== Asheville Brews Cruise ==

"Experience a taste of Asheville’s thriving local beer scene with an exclusive tour of three of our award-winning microbreweries." - http://www.brewscruise.com/asheville/

A big shout out to [http://www.talis.com Talis] for stepping up and sponsoring a portion of this event. Our first stop on the cruise will be a brewery slash pizza joint and Talis has generously offered to pay for our pizza. Yay!

==== Itinerary ====

# Pickup from the hotel is tentatively scheduled for 6:15pm. Those who haven't pre-paid should try to get there a little early.
# Stop #1 will be the Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co. where we will sample 16-20 different beers and consume our delicious, alcohol-absorbing, [http://www.talis.com Talis]-sponsored pizza.
# Stop #2 will be Highland Brewing Company, "Asheville's 1st and largest brewing company"
# Stop #3 will be the French Broad Brewery which "specializes in a variety of European style beers."
# Expected return to the hotel is around 9:30-10pm

==== Cost & Payment ====

The cost for the cruise is $40 per person. You have two options for paying:

# Pay in advance by sending me $40 via [http://paypal.com PayPal].
# Bring $40 with you on the night of the cruise. I've been told they have a hand-held credit card machine for the cash-strapped.

Anyone who wants to can pay via PayPal, but I need at least 16 people to choose this option because the tour company wants to pre-bill my credit card for a minimum of 16 guests. There should be no fees involved if the money comes from your PayPal account or an associated bank account. The deadline for paying in advance is EOD Sunday, February 21st.

# Go to [http://paypal.com PayPal]
# Click on "Send Money"
# Enter lbjay@reallywow.com in the "To" field
# Enter your own address in the "From" field (unless you're logged in)
# Click the "Personal" tab and choose "Payment owed" from the options
# Click "Continue"
# On the next page you can specify a message Subject of "Brews Cruise"

==== Signup ====

== 12 Bones BBQ Dinner Excursion ==
(was a lunch excursion)

[http://www.12bones.com/ 12 Bones BBQ] is widely considered the best BBQ in Asheville [[http://www.yelp.com/biz/12-bones-smokehouse-asheville *]]. However it is only open from 11-4, M-F. We would like to organize a group so that we can rent out the place on Wednesday night. If we get at least 50 people, it will be doable.

'''When:''' Wednesday, February 24th

'''Time:''' Cash Bar: 6:00pm
Dinner: 6:30pm

'''Where:''' 5 Riverside Drive Asheville NC, 28801
*[http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=31+Woodfin+Street,+Asheville,+NC+28801+(Renaissance+Asheville+Hotel)&daddr=5+Riverside+Drive,+Asheville,+NC+28801-3134&geocode=FbUsHwIdtWIU-yF_M0r573W8WykTXk8JWPNZiDEFKzEaZpTYaQ%3BFQ36HgIdayEU-w&gl=us&hl=en&mra=cc&sll=35.592378,-82.556462&sspn=0.016053,0.038581&ie=UTF8&z=15 Driving Directions] (5 minutes)
*[http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=31+Woodfin+Street,+Asheville,+NC+28801+(Renaissance+Asheville+Hotel)&daddr=5+Riverside+Drive,+Asheville,+NC+28801-3134&geocode=FbUsHwIdtWIU-yF_M0r573W8WykTXk8JWPNZiDEFKzEaZpTYaQ%3BFQ36HgIdayEU-w&gl=us&hl=en&mra=cc&dirflg=w&sll=35.592378,-82.556462&sspn=0.016053,0.038581&ie=UTF8&z=15 Walking Directions] (30 minutes / 1.7 miles)
*Cabbing Directions: If you all would like to organize into cabs, I would suggest meeting in the lobby of the hotel between 5:45pm and 6:00pm and figuring things out from there. While I would normally love to help out with 80 people taking cabs (insert sarcasm here), I'll probably already be at the venue. A couple of cab companies I found are:
**New Blue Bird Taxi Company - (828) 258-8331
**Checker Cab Service - (828) 254-1155

'''Menu:'''
This will be buffet style. So bring your appetite.
*Pulled Pork
*Chopped Beef Brisket
*Corn Bread
*Buns
*Mashed Sweet Taters
*Sweet Vinegar Coleslaw
*Collard Greens (contains meat)
*Fountain Drinks/Sweet Tea/Unsweetened Tea

== Werewolf! ==
It wouldn't be a tech conference unless we got together one evening to turn into a gang of murdering beasts and hyper-suspicious victims. Facilitated by the one and only mbklein.

* When: Wednesday evening
* Time: 8 PM
* Where: TBA. Watch this space.

=== About Werewolf ===

Werewolf (also known as Mafia) is a parlor game that has become [http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2010/03/features/werewolf.aspx the obsession of techie conferences everywhere]. At it's most basic, it's a game of information asymmetry -- a battle between an uninformed majority (the townspeople) and an informed minority (the werewolves who live and hunt among them). At its best, it's an off-the-wall paranoid screaming match. There are dozens of variations -- we'll start with the basics, and depending on everyone's stamina and desire to keep playing, save the tricky stuff for later. Hopefully by the end of the evening all the participants will be jibbering, jumpy, sleep-deprived lunatics incapable of trusting even their closest friends.

In other words, ''good times.''

