<br />
=== What's it all about? ===<br />
<br />
It's a 2-day unconference - a participant-driven meeting bringing together a diverse and open community of library developers and non-developers engaging in effective, collaborative problem-solving through technology regardless of their department or background.<br />
<br />
The event will feature lightning talks, breakout sessions, with coffee, tea and snacks provided. Lightning talks are brief presentations which are typically 10-15 minutes in length on topics related to library technologies. Breakout sessions are an opportunity to bring participants together in an ad hoc fashion for a short, yet sustained period of problem solving, software development and fun. If there is a neat project you're been working on, a cool new tool you want to show off, or an interesting development in the world of library technology that you want to discuss, Code4Lib BC is a great opportunity to share with the community!<br />
<br />
'''What's included''': wifi, power, coffee/snacks, lunches, limited transportation from downtown Nanaimo to VIU campus.<br />
<br />
'''What's NOT included/what to bring''': a laptop, dinner, your ideas and enthusiasm.<br />
<br />
'''Hashtag''': #c4lbc<br />
<br />
'''Code of Conduct''': As a Code4Lib event, we adhere to the [http://bit.ly/coc4lib Code4Lib Code of Conduct], which seeks to provide a welcoming, harassment-free environment.<br />
<br />

== '''Fifth Annual Code4lib BC Unconference 2017''' ==<br />
<br />
'''Save the dates!'''<br />
* Thursday, 30 November and Friday, 1 December, 2017<br />
<br />
This year's C4LBC will be held in Nanaimo, BC, and jointly hosted by the University of Vancouver Island and Vancouver Island Regional Library. The Thursday events will be held in downtown Nanaimo at VIRL's Harbourfront Branch. Friday's activities will be held the the VIU campus. This year's organisers are trying hard to make everything as easy as possible for mainlanders travelling to the island, so stay tuned for details on transportation, accommodations, and much more.<br />
<br />
Registration details to follow.<br />
<br />
=== What's it all about? ===<br />
<br />
It's a 2-day unconference - a participant-driven meeting bringing together a diverse and open community of library developers and non-developers engaging in effective, collaborative problem-solving through technology regardless of their department or background.<br />
<br />
The event will feature lightning talks, breakout sessions, with coffee, tea and snacks provided. Lightning talks are brief presentations which are typically 10-15 minutes in length on topics related to library technologies. Breakout sessions are an opportunity to bring participants together in an ad hoc fashion for a short, yet sustained period of problem solving, software development and fun. If there is a neat project you're been working on, a cool new tool you want to show off, or an interesting development in the world of library technology that you want to discuss, Code4Lib BC is a great opportunity to share with the community!<br />
<br />
'''What's included''': wifi, power, coffee/snacks, lunches, limited transportation from downtown Nanaimo to VIU campus.<br />
<br />
'''What's NOT included/what to bring''': a laptop, dinner, your ideas and enthusiasm.<br />
<br />
'''Hashtag''': #c4lbc<br />
<br />
'''Code of Conduct''': As a Code4Lib event, we adhere to the [http://bit.ly/coc4lib Code4Lib Code of Conduct], which seeks to provide a welcoming, harassment-free environment.<br />
<br />
