Description Martin Renvoize 2024-01-17 14:28:36 UTC
In bug 35504 I proposed that we add a codename to this cycle's release to celebrate our first female release manager coming into role.

At our general meeting on 17 January we opted to open a bug to discus proposals.. I think we all think it's a good idea to mark this cycle :)

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.
