[Koha-devel] Koha demos at Library Conferences

[lars at rovaniemelainen.com]

I'm wondering if anyone on the Koha team is considering setting up tables or
demos for any of the library conferences?  A lot of library directors and key
personel attend, especially the big conferences, and would not otherwise hear a
thing about Koha.  Many directors seem to cultivate a single representative from
a single vendor and then have them provide ALL their information about what is
and isn't possible, how much it costs, etc.  Attending a conference would help
break that cycle and may almost certainly add to Koha development.

These two are a sampling of some of the ones I'm guessing would be most
accessible from NZ:
