Surely, surely there are folks out there that these magic pixels will reach that harbour a burning passion to host a Koha Conference. Step up and declare your intent, please. The clock is ticking if we really do want an annual Conference. Toss your hat in the ring. After all
"How hard could it be?"
software.coop has agreed to evaluate the idea of hosting #kohacon11 but we've been a bit busy (as ever). What do they need to know?
We're still a fairly small company (not being able to pawn the company makes growth slower but stabler) so how many people would we need?
Any notes the people at Catalyst can share? HLT? Plano? France?
Is http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Conference_Bidding current?
Sorta http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Talk:Koha_Conference_Bidding is worth readint too, as well as http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon2011_Proposals My suggestions learnt from hosting Kohacon10 .. get a venue and dates as early as possible, to give people plenty of times to organise travel. Then get speakers lined up, once you have those 3 things, everything else starts clicking into place. Chris
