Koha Trademark Fund - A request for support and donations
by Indranil Das Gupta 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Dear all, Forwarding this request from Joann Ransom, Head of Libraries, Horowhenua Library Trust, New Zealand - the birthplace of Koha. If you are a Koha user or feel passionate about FOSS in the library, this is the time to support them, and in turn support *us*. thanks and regards -indranil das gupta ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joann Ransom <jransom(a)library.org.nz> Date: 2011/11/22 Subject: [Koha-devel] Plea for help from Horowhenua Library Trust re: Koha To: koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org, koha <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz>, web4lib(a)webjunction.org As I am sure most of you are aware, Horowhenua Library Trust is the birth place of Koha and the longest serving member of the Koha community. Back in 1999 when we were working on Koha, the idea that 12 years later we would be having to write an email like this never crossed our minds. It is with tremendous sadness that we must write this plea for help to you, the other members of the Koha community. The situation we find ourselves in, is that after over a year of battling against it, PTFS/Liblime have managed to have their application for a Trademark on Koha in New Zealand accepted. We now have 3 months to object, but to do so involves lawyers and money. We are a small semi rural Library in New Zealand and have no cash spare in our operational budget to afford this, but we do feel it is something we must fight. For the library that invented Koha to now have to have a legal battle to prevent a US company trademarking the word in NZ seems bizarre, but it is at this point that we find ourselves. So, we ask you, the users and developers of Koha, from the birth place of Koha, please if you can help in anyway, let us know.

We are using this resource for the last one year and found it very useful. This online daily news service for 11-18 year olds provide three stories a day, linking the news with the full curriculum and these stories come complete with discussion points and class activities, and are perfect for assemblies, Citizenship, formative assessments, class projects and assignments, commentaries in various subjects, general awareness programmes (GAP), extended essays and theory of knowledge topics or as topical introductions to any subject. It's popular with teachers because it helps to save them time and engage their students. "This is an international service created in the UK with a mission <http://www.theday.co.uk/info/our-mission> to raise the aspirations and abilities of students and prepare them for the wider world. Launched by a group of professional journalists formerly of The Financial Times, "The Day <http://www.theday.co.uk/> " already deliver to more than 1800 schools in the UK and in 15 other countries including international schools in India such as "The International School Bangalore" (TISB).

The themes should include topics such as global warming, medical ethics, social responsibility, international relations, poverty eradication, disease control, politics, etc. In case if any of you are using similar resources in your school kindly provide the details.
