One of the things I like about code4lib is that it isn't policy-driven. As the local organizing committee, we decided not to allow "official" substitutions, so that the Alliance could process the final list and name tags, etc. The Alliance, and particularly Elizabeth, have been extremely helpful in organizing this code4lib, and it wouldn't happen without their support and hard work. They were even tolerant when the code4libcon voted to have the registration open up before the schedule, and we all know what kind of a wait-list and confusion that it caused, including a lot of extra work for Elizabeth. We do not check ID's at the registration desk. We will also have sharpies available. -karen -- Karen Estlund Digital Library Services, Head Oregon Digital Newspaper Program, Director University of Oregon Libraries 541-346-1854 [log in to unmask] On 1/31/2012 8:50 AM, Mike Taylor wrote: > Why? > > On 31 January 2012 16:41, Elizabeth Duell<[log in to unmask]> wrote: >> We are within 3 working days of the start of a national conference.
