[Koha] KohaCon26 hosting open for proposals

[Thomas Dukleth]

Anyone who would like to host KohaCon26 (international Koha conference to
be held in 2026) should add some brief information about their proposal to
the KohaCon26 proposals page on the Koha Wiki which has been prepared
following the model used for previous KohaCons,
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon26_Proposals and for which
there is already a proposal from Stockholm University Library.  At the 4
February 2025 Koha General meeting held on Jitsi, people concluded that we
should solicit proposals to 28 March 2025,
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/General_IRC_meeting_4_February_2025 .

Please link your summary proposal to a more detailed proposal in a new
page on the Koha wiki or alternately hosted on your own webserver.

If you have submitted a proposal for hosting KohaCon in the past but had
not been selected, please submit a new proposal if you are interested in
hosting KohaCon26.  Do not be discouraged that some other proposal had
been selected over yours in some previous year.

In the interest of promoting regional diversity in Koha, we have rules
against selecting KohaCon proposals from the same continent within three
years in case the most populous regions might come to excessively dominate
voting for selecting a proposal.  The rule would be set aside for a
particular year if no proposal from a different continent has been
introduced.  See
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Processes_for_KohaCons .

Currently eligible continents are:
Africa
Asia
Europe
South America

Anyone should be free to add additional relevant information to proposal
information in the wiki, such as links and information for local hotel or
other accommodations, attractions, etc.  We want whatever information may
be helpful for linking to a community wide ballot for selecting a
particular proposal if we have the good fortune to have multiple proposals
again.
