==Programming Sign-up==

Code4Lib Midwest programming depends on the folks attending the conference. Please consider giving a presentation or lightning talk, or submitting your ideas for a hackfest/workshop.

Share what you are working on! Add your name and a description below. Please also let us know how long you'll need, and whether you prefer Thursday or Friday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations ===
(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)

'''Talk Title''' - [Speaker Name]: [Description]

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

===Lightning Talks===
Have something cool to share but you don't want to be in front of the room for more than 5 minutes? Lightning talks are for you. Sign up now or at the conference:

==Group Activity==
* We're planning to try something a little different: a group mind-map, to warm up for the Breakout sessions.
* Write down on the specified Post-It color (provided): Your name, and one of the following topics:
** '''Green''': the thing which made me most proud this week
** '''Yellow''': the library technology I'm most excited about right now
** '''Pink''': the most annoying thing about my library's website
** '''Blue''': something I'd like to see at the next Chicago Code4Lib meetup
* Stick your post-it on the whiteboard in 1-470, ''close to another topic which you consider related''. Please feel free to move other peoples' post-it notes around!
* Now do another one! Do several!
* Talk amongst yourselves.

==Breakout/Hackathon Sessions==
* Up for debate: these are just some possible topics. We need four total.
* If you have an idea, add it to the list! If we end up with more than four, we will conduct a straw poll to determine the most relevant/popular.
* For inspiration, [http://wiki.code4lib.org/2015_Preconference_Proposals here is the list of pre-conference workshops] at the last national Code4Lib
 
===Meteor.js tutorial===
* In web dev circles, Meteor is the new hotness. It lets you make single-page apps which synchronize automatically between clients/users and the cloud/server. It also lets you kick out iOS and Android apps easily. It's pretty slick.
* Let's get a Meteor.js installation up and running. [https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/blaze/creating-an-app We'll do this tutorial], at least as much as we can. Be prepared for things not to work; let's figure them out together!
* No prior experience necessary, although familiarity with JavaScript will be useful.
* Macintosh/Linux only, unless you have experience using Cygwin on Windows.
* Allan Berry will lead (for better or worse)

===Metadata/data hackathon===
*A discussion around tools and workflows for cleaning up messy data; bring your own data sets to work on if you like.
* We will bring some metadata to share, but please bring your own if you have some! Messier the better!
* Kate Flynn will lead.

==UIC Environs: Lunch and Parking==
* '''[https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z2JOTakXueSk.kSv_bxAdo3Xc&usp=sharing Lunch and parking map]'''
* Food options are mostly clustered in three places: Greektown (N of the freeway along Halsted), Taylor street (SW of campus), and University Village (S along Halsted).

==Evening social==
* Join us at [http://jakstap.com/bar_and_grill_location_chicago_il.html Jak's Tap] at 5:00pm, for beer and further discussion!
*: Jak's is within walking distance of UIC, a block or two north, across the freeway. Parking can be challenging up there, although meters are usually available on Jackson Blvd.

==Getting to UIC==
* Public Transit: Take the Blue Line west from the Loop; get off at the UIC-Halsted stop. Walk south.
* '''[https://www.uic.edu/about/visit-directions More information on visiting UIC]''', including (better) mass-transit directions
* Parking in a UIC lot will cost $13 for a full day.
* If you're driving, there are several parking lots available (marked on the above map); I recommend the one south of campus (1135 Morgan). Note that no streets connect Harrison with Taylor, including Morgan, between Racine and Halsted; to reach the south lot, come up Morgan from Roosevelt.

== Circle Interchange difficulties==
* Circle Interchange (the confluence of I-90 and I-290 just NE of campus) construction is ongoing.
* Construction is causing traffic havoc nearby, especially near the corner of Harrison and Halsted. The Harrison bridge over I-90 doesn't currently exist. Best to avoid this area if possible.
* The Morgan street exit from I-290 has been closed for some time. [http://www.circleinterchange.org/under_construction/morgan_street.aspx According to IDOT]:
** Exiting access is prohibited from Westbound I-290/Congress Parkway
** From Southbound I-90/94 - exit Adams Street
** From Northbound I-90/94 - exit Ashland Avenue, backtrack east via Jackson Boulevard or Harrison Street

==Full Day==

===Drupal4lib Sub-con Barcamp===

* Contact [[User:highermath|Cary Gordon]], cgordon@chillco.com or
* [[User:cdmo|Charlie Morris]], NCSU Libraries, cdmorris@ncsu.edu

This will be a full day of self-selected barcamp style sessions. Anyone who wants to present can write down the topic on an index card and, after the keynote, we will vote to choose what we want to see. Attendees can also pick a topic and attempt to talk someone else into presenting on it.

If we run out of topics, we will pay homage to the project by testing patches for Drupal 8. It is easy, and we will show you how to do this invaluable task.

This event is open to the library community. There is a nominal fee ($10) for non-Code4LibCon attendees.

Local Drupal uber-ninja Larry Garfield will stop by to answer questions and give us some guidance.

====I plan on attending:====

==Half Day Morning==
=== Open space session ===

* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu

The rest of code4libcon is pretty well structured these days; come in the morning for a few hours of old-school [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-space_technology open space technology] unconference. Bring a rough talk or idea you want to share or questions you have or something you want to learn about or discuss with other people, and be ready to tell us about it. Use it as extra prep time for your upcoming prepared or lightning talk if you want. We'll plan the morning out a little bit at the beginning, but not too much. What we do will be up to the people there in the room.

If there's interest, we could start with a "welcome to code4lib" introductory session for newcomers.

