LibLime Disappointed to Learn HLT Koha Committee Cancelled Conference Call
Bethesda, MD – April 30, 2010 – LibLime, a division of PTFS, planned to discuss issues regarding development of Koha as well as partnership to build a better open source ILS solution for libraries.
LibLime wants to assume the best and understands that the HLT Committee is new to business matters, acquisitions, and financial transactions on the scale required to move the Koha project to the next level. Perhaps the newness of these experiences has resulted in their one-sided point of view; their conflicting and inaccurate web posts; and their decision to participate in a conference call, only to decline it the next day.
The PTFS acquisition of LibLime will take the Koha project to the next level by utilizing agile software development and systems engineering methodologies. Working closely with libraries, this effort will result in advancing Koha into the ultimate open source ILS solution.
"We will support Koha through the koha.org website and we will continue to work towards our goal of developing and deploying a true next generation system that manages both print and digital collections in a single application. We are asking for participants from Koha libraries that may want to partner with us to maintain documentation, design new development features, catalog bug issues, and promote Koha successes world-wide," said John Yokley, CEO of PTFS.
