[Koha] Koha Users of North America Email List

[Nora Blake]

Hi Brooke and all,

Once we have proposals in hand, we intend to allow voting on which proposal and dates appeal to the most people.  At that point we will move the conversation to the kohana email list and extend an invitation for voting there.

So make sure you sign up for the kohana email list if you'd like to vote on dates and location of a Koha North America meeting.

Thanks,

Nora

    Once again, my arm can be twisted to host at whatever level. Doesn't even require that much twisting, I just don't want to throw a party and have no one show. :) All I ask is that y'all let me pick dates, or let me in on the voting so that I can express whether they are inconvenient to me or no. #justsayin

Cheers,
Brooke
