Bumping this thread to summarize where we're at and what we need to know. Mentally running a raked-preference algorithm on the votes we saw, it looks like the community prefers 3 (Thurs/Fri), then 1 (Mon/Tues), then a distant 2 (Sunday). However, Casey's follow-up makes it seem like we don't have much of an option, must do 2/Sunday.
Regarding costs, there seems to be ongoing confusion. Casey mentioned above and on the TSC that the Monday/Tuesday cross-community event would be free for DDF participants, but told a few of us on yesterday's TWS that he's now hearing it will not be free. I've also heard quite a bit of off-list concern that the DDF is at risk of not being well-attended since it's a single weekend day and ONS is so expensive ($1195 early bird). A number of us also sent talks to ONS that now seem like they should be part of the cross-community event (track details sent after CFP closed), so we're not sure if we will get speaker passes. We've also asked for the hotel discount to start on Saturday since the DDF will be Sunday but haven't heard back. We really need to get some clarity here ASAP as folks are trying to figure out budgets and flights will start going up in price soon.
