Koha wins trademark stoush with US defence contractor
by Kuber Kumbar 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

After a protracted legal battle, the Horowhenua Library Trust, the birthplace of the open source Koha integrated library system, has succeeded in preventing an American defence contractor from poaching its trademark. The problem surfaced back in November 2011 when the American defence contractor, Progressive Technology Federal Systems/Liblime, applied successfully for a trademark on the name Koha in New Zealand. The Trust had no funds to hire lawyers and sought donations to regain the rights to its own name. It was aided in its fight y Wellington open source company, Catalyst, in its fight. The contractor attempted to pour oil on troubled waters by offering to hand ownership of the name to a non-profit representing the Koha community. But the Trust maintained that there was only one such organisation - itself. The original author of Koha, Chris Cormack, told iTWire today: "This decision allows Koha users, developers, and support companies to continue with Koha without the uncertainty of potential problems with the name." Cormack, who works for Catalyst, said: "While the Trademark application didn't slow down the pace of Koha development or adoption, it does feel like now a weight has been lifted. "This was a big team effort and I'd like to extend my personal thanks to all involved. " For full article: http://www.itwire.com/ KUBERA K.P Information Assistant The Printers (Mysore) Private Ltd.

NOBEL WINNER BOYCOTTS TOP SCIENCE JOURNALS (RANDY SCHEKMAN, NATURE, CELL & SCIENCE)
by Ragaavendra R 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Dear Moderator pls circulate. NOBEL WINNER BOYCOTTS TOP SCIENCE JOURNALS (RANDY SCHEKMAN, NATURE, CELL & SCIENCE) Randy Schekman says his lab will no longer send papers to Nature, Cell and Science as they distort scientific process Leading academic journals are distorting the scientific process and represent a "tyranny" that must be broken, according to a Nobel prize winner who has declared a boycott on the publications. Randy Schekman, a US biologist who won the Nobel prize in physiology or medicine this year and receives his prize in Stockholm on Tuesday, said his lab would no longer send research papers to the top-tier journals, Nature, Cell and Science. Dr. Schekman said pressure to publish in "luxury" journals encouraged researchers to cut corners and pursue trendy fields of science instead of doing more important work. The problem was exacerbated, he said, by editors who were not active scientists but professionals who favoured studies that were likely to make a splash.
