== Chuck Pell ==

"A confessed 'congenital geek,' Chuck is inventor, artist, scientist and expressive raconteur. As a practitioner of Design Coup d'œil (the habit of seeing overarching structural issues at a glance), Chuck seeks the essential core of any system, whether science, art, or technology. He is most at home in novel situations, figuring things out on the fly. These tendencies have led Chuck to garner experience in surgical robotics, functional morphology, biomechanics, fluid dynamics, miniature robotics, autonomous underwater vehicles, ballistics, maritime communications, entertainment effects, teaching, design (graphic, exhibit and industrial) and filmmaking. Never at rest, he’s had 100 shows of his paintings and sculpture, with dozens of papers published in biology, engineering and patents issued or pending. Having raised millions for research and now on his third startup, Chuck has the nagging suspicion he’s become a serial entrepreneur." (excerpted from [https://www.tedmed.com/speakers/show?id=6472 Chuck's TEDMED bio])

Chuck Pell is a sculptor, roboticist, Emmy-winning television host, and force of nature. His philosophies towards creativity and invention include: uncover hidden assumptions, pursue surprise, and "fail early and often, when it's cheap." His passionate approach to real-world problem solving has a lot to offer the world of GLAM-tech; combined with an avowed love of technology, libraries, and knowledge generally, he is sure to bring a wealth of insight and creativity to the Code4Lib community. Chuck is 1/4 of the way to an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_won_Academy,_Emmy,_Grammy,_and_Tony_Awards EGOT] and is the consulting scientist for an asteroid mining company.

== Kate Deibel ==
Kate Deibel, PhD, is one of the leading advocates for accessibility in the Code4Lib community and libraries in general. Aside from the fun and informative talks and workshops she has given at Code4Lib, she is also known for her activity on Slack and the mailing list where she ardently calls out issues of diversity and inclusion. By challenging the assumptions that we make about accessibility and inclusion and our patrons' experiences with library technology, Kate's work pushes us to be more empathetic, realistic, and creative when we design library systems.

Kate Deibel is currently the Inclusion & Accessibility Librarian at Syracuse University. She earned her PhD in computer science and engineering at the University of Washington in 2011 with a multidisciplinary study of the social and technological factors that hinder adoption of reading technologies among adults with dyslexia, and while working as a web applications specialist at the University of Washington Libraries she focused on ensuring that technologies are effective tools for both library patrons and staff.

== Alison Macrina ==

From LibraryFreedom.org: "Along with founding the Library Freedom Project, Alison is a librarian, internet activist, and a core contributor to The Tor Project. Alison is passionate about fighting surveillance and connecting privacy issues to other struggles for justice. She believes that a world without pervasive surveillance is possible." Library Freedom is a unique, progressive venture in the privacy sphere, putting on training workshops for libraries and librarians as well as advocating for political change.

== Matt Zumwalt ==
Currently the Program Manager at Protocol Labs, Matt is one of the most dedicated technologists who sees our current flaws and has shown a strong track record of helping to push the boundaries of how we store and access digital resources. Matt has given multiple Code4lib presentations previously, one of which being the memorable Code4lib 2017 presentation in the context of endangered data sets. Among many professional interests, currently working on IPFS (Inter-Planetary File System), Matt is helping to engineer a novel method of interacting with ethically distributed, peer-to-peer (P2P) resources, in which libraries are another lender in P2P borrowing chain. Matt is one of the most moving speakers. It would be an honor to have Matt Zumwalt as a keynote speaker.

Borrowing from Matt's webpage: "Previously I founded a consulting firm called MediaShelf, created Ruby libraries called active-fedora and om and served as the technical lead for the Hydra Project, which began as a collaboration with Stanford, Univerisity of Virginia, Univerisity of Hull and DuraSpace but has grown to be a large open-source software initiative with over 40 partner institutions and broad adoption among Libraries, Archives and Museums."

CraigBoman: /* Program Committee */

Hosting a conference is incredibly complex, and it cannot be done without the help of the entire community. If you are interested in being an awesome person and applying your skills to a particular part of the Code4Lib 2020 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (please provide a contact). Each committee must have a Primary Contact (chair), Secondary Contact (co-chair), and Documentarian (secretary). The role of the Documentarian is to transcribe key information to future conference committees, such as timelines, costs, process, etc. Feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees. When adding your name, please indicate 'v' if you are a veteran on the committee so that we ensure committees are not made up entirely of newbies.

