Ideas for 2013

2012-02-09T19:19:23Z

Dlovins: /* Other ideas */

=Code4Lib 2013 ideas=

===Schedule===
# Keep Super Bowl Sunday free
# Avoid snow and bitter cold!
# no breakout reports - many feel they are unnecessary
# explicitly state that presentation with (most/least) votes will be on day 3, since so many people plan to leave early -- could affect their planning.
===Social Schedule===
# Newcomer welcome on first night?
# Beer party needs a big enough space
# Have a reception in a museum or library, if possible
# Maybe some evening groups for music, shows, etc.

==Food==

# If you do the preconferences in the main conference space (vs. in spread-out off-site spots), many people will expect breakfast or at least regular coffee/tea/soft-drink breaks throughout the day (so have them?)
# Is it possible to get a hot breakfast with/instead of continental?
# Consider Vegetarians / Vegans
# Decent lunch menu - not taco or spaghetti :-)
# Automated Testing
# Two words: Soft pretzels.

(Note: some attendees really like tacos and/or spaghetti, and think these are excellent lunch choices. YMMV.)

==Registration==
* Use EventBrite--it's worth the admin money for the ease of use, and the reports that can be generated
* Choose talks before registration

==T-shirts==
* Men's and ladies sizes -- can it be done?
* 100% cotton is worth it.
* How about blind submissions to tee shirt vote? I.e., submitter name not associated with submissions during voting.
** How about going blind from some t-shirt submissions? ;-)

==Suggestions from dchuds talk==

* less complacency from overall committee--less burden on local org committee
* Advisory committee - made up of representatives from past hosts
* Programming committee - don't have voting on talks
* do work in the open
* build on experience from past conferences
* code4lib multicore
* multi-track conference
* support 500 people
* make it more like PyCon

==Other ideas==
* more regional c4l (but drop the "regional" suffix)
* keep voting on programming!!!
* Name tags should have irc handle as well as name; code{4}lib can be smaller; IRC handle and Name and Institution should be readable at a glance.
* Announce scholarship winners the first day so that folks have a chance to meet them
* microphones for audience
* sign on podium "repeat the question"
* mc tells each presenter how to use the mic effectively
* Have one projection screen above or beside speaker so possible to view speaker and slides at the same time.

2012 Craft Brew Drinkup

2012-02-03T14:27:57Z

Dlovins: /* Sign up */

'''Wednesday, February 8, after 9 PM, in hospitality suite'''

The Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib 2012 is all about sharing and enjoying good beer with fellow conference attendees. The idea is to bring bottles of your favorite beers.

While you're not obligated to bring ''local beers'' from whereever you're from, participants are definitely encouraged to bring beer that you think is special and might be somewhat hard for others outside your area to find. Homebrew is especially welcome. Sign up below with your name, where you're from, and list a few brews or bottles you're thinking about (but not necessarily committing to) bringing along. You can also request that people bring specific beer if you so desire, but don't necessarily expect that your wishes will be granted.

''If you do not check bags or otherwise cannot arrange to bring beer from where you call home, you may be interested in buying beer from a local beer store. See the "Buying Beer in Seattle" section below for suggestions.''

* Unnamed persons from the Keystone State: Sly Fox, any special Weyerbacher - anarchivist
* anyone: Boulevard smokestack series - danwho

=== Buying Beer in Seattle ===

from an email to the code4lib list:

: I can think of three good bottleshops (all w/ taps in case you want a growler) that are located on bus lines from downtown:
:
: * [http://bottleworksbeerstore.blogspot.com/ Bottleworks]: Probably the shop I frequent the most. Take the 16 to Wallingford.
: * [http://www.lastdropbeershop.com/ Last Drop]: Take the 71,72, or 73 north from downtown and get off at 80th.
: * [http://www.seattlebeerauthority.com/ Beer Authority]: probably the quickest trip from downtown on the 522. get off at the 125th St stop in Lake City and walk north a couple of blocks.
: * Lots of other pub/beer places noted on [http://g.co/maps/4m5pk the map]

=== Disclaimers ===

* This is an unofficial event organized by attendees of Code4lib 2012.
* All guests at the Drinkup must be 21 years of age or over with a [http://www.cherylslastcall.com/pdfs/Acceptable-ID-Forms.pdf valid form of ID].
* Any participation in the Drinkup is at your own risk.
* All guests are expected to drink responsibly and behave appropriately.

=== Packing and Shipping Beer ===

If you're flying to Code4lib, you will have to consider how to bring your beer. Some attendees in past years have packed beer in their checked luggage, and others have purchased a beer shipper that was checked separately as luggage. In any event, '''you will not be able to bring beer in carryon luggage.'''

2012 preconference proposals

2012-01-13T22:47:00Z

Dlovins: /* Interest in Attending */

=Proposals for 2012 Code4LibCon Preconferences=
Proposals closed Sunday, November 20, 2011, so we can finalize the list and add them to registration! (The deadline for preconference proposals has passed.)

Spaces available: main meeting room (max 275) + 5 breakout rooms (max 30-50).

