[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 226 subscribers

[Blair, Frank]

 Hi Brad,
 
I'm Frank Blair, an ILS administrator up in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Thanks for asking for questions...
 
I'm here because I heard about the project and wondered what kind of
server cluster you run to support 200+ different library systems
throughout the state of Georgia.    I wondered what kind of hardware
specs your servers meet, and if it is true that it all runs on debian?
 
Also, if a library system was going to create a position to contribute
to an open ILS, what would the job description look like...or if several
libraries were going to contribute code as 'part' of a staff member's
duties, what skills would be most desired.
 
 
Thanks
Frank
