[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Introducing ourselves- Marlene Coleman

Hi All,

I didn't see the request to "introduce" until right before the meeting.  I was fortunate to attend the EG conference discussion on documentation and the first webinar.

As the Project Manager for our library's recent (2 weeks today) migration to Evergreen, I can attest to a huge need for what this group intends to accomplish!  Thanks to Paul and Karen for being the "beacons" and to you all for your enthusiasm.  The spirit of Open-source is community and sharing, and we will help make things better for those to follow!

I'm a "career veteran" and generalist, working in almost every type of library except archives and public schools (although volunteered there a lot).  I've been in almost every type of library position.  I got the technology bug in the 80s, and loved the development of the Web, and now 2.0. My kids keep me into "what's happening", and I'm on Facebook. After managing the migration for a suburban library in NW Chicago (part of consortium) and implementing first generation RFID at the same time, my husband and I moved South to get away from the cold. One of my specific skills is database management, which is one of my current roles in my organization now, and why documentation is of interest to me. Glad to be part of the group!

Hi all,
I am an interested party ;-) I have 12 years of library experience, ranging
from public services to web design to tech services (all aspects and all
levels from hands-on original cataloging to training and documentation
writing). I have worked in an automotive industry library (major
responsibilities were document and inventory control of proprietory
materials such as prototypes), a small academic branch library, a large
academic library, and a digital library.

Regardless of which ILS I worked in, I always thought it could be better --
better for the user, better for the worker bee. I am a huge fan of
opensource and I have been following Evergreen with much interest. I
contributed a tiny bit of documentation to the Evergreen project and I have
contributed to a variety of other OSS projects (design templates, a little
php coding here and there, a little documentation here and there).

I am very excited to see the development of the documentation and the
continued growth of Evergreen. I am always willing to lend a hand in
whatever way that I can. My travel plans have changed a tiny bit, so I may
even make it to the webinar this afternoon.
What a great group!

 Sorry I won't be able to make the meeting today.  It's the first day of our
back to back to back summer reading programs in main and I'm herding the
crowds.

No problem! As a reminder, we'll be recording this meeting and will upload

Hi all.

Normally I would just spam the General list with this, but this IS the 
person who writes our documentation! :)

Dear folks, we are still wrapping up notes and such, but several of the
documents Paul Weiss and I discussed at this afternoon's (highly
successful!) meeting are now on the DIG wiki page. You can find the
recording of today's meeting-webinar, the 90-day project timeline, and a
longer narrative description of the timeline's milestones.

We'll update you as more info is uploaded, but you can see these documents
here:

http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:evergreen_documentation_project

Some of you might notice the recording file is .wmv. If this is against your
religion :-) you are welcome to take the file and convert it to another
format, and we will upload it.

Bon appetit!