'''Please include a "Contact/Responsible Individual" name and email address so we know who is willing to put on the proposed precon.
'''
==Full Day==

=== Hacking Content ===

What is the future of getting library information and resources into users’ hands at the right time and with appropriate context and relevancy. Learning management systems, library guides, Web-scale discovery systems-plenty of tools to choose from and still we see lots of opportunities for improvement. Let’s pick them apart and brainstorm ideas for projects that could address weaknesses in one or all of these systems. If you’re interested in these issues, challenges and conundrums join us for a day of thinking, dreaming and scheming. All skill sets and backgrounds needed.

Speakers/Facilitators will be:
- Thom Cox - Manager of Library Information Technology Services - Tufts University
- Ken Varnum – Web Systems Manager - University of Michigan Libraries
- Evviva Weinraub – Director, Emerging Technologies and Services - Oregon State University Libraries

Contact: Margaret Mellinger - margaret dot mellinger at oregonstate dot edu

=== Developing applications using REST web services ===

Been hearing about web services but don’t know where to start to build something? Have you built applications that use read services but are stumped by OAuth, Content Negotiation and HTTP Headers? Come dig in and learn how to build applications that interact with both read and write REST services. We’ll cover the basic principles and practices of REST services and discuss the Atom Publishing Protocol as a REST service and its extensibility. The group will examine and test the CouchDB HTTP API by building a simple list creation tool. You’ll learn how OCLC’s platform web services leverage Atom to expose the data and business processes from OCLC’s library systems. By the end of the session, you’ll know the basic principles of REST services, be able to perform Create, Read, Update and Delete operations via REST and be able to authenticate to REST services via API keys and OAuth.

Come ready to learn and code!

==Half Day Morning==

=== Linkfest ===

We've had talks and sessions galore about Linked Data at code4lib in past years. Let's focus on linking. Bring data you want to publish and link to or link from and your ideas about new ways we can push data linking into being part of our regular approach to how we put our libraries' content and services on the web. At the start of the session we'll run a quick poll to see who wants to link to what and how, and we'll pair or group up and get to work from there. May a kajillion links bloom!

If you need an "intro to linked data" we can prep a good list of readings/talks to review before you come. But please come ready to link!

=== Git -r done ===

A session to cover all things Git, everyone's favorite distributed version control system. This session should cover a little bit of the history of Git, how it works, and how it's different than other version controls systems like SVN. Practical application should also be covered, including how to clone existing repos and contribute code back to them, how to host your own repository, and best practices for setting up a distributed network.

Looking for attendees with real-life Git experience to share it, so we can all broaden our understanding of possible use-cases and nifty advanced features.

=== Blacklight ===

This session will be walk-through of the architecture of Blacklight and what we have been improving since the rails 3 upgrade. In addition to the architecture of the software, we will also briefly discuss the architecture of the Blacklight community and what has made it successful so far.

For part of the session we will install Blacklight live and get it up and running. This install demo will include a How-To on basic customizations in Blacklight using a test-driven approach (one of the cornerstones of the Blacklight community).

For more information about Blacklight see our wiki ( http://projectblacklight.org/ ) and our GitHub repo ( https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight ). We will also send out some brief instructions beforehand for those that would like to setup their environments to follow along and get Blacklight up and running on their local machines.

=== [[Digging into metadata: context, code, and collaboration]] ===

Working with library/archival metadata is difficult. This preconference will tackle pressing questions and will show some of the intricacies of metadata (including AACR2/MARC) with exercises to demonstrate why inconsistencies exist in the data. What steps can the cataloging & metadata community take to help improve the quality of this data? What tools & techniques could help? Rules have evolved over time leaving dirty legacy data. Systems have impacted--and will continue to impact--data structure & design. How can this data be aggregated and refined for use in a new emerging data environments? What assumptions can safely be made and when do you need to inquire about local practice? We will end with a hack-fest where you can ask questions of experienced catalogers and get help with your metadata related problems. Bring your laptops and data.

This session will explore, we hope collaboratively, the presentation of objects on maps. There will be a section on workflow, a section on discovering objects via "geobrowse," a section discovery of objects via "geosearch," and an exploration of the discovery and presentation of geo-referenced images (e.g. historic maps). There will be open discussion on other approaches to map-based discovery. Emphasis will be placed on simplicity of workflow and implementation. Technologies include: Atom, Django, Solr, and OpenLayers.

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

# 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]

== 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)

*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).

2010 Nominations list

2009-07-27T20:54:18Z

Dlovins: /* Andy Lester */

Nominations for invited speakers for Code4Lib 2010. Alphabetical order. Not yet complete

== Mitchell Baker ==

"Chair of the Mozilla Foundation is an excellent speaker, and perhaps a more modern evangelist for open source and a gimmick-free web."

== Patrick Ball ==

"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Ball] is director of the Human Rights Data Analysis Group [http://www.hrdag.org/] and lead on Martus (which is FLOSS) [http://www.martus.org/].

"I've never heard him talk but I admire the project, which is about gathering and analyzing enormous amounts of data and making it accessible and understandable to make the world a better place, like we do---except they do it about torture and human rights violations.

