 The call for conference papers is open.
Hello (MJ / chris)

Before submitting something, I'd like to know what kind of audience do
we expect to have ? Will/should it be librarians that knows nothing
about Koha and will be happy to have a demo ? Will/should it be
librarians that already use or know Koha ? Will/should they be happy to
have some technical talks like Koha and CAS-LDAP-Shibboleth or
will/should they prefer non technical talks ?

Overall: do we have an idea of the kind of talks they would like to have ?

The KohaCon12 is close from France, we will send some ppl, but that
would help me knowing what would be of the biggest interest.

Thanks for your feedback

PS: I made Koha history in 2010 and 2011, Koha community organization in
2011, I'm of course OK to do them once again if :
* 1- no-one else want to
* 2- The conf organizers think it's a good idea to do it again.

 Hello Kohacon attendees and planners,
 FYI
 Butte Public Library will sponsor something please let me know what is 
 needed.
 Looking forward to seeing your happy faces.

Hi Lee in Butte, Montana!

The call for sponsors will go to volunteers for review the next
time I open that mailbox, then will be sent out.  Keep watching!

(There's two short and unfunny reasons why that was delayed -
ask me later.)

I'm expecting a mixed developer-librarian audience like kohacon10
(can't speak for 11 because I don't remember the reports well).

I would suggest demos should be hackfest day 1, rather than
conference, but I may try to leave a possible slot on conference day 3
in case there is interest in them and we're not overloaded with papers.

I suspect librarians will have seen Koha thanks to the liveDVD, the
virtual machines and demos, but probably only some will have used it
in anger.

Keep conference talks at least 50% non-technical, I think, so as not
to bore part of the audience too much.  The paper reviewers may have
other suggestions.  Hackfest can be 100% tech if you like.

There was a call for themes (I think it was in the newsletter a while
ago) which suggested the topics highlighted in the Call for Papers:
archives/special libraries using Koha; Resource Description
Framework/Semantic Web/Linked Data; and the Koha packages.

Hope that helps,
