Finally made this into a patch to allow the dynamic updating of the
axes.labelpad parameter.
Hope this is in the appropriate format!
Thanks,

Hello all,
Sorry to be writing this at this late point, but I've been hoping I 
could find a way around it. I won't be able to attend an extra day at 
either end of Scipy year, both due to personal commitments and new 
funding constraints at NASA. I do plan to attend/host the matplotlib 
sprint again, however, which is not a bad opportunity to catch up on 
some of these issues.
So, an extra developer summit day is still possible if someone else is 
able to organize it -- I just, unfortunately, won't be able to attend. 
We can still use the matplotlib donated funds to cover the cost of the 
extra hotel night (assuming the numbers of people wanting to do that is 
not too large) and meeting space (if the cost is not too high, though 
maybe locals like Damon have a connection for free and/or cheap space). 
For reimbursement, I would need a receipt for that hotel night (ideally 
with that one night broken out individually), which will then be 
submitted to numfocus, who will reimburse you directly.
Sorry to be uncommunicative on this (and uncommunicative in general 
lately). I hope something can still work out at this late date!
Mike