"Here's a video of him leading a panel at Berkeley recently: http://fora.tv/2009/05/04/Human_Rights_Databases_Data_Sharing_and_Data_Security

"Benetech HRDAG develops database software, data collection strategies, and statistical techniques to measure human rights atrocities. Our technology and analysis is used by truth commissions, international criminal tribunals, and non-governmental human rights organizations around the world. Our analysis identifies the trends and patterns which is the evidence of crimes of policy. "

"Martus is a secure information management tool that allows you to create a searchable and encrypted database and back this data up remotely to your choice of publicly available servers. The Martus software is used by organizations around the world to protect sensitive information and shield the identity of victims or witnesses who provide testimony on human rights abuses. Martus is the Greek word for witness."

== Stephen Downes ==

"[http://www.downes.ca/] a great speaker and works with the Canadian National Research Council. He would definitely bring a more teaching and learning perspective to his talk."

"I've also seen Stephen talk and he offers a nice blend of tech, metadata, and end-user perspective."

== Paul Jones ==

"Paul Jones, the director of ibiblio.org. He's a poet, teaches at a journalism school and a library school, he's a part of internet and open source history (how many of you downloaded your first linux distro from sunsite.unc.edu?) and he's a fantastic public speaker. Here's an extract from his website (http://www.ibiblio.org/pjones/): "Although often mistaken for other unreconstructed relics of the failed social policies of the Sixties, Paul Jones is the Director of ibiblio.org, a project that includes the Site Formerly Known as MetaLab and SunSITE, The Public's Library -- a large contributor-run digital library. Besides speaking at several conferences world-wide, Paul teaches on the faculties of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Information and Library Science. He can be found many places on the Internet. He was the original manager of SunSITE.unc.edu, one of the first WWW sites in North America and is co-author of The Web Server Book (Ventana, 1995) (rereleased as The Unix Web Server Book, Second Edition Ventana, 1997). Jones has an additional on-going research interest in Open Source and Sharing Communities and Information policy issues as well as being an actively publishing poet. Paul is the editor of the Internet Poetry Archives, published with UNC Press. Paul is a founding board member of the American Open Technology Consortium, a member of the Board of Trustees of Chapel Hill Public Library, and a board member of the Linux Documentation Project. But he is most pleased to have been admitted into the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists and to have been selected in April 2003 as Best Geek in the Research Triangle by the Independent Weekly. "

"I've known Paul for years, although unfortunately my interactions with him in recent years have been few. In addition to the bio below, he's funny and his sense of humor gains an additional kick by being delivered in a Southern drawl. <hyperbole>I'd run over kids in strollers to hear him speak.</hyperbole>"

== Penny Leach ==

"2009 Google Open Source Award winner in the "Best Education Hacker" category, and a contributor to both Moodle and Mahara. From her blog: "This is a website about me. I am just this girl, who works on open source web based education stuff, and drinks too much."

== Andy Lester ==

* author of ack "a grep replacement" and itinerant speaker on "Technical Debt" and employment in the tech world. He's a Perl guru working in the publishing indsutry. Andy's "Technical Debt" lecture would be a good fit, IMO, for the code4lib group.

* Technical Debt Talk: http://www.media-landscape.com/yapc/2006-06-26.AndyLester/

* Employment Stuff: http://theworkinggeek.com/

* He spoke at OSCON year on a couple of topics: http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/speaker/6552

* find him at twitter at: http://twitter.com/PetDance

* "Andy has another connection of interest to Code4Lib - he wrote the MARC::Record Perl module."

== Joe Lucia ==

* "He is a Library Director [at Villanova] who fully supports Open Source software and speaks on it from time to time. He was the keynote speaker at the recent Evergreen conference."

== Clifford Lynch ==

== Cathy Marshall ==

* "Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research. She's working in personal digital archiving and personal information management.I've been really impressed with two of her recent projects: a talk at ASIST '08 about myths of digital archiving [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/cathymar/asist-marshall.pdf] and her JCDL 2009 paper "No bull, No spin" [http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=80591] ,which examined zillions of flickr photos of a particular tourist attraction to understand how they used tags. Despite being a serious researcher, Cathy is very down-to-earth (check her twitter feed http://twitter.com/ccmarshall or her older and sometimes bizarre hypertext art). I think she'd be a great keynoter for Code4Lib.

* Her homepages: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/cathymar/ http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/~marshall/

== Peter Morville ==

* "most commonly known as the author of 'Ambient Findability', and co-author of 'Information Architecture for the World Wide Web'. He's president and founder of [http://www.semanticstudios.com Semantic Studios ] [1], teacher at UMich, and blogger at [http://findability.org findability.org].

== Randall Munroe ==
* "programmer/math geek/xkcd creator/all-around genius. His Authors@Google talk was pretty entertaining, and he seems like the kind of guy who would put some effort into surprising and engaging the crowd he's talking to."

== Jeff Patterson ==

* CEO of Safari Books

* Safari Books is the online host of the O'Reilly Book series. Jeff is a very down-to-earth guy but is also 'geeky' enough to work with this crowd.

