Hi All As you mostly all know, I am busy sorting out venues and dates for Kohacon 2010. I have managed to get the use of a really nice venue, located in the middle of the CBD, close to restaurants and hotels. And at a really good price. So with some sponsorship will be able to keep the conference price free. The dates it is available are the week of the 25th of October 2010, and then again start the 22nd of November. I am aware the second set of dates runs into Thanksgiving, for all the US Koha users, so I think (correct me if I am wrong) that the October dates are preferable. So out of those 2 sets of dates, 25,26,27 October conference proper, 28,29,30,1 Hands on workshop/hackfest. OR 22,23,24 November conference proper, 25,26,27,28 Hands on workshop/hackfest Is preferable, (I'm definitely leaning towards october, flights and accomodation will be cheaper then also) Chris
I'm fine with either set of dates. On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 12:53 PM, Chris Cormack <chrisc@catalyst.net.nz> wrote:

I'd agree and say that October is better. The flights will be cheaper from the US at that time. -Brendan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brendan A.

I'd prefer the November date. One thing to keep in mind for the USA folks, it either has the problem, or advantage, of being the same week as their Thanksgiving (November 25 in 2010). That said, I'm not sure what holidays may be in effect for the rest of the world, so that may easily be canceled out by some other holiday for some other country that takes place in October. The reason why I prefer the November date is October is already stacked full of conferences (both in North America and Europe anyway). Also, while the flights might be slightly more in November, if I'm going to fly all that way (and most likely have to spend my own money), I'd rather go in November when it is closer to the New Zealand summer (which Air New Zealand claims to be December - February).

Salvete! October is massively preferable, though I personally hate it being that late in the month. However, if that's the difference in cost, fair play. Thanks for negotiating, Chris :D Cheers, Brooke

at 60% I will NOT come to Kohacon10. But I prefer Oct. In Italy no problem on Thankgiving or Hallowen. Bye Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)
