- 67. Upstream
- 68. Please take note, here comes the main point...
- 69. When making changes to F/LOSS code, submit your changes «upstream»
- 70. It's how free software moves forward Give something back to the community You don't have to maintain your changes as a separate «fork» It pays off in the long run even if you have to put in an extra effort to get it into the upstream code It's fun!
- 71. Koha bug #2593 - way to duplicate items ● Suggested by Nicole Engard, US ● Paid for by The Naval Academy, Norway ● Implemented by BibLibre, France ● Integrated into Koha version 3.2 ● http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2593
- 72. Contributions don't have to be financial Report bugs Verify bugs Answer qustions Write documentation Test bugfixes/improvements Time is the most scarce resource of all!
- 73. If you are paying someone to «do» F/LOSS for you, make sure «upstream» is part of the deal New developments should be made availabe to the upstream project In a «lasting relationship», giving back should be part of the package
- 74. Libriotech tries to give back on behalf of itself and on behalf of it's customers Minor bugfixes and improvements Testing new code Organizing bug squashing days Answering questions
- 75. Be a part of the community! You learn things You make new friends It's fun! But yes, it does take some time...
- 76. Conclusion(s)?!?
- 78. Is «the old way» (proprietary software) doing what we need it to do for us? Or have we been serfs long enough? ...paying our masters (vendors) to protect us from having to think about our systems and our data?
- 79. Freedom to tinker Libraries need to be able to experiment ...or pay someone to experiment on their behalf F/LOSS is the best platform for tinkering and experimenting!
- 80. Move fast Break things ...and fix them Development needs to happen in real time, not on a 2-3 year scale The distributed, peer-to-peer nature of F/LOSS is perfect for this
- 81. Libraries need hackers, in-house Development needs to be a part of business-as-usual, not just a bunch of projects Perpetual beta, baby! ...not as an excuse for bad software and services, but as a reminder that we are never «done»
- 82. New roles for libraries? https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000718231
- 83. Documenting the (hyper) local - history - happenings Sharing with CC licences makes it available globally
- 84. Bridging the digital divide Put free software in the hands of patrons Empower them to do things on their own Let them take the software tools they found in the library home with them
- 85. And finally... Every library conference should have a hackfest!
- 86. Thanks for your patience! Magnus Enger magnus@enger.priv.no Libriotech.no