We will assign a local contact (LPC) to each committee.

Outline of June 7
Location: Advanced Inquiry Space (AIS), first floor King Library

8 am: Check-in and breakfast
9 am: Welcome and introductory remarks

9:30 am: Scott Williams - Recovering from a failing technology project: Williams will share experience at the Digital Public Library of America with confronting a troublesome project and how they were able move forward in a positive way for all staff members.

[https://osf.io/2jz3c/ Link to Scott Williams presentation slides]

10 am: Break (Whiteboard breakout session ideas)

10:15 am: Peter Murray - Introducing FOLIO, A Platform of Services for Libraries: How nimble is your library automation system? What if your automation system resembled apps on a smartphone -- allowing you to choose apps that meet your needs with the expectation that they will sensibly communicate with each other? FOLIO is a library services platform -- infrastructure that allows cooperating library apps to share data. Librarians, developers, and user experience designers from all over the world are participating in designing and creating this open source effort. The FOLIO project is also an effort to build a sustainable, community-driven collaboration around the creation of a modern technology ecosystem that empowers libraries. Attendees will learn key aspects of the FOLIO project and how the FOLIO platform technology will impact library service offerings. Attendees will also learn how they can participate in the FOLIO community.

11:05 am: Announcements (Tally breakout session preference before lunch)

11:15 am-1 pm: Lunch in Oxford's uptown. (Lunch group sign up sheet).

1:00 pm: Announcements

1:05 pm: Breakout sessions (various rooms in King Library)

2:15 am: Wesley Teal - Alma Enumerator: Experiments in Automating Tedium: What do you do when an ILS migration leaves a ton of your serials information behind? Well, you can fix thousands of item records by hand or you could use a little bit of Python and a lot of trial and error to automate your troubles away. This is the story of taking the second option and tribulations and triumphs involved. Alma Enumerator is a set of Python scripts that use the Alma API to parse free text item description fields and convert them enumeration and chronology data that can be uploaded back into Alma. The presentation will cover the problem that needed to be solved, the design considerations, complications encountered during development, and the highlights and shortcomings of the collection of scripts that became Alma Enumerator.

[https://osf.io/de64h/ Link to Wesley Teal's Alma Enumerator slides]

2:45 pm: Break

3 pm: Tammy Stitz - Making your PDFs universally accessible: One of the largest problems for students who use screen readers is reading PDFs. Even the intellectual content of their courses is easier to understand than trying to figure how to read the PDF. Sometimes PDFs cannot be read and other PDFs are read as blocks of text without an easy way to jump to different sections, which is problematic for long documents in particular. This presentation will discuss the features of an accessible PDFs based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. It will show how to correct some issues using Adobe Acrobat DC when using a few different programs to generate the PDFs.

[https://works.bepress.com/tammy_stitz/8/ Link to Tammy's presentation slides]

3:30 pm: Stephen Cassidy and Jason Michel - Building Discovery Layers: a Modern Approach: In this presentation we will discuss how the Ohio State University Libraries built a discovery layer utilizing existing vendor APIs like sierra and EDS, created custom APIs, and rendered results via the Vue javascript framework. We will discuss all layers of the project: Node.js, Elasticsearch, Vue.js, Lexicon (our custom built API environment), Drupal and more.

9 am: Choose Your Own Adventure: Choose format based on informal survey (voting day before) Hackathon, hands on session, networking, breakout session, lightning talks.

10:30 am: Break

10:45 am: Samuel Hansen - PodcastRE Not Podcatcher: Archiving Podcasts for Research: While there are many solutions to the problem of downloading and storing podcasts, none of them take into account the needs of archivists or researchers. This is only fair as most people, including myself on most days, are just downloading them for entertainment, but as podcasts increase in importance in culture so does the need for preserving them for both posterity and research. This is the goal of PodcastRE, http://podcastre.org, created by Jeremy Morris and Eric Hoyt at UW-Madison. During the evolution of the project which I have been a part of for the past year, from iTunes collection to full blown archive, many unexpected and interesting obstacles have reared up. In this talk I will discuss some of them, particularly the ways podcasts, and their RSS feeds, create challenges to those of us trying to store their contents long term, the new data model we had to create to deal with these challenges, and how we try to deal with the many changes creators can make to the RSS feeds at any given time.

