Hey, y'all. I wanted to attend KUDOS last year, but at the time we had not definitively selected Koha as our ILS (although I knew in my heart we would), so the higher ups nixed the idea. So, I was looking forward to this year... until I saw a somewhat cryptic email on the list that said there would be no KUDOS 2012. I want to ignore it but my head won't let it go. Is there a particular reason why? Or is it just that nobody has signed on to host the thing? Feel free to write me off-list if this is a sensitive subject. Thanks. --Jim Maroon storypage@gmail.com -- ================================================== "The man, who, by his own and his family's labour, can provide a sufficiency of food and raiment and a comfortable dwelling place, is not a poor man." --William Cobbett, *Cottage Economy*, 1826.
We have just been shot down. Due to lack of budgeting for KohaCon 2012 in our current fiscal year, our requests here at Rolling Hills Library to attend have been disapproved. I understand fully that the community is busily preparing to attend the conference in Scotland, and I sincerely wish everyone the best fun ever in the world. However, life goes on, and I am are now working on next year's budget, which for us runs from 1 July - 30 June. I am preparing line items for conferences my team would like to attend, and that would include KUDOS 2012. Is there any further discussion, noting some emails on the subject already, we could have about KUDOS 2012 that would facilitate my budget input? Hold it at all? Where? When? Is there an EG or regional meeting we could collaborate with? I guess I can't ask the questions without volunteering something. 1. OK, look, we could hold it here at Rolling Hill, but St. Joseph isn't the most exciting place in the world; I can't imagine attendance would be that good. 2. August? 3. I could volunteer to be Sergeant at Arms where ever it's held. 4. I could do a presentation/demo of either RaCHeL, our inhouse development of a children's playstation, or LibPAC*, our public access computer system. 5. If I do end up attending, either the library proper, or me personally, will donate $100 USD towards bagels and cool-aid. 6. Riverwalk in San Antonio? Chena Hot Springs**, Alaska? Denver? Douglas County, Co? New Orleans? (are there any Koha libraries in any of these places?) -- Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.

Hi Greg, One option you could consider is to put in a bid to host KohaCon13. I too cannot afford to go to KohaCon12 because it is in the same financial year as KohaCon11 for us. Depending on when your financial year runs KohaCon13 might be in the right financial period for you. Cheers Jo. On 10 April 2012 04:14, G. Laws <glawson@rhcl.org> wrote:

Nothing in the KohaCon charter says it has to be held near a Koha library, right? I can get there in mid-May and make all the arrangements, and stay till mid-July for cleanup.

Hehe Seriously though, it's probably the US turn again, 2009 Plano was the last one, so I would seriously think about a Kohacon13 in the USA. Also there are Koha libraries in Thailand .. I think we'd have to go to Antartica to get away from them :) Also regional ones are a great idea, the NZ Koha users group is going to be having its second ever meeting sometime in the nearish future.

I disagree heartily with the cities are more expensive thing. Not in the face! I was a rural Library duhrector. I would concur in the case of New York City. Apart from that, some of the most expensive places I've visited have been in the middle of nowhere. By the time you add in the extra money and time that it takes to get to Bumpass, Virginia to stay in its one hotel (read no competition is a BAD thing) you're wishing you had your conference some place a little more on the beaten track. San Antonio is most certainly NOT expensive. Neither is NOLA. Miami gets there depending on season. LBA suggested someplace out in Cali at some point in the past, and I thought "Oh wow, that'd be nice..." That said, CT could easily work, and someone wants to do it. Bonus :) If people sat on me and held my arms, I might eventually relent and find someplace to give us a home in the Capital District. Cheers, Brooke

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.

Mexico would be swank, and I'm willing to defer my bid in favour of having KohaCon in countries we've not visited yet. Cheers, Brooke
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.

"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.

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/ West Coast ++ Near SF? Sounds good to me. :) Bob
Hi, We would love to host conference in Croatia sometime, but we are not sure if we should go forward with a proposal for KohaCon13 because Croatia is also in Europe and we don't know how strict is the rule about having KohaCon every year on different continent.

This is just an initial expression of interest and doesn't commit you to anything at this point. We'd just like to know who's interested and we'll email you when the time comes to send in actual proposals if it looks like you may have missed the call.
Of course, personally, I'd love it if we can decide before KohaCon12 next June, formally pass the baton over and then try to start the process for '14, to make it a bit easier for everyone to budget (both as attendees and hosts!)."

There's a table for this. Just sayin'. http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Kohacon2013 Cheers, Brooke
Marijana, It'd be great to see Croatia! I don't think we have a strict rule about KohaCon rotations (aside from not doing it in the same country within 3 years), rather just a convention/tradition of rotating continents westward by roughly 6-8 hrs. By that rotation, we'd be due for the Americas again, but any non-UK bid for 2013 would be fair game. Do folks think we should formalize our KohaCon rules further, or would that be a solution looking for a problem? -Ian On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 11:10, Marijana Glavica <mglavica@ffzg.hr> wrote:

I am more than happy to host a regional meeting here. I was planning a late summer/early Fall regional New England Koha group. We have 3 Mainline Koha and 5-6 Liblime Libraries and several in the neighboring states. We have no infrastructure like Madison did, but we are close to an airport and have 2 hotels with buses...with a nice restaurant across the street. We are still in the middle of nowhere suburban Connecticut though. Details on the Regional meeting in a few days.

Due to lack of budgeting for KohaCon 2012 in our current fiscal year, our requests here at Rolling Hills Library to attend have been disapproved. I understand fully that the community is busily preparing to attend the conference in Scotland, and I sincerely wish everyone the best fun ever in the world. However, life goes on, and I am are now working on next year's budget, which for us runs from 1 July - 30 June. I am preparing line items for conferences my team would like to attend, and that would include KUDOS 2012. Is there any further discussion, noting some emails on the subject already, we could have about KUDOS 2012 that would facilitate my budget input? Hold it at all? Where? When? Is there an EG or regional meeting we could collaborate with? I guess I can't ask the questions without volunteering something. 1. OK, look, we could hold it here at Rolling Hill, but St. Joseph isn't the most exciting place in the world; I can't imagine attendance would be that good. 2. August? 3. I could volunteer to be Sergeant at Arms where ever it's held. 4. I could do a presentation/demo of either RaCHeL, our inhouse development of a children's playstation, or LibPAC*, our public access computer system. 5. If I do end up attending, either the library proper, or me personally, will donate $100 USD towards bagels and cool-aid. 6. Riverwalk in San Antonio? Chena Hot Springs**, Alaska? Denver? Douglas County, Co? New Orleans? (are there any Koha libraries in any of these places?) -- Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.
