueillir la communauté Koha pour une semaine de travail sur Koha.
Au programme de la cinquantaine d’ouvriers du logiciel :
- du développement
- des tests
- de la traduction
- des bons moments ensemble, pour “faire communauté”
Tout le monde est bienvenu: les développeurs et les non-développeurs. Les bibliothécaires sont essentiels à la réussite de cette semaine: tester et valider des fonctionnalités ou des corrections de bug, écrire de la documentation, traduire dans sa langue sont des activités aussi importantes que produire du code informatique!
La semaine se déroulera dans nos nouveaux locaux marseillais, du 8 au 12 avril. Pour s’inscrire, il suffit de m’envoyer un mail (prénom.nom@biblibre.com)