11:15 am: Glen Horton - Mindful Coding: How does writing or reviewing code make you feel? Stressed? Fatigued? Anxious? Things like deadlines, project overload, and work environments can have a big impact on how developers feel when they interact with code. How can developers focus their attention, create better products, and increase their overall well-being all at the same time? Mindful coding. Mindfulness has been used to reduce stress and increase the quality of people's lives and it can be used during development as well. Glen will share the mindful approach he takes to writing and reviewing code at the University of Cincinnati Libraries. Learn how being present in the moment, focusing, and empathizing with users can lead to a better product and actually be therapeutic for the developer.

In this talk I will discuss some of them, particularly the ways podcasts, and their RSS feeds, create challenges to those of us trying to store their contents long term, the new data model we had to create to deal with these challenges, and how we try to deal with the many changes creators can make to the RSS feeds at any given time.

11:15 am: Glen Horton - Mindful Coding: How does writing or reviewing code make you feel? Stressed? Fatigued? Anxious? Things like deadlines, project overload, and work environments can have a big impact on how developers feel when they interact with code. How can developers focus their attention, create better products, and increase their overall well-being all at the same time? Mindful coding. Mindfulness has been used to reduce stress and increase the quality of people's lives and it can be used during development as well. Glen will share the mindful approach he takes to writing and reviewing code at the University of Cincinnati Libraries. Learn how being present in the moment, focusing, and empathizing with users can lead to a better product and actually be therapeutic for the developer.

[https://osf.io/2jz3c/ Link to Scott Williams presentation slides]

10 am: Break (Whiteboard breakout session ideas)

10:15 am: Peter Murray - Introducing FOLIO, A Platform of Services for Libraries: How nimble is your library automation system? What if your automation system resembled apps on a smartphone -- allowing you to choose apps that meet your needs with the expectation that they will sensibly communicate with each other? FOLIO is a library services platform -- infrastructure that allows cooperating library apps to share data. Librarians, developers, and user experience designers from all over the world are participating in designing and creating this open source effort. The FOLIO project is also an effort to build a sustainable, community-driven collaboration around the creation of a modern technology ecosystem that empowers libraries. Attendees will learn key aspects of the FOLIO project and how the FOLIO platform technology will impact library service offerings. Attendees will also learn how they can participate in the FOLIO community.

11:05 am: Announcements (Tally breakout session preference before lunch)

11:15 am-1 pm: Lunch in Oxford's uptown. (Lunch group sign up sheet).

1:00 pm: Announcements

1:05 pm: Breakout sessions (various rooms in King Library)

2:15 am: Wesley Teal - Alma Enumerator: Experiments in Automating Tedium: What do you do when an ILS migration leaves a ton of your serials information behind? Well, you can fix thousands of item records by hand or you could use a little bit of Python and a lot of trial and error to automate your troubles away. This is the story of taking the second option and tribulations and triumphs involved. Alma Enumerator is a set of Python scripts that use the Alma API to parse free text item description fields and convert them enumeration and chronology data that can be uploaded back into Alma. The presentation will cover the problem that needed to be solved, the design considerations, complications encountered during development, and the highlights and shortcomings of the collection of scripts that became Alma Enumerator.

2:45 pm: Break

3 pm: Tammy Stitz - Making your PDFs universally accessible: One of the largest problems for students who use screen readers is reading PDFs. Even the intellectual content of their courses is easier to understand than trying to figure how to read the PDF. Sometimes PDFs cannot be read and other PDFs are read as blocks of text without an easy way to jump to different sections, which is problematic for long documents in particular. This presentation will discuss the features of an accessible PDFs based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. It will show how to correct some issues using Adobe Acrobat DC when using a few different programs to generate the PDFs.
[https://works.bepress.com/tammy_stitz/8/ Link to Tammy's presentation slides]

3:30 pm: Stephen Cassidy and Jason Michel - Building Discovery Layers: a Modern Approach: In this presentation we will discuss how the Ohio State University Libraries built a discovery layer utilizing existing vendor APIs like sierra and EDS, created custom APIs, and rendered results via the Vue javascript framework. We will discuss all layers of the project: Node.js, Elasticsearch, Vue.js, Lexicon (our custom built API environment), Drupal and more.

