<div>Code4Lib Fiscal Continuity Interest Group Report<br />
<br />
23 January 2017<br />
<br />
== A. Executive Summary ==<br />
<br />
This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Code4Lib Fiscal Continuity Interest Group (FCIG) to the Code4Lib community, to assist the community in collectively deciding how we may best achieve ongoing, sustainable fiscal responsibility for the Code4Lib annual meeting/conference.<br />
<br />
The challenge addressed in this report is that the current process of recruiting each year an external &quot;fiscal host&quot; to bear the burden of financial responsibility for the Code4Lib Conference imposes a very high cost in terms of work, time, and financial risk for those who make the conference possible for the community: the local planning committees and the host institutions. Many community members have expressed significant concern about whether this cost constitutes an unacceptable burden, by hindering the long-term sustainability of the conference, and undermining the overall soundness of the Code4Lib community.<br />
<br />
From June-Dec 2016, the Fiscal Continuity Interest Group of Code4Lib explored a wide range of options for alternative approaches/ways to make running the annual meeting/conference more fiscally sustainable.In this report we present an overview of our investigation, summarizing current practice as well as the strongest options for alternative approaches that we identified. To inform the community’s evaluation of the choices presented here, we first outline the requirements for maintaining the status quo, and then the requirements for implementation for each alternative approach. Based on these requirements and/or possible terms for each option, we then analyze of the pros and cons for each scenario.<br />
<br />
Broadly categorized, the three options discussed in this report are:<br />
<br />
* Option 1: maintain the existing practice of local conference planning committees seeking a new &quot;fiscal host&quot; each year<br />
* Option 2: implement a formalized, ongoing fiscal sponsor arrangement with an organization external to Code4Lib<br />
* Option 3: seek out non-profit organizational status for Code4Lib<br />
<br />
====== Structure of the Report ======<br />
<br />
Section B, &quot;Introduction&quot; provides background to the report, by describing the problem of fiscal hosts for the Code4Lib conference, and the formation, objectives, and working process of the FCIG.<br />
<br />
Section C, &quot;Findings&quot; outlines in objective terms the requirements for implementation of each of three options, providing descriptions of:<br />
<br />
# current practice (&quot;fiscal hosting&quot; for the annual Code4Lib meeting),<br />
# proposed terms for fiscal sponsorship offered by two external organizations<br />
# the process required to form Code4Lib as an independent NPO<br />
<br />
Section D, &quot;Analysis&quot;, presents summaries of the strongest arguments for and against each of these options.<br />
<br />
Section E concludes the report with our recommendation to the community for a process and timetable to collectively discuss this issue online and in person during January-March 2017, to evaluate the options we have presented, in addition to any other serious proposals that community members may make. e recommend that, following that discussion, the community hold a vote in order to select one of those options and identify volunteers to implement it.<br />
<br />
== B. Introduction ==<br />
<br />
====== Statement of Problem: Need for Financial Responsibility for Code4Lib Conference ======<br />
<br />
Code4Lib is has no legal status as an organization incorporated or registered with a government entity, but is instead a volunteer-driven collective. Since Code4Lib is not an official organization, it is not possible for Code4Lib to assume legal responsibility for its own expenses incurred to hold the community’s annual meeting, which began in 2006. Over the eleven years since the first Code4Lib meeting, what has become &quot;[https://code4lib.org/conference the annual Code4Lib Conference]&quot; has been hosted by a succession of libraries, each of which has signed contracts to secure venues, hotel accommodations, and services. This means that as a consequence of hosting the event, each host institution has also played the role of “fiscal host”, and has assumed liability for those contracts.<br />
<br />
During this time, the annual meeting as an event has grown steadily in size and complexity, into a significant financial undertaking for these fiscal hosts. In the most recent years, the conference has regularly attracted over 400 attendees and has had a budget in the low six figures. This growth of budgets has a direct effect on the amount of risk that the fiscal host takes on in assuming financial responsibility for contracts: in the event of an unexpected cancellation of the event, it is common for hotel and venue contracts to have significant cancellation penalties.<br />
<br />
One consequence of this increased risk as the conference has grown is that the potential pool of hosts has shrunk, because there are fewer libraries and related institutions who are in a position to take on the financial risk involved in providing a fiscal host for the Code4Lib Conference. Additionally, such risk should not be minimized as an issue, in terms of potential consequences for individuals involved in conference planning, or long-term outcomes for the community. In the worst case, the financial failure of a meeting could result in broad unwillingness to host future meetings, and professional and personal consequences for any community members employed by the host institution. There has also been at least one recent case in which a local planning committee had plenty of volunteers capable of planning and running the meeting but was unable to find a host institution willing to assume the financial liability.<br />
<br />
This situation has prompted engaged discussion among community members about how this approach to organizing and funding the annual meeting, as well as the increasing expense associated with the conference as it grows, reflects our purpose and values as a community. The concerns expressed speak to different aspects of the ideals and goals that are fundamental to Code4Lib.<br />
<br />
The purpose of this report is to provide concrete options for our community to consider as we assess the practical realities and trade-offs between the advantages of taking on increased financial responsibility and &quot;overhead&quot;, and the imperative to maintain the core purpose and values of Code4Lib as an independent, open, and responsive community.<br />
<br />
====== Formation of the FCIG ======<br />
<br />
The fiscal continuity interest group began in July 2016 in response to a call for volunteers to form a working group to explore options for &quot;setting up something that can act as an ongoing fiscal host for the annual Code4Lib conference&quot;, which was part of an email listserv discussion begun in June of 2016 about [http://serials.infomotions.com/code4lib/archive/2016/201606/1399.html &quot;formalizing Code4Lib&quot;]; and from a [http://serials.infomotions.com/code4lib/archive/2016/201606/1493.html call by Coral Sheldon-Hess] for folks to &quot;self-nominate, to join a group to investigate making Code4Lib fiscally sustainable.&quot;<br />
<br />
In the June 2016 listserv discussion, discussion centered on questions about how to best reconcile Code4Lib’s long-standing identity as a community of individuals without hierarchy, bylaws, or official leadership roles, with the practical demands of organizing the annual Code4Lib conference. How could Code4Lib as a &quot;loosely-affiliated community,&quot; formed for the purpose of sharing information and ideas apart from any mandated or official structure, now manage the financial responsibility for the conference that grew out of these original informal community discussions? The FCIG tasked itself with exploring options for alternative approaches/ways to make Code4Lib more fiscally sustainable, particularly with respect to running the annual meeting/conference.<br />
<br />
====== FCIG Process ======<br />
<br />
The FCIG shared communications via a Google group list, and met via videochat 1-2 times per month from July 1, 2016 - Dec. 23, 2016. [https://wiki.code4lib.org/Fiscal_Continuity#Meetings Meeting notes] are shared at the FCIG wiki page within the main Code4Lib wiki.<br />
<br />
In initial discussions, the group brainstormed many potential options to explore as ways for Code4Lib to move forward in establishing, or determining not to establish, an ongoing fiscal entity; the FCIG wiki page contains an [https://wiki.code4lib.org/Fiscal_Continuity#Fiscal_Structures extensive list] of these possibilities. Group consensus determined which of these preliminary possibilities to gather more information about. Individuals volunteered to do the work of investigating each option. In order to provide a consistent and comprehensive template for discussions with potential fiscal sponsors, Coral Sheldon-Hess compiled a list of questions which was reviewed and agreed upon by the group. This list is included in the Appendix section of this report.<br />
<br />
== C. Findings ==<br />
<br />
This section outlines the practical requirements for implementation or continuation, for each of three options:<br />
<br />
# maintaining the status quo of fiscal hosting<br />
# obtaining ongoing fiscal sponsorship (ie, terms offered by external organizations approached by the FCIG)<br />
# forming Code4Lib as a non-profit organization<br />
<br />
=== Option 1: Maintain the status quo ===<br />
<br />
====== Description of Current Practice ======<br />
<br />
At present, Code4Lib has no legal status and is not an official organization. In one sense, &quot;Code4Lib&quot; does not exist; there is no governance structure nor even any guidelines for membership. The Code4Lib Conference does have a Code of Conduct that applies to individuals who pay a registration fee to attend this event, but otherwise there are no rules for what Code4Lib is or what its members do. In another sense, Code4Lib is an active and significant professional group: in addition to the annual conference, there are a number of regional meetings each year, the publication of the Code4Lib journal, and the maintenance of a variety of communications forums.<br />
<br />
The fundraising process employed for the annual Code4Lib meeting reflects the community’s DIY traditions. Recent total budgets for the annual Code4Lib conference have exceeded $250,000, with roughly half of the cost covered by sponsor donations and half by registration fees. These contributions are secured through the work of a Code4Lib Sponsorship Committee, which self-nominates, forming each year as a group of volunteers who spontaneously reply to a call on the Code4Lib listserv. The Sponsorship Committee follows the successful precedents established by the actions of previous years/committees, but has no official guidelines or instructions. However, the LPC will typically pay close attention to the actions of the Sponsorship Committee, as it is ultimately the responsibility of the institution that is hosting Code4Lib to cover any shortfalls. Members of the Sponsorship Committee sign up to take individual responsibility for contacting potential donors, who are chosen from lists of previous years’ donors, as well as brainstormed by the Sponsorship Committee each year based on the committee members’ own contacts, or the geographic location of the conference that year. Perhaps the only limitation on donors is that they must be institutions that do not have requirements for donating only to 501(c)(3) status organizations, because Code4Lib does not have this status.<br />
<br />
Since Code4Lib is not an official organization, and therefore does not have any legal capacity to hold funds or to assume responsibility for contracts, it has been necessary each year to secure an agreement from another legal entity willing to take fiscal responsibility for conference expenses (the &quot;fiscal host&quot;). The fiscal host has often been the library or organization that is supplying space for the conference, but that need not be the case. Every year the work of finding and recruiting the fiscal host has been done by local planning committees, who have usually turned to institutions in their own geographic area willing to perform this service. In addition to signing contracts and bearing the financial liability of the contract, the fiscal host has typically done the conference bookkeeping as well.<br />
<br />
Code4Lib has so far been fortunate in the successful hosting of conferences, and has benefited from the goodwill of the community by receiving support from institutions willing to voluntarily provide fiscal hosting. However, these fortuitous circumstances are by no means a given in events planning, and the willingness thus far of institutions to act as fiscal hosts does not mean that the risk an institution takes on should be discounted.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the need to secure a new fiscal host each year can add substantial complexity to the planning process, in the event of any irregularities in determining a host site. Preparations for the 2017 conference provide an example of the kind of complications that can ensue, and the kind of liability that the fiscal host takes on. The local planning committee for the 2017 conference includes members from southern California and the southeast U.S. from the original Chattanooga 2017 group. However, the fiscal host for the 2017 conference is UCLA, who is the entity that has signed contracts with an event planner, with the venue, with several hotels, and with providers of other services. As such, UCLA is ultimately responsible for paying on those contracts, and some of those liabilities would not disappear even if the 2017 conference were abruptly cancelled. For example, in order to secure sufficient hotel rooms for attendees, UCLA has guaranteed that a certain number of hotel-nights will be purchased by conference attendees; if a threshold is not met, UCLA would be obligated to pay the difference.<br />
<br />
The lack of independent financial agency means that Code4Lib has no bank account, and in principle each year's LPC has to prepare to start from scratch, which can make it a challenge to pay deposits to secure venue space. Fortunately, each conference gets some seed money from the previous year's LPC; for example, UCLA received over $30,000 from the surplus achieved by the 2016 conference. Additional funding comes from registration fees and sponsorships.<br />
<br />
=== Option 2: Obtain Ongoing Fiscal Sponsorship from an External Organization ===<br />
<br />
====== What Fiscal Sponsorship is and how it works ======<br />
<br />
In essence, fiscal sponsorship would secure for Code4Lib a similar relationship to the annual fiscal hosts, except for an ongoing duration, and in exchange for a fee paid by Code4Lib to the sponsor organization.<br />
<br />
[http://grantspace.org/tools/knowledge-base/Individual-Grantseekers/Fiscal-Sponsorship/fiscal-sponsorship Fiscal sponsorship] is a formal arrangement between a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a project, organization, group, or program that may lack tax-exempt status. Common functions provided by fiscal sponsors include assisting with fundraising, receiving charitable contributions on behalf of the sponsored project, and performing financial/administrative tasks such as handling contracts and disbursing funds. The website of the[https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/tools-resources/fiscal-sponsorship-nonprofits National Council of Nonprofits] provides a comprehensive overview of considerations for these arrangements, and links to many resources for more information on fiscal sponsorship. A specific example of a fiscal sponsorship agreement is the one [http://evergreen-ils.org/wp-content/uploads/gov/2012-07-01_evergreen-sponsorship-agreement_signed-by-all_scanned-by-bkuhn.pdf between the Software Freedom Conservancy and the Evergreen Project].<br />
<br />
For the purposes of this report, fiscal sponsorship would be a formal arrangement between the Code4Lib community, as defined for our purposes on the Code4Lib website [https://code4lib.org/about about page], and a sponsor organization, to provide the following minimum services:<br />
<br />
* Hold funds on behalf of Code4Lib<br />
* Sign contracts with entities providing services for the annual conference, including professional event managers, conference venues, and hotels.<br />
* As signatory, assume direct financial liability for these contracts. This means that the fiscal sponsor assumes financial responsibility for the Code4Lib conference, thereby eliminating the need for the local planning committee to recruit an institution to be the &quot;fiscal host&quot; for the conference each year.<br />
<br />
The services outlined above focus on the minimum fiscal sponsorship responsibility necessary to support the annual Code4Lib conference, because so far that has been the extent of Code4Lib’s financial needs. If ongoing fiscal sponsorship is secured, however, this arrangement could potentially allow Code4Lib to also use these services for other purposes as designated by the community.<br />
<br />
====== Organizations Researched ======<br />
<br />
The FCIG obtained information from the following organizations about possible terms for fiscal sponsorship:<br />
<br />
# Fractured Atlas<br />
# LITA/ALA<br />
# Nercomp<br />
# CLIR/DLF<br />
# [http://www.fiscalsponsordirectory.org/ Fiscal Sponsor Directory]<br />
# Educopia<br />
<br />
Of this list, Fractured Atlas and Nercomp were determined not to be possible to pursue further. LITA/ALA and CLIR/DLF each offered possible terms for fiscal sponsorship arrangements with Code4Lib. The LITA/ALA and CLIR/DLF sections below outline these terms, and reflect these organizations’ responses to the list of &quot;Questions posed to potential Fiscal Sponsors&quot;, in Appendix A of this report.<br />
<br />
In addition to the individual organizations in #1-4, the FCIG also conducted a basic search within the online Fiscal Sponsor Directory, to get a sense of what arrangements other possible fiscal sponsors in this list might offer. The directory search provided a list of approximately ten organizations whose mission and sponsorship focus appear compatible with Code4Lib; these organizations could be examined more closely if Code4Lib wants to pursue a contract for fiscal sponsorship but elects not to choose one of the possibilities presented in this report. This list is at the FCIG wiki page.<br />
<br />
Finally, very late in the process, the FCIG also inquired with Educopia. We did not have time to complete this discussion, but this organization may be another possibility to consider, as a fiscal sponsor. The FCIG will provide an addenda to this report if we are able to gather more information about this possibility.<br />
<br />
====== Summary of Findings from Each Organization ======<br />
<br />
1. Fractured Atlas<br />
<br />
[https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/fiscal/ Fractured Atlas] (FA) focuses on arts and cultural sector endeavors, and offers fee-based fiscal sponsorship which provides the benefits of 501(c)(3) status to entities that do not have this tax status. Since the range of projects and organizations that FA sponsors encompasses a wide range of cultural-sector activities, the FCIG contacted FA to find out if Code4Lib could be considered for sponsorship, and/or to get recommendations for other options Code4Lib could consider. We contacted Fractured Atlas by phone August 11, 2016. The staff person we spoke to advised us that Code4Lib as an organization would not fall within the scope of Fractured Atlas’ work, and recommended against applying for sponsorship from FA. She recommended that Code4Lib look for a fiscal sponsor within the Fiscal Sponsor Directory. (http://www.fiscalsponsordirectory.org/)<br />
<br />
2. LITA/ALA<br />
<br />
===== Proposed Terms for Fiscal Sponsorship =====<br />
<br />
The Library Information Technology Association (LITA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), is willing to serve as a fiscal agent for the Code4Lib conference on either a short-term or long-term basis. There are two models under which this could happen:<br />
<br />
In the first model, ALA would act as an &quot;Association Management Firm&quot; for Code4Lib, where there would be a contract between the two organizations, and ALA would only handle the contracts for the conference. ALA would not be responsible for insurance, liability, or taxes. This is important to note, because ALA would require that a tax return be filed, which would have to be done by Code4Lib; and ALA’s tax-exempt status would not be part of the deal, since ALA would have no authority and would only act on behalf of Code4Lib. Although it wouldn’t be required, ALA would strongly recommend that Code4Lib incorporate in this scenario, or else the individuals would be personally liable and would have to pay taxes on any revenue.<br />
<br />
In the second model Code4Lib would need to become part of ALA and live within LITA. The advantages of doing this would be gaining ALA’s tax-exempt status and liability insurance, as well as some persistence from year-to-year, while the disadvantages would be paying ALA’s overhead rates and dealing with the bureaucracy. ALA’s overhead rate for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 will be 26.4% of gross revenue; there is the potential for it to change after that, but ALA has said it doesn’t anticipate the rate going above 26.4% at this time. Each year’s conference organizers would need to be LITA members, but they would be the only ones. Associate, Staff Support, and Friends dues levels are much less expensive than those for a degreed-librarian, so this might not be as expensive a proposition as it sounds.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there is no legal in-between or compromise between these positions, because &quot;fiscal agent&quot; isn’t a legal term, and ALA can’t assume liability for an event over which it has no authority. Legal contractual needs aside, LITA has no interest in telling Code4Lib how to operate, and they only have two staff members, meaning that they do not have capacity to run Code4Lib or even interfere with how it runs. LITA is confident that “we can create a Code4Lib bubble within LITA that puts as little bureaucracy on the group as possible,” but it would require a number of initial conversations to make sure both groups were comfortable with the details of the arrangement.<br />
<br />
Assuming the second model is the option we choose, Code4Lib could still use CONCENTRA Conference Management Services for our conferences. ALA/LITA would sign the contract with CONCENTRA, though Code4Lib would negotiate the details, since the committee would know what it wants. ALA’s lawyer would have to review the first contract; future committees could keep using the same document until there are changes, which would again be reviewed by the lawyer. When LITA does this for LITA Forum, there’s no cost because it is part of the overhead LITA pays to ALA.<br />
<br />
Although the legal language can be concerning, there are certain pieces that are incredibly beneficial; for instance, the language around the ability to cancel the conference with no penalty if changes (even potential ones) in local legislation threaten the safety of attendees.<br />
<br />
If Code4Lib chooses to partner with LITA/ALA, it would be best to do so for at least 2-3 years, to determine whether or not it is a good fit (and to make all of the paperwork worth doing). At that point Code4Lib would be free to continue with LITA/ALA, to find another fiscal sponsor, or to seek its own nonprofit status.<br />
<br />
3. Nercomp<br />
<br />
The FCIG also reached out to NERCOMP (the NorthEast Regional Computing Program), but after discussion, concluded Code4Lib and NERCOMP were not a good fit.<br />
<br />
4. CLIR/DLF<br />
<br />
===== Proposed Terms for Fiscal Sponsorship =====<br />
<br />
The Council on Library and Information Resources, the parent organization of the Digital Library Federation, has also offered possible terms for providing ongoing fiscal sponsorship for Code4Lib. The terms outlined below were discussed via email and phone conversations with Bethany Nowviskie, Director, DLF, and Sharon Ivy Weiss, Chief Operating Officer, CLIR, between October-December 2016. In these conversations, the FCIG provided via email an adaptation of the list of questions Coral prepared for potential sponsors (as discussed with LITA/ALA, outlined above). Quotations below are taken from emails written by Bethany Nowviskie in response to these questions, and are used with her permission.<br />
<br />
====== Time Frame ======<br />
<br />
CLIR/DLF would prefer a &quot;longer-term, multiple-year relationship&quot;, as a provider of ongoing fiscal sponsor services for Code4Lib, rather than a short-term arrangement such as a one-year minimum. On this point, CLIR’s response noted that the investment of time required by both groups to arrange and manage the transition to a fiscal sponsorship arrangement would simply mean that a one-year agreement would not be as worthwhile.<br />
<br />
====== Services Provided, MoU, and Conference Logistics ======<br />
<br />
Fiscal sponsor services provided by CLIR would include managing funds for Code4Lib, negotiating contracts and event insurance on the group’s behalf, and performing routine fiscal tasks such as creating audits and reports for the group’s funds upon request. DLF would continue to support the Code4Lib listserv and serve as a collegial point of contact with the Code4Lib community, in evolving the CLIR/DLF relationship. To specify and document expectations on both sides and formalize the fiscal sponsorship, CLIR requests that Code4Lib establish an MoU with CLIR.<br />
<br />
In terms of planning and organizational work for the annual Code4Lib conference, CLIR would not require any departure from the current structure of Code4Lib community volunteers self-organizing each year. For example, CLIR would not require or request that Code4Lib’s annual conference organizers be affiliated with CLIR/DLF member organizations. Also keeping with Code4Lib’s recent practice, CLIR would request that Code4Lib continue to hire CONCENTRA &quot;or another firm as a subcontractor for conference logistics — including all planning and event management not undertaken by local hosts and volunteers.&quot; This is because CLIR and DLF do not currently have adequate staffing to cover the conference-organizing services that CONCENTRA has provided to Code4Lib, and the recommended fiscal sponsor fee paid to CLIR would not be sufficient to cover these services.<br />
<br />
As Code4Lib’s ongoing fiscal sponsor, and more specifically as the signatory to contracts for conference expenses, CLIR would assume financial liability for Code4Lib’s annual conference. In order to limit the financial risks involved in this role, CLIR would strongly recommend/request that Code4Lib obtain event insurance for future conferences. CLIR has experience with purchasing event insurance for other conferences such as the DLF Forum, and can provide recommendations to Code4Lib about options.<br />
<br />
Regarding filing taxes and other accounting work, CLIR/DLF would perform routine financial tasks and accounting on Code4Lib’s behalf; this work would be included as part of CLIR’s overall legal accounting responsibilities as a non-profit organization. This means that CLIR/DLF would do the work of &quot;saving receipts, doing monthly financial analyses, filing annual tax returns, being professionally audited on a regular basis, etc., and Code4Lib would not have to file separate taxes or do anything extra in that regard.&quot;<br />
<br />
====== Fees and Financial Arrangements ======<br />
<br />
The fee structure and financial considerations that CLIR/DLF has proposed for the fiscal sponsor services described above have three elements and are &quot;largely designed to help put Code4Lib on stable financial footing:&quot;<br />
<br />
# CLIR/DLF would request payment of an annual fee of $5,000 as compensation for staff time and auditor fees required for fiscal sponsor services.<br />
# CLIR would request that any net proceeds left over after expenses for the 2017 Code4Lib conference be deposited into a reserve account, to begin to establish a financial &quot;nest-egg&quot; for the Code4Lib group, rather than be applied forward immediately to the 2018 conference. “These funds could be drawn upon for the 2018 conference if needed, but ideally would grow to a comfortable amount to supplement any future losses not covered by event insurance. The target amount to be reserved for emergency could be discussed as part of a Code4Lib/CLIR MoU.”<br />
# CLIR would request that conference budgets be established to allow for a second annual payment of at least $5,000 be deposited by Code4Lib into the &quot;nest egg&quot; account. The purpose of this annual payment would be “to help grow that account, and with the idea that, once it reaches its target size, it might be used — at your discretion — as a backstop budget for new initiatives or in the event that the community approaches CLIR/DLF to perform services beyond what’s outlined in our MoU and above the level of what we are able to do out of simple goodwill (major new infrastructure investments, etc).”<br />
<br />
====== Other Issues Addressed: Summary of CLIR’s Responses to Potential Sponsor Questions ======<br />
<br />
CLIR would not request any control over Code4Lib’s organizational/&quot;governance” processes, or that Code4Lib adopt CLIR’s or DLF’s bylaws.<br />
<br />
In terms of contact persons between Code4Lib and CLIR/DLF, CLIR expressed familiarity with Code4Lib’s current operational processes, and indicated that they would be fine with these processes continuing: &quot;Single point of contact, changing annually, and without a required connection to CLIR or DLF is fine. In short, the practice of having local organizing committees and rotating leadership over the conference and other activities that currently exists in Code4Lib would be acceptable. We work with some other groups who operate in this way, and were also comfortable taking on hosting of the Code4Lib listserv recently, knowing and appreciating how grassroots leadership happens in the community!&quot;<br />
<br />
CLIR has no objections to a decision by Code4Lib to hold future conferences in Canada, or to including international attendees at Code4Lib events. CLIR also noted that they recently had a successful experience holding a conference in Canada ([https://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/ 2015 DLF Forum]).<br />
<br />
DLF requests that all events they sponsor have a Code of Conduct, and noted that Code4Lib’s existing Code satisfies this requirement, and also expressed appreciation that Code4Lib’s Code of Conduct precedes [https://www.diglib.org/about/code-of-conduct/ the DLF’s].<br />
<br />
Regarding past or current experience as fiscal sponsor for other groups, CLIR has recently provided or currently provides ongoing fiscal sponsorship for conferences organized by the DLF, the [http://sites.tdl.org/openrepositories/ Open Repositories] organization, the[http://iiif.io/community/#participating-institutions International Image Interoperability Framework], and the [https://www.diglib.org/forums/2016forum/ndsa-digipres16/ National Digital Stewardship Alliance], and the [http://taiga-forum.org Taiga Forum], and is happy to provide contact names from these groups to Code4Lib. Since 20 July 2016, CLIR/DLF has also been hosting the Code4Lib listserv.<br />
<br />
As these conversations were a preliminary inquiry by the FCIG, CLIR also indicated that if Code4Lib would like to further explore fiscal sponsorship with CLIR/DLF, they would be happy to provide more details such as how staffing arrangements for Code4Lib’s bookkeeping would be handled, and discuss recommended target amounts for a &quot;nest egg&quot; reserve and specifics about access by Code4Lib organizers to financial records pertaining to the Code4Lib group and conference expenses.<br />
<br />
=== Option 3: Formation of Code4Lib as a non-profit organization ===<br />
<br />
====== What a non-profit organization is, and how this is different from Code4Lib now ======<br />
<br />
At present, Code4Lib is an unincorporated association by virtue of its status as a group of people working together for a lawful purpose. Because Code4Lib's activities are not done with a view towards profit, and any surpluses have historically been rolled over to run future conferences, Code4Lib is furthermore an unincorporated ''nonprofit'' association. As such, any activities performed by the community could result in individual liability to Code4Lib members (although in practice this is a non-issue, as host libraries are the ones signing contracts for annual conference activities) and Code4Lib in and of itself likely has no ability to sign contracts.<br />
<br />
An incorporated non-profit organization, i.e., registered in a U.S. state or Canadian province, would be able to sign contracts and would protect members from individual liability. Furthermore, Code4Lib's activities are such that it would likely qualify for U.S. federal tax exempt status.<br />
<br />
Some other formal organizational forms were considered in a more cursory fashion. For example, the community could choose to countenance the formation of a for-profit LLC or corporation to run the annual conference. However, the objections to putting Code4Lib's name in the hands of a private entity, no matter how trustworthy, are obvious.<br />
<br />
Another organization form that was briefly looked at is that of the World Science Fiction Society, an unincorporated literary society that runs the annual Worldcon and presents the Hugo Awards. The WSFS, by virtue of having a written constitution and ownership of various trademarks, is able to vet potential hosts for Worldcon and ensure a degree of financial transparency, although ultimately, financial liability for each Worldcon rests on its host committee (which typically establishes a non-profit corporation to protect its members from individual liability). The WSFS is governed democratically, as each year's Worldcon members become members of the WSFS and can participate in the annual business meeting. This report will not explore the WSFS further, but the FCIG does point out that the WSFS model might represent an approach for Code4Lib that, while essentially maintaining the status quo, would support better financial transparency.<br />
<br />
==== Requirements for Code4Lib to become a 501c3 ====<br />
<br />
Information here is drawn largely from a conversation with attorney Richard H. Bennett of FisherBroyles; while this report attempts to accurately reflect the substance of that conversation, it should not be construed as legal advice from Mr. Bennett.<br />
<br />
Several questions were asked during the conversation, and the summary here follows that order. Note that any specifics are based in the law of the state of Georgia; other states may offer somewhat different options for forming non-profit entities.<br />
<br />
===== Based on a description of Code4Lib's activity as a group organizing national conferences, what tax organization structure is preferable? =====<br />
<br />
There was a discussion of profit vs. nonprofit organization, and Bennett agreed that nonprofit organization makes more sense for Code4Lib. Under Georgia law, the most relevant type of nonprofit organization would be a nonprofit corporation (there are also nonprofit trusts, but are more complicated). Other jurisdictions are trying to establish nonprofit or low-profit LLCs, but those don't work in a tax-exempt situation. Georgia is currently considering establishing an option to form public benefit corporations, but this is not an available option yet.<br />
<br />
Bennett agrees that it would be worthwhile to pursue tax-exempt status were Code4Lib to form a non-profit corporation.<br />
<br />
===== What sorts of legal expenses can we expect to form a non-profit corporation? =====<br />
<br />
There are two sets of costs: one for the formation of entity, and one for maintaining tax-exempt status.<br />
<br />
For a Georgia nonprofit corporation, Bennett estimates about $1,200 to $1,800 in fees (includes $100 filing fee + $40 publication fee + $180 for corporate minute book and seal, with the rest for attorney costs).<br />
<br />
Nonprofit typically requires more customization than basic for-profits. There are two types of nonprofits corporations: membership-based and non-membership based. The membership form is probably more suitable for Code4Lib.<br />
<br />
There can be a board, for which the recommended size is 5 to 13 people. However, an option that might better suit Code4Lib's democratic nature would be to structure it so that every member of the nonprofit corporation is a member of the board.<br />
<br />
If we do that, everybody has a direct vote, although presumably the community would choose to delegate day-to-day business to a set of officers and conference organization to local planning committees. Also, in a model where every Code4Lib member is a member of the board, it would be important to set the quorum size for meetings wisely. We don't want to set it too high, otherwise ordinary business couldn't be done.<br />
<br />
The bylaws would establish the quorum, as well as nature of any standing committees and officer positions. Another question that the bylaws would have to answer: what are criteria for membership? It is not legally required to have a membership fee; instead, establishing a mechanism whereby people can sign up to say that they're Code4Lib member is sufficient. If we do it that way, Bennett recommends that there's a mechanism to require periodic confirmation of membership<br />
<br />
Tax-exempt status is separate from nonprofit status. Given that Code4Lib's annual budget, including the conference, is more than $25,000 a year, it would be necessary to use the long form.<br />
<br />
If a lawyer were to be wholly involved in managing the tax-exempt application, legal fees would be about $3,000 to $5,000. However, it would be an option for Code4Lib members to do most of the work in filling out the IRS paperwork and reduce direct costs.<br />
<br />
The IRS fee to file form 1023 or 1024 would be on the order of $850 (it would be $400 if average annual gross receipts were under $10,000).<br />
<br />
One question to answer would be whether a 501(c)3 or 501(c)6 is more suitable for Code4Lib.<br />
<br />
One requirement for applying for tax-exempt status is providing three years of financial statements:. The past three years of conference budgets would be sufficient to meet this requirement, and aggregate information is sufficient<br />
<br />
===== What sorts of activities must we undertake, to remain in compliance with legal regulations for whatever type of organization we might become? =====<br />
<br />
At minimum, a nonprofit organization must have an annual meeting to elect board and officers. This could be scheduled to occur during the time of the annual conference, but would not have to be. Also, there is no requirement that the meeting must occur in person.<br />
<br />
A nonprofit corporation would have to pay an annual filing fee and submit a tax return. Tax-exempt nonprofits would also have to file a federal form 990, which would become a public document.<br />
<br />
Proper corporate records (such as board and member minutes) should also be maintained to keep the entity's limited liability shield in place.<br />
<br />
== D. Analysis of Options ==<br />
<br />
This section summarize the advantages and disadvantages of each option, beginning in each case with a bullet-point list of pros, followed by a brief discussion of these points, then a bullet-point list of cons for that option, again followed by discussion.<br />
<br />
In evaluating these options, it is worth noting that Options 2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive; for example, Option 2 could be pursued as an interim solution, while the community further investigates whether to eventually implement Option 3.<br />

