Extremely eagle eyed wiki watchers may notice that a new page was just created for the 2018 Hack-A-Way: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=hack-a-way-2018
That's right, details are there! Links are on the page but some of the most pertinent information is that it will be November 5th - 7th and use a meeting space at the Infinite Energy Forum in NE Atlanta. Nearby hotels are listed. It's an excellent meeting site close enough to walk to hotels and dining. More details will come out as we get closer. Minor things I will simply post on the WIKI page but larger announcements will be posted on the list and social media. Feel free to go ahead and sign up on the attendees page and if you're planning to attend and don't have a WIKI account I'll be glad to add you. Similarly, feel free to go ahead and add topics of discussion to the agenda. After some discussion and a resounding lack of objection (and quite a bit of praise for the idea) we are going to go ahead and announce that the 2019 Hack-A-Way will be in Indiana again thanks to the gracious hosting of Evergreen Indiana and the Indiana State Library. Choosing them in advance allows them to incorporate the event into their budget cycle. In that spirit of choosing our locations far enough out to give hosts plenty of time to plan I am also opening the floor to proposals to host the 2020 Hack-A-Way at this point. All I need at this point is an informal "we're interested." Right now Mobius has their hat in the ring and although I'd love to see more of MO in fairness to everyone I'll keep informal offers open until November 1st. If more than one entity is interested in hosting I will then ask everyone for more formal proposals and go through the selection process. If anyone has any questions, let me know. Thanks!
