20:12:41 <caroline> And for those in Europe and America, don't forget that it starts on October 18 for us
20:12:50 <caroline> I just realized this this week
20:12:58 <caroline> we live int he past
20:13:01 <aleisha> hehe
20:13:23 <kathryn> yeah caroline, also we just started daylight savings which is why I thought this meeting was an hour ago, as well as yesterday ;)
20:13:24 <thd> #info Thomas Dukleth, Agogme, New York City
20:13:41 <kathryn> perhaps we'll put that in the next koha list email
20:13:51 <caroline> presenters, make sure to check your times otherwise you will be one day late lol!
20:14:29 <henryb> Will the in-person workshops be recorded or available online too?
20:14:33 <kathryn> #info we'll send out the stream link a day or two before the conference
20:14:59 <caroline> good question henryb!
20:15:31 <kathryn> henryb no sorry :( we decided it's a bit hard on the presenters to cater to both in person and remote learners/participants
20:16:02 <kathryn> if we can share some notes/summaries/slides we will do that
20:16:27 <caroline> Workshops on Oct. 25 are online though?
20:17:05 <caroline> and what about the DIY days?
20:17:17 <kathryn> no, there was just one online workshop proposed, the rest are in person
20:18:02 <henryb> Ok thanks kathryn. The workshops sound really interesting so it would be great to see notes afterwards if that's possible.
20:18:19 <kathryn> The DIY days we'll be in IRC, in person here in Wellington NZ, and have video conference available if people want to work together that way
20:19:08 <kathryn> henryb we also don't have a camera set up in the workshops room, whereas the main auditorium has all the gear fro recording/streaming
20:19:57 <caroline> just to summarize for online viewers it's days 1-3 for talks and days 6 and 7 for DIY on IRC, is that right?
20:20:10 <kathryn> yes
20:20:23 <caroline> #info for online viewers it's days 1-3 for talks and days 6 and 7 for DIY on IRC
20:20:52 <caroline> thanks for the clarification kathryn!
20:21:06 <henryb> Looking forward to it! Although still not sure when I will sleep
20:21:20 <rangi> plus the one online workshop if ppl are interested in rfid stuff
20:21:36 <kathryn> #info #kohacon20 is the hashtag!