=== Option 1: Maintain the status quo ===<br />
<br />
====== Pros: Reasons to Maintain Status Quo ======<br />
<br />
Based on the factors described above, the FCIG has identified the following possible arguments for continuing with current practice:<br />
<br />
* Retain the informal &quot;''community'' not ''organization''&quot; identity and practices of Code4Lib, as thus far construed/assumed<br />
* Avoid paying fee for fiscal sponsor services<br />
* Choose to implement a different scale/structure for annual meeting. For example, the community could elect to:<br />
** focus on more but smaller events, such as regional meetings<br />
** only hold a large conference when a sufficiently large institution steps up to role of &quot;fiscal host&quot;<br />
* Deliberately limit pool of donors to Code4Lib, thereby simplifying questions relating to accepting corporate money<br />
<br />
The informal nature of Code4Lib, as a ''community'' not an ''organization'', has thus far been a central and defining aspect of its culture. As stated at the Code4Lib website About page, &quot;Things get done because people share ideas, step up to lead, and work together, not because anyone is in charge.&quot;https://code4lib.org/about The lack of an ongoing formalized arrangement for handling financial responsibility for the annual meeting may be seen as a manifestation of this culture; ie of the community’s preference for allowing LPCs to step up to recruiting a new fiscal host each year, instead of designating an official formalized financial arrangement to be in charge of this responsibility.<br />
<br />
At present, Code4Lib provides (in some respects) low barriers to participation and even lower barriers to temporarily or permanently reducing one's level of participation. This, in turn, means that the community has no obligation to run a big annual conference. The lack of obligation means that current practice gives the community a substantial degree of freedom and flexibility. Based on this, the community could use this opportunity to closely examine options for hosting conferences, and make a conscious and explicit decision about what kind of structure it believes to be most effective in serving the current needs of the community. For example, Code4Lib could decide to only run the big annual conference whenever a sufficiently large institution is willing to host it, or could intentionally decide to focus on running more but smaller events that present significantly less financial risk to their hosts, treating the decision to occasionally run a big one as one that is done mindfully, not just because it's what we've always done.<br />
<br />
====== Cons: Limitations of Current Practice ======<br />
<br />
The FCIG has identified the following arguments in favor of changing current practice:<br />
<br />
* Demand for attendance/participation in Code4Lib annual meeting has thus far necessitated big-budget conference venue and arrangements, which is unsupported by the current practice<br />
* Time, work, and frustration of &quot;rebuilding from scratch&quot; each year for LPCs<br />
* With current practice, Code4Lib imposes financial risk and extra work on our own institutions and partners each year, and depends upon this goodwill rather than assuming financial responsibility for our own decision to host a large annual conference<br />
<br />
Although an argument could be made for choosing to limit the growth of the annual meeting, there is clearly demand for a large, annual Code4Lib conference — the growth of the conference from its humble beginnings demonstrates that, as evidenced by steady yearly increases in amounts of conference funds raised (and corresponding growth in allocated budgets), and registration demand for the Code4Lib conference.<br />
<br />
One of the biggest drawbacks of the current approach is the burden imposed each year on the local planning committee to find a fiscal host for the conference. Repeating this process from scratch every year is time- and labor-intensive for the volunteer members of the planning committee. Furthermore, as the community has improved how it runs the annual conference, there are several things being done nowadays that have made the transition from being nice-to-have to be necessary to fully adhere to community values, including more accessibility services, providing numerous diversity scholarships, and providing childcare,<br />
<br />
Additionally, the financial risk assumed by the library or library-related organization who takes it on represents a substantial liability for them, and increases each year as the conference budget increases. Although funds collected have exceeded the costs for each Code4Lib conference so far, in the event that a conference failed to meet its expenses, the local fiscal host would be responsible for covering all of the costs of the conference. Potential sources of risk that could lead to a failed conference include any event or circumstance that causes a sudden or unrecoverable loss in attendance, such as a sudden economic downturn, a natural disaster, or shifting political or legal circumstances such as have occurred in many states in recent years, which pose challenges for prospective attendees seeking funding to participate in the event.<br />
<br />
As an example, the 2017 conference is expecting expenditures on the order of $250,000; the 2016 conference spent over $200,000, and the 2014 conference spent roughly $100,000.<br />
<br />
Finally, there is also no reason to expect that the cost of hosting a Code4Lib conference will necessarily increase monotonically. For example, some host institutions may be able to offer sufficient function space without having to rent it; others may be situated in restaurant-rich areas where it would be plausible to only provide beverage service during the day; in other areas, venues simply charge less. However, it remains the case that hosting the annual Code4Lib conference is an expensive proposition, and one where the financial liability is borne entirely by the host institution.<br />
<br />
=== Option 2: obtain ongoing fiscal sponsorship from an external organization ===<br />
<br />
====== Pros: Possible Benefits of an Ongoing, Long-term fiscal sponsor for Code4Lib ======<br />
<br />
The motivation for securing an ongoing, long-term fiscal sponsor would be to try to address some of the limitations of status quo noted above, and to realize the following potential benefits:<br />
<br />
* Avoid having to renegotiate the process of finding and recruiting an organization to be &quot;fiscal host&quot; for the conference every year. This would save work and time for local planning committees, who could potentially direct then their energy to other purposes for Code4Lib<br />
* Enable longer-term planning by Code4Lib<br />
* Possibly widen the range of host sites for conferences, by opening up participation by organizations who would not have the resources necessary for recruiting a local &quot;fiscal host&quot;<br />
* Add mechanisms that would promote greater financial transparency<br />
* In some fiscal arrangements, another possible benefit would be to enlarge the pool of potential donors to Code4Lib, through the ability to accept donations from organizations requiring 501c3 status for donating<br />
** A larger donor pool could also, however, introduce a need for determining what kinds of guidelines and limitations Code4Lib might choose to set, relative to corporate sponsorship<br />
<br />
====== Cons: Arguments against Option 2 ======<br />
<br />
* While both ALA/LITA and DLF/CLIR have made it clear that they would respect the independence of Code4Lib, consideration must be given to what could happen if an external fiscal sponsor were to run into financial difficulty or shut down.<br />
* An external organization could fail to provide services in a timely or effective fashion.<br />
* The existence of a pot of money that is maintained from year to year would likely lead to the community having to make decisions about how to spend it for purposes beyond the annual conference. Some of the implications of that are explored below.<br />
<br />
=== Option 3: Formation of Code4Lib as a non-profit organization ===<br />
<br />
====== Pros: Possible benefits of forming Code4Lib as an independent, non-profit organization ======<br />
<br />
Establishing a non-profit, tax-exempt organization to be a fiscal home for the annual conference would provide certain financial benefits, including:<br />
<br />
* Increased financial transparency of the annual conference<br />
* Independence from external affiliation<br />
* Lower costs for purchasing certain services.<br />
* Greater potential for gathering donations and sponsorships, as donors will be able to write off a portion of their donation on their taxes.<br />
* Greater access to grants.<br />
* The ability to hold property and reuse equipment from year to year.<br />
* The ability to sign long-term contracts.<br />
* The ability to plan conferences more than one year out and potentially lock in lower rates.<br />
<br />
A non-profit organization would also be able to assume liability for the conference, making it possible to hold Code4Lib without imposing tens of thousands of dollars of risk on host institutions. This, in turn, could increase the number of potential host sites and local planning committees.<br />
<br />
An NPO would also improve the overall financial transparency of the annual conference. Historically, a great deal of information has been passed along from conference to conference, but there is nothing that requires (particularly in a legally enforceable manner) that an LPC provide financial details or be answerable to any entity other than the sponsor institution that is signing the contracts. An NPO, however, would be legally required to make various public financial disclosures, and the by-laws could be written to give members extensive rights of inspection.<br />
<br />
Code4Lib qua non-profit organization would enjoy greater freedom of action, being answerable only to its membership, its bylaws, and to the relevant legal authorities. The community could at any time choose spend its money for any lawful purpose it sees fit without having to secure permission from an external organization. Such purposes could include compensating people and institutions for hosting Code4Lib resources, developing tools and services or sustaining them (e.g., the job posting database), paying for more services from Slack, funding scholarships, and so forth.<br />
<br />
====== Cons: Arguments against forming Code4Lib as an independent, non-profit organization ======<br />
<br />
Forming an official organization would require a number of departures from current/historical practice by Code4Lib, some of which may be viewed by the community as significant drawbacks, including:<br />
<br />
* a commitment to tasks that need to be performed by some members<br />
* the potential for a hierarchy of tasks and responsibilities performed by/allocated to some members<br />
* the potential for scope creep in Code4Lib’s commitments<br />
* accumulated funds would require management and decision-making regarding disbursement<br />
<br />
Establishing a non-profit, tax-exempt organization would require that the community pay certain costs in order to form the entity, including legal and filing fees. It would also be necessary to pay costs annually, including filing fees, preparing tax returns, and undergoing audits.<br />
<br />
A non-profit organization would also require more work to administer and keep up. This would be a qualitative change, not merely an increase in the amount of work. At present there are no ongoing activities that Code4Lib members perform that the community is required to do. A member may choose to help edit the journal, or not; a group of members may choose to host an event, or not, without any legal obligations until a venue contract is signed. However, an incorporated non-profit organization would at minimum need to have at least one official meeting each year, file paperwork, and pay registration fees. If the community chose to shut down the NPO, doing so would take some work, and it would likely be necessary to identify another NPO to receive any funds.<br />
<br />
The existence of an NPO could also lead to unpredictable changes to how the community governs itself, both for good and ill. A membership-based NPO that had a fully democratic decision-making process (e.g., where all members are automatically members of the board) is different from a community where folks can drop in and out any time. Since some day-to-day functions would inevitably have to be delegated (e.g., members cannot ''all'' be able to sign checks, even if the membership as a whole holds ultimate authority on expenditures), there would necessarily need to be a process (presumably via election) for choosing officers — and that would be a significant change.<br />
<br />
An NPO would potentially also be subject to scope creep. On the one hand, this could be construed as a neutral observation: if the community chooses to establish an NPO for the sole purpose of providing an ongoing fiscal sponsor for the annual conference, but later democratically chooses to perform more activities, so be it. On the other hand, an increase to the number of activities that a Code4Lib non-profit organization performs could lead to a reduction of focus on whatever the community considers Code4Lib's core missions to be.<br />
<br />
The existence of an NPO as a central organization holding a pot of money would likely require the community to answer certain questions with respect to the multitude of decentralized activities that have and will be done under the Code4Lib banner. As a hypothetical example, some or all of the regular regional meetups might benefit from having access to funding from the NPO, and it would be reasonable for community members who run the regional events to request support—and for the NPO in turn to request a portion of any surpluses in exchange for such support. Such a scenario may or may not be particularly difficult to work through, but would regardless become something that would require community members to make an effort to decide about.<br />
<br />
== E. Summary ==<br />
<br />
====== Recommendations for Action ======<br />
<br />
It is the view of various [https://wiki.code4lib.org/Fiscal_Continuity#Members members] of the Fiscal Continuity Interest Group that maintaining the status quo presents a risk to the long-term success of the annual conference, and we consequently recommend that the community consider alternatives.<br />
<br />
We propose the following process and time-table for the community to make a decision:<br />
<br />
==== January and February 2017 ====<br />
<br />
* '''Online Community Discussion.''' Discuss this report and the various options it explores via the Code4Lib mailing list, Slack, and IRC. Representatives from LITA and the DLF will be available to answer questions and participate in the discussion.<br />
* '''Contribute Questions to the Wiki.''' To ensure a thorough and inclusive evaluation process, the FCIG suggests that anyone with questions or concerns about any or all of the options discussed post these to a page created for this purpose within the FCIG section of the Code4Lib wiki.<br />
<br />
==== March 2017 (During the 2017 Code4Lib conference) ====<br />
<br />
* '''Online and in-person Discussion. '''Continue the discussions in person and via streaming. The FCIG has made arrangements to hold breakout sessions as well as a Birds of a Feather meeting on Thursday, March 9, and is working with the 2017 LPC to ensure that the Birds of a Feather meeting is live-streamed.<br />
<br />
==== Shortly after the conference ====<br />
<br />
* '''Community Vote.''' Hold a community vote via the Diebold-o-tron to decide among the following options:<br />
** Maintain the status quo<br />
** Enter into negotiations with LITA or CLIR.<br />
** Form an independent non-profit organization<br />
** Do something else as per any serious proposals made during the discussions in January, February, and March 2017<br />
<br />
==== Moving Forward ====<br />
<br />
* '''Implementation'''. If the outcome of the Diebold-o-tron community vote indicates a consensus to do something other than maintain the status quo, implementing the community's choice would require action on the part of one or more people. Consequently, the FCIG recommends that prior to the vote that people put themselves forward as volunteers for an implementation group for one or more of the options.<br />