10:45 am: Samuel Hansen - PodcastRE Not Podcatcher: Archiving Podcasts for Research: While there are many solutions to the problem of downloading and storing podcasts, none of them take into account the needs of archivists or researchers. This is only fair as most people, including myself on most days, are just downloading them for entertainment, but as podcasts increase in importance in culture so does the need for preserving them for both posterity and research. This is the goal of PodcastRE, http://podcastre.org, created by Jeremy Morris and Eric Hoyt at UW-Madison.

It will show how to correct some issues using Adobe Acrobat DC when using a few different programs to generate the PDFs.

Location: Advanced Inquiry Space (AIS), first floor King Library

8-9 am: Breakfast

9 am: Choose Your Own Adventure: Choose format based on informal survey (voting day before) Hackathon, hands on session, networking, breakout session, lightning talks.

10:30 am: Break

10:45 am: Samuel Hansen - PodcastRE Not Podcatcher: Archiving Podcasts for Research: While there are many solutions to the problem of downloading and storing podcasts, none of them take into account the needs of archivists or researchers. This is only fair as most people, including myself on most days, are just downloading them for entertainment, but as podcasts increase in importance in culture so does the need for preserving them for both posterity and research. This is the goal of PodcastRE, http://podcastre.org, created by Jeremy Morris and Eric Hoyt at UW-Madison. During the evolution of the project which I have been a part of for the past year, from iTunes collection to full blown archive, many unexpected and interesting obstacles have reared up. In this talk I will discuss some of them, particularly the ways podcasts, and their RSS feeds, create challenges to those of us trying to store their contents long term, the new data model we had to create to deal with these challenges, and how we try to deal with the many changes creators can make to the RSS feeds at any given time.

11:15 am: Glen Horton - Mindful Coding: How does writing or reviewing code make you feel? Stressed? Fatigued? Anxious? Things like deadlines, project overload, and work environments can have a big impact on how developers feel when they interact with code. How can developers focus their attention, create better products, and increase their overall well-being all at the same time? Mindful coding. Mindfulness has been used to reduce stress and increase the quality of people's lives and it can be used during development as well. Glen will share the mindful approach he takes to writing and reviewing code at the University of Cincinnati Libraries. Learn how being present in the moment, focusing, and empathizing with users can lead to a better product and actually be therapeutic for the developer.

Outline of June 7
Location: Advanced Inquiry Space (AIS), first floor King Library

8 am: Check-in and breakfast
9 am: Welcome and introductory remarks

9:30 am: Scott Williams - Recovering from a failing technology project: Williams will share experience at the Digital Public Library of America with confronting a troublesome project and how they were able move forward in a positive way for all staff members.

10 am: Break (Whiteboard breakout session ideas)

10:15 am: Peter Murray - Introducing FOLIO, A Platform of Services for Libraries: How nimble is your library automation system? What if your automation system resembled apps on a smartphone -- allowing you to choose apps that meet your needs with the expectation that they will sensibly communicate with each other? FOLIO is a library services platform -- infrastructure that allows cooperating library apps to share data. Librarians, developers, and user experience designers from all over the world are participating in designing and creating this open source effort. The FOLIO project is also an effort to build a sustainable, community-driven collaboration around the creation of a modern technology ecosystem that empowers libraries. Attendees will learn key aspects of the FOLIO project and how the FOLIO platform technology will impact library service offerings. Attendees will also learn how they can participate in the FOLIO community.

11:05 am: Announcements (Tally breakout session preference before lunch)

11:15 am-1 pm: Lunch in Oxford's uptown. (Lunch group sign up sheet).

