[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2014 Conference Call for Proposals

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

The Evergreen 2014 Conference Program Committee is now 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!
