[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] At IUG 15 this week, BOF anyone?

[Josh Stompro]

    I'm in San Jose at the Innovative Users Group meeting this week.  If 
anyone wants to have an unofficial evergreen BOF meeting on Wed or Thur 
please send me an email.  I spoke to one individual from New Jersey this 
morning (during Mr. Kline's infomercial) from an academic library that 
said his organization is interested in Evergreen and Koha, but that the 
lack of an acquisitions module for Evergreen makes it hard to really go 
that direction.  I told him about how the development was being 
sponsored by a University, so there would be something there 
eventually.  I also spoke to an individual from Australia who was also 
familiar with Evergreen, but who thought that an open source project 
couldn't compete with a commercial product driven by a single visionary 
driver such as Mr. Kline.  Time will tell.

    Anyway, let me know about meeting and I can try to coordinate 
something.  There is a burger joint across from the Fairmount that seems 
to be the only reasonable place to eat around here ($16 hamburgers are 
not cool, I'm looking at you hotel restaurants), so that might be one 
place to go.
