Alexis - I'm posting your question to the list because I don't have
the answer.
We have a pre-conference room which will hold 80 people reserved for
Monday, 2/23.  We could book a second (and third?) room if necessary.
I'm not sure if the pre-conference topics go to popular vote or if
anyone willing to organize one gets a green light.  Jeremy or others
- how did work last year?