* BIO: http://www.safaribooksonline.com/Corporate/Company/boardDirectors.php: "Jeff Patterson joined Safari Books Online from CMP Technology LLC, where he served in a number of senior executive positions over nine years. His most recent position was president of the Business Technology Group that included leading IT media brands such as InformationWeek, TechWeb and the Web 2.0 Conference. Prior to CMP, he co-founded Beacon Technology Partners LLC, a market research firm specializing in measuring IT audience behavior and attitudes, and held management positions in media, manufacturing and advertising companies including Cahners Publishing Company (now Reed Business Information); National Semiconductor; Foote, Cone & Belding/San Francisco; Raychem Corporation; and Pinne, Garvin & Hock/San Francisco. Jeff earned his B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley."

== Tim O'Reilly ==

* Founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media

* "We can dream, can't we? In case you don't see the connection, he is the CEO of O'Reilly, home of the technology series of books named after him and author of radar.oreilly.com. I've tried to get him for a keynote for a conference and he accepted but the conference decided to go another route so I know he will consider keynotes for technology crowds."

* BIO: http://oreilly.com/oreilly/tim_bio.html: "Tim O'Reilly is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, thought by many to be the best computer book publisher in the world. The company also publishes online through the O'Reilly Network and hosts conferences on technology topics. Tim is an activist for open source, open standards, and sensible intellectual property laws. Since 1978, Tim has led the company's pursuit of its core goal: to be a catalyst for technology change by capturing and transmitting the knowledge of "alpha geeks" and other innovators. His active engagement with technology communities drives both the company's product development and its marketing. Tim has built a culture where advocacy, meme-making, and evangelism are key tenets of the business philosophy."

== Mark Pilgrim ==

* He knows (real world, not necessarily library) standards about as well as anyone and advocates strongly for what's simple and practical (check out his work on Atom and HTML5), but he's also an advocate for doing what's right even when it's not necessarily easy (http://diveintoaccessibility.org/)

* He's updating Dive Into Python (http://diveintopython3.org/)

* He's funny, writes well, and seems to be articulate in person (based on his short-lived video log)

* He lives in NC

* His mother was a librarian (http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/06/02/more_on_social_networks)

== Daniel Pitti ==

"[http://iath.virginia.edu/~dvp4c] - formerly an authority control librarian, now a co-director for University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities. He's been the chief technical architect for EAD and EAC (Encoded Archival Context), a companion data model thats much more machine-oriented and linked data-friendly. He's also worked on some really great, innovative digital humanities projects.."

== Richard Stallman ==

"he has repeatedly expressed an interest in attending; he apparently wants to tell us the real/ true meaning of free and open source software."

== Jon Udell ==

On his podcast series, he's frequently featured people doing interesting library technology projects. He thinks and writes a lot about computational thinking, about splicing things on the web, and the pub-sub model.

http://blog.jonudell.net/

== Joan Frye Williams ==

"She's not a developer-type, but Joan Frye Williams has a lot of insights that she might be willing to turn towards the issues C4L discusses. They might not be what we want to hear, but sometimes that's a good thing."

2010 Nominations list

2009-07-27T20:41:45Z

Dlovins: /* Jonathan Zittrain */

Nominations for invited speakers for Code4Lib 2010. Alphabetical order. Not yet complete

== Mitchell Baker ==

"Chair of the Mozilla Foundation is an excellent speaker, and perhaps a more modern evangelist for open source and a gimmick-free web."

== Patrick Ball ==

"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Ball] is director of the Human Rights Data Analysis Group [http://www.hrdag.org/] and lead on Martus (which is FLOSS) [http://www.martus.org/].

"I've never heard him talk but I admire the project, which is about gathering and analyzing enormous amounts of data and making it accessible and understandable to make the world a better place, like we do---except they do it about torture and human rights violations.

"Here's a video of him leading a panel at Berkeley recently: http://fora.tv/2009/05/04/Human_Rights_Databases_Data_Sharing_and_Data_Security

"Benetech HRDAG develops database software, data collection strategies, and statistical techniques to measure human rights atrocities. Our technology and analysis is used by truth commissions, international criminal tribunals, and non-governmental human rights organizations around the world. Our analysis identifies the trends and patterns which is the evidence of crimes of policy. "

"Martus is a secure information management tool that allows you to create a searchable and encrypted database and back this data up remotely to your choice of publicly available servers. The Martus software is used by organizations around the world to protect sensitive information and shield the identity of victims or witnesses who provide testimony on human rights abuses. Martus is the Greek word for witness."

== Stephen Downes ==

"[http://www.downes.ca/] a great speaker and works with the Canadian National Research Council. He would definitely bring a more teaching and learning perspective to his talk."

"I've also seen Stephen talk and he offers a nice blend of tech, metadata, and end-user perspective."

