===Accommodations===
There isn't a huge selection of places downtown to stay. Top choice is probably: [http://www.holidayinn.com/hotels/us/en/st-catharines/ycmsa/hoteldetail Holiday Inn Ontario Street] You might also want to stay on [http://www.brocku.ca/conference-services/individual/overnight-guests Brock Campus] If there is enough interest we'll try to arrange a carpool from campus/hotel to the downtown branch.

Note from Alison Hitchens: FYI, individual accommodation at Brock is $110+HST total for 2 nights compared to Holiday Inn starting at $144+tax per night.

===Parking===
There are several lots downtown that you might want to use.

[https://mapsengine.google.com/map/u/0/viewer?mid=zpbrI3xaKt6c.kbjRBa3atzHA Parking Lots]

Best option is the '''Garden Park / Carlisle Street Garage'''

Hourly Rate: $1.50 
Maximum Rate: $12

'''Central Library Parking Lot''' is also $1.50/hour but is limited to 3 hour maximum (enforced).

===Chips and Pop===

=== hackfest ideas :: feel free to add to the list ===
*twitter bot war with code4lib The Great Eastern? http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/GreatEastern
*changing Odessi XML records to MARC XML so OCUL libraries can load MARC for Odessi, esp. Stats Can stuff. We started this project at TUG, so need someone to help me get further or finish! New note: Chris put what he did so far on [https://github.com/lib-uoguelph-ca/ddi2marc-xml github](Alison)
*[http://twitter.com/CanadianPoetry @CanadianPoetry] Sprint: [http://library.utoronto.ca/canpoetry Canadian Poetry Online] needs an overhaul! Canadian Poetry is a web anthology of contemporary Canadian poetry, providing biographies and full-text poems from Canada's leading poets. Join in this [http://drupal.org/node/247982 code sprint] to help with the migration to Drupal, site building, development, and theming of the new version. (Andrew)
*[http://www.jasongriffey.net/librarybox/ LibraryBox] is a customized version of PirateBox that can run be run on the inexpensive TP-Link MR 3020. Currently, it acts as a simple file server but it could potentially offer a more library-focused service, such as [https://twitter.com/#!/djfiander/status/184315493157576704 an eBook server for nearby devices using OPDS]. (Warren)
* [http://evergreen-ils.org/ Evergreen]: The Evergreen project is currently recruiting volunteers for the Google Summer of Code effort and has [http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:summer_of_coding_ideas#project_ideas a list of project ideas]. Some of these ideas, if not already claimed by a student GSoC participant, might make for interesting hackfest projects. Or we could rewrite the MARC editor in Dojo.
* [https://github.com/wdenton/splurge/ SPLURGE]: The Scholars Portal Library Usage-Based Recommendation Engine began at a hackfest in February and has been worked on since then, but it needs one last push to get all of the pieces joined together so that an easy-to-use "people who borrowed this also borrowed that" service built on shared circ data can be tested. There are four parts to SPLURGE: data cleanup, getting it into a properly configured database, a web service that talks to the database, some Javascript that can dropped into a catalogue to talk to the web service. They all exist, but not all of them are quite done and they don't all talk to each other. The purpose of this hackfest project would be for people to familiarize themselves with the work that's been done, and then try to finish it up.

There are four parts to SPLURGE: data cleanup, getting it into a properly configured database, a web service that talks to the database, some Javascript that can dropped into a catalogue to talk to the web service. They all exist, but not all of them are quite done and they don't all talk to each other. The purpose of this hackfest project would be for people to familiarize themselves with the work that's been done, and then try to finish it up.

There are no bed and breakfasts in the immediate area but the [http://www.bbcanada.com/ontario/southwestern_ontario/windsor Argyle and Olde Walkerville Bed and Breakfasts] are a bus ride away.

=== Social Events ===

There's nothing formal planned but on Wednesday and Thursday nights, we'll try to informally coordinate places to have supper together.
 

I suggest that those around on Wednesday night meet up at the [http://www.rockbottom.ca/ Rock Bottom Grill] at 3236 Sandwich Street, Windsor. It will busy because it's "2 for 1 Wing Night" but it should be worth it.

