[Koha-devel] introducting Henri Damien Laurent

[Paul POULAIN]

Hello koha-devel,

I'm very very happy to (re-) introduce Henri Damien Laurent.
It's a french developper that is one of my friends. He worked just for 
fun on Koha 2.0.0 (templated some code).

Then he leaved France for Ivory Coast, 2 years ago. In october, he got 
married, and 15 days after the wedding ceremony, he flyed back to France 
with the french army (search for troubles in Ivory Coast in 2004, november)
Now he is in France with it's wife, and i'm very very very very happy to 
announce that i've hired him (for at least 3 months, hopefully more).

He read this list as well as most other koha-related lists.

He works at full time on Koha, on 2 things for now :
* moving koha-fr.org (and some other sites) to a new server (P4-3GhZ HT 
- 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, good bandwidh)
* writing stats modules. In the french mailing list, we had some 
discussion on the new module. I've made a OOo document in French (ask 
for it if you speak french and are insterested to see what will be in 
the module) In a few word, there will be some pre-produced stats, plus a 
tool to export datas in CSV (for Excel / OpenOffice.org Calc), that 
could enable virtually any stat.

(After that, he will work with me on some contracts i've signed.)

Code expected to be in CVS-HEAD in the next days (2 weeks ?), then i'll 
port it to rel_2_2 for release in 2.2.x

This module being funded by EMN (Ecole des Mines de Nantes)
