Re: [CODE4LIB] C4L17 - LA Fiscal Host Announcement

[Gary Thompson]

I am happy to follow up on Brian's announcement, confirming UCLA's 
agreement to serve as fiscal sponsor for this proposal. Ginny Steel, 
UCLA's University Librarian, signed a statement yesterday saying:


   /"The UCLA Library enthusiastically supports the collaborative
   effort of the Chattanooga 2017 Code4Lib Conference organizing
   committee and the Southern California Code4Lib community to hold the
   2017 conference in the Los Angles area. If the greater Code4Lib
   community accepts this collaborative proposal, the UCLA Library will
   serve as fiduciary sponsor for the conference."/

SoCal organizers have met with the Chattanooga organizers, and are 
encourage by the potential of this collaboration.


If any other local group(s) offer another proposal, we will post details 
of our collaboration so the community can decide through the normal 
voting process. If you are considering such a proposal, please let us 
know that a proposal is forthcoming.


But if there are no other proposal by July 1, we will dive in an plan to 
host another awesome Code4Lib Conference in February or March, 2017.
