[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2014 Conference - Program Submissions

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

As we mentioned in the program submission guidelines, we are trying 
something new this year for the selection process. After the submission 
deadline, we will 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.

As we have received conference proposals, I have been posting them to 
the Evergreen wiki at 
http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=conference:2014:proposals. I 
invite everyone in the community to start reviewing the proposals that 
have been submitted. If you have been on the fence about submitting a 
proposal on a particular topic and don't see that topic addressed in the 
current batch of proposals, now might be the time to pull your own 
proposal together.

I am really excited about the proposals we have received so far and am 
looking forward to a great conference in March!

Thanks all!
Kathy
