What Josh said:

In a multi-track, you are forced to choose and never get to see what is going on in the areas that you've been forced to opt out of. Which I think would be a shame since some of the "non-technical" talks really NEED to be heard by those who are there purely for the "tech."

I do think someone from Philly needs to answer the original question: can they put on a single track conference if that's what the community wants. It will make a difference it seems, in the vote.

Then if BOTH LA and Philly can do single track (or multitrack or some other permutation) we can vote on each city as equals.

This way we don't need to debate the merits of single or multitrack at the same time as we're debating the merits of LA versus Philly.

Allowing for "focus" via multi-track also enables echo chambers in which people that could probably most benefit from non-code related talks never see them.

As a possible solution, we could have a post-conference afternoon on Thursday where people could meet to dig deeper into themes that occurred during the general session. Similar to what happened this year with the breakouts at the end, but with a little more emphasis and organization.

A couple of thoughts:

1) It takes a lot of effort to put these proposals together. Let's not lose sight that both proposals are good proposals, and that's why we have a vote. I'm sure there are various opinions on both proposals.

2) Separate from either proposal, I was struck this year by a greater diversity in topic areas for code4lib than I have observed in the past.
There definitely felt like there was interest in tracks that were not as code-focused (such as culture / community, management, etc.). With the conference growing to the size it has, I personally feel it might be interesting to try a hybrid of single / multi-track, to allow those attending an opportunity to have the ability to have some additional focus on some theme areas. When we started code4lib, the size of the conference was such that a single track made a lot of sense; as the event has grown, both in size and maturity, I'd like to suggest that it may be worth exploring having both single track sessions and multi-track sessions to allow deeper dives by different segments of the attendees.

Just my $.02
