Hi all, KohaCon11 will be held in Thane, India and is now less than three months away. With about 130 registrations so far, this already promises to be the largest KohaCon ever. Not registered? See here: http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/registration The organisers seek your support to increase the conference budget. KohaCon is again a free conference, and the organising committee is heavily dependant upon sponsorship for provision of conference facilities. For example, the extent of recording and broadcasting of proceedings - especially important to those who cannot attend - is dependent on the availability of funds. I am forwarding the original call for sponsors, posted by Koustubha back in March. Below that you'll find the link to the payment gateway. One of the options you will find there is the opportunity to purchase space in the conference booklet. That provides you with opportunity to promote your company or library, or just to say Hi to conference attendees. Don't miss this chance. :) Whether you are a library, support company or interested onlooker, please consider a small contribution towards an outstanding KohaCon in India from 31 October. Many thanks, Bob ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Koustubha Kale <kmkale@anantcorp.com> Date: Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 2:47 PM Subject: Kohacon11 : An appeal for sponsorship To: Hello, Please find attached an appeal for sponsorship from Dr Vijay Bedekar, chairman, Vidya Prasarak Mandal, Thane.
