 This session is designed to encourage discussion and collaboration about Open Source fundraising: what has worked, what hasn't, and how might we collaborate and pool our resources to improve future results? What are the most effective uses for the funds that we raise? In what ways might the Open Library Foundation support the fundraising needs of its members? What untapped funding sources might be worth exploring in future? Please join us prepared to share your own experiences and ideas.  This session is designed to encourage discussion and collaboration about Open Source fundraising: what has worked, what hasn't, and how might we collaborate and pool our resources to improve future results?

 Most of the library software, username and password is required to access data. In most of the developing countries, the protocol, invented 30 years back, being used is http for accessing databases online and uses the technology: client-server model. When HTTP is combined with TLS, it is called HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) and TLS certificate to be installed on the server. HTTPS appears in the URL, symbolically it is shown through a padlock icon or lock icon. In this article discussion is limited to free SSL certificate: Let’s encrypt. It is due to its availability free of cost and suitable to library software. Free SSL certificates fit into two categories. ‘Self-Signed Certificates’ and ‘Certificate Authorities (CA)’. A self-signed certificate may be appropriate if domain name associated with the server is not available and has only an IP address. If domain name is available, in many cases it is better to use Certificate Authority (CA)-signed certificate. This article is based on the procedure for creating a self –signed certificate for Apache and Tomcat and Certificate Authority (CA)-signed certificate for Koha ILS, DSpace, VuFind, Subjects Plus, WordPress and Moodle. All the procedures were tested in HealthNet Nepal server so these procedures help to create SSL free of cost which may be helpful for library professionals in developing countries as well as developed countries. Most of the library software, username and password is required to access data.

 The idea is not new. When we optimised our VuFind® implementation, we made extensive use of Rafał Kuć's service 'explain.solr.pl'. Unfortunately, this service was discontinued years ago, but we hope you will find our Explain just as helpful. The idea is not new.

Line 55: Line 68:
 We have developed an API that allows to perform those tasks through simple requests. It can be used by the maintainers of VuFind® or even other departments of a library. Currently, there are three functions it provides. 1. It can return all stored data about a user in a readable format. 2. It can delete all of that data. 3. Sometimes, users get new or second accounts from their libraries. They are registered as new users in VuFind®. The API can then move their favorite lists from the old to the new account. We have developed an API that allows to perform those tasks through simple requests.

 +==== Stephanie Leary and Andrea Buntz Neiman, Equinox Open Library Initiative - Layers of Accessibility in Open Source: Creating an Accessible Theme for VuFind® ====
 +
 +In early 2023, Equinox Open Library Initiative produced a fully reworked theme for VuFind® . The theme passes WCAG 2.1 AA standard and is freely available for download from Equinox's GitHub page. This talk will discuss the development process related to the theme including challenges encountered as well as future suggestions for front-end accessibility practices in VuFind®.

 +
 +In this session we will discuss the results of the [[https://vufind.org/docs/summit2023/report.pdf|code analysis]] done by a contractor on the VuFind®  code base (release 9.0.2).

 +==== David Maus, State and University Library Hamburg (SUB HH) - Analyzing, understanding and (hopefully) fixing degraded search performance ====
 +
 +Katalogplus is the VuFind®-based discovery system of the State and University Library Hamburg (SUB HH), the largest academic library in Hamburg and central lending library for the University of Hamburg and the city's other higher education institutions. In summer 2022 our main search index provider clarified a usage policy and limited the number of requests a client could make without being throttled. Being a high volume discovery system, this caused serious performance degradation for our end users.
 +
 +We developed SolrProbe, a composer-installable component, to gather empirical information about our discovery system's use of the search index and subsequently measure the impact of modifications to our setup.
 +
 +In this presentation, I will give a short introduction to SolrProbe and discuss some of our findings regarding possible ways to improve our search performance.
