Hi, The deadline of 17 February 2017 for proposals to host the 2018 annual conference has passed, without any proposals being submitted. Obviously, we won't be starting a voting period today, so at this point I would like to put a call for any groups or organization who have considered hosting a Code4Lib to put your cards on the table: what would you need in order to be able and willing to host the 2018 conference? Are there specific forms of assistance you would like from other community members? Changes to the scope or size of the conference? Finding additional institutions to collaborate with on a proposal? Simply a little more time to polish up a proposal? Please let us know. The mailing list, Slack, and IRC are all available for an open discussion; if you are not quite ready to make an open proposal but have questions or just want to run some ideas by a friendly ear, I'm available, as are undoubtedly many folks who have served on past and present conference planning committees.
