Hey all,
I have a crazy notion to visit the Seattle Public Library during today's
lunch break. Looks like there's a taco place across the street from the
library at 4th and Madison -- maybe if it's quick and not too busy we can
squeeze in a quick lunch and have 30 minutes to look around the librar
I don't much care about the Super Bowl, but if the Danes are showing up,
include me in.

I won't speak on behalf of the organizers, but my recollection is that
signups for lightning talks on a given day are typically opened the day
before. I think there was some kerfuffle related to this last year (I seem

I have mixed feelings on the idea of requiring a minimum weight in the
voting process. Vote pandering is definitely a real issue, but I think
imposing strictures on the voting process goes a little bit against
something fundamental about Code4Lib's anarcho-democratic underpinnings. I
