Just an idea, but what about having the hackfest at the KohaCon happen right before a release!  That way the release manager would be there to work with everyone on blockers and possibly get the blockers out of the way.  Then 2 weeks or so after the KohaCon there would be a "release"...

From my experience the Release manager does a talk about what to expect out of the pending release anyway...

Just talking off the top of my head but that would provide for 2 travel options only and what a bang for your buck on KohaCon!

That would be absolutely fine by me, it's just that I'm afraid I would
not be able to travel to 2 hackfests and 1 KohaCon every year... ;-)

Best regards,
