There might be a good way to use the wiki for this, but I'm not sure it's worth it at this point if the mailing list method is working.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Obvious answer to registration limitations
I have followed this discussion with great interest and have only one comment."watch out for the slippery slope." There will be "unintended consequences" whenever you try to ensure a "just" registration system, be it by controlling "randomness" or by "qualifying" the participants. Where do you stop! In the spirit of collaboration and openness, instead of focusing on how to control the 250 registration slots, we should focus on how to make it available to more people (be it by size increase or by video streaming, etc). True openness and fairness for registration will mean that some people will always not be able to attend, and setting up registration "justice" will not fix that approximately 150+ people (and more in the future) will not be able to attend no matter what. And if there is no solution to increasing participation, then so be it. It stays the same size, and registration opens at the advertised time (everyone will know when that is) and close when full. Everyone will know thatand make their plans accordingly. I think of it like the Oklahoma Land Rush, or getting your plane reservations for Christmas. Some get in, some do not, and each person is responsible only to himself for doing it "in time." This is from a person who is coming for the first time following two failed attempts to attend in previous years. My humble opinion only. Michael North -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Reese, Terry Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2011 9:46 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Obvious answer to registration limitations I find it hard not to laugh a little bit at this ongoing discussion because it is so uniquely part of this community. On the one hand, you have some very creative people that think that they see a problem and want to fix it. On the other, people are spinning their wheels, throwing out the crazies solutions trying to solve a problem that we as the community have created ourselves. It makes me smile because it really does personify both the strengths and weakness of this community. I think people like this group because there certainly isn't a lack of ideas or people willing to spend time and energy on them. When we put that energy towards coding and solving problems in libraries -- good things happen (as well as some crazy things). However, there are those times when it feels like things go off the rails and to me, this is one of them. The conference is a nice event. It's something I know a lot of us enjoy because it’s a time to get together with colleagues and find out what people are working on. One of the reasons it works is because of its size. It's one of the few conferences where I get the opportunity to meet most of the attendees and get to have significant conversations around some very cool projects. But it's certainly not the only place where this happens. And with all that said, I can't help but make one suggestion to help add some diversity to the registration process. I've not looked at the list fully to see who is attending, but I think you'd find that some institutions are sending large contingencies to the conference (and I can't toss stones, because Oregon State is one of them). A simple solution would be to limit registrations per institution, much the same way CNI does. My guess is that if registration per institution was capped, at least during the early registration period, you'd find that a much more diverse audience could attend. --TR *** Terry Reese, Associate Professor Gray Family Chair for Innovative Library Services 121 Valley Library Corvallis, OR 97331 tel: 541.737.6384 *** -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Brett Bonfield Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2011 7:27 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Obvious answer to registration limitations Seems like a hybrid system might make sense. Reserve spots for presenters and scholarship winners, and decide on both before registration opens. I'm sure it's difficult to coordinate voting for presenters, and I know from having volunteered on the scholarship committee that it would be difficult to complete that process in time. But I think it would be worth it. I think it also makes sense to reserve spots for some number of volunteers. I think this would help with continuity, help to preserve the idea that everyone is a participant, reward people who put in considerable time, and also encourage more people to volunteer for the more time-consuming jobs. As with presenters, volunteers would have to pay for registration and their reserved spots would be non-transferable. Code4lib could v
