"Tuesday, February 7, 9 PM or shortly after -Courtyard Ballroom"

Adam Wead and Michael Klein are organizing a viewing of [http://www.getlamp.com/ Get Lamp: The Text Adventure Documentary]

If there is additional interest, there may be another viewing this week.

===Morning Run Wednesday===
I (Ray Schwartz) am organizing a morning run for anyone that would like to join me. It will be around 5 to 6 miles. I usually run a 10 minute per mile pace. And I would like to start around 7am. Select which days Tuesday or Wednesday or both mornings. Choose the date you wish via this Doodle link http://www.doodle.com/3tbigutqvkda5ib8

Link to the course map is at http://www.runningmap.com/?id=351428.

So far 4 have signed up for both Tuesday and Wednesday. Let's meet in the Lobby at 7am on Tuesday, and we will decide how to do Wednesday.

Note that they have some excellent non-meat options for any meat groupies that want to hang with us.

(if you do not find a suitable burger joint, there are also some top-notch steakhouses in Seattle. Both the Metropolitan Grill and El Gaucho are delightful if folks are OK with $50 steaks. Just FYI, not trying to hijack your meat-up, Cary!. -mjgiarlo)

===Evergreen/Koha and friends dinner Wednesday===

2012 preconference proposals

2011-11-16T20:37:11Z

Dmunson:

=Proposals for 2012 Code4LibCon Preconferences=
Proposals will close Sunday, November 20 so we can finalize the list and add them to registration!

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==

=== Hackfest ===

Like the hackfests at Access, let's get together and do something. An informal gathering of developers, librarians, and variants in-between. Got code or an idea? Bring it and have others help you at the Hackfest where anything and everything goes!

Bring a laptop or portable device, coffee or beverage of choice and we'll spend a day bodging, tinkering, tweaking, coding, chatting, and having fun. We'll spawn clusters around proposals at the start and then everyone can break off. Reports / presentations / demos at code4lib greatly encouraged but not mandatory.

[[Hackfest Barn Raising (idea page)]]

Farmer and Ranch-hand: Jason Fowler, UBC Library Systems, jason dot fowler at ubc dot ca

=== 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

==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!

Organizer type person: Dan Chudnov, GWU Libraries, @dchud or dchud at gwu edu

=== What's New in Solr ===

This session will bring folks up to speed on the latest developments in Lucene and Solr. There's always a lot of new capabilities as well as tips and tricks on using Solr in clever and powerful ways.

Presenter: Erik Hatcher - erik . hatcher @ lucidimagination dot com

==Half Day Afternoon==

=== Git -r done ===

A session to cover all things Git, everyone's favourite 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.

Coordinator: Ian Walls, ByWater Solutions, @sekjal or ian.walls at bywatersolutions com

=== 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.

Presenters: Jessie Keck, Stanford University - jkeck at stanford dot edu | Molly Pickral, University of Virginia - mpc3c at virginia dot edu

=== DACS and EAD Overview ===

This session will look at what DACS (Describing Archives: a Content Standard) is and describe the ten required elements. Then there will be an overview of what EAD is, how it works, and the required elements. The final part will be a practice session on taking a paper finding aid and coding it using DACS and EAD.
