Subject: Registration date?

Hi planners, has any registration date for C4L13 been determined /
announced?  I apologize if I missed it, not seeing it on either mailing
list or the website.  If not, please do announce it a few weeks in advance
so people can set alarms / hire reminder services / clear schedules etc.
 Last year I was 3 hours late...

Thanks,
Maccabee

And registration has typically been announced 2-3 weeks in advance, hasn't
it?  I would expect the same this year.

For those of us who have to request funding way in advance, do we have
any ballpark figures on the registration and hotel nightly rates?

No more than $160 for the conference and exactly $115/night for the hotel.

Any idea when the registration date/time will be? I will be out of the
country for two weeks in November and would like to try and plan on
registering before the conference sells out.

Thanks,

registration time?

Thanks again,

I hope you're joking. PLEASE give everyone advance warning of
registration date. Like at least a week, if not two weeks. People are
going to be really mad if you open up registration without giving
everyone advance warning, because of how quickly registration fills up.

Unless you consider previous vague announcements "sometime after
thanksgiving" to have been advance warning?

I dont' think it should be that hard just to give us an exact date or
time, at least a week (preferably two weeks) in advance of that date and
time.

No I am not joking. Yes it is tomorrow. I wish I could have done
better. No *really* I do. I am extremely reluctant to kill it given

If I can be clued in on what a week buys us I am happy to kill it.

Point taken, though I can't remember if it was someone on the conference
committee suggested it for this year or if it was discussed in the main c4l
listserv. I'm still trying to track that reference down, but I might just
leave it at that.

I'm a bit less panicked now that I know that there's a higher cap of 400.

A week buys us:

(1) A completed schedule
(2) Clarity about pre-conferences
(3) Consistency with conference expectations - that people have a chance to
slate the time into their schedule to register. This has been done
previously by having a long lead time (1-2 week) pre-announcement of the
registration date. And maybe one year by having multiple time slots.

I'm not following you here. Consistency with *other* conferences?
Other code4libs conferences? Please expand on this.

Hi Francis,

Great to hear that the talks and pre-conferences are coming.

The rest is consistency with previous years, after some trauma when
registration sold out in a day. The community hasn't done a good enough job
of communicating that, obviously -- so I think if it's important, we might
want to add it to the host requirements. I don't think we realized how hard
that is for hosts and obviously it's great that you're pulling everything
together!

Subject: Re: Registration date?
Francis,

First, very, very grateful to you all for the hard work you've in
preparation for this year's Code4Lib.  Chicago stepped up to the
plate.  If registration ends up having to be tomorrow, I'll live with
it.  I'll give some arguments in favor of delaying it.They're not as
graceful/well-thought out as they could be, because I want to finish
them before leaving work ;).

I know there has been criticism in years past that code4lib is
exclusionary.  We've fought against it, but there's probably some
truth to it.  There are tendencies that many current regulars may not
even be aware of.

I've heard complaints about lack of lead time affects those with
institutions with more time needed for filing requests and the like.
It also is harder on people who are in institutions where they don't
fully control their own time (perhaps part time tech and part time
desk person, or have a lot of meetings, or may have a lot of
commitments) and need to be able to plan a chunk of time to sign up
for this fast filling up conference. It's also hard for those who
travel frequently to have a short window of notice.

There's also the slight issue that you announced at 4:00pm central.  I
was able to notice this before I left work and sent in an email to my
boss saying I might have to skip a meeting tomorrow for my usual "sit
in front of the keyboard and pray".  Folks on the east coast may well
be sitting at home at dinner right now and may not notice this until
tomorrow morning.  Unless, of course, they're in the more limited
social circles of the IRC list, which already has the topic changed or
know other people who will contact them to let them know sooner.
Depending on work schedules (say, someone who works weekends and takes
Monday/Tuesday off) they may not even be connecting to a computer.

These might help re-enforce the image that there's a core group as
people with flexible schedules and flexible budgets/procedures will be
able to quickly arrange stuff to get in to register while those who
aren't don't get in, leading to some of the same faces over and over.
(I must admit I'm ambiguous with how I feel with some of the charges
of the difficulty of registrations in the past being exclusionary, but
I can recognize that there have been folks who feel that way.)

My hope is the 400 cap will alleviate a lot of the stresses of the
system so perhaps this is worry about nothing.

I'm really trying not to come across as judgmental.  I think till we
can get some sort of better organization/group/committee that can work
on this, it's going to be really hard on the hosts to pull everything
off perfectly.

Jon Gorman - who has been mulling over these issues without any great
answers himself, but might be able to do a lightning talk or blog post
at some eventual point...

Hi Francis,

Before I venture into this discussion, let me say that I wholeheartedly agree with Jon Gorman: you and the other organizers have done a *ton* of work, for which I am sincerely grateful; Chicago *did* step up to the plate, big time; and having a 400 attendee cap will take some (a lot?) of the pressure off.  I'm not advocating for changing the registration date.  I sympathize with the fact that judgment calls have to be made.

However, so that we have some actual data to answer the questions above, I searched the archives and determined that over the last five Code4lib conferences, the lead time of announcing when registration would start varied from 5 days to 4 weeks, with 7 days being fairly typical:

Code4lib 2012: 4 weeks lead time [1]

Code4lib 2011: 5 days lead time [2]

Code4lib 2010: 7 days lead time [3]

Code4lib 2009: 7 days lead time [4]

Code4lib 2008: 7 days lead time [5]
