This message came through on the Koha mailing list. It's from the 3.0 Release Manager Galen Charlton. It is worth sharing with everyone who wishes Koha continued success and appreciates the hard work of the initiators of the project as well as all the contributors that continue to add value to it. That includes me! Happy Koha Day on September 6!

This note from Galen:

Hi,

I just realized that I had created a happy coincidence by picking 6
September as the soft feature freeze date for 3.2. From
docs/history.txt:

September 6 1999 Work starts on Koha

By the power invested in me by absolutely nobody, I hereby declare 6
September 2009 (by New Zealand reckoning) to be global Koha Day in
celebration of the 10th anniversary of the inception of this project.

My thanks to the Horowhenua Library Trust for initiating our common
endeavor, and to all users and contributors past, present, and future
for making Koha the exemplar of sharing that it is.

Regards,

Galen
