Hi, As a reminder, the deadline for the current round [1] of proposals to host a Code4Lib annual conference in 2018 is Friday, 17 March 2017 at midnight PST—i.e., tomorrow. I know that there are groups out there who are actively working on putting together proposals but who have yet to secure a fiscal sponsor. I encourage those groups to consider making their proposals public tomorrow regardless. Doing so may reveal ways that other members of the community can help, either in an ad hoc fashion for next year's conference or via one of the approaches suggested in the report of the Fiscal Continuity Interest Group. At the very least, it may clarify how much additional time may be required to get complete proposals for this cycle.