 
For those who love experimental film, there is the [http://mediacityfilmfestival.com/films-and-schedule-2012/ Media City Film Festival] taking place in Windsor and Detroit. Jason Scott aka textfiles will be speaking at the [http://www.aadl.org/events/list?id=14190 Ann Arbor Public Library] on Wednesday night
 

=== Food ===
We will be providing lunch and snacks. (please email organizers if you have a dietary restriction - we will be ordering vegetarian options but we want to make sure we have enough!)
 
Generally folks informally gather for supper.
 
Here are some of our nearby options:

* [https://github.com/wdenton/splurge/ SPLURGE]: The Scholars Portal Library Usage-Based Recommendation Engine began at a hackfest in February and has been worked on since then, but it needs one last push to get all of the pieces joined together so that an easy-to-use "people who borrowed this also borrowed that" service built on shared circ data can be tested. There are four parts to SPLURGE: data cleanup, getting it into a properly configured database, a web service that talks to the database, some Javascript that can dropped into a catalogue to talk to the web service. They all exist, but not all of them are quite done and they don't all talk to each other. The purpose of this hackfest project would be for people to familiarize themselves with the work that's been done, and then try to finish it up.

CatelynneSahadath:

Welcome to the home of the new Ontario/Canada chapter of [http://code4lib.org/ Code4Lib]. Our aim is to create more opportunities for Code4Lib folks in the Ontario/Quebec/Manitoba/Northeast USA area to meet up in person.

==Mailing list==

Want to participate in Code4Lib North meetups and receive "North"-oriented Code4Lib announcements? Join the code4lib mailing list. (The code4lib-north mailing list was discontinued.)

==Code4lib North Meetups in Toronto==

'''Purpose:''' To connect with other code4libbers in the area and start building a code4lib community in Toronto, Ontario. (blatantly copied from the Ottawa group) 

'''Meetup Group:''' [http://meetup.com/code4libtoronto/ code4lib toronto]

===Past Meetups===

The inaugural code4lib Ottawa meetup occurred on March 28, 2012 and was a simple meet-and-greet at a local pub. Since then, we try to combine this social event with some short interesting talks. Here is what we have learned about in recent meetups:

'''Tuesday October 7th, 2014'''

Speakers:

* Mark Baker - Principal Architect at Zepheira provided a brief overview of some of Zepheira’s BibFrame tools in development.

* Jennifer Whitney - Systems Librarian at MacOdrum Library presented OpenRefine (formerly Google Refine) – a neat and powerful tool for cleaning up messy data.

* Sarah Simpkin, GIS and Geography Librarian & Catherine McGoveran, Government Information Librarian (both from UOttawa Library) - presented on a recent UOttawa sponsored Open Data Hackfest as well as to introduce you to Open Data Ottawa.

'''Location:''' MacOdrum Library, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, ON, Ottawa, ON ([https://www.google.ca/maps/place/1125+Colonel+By+Dr,+Carleton+University,+Ottawa,+ON+K1S+5R1/@45.3835317,-75.6975174,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cce067662eae8cf:0x9cd8d41fd34473d1 map])

There are four parts to SPLURGE: data cleanup, getting it into a properly configured database, a web service that talks to the database, some Javascript that can dropped into a catalogue to talk to the web service. They all exist, but not all of them are quite done and they don't all talk to each other. The purpose of this hackfest project would be for people to familiarize themselves with the work that's been done, and then try to finish it up.

* [https://github.com/wdenton/splurge/ SPLURGE]: The Scholars Portal Library Usage-Based Recommendation Engine began at a hackfest in February and has been worked on since then, but it needs one last push to get all of the pieces joined together so that an easy-to-use "people who borrowed this also borrowed that" service built on shared circ data can be tested. There are four parts to SPLURGE: data cleanup, getting it into a properly configured database, a web service that talks to the database, some Javascript that can dropped into a catalogue to talk to the web service. They all exist, but not all of them are quite done and they don't all talk to each other. The purpose of this hackfest project would be for people to familiarize themselves with the work that's been done, and then try to finish it up.

* Additional facilitators welcome; Especially if you have CodeRetreat experience.

"Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design.
By providing developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice, away from the pressures of 'getting things done', the coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of skill improvement.
Practicing the basic principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time." [http://coderetreat.org/about About Code Retreat]

* Justin Simpson, Artefactual Systems, jsimpson@artefactual.com
* Chris Fitzpatrick, ArchivesSpace, chris.fitzpatrick@lyrasis.org
* Alexandra Chassanoff, BitCurator Access, bitcurator@gmail.com

What does it mean to Code for Archives? Is it different than coding for libraries, and if so, how?

