[lug] CLIQ Stuff

[cool at lwn.net]

The availability of conference space.  We tried to expand the conference
to two days, but failed to find adequate conference space anywhere
for a reasonable cost.  In the end, we returned to the Marriott, but
they didn't even have a Saturday available, only the Friday.

For some, this is bad, due to the conflict with school and work.
On the other hand, we actually got requests for a non-weekend event
from some attendees who preferred to skip work rather than miss
a day off with their families :-).

Anyway, the scheduling move from Saturday to Friday was essentially
not within our control.
