I have been to this conference once (2017), so if someone new wants to get
a taste, I will defer to them.
I will add my name as a backup so we don't go unrepresented.
Thank you all.

Thanks Gaurav and Neil! You guys are basically why we still have a group
- I was planning to send out an email or something earlier but then got
swamped in travel, and went offline for a few days in the Oregon hills,
so... yeah. You made it actually happen, which is kind of really important.
I notice nobody's added themselves yet. I recommend Neil or anyone who
actually likes weird meta conferences, discussing strategy, and being a
bit baffled by all the overly process-y process. Process for the sake of
process, if anything. Quite entertaining if you either take it seriously
and enjoy that sort of thing, or don't take it at all seriously and
enjoy that sort of thing.
As the latter, I had a lot of fun with it last time (I think), but I
probably shouldn't go two years in a row because that would be a bit
weird and I wasn't even in-state most of the year this year anyway and
missed most of the events (or at least one of them) and I'm not sure
they'd want me there anyway after what I might have done last time on
account of all the cold medicine. I don't actually know what I did. I
basically got like four hours of sleep the entire week up to it, spent
the whole thing completely zonked out still unable to sleep because my
stupid cold just Would Not Let Me, and then... I don't know! Good times.
I think.
So yeah. We gotta get on this! Deadline might be in just a few hours.
Go go go! Or we can just decide over email, but we gotta do something.

Step up folks! This could be your chance to

Though I'm disappointed that despite my feedback in the past, they are
still
using the somewhat ambiguous designation "Dec 16 Midnight CET", since
our own Wikipedia notes the lack of clear definition:
> Though there is no global unanimity on the issue, most often midnight
is
considered the start of a new day and is associated with the hour 00:00
Thus the worst case (and most likely) scanario is
that that means
2019-12-15T23:00 (23:00 or 11 PM on the 15th, UTC, which is 16:00
MST on
Sunday the 15th.
Let me know if I once again have made a miscalculation....
Of course it could mean midnight as the end of the day, which has always
seemed
more natural to me, but I doubt it.
As for who goes, here are a few helpful links re our process in previous
years:
