I'm seeing a VERY strong push for KohaCon '11 in India, and I think it's fantastic. As Chris said, we've had KohaCon's in Europe, North America and New Zealand so far, so having one in Asia, especially in a country with so many interested parties, would be a fair and balanced next choice of rotation for this global conference. Besides, just because we're having KohaCon one place doesn't mean people in a region can't get together and share knowledge. And, as we learned at KohaCon '10, it's perfectly possible to do tele-presenting for those who can't make the trip.

I'm in favor of KohaCon in India too. Or Pakistan. Seems like a lot going on there with Koha. I'll hold off on Petaluma as a serious proposal for a few more years.... ;) Lori 2011/1/20 Ian Walls <ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com>

Hi all, I'd like to see a poll of some sort with locations and proposed dates all in one place so that voting is easier. Nicole On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 12:54 PM, Paul Poulain <paul.poulain@biblibre.com> wrote:

It might be nice to not only have the offers all in one place but to arrange them in a grid so that we can compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of each proposal. It might be nice to have some factors that we know come into play when selecting locations, for example: Travel Considerations (nearby international airport or is big land journey required, cost to fly there from various places) Weather (hurricanes or other scary things likely this time of year?) Koha Activity in Region (how will this benefit region, how will it benefit community) Conference Site (space has 3-4 meeting rooms plus ballroom available, Internet and wireless available throughout) Accommodations (enough rooms, acceptable options for varied needs) I'd set something up but my wiki skills are not up to par.

Hi All, I have already put in details and proposed dates at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon2011_Proposals Can we get a poll on the same page?

Ive taken a crack at tidying the page http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon2011_Proposals And a way to register support, I do agree with Bob that we should call a vote at a meeting on irc, so I don't propose this poll is binding, but just an indicative way to show support, hence I have listed support for 2. Anyway, it's a wiki, change it as you see fit. Chris

I can do that, but how much time should we give the bids to all appear and settle down? I think I've seen some on-list which haven't yet appeared on the wiki (including the UK bid).

I listed the UK bid on the page, it's even got 2 people's support so far, but you are right it does need it's own proposal page made. http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon2011_Proposals Chris
