Anyone who would like to host KohaCon15 (international Koha conference to be held in 2015) should add some brief information about their proposal to the proposals summary table in the page on the Koha Wiki which I have prepared following the model used for previous KohaCons, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon15_Proposals . Please link your summary proposal to a more detailed proposal preferably in a new page on the Koha wiki or alternately hosted on your own webserver. If you have submitted a proposal for hosting KohaCon in the past but had not been selected, please submit a new proposal if you are interested in hosting KohaCon15. Do not be discouraged that some other proposal had been selected over yours in some previous year. [In the interest of promoting regional diversity in Koha, we have sometimes considered rules against selecting KohaCon proposals from the same region successively in case the most populous regions might come to excessively dominate voting for selecting a proposal, but in practise such rules may not have yet been necessary.] Anyone should be free to add additional relevant information to proposal information in the wiki, such as links and information for local hotel or other accommodations, attractions, etc. We want whatever information may be helpful for linking to a community wide ballot for selecting a particular proposal. As with all wiki content, it should be easy enough to edit by examining the form in which pre-existing content has been entered, when editing to add your own content. If you want more information about MediaWiki tables, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables .

I think this should get its own topic page on the web forums (at the moment it appears as a reply on a page about the last meeting - thanks to the person who pointed that out to me), so I am forwarding it. Thank you to Ibadan team for already bidding, but I'd love to see a bit of competition. Anyone else fancy hosting a KohaCon? Do it - it's great fun and my hair loss is unrelated to KohaCon12, honest! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Koha] Add a proposal for hosting KohaCon15 Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 16:21:22 -0000 From: Thomas Dukleth <kohalist@agogme.com> Reply-To: Thomas Dukleth <kohalist@agogme.com> To: Koha-List <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz> Anyone who would like to host KohaCon15 (international Koha conference to be held in 2015) should add some brief information about their proposal to the proposals summary table in the page on the Koha Wiki which I have prepared following the model used for previous KohaCons, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon15_Proposals .

hi Folks last month the Koha mailing-list was playing up a bit… so we decided at today's Koha IRC meeting to repost Thomas' KohaCon15 email, in case people missed it the 1st time :) --------------------------------------------------- Begin forwarded message: From: "Thomas Dukleth" <kohalist@agogme.com> Subject: [Koha] Add a proposal for hosting KohaCon15 Date: 13 May 2014 4:21:22 AM NZST To: "Koha-List" <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz> Reply-To: Thomas Dukleth <kohalist@agogme.com> Anyone who would like to host KohaCon15 (international Koha conference to be held in 2015) should add some brief information about their proposal to the proposals summary table in the page on the Koha Wiki which I have prepared following the model used for previous KohaCons, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon15_Proposals .

Friday 15 August 2014, is the deadline for adding a proposal to the Koha wiki for hosting KohaCon15 (international Koha conference to be held in 2015). After 15 August 2014, we will be preparing to vote on any proposals which have been added. Anyone who would like to host KohaCon15 should add some brief information about their proposal to the proposals summary table in the page at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon15_Proposals . Please link your summary proposal to a more detailed proposal preferably in a new page on the Koha wiki or alternately hosted on your own webserver. There is currently only one proper proposal, which is for a venue in Ibidan, Nigeria. The information currently supplied for a venue to be held somewhere in Zambia has nothing more than a country name and a contact name which would not be enough to vote upon. If you are involved with the proposal in Zambia, please add sufficient information to be considered. If you have submitted a proposal for hosting KohaCon in the past but had not been selected, please submit a new proposal if you are interested in hosting KohaCon15. Do not be discouraged that some other proposal had been selected over yours in some previous year.