'''I plan on attending:'''

=== Delivery services ===
* Ted Lawless, Brown University Library, tlawless at brown edu.
* Kevin Reiss, Princeton University Library, kr2 at princeton edu.

Are you interested in making it easier for users to obtain copies of known items? Do you feel your OpenURL and Interlibrary Loan software could be streamlined? This pre-conference workshop will focus on providing services that deliver content to users. Discovery systems are doing a better job of exposing library holdings but there's still a lot of work to do actually get the content in the users hands.

Possible topics/activities include:
* group discussion of what some libraries have done in this area
* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery
* overview of tools available
* sharing of strategies and experiences
* time to work with and review open source code in this area. Some possible tools to install and test out [https://github.com/team-umlaut/umlaut Umlaut], [https://github.com/lawlesst/heroku-360link Py360 Link].

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu

Since Google published its paper on BigTable in 2006, alternatives to the traditional relational database model have been growing in both variety and popularity. These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called "Big Data" problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, MongoDB, and Neo4j.

* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu

* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? Interested in data visualization? 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.html Access 2010 Hackfest]. We propose a half-day hackfest with a focus on visualization library data -- think stuff like library catalog data, access/circulation statistics, etc. Here's how it works, roughly:
- we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.
- we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.
- at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.

Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable!

=== Intro to Hydra ===
* Adam Wead, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (awead at rockhall.org)
* Justin Coyne, Data Curation Experts (justin.coyne at curationexperts.com)
* Mark Bussey, Data Curation Experts (mark at curationexperts.com)

Hydra (http://projecthydra.org) is a free and open source repository solution that is being used by institutions on both sides of the North Atlantic to provide access to their digital content. Hydra provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike. Leveraging Blacklight as its front end discovery interface, the hydra project provides a suite of software components, data models, and design patterns for building a robust and sustainable digital repository, as well as a community of support for ongoing development. This workshop will provide an introduction to the hydra project and its software components. Attendees will leave with enough knowledge to get started building their own local repository solutions. This workshop will be led by Adam Wead of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

=== Intro to Blacklight ===
* Bess Sadler, Stanford University Library (bess at stanford.edu)
* Jason Ronallo, NC State (jronallo at gmail.com)
* Shaun Ellis (helper), Princeton University Library, (shaune@princeton.edu)

Blacklight (http://projectblacklight.org) is a free and open source discovery interface built on solr and ruby on rails. It is used by institutions such as Stanford University, NC State, WGBH, Johns Hopkins University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an ever expanding community of adopters and contributors. Blacklight can be used as a front-end discovery solution for an ILS, or the contents of a digital repository, or to provide a unified discovery solution for many siloed collections. In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&A around local issues people might encounter.

Note: this workshop will be tailored as a follow-on to the morning's RailsBridge Intro to Ruby on Rails workshop, but everyone is welcome

=== DPLA Intro/Hacking ===

* Presenter(s)/Leader(s): Nate Hill (Chattanooga Public Library, DPLA Audience and Participation Co-chair), SJ Klein (Wikimedia, OLPC, DPLA Technical Aspects Co-chair), Jeff Licht (DPLA Technical Development Project Manager)

The [http://dp.la Digital Public Library of America] (DPLA) is an open source metadata repository that provides read-only access to millions of records from across the United States via an open REST API. All API queries are returned as JSON-LD, a lightweight linked data format, and the metadata is freely reusable under a CC0 public domain license. A front-end portal is currently under development and will be launched in April 2013, though it will serve as but one way into the DPLA’s data. The DPLA encourages the development of applications and tools by developers of all skill levels and backgrounds. In this workshop, participants will actively code against the API to make apps, visualization tools, plug-ins, and other interesting tools that make use of DPLA data.

=== Fail4lib ===
* Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)
* Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)

The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans ("The Pivot"), and failing more cheaply.

Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:

# Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.
# Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:
#* Technical failure
#* Failure to effectively address a real user need
#* Overinvestment
#* Outreach/Promotion failure
#* Design/UX failure
#* Project team communication failure
#* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)
#* Successes gleaned from failures
# A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.
# A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.

I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers. I am happy to be outvoted by participants on any of these points--I just want to get us talking about our screw-ups, blind spots, and anvils dropping from the sky.

=== Solr 4 In Depth ===
* Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)

The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released! It's a really big deal. There are so many improvements, it makes the head spin. This session will cover the major feature improvements from Lucene's flexible indexing and scoring API up through SolrCloud in a digestable half-day format. Sounds like this is an evening thing that might happen at a bar somewhere?

** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced
** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.
** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.
** scollett: sun, drinks, maybe flight.
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 12.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday.
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.
** pgrayove: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements.

=== Flying Trapeze ===
'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD

'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.

Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).

If you're interested in signing up, feel free to add your name and contact info to the list below.

=== Game Night! ===

Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:

We have a conference room at the UIC library reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. Not sure how late we'll play. I'll bring some board games and pick up some cards. List below were people who were interested in games and what games they are bringing.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and curteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

This will get updated more as I have time to spend on it.

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest, could range from party games like Werewolf, Wits & Wagers, Telestrations, Taboo, Apples to Apples to perhaps more strategic games like De Vulgari Eloquentia or Eclipse. Jon Gorman is willing to bring some games, are you? Jon will try to send out an email soon to get some interest.
** yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...
**danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.
**escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.
**jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
** decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)
** csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.
** moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!
** demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.
** sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.
** arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.
** sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)
** dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good.
** smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.
** jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.
** ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?
** save4use: Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set].
** dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.
** mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.
*** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)
** duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...
**librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.