<div>Code4Lib Fiscal Continuity Interest Group Report<br />
<br />
23 January 2017<br />
<br />
== A. Executive Summary ==<br />
<br />
This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Code4Lib Fiscal Continuity Interest Group (FCIG) to the Code4Lib community, to assist the community in collectively deciding how we may best achieve ongoing, sustainable fiscal responsibility for the Code4Lib annual meeting/conference.<br />
<br />
The challenge addressed in this report is that the current process of recruiting each year an external &quot;fiscal host&quot; to bear the burden of financial responsibility for the Code4Lib Conference imposes a very high cost in terms of work, time, and financial risk for those who make the conference possible for the community: the local planning committees and the host institutions. Many community members have expressed significant concern about whether this cost constitutes an unacceptable burden, by hindering the long-term sustainability of the conference, and undermining the overall soundness of the Code4Lib community.<br />
<br />
From June-Dec 2016, the Fiscal Continuity Interest Group of Code4Lib explored a wide range of options for alternative approaches/ways to make running the annual meeting/conference more fiscally sustainable.In this report we present an overview of our investigation, summarizing current practice as well as the strongest options for alternative approaches that we identified. To inform the community’s evaluation of the choices presented here, we first outline the requirements for maintaining the status quo, and then the requirements for implementation for each alternative approach. Based on these requirements and/or possible terms for each option, we then analyze of the pros and cons for each scenario.<br />
<br />
Broadly categorized, the three options discussed in this report are:<br />
<br />
* Option 1: maintain the existing practice of local conference planning committees seeking a new &quot;fiscal host&quot; each year<br />
* Option 2: implement a formalized, ongoing fiscal sponsor arrangement with an organization external to Code4Lib<br />
* Option 3: seek out non-profit organizational status for Code4Lib<br />
<br />
====== Structure of the Report ======<br />
<br />
Section B, &quot;Introduction&quot; provides background to the report, by describing the problem of fiscal hosts for the Code4Lib conference, and the formation, objectives, and working process of the FCIG.<br />
<br />
Section C, &quot;Findings&quot; outlines in objective terms the requirements for implementation of each of three options, providing descriptions of:<br />
<br />
# current practice (&quot;fiscal hosting&quot; for the annual Code4Lib meeting),<br />
# proposed terms for fiscal sponsorship offered by two external organizations<br />
# the process required to form Code4Lib as an independent NPO<br />
<br />
Section D, &quot;Analysis&quot;, presents summaries of the strongest arguments for and against each of these options.<br />
<br />
Section E concludes the report with our recommendation to the community for a process and timetable to collectively discuss this issue online and in person during January-March 2017, to evaluate the options we have presented, in addition to any other serious proposals that community members may make. e recommend that, following that discussion, the community hold a vote in order to select one of those options and identify volunteers to implement it.<br />
<br />
== B. Introduction ==<br />
<br />
====== Statement of Problem: Need for Financial Responsibility for Code4Lib Conference ======<br />
<br />
Code4Lib is has no legal status as an organization incorporated or registered with a government entity, but is instead a volunteer-driven collective. Since Code4Lib is not an official organization, it is not possible for Code4Lib to assume legal responsibility for its own expenses incurred to hold the community’s annual meeting, which began in 2006. Over the eleven years since the first Code4Lib meeting, what has become &quot;[https://code4lib.org/conference the annual Code4Lib Conference]&quot; has been hosted by a succession of libraries, each of which has signed contracts to secure venues, hotel accommodations, and services. This means that as a consequence of hosting the event, each host institution has also played the role of “fiscal host”, and has assumed liability for those contracts.<br />
<br />
During this time, the annual meeting as an event has grown steadily in size and complexity, into a significant financial undertaking for these fiscal hosts. In the most recent years, the conference has regularly attracted over 400 attendees and has had a budget in the low six figures. This growth of budgets has a direct effect on the amount of risk that the fiscal host takes on in assuming financial responsibility for contracts: in the event of an unexpected cancellation of the event, it is common for hotel and venue contracts to have significant cancellation penalties.<br />
<br />
One consequence of this increased risk as the conference has grown is that the potential pool of hosts has shrunk, because there are fewer libraries and related institutions who are in a position to take on the financial risk involved in providing a fiscal host for the Code4Lib Conference. Additionally, such risk should not be minimized as an issue, in terms of potential consequences for individuals involved in conference planning, or long-term outcomes for the community. In the worst case, the financial failure of a meeting could result in broad unwillingness to host future meetings, and professional and personal consequences for any community members employed by the host institution. There has also been at least one recent case in which a local planning committee had plenty of volunteers capable of planning and running the meeting but was unable to find a host institution willing to assume the financial liability.<br />
<br />
This situation has prompted engaged discussion among community members about how this approach to organizing and funding the annual meeting, as well as the increasing expense associated with the conference as it grows, reflects our purpose and values as a community. The concerns expressed speak to different aspects of the ideals and goals that are fundamental to Code4Lib.<br />
<br />
The purpose of this report is to provide concrete options for our community to consider as we assess the practical realities and trade-offs between the advantages of taking on increased financial responsibility and &quot;overhead&quot;, and the imperative to maintain the core purpose and values of Code4Lib as an independent, open, and responsive community.<br />
<br />
====== Formation of the FCIG ======<br />
<br />
The fiscal continuity interest group began in July 2016 in response to a call for volunteers to form a working group to explore options for &quot;setting up something that can act as an ongoing fiscal host for the annual Code4Lib conference&quot;, which was part of an email listserv discussion begun in June of 2016 about [http://serials.infomotions.com/code4lib/archive/2016/201606/1399.html &quot;formalizing Code4Lib&quot;]; and from a [http://serials.infomotions.com/code4lib/archive/2016/201606/1493.html call by Coral Sheldon-Hess] for folks to &quot;self-nominate, to join a group to investigate making Code4Lib fiscally sustainable.&quot;<br />
<br />
In the June 2016 listserv discussion, discussion centered on questions about how to best reconcile Code4Lib’s long-standing identity as a community of individuals without hierarchy, bylaws, or official leadership roles, with the practical demands of organizing the annual Code4Lib conference. How could Code4Lib as a &quot;loosely-affiliated community,&quot; formed for the purpose of sharing information and ideas apart from any mandated or official structure, now manage the financial responsibility for the conference that grew out of these original informal community discussions? The FCIG tasked itself with exploring options for alternative approaches/ways to make Code4Lib more fiscally sustainable, particularly with respect to running the annual meeting/conference.<br />
<br />
====== FCIG Process ======<br />
<br />
The FCIG shared communications via a Google group list, and met via videochat 1-2 times per month from July 1, 2016 - Dec. 23, 2016. [https://wiki.code4lib.org/Fiscal_Continuity#Meetings Meeting notes] are shared at the FCIG wiki page within the main Code4Lib wiki.<br />
<br />
In initial discussions, the group brainstormed many potential options to explore as ways for Code4Lib to move forward in establishing, or determining not to establish, an ongoing fiscal entity; the FCIG wiki page contains an [https://wiki.code4lib.org/Fiscal_Continuity#Fiscal_Structures extensive list] of these possibilities. Group consensus determined which of these preliminary possibilities to gather more information about. Individuals volunteered to do the work of investigating each option. In order to provide a consistent and comprehensive template for discussions with potential fiscal sponsors, Coral Sheldon-Hess compiled a list of questions which was reviewed and agreed upon by the group. This list is included in the Appendix section of this report.<br />
<br />
== C. Findings ==<br />
<br />
This section outlines the practical requirements for implementation or continuation, for each of three options:<br />
<br />
# maintaining the status quo of fiscal hosting<br />
# obtaining ongoing fiscal sponsorship (ie, terms offered by external organizations approached by the FCIG)<br />
# forming Code4Lib as a non-profit organization<br />
<br />
=== Option 1: Maintain the status quo ===<br />
<br />
====== Description of Current Practice ======<br />
<br />
At present, Code4Lib has no legal status and is not an official organization. In one sense, &quot;Code4Lib&quot; does not exist; there is no governance structure nor even any guidelines for membership. The Code4Lib Conference does have a Code of Conduct that applies to individuals who pay a registration fee to attend this event, but otherwise there are no rules for what Code4Lib is or what its members do. In another sense, Code4Lib is an active and significant professional group: in addition to the annual conference, there are a number of regional meetings each year, the publication of the Code4Lib journal, and the maintenance of a variety of communications forums.<br />
<br />
The fundraising process employed for the annual Code4Lib meeting reflects the community’s DIY traditions. Recent total budgets for the annual Code4Lib conference have exceeded $250,000, with roughly half of the cost covered by sponsor donations and half by registration fees. These contributions are secured through the work of a Code4Lib Sponsorship Committee, which self-nominates, forming each year as a group of volunteers who spontaneously reply to a call on the Code4Lib listserv. The Sponsorship Committee follows the successful precedents established by the actions of previous years/committees, but has no official guidelines or instructions. However, the LPC will typically pay close attention to the actions of the Sponsorship Committee, as it is ultimately the responsibility of the institution that is hosting Code4Lib to cover any shortfalls. Members of the Sponsorship Committee sign up to take individual responsibility for contacting potential donors, who are chosen from lists of previous years’ donors, as well as brainstormed by the Sponsorship Committee each year based on the committee members’ own contacts, or the geographic location of the conference that year. Perhaps the only limitation on donors is that they must be institutions that do not have requirements for donating only to 501(c)(3) status organizations, because Code4Lib does not have this status.<br />
<br />
Since Code4Lib is not an official organization, and therefore does not have any legal capacity to hold funds or to assume responsibility for contracts, it has been necessary each year to secure an agreement from another legal entity willing to take fiscal responsibility for conference expenses (the &quot;fiscal host&quot;). The fiscal host has often been the library or organization that is supplying space for the conference, but that need not be the case. Every year the work of finding and recruiting the fiscal host has been done by local planning committees, who have usually turned to institutions in their own geographic area willing to perform this service. In addition to signing contracts and bearing the financial liability of the contract, the fiscal host has typically done the conference bookkeeping as well.<br />
<br />
Code4Lib has so far been fortunate in the successful hosting of conferences, and has benefited from the goodwill of the community by receiving support from institutions willing to voluntarily provide fiscal hosting. However, these fortuitous circumstances are by no means a given in events planning, and the willingness thus far of institutions to act as fiscal hosts does not mean that the risk an institution takes on should be discounted.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the need to secure a new fiscal host each year can add substantial complexity to the planning process, in the event of any irregularities in determining a host site. Preparations for the 2017 conference provide an example of the kind of complications that can ensue, and the kind of liability that the fiscal host takes on. The local planning committee for the 2017 conference includes members from southern California and the southeast U.S. from the original Chattanooga 2017 group. However, the fiscal host for the 2017 conference is UCLA, who is the entity that has signed contracts with an event planner, with the venue, with several hotels, and with providers of other services. As such, UCLA is ultimately responsible for paying on those contracts, and some of those liabilities would not disappear even if the 2017 conference were abruptly cancelled. For example, in order to secure sufficient hotel rooms for attendees, UCLA has guaranteed that a certain number of hotel-nights will be purchased by conference attendees; if a threshold is not met, UCLA would be obligated to pay the difference.<br />
<br />
The lack of independent financial agency means that Code4Lib has no bank account, and in principle each year's LPC has to prepare to start from scratch, which can make it a challenge to pay deposits to secure venue space. Fortunately, each conference gets some seed money from the previous year's LPC; for example, UCLA received over $30,000 from the surplus achieved by the 2016 conference. Additional funding comes from registration fees and sponsorships.<br />
<br />
=== Option 2: Obtain Ongoing Fiscal Sponsorship from an External Organization ===<br />
<br />
====== What Fiscal Sponsorship is and how it works ======<br />
<br />
In essence, fiscal sponsorship would secure for Code4Lib a similar relationship to the annual fiscal hosts, except for an ongoing duration, and in exchange for a fee paid by Code4Lib to the sponsor organization.<br />
<br />
[http://grantspace.org/tools/knowledge-base/Individual-Grantseekers/Fiscal-Sponsorship/fiscal-sponsorship Fiscal sponsorship] is a formal arrangement between a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a project, organization, group, or program that may lack tax-exempt status. Common functions provided by fiscal sponsors include assisting with fundraising, receiving charitable contributions on behalf of the sponsored project, and performing financial/administrative tasks such as handling contracts and disbursing funds. The website of the[https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/tools-resources/fiscal-sponsorship-nonprofits National Council of Nonprofits] provides a comprehensive overview of considerations for these arrangements, and links to many resources for more information on fiscal sponsorship. A specific example of a fiscal sponsorship agreement is the one [http://evergreen-ils.org/wp-content/uploads/gov/2012-07-01_evergreen-sponsorship-agreement_signed-by-all_scanned-by-bkuhn.pdf between the Software Freedom Conservancy and the Evergreen Project].<br />
<br />
For the purposes of this report, fiscal sponsorship would be a formal arrangement between the Code4Lib community, as defined for our purposes on the Code4Lib website [https://code4lib.org/about about page], and a sponsor organization, to provide the following minimum services:<br />
<br />
* Hold funds on behalf of Code4Lib<br />
* Sign contracts with entities providing services for the annual conference, including professional event managers, conference venues, and hotels.<br />
* As signatory, assume direct financial liability for these contracts. This means that the fiscal sponsor assumes financial responsibility for the Code4Lib conference, thereby eliminating the need for the local planning committee to recruit an institution to be the &quot;fiscal host&quot; for the conference each year.<br />
<br />
The services outlined above focus on the minimum fiscal sponsorship responsibility necessary to support the annual Code4Lib conference, because so far that has been the extent of Code4Lib’s financial needs. If ongoing fiscal sponsorship is secured, however, this arrangement could potentially allow Code4Lib to also use these services for other purposes as designated by the community.<br />
<br />
====== Organizations Researched ======<br />
<br />
The FCIG obtained information from the following organizations about possible terms for fiscal sponsorship:<br />
<br />
# Fractured Atlas<br />
# LITA/ALA<br />
# Nercomp<br />
# CLIR/DLF<br />
# [http://www.fiscalsponsordirectory.org/ Fiscal Sponsor Directory]<br />
# Educopia<br />
<br />
Of this list, Fractured Atlas and Nercomp were determined not to be possible to pursue further. LITA/ALA and CLIR/DLF each offered possible terms for fiscal sponsorship arrangements with Code4Lib. The LITA/ALA and CLIR/DLF sections below outline these terms, and reflect these organizations’ responses to the list of &quot;Questions posed to potential Fiscal Sponsors&quot;, in Appendix A of this report.<br />
<br />
In addition to the individual organizations in #1-4, the FCIG also conducted a basic search within the online Fiscal Sponsor Directory, to get a sense of what arrangements other possible fiscal sponsors in this list might offer. The directory search provided a list of approximately ten organizations whose mission and sponsorship focus appear compatible with Code4Lib; these organizations could be examined more closely if Code4Lib wants to pursue a contract for fiscal sponsorship but elects not to choose one of the possibilities presented in this report. This list is at the FCIG wiki page.<br />
<br />
Finally, very late in the process, the FCIG also inquired with Educopia. We did not have time to complete this discussion, but this organization may be another possibility to consider, as a fiscal sponsor. The FCIG will provide an addenda to this report if we are able to gather more information about this possibility.<br />
<br />
====== Summary of Findings from Each Organization ======<br />
<br />
1. Fractured Atlas<br />
<br />
[https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/fiscal/ Fractured Atlas] (FA) focuses on arts and cultural sector endeavors, and offers fee-based fiscal sponsorship which provides the benefits of 501(c)(3) status to entities that do not have this tax status. Since the range of projects and organizations that FA sponsors encompasses a wide range of cultural-sector activities, the FCIG contacted FA to find out if Code4Lib could be considered for sponsorship, and/or to get recommendations for other options Code4Lib could consider. We contacted Fractured Atlas by phone August 11, 2016. The staff person we spoke to advised us that Code4Lib as an organization would not fall within the scope of Fractured Atlas’ work, and recommended against applying for sponsorship from FA. She recommended that Code4Lib look for a fiscal sponsor within the Fiscal Sponsor Directory. (http://www.fiscalsponsordirectory.org/)<br />
<br />
2. LITA/ALA<br />
<br />
===== Proposed Terms for Fiscal Sponsorship =====<br />
<br />
The Library Information Technology Association (LITA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), is willing to serve as a fiscal agent for the Code4Lib conference on either a short-term or long-term basis. There are two models under which this could happen:<br />
<br />
In the first model, ALA would act as an &quot;Association Management Firm&quot; for Code4Lib, where there would be a contract between the two organizations, and ALA would only handle the contracts for the conference. ALA would not be responsible for insurance, liability, or taxes. This is important to note, because ALA would require that a tax return be filed, which would have to be done by Code4Lib; and ALA’s tax-exempt status would not be part of the deal, since ALA would have no authority and would only act on behalf of Code4Lib. Although it wouldn’t be required, ALA would strongly recommend that Code4Lib incorporate in this scenario, or else the individuals would be personally liable and would have to pay taxes on any revenue.<br />
<br />
In the second model Code4Lib would need to become part of ALA and live within LITA. The advantages of doing this would be gaining ALA’s tax-exempt status and liability insurance, as well as some persistence from year-to-year, while the disadvantages would be paying ALA’s overhead rates and dealing with the bureaucracy. ALA’s overhead rate for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 will be 26.4% of gross revenue; there is the potential for it to change after that, but ALA has said it doesn’t anticipate the rate going above 26.4% at this time. Each year’s conference organizers would need to be LITA members, but they would be the only ones. Associate, Staff Support, and Friends dues levels are much less expensive than those for a degreed-librarian, so this might not be as expensive a proposition as it sounds.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there is no legal in-between or compromise between these positions, because &quot;fiscal agent&quot; isn’t a legal term, and ALA can’t assume liability for an event over which it has no authority. Legal contractual needs aside, LITA has no interest in telling Code4Lib how to operate, and they only have two staff members, meaning that they do not have capacity to run Code4Lib or even interfere with how it runs. LITA is confident that “we can create a Code4Lib bubble within LITA that puts as little bureaucracy on the group as possible,” but it would require a number of initial conversations to make sure both groups were comfortable with the details of the arrangement.<br />
<br />
Assuming the second model is the option we choose, Code4Lib could still use CONCENTRA Conference Management Services for our conferences. ALA/LITA would sign the contract with CONCENTRA, though Code4Lib would negotiate the details, since the committee would know what it wants. ALA’s lawyer would have to review the first contract; future committees could keep using the same document until there are changes, which would again be reviewed by the lawyer. When LITA does this for LITA Forum, there’s no cost because it is part of the overhead LITA pays to ALA.<br />
<br />
Although the legal language can be concerning, there are certain pieces that are incredibly beneficial; for instance, the language around the ability to cancel the conference with no penalty if changes (even potential ones) in local legislation threaten the safety of attendees.<br />
<br />
If Code4Lib chooses to partner with LITA/ALA, it would be best to do so for at least 2-3 years, to determine whether or not it is a good fit (and to make all of the paperwork worth doing). At that point Code4Lib would be free to continue with LITA/ALA, to find another fiscal sponsor, or to seek its own nonprofit status.<br />
<br />
# Nercomp<br />
<br />
The FCIG also reached out to NERCOMP (the NorthEast Regional Computing Program), but after discussion, concluded Code4Lib and NERCOMP were not a good fit.<br />
<br />
# CLIR/DLF<br />
<br />
===== Proposed Terms for Fiscal Sponsorship =====<br />
<br />
The Council on Library and Information Resources, the parent organization of the Digital Library Federation, has also offered possible terms for providing ongoing fiscal sponsorship for Code4Lib. The terms outlined below were discussed via email and phone conversations with Bethany Nowviskie, Director, DLF, and Sharon Ivy Weiss, Chief Operating Officer, CLIR, between October-December 2016. In these conversations, the FCIG provided via email an adaptation of the list of questions Coral prepared for potential sponsors (as discussed with LITA/ALA, outlined above). Quotations below are taken from emails written by Bethany Nowviskie in response to these questions, and are used with her permission.<br />
<br />
====== Time Frame ======<br />
<br />
CLIR/DLF would prefer a &quot;longer-term, multiple-year relationship&quot;, as a provider of ongoing fiscal sponsor services for Code4Lib, rather than a short-term arrangement such as a one-year minimum. On this point, CLIR’s response noted that the investment of time required by both groups to arrange and manage the transition to a fiscal sponsorship arrangement would simply mean that a one-year agreement would not be as worthwhile.<br />
<br />
====== Services Provided, MoU, and Conference Logistics ======<br />
<br />
Fiscal sponsor services provided by CLIR would include managing funds for Code4Lib, negotiating contracts and event insurance on the group’s behalf, and performing routine fiscal tasks such as creating audits and reports for the group’s funds upon request. DLF would continue to support the Code4Lib listserv and serve as a collegial point of contact with the Code4Lib community, in evolving the CLIR/DLF relationship. To specify and document expectations on both sides and formalize the fiscal sponsorship, CLIR requests that Code4Lib establish an MoU with CLIR.<br />
<br />
In terms of planning and organizational work for the annual Code4Lib conference, CLIR would not require any departure from the current structure of Code4Lib community volunteers self-organizing each year. For example, CLIR would not require or request that Code4Lib’s annual conference organizers be affiliated with CLIR/DLF member organizations. Also keeping with Code4Lib’s recent practice, CLIR would request that Code4Lib continue to hire CONCENTRA &quot;or another firm as a subcontractor for conference logistics — including all planning and event management not undertaken by local hosts and volunteers.&quot; This is because CLIR and DLF do not currently have adequate staffing to cover the conference-organizing services that CONCENTRA has provided to Code4Lib, and the recommended fiscal sponsor fee paid to CLIR would not be sufficient to cover these services.<br />
<br />
As Code4Lib’s ongoing fiscal sponsor, and more specifically as the signatory to contracts for conference expenses, CLIR would assume financial liability for Code4Lib’s annual conference. In order to limit the financial risks involved in this role, CLIR would strongly recommend/request that Code4Lib obtain event insurance for future conferences. CLIR has experience with purchasing event insurance for other conferences such as the DLF Forum, and can provide recommendations to Code4Lib about options.<br />
<br />
Regarding filing taxes and other accounting work, CLIR/DLF would perform routine financial tasks and accounting on Code4Lib’s behalf; this work would be included as part of CLIR’s overall legal accounting responsibilities as a non-profit organization. This means that CLIR/DLF would do the work of &quot;saving receipts, doing monthly financial analyses, filing annual tax returns, being professionally audited on a regular basis, etc., and Code4Lib would not have to file separate taxes or do anything extra in that regard.&quot;<br />
<br />
====== Fees and Financial Arrangements ======<br />
<br />
The fee structure and financial considerations that CLIR/DLF has proposed for the fiscal sponsor services described above have three elements and are &quot;largely designed to help put Code4Lib on stable financial footing:&quot;<br />
<br />
# CLIR/DLF would request payment of an annual fee of $5,000 as compensation for staff time and auditor fees required for fiscal sponsor services.<br />
# CLIR would request that any net proceeds left over after expenses for the 2017 Code4Lib conference be deposited into a reserve account, to begin to establish a financial &quot;nest-egg&quot; for the Code4Lib group, rather than be applied forward immediately to the 2018 conference. “These funds could be drawn upon for the 2018 conference if needed, but ideally would grow to a comfortable amount to supplement any future losses not covered by event insurance. The target amount to be reserved for emergency could be discussed as part of a Code4Lib/CLIR MoU.”<br />
# CLIR would request that conference budgets be established to allow for a second annual payment of at least $5,000 be deposited by Code4Lib into the &quot;nest egg&quot; account. The purpose of this annual payment would be “to help grow that account, and with the idea that, once it reaches its target size, it might be used — at your discretion — as a backstop budget for new initiatives or in the event that the community approaches CLIR/DLF to perform services beyond what’s outlined in our MoU and above the level of what we are able to do out of simple goodwill (major new infrastructure investments, etc).”<br />
<br />
====== Other Issues Addressed: Summary of CLIR’s Responses to Potential Sponsor Questions ======<br />
<br />
CLIR would not request any control over Code4Lib’s organizational/&quot;governance” processes, or that Code4Lib adopt CLIR’s or DLF’s bylaws.<br />
<br />
In terms of contact persons between Code4Lib and CLIR/DLF, CLIR expressed familiarity with Code4Lib’s current operational processes, and indicated that they would be fine with these processes continuing: &quot;Single point of contact, changing annually, and without a required connection to CLIR or DLF is fine. In short, the practice of having local organizing committees and rotating leadership over the conference and other activities that currently exists in Code4Lib would be acceptable. We work with some other groups who operate in this way, and were also comfortable taking on hosting of the Code4Lib listserv recently, knowing and appreciating how grassroots leadership happens in the community!&quot;<br />
<br />
CLIR has no objections to a decision by Code4Lib to hold future conferences in Canada, or to including international attendees at Code4Lib events. CLIR also noted that they recently had a successful experience holding a conference in Canada ([https://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/ 2015 DLF Forum]).<br />
<br />
DLF requests that all events they sponsor have a Code of Conduct, and noted that Code4Lib’s existing Code satisfies this requirement, and also expressed appreciation that Code4Lib’s Code of Conduct precedes [https://www.diglib.org/about/code-of-conduct/ the DLF’s].<br />
<br />
Regarding past or current experience as fiscal sponsor for other groups, CLIR has recently provided or currently provides ongoing fiscal sponsorship for conferences organized by the DLF, the [http://sites.tdl.org/openrepositories/ Open Repositories] organization, the[http://iiif.io/community/#participating-institutions International Image Interoperability Framework], and the [https://www.diglib.org/forums/2016forum/ndsa-digipres16/ National Digital Stewardship Alliance], and the [http://taiga-forum.org Taiga Forum], and is happy to provide contact names from these groups to Code4Lib. Since 20 July 2016, CLIR/DLF has also been hosting the Code4Lib listserv.<br />
<br />
As these conversations were a preliminary inquiry by the FCIG, CLIR also indicated that if Code4Lib would like to further explore fiscal sponsorship with CLIR/DLF, they would be happy to provide more details such as how staffing arrangements for Code4Lib’s bookkeeping would be handled, and discuss recommended target amounts for a &quot;nest egg&quot; reserve and specifics about access by Code4Lib organizers to financial records pertaining to the Code4Lib group and conference expenses.<br />
<br />
=== Option 3: Formation of Code4Lib as a non-profit organization ===<br />
<br />
====== What a non-profit organization is, and how this is different from Code4Lib now ======<br />
<br />
At present, Code4Lib is an unincorporated association by virtue of its status as a group of people working together for a lawful purpose. Because Code4Lib's activities are not done with a view towards profit, and any surpluses have historically been rolled over to run future conferences, Code4Lib is furthermore an unincorporated ''nonprofit'' association. As such, any activities performed by the community could result in individual liability to Code4Lib members (although in practice this is a non-issue, as host libraries are the ones signing contracts for annual conference activities) and Code4Lib in and of itself likely has no ability to sign contracts.<br />
<br />
An incorporated non-profit organization, i.e., registered in a U.S. state or Canadian province, would be able to sign contracts and would protect members from individual liability. Furthermore, Code4Lib's activities are such that it would likely qualify for U.S. federal tax exempt status.<br />
<br />
Some other formal organizational forms were considered in a more cursory fashion. For example, the community could choose to countenance the formation of a for-profit LLC or corporation to run the annual conference. However, the objections to putting Code4Lib's name in the hands of a private entity, no matter how trustworthy, are obvious.<br />
<br />
Another organization form that was briefly looked at is that of the World Science Fiction Society, an unincorporated literary society that runs the annual Worldcon and presents the Hugo Awards. The WSFS, by virtue of having a written constitution and ownership of various trademarks, is able to vet potential hosts for Worldcon and ensure a degree of financial transparency, although ultimately, financial liability for each Worldcon rests on its host committee (which typically establishes a non-profit corporation to protect its members from individual liability). The WSFS is governed democratically, as each year's Worldcon members become members of the WSFS and can participate in the annual business meeting. This report will not explore the WSFS further, but the FCIG does point out that the WSFS model might represent an approach for Code4Lib that, while essentially maintaining the status quo, would support better financial transparency.<br />
<br />
==== Requirements for Code4Lib to become a 501c3 ====<br />
<br />
Information here is drawn largely from a conversation with attorney Richard H. Bennett of FisherBroyles; while this report attempts to accurately reflect the substance of that conversation, it should not be construed as legal advice from Mr. Bennett.<br />
<br />
Several questions were asked during the conversation, and the summary here follows that order. Note that any specifics are based in the law of the state of Georgia; other states may offer somewhat different options for forming non-profit entities.<br />
<br />
===== Based on a description of Code4Lib's activity as a group organizing national conferences, what tax organization structure is preferable? =====<br />
<br />
There was a discussion of profit vs. nonprofit organization, and Bennett agreed that nonprofit organization makes more sense for Code4Lib. Under Georgia law, the most relevant type of nonprofit organization would be a nonprofit corporation (there are also nonprofit trusts, but are more complicated). Other jurisdictions are trying to establish nonprofit or low-profit LLCs, but those don't work in a tax-exempt situation. Georgia is currently considering establishing an option to form public benefit corporations, but this is not an available option yet.<br />
<br />
Bennett agrees that it would be worthwhile to pursue tax-exempt status were Code4Lib to form a non-profit corporation.<br />
<br />
===== What sorts of legal expenses can we expect to form a non-profit corporation? =====<br />
<br />
There are two sets of costs: one for the formation of entity, and one for maintaining tax-exempt status.<br />
<br />
For a Georgia nonprofit corporation, Bennett estimates about $1,200 to $1,800 in fees (includes $100 filing fee + $40 publication fee + $180 for corporate minute book and seal, with the rest for attorney costs).<br />
<br />
Nonprofit typically requires more customization than basic for-profits. There are two types of nonprofits corporations: membership-based and non-membership based. The membership form is probably more suitable for Code4Lib.<br />
<br />
There can be a board, for which the recommended size is 5 to 13 people. However, an option that might better suit Code4Lib's democratic nature would be to structure it so that every member of the nonprofit corporation is a member of the board.<br />
<br />
If we do that, everybody has a direct vote, although presumably the community would choose to delegate day-to-day business to a set of officers and conference organization to local planning committees. Also, in a model where every Code4Lib member is a member of the board, it would be important to set the quorum size for meetings wisely. We don't want to set it too high, otherwise ordinary business couldn't be done.<br />
<br />
The bylaws would establish the quorum, as well as nature of any standing committees and officer positions. Another question that the bylaws would have to answer: what are criteria for membership? It is not legally required to have a membership fee; instead, establishing a mechanism whereby people can sign up to say that they're Code4Lib member is sufficient. If we do it that way, Bennett recommends that there's a mechanism to require periodic confirmation of membership<br />
<br />
Tax-exempt status is separate from nonprofit status. Given that Code4Lib's annual budget, including the conference, is more than $25,000 a year, it would be necessary to use the long form.<br />
<br />
If a lawyer were to be wholly involved in managing the tax-exempt application, legal fees would be about $3,000 to $5,000. However, it would be an option for Code4Lib members to do most of the work in filling out the IRS paperwork and reduce direct costs.<br />
<br />
The IRS fee to file form 1023 or 1024 would be on the order of $850 (it would be $400 if average annual gross receipts were under $10,000).<br />
<br />
One question to answer would be whether a 501(c)3 or 501(c)6 is more suitable for Code4Lib.<br />
<br />
One requirement for applying for tax-exempt status is providing three years of financial statements:. The past three years of conference budgets would be sufficient to meet this requirement, and aggregate information is sufficient<br />
<br />
===== What sorts of activities must we undertake, to remain in compliance with legal regulations for whatever type of organization we might become? =====<br />
<br />
At minimum, a nonprofit organization must have an annual meeting to elect board and officers. This could be scheduled to occur during the time of the annual conference, but would not have to be. Also, there is no requirement that the meeting must occur in person.<br />
<br />
A nonprofit corporation would have to pay an annual filing fee and submit a tax return. Tax-exempt nonprofits would also have to file a federal form 990, which would become a public document.<br />
<br />
Proper corporate records (such as board and member minutes) should also be maintained to keep the entity's limited liability shield in place.<br />
<br />
== D. Analysis of Options ==<br />
<br />
This section summarize the advantages and disadvantages of each option, beginning in each case with a bullet-point list of pros, followed by a brief discussion of these points, then a bullet-point list of cons for that option, again followed by discussion.<br />
<br />
In evaluating these options, it is worth noting that Options 2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive; for example, Option 2 could be pursued as an interim solution, while the community further investigates whether to eventually implement Option 3.<br />

