Henriette (as in https://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/0605/avram.html) came out as a popular vote at the community meeting above. I really love the idea of codenames. I suggested Henriette at the meeting because of her work developing MARC in 1968, but I just found another really fitting codename from more recent history. Codename Polly, after Jean Armour Polly, one of the first librarians to offer public computer access in 1981 and public Internet access in 1992. She is also credited with coining the phrase 'Surfing the Internet' which is pretty rad. Surfing Bugzilla, reporting bugs, testing or writing a patch, can be like the thrill of finding the perfect wave and catching it. It's a nod to a librarian and Internet advocate and also to the web's open standards that have been critical for Koha to be developed as the first web based open source ILS. https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductee/jean-armour-polly/ 24.05 is now out in the wild. We didn't come to a conclusion [U+1F615]. Anyway, this bug is probably defunct at this point. |
