The Foundation felt this was important to insure that a diverse mix of people had an opportunity to attend. Of course, we wish that we had enough room for everyone, but unfortunately the space available won&#8217;t permit that. So, please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edcampusdoe.org\/registration.html\" target=\"_blank\">put your name in the lottery once<\/a> and we&#8217;ll notify you in early April about your status as an attendee.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re excited that Edcampers all over the nation and world will have the opportunity to model this invigorating form of teacher-driven professional development for our nation&#8217;s leaders.
