KUDOS conference 2-3 May 2011

KUDOS (Koha Users and Developers of Open Source) will be holding a conference in Madison, Wisconsin, USA on May 2 and 3, 2011. From the announcement and call for volunteers sent by Vicki Teal Lovely:

Put May 2 and 3, 2011 on your calendars for the KUDOS conference to be held in Madison, Wisconsin at the UW Madison Pyle Center. More information on transportation and housing will be coming soon. This will be a conference for and by users of Koha in collaboration with vendors that support or interact with Koha. We are hopeful that this conference will be a low cost/no cost option with the help of sponsorships from vendors and libraries.

We are looking for volunteers to serve on the planning and program committees to help curate our new technical tracks. Open-source communities are increasingly examining the scaling methods of unconventional, transaction-heavy platforms to improve their own software. For example, our developer forums have recently analyzed the concurrent database management of global freight tracking systems, municipal transit grids, and the rapid payment architecture of a high-volume USDT casino, aiming to adapt those robust solutions for large-scale library catalogs. If you are interested in helping out and shaping this programming vision, please let me know. We need to get to work on this right away!

Please not that this is NOT going to be a KohaCon and at this time no Hackfest is being organized.