1:00 pm: Announcements

1:05 pm: Breakout sessions (various rooms in King Library)

2:15 am: Wesley Teal - Alma Enumerator: Experiments in Automating Tedium: What do you do when an ILS migration leaves a ton of your serials information behind? Well, you can fix thousands of item records by hand or you could use a little bit of Python and a lot of trial and error to automate your troubles away. This is the story of taking the second option and tribulations and triumphs involved. Alma Enumerator is a set of Python scripts that use the Alma API to parse free text item description fields and convert them enumeration and chronology data that can be uploaded back into Alma. The presentation will cover the problem that needed to be solved, the design considerations, complications encountered during development, and the highlights and shortcomings of the collection of scripts that became Alma Enumerator.

2:45 pm: Break

3 pm: Tammy Stitz - Making your PDFs universally accessible: One of the largest problems for students who use screen readers is reading PDFs. Even the intellectual content of their courses is easier to understand than trying to figure how to read the PDF. Sometimes PDFs cannot be read and other PDFs are read as blocks of text without an easy way to jump to different sections, which is problematic for long documents in particular. This presentation will discuss the features of an accessible PDFs based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

2:15 am: Wesley Teal - Alma Enumerator: Experiments in Automating Tedium: What do you do when an ILS migration leaves a ton of your serials information behind? Well, you can fix thousands of item records by hand or you could use a little bit of Python and a lot of trial and error to automate your troubles away. This is the story of taking the second option and tribulations and triumphs involved. Alma Enumerator is a set of Python scripts that use the Alma API to parse free text item description fields and convert them enumeration and chronology data that can be uploaded back into Alma. The presentation will cover the problem that needed to be solved, the design considerations, complications encountered during development, and the highlights and shortcomings of the collection of scripts that became Alma Enumerator.

2:45 pm: Break

3 pm: Tammy Stitz - Making your PDFs universally accessible: One of the largest problems for students who use screen readers is reading PDFs. Even the intellectual content of their courses is easier to understand than trying to figure how to read the PDF. Sometimes PDFs cannot be read and other PDFs are read as blocks of text without an easy way to jump to different sections, which is problematic for long documents in particular. This presentation will discuss the features of an accessible PDFs based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. It will show how to correct some issues using Adobe Acrobat DC when using a few different programs to generate the PDFs.

3:30 pm: Stephen Cassidy and Jason Michel - Building Discovery Layers: a Modern Approach: In this presentation we will discuss how the Ohio State University Libraries built a discovery layer utilizing existing vendor APIs like sierra and EDS, created custom APIs, and rendered results via the Vue javascript framework. We will discuss all layers of the project: Node.js, Elasticsearch, Vue.js, Lexicon (our custom built API environment), Drupal and more.

4 pm: Lightning talks and day closing announcements

5-7 pm: Dinner in Oxford's uptown

7-9 pm: Game night at King Library.

10:30 am: Break

10:45 am: Samuel Hansen - PodcastRE Not Podcatcher: Archiving Podcasts for Research: While there are many solutions to the problem of downloading and storing podcasts, none of them take into account the needs of archivists or researchers. This is only fair as most people, including myself on most days, are just downloading them for entertainment, but as podcasts increase in importance in culture so does the need for preserving them for both posterity and research. This is the goal of PodcastRE, http://podcastre.org, created by Jeremy Morris and Eric Hoyt at UW-Madison. During the evolution of the project which I have been a part of for the past year, from iTunes collection to full blown archive, many unexpected and interesting obstacles have reared up. In this talk I will discuss some of them, particularly the ways podcasts, and their RSS feeds, create challenges to those of us trying to store their contents long term, the new data model we had to create to deal with these challenges, and how we try to deal with the many changes creators can make to the RSS feeds at any given time.

11:15 am: Glen Horton - Mindful Coding: How does writing or reviewing code make you feel? Stressed? Fatigued? Anxious? Things like deadlines, project overload, and work environments can have a big impact on how developers feel when they interact with code. How can developers focus their attention, create better products, and increase their overall well-being all at the same time? Mindful coding. Mindfulness has been used to reduce stress and increase the quality of people's lives and it can be used during development as well. Glen will share the mindful approach he takes to writing and reviewing code at the University of Cincinnati Libraries. Learn how being present in the moment, focusing, and empathizing with users can lead to a better product and actually be therapeutic for the developer.

