Hi All, We have extended the last date of paper submission ( which was today 15th August ) till 30th August 2011.
Request all of you who would like to present at Kohacon111 to step forward and submit an abstract at http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/cfp for review.
Also request all of you whose abstracts have been accepted to hurry up and submit the full papers / presentations..
Hi Koustubha
I don't ever write full presentations, only notes for myself. Submitting full papers is a very academic conference type of thing to do, this would definitely be the first Kohacon that had written papers.
Is this a must have, or just a 'it would be nice to have' condition?

Hi chris, Actually we are planning to have all the presentations / papers published as a Souvenir plus CD. So in order to have the same ready for handing over to participants during the conference itself, its necessary to have the papers / presentations in beforehand. Still if the community feels this is not done. Let me know and I will discuss with VPM. Regards, Koustubha Kale Anant Corporation Contact Details : Address : 103, Armaan Residency, R.

Hi Koustubha, I am afraid I will not have time to submit written papers for publication either. I have booked a week of annualleave immediately prior to KohaCon11 to get it done but even then was hoping to produce just written notes and a powerpoint. I guess the organisers at your end need to make the call on how to proceed. I would not be at all offended to be dropped from the programme if it won't fit your plans for written conference papers. Cheers Jo. 2011/8/17 Koustubha Kale <kmkale@anantcorp.com>

I have to agree with this. For an academic thing, I'd have research done and papers written long before. However, for a less formal conference, like Kohacon, it tends to only really take form in the month previous, and I'm usually chopping and changing content right up to the day before. And certainly not writing a full paper for it. Or, perhaps more realistically, writing slides on the plane over, where I can see the deadline approaching at 900kph ;) It's not a bad idea to collect slides and other resources when you can, and putting them up online somewhere though. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D

Hi All, So the consensus seems to be no written papers / presentations beforehand. Ok will discuss with VPM but I dont see a problem with that. We can always scramble and put together a collection on CD to be distributed on the last day. This means we have to drop the *"Advertisements in the conference proceedings publication"* type of sponsorship. The largest sponsor we have Bharat Grahak had opted for back page of the same and I would hate to lose that sponsorship. I hope the other sponsors who had opted for advertisements will be ok with some of the other "at the venue" options presented here http://www.vpmthane.org/payments/kohacon11/insert_cc.asp ?

Not necessarily. Check and see if the compromise of having a collection of abstracts with advertising would be amenable to them. My gut tells me there would be very little difference to an average person in having their advert with an abstract v. a full paper. Cheers, Brooke
