[Koha] Koha] KohaCon 15 Was Awesome

Oops.
Thank you.
I was slightly confused by the posting...

But I am glad you had a good time (as I know you did go).

:)

Cheers.

Jesse

PS: I am so happy to see the Arabic language resource community embracing
Koha.
I firmly believe we will see Koha grow across the region.
Library Technology.org <http://librarytechnology.org/> does not list too
many libraries yet using Koha in the region and in the peninsula - which
leads me to believe many ARE using it but have not started a profile yet on
that site. Over time, these numbers will increase. As a result, the
conference attendees will reflect that change. It's just a matter of time.
Here's to the future!
