[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 226 subscribers

[Day, James]

Hello all,

I am at a Dynix Classic library which had been trying to migrate to
Horizon 8.x.  We are now soon to issue an RFP for a new ILS and I hope
to be able to consider Evergreen (via Equinox), however the current lack
of acquisitions and serials modules could prevent us.

This is probably heretical talk, but our county is a Windows shop and
would prefer any ILS to run on Windows.  Is there anything stopping
Evergreen from running on Windows (technically, not philosophically)?

I might set up a test server at some point, but I'm mainly here to
follow the progress of Evergreen including the forthcoming new modules.

Hi folks,

You know, there are 226 subscribers to this list. That's really amazing.

So, anyone care to break the ice and introduce themselves? It's awfully
quiet in here. I'm sure someone has something more interesting to say
than I do. :)

Well, ok, fine, twist my arm... I'll go first and introduce myself. I'm
Brad LaJeunesse, one of the instigators behind the Evergreen project
here at the Georgia Public Library Service. I'm not a software
developer, but rather a systems administrator type, and I am primarily
responsible for the servers that support the PINES consortium's
installation of Evergreen. I'm also a degree-toting professional
librarian.

In addition to my sys-admin duties, I also act as a project manager for
the Evergreen software development project, yet I will readily admit
that kind of work is not exactly my forte. There's just some sort of
similarity between being a 'project manager' and a 'cruise coordinator' 
that I just can't get my head around. (Trust me, you never want to be on
a cruise that I've coordinated.) Thankfully I have a great team to work
with.

So, with my introduction out of the way, why are we all here? Well, ok,
you're all here because you've heard of Evergreen, are interested in
Evergreen, something like that... or you're just in the wrong place. :)
I'm here because this was my crazy idea, so I'm stuck. But the rest of
you-- what do you want to talk about? What questions do you have? What
do you want to see on this mailing list?

If you wish to remain anonymous and send questions/comments directly to
me, I'd be happy to post them back to this list for you.

Look forward to hearing from ya'll. If no one speaks up, I'll be forced
to resort to more devious measures, such as singing karaoke.