== Paul Jones ==

"Paul Jones, the director of ibiblio.org. He's a poet, teaches at a journalism school and a library school, he's a part of internet and open source history (how many of you downloaded your first linux distro from sunsite.unc.edu?) and he's a fantastic public speaker. Here's an extract from his website (http://www.ibiblio.org/pjones/): "Although often mistaken for other unreconstructed relics of the failed social policies of the Sixties, Paul Jones is the Director of ibiblio.org, a project that includes the Site Formerly Known as MetaLab and SunSITE, The Public's Library -- a large contributor-run digital library. Besides speaking at several conferences world-wide, Paul teaches on the faculties of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Information and Library Science. He can be found many places on the Internet. He was the original manager of SunSITE.unc.edu, one of the first WWW sites in North America and is co-author of The Web Server Book (Ventana, 1995) (rereleased as The Unix Web Server Book, Second Edition Ventana, 1997). Jones has an additional on-going research interest in Open Source and Sharing Communities and Information policy issues as well as being an actively publishing poet. Paul is the editor of the Internet Poetry Archives, published with UNC Press. Paul is a founding board member of the American Open Technology Consortium, a member of the Board of Trustees of Chapel Hill Public Library, and a board member of the Linux Documentation Project. But he is most pleased to have been admitted into the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists and to have been selected in April 2003 as Best Geek in the Research Triangle by the Independent Weekly. "

"I've known Paul for years, although unfortunately my interactions with him in recent years have been few. In addition to the bio below, he's funny and his sense of humor gains an additional kick by being delivered in a Southern drawl. <hyperbole>I'd run over kids in strollers to hear him speak.</hyperbole>"

== Penny Leach ==

"2009 Google Open Source Award winner in the "Best Education Hacker" category, and a contributor to both Moodle and Mahara. From her blog: "This is a website about me. I am just this girl, who works on open source web based education stuff, and drinks too much."

== Andy Lester ==

author of ack "a grep replacement" and itinerant speaker on "Technical Debt" and employment in the tech world. He's a Perl guru working in the publishing indsutry. Andy's "Technical Debt" lecture would be a good fit, IMO, for the code4lib group.

Despite being a serious researcher, Cathy is very down-to-earth (check her twitter feed http://twitter.com/ccmarshall or her older and sometimes bizarre hypertext art). I think she'd be a great keynoter for Code4Lib.

* Founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media

I've tried to get him for a keynote for a conference and he accepted but the conference decided to go another route so I know he will consider keynotes for technology crowds."

* BIO: http://oreilly.com/oreilly/tim_bio.html: "Tim O'Reilly is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, thought by many to be the best computer book publisher in the world. The company also publishes online through the O'Reilly Network and hosts conferences on technology topics. Tim is an activist for open source, open standards, and sensible intellectual property laws.

2010 Nominations list

2009-07-27T20:38:29Z

Dlovins: /* Cathy Marshall */

Nominations for invited speakers for Code4Lib 2010. Alphabetical order. Not yet complete

== Mitchell Baker ==

"Chair of the Mozilla Foundation is an excellent speaker, and perhaps a more modern evangelist for open source and a gimmick-free web."

== Patrick Ball ==

"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Ball] is director of the Human Rights Data Analysis Group [http://www.hrdag.org/] and lead on Martus (which is FLOSS) [http://www.martus.org/].

"I've never heard him talk but I admire the project, which is about gathering and analyzing enormous amounts of data and making it accessible and understandable to make the world a better place, like we do---except they do it about torture and human rights violations.

"Here's a video of him leading a panel at Berkeley recently: http://fora.tv/2009/05/04/Human_Rights_Databases_Data_Sharing_and_Data_Security

"Benetech HRDAG develops database software, data collection strategies, and statistical techniques to measure human rights atrocities. Our technology and analysis is used by truth commissions, international criminal tribunals, and non-governmental human rights organizations around the world. Our analysis identifies the trends and patterns which is the evidence of crimes of policy. "

"Martus is a secure information management tool that allows you to create a searchable and encrypted database and back this data up remotely to your choice of publicly available servers. The Martus software is used by organizations around the world to protect sensitive information and shield the identity of victims or witnesses who provide testimony on human rights abuses. Martus is the Greek word for witness."

== Stephen Downes ==

"[http://www.downes.ca/] a great speaker and works with the Canadian National Research Council. He would definitely bring a more teaching and learning perspective to his talk."

"I've also seen Stephen talk and he offers a nice blend of tech, metadata, and end-user perspective."

== Paul Jones ==

"Paul Jones, the director of ibiblio.org. He's a poet, teaches at a journalism school and a library school, he's a part of internet and open source history (how many of you downloaded your first linux distro from sunsite.unc.edu?) and he's a fantastic public speaker. Here's an extract from his website (http://www.ibiblio.org/pjones/): "Although often mistaken for other unreconstructed relics of the failed social policies of the Sixties, Paul Jones is the Director of ibiblio.org, a project that includes the Site Formerly Known as MetaLab and SunSITE, The Public's Library -- a large contributor-run digital library. Besides speaking at several conferences world-wide, Paul teaches on the faculties of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Information and Library Science. He can be found many places on the Internet. He was the original manager of SunSITE.unc.edu, one of the first WWW sites in North America and is co-author of The Web Server Book (Ventana, 1995) (rereleased as The Unix Web Server Book, Second Edition Ventana, 1997). Jones has an additional on-going research interest in Open Source and Sharing Communities and Information policy issues as well as being an actively publishing poet. Paul is the editor of the Internet Poetry Archives, published with UNC Press. Paul is a founding board member of the American Open Technology Consortium, a member of the Board of Trustees of Chapel Hill Public Library, and a board member of the Linux Documentation Project. But he is most pleased to have been admitted into the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists and to have been selected in April 2003 as Best Geek in the Research Triangle by the Independent Weekly. "

"I've known Paul for years, although unfortunately my interactions with him in recent years have been few. In addition to the bio below, he's funny and his sense of humor gains an additional kick by being delivered in a Southern drawl. <hyperbole>I'd run over kids in strollers to hear him speak.</hyperbole>"

== Penny Leach ==

"2009 Google Open Source Award winner in the "Best Education Hacker" category, and a contributor to both Moodle and Mahara. From her blog: "This is a website about me. I am just this girl, who works on open source web based education stuff, and drinks too much."

