| Our group held its face to face meeting, headed by the National Library of the Philippines (NLP), after proposals for the Koha 2015 International Conference were closed and voting had ended. We followed up with a 2016 bid, but were defeated by Greece. This post is our dream of hosting a future Koha international conference in 2017. Since 2006, NLP is the biggest Koha user in the Philippines, with it having millions of bibliographic records, and all public libraries which are supported by the NLP also use Koha ILS for automating their library processes. But since NLP is under renovation and the completion of renovation is unsure, one library that uses Koha ILS - the Filipinas Heritage Library expressed their support of hosting the Conference in their premise - the Ayala Museum. One organization - the Association of Special Libraries in the Philippines have also expressed their support in helping realize the holding of KohaCon in the Philippines. | |||||||||
