Aha! Kickstarter, perhaps? If 100 people put in $5...

Perhaps not for 2014, but to be folded into planning for the next one.

I also like the idea of voluntary "memberships" that fund scholarships.

Perhaps one of the organizers of that could speak to its success. But that's definitely something that people could organize if they were so inclined.

I don't disagree that it would be awesome to have scholarships for everyone who has some sort of economic need, and this is a conversation that should be had. But there's a lot that goes into opening something up based on economic status, and while that work would be valuable and awesome, it's a little late in the game for 2014. There's also the consideration of when to offer both gender and need-based scholarships, since the number of scholarships are variable and if there are only two to be awarded then the historic trend of ethnic/gender based awards should probably be carried forward. Or not.

I had to go to Chicago last year (I live in SC - and I was a scholarship recipient) in order to see women doing the same thing that I do. And it was pretty awesome. So I would vote for always having the ethnic/gender based scholarship simply for the connection it can give people - it honestly isn't something that be described. I went from having no cultural touchstones in this area of my life to having several.

I would suggest that some of you who are upset about how things are run sign up for the Scholarship Committee next year and do some work from the inside. Because, again, you should have raised your concerns before we sent out the call. The scholarships happen every year.

>>> Code4Lib is, of course, one of the least expensive conferences you'll find. And the community and organizers care a lot about keeping it so -- there are sometimes disputes in a given year about whether the organizers could have kept it even less expensive. But it's still, every year, one of the most affordable conferences around.
