[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] DIG 2014 hack-a-way report

[Yamil Suarez]

Hello,

I wanted to thank everyone that participated in this years DIG
hack-a-way. In my opinion this has been the most productive DIG
hack-way so far. I was also glad to collaborate with some new faces in
the same room or virtually.

Here is a short list of those I remembered that participated, but I
suspect I am missing some people. So please reply or contact me
directly with the names of those that I missed, specially those
working remotely.


Kate Butler - Rodgers Memorial Library (New Hampshire)
Snigdha Dagar - (India)
James Keenan - C/W MARS (Massachusetts)
Joan Kranich  - C/W MARS (Massachusetts)
Kathy Lussier - MassLNC (Massachusetts)
Jennifer Pringle - Sitka (Canada)
Chris Sharp - PINES (Georgia)
Ben Shum  - Bibliomation (Connecticut)
Remington Steed - Calvin College (Michigan)
Josh Stompro -  Lake Agassiz Regional Library (Minnesota)
Yamil Suarez - Berklee (Massachusetts)


For this DIG hack-a-way we focused on documenting all new features
that are part of the upcoming EG 2.7 release.

http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:2.7_needs

We ended up with about 8 new documentation commits for the 2.7
release, and 3 documentation commits that were backported to the 2.6
release. We also got a chance to discuss how to approach certain types
of documentation issues as a group, and to learn new tools and
workflows. In addition there are a few more commits for the 2.7
release that I hope to have included before 2.7 comes out.

Thank you again to all of those that helped, and I hope we have more
new faces next year.

Thanks,
Yamil
