From The Western Front, published in 1917. A series of sketches, drawings and paintings from the ‘Ruined Tower of Becordel-Becourt’ to the ‘The Giant Slotters,’ Mr. Muirhead Bone’s sketches give us a unique eyewitness account of life on the Western Front.
There are over 2,800 books you can read online about World War, 1914-1918.
I’ve just returned from a trip to Wellington where I presented about Open Library to the people assembled at KohaCon10. I had a lovely time meeting everyone involved, and was thoroughly impressed by the community that surrounds this 10 year old, successful open source project. A hearty congratulations to everyone involved! At the end of the conference, we were shown a fabulous Gource source code visualization of “10 years in 10 minutes,” which visualizes 10 years of Koha development. Seriously cool.
The openlibrary.org website used to become unavailable for short durations whenever we deployed new code. This was a due a problem in lighttpd fastcgi handling. Now we switched to gunicorn, a brand new web server in Python, and that solved this problem. Code deploys are now very smooth and this is a major step towards improving the overall stability of the system.
