One thought is that we should actively setup a roommate finding system so the costs of hotels can be shared.  Up to 3 people can share a hotel room for the conference hotel (yes, each with their own bed), and that makes the price much more reasonable.  I&#8217;m also hoping donations will substantially defray the cost.