=== Option 1: Maintain the status quo ===<br />
<br />
====== Pros: Reasons to Maintain Status Quo ======<br />
<br />
Based on the factors described above, the FCIG has identified the following possible arguments for continuing with current practice:<br />
<br />
* Retain the informal &quot;''community'' not ''organization''&quot; identity and practices of Code4Lib, as thus far construed/assumed<br />
* Avoid paying fee for fiscal sponsor services<br />
* Choose to implement a different scale/structure for annual meeting. For example, the community could elect to:<br />
** focus on more but smaller events, such as regional meetings<br />
** only hold a large conference when a sufficiently large institution steps up to role of &quot;fiscal host&quot;<br />
* Deliberately limit pool of donors to Code4Lib, thereby simplifying questions relating to accepting corporate money<br />
<br />
The informal nature of Code4Lib, as a ''community'' not an ''organization'', has thus far been a central and defining aspect of its culture. As stated at the Code4Lib website About page, &quot;Things get done because people share ideas, step up to lead, and work together, not because anyone is in charge.&quot;https://code4lib.org/about The lack of an ongoing formalized arrangement for handling financial responsibility for the annual meeting may be seen as a manifestation of this culture; ie of the community’s preference for allowing LPCs to step up to recruiting a new fiscal host each year, instead of designating an official formalized financial arrangement to be in charge of this responsibility.<br />
<br />
At present, Code4Lib provides (in some respects) low barriers to participation and even lower barriers to temporarily or permanently reducing one's level of participation. This, in turn, means that the community has no obligation to run a big annual conference. The lack of obligation means that current practice gives the community a substantial degree of freedom and flexibility. Based on this, the community could use this opportunity to closely examine options for hosting conferences, and make a conscious and explicit decision about what kind of structure it believes to be most effective in serving the current needs of the community. For example, Code4Lib could decide to only run the big annual conference whenever a sufficiently large institution is willing to host it, or could intentionally decide to focus on running more but smaller events that present significantly less financial risk to their hosts, treating the decision to occasionally run a big one as one that is done mindfully, not just because it's what we've always done.<br />
<br />
====== Cons: Limitations of Current Practice ======<br />
<br />
The FCIG has identified the following arguments in favor of changing current practice:<br />
<br />
* Demand for attendance/participation in Code4Lib annual meeting has thus far necessitated big-budget conference venue and arrangements, which is unsupported by the current practice<br />
* Time, work, and frustration of &quot;rebuilding from scratch&quot; each year for LPCs<br />
* With current practice, Code4Lib imposes financial risk and extra work on our own institutions and partners each year, and depends upon this goodwill rather than assuming financial responsibility for our own decision to host a large annual conference<br />
<br />
Although an argument could be made for choosing to limit the growth of the annual meeting, there is clearly demand for a large, annual Code4Lib conference — the growth of the conference from its humble beginnings demonstrates that, as evidenced by steady yearly increases in amounts of conference funds raised (and corresponding growth in allocated budgets), and registration demand for the Code4Lib conference.<br />
<br />
One of the biggest drawbacks of the current approach is the burden imposed each year on the local planning committee to find a fiscal host for the conference. Repeating this process from scratch every year is time- and labor-intensive for the volunteer members of the planning committee. Furthermore, as the community has improved how it runs the annual conference, there are several things being done nowadays that have made the transition from being nice-to-have to be necessary to fully adhere to community values, including more accessibility services, providing numerous diversity scholarships, and providing childcare,<br />
<br />
Additionally, the financial risk assumed by the library or library-related organization who takes it on represents a substantial liability for them, and increases each year as the conference budget increases. Although funds collected have exceeded the costs for each Code4Lib conference so far, in the event that a conference failed to meet its expenses, the local fiscal host would be responsible for covering all of the costs of the conference. Potential sources of risk that could lead to a failed conference include any event or circumstance that causes a sudden or unrecoverable loss in attendance, such as a sudden economic downturn, a natural disaster, or shifting political or legal circumstances such as have occurred in many states in recent years, which pose challenges for prospective attendees seeking funding to participate in the event.<br />
<br />
As an example, the 2017 conference is expecting expenditures on the order of $250,000; the 2016 conference spent over $200,000, and the 2014 conference spent roughly $100,000.<br />
<br />
Finally, there is also no reason to expect that the cost of hosting a Code4Lib conference will necessarily increase monotonically. For example, some host institutions may be able to offer sufficient function space without having to rent it; others may be situated in restaurant-rich areas where it would be plausible to only provide beverage service during the day; in other areas, venues simply charge less. However, it remains the case that hosting the annual Code4Lib conference is an expensive proposition, and one where the financial liability is borne entirely by the host institution.<br />
<br />
=== Option 2: obtain ongoing fiscal sponsorship from an external organization ===<br />
<br />
====== Pros: Possible Benefits of an Ongoing, Long-term fiscal sponsor for Code4Lib ======<br />
<br />
The motivation for securing an ongoing, long-term fiscal sponsor would be to try to address some of the limitations of status quo noted above, and to realize the following potential benefits:<br />
<br />
* Avoid having to renegotiate the process of finding and recruiting an organization to be &quot;fiscal host&quot; for the conference every year. This would save work and time for local planning committees, who could potentially direct then their energy to other purposes for Code4Lib<br />
* Enable longer-term planning by Code4Lib<br />
* Possibly widen the range of host sites for conferences, by opening up participation by organizations who would not have the resources necessary for recruiting a local &quot;fiscal host&quot;<br />
* Add mechanisms that would promote greater financial transparency<br />
* In some fiscal arrangements, another possible benefit would be to enlarge the pool of potential donors to Code4Lib, through the ability to accept donations from organizations requiring 501c3 status for donating<br />
** A larger donor pool could also, however, introduce a need for determining what kinds of guidelines and limitations Code4Lib might choose to set, relative to corporate sponsorship<br />
<br />
====== Cons: Arguments against Option 2 ======<br />
<br />
* While both ALA/LITA and DLF/CLIR have made it clear that they would respect the independence of Code4Lib, consideration must be given to what could happen if an external fiscal sponsor were to run into financial difficulty or shut down.<br />
* An external organization could fail to provide services in a timely or effective fashion.<br />
* The existence of a pot of money that is maintained from year to year would likely lead to the community having to make decisions about how to spend it for purposes beyond the annual conference. Some of the implications of that are explored below.<br />
<br />
=== Option 3: Formation of Code4Lib as a non-profit organization ===<br />
<br />
====== Pros: Possible benefits of forming Code4Lib as an independent, non-profit organization ======<br />
<br />
Establishing a non-profit, tax-exempt organization to be a fiscal home for the annual conference would provide certain financial benefits, including:<br />
<br />
* Increased financial transparency of the annual conference<br />
* Independence from external affiliation<br />
* Lower costs for purchasing certain services.<br />
* Greater potential for gathering donations and sponsorships, as donors will be able to write off a portion of their donation on their taxes.<br />
* Greater access to grants.<br />
* The ability to hold property and reuse equipment from year to year.<br />
* The ability to sign long-term contracts.<br />
* The ability to plan conferences more than one year out and potentially lock in lower rates.<br />
<br />
A non-profit organization would also be able to assume liability for the conference, making it possible to hold Code4Lib without imposing tens of thousands of dollars of risk on host institutions. This, in turn, could increase the number of potential host sites and local planning committees.<br />
<br />
An NPO would also improve the overall financial transparency of the annual conference. Historically, a great deal of information has been passed along from conference to conference, but there is nothing that requires (particularly in a legally enforceable manner) that an LPC provide financial details or be answerable to any entity other than the sponsor institution that is signing the contracts. An NPO, however, would be legally required to make various public financial disclosures, and the by-laws could be written to give members extensive rights of inspection.<br />
<br />
Code4Lib qua non-profit organization would enjoy greater freedom of action, being answerable only to its membership, its bylaws, and to the relevant legal authorities. The community could at any time choose spend its money for any lawful purpose it sees fit without having to secure permission from an external organization. Such purposes could include compensating people and institutions for hosting Code4Lib resources, developing tools and services or sustaining them (e.g., the job posting database), paying for more services from Slack, funding scholarships, and so forth.<br />
<br />
====== Cons: Arguments against forming Code4Lib as an independent, non-profit organization ======<br />
<br />
Forming an official organization would require a number of departures from current/historical practice by Code4Lib, some of which may be viewed by the community as significant drawbacks, including:<br />
<br />
* a commitment to tasks that need to be performed by some members<br />
* the potential for a hierarchy of tasks and responsibilities performed by/allocated to some members<br />
* the potential for scope creep in Code4Lib’s commitments<br />
* accumulated funds would require management and decision-making regarding disbursement<br />
<br />
Establishing a non-profit, tax-exempt organization would require that the community pay certain costs in order to form the entity, including legal and filing fees. It would also be necessary to pay costs annually, including filing fees, preparing tax returns, and undergoing audits.<br />
<br />
A non-profit organization would also require more work to administer and keep up. This would be a qualitative change, not merely an increase in the amount of work. At present there are no ongoing activities that Code4Lib members perform that the community is required to do. A member may choose to help edit the journal, or not; a group of members may choose to host an event, or not, without any legal obligations until a venue contract is signed. However, an incorporated non-profit organization would at minimum need to have at least one official meeting each year, file paperwork, and pay registration fees. If the community chose to shut down the NPO, doing so would take some work, and it would likely be necessary to identify another NPO to receive any funds.<br />
<br />
The existence of an NPO could also lead to unpredictable changes to how the community governs itself, both for good and ill. A membership-based NPO that had a fully democratic decision-making process (e.g., where all members are automatically members of the board) is different from a community where folks can drop in and out any time. Since some day-to-day functions would inevitably have to be delegated (e.g., members cannot ''all'' be able to sign checks, even if the membership as a whole holds ultimate authority on expenditures), there would necessarily need to be a process (presumably via election) for choosing officers — and that would be a significant change.<br />
<br />
An NPO would potentially also be subject to scope creep. On the one hand, this could be construed as a neutral observation: if the community chooses to establish an NPO for the sole purpose of providing an ongoing fiscal sponsor for the annual conference, but later democratically chooses to perform more activities, so be it. On the other hand, an increase to the number of activities that a Code4Lib non-profit organization performs could lead to a reduction of focus on whatever the community considers Code4Lib's core missions to be.<br />
<br />
The existence of an NPO as a central organization holding a pot of money would likely require the community to answer certain questions with respect to the multitude of decentralized activities that have and will be done under the Code4Lib banner. As a hypothetical example, some or all of the regular regional meetups might benefit from having access to funding from the NPO, and it would be reasonable for community members who run the regional events to request support—and for the NPO in turn to request a portion of any surpluses in exchange for such support. Such a scenario may or may not be particularly difficult to work through, but would regardless become something that would require community members to make an effort to decide about.<br />
<br />
== E. Summary ==<br />
<br />
====== Recommendations for Action ======<br />
<br />
It is the view of various [https://wiki.code4lib.org/Fiscal_Continuity#Members members] of the Fiscal Continuity Interest Group that maintaining the status quo presents a risk to the long-term success of the annual conference, and we consequently recommend that the community consider alternatives.<br />
<br />
We propose the following process and time-table for the community to make a decision:<br />
<br />
==== January and February 2017 ====<br />
<br />
* '''Online Community Discussion.''' Discuss this report and the various options it explores via the Code4Lib mailing list, Slack, and IRC. Representatives from LITA and the DLF will be available to answer questions and participate in the discussion.<br />
* '''Contribute Questions to the Wiki.''' To ensure a thorough and inclusive evaluation process, the FCIG suggests that anyone with questions or concerns about any or all of the options discussed post these to a page created for this purpose within the FCIG section of the Code4Lib wiki.<br />
<br />
==== March 2017 (During the 2017 Code4Lib conference) ====<br />
<br />
* '''Online and in-person Discussion. '''Continue the discussions in person and via streaming. The FCIG has made arrangements to hold breakout sessions as well as a Birds of a Feather meeting on Thursday, March 9, and is working with the 2017 LPC to ensure that the Birds of a Feather meeting is live-streamed.<br />
<br />
==== Shortly after the conference ====<br />
<br />
* '''Community Vote.''' Hold a community vote via the Diebold-o-tron to decide among the following options:<br />
** Maintain the status quo<br />
** Enter into negotiations with LITA or CLIR.<br />
** Form an independent non-profit organization<br />
** Do something else as per any serious proposals made during the discussions in January, February, and March 2017<br />
<br />
==== Moving Forward ====<br />
<br />
* '''Implementation'''. If the outcome of the Diebold-o-tron community vote indicates a consensus to do something other than maintain the status quo, implementing the community's choice would require action on the part of one or more people. Consequently, the FCIG recommends that prior to the vote that people put themselves forward as volunteers for an implementation group for one or more of the options.<br />