Code4Lib is a wonderful and successful model (you must agree or you wouldn't be reading this). This workshop is an attempt to create a space to replicate the model in an Archival context. A space to talk about development for archives, and the particular challenges of developing archival systems. Topics to discuss include Integration between different Archival software tools, and between Archival tools/workflows and larger institutional tools like institutional repositories, discovery and access systems.

The schedule may include the following:
* Panel type conversations about the State of Art in Archives
* Case Studies - discussion of workflows at specific institutions, including gaps in tools and how those are being addressed or could be addressed
* Tool Demos - access to demos of some of the open source tools used in an Archival Context (examples include ArchivesSpace, Archivematica, BitCurator, AtoM)

Artefactual will provide demos running Archivematica and AtoM, Lyrasis will do so for ArchivesSpace, BitCurator will for BitCurator. We encourage others to chime in here to expand the list of tools available to touch and play with.

When signing up, please indicate if you are an end-user or a developer.

Full day, Parlor C
* code4lib wrangler: Becky Yoose, yoosebec at grinnell dot edu
* Write the Docs contacts: TBA

'''Event page where you can find the latest information and... documentation(!) at [http://wiki.code4lib.org/Code4lib/Write_The_Docs_barcamp]'''

Documentation. We all know that we need it for things we develop, but most of us either keep putting it off or write documentation that is not maintained, clear, concise, and so on. We're all guilty! So what's stopping us from doing better docs? Luckily, Portland is also the home to the NA Write the Docs conference, and is home for many folks who live and breathe documentation. This barcamp is open to both code4lib and non-code4lib conference attendees and is intended to provide a space where code4libbers can find practices and tools in creating better documentation for all as well as documentation wonks can find out ways in which the library wonks can help with better documentation access and organization.

Remember, like metadata, documentation is a love note to the future.

More information about Write the Docs at http://conf.writethedocs.org/ There will be a nominal fee (t/b/d) for non-Code4LibCon attendees (subject to organizer approval).

==== Fail4Lib 2015 ====
Afternoon, Galleria I
* Andreas Orphanides, akorphan (at) ncsu.edu
* Jason Casden, jmcasden (at) ncsu.edu

Failure. Failure never changes. Since failure is an inescapable part of our professional work, it's important to be familiar with it, to acknowledge it, and to grow from it -- and, in contravention to longstanding tradition, to accept it as a fact of development life. At Fail4Lib, we'll talk about our own experiences with projects gone wrong, explore some famous design failures in the real world, and talk about how we can come to terms with the reality of failure, to make it part of our creative process -- rather than something to be shunned. Let's train ourselves to understand and embrace failure, encourage enlightened risk-taking, and seek out opportunities to fail and learn. This way, when we do what we do -- and fail at what we do -- we'll do so with grace and without fear.

This year's preconference will include new case studies and an improved discussion format. Repeat customers are welcome! (Fail early, fail often.)

The schedule may include the following:
* Case studies. Avoid our own mistakes by bearing witness to the failures of others.
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Let's learn from our own (and each others') failures.
* Group therapy. Vent about your own experiences in a judgment-free setting. Explore how we can make our organizations less risk-averse and more failure-tolerant.

====Replace yourself with a painfully complex bash script...or try Ansible====
Morning, Galleria III
* Chad Nelson, chad dot nelson @ lyrasis dot org
* Blake Carver, Blake dot carver @lyrasis dot org

[http://www.ansible.com Ansible] is an open source automation and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_management configuration management] tool that focuses on simplicity to help make your life as a developer, or a sysadmin, or even a full on devops-er, easier. This workshop will cover the basic building blocks used in Ansible as well as some best practices for maintaining your Ansible code. We will start by working through a simple example together, and then participants will be given time to work on their own projects with instructors providing guidance and troubleshooting along the way. By the end of the session, participants will have a working knowledge of Ansible and be able to write a working [http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks.html playbook] to meet local needs.

