I assume that there is no way to change the date for *this* conference; it would require renegotiating agreements and rejuggling schedules with too many actors (hotels, restaurants, important speakers, etc.). But I would like everyone involved in planning *future* conferences to keep this issue in mind. > I would suggest that if the dates cannot be moved around by a > few days, the conference organizers should make a concerted attempt to > see to it that food acceptable for Passover consumption is available for > those that require it (like myself) and that conference attendees know > this in advance. Given how much variation there is in how people define "food acceptable for Passover consumption", this could easily lead to embarassment on both sides. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
