KohaCon13 searchengine plan

Some code to introduce another Search engine into Koha has been submitted by BibLibre more than one year ago. The work has not been continuated due to lack of time and funding.
Considering there's no change expected in a close future, investigating a step by step option is probably a good way to move ahead.
for now, searches are made using 2 subs in C4/Search.pm: 
*buildQuery => responsible for building the query sent to Zebra 
*getRecord => querying and building results, including facets
There's also a simplified search sub, SimpleSearch in C4/Search.pm that doesn't calculate facets.
A step-by-step move to introduce zebra/solr choice could be: 
*Commit QueryParser made by Jared, as replacement for buildQuery. It created a QueryParser object, that can be sent through Solr quite easily 
*Fix zebra facet things. Jared showed us how to fix zebra configuration file, so we can get facets directly from Zebra. that would remove a large part of getRecords sub code. (This improvement must still be funded)
*change getRecord if ($searchEngine eq 'solr') { solr search } else { current zebra search } 
*Fix getRecord zebra to handle separately search and facets 
*Move zebra search & facet building to Koha/SearchEngine/Zebra/ 
At this time, we would be able to choose between Zebra and Solr, but the code would still be poorly organised.
*Update all calls to getRecords to use Koha::SearchEngine->search() 
*Update all calls to SimpleSearch to use Koha::SearchEngine->search() 
*Move HistorySearch subs from C4/ to Koha namespace, and create Koha::SearchEngine->FindDuplicate() 
*Drop C4/Search.pm 
*happy dance !
If anyone is willing to fund this work, drop a mail to koha-devel mailing list !!!

*KohaCon14 Social Stuff A Scratch Page for Get Togethers
Usually I make a fun new page for culture, but there's a lot of stuff I want to just put here. 
If you are travelling to Conference from the US, Canada, or Australia, you MUST pay the reciprocity fee in advance of your flight. It is payable online, but you needs print a physical copy. I've linked it several places. A search for reciprocity fee and Argentina ought to be enough to get you to the Embassy's page. American Airlines would not even allow us to board without a printed receipt for this fee. 
The currency system is currently a bit wonky, but it's nothing to worry about. There is an official, safe, legal, government rate. The con is that the exchange is artificially low. That's caused a grey and black market to pop up. If you visit @dolarblue on Twitter, you can see the alternative exchange rate. You might not be able to get a rate that good on the street, and that is the rate for US dollars, so your currency's fluidity will vary. Anyway I *cough* definitely wouldn't know anyone that's done this a couple times in the interest of getting about double the official rate. Local police here in Buenos Aires seem rather deaf to the calls of "Cambio, cambio." Do what you're going to do. 
Holy cannoli, Argentines are the friendliest people in the universe. Even the passport enforcement dude was nice. Going through actual customs was hilariously easy. It's probably the third easiest customs trip I've ever had. 
Use your Spanish, no matter how awful it might be. Since Argentines are the friendliest people in the world, they will tolerate a truly ridiculous amount of bad grammar. I only had one person absolutely laugh at me, and I didn't feel slighted at all. 
The public transportation system in Buenos Aires is arcane in terms of fee structure, but as far as ease of use goes, it's easy enough for a Yank to grasp given a little time and grinding.

KohaCon17 Proposal by the Philippines

Previous content moved to the more appropriate general KohaCon17 Proposals page which had not existed when this page was started.
(Perhaps this page could be used for a more detailed individual proposal from the Philippines which would be more detailed than what would fit in the general KohaCon17 Proposals page. Otherwise, a page redirect could be added here.)
=== Background Information ===
Having not entered a 2015 bid soon enough and losing the 2016 bid, this page was created immediately to reflect the ongoing effort by the Philippines to hopefully host a KohaCon 2017.

KohaCon18 Proposals

=== Voting ===
At the 7 December 2016 Koha General IRC meeting, it was proposed to start soliciting bids in mid-January 2017 for hosting KohaCon18 with the issue of when to hold a community wide vote on candidates deferred to a future time.
See Processes for KohaCon for rules previously established for proposal eligability, voting, etc. Take special notice of the "Continent rotation". KohaCon was held in Europe in 2016 and Asia in 2017.
With only one bid for 2018 there was no formal vote held. Dates were announced on the mailing list:
https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2017-November/049339.html
