by Rocío Belén Dressler on Aug 7, 2015

Nick Clemens, Technical Services Librarian at Quechee Library, gave a wonderful summary of terms and tools used to participate in the Koha community. He opened with an introduction to the Koha Community IRC and gave a warm shout-out to everyone (access IRC in your web browser here:http://koha-community.org/get-involved/irc/ and view IRC logs here: http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/). He referredByWater partners to the partner’s IRC channeland demonstrated some of the fun ways to interact with bots! For example, typing “@wunder <US zip code> OR <US/Canada city, state>” will give you the weather forecast.

He describedbugzilla and the bug filing process, as well as the timeline, testing andre-creating the bug, and patches. He got great questions from KohaNA attendees, including “what is master?” and “what is a test plan?”.
