2013 Lightning Talks Signup

2013-02-13T22:27:15Z

Billdueber:

'''Sign up for Lightning Talks!!'''

Lightning talks are scheduled on all three days of the conference. A lightning talk is a fast-paced 5 minute talk on a topic of your choosing. Sign-ups for lightning talks will open immediately following the first keynote.

Mark Jason Dominus has a nice page [http://perl.plover.com/lt/lightning-talks.html about lightning talks], which includes this summary of why you might want to do one:

''Maybe you've never given a talk before, and you'd like to start small. For a Lightning Talk, you don't need to make slides, and if you do decide to make slides, you only need to make three.''

''Maybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up, at least the painful part will be over quickly.''

''Maybe you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question, or invite people to help you with your project, or boast about something you did, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.''

You might also like Mark Fowler's's [http://www.perl.com/pub/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html Advice for Giving a Lightning Talk].

Have something to add but didn't get a chance to do it in Chicago? Consider signing up to present at the [[Virtual Lightning Talks]] on April 3rd, 2013.

'''LIGHTNING TALK SIGNUPS OPEN AT 10 AM EST ON FEBRUARY 12'''

Those who already have presentation slots, please hold off and give those without slots lightning talk chances, to spread around the opportunity to talk to the conference.

=== Call for Presenters ===
Share what you are working on! We are looking for 20 minute talks, lightning talks, hour long talks, and a lengthier (90 minute) workshop style talk.

Please list your proposed topic below:

*Name, Title, Topic

* Eric Lease Morgan (Digital Projects Librarian, University of Notre Dame) and "[http://zoia.library.nd.edu/sandbox/textmining4libraries/ Text Mining in 'Discovery Systems]'" - This short presentation will describe what text mining is, and then it will demonstrate how text mining can be integrated into library "discovery systems". The goal of the presentation is to increase the awareness of digital humanities computing techniques and to encourage the library profession to embrace them as a way of making collections more useful.

* Peter Schlumpf (Avanti Library Systems) and "Avanti Nova: A Semantic Mapping System" - This presentation will introduce and demonstrate the latest work on Avanti Nova, a semantic mapping software. Nova provides a new and useful way of doing some things. The basic concepts, principles and how it works will be explained, and there will be a demonstration of the software implementing a library catalogue.

* Margaret Kipp (Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee) and "Teaching Linked Data and the Semantic Web to MLIS Students" - This short presentation will report on the scope, coverage and results of teaching a course on linked data in libraries to a group of MLIS students which encouraged them to explore aspects of information organisation through experimenting with library and non-library metadata, semantic web and web 2.0 tools for creating library mashups. One of the goals of the presentation is to start a conversation about what libraries are doing with linked data and the semantic web and how we can incorporate this knowledge into MLIS courses.

* Matthew Reidsma (Web Services Librarian, Grand Valley State University) - "Using jQuery to style hosted library services." Every library struggles to provide some sort of unified experience for its users, despite using hosted solutions for many of its resources. Getting these varied sites designed by countless different vendors to look like part of your library's site can be a challenge. I've found great success in combating the lackluster HTML and CSS of library vendors by using jQuery to make the page I want, rather than the page I have. I'll show some examples of projects I've completed as well as the Open Source projects they have spawned (360Link Reset, hasMedia?). [http://www.matthewreidsma.com/articles/11 Slides available here]

* Rich Wolf (UIC ACCC) - REST Easy: From Web Service to iOS App In this talk, we'll look at how a RESTful service can be turned into a native iOS app by creating a real live sample application, step by step. Along the way, we'll explore Xcode, Apple's IDE for developing iOS apps, Objective-C, and Interface Builder. We'll also look at open source tools, such as Two Toasters RESTKit, that make consuming REST services on an iOS device much simpler to implement.

*Jeremy Prevost (Northwestern, Galter Health Sciences Library) jQuery Mobile.

