[Koha] Kohacon2020!

[Sue McMillan]

As the Taranaki region of NZ has just been voted as second best region on Earth by Lonely Planet,  I think it would be great to host Koha-con in this are for 2020.  We do have a snowy peak, great surf beaches, native bush and I'm sure we could find some hot pools too!

Ooops sorry, just sent an empty email...

Yes Irma, maybe we could have it somewhere near snowy peaks for those who are are inclined towards winter sports, and hot pools for those who are not :)
