I also like this idea, and it also conflicts for my schedule, but I was contemplating skipping my other commitment to attend this. Hadn't decided for sure, as I was waiting to see a few of the Virtual LT talk titles that signed up (hah!). Also, I am a bit of a newcomer to code4lib, having never attended the conference, and coming from a related but somewhat different community (environmental informatics). I thought this might be a good way to hear a little more about what is developing in the code4lib community. I considered giving a Virtual LT as well, but thought it best to hear a few to gauge what might be of interest from my projects. Matt On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 2:48 PM, Edward M.