===Topics of interest===<br />
Prospective attendees shared these responses to the survey question "What topics would you like to see presented on?"<br />
<br />
* Digital preservation workflows.<br />
* Tools for improving information management capabilities<br />
* Blacklight<br />
* Digital preservation tools<br />
* Data visualization<br />
* Cyber security in libraries<br />
* Any Alma shops using import profiles? How are people managing their e-resources on a large scale? What cool ways are people enriching their records with non-library metadata - how are they doing this technically and what cultural changes are necessary to gain approval - is this a project with a specific scope or part of ongoing enrichment?<br />
* Discovery tool improvements, innovative ways to spotlight collections online<br />
* DPLA MAP as local data model<br />
* Bibframe and Drupal<br />
* I'd like to explore a career as a systems librarian, and I would love it if someone did a presentation on "what I wish I had known before I became a systems librarian" or "what you need to know to be a systems librarian" or "a day in the life..." or some similar overview. I recognize that 'systems librarian' can mean a bazillion different things, but I'm sure a pro could get to the core of it. Also, this would be very newbie-oriented, so maybe it's not appropriate for this meeting. Still, it's just an idea.<br />
* Open source coding and programming basics, archival description (EAD) tools and applications...<br />
* Linked data, data visualization, repositories, discovery environments<br />
* Linux, HTML5, Python, Javascript<br />
* Blacklight, Solr, Library location service<br />
* Video game design in libraries, particularly with teens; parallels between storytelling and video game design experiences. <br />
* TEI, text/data mining<br />
* Analytics, repository development, metadata enrichment, server administration, user interface testing results, complex RDF descriptive metadata modeling, etc.<br />
* Publication workflows in libraries<br />
* Digital humanities and archives, linked data, diversifying the profession(s), digital preservation and born digital materials<br />
* Sustainability planning, digital scholarship for subject liaisons, project development, hands-on coding/tool sessions<br />
* Linked open data<br />
* Digital curation, digital preservation, digital scholarship, born-digital preservation, digital collections. <br />
* Database and collections management-related such as open source technologies that can assist in these areas.<br />
* Coding for preschoolers/early elementary students, coding in school libraries<br />
* The potential of tech in libraries and beyond.<br />
* Web design; user testing; learning resources for junior-level web developers<br />
* Open source programs for collaborative writing, editing, and publishing. How to build on open source programs in your special area of interest. Programs and tools for data visualization. Programs and tools for digital exhibits. Programs for managing metrics. How to talk to programmers and software designers- how to explain your vision so the result is what was expected. What programs are most important for library staff to know about? Ruby on Rails, Python.....? The anatomy of a program.<br />
* Advantages of non-digital approaches.<br />
* Digital preservation approaches (such as variable media and crowdsourcing) and techniques (such as emulation), as well as strategies for teaching digital curation.<br />
* Asynchronous storage strategies. Advanced search tools for repositories on the web. Indexing metadata with tools/products other than Solr. All the topics.<br />
* Code for websites. RDF ontology for library and archives.<br />