CraigBoman: me

= Code4Lib 2019 Conference Committees =

Hosting a conference is incredibly complex, and it cannot be done without the help of the entire community. If you are interested in being an awesome person and applying your skills to a particular part of the Code4Lib 2019 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (please provide a contact). Each committee must have a Primary Contact (chair), Secondary Contact (co-chair), and Documentarian (secretary). The role of the Documentarian is to transcribe key information to future conference committees, such as timelines, costs, process, etc. Feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees. When adding your name, please indicate 'v' if you are a veteran on the committee so that we ensure committees are not made up entirely of newbies.

We will assign a local contact (LPC) to each committee.

== Location and Dates ==

* Location: Bay Area, California (more info coming soon)
* Dates: we're looking at February-April, 2019
** Pre-conferences: Coming Soon
** Main meeting: Coming Soon
** Post conference activities: Coming Soon

== Local Planning Committee ==
This committee is charged with running the show such as overall timeline, budgeting, coordinating of locations and logistics, wrangler of committees, and communicating with the community.

== Terry Brady ==
Terry Brady is a software developer in Seattle working for the Georgetown University Library. Terry is the lead developer for DigitalGeorgetown. Terry is a committer for the DSpace repository platform. Terry has built applications for higher education, government, non-profit, and corporate institutions including LexisNexis and the National Archives and Records Administration--including the amazingly handy File-Analyzer. Strengthening communities is a passion of Terry's: he regularly participates in the DSpace Community Advisory Team meetings, and initiated the recent DSpace Users Group meeting hosted by Georgetown University in August of 2017. Terry does what all developers do, he writes code enthusiastically, and many times for no personal advantage, merely because it's work that needs doing, or is an interesting challenge. His work inspires that same approach in others; his observations on the work we all do will be equally inspiring.

== Chris Bourg ==

Chris Bourg is the Director of Libraries at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she also has oversight of the MIT Press. Prior to assuming her role at MIT, Chris worked for 12 years in the Stanford University Libraries, most recently as the Associate University Librarian for Public Services.

Chris is keenly interested in issues of diversity and inclusion in higher education; and in the role libraries play in advancing social justice and democracy. She is currently serving as Chair of the Committee on Diversity and Inclusion of the Association of Research Libraries and has written and spoken extensively on diversity, inclusion, and leadership.

==David Brunton==
David Brunton was hired is the Chief of Repository Development at the Library of Congress. In his time here, David has contributed to a number of important group efforts at LC, including: electronic Copyright Deposit, the Twitter archive, the National Digital Newspaper Program, digitization workflow, and more recently, crowdsourcing. David's first library job and his first coding job were both during his undergraduate years in the mid-nineties, and he has been doing one, the other, and both ever since. David is a fun and engaging speaker.

== Abby Covert ==
Abby Covert is currently the Information Architect for Etsy, and is a co-founder and advisor for World IA Day. She authored the book Making Sense of Any Mess which is a wonderfully written and clear explanation of IA. The book also made it clear to me how much about IA is already familiar to librarians (taxonomies, organizing, making things clear), but Abby presents it in a new light. She has given talks on making things clear, language, IA, and collaboration. I think her ideas would both challenge and reinforce librarian beliefs a about organization and presentation, and I imagine that she would be able to tailor her presentation to the librarian/ library web audience.

Kate Deibel is the Inclusion & Accessibility Librarian at Syracuse University. An ardent advocate for usable and accessible technologies, her work focuses on disciplinarity, technology adoption, comics, and disability. Kate earned her PhD in computer science and engineering at the University of Washington in 2011 with a multidisciplinary study of the social and technological factors that hinder adoption of reading technologies among adults with dyslexia, and while working as a web applications specialist at the University of Washington Libraries she focused on ensuring that technologies are effective tools for both library patrons and staff. By challenging the assumptions that we make about accessibility and our patrons' experiences with library technology, Kate's work pushes us to be more empathetic, realistic, and creative when we design library systems.

Keynote Committee Duties

2017-10-06T15:27:44Z

CraigBoman: not always applicable

Details for Code4Lib Conference Keynote Committee members.

==Timeline==

'''Note:''' we need approximate dates for all of these steps.

