Hi Amy,

I am working on modifying the out-of-the-box KPAC for use with PINES. We are 
still working out some bugs and haven't rolled it out yet, but you can see it 
on a test server here for now: http://test.gapines.org/eg/kpac/home

Chris Sharp suggested that I do a conference session on it, but as I am brand 
new to the development community and have never been to an Evergreen Conference 
before, I'm not sure whether something like this would work better as a panel 
(or perhaps a joint session with Bibliomation?), or whether I should do it 
alone and go into a little more technical detail about which files I modified, 
etc. 

I would appreciate any suggestions that you might have on what would be of most 
interest to the attendees.

Thank you!
Terran

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2014 Conference Call for Proposals        
(REMINDER)




REMINDER TO ALL / SEEKING PROGRAM PROPOSALS 

Only 1 month left! 

------------------------- 



The Evergreen 2014 Conference Program Committee is still accepting proposals to 
present at the conference! 

The theme of this year's conference is "Together We Grow." The conference will 
be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts from March 19-22, 2014. 

There are three programming tracks, and we hope to have a broad spectrum of 
programming within these tracks. 

* End user: best practices and techniques for using Evergreen in day-to-day 
library operations. 
* General: programs on administration, training, making the decision to move to 
Evergreen, participating in the Evergreen community, and other topics related 
to using Evergreen and open source software in consortial and standalone 
environments. 
* Technical: Topics related to system administration, software development, 
implementation, hardware, and integration with other software. 

We are also seeking proposals for longer, two-to-three-hour tutorials to 
provide in-depth instruction in an area of interest. We would like this year's 
conference to include one tutorial on a technical topic and another one 
targeted for end users. 

This year, the Program Committee is trying something new for the selection 
process. All submitted proposals will be posted for the community to review. 
After the submission deadline, we will then give prospective attendees the 
opportunity to let us know which sessions they would be likely to attend. This 
community feedback will be one factor in the Program Committee’s selection 
process. The committee will also weigh other criteria in the selection process, 
including accommodating the needs of the various audiences attending the 
conference. 

The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2013. 

Full guidelines and instructions are available on the Evergreen web site at 
http://evergreen-ils.org/conference/eg14/proposals/. 

We look forward to the submissions!
