Just not many responses. Pretty much people only filled it out if they
wanted to attend.

OK. As soon as we book the space, we'll be expanding the conference
committee (and probably starting a project around it).

Craparoonie, I hadn't realize that OSCON was early this year. I don't
think we can afford to piggyback it on OSCON, which is very expensive
(like, $10,000 per day). Unlike Toronto, summer is high tourist season
in Portland and there simply aren't inexpensive spaces.
