For that matter, there are many libraries that are hard pressed to send somebody out of state for a conference. I personally have found it a great privilege to attend KohaCon and meet with my colleagues in person. We move KohaCon around the globe so that more people have a chance to enjoy that privilege, but we can do more -- and I hope that a North American conference will become a regular event to help spread the benefit of meeting other Koha users to more people -- and thereby to help strengthen the _global_ community.