*Christine McClure (IIT) working with jQuery Mobile (Short and off-the-cuff, since I just heard about this conference last week)

*Bob Sandusky - [DataONE http://www.dataone.org/]

=== Hackfest topics ===

Got a problem that coders can solve? We will set aside time for a hackfest -- post your issues now.

* Anyone interested in taking XTF apart

* What are you doing with usability?

=== Fees ===

There are no fees with the exception of your hotel and travel costs. At least one lunch and one dinner will be provided.

=== Mailing list ===

For better or for worse, Code4Lib "Midwest" has low-traffic [http://groups.google.com/group/code4lib-midwest mailing list/Google group]. Consider subscribing.

=== Summary ===

The Inaugural Code4Lib "Midwest" Regional Meeting (June 11 & 12, 2010 at the University of Notre Dame) was a qualified success.

About twenty-six people attended. (At least that was the number of people who went to lunch.) They came from Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois. Julia Bauder won the prize for coming the furthest distance away — Grinnell, Iowa.

We began with Lightning Talks:

* ePub files by Michael Kreyche
* FRBR and MARC data by Kelly McGrath
* Great Books by Eric Lease Morgan
* jQuery and the OPAC by Ken Irwin
* Notre Dame and the Big Ten by Michael Witt
* Solr & Drupal by Rob Casson
* Subject headings via a Web Service by Michael Kreyche
* Taverna by Rick Johnson and Banu Lakshminarayanan
* VUFind on a hard disk by Julia Bauder

We dined in the University's South Dining Hall, and toured a bit of the campus on the way back taking in the "giant marble", the Architecture Library, and the Dome.

In the afternoon we broke up into smaller groups and discussed things including institutional repositories, mobile devices & interfaces, ePub files, and FRBR. In the evening we enjoyed varieties of North Carolina barbecue, and then retreated to the campus bar (Legend's) for a few beers.

The Code4Lib Challenge was not successful. Us hackers were either to engrossed to notice whether or not anybody came to the event, or nobody showed up to challenge us. Maybe next time.

There were fewer participants on Day #2. We spent the time listening to Ken elaborate on the uses and benefits of jQuery. Eric hacked at something I'm calling "The Great Books Survey".

The event was successful in that it provided plenty of opportunity to discuss shared problems and solutions. A good time was had by all, and it is quite possible the next "Midwest" Regional Meeting will be hosted by the folks in Chicago.

2011 Lightning Talks Signup

2011-02-08T20:00:24Z

Billdueber:

'''Sign up for Lightning Talks Now!!'''

Lightning talks are scheduled on all three days of the conference. A lightning talk is a fast-paced 5 minute talk on a topic of your choosing.

Mark Jason Dominus has a nice page [http://perl.plover.com/lt/lightning-talks.html about lightning talks], which includes this summary of why you might want to do one:

Maybe you've never given a talk before, and you'd like to start small. For a Lightning Talk, you don't need to make slides, and if you do decide to make slides, you only need to make three.

Maybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up, at least the painful part will be over quickly.

Maybe you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question, or invite people to help you with your project, or boast about something you did, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.

You might also like Mark Fowler's's [http://www.perl.com/pub/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html Advice for Giving a Lightning Talk]

Note to presenters: Projector resolution is 1024x768

'''If you signed up for Wednesday or Thursday already, we have your signup preserved and will put the sign-up sheet in place on that day. Folks want to keep signup until the day of, in case there are topics that come up during the conference that someone wants to do for a lightning talk closer to time.'''

== SSH Tunneling to get around blocked ports ==

Ports blocked? Try this:

* On your laptop, execute:
ssh -f -N -L 9999:chat.freenode.net:6667 machine.I.have.rights.on

...where chat.freenode.net:6667 is the machine/port you want to eventually get to, machine.i.have.rights.on is...well, that, and 9999 is an empty port on your local machine.

You'll be prompted for a password if you need one, after which you can put it in the background.

Then you can set up your chat software to talk to localhost:9999 and you're set.

