If there is this much interest why not pick bigger venues? I have beenfollowing this conversation for weeks and wondered why that hadn't already happened. ----------------------------------------- Wilfred (Bill) Drew, M.S., B.S., A.S.

Everyone who's in has been informed, so if you haven't heard that you're in by now, no news is unfortunately bad news. One topic that would probably be worth discussing for future conferences would be the registration process as the current one only worked for people who knew to expect a mad rush and were available during a very specific window. Seems like a lottery or some other mechanism may have done a better job of being fair and making the event accessible to a diverse group. kyle On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 2:01 PM, Akerman, Laura <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > As someone who's never been to Code4Lib, really wants to go, tried on > "Black Wednesday" but unfortunately had meetings all morning that prevented > her from getting to it until it was too late-- > > When do wait list people usually find out they're in, if they get in? > > Plane reservations get more expensive as time goes on, and much as I love > cross-country driving, February's not the best time for it.
