The State of Evergreen: OLA Presentation

Well, despite getting less than four hours of broken sleep before my 9:00 am presentation, I think I successfully delivered an update on Evergreen:State of the Open ILS to approximately 45 people at the OLA Super Conference today. There were some great questions from the audience that kept me on my toes. Thank heavens David Fiander was there to provide colour commentary and solid advice. Overall, the talk seemed to be well received.

Perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the session was when I discovered that one of the libraries close to my old home town has been working for the last six months on migrating to Evergreen. Marvelous!

Way to go Dan! And sorry to abandon you on this session, but you obviously were more than capable of flying with this on your own. The slides look great,and an audience of 45 for a friday morning session is no small feat on a stormy day at OLA.

T'was a good talk, indeed. Great turnout, mildly exciting technical difficulties, and lots of interested audience members.

I think it had something to do with the convening. ;-)
