I joined the mailing list so I could find out about the registration as soon as it happened. It came out in mid-morning and I happened to be in a meeting until 12 or so and by the time I tried to register it was sold out. This is annoying. Why not find a venue that is big enough to meet the obvious demand? There are surely plenty of larger venues in a city such as Seattle. > A meeting with about 200 attendees is qualitatively different from a meeting with 600, and I wouldn't want C4L to change that way. Perhaps a better solution would be to change the registration process from a first come-first serve basis to a lottery. Everyone who registers over a initial sign-up period gets an equal chance at one of the spots. That way you aren't screwed if you have a meeting during the 15 minutes registration is really open. -- Thomas Dowling [log in to unmask]
