November runs you into summer holidays for NZ universities and high
schools. The prices of flights will be significantly more expensive, as
will the price of accommodation and internal travel.

I live here, so that doesn't affect me at all, but definitely something
to bear in mind for any people coming from overseas.

Also the 28th of November is the NZ National Library conference in
Dunedin, so those dates would rule out any of the NZ Koha libraries who
wanted to stay for the workshops section.

I think I'm pretty much talking myself into the October dates I'm afraid
