And, of course, there's the omnipresent factor that it's the rare library
that is in a financial position to send a staff member overseas for a
KohaCon.  For that matter, there are many libraries that are hard pressed
to send somebody out of state for a conference.

I personally have found it a great privilege to attend KohaCon and meet
with my colleagues in person.  We move KohaCon around the globe so that
more people have a chance to enjoy that privilege, but we can do more --
and I hope that a North American conference will become a regular event to
help spread the benefit of meeting other Koha users to more people -- and
thereby to help strengthen the _global_ community.

Regards,

Galen
