[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reminder for Conference proposals

Thu Feb 12 12:57:26 EST 2015

Lise,

Angela Kilsdonk and I would be happy to reprise our talk from last year if
there's interest.  We can update it a bit, and talk about future directions
for which there are some plans already and next steps needed to head toward
that future.

What I'd love to do is a "new features" panel with other developers to
introduce some of the features the folks may not even know exist but might
make life easier for staff and patrons.

Thanks,

--