<br />
====Presentations====<br />
15-20 minutes talks.<br />
<br />
# [[User:JulieSwierczek|Julie Swierczek]] - Digital Preservation for Everyone: A 15-Minute Romp through the OAIS Model<br />
# <br />
#<br />
<br />
====Lightning Talks====<br />
A lightning talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choice.<br />
<br />
# <br />
# <br />
# <br />
<br />
====Discussion Topics====<br />
List some topics you are interested in talking to others during breakout time.<br />
<br />
# Digital Preservation: Tools, Workflows, Policies, the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, etc. ([[User:JulieSwierczek|Julie Swierczek]])<br />
# <br />
#<br />
<br />
===Topics of interest===<br />
Prospective attendees shared these responses to the survey question "What topics would you like to see presented on?"<br />
<br />
* Digital preservation workflows.<br />
* Tools for improving information management capabilities<br />
* Blacklight<br />
* Digital preservation tools<br />
* Data visualization<br />
* Cyber security in libraries<br />
* Any Alma shops using import profiles? How are people managing their e-resources on a large scale? What cool ways are people enriching their records with non-library metadata - how are they doing this technically and what cultural changes are necessary to gain approval - is this a project with a specific scope or part of ongoing enrichment?<br />
* Discovery tool improvements, innovative ways to spotlight collections online<br />
* DPLA MAP as local data model<br />
* Bibframe and Drupal<br />
* I'd like to explore a career as a systems librarian, and I would love it if someone did a presentation on "what I wish I had known before I became a systems librarian" or "what you need to know to be a systems librarian" or "a day in the life..." or some similar overview. I recognize that 'systems librarian' can mean a bazillion different things, but I'm sure a pro could get to the core of it. Also, this would be very newbie-oriented, so maybe it's not appropriate for this meeting. Still, it's just an idea.<br />
* Open source coding and programming basics, archival description (EAD) tools and applications...<br />
* Linked data, data visualization, repositories, discovery environments<br />
* Linux, HTML5, Python, Javascript<br />
* Blacklight, Solr, Library location service<br />
* Video game design in libraries, particularly with teens; parallels between storytelling and video game design experiences. <br />
* TEI, text/data mining<br />
* Analytics, repository development, metadata enrichment, server administration, user interface testing results, complex RDF descriptive metadata modeling, etc.<br />
* Publication workflows in libraries<br />
* Digital humanities and archives, linked data, diversifying the profession(s), digital preservation and born digital materials<br />
* Sustainability planning, digital scholarship for subject liaisons, project development, hands-on coding/tool sessions<br />
* Linked open data<br />
* Digital curation, digital preservation, digital scholarship, born-digital preservation, digital collections. <br />
* Database and collections management-related such as open source technologies that can assist in these areas.<br />
* Coding for preschoolers/early elementary students, coding in school libraries<br />
* The potential of tech in libraries and beyond.<br />
* Web design; user testing; learning resources for junior-level web developers<br />
* Open source programs for collaborative writing, editing, and publishing. How to build on open source programs in your special area of interest. Programs and tools for data visualization. Programs and tools for digital exhibits. Programs for managing metrics. How to talk to programmers and software designers- how to explain your vision so the result is what was expected. What programs are most important for library staff to know about? Ruby on Rails, Python.....? The anatomy of a program.<br />
* Advantages of non-digital approaches.<br />
* Digital preservation approaches (such as variable media and crowdsourcing) and techniques (such as emulation), as well as strategies for teaching digital curation.<br />
* Asynchronous storage strategies. Advanced search tools for repositories on the web. Indexing metadata with tools/products other than Solr. All the topics.<br />
* Code for websites. RDF ontology for library and archives.<br />

You can join the waitlist via Eventbrite. We will release tickets as soon as anyone cancels. -- http://necode4lib2015.eventbrite.com<br />
<br />
'''Planning Committee''' - Matt Bernhardt (matt.j.bernhardt@gmail.com), Jeremy Prevost (jprevost@mit.edu), Joe Montibello (joseph.montibello@dartmouth.edu), Matt Sherman (matt.r.sherman@gmail.com), Abigail Baines (abaines@hampshire.edu), Jennifer Eustis (Jennifer.Eustis@lib.uconn.edu), Sharon Clapp (sclapp@ccsu.edu), Andromeda Yelton (andromeda.yelton@gmail.com), David Mayo (pobocks@gmail.com), Maura Carbone (mauraa@brandeis.edu), Christina Harlow (cmh2166@columbia.edu)<br />
<br />
===Logistics===<br />
====Transportation====<br />
* MIT can be reached by car, train, or bus. <br />
* If you are going to drive all the way to campus, MIT's parking information can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/facilities/transportation/parking/visitors/public_parking.html<br />
* Another popular option is to take the MBTA red line to campus, and get off at the Kendall/MIT stop. From there, it is a relatively short walk to building 34. On the map link above, the Kendall/MIT stop is just outside building E38. Parking is also available at the terminal stations on the red line - the easiest to reach if you are coming from outside Boston is probably Alewife in Arlington.<br />
* If you're arriving via bus, there are a number of lines that run by campus. Consult the MBTA website (or Google Maps) for more information.<br />
* We are also looking into helping arrange carpooling. More information to come.<br />
<br />
====Hotels====<br />
* If you're looking for a hotel room the night before / after, there are two hotels near campus - the [http://www.kendallhotel.com/ Kendall Hotel] and [http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/boscb-boston-marriott-cambridge/ Marriott Hotel], both on Main Street. There is no block of rooms, however, so please make whatever arrangements make sense for you.<br />

'''Planning Committee''' - Matt Bernhardt (matt.j.bernhardt@gmail.com), Jeremy Prevost (jprevost@mit.edu), Joe Montibello (joseph.montibello@dartmouth.edu), Matt Sherman (matt.r.sherman@gmail.com), Abigail Baines (abaines@hampshire.edu), Jennifer Eustis (Jennifer.Eustis@lib.uconn.edu), Sharon Clapp (sclapp@ccsu.edu), Andromeda Yelton (andromeda.yelton@gmail.com), David Mayo (pobocks@gmail.com), Maura Carbone (mauraa@brandeis.edu), Christina Harlow (cmh2166@columbia.edu)<br />
<br />
===Logistics===<br />
====Transportation====<br />
* MIT can be reached by car, train, or bus. <br />
* If you are going to drive all the way to campus, MIT's parking information can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/facilities/transportation/parking/visitors/public_parking.html<br />
* Another popular option is to take the MBTA red line to campus, and get off at the Kendall/MIT stop. From there, it is a relatively short walk to building 34. On the map link above, the Kendall/MIT stop is just outside building E38. Parking is also available at the terminal stations on the red line - the easiest to reach if you are coming from outside Boston is probably Alewife in Arlington.<br />
* If you're arriving via bus, there are a number of lines that run by campus. Consult the MBTA website (or Google Maps) for more information.<br />
* We are also looking into helping arrange carpooling. More information to come.<br />
<br />
====Hotels====<br />
* If you're looking for a hotel room the night before / after, there are two hotels near campus - the [http://www.kendallhotel.com/ Kendall Hotel] and [http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/boscb-boston-marriott-cambridge/ Marriott Hotel], both on Main Street. There is no block of rooms, however, so please make whatever arrangements make sense for you.<br />

==John Allspaw==<br />
John Allspaw (https://twitter.com/allspaw) is the Senior Vice President for Technical Operations at Etsy (http://etsy.com). Prior to that he built infrastructure for Salon, InfoWorld, Flickr, and others. His publications include "Web Operations" and "The Art of Capacity Planning". You can find his blog at http://www.kitchensoap.com/. <br />
<br />
As library development teams grow from single programmers writing "glue" scripts to small teams working together on mid size web apps and further to large development shops producing complex and large scale systems, they find themselves struggling with issues of scale. These issues of scale are not just with the systems being built, but with the operations of the team itself. Operations can often be overlooked during the daily routine of project meetings, writing code, fixing bugs, etc. John's insights on operations and capacity planning would be useful to the library development community, particularly for those in departments that are maturing from one or two programmers to mid-size or larger development teams.<br />

Founder of PandoDaily, tech journalist and author. I (Roy) saw her speak and she was awesome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Lacy<br />
<br />
== Jukka Pennanen & Mace Ojala ==<br />
<br />
Jukka Pennanen & Mace Ojala are the primary organizers of the Cycling For Libraries Unconference ( http://www.cyclingforlibraries.org/ )<br />
<br />
"Founded in 2011, the Cycling for libraries is an international cycling conference for librarians and library lovers. It aims to advocate libraries and increase awareness of the valuable services and resources that libraries offer to the community."<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to participate in this event last summer and I think it was an incredible experience. I think Jukka and Mace have a great perspective in how to organize a wide encompassing international library community. <br />
<br />
== Daniel Reetz ==<br />
<br />
Daniel Reetz is the mastermind behind http://www.diybookscanner.org/ . It is an incredible community building open source software and hardware for book scanning using affordable consumer equipment. The project has evolved incredibly over the last few years and now include beautifully hackerspace-made scanner kits. He seems like a great speaker and I believe his perspective would be different from the traditional academic/research library focus. <br />
<br />
== Kathy Sierra ==<br />
<br />
Kathy Sierra has been interested in the brain and artificial intelligence since her days as a game developer (Virgin, Amblin', MGM). She is the co-creator of the bestselling Head First series (finalist for a Jolt Software Development award in 2003, and named to the Amazon Top Ten Editors Choice Computer Books for 2003 and 2004).

== David Silver ==<br />
<br />
David Silver is an associate professor of media studies and environmental studies at the University of San Francisco where he teaches classes on media history, digital media production, and green media. David co-directs USF's Garden Project, a freshmen-to-senior living learning community built around an organic garden on campus. He blogs at http://silverinsf.blogspot.com/. He was the keynote at the TRLN Annual Meeting and talked about the importance of the Library as a keystone to his teaching of media studies, the Library as a keystone of collective curiosity and community action, and why we should enable students to contribute back to the Library. Some quotes I tweeted from his talk:<br />
<br />
* "Too often library instruction starts at library databases. Librarians, this has to stop." <br />
* "I want my seniors to contribute to the library, to give something back."<br />
* "Whenever there is community curiosity and collective action, that's where the library should be." <br />
<br />
I believe his keynote would be motivational in reflecting how what we do in Code4Lib is critical to Libraries support his mission as a professor and researcher, his students, and the community at large. Expect humor, humility, and creativity from David Silver.<br />
<br />
==Victoria Stodden==<br />
<br />
She is a co-founder of http://www.RunMyCode.org, an open platform for disseminating the code and data associated with published results, and enabling independent and public cloud-based verification of methods and findings, and an assistant professor of Statistics at Columbia University, and affiliated with the Columbia University Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering. She just recently gave a great keynote at Open Repositories. http://www.stanford.edu/~vcs/Bio.html<br />

<div>== Upcoming conference ==<br />
Planning has begun for a New England Code4Lib conference. <br />
<br />
[[NECode4lib 2012 Home]]<br />
<br />
The goal is to hold the conference at Yale University in September 2012. Planning committee members include:<br />
<br />
Matthew Beacom<br><br />
Michael Friscia<br><br />
Cindy Greenspun<br><br />
Michelle Hudson<br><br />
James Luker<br><br />
Mark Matienzo<br><br />

== Planning Tasks ==<br />
We have begun to develop a planning [[NEC4L:tasklist|task list]]<br />
<br />
== Planning Meetings ==<br />
=== 2012/01/27 ===<br />
<br />
Decisions:<br><br />
- Conference will be 2 days on October 26, 27 (Fri, Sat) at Yale. We will secure the lecture hall and additional rooms.<br><br />
- Registration limit will be 150<br><br />
- Format will be formal first day with keynote address, sessions, lunch, etc. Day 2 will be less formal, unconference, lightning, hackathon style. Birds of a feather (or birds not of a feather which is also fun) will get worked in somehow.<br><br />
- Reception at the end of the first day will be at CSSSI (http://csssi.yale.edu/) with food/beverages.<br><br />
- We all agree that we would like this to become an annual event with Harvard and Dartmouth in the mix as next hosts (order to be figured out later).<br><br />
- We will make all campfire conversations publicly accessible. Emails circulated amongst us (like this) will be considered “Not Public”.<br><br />
- We will post to the Code4Lib listserv throughout the planning process to let everyone know where we are at with it and also to help promote and keep interest in the event.<br><br />

<br />
<br />
=== Developing applications using REST web services ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Come ready to learn and code!<br />

==Half Day Morning==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Linkfest ===<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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!<br />

=== Knocking Down Silos: Tools and Approaches for Simplifying Discovery ===<br />
<br />
What strategies have you used to merge silos to give users a more streamlined search experience? How are libraries using tools like Drupal, Islandora, Dublin Core, Solr and Blacklight to make article, catalog and/or repository content discoverable via a single interface? If you’re interested in these issues, challenges and conundrums join us for a morning of thinking, dreaming and scheming. <br />
<br />
Speakers/Facilitators will be:<br />
- Thom Cox - Manager of Library Information Technology Services - Tufts University<br />
- Ken Varnum – Web Systems Manager - University of Michigan Libraries<br />
- Stephen Westman – Analyst Programmer, Emerging Technologies and Services - Oregon State University Libraries <br />

==Half Day Afternoon==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Git -r done === <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

