[Koha] KUDOS 2012

[Hal Bright]

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.

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?)