**** [http://greenlee.02909.com/ Shawn Greenlee] - '''Occasions''': ''Occasions produces subtle interactions of synthetic tones mediated by the resonance of space and the reception of the listener. It is a long form, audio-installation utilizing a 12-channel speaker array to project sound in the exhibition space. Each of the twelve speakers produces a unique tone gliding between established frequencies. The twelve speakers are divided into two groups which move asynchronously thus creating a fluctuation in acoustic and psychoacoustic phenomena as the glissandi interact. When listening, what one will notice most obviously are several beating frequencies and difference tones - and that the perception of these is in large part due to where the listener positions herself in relationship to the speakers. The sound of the HVAC will begin to wax and wane as Occasions interferes with its site.''

* Seeing the Sites
** don't miss: top EZ cheap visits that prove you left the hotel at least some duringall of code4lib. Arranged in an order that could be a walking tour. [under construction]
*** RI State House - When built in early 20th century RI was 2nd richest state; now we're tied with Michigan for highest unemployment, and continue to rely on the state motto: "Hope". Still, it remains a majestic space, worth a visit, and so close to code4lib! Give a call-out to the guy on top: the Independent Man.
*** Roger Williams National Memorial - Thank Roger for separation of church & state and freedom of religion; nice video gives the basics of Providence's founding after Massachusetts kicked him out, his unique respect and cooperation with Native Americans, etc. A visit here qualifies you to say "What Cheer, Netop!" with aplomb.
*** Cross Main Street, and walk up Star or Church Street next to the (Episcopal) Cathedral of St. John, to Benefit Street, and turn right for a stroll along "a mile of history" past a variety of 18th and 19th century buildings, a blend of residential and RISD. Notice the old State House, where Rhode Island declared independence in May 1776, two months prior to July 4th.
***First Baptist Church of America. One of those enchanting "colonial" churches, lovely inside and out. Unlike most of the rest of New England, Rhode Islanders didn't build their churches on village greens, lest the clergy keep too close an eye on things.
*** RISD (riz-dee) Museum. With a little bit of everything, this gem serves up art from ancient Egypt to now in easily digestible morsels. Wonderful new addition provides, among other things, an excellent 20th century gallery. Also, don't miss the Buddha. Enter on South Main or Benefit.
***Providence Athenaeum - Helps you remember why you care about libraries. Edgar Allen Poe is said to have had trysts with his sweetie, Helen, here, adding to the charm. Going up College Street, you arrive at Prospect Street, with Brown's John Hay Library to the left and the John D. Rockefeller Library, Jr. Library to the right.
***Lincoln and Lovecraft at the John Hay Library. John Hay was Abe Lincoln's Secretary of State and a Brown alum; give his nose a rub as generations of Brown students have. Currently some very nice Lincoln material is on exhibit on the main floor, and nine display cases of quirky Providence native son H. P. Lovecraft manuscripts and publications are in the Lownes Room. Check out the room devoted to toy soldiers (Anne S. K. Brown Military Collection, 3rd floor) and the Audubon elephant folio in the lobby.
***Brown University central campus. Enter through the Van Wickle gates (that open in for opening convocation, and open out for commencement.) University Hall, the "college edifice" housed French soldiers during the Revolutionary War. The Greek Temple next to it was the second building: a library of course! Now it houses an always-interesting selection of artifacts from the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthrolopology. Walk between these two buildings, and cross the main green; one of the perks for Brown presidents is the right to graze sheep here. Head between the next row of buildings and go down the steps (notice Marcus Aurelius, copied from Rome). This green, Lincoln Field, was the original athletic field. (Aside: Brown was in--and lost--the first Rose Bowl game.) Pass through Soldiers Arch, memorializing Brown men and women who died in military service.
***Thayer Street. The 14-story concrete monolith to your left (a much-maligned example of the brutalist style of the 1970's) is the Sciences Library. Nice view from the upper floors; on the 13th floor look south to see Narragansett Bay. You might want to visit our newish 24-hour Friedman Study Center on the lower level--hugely popular with students. Beyond it, to the north, are several blocks of restaurants and shops, Providence's mini-version of Harvard Square. But go south instead.
***Power Street.
