[Koha] KohaCon26 – Community Vote Now Open!

[Caroline Cyr La Rose]

Hello dear Koha community,

As we gear up for KohaCon25 <https://2025.kohacon.org/> this November in 
Wellington, it’s also time to look ahead and choose the host for 
*KohaCon26*!


      The Process

The bidding period officially closed on *28th March 2025 at 23:59 UTC*. 
We’re thrilled to announce that two institutions have stepped forward to 
host the next KohaCon:

  *

    *Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany*
    <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon26_Proposals#Karlsruhe_Institute_of_Technology_.28KIT.29.2C_Germany>

  *

    *Cyprus University of Technology Library, Cyprus*
    <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon26_Proposals#Cyprus_University_of_Technology_Library>

As we have multiple bids, it’s now up to the community to decide through 
a vote.


      The Vote

Voting is now open and will remain so until *12th September 2025 at

    you haven't already.
