My action points from the last development meeting were to: - create a Wiki page for KohaCon23 proposals, and - draft an email for the general mailing list. KohaCon23 proposals wiki page ========================= I've created a wiki page: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon23_Proposals Draft message for the general mailing list =============================== Subject: Proposals now open for KohaCon23 Summary ------------- The request for proposals to host KohaCon 2023 is now open! If you or your organization would like to organize KohaCon23, please enter all the required information on the KohaCon 2023 proposals wiki page:[1] https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon23_Proposals The closing date for bids is *6 September 2022 23:59 UTC*. Proposals received will be discussed at the 7 September 2022 General IRC Meeting ( https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/General_IRC_meeting_7_September_2022). Information about hosting KohaCon ----------------------------------------------- The community has agreed that KohaCon conferences must be either: - hybrid with an in-person conference streamed online, or - entirely online. This allows for greater accessibility, so that everyone can attend and learn from each other no matter their availability, ability to travel, or budget. For more information about the generally agreed rules established for KohaCons, see https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Processes_for_KohaCons This covers the timetable, continent rotation, and information to help with planning a successful KohaCon. Deadline for proposals ------------------------------ The closing date for proposals is *6 September 2023 at 23:59 UTC*. If there is more than one proposal, we will organize a vote - this will be announced on the mailing list. Help with your proposal ------------------------------- The community stands behind anyone who volunteers to organize a KohaCon, and help is always available if you're unsure how to proceed. Reply to this email if you need help, or ask on IRC. There is a wealth of experience in the community from those who have attended and organized previous KohaCons (and other conferences). [1] If you do not have an account to edit the wiki, you can request one. It is usually pretty fast to get access. Feedback ======== Please provide any feedback (or edit the Wiki pages) by the end of Monday 18th July 2022 23:59 UTC. I will send the message to the general mailing list on Tuesday 19 July 2022, unless more time is required. Thanks!