== Rideshare Info ==

Several people have made vague but curious noises about trying to share transportation to and from Asheville. This page will attempt to organize the details relevant to help attendees make appropriate travel/transportation plans.

Each table below represents a group of attendees with relatively common transportation needs. Feel free to combine/split/add tables to suit different needs. The columns should be self-explanatory, with '''Driving?''' indicating that you're willing/able to share the driving (even if it's someone else's car/rental), and '''Van?''' indicating whether you would be interested in taking one of the App. State vans (if it were to make a couple runs to the airport).

How to hack code4lib

2009-11-18T06:38:33Z

Declan:

by Declan Fleming, Director of IT, UCSD Libraries (BigD in channel)

Budget willing, this year will be my third code4lib, one of my favorite conferences ever. I remember what it was like to be new and wondered if I could write a short piece that would help new people to the community get as much out of the conference as I do.

=== Hop into the #code4lib IRC channel and listen for a while ===

The conference back channel on IRC is the most invaluable tool available to help you quickly get the feel for the conference and the people attending. Most technical people have the attention span of a gnat at times, and the channel helps keep a conversation flowing when the presentations get slow. Be warned that the level of discourse on the channel is very similar to how a group of friends would be talking around a table full of drinks. The topics range from in jokes about bacon and sad facial hair to esoteric explorations of the RDF expression of specific pieces of metadata. The channel is also very useful for seeing where groups are going for lunch or dinner.

=== Listen 90% of the time / Talk 10% of the time ===

code4lib is jammed with characters who are passionate about some aspect of our profession. Ask a question or two then sit back and bask in the output. Don't worry, you'll have the chance to talk about what you are working on when your companion stops to drink beer.

=== If you don't have a lot to share, at least be funny ===

My dirty little non-secret is that I love code4lib but I'm not a programmer, or even a sysadmin anymore. I'm a manager of these type of folks and I love hearing what's new. I often don't have much to offer in terms of pythons or rubies, but most people can appreciate a sense of humor.

=== Don't be sexist/racist/*ist ===

It's great to be funny, maybe even a little blue at times, but be careful about steering into areas that make segments of the world uncomfortable, or even feel attacked. We are in a very interesting niche of the technology world. Our librarian population is primarily female, but our technical aspects of librarianship tend to be more stereotypically white and male. We have a wonderful opportunity to attract and promote equality in our field and there's no reason to make an underrepresented group feel unwanted just to get a couple laughs.

One group that gets beat up on a lot is vendors. There's a healthy debate that comes and goes in the channel about whether it's good to have a place to vent, or if making vendors the butt of jokes limits their interaction in the community. One of the great strengths of the channel is that the norms are constantly in flux and openly discussed and debated.

=== Don't be too sensitive ===

Of course, political correctness can sway too far to the conservative, and what fun is that? Don't always assume that the jibe you took in the channel is meant personally. It is usually safest to always give the speaker the benefit of the doubt. So many non-verbal cues are missing in this medium, it is just a virtual conversation after all.

=== Be willing to laugh at yourself ===

I've found that making fun of myself is a safe outlet for being bitingly clever. And once you've shown people that you don't mind being a target, they'll let their hair down and pick on you too. Besides, why not beat everyone to the punch.

=== Don't be intimidated by what looks like the "in crowd" ===

There is no in crowd. There are people who jump in and participate - both to the conversation and the ongoing work involved in promoting and supporting code4lib. You'll see them as the center of things until you actually get involved - a little at first to learn the social norms of the group, then more and more until you realize that new people are seeing you as part of the in crowd. Now your job is to make the new people feel included.

=== Share your passion about any one thing ===

I never thought I'd stick around in libraries that long. I'm an IT professional, not a librarian. But I tell ya, being in this crowd for very long infects you with the depth and longevity of the problems that need to be addressed. Supporting a profession that has such a long tradition, and helping to bring it into the present and future is more satisfying than I ever thought possible. I have a passion for linked data and making things talk to other things in easy ways. I've shared this a few times in bar conversations and formal talks. Nothing got people talking to me more than this.

=== Be ready to learn new stuff ===

Listen to others' passions and see if any of it strikes a chord in you. There are times when I'm listening to a talk, or in channel, and I'll just make word lists of things I've never heard of. Later, I'll start Googling around and end up a little smarter.

=== Expect 80% of the value of the conference to come from things other than the presentations ===

I used to feel mightily guilty about spending university money to sit in a presentation and feel like I got nothing from it. Adding the IRC back channel to my stream of awareness either helps me ping the crowd for more depth on the presentation, or helps me see that others are struggling as much as I am. Admittedly, the channel can be quite distracting, but if you let go and get all Zen and let it flow over and through you, you'll be surprised how much you come away with!

=== Take a sip from the firehose ===

Code4lib has a [http://code4lib.org blog] to stuff in your feed reader. But if you want to see what's going on in code4lib check out the [http://planet.code4lib.org planet] aggregator of blogs from code4lib folks. If you have a blog and want it listed there ask jrochkind in [irc://freenode.net/code4lib irc]. You can also follow [http://twitter.com/code4lib code4lib on twitter], or consider following code4lib twitter users via code4lib lists from [http://twitter.com/eby/lists/code4lib eby] or [http://twitter.com/mjgiarlo/lists/code4lib mjgiarlo]. There is also a [http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=134499 LinkedIn] group you can join for more "professional" networking.