=== Blacklight ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />

=== [[Digging into metadata: context, code, and collaboration]] ===<br />
<br />
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. <br />

=== Developing applications using REST web services ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Come ready to learn and code!<br />

==Half Day Morning==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Linkfest ===<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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!<br />

=== Knocking Down Silos: Tools and Approaches for Simplifying Discovery ===<br />
<br />
What strategies have you used to merge silos to give users a more streamlined search experience? How are libraries using tools like Drupal, Islandora, Dublin Core, Solr and Blacklight to make article, catalog and/or repository content discoverable via a single interface? If you’re interested in these issues, challenges and conundrums join us for a morning of thinking, dreaming and scheming. <br />

=== Git -r done === <br />
<br />
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.<br />

Hi all<br />
Cindy G. hello<br />
Kalee S. Hello<br />
Joseph M. Good morning!<br />
Randy S. Hi!<br />
Michelle H. Hi<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Ok, Matthew Beacom and Mark Matienzo could not attend today due to conflicts<br />
So I think we're all here Tito also could not attend<br />
10:05 AM<br />
first order of business is introductions<br />
which i suppose is taken care of pretty well in this format<br />
But i suppose what I was more interested in for an introduction is what you hope to come of this regional meeting<br />
So I will start, I'm hoping that this can kick off an annual regional get together and that we are able to start something long lasting. I think it would require us to remain at least partially on planning for the next couple years to keep this moving but home that this grows some legs of its own.<br />
I suppose i'll hand it over to Cindy, and then each just hands to to another, so Cindy, tell us your thoughts on this project.<br />
i'm Cindy, I work at Yale and am new in my position and to code4lib. I agree with Mike though. I hope that we can kick off a NE regional meeting that becomes yearly.<br />

Michael F.<br />
Kalee S.<br />

Michelle H.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
i am deaf and have spoken to many deaf folks. one of the things that we never know is when a person is done speaking.<br />
10:10 AM<br />
so, we developed codes to signify that we're done. sk means that I've stopped 'keying'...<br />
so, if we type that at the end of what we're saying, maybe it would help us with conversation. sk<br />
sounds good to me. sk<br />
Hi all - I'm a Systems Librarian at Yale. Like many, I didn't get into Code4lib this year (missed it by 6 hours or so). I'm also hoping we can start something regional that will be long-lasting. A place where we can exchange experiences / ideas / trials and make local connections to help make our collective work easier. sk<br />
Hi all - I'm the Manager of systems development in the office of information systems at the Harvard Library. We have 10 sw developers and 10 or more system librarians in OIS, plus several other library dev groups around Harvard who are potential participants. We'd love to foster more local collaboration and sharing of skills and ideas.<br />
I'd really like to see an event with lots of time for talk, meeting people, and informal sharing. sk<br />
Hi! I'm Michelle and I'm the data librarian at Yale. I've only been to one code4lib -- the midwest regional meeting at Notre Dame when I worked there. I noticed that a lot of attendees were interested in issues of research data management and digital preservation and while there are many "official" conference avenues to pursue those kinds of interests, the informal one-day get-together of several parties from a number of local institutions was really fun and productive. I'd like to have that opportunity again and would be glad to help plan for that kind of thing.<br />
My sister is deaf and I have fond memories of being five and using "sksksksksksksk" as a very-long-goodbye on the TTY. :) sk<br />
I'm Joe Montibello. I work at Dartmouth. (We have 2 programmers in the library, hiring two more soon.) I haven't been to C4L before, but I've heard good things about it. I'd also like to see this become self-sustaining at some point, and I think I'll be happy to help for a couple years to try and move it in that direction. I came here from a much smaller institution where there was no way I could have gotten funded to go to Seattle, so a local con seems like something that could reach a wider audience. sk.<br />
Michael F. ok cool<br />
Michael F.<br />
second order of business, communicating with the rest of the Code4Lib community<br />
I'm thinking that we can post the transcripts of these meetings to the list<br />
Mark Matienzo suggested an alternate list I didn't know about for planning, which could be a likely target<br />
10:15 AM<br />
does that sound like a good plan? granted we can cherry pick to leave out hellos and idle chit chat. sk<br />
Joseph M. sounds good to me. sk.<br />

Cindy G.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Kalee S.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Michael F.<br />
i think it is a good idea to post transcripts. i think we should use a smaller list, but what about an email to the larger population letting them know that we're doing this just so they may participate should they want to? sk<br />
Should we just post the transcripts to the list or make a public wiki-thing to host them on for (public) safe-keeping? I know we'll have Basecamp and whatnot for our own planning, but if other people want to refer to our notes... sk<br />
I think that works. We may also want to post more decision points when we meet them - like when a date for the get together is selected, etc. sk<br />
makes sense to keep details off the main c4l list, but share transcripts and invite more participants sk<br />
code4lib NW had a wiki page as well. sk ok, so the action item will be to setup a wiki representation of this group<br />
Joseph M. : ) http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/NEC4L<br />
Michael F.<br />
then post transcripts there and spam the code4lib list with link and when it is updated. maybe point out some highlights. sk<br />
Joseph M. I don't know if we can reuse that? sk.<br />
Michael F. perfect<br />
who wants to find out if we can use it? sk<br />
Joseph M. I can follow up on that.<br />
sk<br />
Michael F. ok great. sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
10:20 AM<br />
for internal communication amongst us, would you all like me to setup a basecamp site for posting things and just stick to emails for group discussion and then this for our bi-weekly. The group emails would be considered "not public" and not shared on any public platform. anything here would be considered public. any other rules we ought to apply to ourselves? sk<br />
Randy S. Works for me, sk<br />
Kalee S. Me too. sk<br />
Cindy G. works for me as well. sk<br />
Michelle H. Me also sk<br />
Joseph M. I can't think of any other rules, sounds good. sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
ok, we can tweak as we go along. I just wanted to setup expectations so we know when the world will know who said what.<br />
next order of business is location, am I right in assuming that Yale is the right place for this event? sk<br />
There have been interests in attending a conference at Yale on the main listserv, so I think we should stick with Yale.<br />
10:25 AM<br />
That works for me. I'd like to offer Dartmouth as a location sometime, but not ready to do that yet. sk<br />

Randy S.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Kalee S.<br />
Yale works for me. Love to do ti at Harvard some time too. sk I think Yale is good. sk Seems like we have a quorum. sk<br />
Michael F. ok, also good reason to keep this group together for the next few years. sk<br />
next is the possible dates<br />
if we hold this even in the library we have a lecture hall, which would be great<br />
catch is that it is not air conditioned<br />
so I think the ideal months would be May or September<br />
alternatively, we don't use that room and book another hall here, but that will come at a cost<br />
so before considering another venue, would May or Sept be good months? sk<br />
early june may work since it usually doesn't totally warm up until like June 10 around here...sk<br />
Michelle H. I think early May is better than early June. June is conference season. sk<br />
Kalee S. Given other major projects at Yale in May, I would prefer September. sk<br />
Randy S.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Late May or early June should give us plenty of time to plan, but alot of the work will fall on you at Yale...sk<br />
For May, keep in mind that it is the end of the semester for an academic year. September is the beginning of a semester. I agree with Kalee as we do have some major upgrades going on. September would be my vote.<br />
sk!<br />
10:30 AM<br />
I was thinking along the lines of "this fall," so I'd support a September time frame. sk.<br />
We'll need to defer to Yale logistics, I think. sk<br />
Michelle H. September sounds good. sk<br />
Joseph M. I agree, Randy! sk<br />
Michael F. ok, september-ish it is sk<br />
Randy S. Sept works. sk<br />
Michael F. lets talk format now<br />
Randy S.<br />
since it is the first, i think 2 days is reasonable where the second may not be a fully planned day<br />
i'm thinking kick off with a speaker and then sessions for the first day and then the second day run sort of an unconference<br />
i'm interested in other ideas. sk<br />
It important to have both very short presentations (5 min) and chances for longer ones. sk<br />
Joseph M. unconference/hackfest ++! also lightning round style presentations. sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Campfire: Today, January 27 Page 4 of 10<br />

Cindy G.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Kalee S.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
lightning rounds/poster sessions are usually where i learn the most, so i agree. sk<br />
i think two days would be nice. if we have smaller breakout sessions, we'll need to be sure smaller rooms are available in addition to the main meeting room which would be the lecture hall. sk<br />
It would be good if people can get alot out of just a one day trip, with 2 for those who can invest the time. sk<br />
I have Susan's backing for getting rooms (Susan is our University Librarian). sk<br />
Are you thinking week days or week end? sk<br />
I agree - lightening talks are key. Small groups could meet in our undergraduate library, if the rooms are available. sk<br />
i can check into availability of all rooms and get back to the group on possible dates/sk<br />
If we did two days, I think one day of programmed talks (or maybe half a day?) and one day for unconference/hackathon/lightning talks could work out, and people could even decide which aspect they want to attend if not both. sk<br />
Randy S. breakout rooms near the main hall are very useful sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H. Michael F.<br />
Randy S.<br />
it could be a fri/sat event. or a thurs/fri but I have to look into the hours of the library here and make sure we don't run up against the early closing hours. sk<br />
10:35 AM<br />
There's a 24 hour space and a big media wall in the CSSSI if we want to get crazy. sk<br />
we could do friday to 4:30 in the sterling library and a reception at CSSSI which would be kind of cool. sk<br />
I kind of like the Fri/Sat idea sk<br />
Michael F. that is because we get kicked out of Sterling at 4:45 on fridays. sk<br />
Randy S. On to the pub! sk<br />
Kalee S. CSSI reception +1 sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
yes, i'm thinking it could help some do two days if they don't mind taking their personal time for the "fun day". sk<br />
I'll ask Jill about the possibility of reception. We're definitely allowed to have food in the CSSSI, as well, so we could get light catering or just bring whatever. sk<br />
we don't have a formal budget but there is opportunity, also if we charge a registration fee, we could make it nice. sk<br />
if we do a fri/sat thing - it may be easier in getting rooms for a breakout session the next day (Sat) in Sterling as those rooms won't be booked.<br />
Michael F. true. sk<br />
Cindy G.<br />
would you like me to look at room availability for the month of Sept and get back to the group?<br />
Kalee S. Same with Bass rooms (which are attached to Sterling)<br />

https://yaleuniversitylibrary.campfirenow.com/room/471085/transcript/2012/01/27 1/27/2012<br />
Cindy G.<br />
sk<br />
(goodness, i'm the one who recommended sk and am so far the biggest delinquent).<br />
How many people can you handle? sk<br />
Randy S.<br />
Michael F. i was going to call you out on that :)<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Michael F.<br />
10:40 AM<br />
the lecture hall seats 100 comfortable and technically holds up to 150. sk<br />
with that we could handle at least 6 break out rooms in the library and I could probably get others. sk<br />
Do we have an estimate of how many people would show up? sk<br />
Maybe we need to see what interest there is - being so close to NY, plus all of us, 100 seems very tight sk<br />
actually make that 7, the lecture hall can be a break out room, there's a reception area outside of it we could use as common space, plus there's a cafe. sk<br />
Kalee S. We could limit registration to a certain number...sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
there is larger auditorium space I think we can easily get before 11am on a friday that can seat 250. sk<br />
if we hold it in august before classes begin, we can secure it anytime we want. that building has A/C. sk<br />
Randy S. we could poll the c4l list for interest, and also ask offline more locally. sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
10:45 AM<br />
if we post to the list that we chatted, came up with Sept as the time and ask who would like to attend, it might test the waters enough to know. sk<br />
i would be comfortable keeping it in the library if it is under 150. sk<br />
my opinion? anyone can say they're interested, but once logistics are presented (Date, times, venue), that's when folks know they're able to come.<br />
sk !<br />
Michael F. true, what if we pick a date now. Can we shoot for Sept 21/22?<br />
Randy S.<br />
Kalee S.<br />
sk<br />
I think a yes, no, maybe request for interest on "mid September, 2 days at Yale, Fri/Sat" would give good input.<br />
sk<br />
Sept 21/22 sounds good to me - enough time to get the semester started off, and for the weather to cool down. sk<br />
Randy S. And its not Rosh Hashonah... sk<br />
Michael F. 21 = international day of peace, 22 = first day of fall. sk<br />
Joseph M.<br />
I think that should work pretty well, with a yes/no/maybe. Do we need to push people to a poll/surveymonkey type thing or just "Everybody respond to Michael F." ? : )<br />

Joseph M.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Michael F. Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
i agree. i just sent an email to a colleague asking for availability for the main lecture hall on 9/21.<br />
sk sk<br />
10:50 AM<br />
yale just started some new survey service, this would be a good test for it assuming it is public. sk<br />
Is it easier for people to click a link and click a radio button and click submit or is it easier to email Mike and have him keep track? sk<br />
if not i'll survey monkey something together. sk<br />
I have a Qualtrics account already and I assume we can make public surveys since IT sent out a news item. sk<br />
Kalee S. I think a survey is more work for responders, but easier for Mike. :) sk<br />
Cindy G.<br />
survey takes my vote. I also checked on availability for two rooms that we could use as breakouts for 9/21 - both are wide open. i'll put a hold on those two rooms. sk<br />
Michael F. yeah, easy is relative. sk<br />
thanks Cindy. sk<br />
Randy S. survey give automated sumarries, so +1 sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
a second email to the list will be to call for proposals, i think that could go out soon. thoughts about that? sk<br />
Kalee S. I agree - survey +1 sk<br />
Randy S. Don't let me type the notices ;-) sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
lol survey +1, call for proposals, +1. Randy types notices, -1. ; ) sk<br />
i'm fluent in 7 programming languages, i only speak english goodly and can't spell to save my life. sk<br />
10:55 AM<br />
ok, final wrap up.<br />
next meeting we will follow up with secured spaces, we will hopefully have a wiki presence setup or secured and I will work on getting a formal budget.<br />
i will circulate drafts of two emails to hit the list with<br />
Michelle, can you draft a survey?<br />
Can we check and see if Qualtrics surveys are public for sure? I made a test one. https://yalesurvey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=S... sk<br />
Oh lookie there. sk<br />
Michael F. neat<br />
Michelle H. Do we want more information from respondents or to keep it simple? sk<br />
Joseph M. I just responded, can you see it? sk<br />
Campfire: Today, January 27 Page 7 of 10<br />

Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
i responded too. sk I see five responses nice survey! i just completed it. so nice and quick. sk<br />
Kalee S. Me, too. Looks good!<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
sk<br />
Six, all yes. Yay! sk<br />
should we include a box to add what library they are from? sk<br />
I can make an optional text box. sk<br />
ok cool.sk<br />
Maybe an optional box would be best - include your name or institution if you wish? sk<br />
Randy S. That would help us understand the scope of our endeavor. sk<br />
Kalee S.<br />
We could also ask what they are interested in talking about / hearing about at the conference. sk<br />
Randy S. Yes, best to have just one survey!<br />
Cindy G.<br />
11:00 AM<br />
not a bad idea - to solicit topics. should i look into area hotels for deals? sk<br />
Randy S. sk<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
okay, optional: who are you/where are you from, what are you interested in talking about at the conference. Anything else? sk<br />
omni hotel usually offers us block rates and it might be worth checking on swing space. sk<br />
is there a way to word, would you attend just fri, sat or both? or is that too detailed? sk<br />
Randy S. Might you like to present? sk<br />
Michael F. actually, nevermind on swing, we can't use that during academic year. sk<br />
Joseph M. maybe a row of checkboxes? would you:<br />
Michelle H.<br />
I can use skip logic where if they say yes, I can ask if they want Friday, Saturday, or both. sk<br />
Joseph M. ( )attend friday<br />
Michael F.<br />
( )want to present<br />
( ) etc. sk<br />
maybe offer checkbox for present: lecture style, poster, lightning round, moderate unconference session...sk<br />
Cindy G. (i'll make a list of local hotels and their rates).<br />
Michelle H.<br />
sk<br />
Should there be a "why not" for the "no" answers or do we not care what's preventing people from coming? Should we say "Hey if you're interested<br />

Randy S.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
please indicate you're interest but if you're not don't answer the survey at all" ? sk<br />
Maybe just a final comments box. sk ooh, a you're/your typo. don't let me write the notices either! sk<br />
Kalee S. I think we just gather data from people who are interested in attending.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Randy S.<br />
"If you're interested in attending, fill out the form, etc." sk<br />
maybe instead of checkboxes for the type of presentation, just add in parenthesis the styles available. sk<br />
11:05 AM<br />
Got to run soon. Can't do Feb 10, 10-11, unfortunately. Any other time that day works. sk.<br />
Michael F. true, if they can't come, we don't care. sk<br />
ok, i'll send out a reminder for the next one.<br />
thanks for joining us Randy. sk<br />
Joseph M. +1 I think we just gather data from people who are interested in attending.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Okay, I won't add skip logic asking them why. We'll just assume that anyone answering the survey is interested in coming and gather feedback based on that. I'll send out the survey when I'm done and you can send me feedback, I'll revise, and then we can send it out to people. sk<br />
Kalee S. I've got to run, too. I have an 11am meeting ever Friday. Bye, all! sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle, if you get the survey together, i'll start drafting the email. maybe we can send out today? sk<br />
yes, we're over our time. thank you all for taking the time. sk<br />
Randy S. Good start!! Bye all. sksk<br />

Hi all<br />
Cindy G. hello<br />
Kalee S. Hello<br />
Joseph M. Good morning!<br />
Randy S. Hi!<br />
Michelle H. Hi<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Ok, Matthew Beacom and Mark Matienzo could not attend today due to conflicts<br />
So I think we're all here Tito also could not attend<br />
10:05 AM<br />
first order of business is introductions<br />
which i suppose is taken care of pretty well in this format<br />
But i suppose what I was more interested in for an introduction is what you hope to come of this regional meeting<br />
So I will start, I'm hoping that this can kick off an annual regional get together and that we are able to start something long lasting. I think it would require us to remain at least partially on planning for the next couple years to keep this moving but home that this grows some legs of its own.<br />
I suppose i'll hand it over to Cindy, and then each just hands to to another, so Cindy, tell us your thoughts on this project.<br />
i'm Cindy, I work at Yale and am new in my position and to code4lib. I agree with Mike though. I hope that we can kick off a NE regional meeting that becomes yearly.<br />