* Cultivate nominations from Code4Lib community on the wiki
* Contact nominees to confirm their willingness & availability (see '''[[Keynote Committee Duties#Initial_Nominee_Contact|Initial Nominee Contact]]''')
* Ensure all nominees have comparative & sufficient bios
* Add available nominees & their bios to Diebold-o-Tron, schedule the voting to run two weeks
* Announce voting on the listserv
* Send follow-up notices one week & a three-couple days before voting closes
* Close voting & contact the top two nominees (see '''[[Keynote Committee Duties#Successful_Nomination_Follow-up|Successful Nomination Follow-up]]''')
* If one or both nominees are unable or unwilling to speak, move down the voting list in order
* Once two keynotes have been confirmed
** notify the Conference Planning Committee
** list on the conference website
** notify the speakers who were nominated but ultimately not selected (see '''[[Keynote Committee Duties#Unsuccessful_Nomination_Follow-up|Unsuccessful Nomination Follow-up]]''')
** & notify the community

==Keynote Speaker Logistics==

===Before keynotes are selected===

The committee should determine a few things before contacting keynote speakers. Most of these will involve communicating with the main Conference Planning Committee or the host institution.

* '''conference registration''' - historically, there's been a special registration code for keynote speakers that allows them to register without charge. Obtain this code from the Conference Planning Committee.
* '''hotel logistics''' - confirm that a room has been reserved for the keynote speakers or, if not, ensure that speakers will have a chance to purchase rooms ''before hotel information is released to the general public'' since the hotel block often fills quickly
* '''about reimbursement policies and procedures''' - what expenses are reimburseable (in particular policies vary on alcohol)? Do they get reimbursements or a per diem for conference expenses? What paperwork do they need to submit and to whom? If floating all these expenses presents a hardship, is there a way to have someone else handle them up front?
* '''contracts & taxes''' - does the host institution have a standard speaking contract which must be used? do they require that the speaker send a W9 form and if so to whom is it sent?

===When they agree to speak or shortly after===

Keynote speakers need to know:

* '''all reimbursement policies''' - everything that was learned above, basically. Keynotes might purchase their own hotel and travel arrangements and later be reimbursed. If so, they must be informed of any restrictions or preferred carriers, regional airports, travel classes (e.g. business, first, coach), etc…
* '''that their talk will be livestreamed''' - this is not obvious to non-code4libbers
* '''the length of their talk & any limitations/restrictions''' - talks have traditionally been 40 minutes with 5 reserved for questions

Speakers may provide their own speaking contract and/or host institutions may have a standard. If the host's standard contract has non-OA-friendly terms on intellectual property, be prepared to help the speaker negotiate those as many code4libby speakers will care. A W9 may be required.

===A few weeks before the event===

Keynoter Speakers will need information on:

* travel between the venue and the airport (particularly if the committee will be providing this travel, i.e. will anyone be meeting you at the airport and if so where)
* A/V setup (what computer is at the podium, can they plug their own in, what dongles will they need, do you provide dongles, is there wifi/podium internet, are there speakers if they want to play video - many venues have PCs and do not provide Mac dongles; speakers may have their own but committee would be well-advised to bring some)
* event hashtag and other social media (remember non-code4lib speakers are probably unfamiliar with the IRC channel, @code4lib, etc.)
* is there anywhere it might be good for them to upload their slides
* who will be introducing them and what information that person needs

Many speakers will appreciate receiving their check at the event, but will not be surprised to get it in the mail later. If you'll be sending it after, provide a time frame, and don't make them have to send follow-up emails to get it.

==Email Templates==

These are provided merely as convenient suggestions and need not be followed exactly. Still, the general content should be the same. We would be remiss to neglect mentioning the Code of Conduct, for instance.

Sections in Mustache-style double curly braces should be replaced with the appropriate information. '''Don't forget to replace them!''' You'd feel silly sending someone a template.

===Initial Nominee Contact===

Strengthening communities is a passion of Terry's: he regularly participates in the DSpace Community Advisory Team meetings, and initiated the recent DSpace Users Group meeting hosted by Georgetown University in August of 2017. Terry does what all developers do, he writes code enthusiastically, and many times for no personal advantage, merely because it's work that needs doing, or is an interesting challenge. His work inspires that same approach in others; his observations on the work we all do will be equally inspiring.
