This is a good idea; this should be a BOF or something---how to hack your system to get funding---maybe report back with a lightning talk? Some folks have good funding support, which is great. Some don't, but given the different problems or constraints, what's worked or could work to get people to a Code4Lib conference (major or chapter)? I know some people pay their own way and some use vacation time to go ... be good to hear that approach too. If someone's looking to change what they're doing in the library/technology world, getting to Code4Lib however they can is something to seriously consider.
