One possibility for this is the InDiCo conference management system produced by
CERN which was used for the 2005 ELAG meeting. It has been used by hundreds of
other conferences and workshops since then. It is open source and written in

That's a really interesting idea. I wonder how realistic/challenging

I don't know that folks would need to "what Code4Lib is about" in the
sense that they know what Code4Lib has been about or used to be about.
They very well might dream up an "about" that is more about us than we

My honest opinion is that we should get closer to this model. I think

For a couple years, I ran DrupalCon, which in five years grew from
just over 30 folks to a North American event with about 3,000 and a

Not sure the bigger is worse dictum holds. Do Code4Libbers suddenly get
trolly when you have more of them about? Sure, a larger conference is a
different experience, but I wonder if what the organisational toll is for not
honouring folks' frustration in being left out in the cold.