== Andy Lester ==

author of ack "a grep replacement" and itinerant speaker on "Technical Debt" and employment in the tech world. He's a Perl guru working in the publishing indsutry. Andy's "Technical Debt" lecture would be a good fit, IMO, for the code4lib group.

* Technical Debt Talk: http://www.media-landscape.com/yapc/2006-06-26.AndyLester/

* Employment Stuff: http://theworkinggeek.com/

* He spoke at OSCON year on a couple of topics: http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/speaker/6552

== Clifford Lynch ==

== Cathy Marshall ==

* "Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research. She's working in personal digital archiving and personal information management.I've been really impressed with two of her recent projects: a talk at ASIST '08 about myths of digital archiving [1] and her JCDL 2009 paper "No bull, No spin"[2]--which examined zillions of flickr photos of a particular tourist attraction to understand how they used tags. Despite being a serious researcher, Cathy is very down-to-earth (check her twitter feed http://twitter.com/ccmarshall or her older and sometimes bizarre hypertext art).

* Founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media

* "We can dream, can't we? In case you don't see the connection, he is the CEO of O'Reilly, home of the technology series of books named after him and author of radar.oreilly.com. I've tried to get him for a keynote for a conference and he accepted but the conference decided to go another route so I know he will consider keynotes for technology crowds."

* BIO: http://oreilly.com/oreilly/tim_bio.html: "Tim O'Reilly is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, thought by many to be the best computer book publisher in the world. The company also publishes online through the O'Reilly Network and hosts conferences on technology topics. Tim is an activist for open source, open standards, and sensible intellectual property laws.

* CEO of Safari Books

* Safari Books is the online host of the O'Reilly Book series. Jeff is a very down-to-earth guy but is also 'geeky' enough to work with this crowd.

* BIO: http://www.safaribooksonline.com/Corporate/Company/boardDirectors.php: "Jeff Patterson joined Safari Books Online from CMP Technology LLC, where he served in a number of senior executive positions over nine years. His most recent position was president of the Business Technology Group that included leading IT media brands such as InformationWeek, TechWeb and the Web 2.0 Conference. Prior to CMP, he co-founded Beacon Technology Partners LLC, a market research firm specializing in measuring IT audience behavior and attitudes, and held management positions in media, manufacturing and advertising companies including Cahners Publishing Company (now Reed Business Information); National Semiconductor; Foote, Cone & Belding/San Francisco; Raychem Corporation; and Pinne, Garvin & Hock/San Francisco.

== Tim O'Reilly ==

* Founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media

* "We can dream, can't we? In case you don't see the connection, he is the CEO of O'Reilly, home of the technology series of books named after him and author of radar.oreilly.com. I've tried to get him for a keynote for a conference and he accepted but the conference decided to go another route so I know he will consider keynotes for technology crowds."

* BIO: http://oreilly.com/oreilly/tim_bio.html: "Tim O'Reilly is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, thought by many to be the best computer book publisher in the world. The company also publishes online through the O'Reilly Network and hosts conferences on technology topics. Tim is an activist for open source, open standards, and sensible intellectual property laws. Since 1978, Tim has led the company's pursuit of its core goal: to be a catalyst for technology change by capturing and transmitting the knowledge of "alpha geeks" and other innovators. His active engagement with technology communities drives both the company's product development and its marketing. Tim has built a culture where advocacy, meme-making, and evangelism are key tenets of the business philosophy."

== Mark Pilgrim ==

* He knows (real world, not necessarily library) standards about as well as anyone and advocates strongly for what's simple and practical (check out his work on Atom and HTML5), but he's also an advocate for doing what's right even when it's not necessarily easy (http://diveintoaccessibility.org/)

* He's updating Dive Into Python (http://diveintopython3.org/)

* He's funny, writes well, and seems to be articulate in person (based on his short-lived video log)

* He lives in NC

* His mother was a librarian (http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/06/02/more_on_social_networks)

== Daniel Pitti ==

"[http://iath.virginia.edu/~dvp4c] - formerly an authority control librarian, now a co-director for University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities. He's been the chief technical architect for EAD and EAC (Encoded Archival Context), a companion data model thats much more machine-oriented and linked data-friendly. He's also worked on some really great, innovative digital humanities projects.."

== Richard Stallman ==

"he has repeatedly expressed an interest in attending; he apparently wants to tell us the real/ true meaning of free and open source software."

== Jon Udell ==

On his podcast series, he's frequently featured people doing interesting library technology projects. He thinks and writes a lot about computational thinking, about splicing things on the web, and the pub-sub model.

http://blog.jonudell.net/

== Joan Frye Williams ==

"She's not a developer-type, but Joan Frye Williams has a lot of insights that she might be willing to turn towards the issues C4L discusses. They might not be what we want to hear, but sometimes that's a good thing."

