Then there is also, MINIX. A year or two ago they received a large grant to
continue work on that OS. My understanding is that the main difference between
MINIX and the others is that MINIX only loads modules when required instead of
all on boot to minimize the memory footprint. Also, if a

I do not think this is true. Pretty sure Kyle just said as much for this
year. I don't think it's been true in past years

Unless you mean volunteering for the actual conference.

Cary,
I don't remember this ever being the case. Can someone confirm this
practice for this or any other year? (There are dozens of volunteers
-- surely they didn't all get guaranteed spots, just for putting their
names on a wiki?)
AFAIK, there are two ways to get into a code4lib conference:
