You know Code4Lib was started only, what, 6 years ago, by a bunch of random coders who just said "Hey, let's put on a conference, why not?" It's gotten harder to put on since then, but the first one was pretty seat of the pants (I understand, I wasn't there, although i was at the 2nd). If you're unhappy that you can't get into code4lib, start your own that you can get into!
