I have that from this side of the country. :) ALA and DrupalCon are both in CA, LITA Forum is in MN, PLA is in Denver, etc. I would never be able to afford to go to all of them, obviously, but it makes it harder to choose when they're all so far away. So I feel your pain. Boy howdy do I feel your pain. :) Sarah > Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2015 11:59:45 -0800 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Vote for Code4lib 2016 location > To: [log in to unmask] > > Having recently read both proposals, my only concern is that SLA is in > Philadelphia in 2016.
