=== CURATEcamp Hackfest ===
* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? Interested in digital curation? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest? See Roy Tennant's [http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA332564.html "Where Librarians Go To Hack"] and the page for the [http://access2010.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3 Access 2010 Hackfest]. I propose a full-day hackfest with a focus on the domains of digital curation, preservation, and repositories -- think stuff like CDL's microservices, Hydra, Fedora, etc. Here's how it works, roughly: we assemble in the morning and do some whiteboarding, mostly to gauge folks' interests and jot down project ideas; then we separate into teams and hack on stuff for the rest of the day and present our progress at the end. Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! (Wiki space will be made in advance of the hackfest so participants may begin kicking around ideas.)
* Duration: full-day
* Speaker Bio: Facilitators of the CURATEcamp Hackfest will be:
** Shaun Ellis - Digital Library Collections Interface Developer, Princeton University Library
** Jason Fowler - Programmer Analyst, UBC Library Systems
* Contact: Mike Giarlo (michael at psu.edu)
==Half Day Morning==
=== What's New In Solr ===
* Description: The library world is fired up about Solr. Practically every next-gen catalog is using it (via Blacklight, VuFind, or other technologies). Solr has continued improving in some dramatic ways, including geospatial support, field collapsing/grouping, extended dismax query parsing, pivot/grid/matrix/tree faceting, autosuggest, and more. This session will cover all of these new features, showcasing live examples of them all, including anything new that is implemented prior to the conference.
* Duration: half-day

=== Intro to Functional Programming with JavaScript (and a little Haskell) ===
* Description: Functional programming is a topic that is becoming increasingly important for programmers to be aware of. Unfortunately it also has the reputation of being an area of programming that is particularly difficult and academic. Languages like Haskell, while being very powerful, certainly live up to this reputation. However many of the essential features of functional programming can be explored through a language as simple and commonplace as JavaScript.

=== Running cloud Servers ===
*Desription: In this pre-conference we will work with the Amazon EC2, S3, and EBS platforms to launch, configure and deploy cloud-based servers. The workshop will include a series of short hands-on tutorials designed to take you from complete novice to semi-skilled cloud server administrator. the tutorials include: 1)short overview of Amazon cloud services and how they are used 2)Amazon registration, 3)Launching, configuring and securing your first instance, 4)Installing a service (Vufind) and 5)Backing up in the cloud - Backup routines and server images.
*Duration: half-day
=== Creating a new JHOVE2 Format Module=== Description: JHOVE2 is a Java framework and application for format-aware characterization of files, byte streams within files, and file containers or other file aggregations. JHOVE2 examines a digital source unit and extracts feature information about that source unit for purposes of classification, analysis, and use. JHOVE2 is a significant re-engineering of its JHOVE ([http://hul.harvard.edu/jhove/ http://hul.harvard.edu/jhove/]) predecessor, with a highly modular structure, intended to facilitate the rapid creation of new characterization modules for many formats that can easily be plugged into the JHOVE2 framework. The initial JHOVE2 distribution includes modules for UTF-8, SGML, Shapefile, TIFF, WAV, XML, and ICC color profiles, with ZIP, PDF and JPEG-2000 modules expected to be deployed in the next few months. Developers at the Wegener Institute ([Categoryhttp:Code4Lib2011//www.awi-potsdam.de http://www.awi-potsdam.de]) have already created new modules for netCDF and GRIB. Developers at the French National Library (La Bibliothèque nationale de France [http://www.bnf.fr/fr/acc/x.accueil.html http://www.bnf.fr/fr/acc/x.accueil.html]) are currently working on GZIP and ARC modules. This session will provide an overview of the JHOVE2 processing module and plug-in architecture, and will walk through the steps of creating a new format module. For more information, visit http://jhove2.org. Duration: half-day Speaker Bio: Sheila Morrissey is a member of the JHOVE2 development team and is Senior Research Developer at Portico ([http://www.portico.org/digital-preservation/ http://www.portico.org/digital-preservation/]) Contact: Sheila Morrissey <sheila dot morrissey at ithaka dot org>
==Half Day Afternoon==
=== Using JHOVE2 for Policy Assessment of Files ===
Description: JHOVE2 is a Java framework and application for format-aware characterization of files, bytestreams within files, and file containers or other file aggregatations. JHOVE2 examine a digital source unit and extracts feature information about that source unit for purposes of classification, analysis, and use.
=== VIVO BootCamp===
Description: VIVO is an open source semantic web application originally developed and implemented at Cornell University. When installed and populated with researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments, it enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at that institution. VIVO supports browsing and a search function which returns faceted results for rapid retrieval of desired information and includes options for RDF linked data distribution.

=== Islandora Repository System ===
Description: The Islandora project (islandora.ca) is growing, with new functionality provided by Solr integration and funding to support the growth of this OS project beyond our library borders. Islandora provides integration between Fedora and Drupal, with custom solution packs to address the needs of multiple data types. This session will review the project's development and current features, as well as providing guidance for basic installation and configuration.
