Oops. Thank you. I was slightly confused by the posting... But I am glad you had a good time (as I know you did go).
:) Cheers. Jesse PS: I am so happy to see the Arabic language resource community embracing Koha. I firmly believe we will see Koha grow across the region. Library Technology.org <http://librarytechnology.org/> does not list too many libraries yet using Koha in the region and in the peninsula - which leads me to believe many ARE using it but have not started a profile yet on that site. Over time, these numbers will increase. As a result, the conference attendees will reflect that change. It's just a matter of time. Here's to the future!
