KohaCon10 Pictures

Mostly KohaCon10 pictures were posted on Flickr and tagged “kohacon10“. My favorites were taken by Kristina, she knows how to take pictures!! Thank you to all who took pictures and shared them so that those back home could share in the festivities with us and so that we can all look back and remember our time together fondly.

What we didn’t get was a group picture that I could post here, so you’ll have to go browse through the Flickr pictures and spot your friends and community members that way.