"mostly because I know of few people with such a practical bent and I think it would be helpful to hear her perspective on what library coders might be able to do to help the largest number of people."

== Jonathan Zittrain ==

"co-founder of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society [2] (where David Weinberger is a fellow [3]) and author of "The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It" [4]. I heard him speak at a conference last year, largely on the implications of the Google Book deal. He was speaking without notes, very entertaining and knowledgeable both on technical and legal details. Also, according to his bio [1]," He was co-counsel with Lawrence Lessig in Eldred v. Ashcroft, challenging the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998." And "performed the first large-scale tests of Internet filtering in China and Saudi Arabia in 2002"

2010 Nominations list

2009-07-27T14:00:58Z

Dlovins: Added James King's nominees: Jeff Patterson and Tim O'Reilly

Nominations for invited speakers for Code4Lib 2010. Alphabetical order. Not yet complete

== Mitchell Baker ==

"Chair of the Mozilla Foundation is an excellent speaker, and perhaps a more modern evangelist for open source and a gimmick-free web."

== Patrick Ball ==

"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Ball] is director of the Human Rights Data Analysis Group [http://www.hrdag.org/] and lead on Martus (which is FLOSS) [http://www.martus.org/].

"I've never heard him talk but I admire the project, which is about gathering and analyzing enormous amounts of data and making it accessible and understandable to make the world a better place, like we do---except they do it about torture and human rights violations.

"Here's a video of him leading a panel at Berkeley recently: http://fora.tv/2009/05/04/Human_Rights_Databases_Data_Sharing_and_Data_Security

"Benetech HRDAG develops database software, data collection strategies, and statistical techniques to measure human rights atrocities. Our technology and analysis is used by truth commissions, international criminal tribunals, and non-governmental human rights organizations around the world. Our analysis identifies the trends and patterns which is the evidence of crimes of policy. "

"Martus is a secure information management tool that allows you to create a searchable and encrypted database and back this data up remotely to your choice of publicly available servers. The Martus software is used by organizations around the world to protect sensitive information and shield the identity of victims or witnesses who provide testimony on human rights abuses. Martus is the Greek word for witness."

== Stephen Downes ==

"[http://www.downes.ca/] a great speaker and works with the Canadian National Research Council. He would definitely bring a more teaching and learning perspective to his talk."

"I've also seen Stephen talk and he offers a nice blend of tech, metadata, and end-user perspective."

== Paul Jones ==

"Paul Jones, the director of ibiblio.org. He's a poet, teaches at a journalism school and a library school, he's a part of internet and open source history (how many of you downloaded your first linux distro from sunsite.unc.edu?) and he's a fantastic public speaker. Here's an extract from his website (http://www.ibiblio.org/pjones/): "Although often mistaken for other unreconstructed relics of the failed social policies of the Sixties, Paul Jones is the Director of ibiblio.org, a project that includes the Site Formerly Known as MetaLab and SunSITE, The Public's Library -- a large contributor-run digital library. Besides speaking at several conferences world-wide, Paul teaches on the faculties of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Information and Library Science. He can be found many places on the Internet. He was the original manager of SunSITE.unc.edu, one of the first WWW sites in North America and is co-author of The Web Server Book (Ventana, 1995) (rereleased as The Unix Web Server Book, Second Edition Ventana, 1997). Jones has an additional on-going research interest in Open Source and Sharing Communities and Information policy issues as well as being an actively publishing poet. Paul is the editor of the Internet Poetry Archives, published with UNC Press. Paul is a founding board member of the American Open Technology Consortium, a member of the Board of Trustees of Chapel Hill Public Library, and a board member of the Linux Documentation Project. But he is most pleased to have been admitted into the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists and to have been selected in April 2003 as Best Geek in the Research Triangle by the Independent Weekly. "

"I've known Paul for years, although unfortunately my interactions with him in recent years have been few. In addition to the bio below, he's funny and his sense of humor gains an additional kick by being delivered in a Southern drawl. <hyperbole>I'd run over kids in strollers to hear him speak.</hyperbole>"

== Penny Leach ==

"2009 Google Open Source Award winner in the "Best Education Hacker" category, and a contributor to both Moodle and Mahara. From her blog: "This is a website about me. I am just this girl, who works on open source web based education stuff, and drinks too much."

== Andy Lester ==

author of ack "a grep replacement" and itinerant speaker on "Technical Debt" and employment in the tech world. He's a Perl guru working in the publishing indsutry. Andy's "Technical Debt" lecture would be a good fit, IMO, for the code4lib group.

* Technical Debt Talk: http://www.media-landscape.com/yapc/2006-06-26.AndyLester/

* Employment Stuff: http://theworkinggeek.com/

* He spoke at OSCON year on a couple of topics: http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/speaker/6552

* find him at twitter at: http://twitter.com/PetDance

== Joe Lucia ==

"at Villanova. He is a Library Director who fully supports Open Source software and speaks on it from time to time. He was the keynote speaker at the recent Evergreen conference."

