9. WILIUG Fall, 2014 Business meeting Spring, 2015 Conference Our best pre-conference idea to-date is to have Richard Jackson (from CA) present “Regular Expressions.” Your thoughts? (Topics for either a 3-hour preconference session or a 50-minute session) ‘Any presenters out there? You may volunteer now! Location needed! Conference format, so we need 3- 4 breakout rooms, in addition to the main room. Probably an academic library or a really big public/special library. [beg, plead] Dates? Best on a Thu-Fri [more begging and pleading]
