Joshua Ferraro is an American entrepreneur and computer scientist.
Ferraro was the founding CEO of LibLime and grew the company to profitability with over 600 customers under 140 contracts.[1] Under his leadership, LibLime grew rapidly into the largest support organization for the Koha open-source integrated library system (ILS), acquiring key Koha assets including a Koha trademark in United States, copyrights for the original Koha source code, and the Koha.org domain.[2] He was chief architect for ‡biblios.net,[3] the company's free cataloging service and the world's largest database of openly licensed library records[citation needed]. He also successfully navigated the company through a major business process change with the launch of LibLime Enterprise Koha (LLEK), an enterprise edition of Koha distributed only as a cloud computing software as a service solution.[4] LibLime sold to PTFS, Inc. in March, 2010.[5]
