Thanks Paul and Galen, I appreciate the feedback.
I am the System's Manager at Kenton County Public Library in Kentucky. We are just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. We have a system of 3 libraries, that do around 2 million circulations per year. We started looking at ILS' a few months ago just to see what's available out there. I have a Master's in Library Science and a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Art History, both from the University of North Texas, but I also have many hours of college credit in Computer Science. I also have Solaris and Redhat certifications pinned on my wall. I worked as a Reference Librarian in both academic and public libraries until I got into systems work at Harris County Public Library in Houston, about 8 years ago. I got tired of the Houston commute and moved to Kentucky about 6 years ago. My attendance at Kohacon spurred my interest in Koha. My only real incentive is that I enjoy working in Koha and it's my way of giving back. I've been using open source ever since I can remember, if you stretch the meaning of open source to include the Commodore 64 programs that were published in PC Magazine where you typed in thousands of data statements, but I never really contributed to it. My contributions are really an extension of my librarian philosophy. No one becomes a librarian for the money. The work I do in Koha is in my spare time, so I don't see myself doing any large scale development at this time.
