The hosts of KohaCon12 are pleased to announce the first sponsors of this year's event. Thanks to both sponsors for sponsoring kohacon12 to be hosted in Edinburgh this June by software.coop, the Library Co-op and Butte-Silver Bow Public Library – you've helped to make the conference a bit better and we really appreciate it! We are still looking for organisations who are prepared to show their support for Koha by making a financial contribution towards the cost of the conference. We aim to make the conference as accessible as possible so there is no registration fee for delegates, which means that we rely on the generosity of sponsors to make the event a success. All donations are welcome at http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/sponsoring-kohacon12/ whether or not you choose a sponsorship package. First Full Monty sponsor: Tamil - http://www.tamil.fr/ Tamil met au service des bibliothécaires et des documentalistes son expertise en matière de déploiement de solutions logiciels Open Source.

This is a free conference for everyone interested in the Koha library system, which is Free and Open Source Software. There is no registration fee, but we will ask that attendees pre-register. Calls for papers, sponsors and registrations are posted on the website. Details (travel, hotels, agenda draft, etc) can be found linked from http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/ KohaCon12 is the fifth KohaCon, following last year's successful conference in India which brought together users and developers worldwide.