Joseph M.<br />
i am deaf and have spoken to many deaf folks. one of the things that we never know is when a person is done speaking.<br />
10:10 AM<br />
so, we developed codes to signify that we're done. sk means that I've stopped 'keying'...<br />
so, if we type that at the end of what we're saying, maybe it would help us with conversation. sk<br />
sounds good to me. sk<br />
Hi all - I'm a Systems Librarian at Yale. Like many, I didn't get into Code4lib this year (missed it by 6 hours or so). I'm also hoping we can start something regional that will be long-lasting. A place where we can exchange experiences / ideas / trials and make local connections to help make our collective work easier. sk<br />
Hi all - I'm the Manager of systems development in the office of information systems at the Harvard Library. We have 10 sw developers and 10 or more system librarians in OIS, plus several other library dev groups around Harvard who are potential participants. We'd love to foster more local collaboration and sharing of skills and ideas.<br />
I'd really like to see an event with lots of time for talk, meeting people, and informal sharing. sk<br />
Hi! I'm Michelle and I'm the data librarian at Yale. I've only been to one code4lib -- the midwest regional meeting at Notre Dame when I worked there. I noticed that a lot of attendees were interested in issues of research data management and digital preservation and while there are many "official" conference avenues to pursue those kinds of interests, the informal one-day get-together of several parties from a number of local institutions was really fun and productive. I'd like to have that opportunity again and would be glad to help plan for that kind of thing.<br />
My sister is deaf and I have fond memories of being five and using "sksksksksksksk" as a very-long-goodbye on the TTY. :) sk<br />
I'm Joe Montibello. I work at Dartmouth. (We have 2 programmers in the library, hiring two more soon.) I haven't been to C4L before, but I've heard good things about it. I'd also like to see this become self-sustaining at some point, and I think I'll be happy to help for a couple years to try and move it in that direction. I came here from a much smaller institution where there was no way I could have gotten funded to go to Seattle, so a local con seems like something that could reach a wider audience. sk.<br />
Michael F. ok cool<br />
Michael F.<br />
second order of business, communicating with the rest of the Code4Lib community<br />
I'm thinking that we can post the transcripts of these meetings to the list<br />
Mark Matienzo suggested an alternate list I didn't know about for planning, which could be a likely target<br />
10:15 AM<br />
does that sound like a good plan? granted we can cherry pick to leave out hellos and idle chit chat. sk<br />
Joseph M. sounds good to me. sk.<br />

Cindy G.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Kalee S.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Michael F.<br />
i think it is a good idea to post transcripts. i think we should use a smaller list, but what about an email to the larger population letting them know that we're doing this just so they may participate should they want to? sk<br />
Should we just post the transcripts to the list or make a public wiki-thing to host them on for (public) safe-keeping? I know we'll have Basecamp and whatnot for our own planning, but if other people want to refer to our notes... sk<br />
I think that works. We may also want to post more decision points when we meet them - like when a date for the get together is selected, etc. sk<br />
makes sense to keep details off the main c4l list, but share transcripts and invite more participants sk<br />
code4lib NW had a wiki page as well. sk ok, so the action item will be to setup a wiki representation of this group<br />
Joseph M. : ) http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/NEC4L<br />
Michael F.<br />
then post transcripts there and spam the code4lib list with link and when it is updated. maybe point out some highlights. sk<br />
Joseph M. I don't know if we can reuse that? sk.<br />
Michael F. perfect<br />
who wants to find out if we can use it? sk<br />
Joseph M. I can follow up on that.<br />
sk<br />
Michael F. ok great. sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
10:20 AM<br />
for internal communication amongst us, would you all like me to setup a basecamp site for posting things and just stick to emails for group discussion and then this for our bi-weekly. The group emails would be considered "not public" and not shared on any public platform. anything here would be considered public. any other rules we ought to apply to ourselves? sk<br />
Randy S. Works for me, sk<br />
Kalee S. Me too. sk<br />
Cindy G. works for me as well. sk<br />
Michelle H. Me also sk<br />
Joseph M. I can't think of any other rules, sounds good. sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
ok, we can tweak as we go along. I just wanted to setup expectations so we know when the world will know who said what.<br />
next order of business is location, am I right in assuming that Yale is the right place for this event? sk<br />
There have been interests in attending a conference at Yale on the main listserv, so I think we should stick with Yale.<br />
10:25 AM<br />
That works for me. I'd like to offer Dartmouth as a location sometime, but not ready to do that yet. sk<br />

Randy S.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Kalee S.<br />
Yale works for me. Love to do ti at Harvard some time too. sk I think Yale is good. sk Seems like we have a quorum. sk<br />
Michael F. ok, also good reason to keep this group together for the next few years. sk<br />
next is the possible dates<br />
if we hold this even in the library we have a lecture hall, which would be great<br />
catch is that it is not air conditioned<br />
so I think the ideal months would be May or September<br />
alternatively, we don't use that room and book another hall here, but that will come at a cost<br />
so before considering another venue, would May or Sept be good months? sk<br />
early june may work since it usually doesn't totally warm up until like June 10 around here...sk<br />
Michelle H. I think early May is better than early June. June is conference season. sk<br />
Kalee S. Given other major projects at Yale in May, I would prefer September. sk<br />
Randy S.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Late May or early June should give us plenty of time to plan, but alot of the work will fall on you at Yale...sk<br />
For May, keep in mind that it is the end of the semester for an academic year. September is the beginning of a semester. I agree with Kalee as we do have some major upgrades going on. September would be my vote.<br />
sk!<br />
10:30 AM<br />
I was thinking along the lines of "this fall," so I'd support a September time frame. sk.<br />
We'll need to defer to Yale logistics, I think. sk<br />
Michelle H. September sounds good. sk<br />
Joseph M. I agree, Randy! sk<br />
Michael F. ok, september-ish it is sk<br />
Randy S. Sept works. sk<br />
Michael F. lets talk format now<br />
Randy S.<br />
since it is the first, i think 2 days is reasonable where the second may not be a fully planned day<br />
i'm thinking kick off with a speaker and then sessions for the first day and then the second day run sort of an unconference<br />
i'm interested in other ideas. sk<br />
It important to have both very short presentations (5 min) and chances for longer ones. sk<br />
Joseph M. unconference/hackfest ++! also lightning round style presentations. sk<br />
Michael F.<br />

Michael F.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Kalee S.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
lightning rounds/poster sessions are usually where i learn the most, so i agree. sk<br />
i think two days would be nice. if we have smaller breakout sessions, we'll need to be sure smaller rooms are available in addition to the main meeting room which would be the lecture hall. sk<br />
It would be good if people can get alot out of just a one day trip, with 2 for those who can invest the time. sk<br />
I have Susan's backing for getting rooms (Susan is our University Librarian). sk<br />
Are you thinking week days or week end? sk<br />
I agree - lightening talks are key. Small groups could meet in our undergraduate library, if the rooms are available. sk<br />
i can check into availability of all rooms and get back to the group on possible dates/sk<br />
If we did two days, I think one day of programmed talks (or maybe half a day?) and one day for unconference/hackathon/lightning talks could work out, and people could even decide which aspect they want to attend if not both. sk<br />
Randy S. breakout rooms near the main hall are very useful sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H. Michael F.<br />
Randy S.<br />
it could be a fri/sat event. or a thurs/fri but I have to look into the hours of the library here and make sure we don't run up against the early closing hours. sk<br />
10:35 AM<br />
There's a 24 hour space and a big media wall in the CSSSI if we want to get crazy. sk<br />
we could do friday to 4:30 in the sterling library and a reception at CSSSI which would be kind of cool. sk<br />
I kind of like the Fri/Sat idea sk<br />
Michael F. that is because we get kicked out of Sterling at 4:45 on fridays. sk<br />
Randy S. On to the pub! sk<br />
Kalee S. CSSI reception +1 sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
yes, i'm thinking it could help some do two days if they don't mind taking their personal time for the "fun day". sk<br />
I'll ask Jill about the possibility of reception. We're definitely allowed to have food in the CSSSI, as well, so we could get light catering or just bring whatever. sk<br />
we don't have a formal budget but there is opportunity, also if we charge a registration fee, we could make it nice. sk<br />
if we do a fri/sat thing - it may be easier in getting rooms for a breakout session the next day (Sat) in Sterling as those rooms won't be booked.<br />
Michael F. true. sk<br />
Cindy G.<br />
would you like me to look at room availability for the month of Sept and get back to the group?<br />
Kalee S. Same with Bass rooms (which are attached to Sterling)<br />

Cindy G.<br />
sk<br />
(goodness, i'm the one who recommended sk and am so far the biggest delinquent).<br />
How many people can you handle? sk<br />
Randy S.<br />
Michael F. i was going to call you out on that :)<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Randy S.<br />
Michael F.<br />
10:40 AM<br />
the lecture hall seats 100 comfortable and technically holds up to 150. sk<br />
with that we could handle at least 6 break out rooms in the library and I could probably get others. sk<br />
Do we have an estimate of how many people would show up? sk<br />
Maybe we need to see what interest there is - being so close to NY, plus all of us, 100 seems very tight sk<br />
actually make that 7, the lecture hall can be a break out room, there's a reception area outside of it we could use as common space, plus there's a cafe. sk<br />
Kalee S. We could limit registration to a certain number...sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
there is larger auditorium space I think we can easily get before 11am on a friday that can seat 250. sk<br />
if we hold it in august before classes begin, we can secure it anytime we want. that building has A/C. sk<br />
Randy S. we could poll the c4l list for interest, and also ask offline more locally. sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
10:45 AM<br />
if we post to the list that we chatted, came up with Sept as the time and ask who would like to attend, it might test the waters enough to know. sk<br />
i would be comfortable keeping it in the library if it is under 150. sk<br />
my opinion? anyone can say they're interested, but once logistics are presented (Date, times, venue), that's when folks know they're able to come.<br />
sk !<br />
Michael F. true, what if we pick a date now. Can we shoot for Sept 21/22?<br />
Randy S.<br />
Kalee S.<br />
sk<br />
I think a yes, no, maybe request for interest on "mid September, 2 days at Yale, Fri/Sat" would give good input.<br />
sk<br />
Sept 21/22 sounds good to me - enough time to get the semester started off, and for the weather to cool down. sk<br />
Randy S. And its not Rosh Hashonah... sk<br />
Michael F. 21 = international day of peace, 22 = first day of fall. sk<br />
Joseph M.<br />
I think that should work pretty well, with a yes/no/maybe. Do we need to push people to a poll/surveymonkey type thing or just "Everybody respond to Michael F." ? : )<br />

Joseph M.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
Michael F. Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
i agree. i just sent an email to a colleague asking for availability for the main lecture hall on 9/21.<br />
sk sk<br />
10:50 AM<br />
yale just started some new survey service, this would be a good test for it assuming it is public. sk<br />
Is it easier for people to click a link and click a radio button and click submit or is it easier to email Mike and have him keep track? sk<br />
if not i'll survey monkey something together. sk<br />
I have a Qualtrics account already and I assume we can make public surveys since IT sent out a news item. sk<br />
Kalee S. I think a survey is more work for responders, but easier for Mike. :) sk<br />
Cindy G.<br />
survey takes my vote. I also checked on availability for two rooms that we could use as breakouts for 9/21 - both are wide open. i'll put a hold on those two rooms. sk<br />
Michael F. yeah, easy is relative. sk<br />
thanks Cindy. sk<br />
Randy S. survey give automated sumarries, so +1 sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
a second email to the list will be to call for proposals, i think that could go out soon. thoughts about that? sk<br />
Kalee S. I agree - survey +1 sk<br />
Randy S. Don't let me type the notices ;-) sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
lol survey +1, call for proposals, +1. Randy types notices, -1. ; ) sk<br />
i'm fluent in 7 programming languages, i only speak english goodly and can't spell to save my life. sk<br />
10:55 AM<br />
ok, final wrap up.<br />
next meeting we will follow up with secured spaces, we will hopefully have a wiki presence setup or secured and I will work on getting a formal budget.<br />
i will circulate drafts of two emails to hit the list with<br />
Michelle, can you draft a survey?<br />
Can we check and see if Qualtrics surveys are public for sure? I made a test one. https://yalesurvey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=S... sk<br />
Oh lookie there. sk<br />
Michael F. neat<br />
Michelle H. Do we want more information from respondents or to keep it simple? sk<br />
Joseph M. I just responded, can you see it? sk<br />
Campfire: Today, January 27 Page 7 of 10<br />
https://yaleuniversitylibrary.campfirenow.com/room/471085/transcript/2012/01/27 1/27/2012<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Cindy G.<br />
i responded too. sk I see five responses nice survey! i just completed it. so nice and quick. sk<br />
Kalee S. Me, too. Looks good!<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Joseph M.<br />
sk<br />
Six, all yes. Yay! sk<br />
should we include a box to add what library they are from? sk<br />
I can make an optional text box. sk<br />
ok cool.sk<br />
Maybe an optional box would be best - include your name or institution if you wish? sk<br />
Randy S. That would help us understand the scope of our endeavor. sk<br />
Kalee S.<br />
We could also ask what they are interested in talking about / hearing about at the conference. sk<br />
Randy S. Yes, best to have just one survey!<br />
Cindy G.<br />
11:00 AM<br />
not a bad idea - to solicit topics. should i look into area hotels for deals? sk<br />
Randy S. sk<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Michael F.<br />
okay, optional: who are you/where are you from, what are you interested in talking about at the conference. Anything else? sk<br />
omni hotel usually offers us block rates and it might be worth checking on swing space. sk<br />
is there a way to word, would you attend just fri, sat or both? or is that too detailed? sk<br />
Randy S. Might you like to present? sk<br />
Michael F. actually, nevermind on swing, we can't use that during academic year. sk<br />
Joseph M. maybe a row of checkboxes? would you:<br />
Michelle H.<br />
I can use skip logic where if they say yes, I can ask if they want Friday, Saturday, or both. sk<br />
Joseph M. ( )attend friday<br />
Michael F.<br />
( )want to present<br />
( ) etc. sk<br />
maybe offer checkbox for present: lecture style, poster, lightning round, moderate unconference session...sk<br />
Cindy G. (i'll make a list of local hotels and their rates).<br />
Michelle H.<br />
sk<br />
Should there be a "why not" for the "no" answers or do we not care what's preventing people from coming? Should we say "Hey if you're interested<br />

Randy S.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
please indicate you're interest but if you're not don't answer the survey at all" ? sk<br />
Maybe just a final comments box. sk ooh, a you're/your typo. don't let me write the notices either! sk<br />
Kalee S. I think we just gather data from people who are interested in attending.<br />
Michael F.<br />
Randy S.<br />
"If you're interested in attending, fill out the form, etc." sk<br />
maybe instead of checkboxes for the type of presentation, just add in parenthesis the styles available. sk<br />
11:05 AM<br />
Got to run soon. Can't do Feb 10, 10-11, unfortunately. Any other time that day works. sk.<br />
Michael F. true, if they can't come, we don't care. sk<br />
ok, i'll send out a reminder for the next one.<br />
thanks for joining us Randy. sk<br />
Joseph M. +1 I think we just gather data from people who are interested in attending.<br />
Michelle H.<br />
Okay, I won't add skip logic asking them why. We'll just assume that anyone answering the survey is interested in coming and gather feedback based on that. I'll send out the survey when I'm done and you can send me feedback, I'll revise, and then we can send it out to people. sk<br />
Kalee S. I've got to run, too. I have an 11am meeting ever Friday. Bye, all! sk<br />
Michael F.<br />
Michelle, if you get the survey together, i'll start drafting the email. maybe we can send out today? sk<br />
yes, we're over our time. thank you all for taking the time. sk<br />
Randy S. Good start!! Bye all. sksk<br />

== Upcoming conference ==<br />
Planning has begun for a New England Code4Lib conference. The goal is to hold the conference at Yale University in September 2012. Watch this space for more information!<br />
<br />
Planning committee members include:<br />
<br />
Matthew Beacom<br><br />
Michael Friscia<br><br />
Cindy Greenspun<br><br />
Michelle Hudson<br><br />
James Luker<br><br />
Mark Matienzo<br><br />

Kalee Sprague<br><br />
Randy Stern<br><br />
<br />
== Planning Meetings ==<br />
=== 2012/01/27 ===<br />
<br />
Decisions:<br><br />
- Conference will be 2 days on Sept 21, 22 (Fri, Sat) at Yale. We will secure the lecture hall and additional rooms.<br><br />
- Registration limit will be 150<br><br />
- Format will be formal first day with keynote address, sessions, lunch, etc. Day 2 will be less formal, unconference, lightning, hackathon style. Birds of a feather (or birds not of a feather which is also fun) will get worked in somehow.<br><br />
- Reception at the end of the first day will be at CSSSI (http://csssi.yale.edu/) with food/beverages.<br><br />
- We all agree that we would like this to become an annual event with Harvard and Dartmouth in the mix as next hosts (order to be figured out later).<br><br />
- We will make all campfire conversations publicly accessible. Emails circulated amongst us (like this) will be considered “Not Public”.<br><br />
- We will post to the Code4Lib listserv throughout the planning process to let everyone know where we are at with it and also to help promote and keep interest in the event.<br><br />
<br />
Actions<br><br />
- Joe will follow up about the NE Code4Lib wiki to see if we can use this as our public facing website where we will place campfire sessions or other public information.<br><br />
- Michelle will (already has) create a survey to test the waters for possible attendance numbers<br><br />
- I will draft 2 emails, one to go with the survey and one as a request for proposals (to come later on).<br><br />
- Cindy will reserve rooms for these two days.<br><br />
