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!

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!
