I guess that would be ONE way of dealing with the audience for Code4Lib
greatly exceeding the capacity of the conference.
I definitely couldn't get funding to go to the Netherlands. But I might
be willing to pay for it myself, since I'd like to visit there anyway. I
guess February is probably as cheap plane tickets as anytime for there,
weather's not so great.
But holding the main c4l in a non-US location is definitely going to
greatly cut down US attendance, to those who are able to afford it. That
may or may not be a good thing.

Wow, this sounds too good to be true. Perhaps this is premature, but
do you think there might be interest in hosting a code4lib2010 in the
Netherlands? (he asks selfishly).
I see you started a wiki page [1]. If at any point you want
nl.code4lib.org (or something) to point somewhere just say the word.

At various tech related library gatherings here in the Netherlands there
have been discussion about setting up a regional Code4Lib (or something
similar)
So as a start, if there any subscribers on this list who are in the
vicinity of Netherlands/Belgium and interested, please give me a shout.
We can then argue about a date/venue/agenda for an inaugural meeting.
