YearlyKos Convention Registration Closes SATURDAY
Ok all you procrastinators -- if you want to go to YearlyKos, but haven't registered yet, your time is running out. YearlyKos registration closes this Saturday, July 14th, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. After that, we will accept no more registrations, except at the door at what will be a higher price.
So, if you still want to see an unparalleled set of panel discussions, and a star studded list of speakers (and of course, most importantly, your pixelated friends whom you've only met in the blogosphere), You need to do so now!

A few more things of note. . .
We are still accepting sponsorships for the convention. If you or your organization would like to be a YearlyKos sponsor, click here.
We are also still hoping to meet our budgeted projections for donations from the DailyKos (and blogospheric) community. Although we have had a successful year of fundraising, one area where we fell short was donations from the Daily Kos community and otherwise from the blogosphere. We actually received LESS in community donations then we received last year. These numbers suggest that, in terms of future planning, organizations such as ours are going to have to rely more on more on institutional funders, who have their own agendas. But we can avoid this result ONLY IF the Daily Kos and blogospheric community contributes in adequate numbers. If you'd like to contribute and help in this cause, please click here.
Finally, the YearlyKos Convention organizers would like to congratulate Chris Bowers, Mike Lux, and Matt Stoller, on their sucessful launch of OpenLeft.com. Bowers and Stoller are perhaps the two most prolific and talented bloggers around today, and that Mike Lux guy seems ok too (heh). We expect great things from them in future. Also, The YearlyKos Convention organizers are partnering with OpenLeft on the "Journal of Netroots Ideas", a soon to be fully-unveiled online and hard copy publication that will present in-depth, serious articles written by the best of the blogosphere. Keep your eye on both Openleft and the YearlyKos website for more updates regarding the Journal of Netroots Ideas.
