[Koha-oz] Kohacon2020! : Planning the International Koha Community Conference

[Irma Birchall]

Kia ora koutou,

I'm Kathryn, if you don't know me, I work on the Koha team at Catalyst IT
from the Wellington NZ office.

Kohacon2020 you ask? Well, I don't know what I'm doing in 2020 either, but
it turns out some people are already making plans :)

I  attended a meeting recently because New Zealand is bidding for
two international library conferences in 2020, and Kohacon could make
it three. The other two conferences that will have bids in from NZ are:

      * http://ifla.org/ The International Federation of Library
Associations and Institutions, which some of you may have attended in Ohio
USA this year
      * and http://www.iamslic.org/ The International Association
of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers, that
recently held their annual conference in Mexico.


Koha will be 20 years old in 2020, and some guy who's been working on Koha
for a long while started a rumor that we should bring it back here for the
big celebration. So, I will follow how the bids for IFLA and IAMSLIC go
over the next year, as it's possible we could try and bring the conference
dates together. Not that we can do much about it from a Koha perspective
until 2019!

I would be curious to hear from any Koha libraries out there who regularly
or sometimes attend either of the other two conferences.

Best wishes,
Kathryn
