[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reminder for Conference proposals

Thu Feb 12 07:50:29 EST 2015

I realize the developers are busy writing code, but might a few be enticed
to present?

   - Many library systems are back-leveled and a session about the key
   features of the newer major releases would be welcome.  Perhaps 2.6, 2.7,
   and 2.8?
   - What are the key projects in development right now?
   - I had to miss Mike Rylander's session on authority control last year.
   Might he be willing to offer it again?

Thanks to all who are willing to present!
