Information about hosting KohaCon ----------------------------------------------- The community has agreed that KohaCon conferences must be either: - hybrid with an in-person conference streamed online, or - entirely online. This allows for greater accessibility, so that everyone can attend and learn from each other no matter their availability, ability to travel, or budget. For more information about the generally agreed rules established for KohaCons, see https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Processes_for_KohaCons This covers the timetable, continent rotation, and information to help with planning a successful KohaCon. Deadline for proposals ------------------------------ The closing date for proposals is *6 September 2023 at 23:59 UTC*. If there is more than one proposal, we will organize a vote - this will be announced on the mailing list. Help with your proposal ------------------------------- The community stands behind anyone who volunteers to organize a KohaCon, and help is always available if you're unsure how to proceed. Reply to this email if you need help, or ask on IRC. There is a wealth of experience in the community from those who have attended and organized previous KohaCons (and other conferences).
