Kia ora koutou katoa, I'll cut to it - talk proposals for Kohacon20 are due on 1 December 2019! So along with everything else you have to do before the end of this month, please think ahead to our conference next year, and share a story about something you learned that could help others, an idea for the future of Koha, or...something else. If you have ideas for talks and workshops you would like to attend - please feel free to throw those ideas out to the list, or contact kohacon2020@catalyst.net.nz and we will think about who we could shoulder-tap to give those talks and workshops. Best wishes, Kathryn On 1/10/19 3:28 PM, Kathryn Tyree wrote:
Kia ora koutou katoa | Greetings to you all,
It's time for the Kohacon2020 call for talk submissions! We welcome you all to propose a talk at: https://2020.kohacon.org/posts/talksubmission/
The Kohacon2020 Conference theme is: We have over 15,000 libraries and over 400 developers - so now what?
The conference theme aims to encourage talks that look forward to future plans and aspirations for the Koha project, including specific examples of what individual libraries are planning and doing.
Talk formats include:
* Lightning talks: 5-7 minute presentations that are designed to be as interesting as possible in a very short timeframe! * Conference talks: 25 minute presentations with more depth, detail and explanation. * Workshops: An opportunity to teach something, whether that's a new framework, concept, or skill. Timeframes are negotiable. Workshops will be on Friday 23 October 2020.
For more information check out the Kohacon website https://2020.kohacon.org/ and follow @nzkoha on twitter.
If you have any questions, or want to be part of the organising team, please email kohacon2020@catalyst.net.nz or feel free to ask Chris Cormack or I directly.
