I've been in an unconference event and I know this kind of setup is usually more useful because what our discussions are always to the point. So, congrats to the team. I'm looking forward to be able to participate next year. My only regret is I couldn’t join the showcase discussion at ALA.

You may not change ALA that way, but you can help fight the good fight to make sure that LITA doesn't totally succumb to ALA inertia. LITA may not be perfect, but it at least tries to be more agile and it takes folks like you and Jason and Michelle to keep that free spirit alive and kicking. Run for LITA Board instead!

In answer to this question: <em>Will I lose my sanity and/or soul if I say, run for a seat on ALA Council?</em> My answer is "not necessarily but you will use up a lot of time that you could have spent on other more fun projects being on Council" I did my time and opted not to continue. I'll vote for you if you run. Glad to help out. In answer to this question:
