Re-open the waitlist?

We're hearing from people who want to come to BloggerCon, asking if we can re-open the wait list. Here's the deal.

There are two major constraints, money and space. With yesterday's Paypal outage, no money has come in beyond what was raised last week. Right now we don't have enough to cover the expenses, food, wifi, etc. So until we've met the minimum numbers, we can't let any more people in, it would be irresponsible.

Second, there's only so much space, but we've been able to do more juggling. It turns out Stanford has audio-video facilities that allow us to use the second largest room as an overflow room for the largest room. This means that the opening and closing sessions and the Podcasting session can have 110 more people if we shuffle the schedule.

So all this adds up to a "maybe" re re-opening the waitlist. I'll keep you posted here and on the BloggerCon blog.
