If at all possible, try and remember to contact OFTC (and Freenode for that matter) before your conference starts. The only information we need is the start and end dates for the conference, as well as any IPs or IP blocks that might be in use by attendees during the conference. OFTC is always happy to add these exceptions, and wants to make sure your attendees have a quality experience for the duration of your conference. Thanks for getting in contact with us, and of course thanks for using OFTC! tjfontaine PS -- If you're aware of any upcoming conferences that might also need accommodations on OFTC please don't hesitate to let us know so we can seek out the pertinent information. ----- End forwarded message -----