====Visualizing Library Data====
Morning, Grand Ballroom II
* Matt Miller, matthewmiller@nypl.org, New York Public Library, NYPL Labs

Visualizing your institution’s data can give new insight about your holding’s strengths, weaknesses and outliers. They can also provide potential new avenues for discovery and access. This half day session will focus on programmatically visualizing library metadata. Emphasis will be on creating web-based visualizations utilizing libraries such as d3.js but attention paid towards visualizing large datasets while keeping them web accessible. By then end of the session participants will have template, sample code and methodologies enabling them to start producing visualization with their own data.

====Code Retreat====
Full Day, Parlor B
* Jeremy Friesen, University of Notre Dame, jfriesen at nd dot edu
* Additional facilitators welcome; Especially if you have CodeRetreat experience.

"Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design.
By providing developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice, away from the pressures of 'getting things done', the coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of skill improvement.
Practicing the basic principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time." [http://coderetreat.org/about About Code Retreat]

* Justin Simpson, Artefactual Systems, jsimpson@artefactual.com
* Chris Fitzpatrick, ArchivesSpace, chris.fitzpatrick@lyrasis.org
* Alexandra Chassanoff, BitCurator Access, bitcurator@gmail.com

What does it mean to Code for Archives? Is it different than coding for libraries, and if so, how?

Code4Lib is a wonderful and successful model (you must agree or you wouldn't be reading this). This workshop is an attempt to create a space to replicate the model in an Archival context. A space to talk about development for archives, and the particular challenges of developing archival systems. Topics to discuss include Integration between different Archival software tools, and between Archival tools/workflows and larger institutional tools like institutional repositories, discovery and access systems.

The schedule may include the following:
* Panel type conversations about the State of Art in Archives
* Case Studies - discussion of workflows at specific institutions, including gaps in tools and how those are being addressed or could be addressed
* Tool Demos - access to demos of some of the open source tools used in an Archival Context (examples include ArchivesSpace, Archivematica, BitCurator, AtoM)

Artefactual will provide demos running Archivematica and AtoM, Lyrasis will do so for ArchivesSpace, BitCurator will for BitCurator. We encourage others to chime in here to expand the list of tools available to touch and play with.

When signing up, please indicate if you are an end-user or a developer.

Full day, Parlor C
* code4lib wrangler: Becky Yoose, yoosebec at grinnell dot edu
* Write the Docs contacts: TBA

'''Event page where you can find the latest information and... documentation(!) at [http://wiki.code4lib.org/Code4lib/Write_The_Docs_barcamp]'''

Documentation. We all know that we need it for things we develop, but most of us either keep putting it off or write documentation that is not maintained, clear, concise, and so on. We're all guilty! So what's stopping us from doing better docs? Luckily, Portland is also the home to the NA Write the Docs conference, and is home for many folks who live and breathe documentation. This barcamp is open to both code4lib and non-code4lib conference attendees and is intended to provide a space where code4libbers can find practices and tools in creating better documentation for all as well as documentation wonks can find out ways in which the library wonks can help with better documentation access and organization.

Remember, like metadata, documentation is a love note to the future.

More information about Write the Docs at http://conf.writethedocs.org/ There will be a nominal fee (t/b/d) for non-Code4LibCon attendees (subject to organizer approval).

==== Fail4Lib 2015 ====
Afternoon, Galleria I
* Andreas Orphanides, akorphan (at) ncsu.edu
* Jason Casden, jmcasden (at) ncsu.edu

Failure. Failure never changes. Since failure is an inescapable part of our professional work, it's important to be familiar with it, to acknowledge it, and to grow from it -- and, in contravention to longstanding tradition, to accept it as a fact of development life. At Fail4Lib, we'll talk about our own experiences with projects gone wrong, explore some famous design failures in the real world, and talk about how we can come to terms with the reality of failure, to make it part of our creative process -- rather than something to be shunned. Let's train ourselves to understand and embrace failure, encourage enlightened risk-taking, and seek out opportunities to fail and learn. This way, when we do what we do -- and fail at what we do -- we'll do so with grace and without fear.

This year's preconference will include new case studies and an improved discussion format. Repeat customers are welcome! (Fail early, fail often.)

The schedule may include the following:
* Case studies. Avoid our own mistakes by bearing witness to the failures of others.
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Let's learn from our own (and each others') failures.
* Group therapy. Vent about your own experiences in a judgment-free setting. Explore how we can make our organizations less risk-averse and more failure-tolerant.
