Ross - no worries whatsoever. Any one who does any kind of online moderation is 
already up for sainthood in my book. :)

Sorry about the delay in moderating that: Google jumped into the moderation
screen with my work account (which doesn't have permission for that) which
was then empty (but didn't obviously say "you're in the wrong account and
don't have permission to do this, dummy") so I assumed it was Francis'
message pending and somebody else had already approved it or whatever.

I would refer to it less as a back room deal and more to it as, "hey remember 
when no one else aside from Chattanooga submitted a proposal the first 
go-around and there were only two groups who reached out after Andrea's first 
email several weeks back in the spirit of rescuing this thing well this is the 
second of those two groups" sort of conversation. But certainly if several 
cities want to put in for it now, by all means. Up to the community.

I think that this needs to be opened up again to solicit any and all
proposals. Doing a back room deal seems quite unlike Code4Lib, even given
the need to find another host rapidly. We can do an immediate call for
proposals, end it in two weeks, and take a week to vote. Three weeks and
done, in an open and inclusive process.

Hi Francis -

I sent a reply to your code4libconf Google Group post... but looks like it's 
still in moderation mode.

We're speaking w/the other group on Monday afternoon in a conference call. 
We'll have concrete information to share after that.

I agree that a Call for Proposals should go out and other groups be invited
to apply. It is still early enough for an energized group to pull off a
Feb/Mar event.

Hey all,

We (Christina Harlow and I) are writing to follow up on the message to
from Brian Rogers to Code4lib on 2016-06-07. Specifically the bit
about

...
1. There is a host site that has contacted Chattanooga Planning
Committee and informed us they are actively seeking a fiscal host and
should know shortly

Neither Christina or I are keen on scuppering their efforts if they
have made significant progress. That said it is our hope that a
conference *WILL* take place. We would like to work on a proposal to
bring Code4lib to "The Empire State" in the summer of 2017 but will
want to have close to a full year to prepare for this.

Our request is can we have progress report from this other group? 
(Deadline?)

Post a new call for proposals?
Other?


Cheers,
./fxk
