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.