== Clifford Lynch ==

== Cathy Marshall ==

"Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research. She's working in personal digital archiving and personal information management.I've been really impressed with two of her recent projects: a talk at ASIST '08 about myths of digital archiving [1] and her JCDL 2009 paper "No bull, No spin"[2]--which examined zillions of flickr photos of a particular tourist attraction to understand how they used tags. Despite being a serious researcher, Cathy is very down-to-earth (check her twitter feed http://twitter.com/ccmarshall or her older and sometimes bizarre hypertext art). I think she'd be a great keynoter for Code4Lib.

"co-founder of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society [2] (where David Weinberger is a fellow [3]) and author of "The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It" [4]. I heard him speak at a conference last year, largely on the implications of the Google Book deal. He was speaking without notes, very entertaining and knowledgeable both on technical and legal details. Also, according to his bio [1]," He was co-counsel with Lawrence Lessig in Eldred v. Ashcroft, challenging the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998." And "performed the first large-scale tests of Internet filtering in China and Saudi Arabia in 2002"

2010 Nominations list

2009-07-24T13:28:03Z

Dlovins: /* Mark Pilgrim */

Alphabetical order. Not yet complete

== Mitchell Baker ==

"Chair of the Mozilla Foundation is an excellent speaker, and perhaps a more modern evangelist for open source and a gimmick-free web."

== Stephen Downes ==

"a great speaker and works with the Canadian National Research Council. He would definitely bring a more teaching and learning perspective to his talk."

"I've also seen Stephen talk and he offers a nice blend of tech, metadata, and end-user perspective."

== Paul Jones ==

"Paul Jones, the director of ibiblio.org. He's a poet, teaches at a journalism school and a library school, he's a part of internet and open source history (how many of you downloaded your first linux distro from sunsite.unc.edu?) and he's a fantastic public speaker. Here's an extract from his website (http://www.ibiblio.org/pjones/): "Although often mistaken for other unreconstructed relics of the failed social policies of the Sixties, Paul Jones is the Director of ibiblio.org, a project that includes the Site Formerly Known as MetaLab and SunSITE, The Public's Library -- a large contributor-run digital library. Besides speaking at several conferences world-wide, Paul teaches on the faculties of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Information and Library Science. He can be found many places on the Internet. He was the original manager of SunSITE.unc.edu, one of the first WWW sites in North America and is co-author of The Web Server Book (Ventana, 1995) (rereleased as The Unix Web Server Book, Second Edition Ventana, 1997). Jones has an additional on-going research interest in Open Source and Sharing Communities and Information policy issues as well as being an actively publishing poet. Paul is the editor of the Internet Poetry Archives, published with UNC Press. Paul is a founding board member of the American Open Technology Consortium, a member of the Board of Trustees of Chapel Hill Public Library, and a board member of the Linux Documentation Project. But he is most pleased to have been admitted into the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists and to have been selected in April 2003 as Best Geek in the Research Triangle by the Independent Weekly. "

"I've known Paul for years, although unfortunately my interactions with him in recent years have been few. In addition to the bio below, he's funny and his sense of humor gains an additional kick by being delivered in a Southern drawl. <hyperbole>I'd run over kids in strollers to hear him speak.</hyperbole>"

== Penny Leach ==

"2009 Google Open Source Award winner in the "Best Education Hacker" category, and a contributor to both Moodle and Mahara. From her blog: "This is a website about me. I am just this girl, who works on open source web based education stuff, and drinks too much."

== Joe Lucia ==

"at Villanova. He is a Library Director who fully supports Open Source software and speaks on it from time to time. He was the keynote speaker at the recent Evergreen conference."

== Clifford Lynch ==

== Cathy Marshall ==

"Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research. She's working in personal digital archiving and personal information management.I've been really impressed with two of her recent projects: a talk at ASIST '08 about myths of digital archiving [1] and her JCDL 2009 paper "No bull, No spin"[2]--which examined zillions of flickr photos of a particular tourist attraction to understand how they used tags. Despite being a serious researcher, Cathy is very down-to-earth (check her twitter feed http://twitter.com/ccmarshall or her older and sometimes bizarre hypertext art). I think she'd be a great keynoter for Code4Lib.

== Mark Pilgrim ==

* He knows (real world, not necessarily library) standards about as well as anyone and advocates strongly for what's simple and practical (check out his work on Atom and HTML5), but he's also an advocate for doing what's right even when it's not necessarily easy (http://diveintoaccessibility.org/)

* He's updating Dive Into Python (http://diveintopython3.org/)

* He's funny, writes well, and seems to be articulate in person (based on his short-lived video log)

because he "knows (real world, not necessarily library) standards about as well as anyone and advocates strongly for what's simple and practical (check out his work on Atom and HTML5), but he's also an advocate for doing what's right even when it's not necessarily easy … He's updating external link: Dive Into Python … He's funny, writes well, and seems to be articulate in person (based on his short-lived video log) … He lives in NC … His mother was a librarian.
(Brett Bonfield)

== Daniel Pitti ==

"formerly an authority control librarian, now a co-director for University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities. He's been the chief technical architect for EAD and EAC (Encoded Archival Context), a companion data model thats much more machine-oriented and linked data-friendly. He's also worked on some really great, innovative digital humanities projects."

== Jonathan Zittrain ==

co-founder of Harvard's external link: Berkman Center for Internet and Society (where external link: David Weinberger is a fellow) and author of "The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It"
