[Koha] Conference bids?

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

Hi All,

I live in a cute small town that is in the wine country of California,
Petaluma.  Also, the town is scenic with lots of good restaurants and
shopping.  We're 30 miles from the ocean, 45 minutes from San Francisco, and
we have three international airports all within 1 to 1.5 hours from here.
 Now that we have Koha libraries (and more on the way) here in California,
it would be great to have a conference here so they could attend.

We have a Sheraton in town plus some other economy hotels so we could hold
the meeting at the Sheraton (depending on cost) or possibly at our community
college or junior college or possibly one of several other venues here.  I
haven't checked into anything but the Sheraton.

Any interest?

Lori
