Three years ago, Koha (www.koha.org) users and developers from around
the world met up to discuss the future of the project.  It is now time
for us all to meet again, this time on U.S. soil.  This conference is
not just a great way for Koha community members to put faces with
names (and online aliases), but a great way to get the community
together to discuss what matters to us and learn from others around
the world. Please take a minute to read the press release
(http://koha.org/about-koha/news/nr1233775168.html) and register for
the conference ASAP so that we can get an accurate head count.  This
is a great learning experience - and registration is free

- so it's well worth attending!

Thanks a bunch,

*** Koha Project Announces KohaCon 2009 ***

February 3, 2009 -- The creators and developers of Koha, the first
open source Integrated Library System (ILS), today announced that
KohaCon 2009 -- a conference for current and interested users of the
Koha Integrated Library System -- will be held in Plano, Texas, April
16 &17, 2009.

KohaCon 2009 is the sequel to the first ever KohaCon -- held in Paris,
France in 2006 -- which brought together users and developers
worldwide. KohaCon 2009 will feature an international slate of
speakers (both Koha users and active Koha contributors) conducting
presentations and workshops on a diverse range of topics. Topics will
include technical information on how to develop for the various
modules of Koha, support options, and even panel discussions featuring
users of Koha talking about their experiences with the software.

"We expect this event to have wide appeal," said Paul Poulain,
BibLibre, CEO and Release Manager of Koha 2.x

"The conference is for both techies and non-techies. In addition to
presentations on the technical side of Koha, the conference will serve
as a hands-on introduction to how users and developers around the
world collaborate to make the Koha open-source software possible,"
Poulain explained.
