===Schedule===
# Keep Super Bowl Sunday free
# Avoid snow and bitter cold!
# no breakout reports - many feel they are unnecessary

==Food==

# If you do the preconferences in the main conference space (vs. in spread-out off-site spots), many people will expect breakfast or at least regular coffee/tea/soft-drink breaks throughout the day (so have them?)
# Is it possible to get a hot breakfast with/instead of continental?
# Consider Vegetarians
# Decent lunch menu - not taco or spaghetti :-)
# Automated Testing
# Two words: Soft pretzels. 
# Beer party needs a big enough space.

(Note: some attendees really like tacos and/or spaghetti, and think these are excellent lunch choices.  YMMV.)

==Registration==
Use EventBrite--it's worth the admin money for the ease of use, and the reports that can be generated


==T-shirts==
* Men's and ladies sizes -- can it be done?
* 100% cotton is worth it.
* How about blind submissions to tee shirt vote? I.e., submitter name not associated with submissions during voting.

==Suggestions from dchuds talk==

* less complacency from overall committee--less burden on local org committee 
* Advisory committee - made up of representatives from past hosts
* Programming committee - don't have voting on talks
* do work in the open
* build on experience from past conferences
* code4lib multicore
* multi-track conference
* support 500 people
* make it more like PyCon

==Other ideas==
* more regional c4l (but drop the "regional" suffix) 
* keep voting on programming!!!
