Brooke, As you mentioned somewhere in this thread, I think it would be lovely to have everyone come to my lovely little home town of Petaluma, CA. We have a small Sheraton Convention Center space that would accommodate everyone and they'd love to have us. There's also a retreat space, Walker Ranch, that might work (but I haven't checked that one out for KohaCon). We have lots of great places to eat, a music venue, and its small and manageable. One hour from both Oakland and SF airports with a direct shuttle available to get here. Not really any public transportation once you get here though.... And the only places to stay are the Sheraton and the Metro and a Motel 6 or something. Although by 2014, there may be another hotel that is in the work which should be very cool. Here's a nice page about Petaluma: http://www.visitpetaluma.com/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lori Bowen Ayre // Library Technology Consultant / The Galecia Group Oversight Board & Communications Committee / Evergreen (707) 763-6869 // Lori.Ayre@galecia.com Availability: http://tungle.me/lori.ayre <Lori.Ayre@galecia.com>Specializing in open source ILS solutions, RFID, filtering, workflow optimization, and materials handling =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 4:30 AM, BWS Johnson <abesottedphoenix@yahoo.com>wrote:
Salvete!
One option you could consider is to put in a bid to host KohaCon13. [...]
"Who might be interested in hosting KohaCon13?
Well heck, I might. I just edited the wiki to that effect, too. I'll continue to add information to flesh things out nicer. I started a table so that other folks can put their bids in, too, just like 2011 Bidding.
I also don't think it's a bad idea to start a page for a US Regional convention so folks don't feel left out there.
Come on, let's have some expression of interest, please! Did I see Mexico mentioned in IRC a few days ago?
Mexico would be swank, and I'm willing to defer my bid in favour of having KohaCon in countries we've not visited yet.
