==Group Activity==
* We're planning to try something a little different: a group mind-map, to warm up for the Breakout sessions.
* Write down on the specified Post-It color (provided): Your name, and one of the following topics:
** '''Green''': the thing which made me most proud this week
** '''Orange''': the library technology I'm most excited about right now
** '''Pink''': the most annoying thing about my library's website
** '''Blue''': something I'd like to see at the next Chicago Code4Lib meetup
* Stick your post-it on the whiteboard in 1-470, ''close to another topic which you consider related''. Please feel free to move other peoples' post-it notes around!
* Now do another one! Do several!
* Talk amongst yourselves.

==Breakout/Hackathon Sessions==
* Up for debate: these are just some possible topics. We need four total.
* If you have an idea, add it to the list! If we end up with more than four, we will conduct a straw poll to determine the most relevant/popular.
* For inspiration, [http://wiki.code4lib.org/2015_Preconference_Proposals here is the list of pre-conference workshops] at the last national Code4Lib
* Rooms are still in flux; they will depend upon interest.
 
===Meteor.js tutorial===
* In web dev circles, Meteor is the new hotness. It lets you make single-page apps which synchronize automatically between clients/users and the cloud/server. It also lets you kick out iOS and Android apps easily. It's pretty slick.
* Let's get a Meteor.js installation up and running. [https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/blaze/creating-an-app We'll do this tutorial], at least as much as we can. Be prepared for things not to work; let's figure them out together!
* No prior experience necessary, although familiarity with JavaScript will be useful.
* Macintosh/Linux only, unless you have experience using Cygwin on Windows.
* Allan Berry will lead (for better or worse)

===Metadata/data hackathon===
*A discussion around tools and workflows for cleaning up messy data; bring your own data sets to work on if you like.
* We will bring some metadata to share, but please bring your own if you have some! Messier the better!
* Kate Flynn will lead.

===User Experience breakout===
* Card Sorts and Accessibility and WIreframes Oh My!
* Got some websites you want to analyze for good UI/UX? Bring a list of URLs!
* Tara Wood will lead.

===???===
* -

==Evening social==
* Join us at [http://jakstap.com/bar_and_grill_location_chicago_il.html Jak's Tap] at 5:00pm, for beer and further discussion!
*: Jak's is within walking distance of UIC, a block or two north, across the freeway. Parking can be challenging up there, although meters are usually available on Jackson Blvd.

==UIC Environs: Lunch and Parking==
* '''[https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z2JOTakXueSk.kSv_bxAdo3Xc&usp=sharing Lunch and parking map]'''
* Food options are mostly clustered in three places: Greektown (N of the freeway along Halsted), Taylor street (SW of campus), and University Village (S along Halsted).
* There are several parking lots available (marked on the above map).
* Parking works like this:
** We have some 25 parking passes available for free parking: first come, first served. Otherwise parking will cost $13 for a full day.
** Make sure you park in a UIC-branded lot with a person on duty. When you enter, a machine will give you a ticket/receipt.
** Upon check-in at the Daley Library, I'll give you a sticker which you can attach to your receipt.
** At the end of the day, when you leave, hand this receipt/sticker to the attendant on duty. They should just wave you through.

==Getting to UIC==
* Public Transit: Take the Blue Line west from the Loop; get off at the UIC-Halsted stop. Exit via Morgan Street (to your right as you exit the train). Walk south. The library will be on the left after you cross Harrison Street (address: 801 S Morgan St).
* '''[https://www.uic.edu/about/visit-directions More information on visiting UIC]''', including (better) mass-transit directions

== Circle Interchange difficulties==
* Circle Interchange (the confluence of I-90 and I-290 just NE of campus) construction is ongoing.
* Construction is causing traffic havoc nearby, especially near the corner of Harrison and Halsted. The Harrison bridge over I-90 doesn't currently exist. Best to avoid this area if possible.
* The Morgan street exit from I-290 has been closed for some time. [http://www.circleinterchange.org/under_construction/morgan_street.aspx According to IDOT]:
** Exiting access is prohibited from Westbound I-290/Congress Parkway
** From Southbound I-90/94 - exit Adams Street
** From Northbound I-90/94 - exit Ashland Avenue, backtrack east via Jackson Boulevard or Harrison Street

==Group Activity==
* We're planning to try something a little different: a group mind-map, to warm up for the Breakout sessions.
* Write down on the specified Post-It color (provided): Your name, and one of the following topics:
** '''Green''': the thing which made me most proud this week
** '''Orange''': the library technology I'm most excited about right now
** '''Pink''': the most annoying thing about my library's website
** '''Blue''': something I'd like to see at the next Chicago Code4Lib meetup
* Stick your post-it on the whiteboard in 1-470, ''close to another topic which you consider related''. Please feel free to move other peoples' post-it notes around!
* Now do another one! Do several!
* Talk amongst yourselves.

==Breakout/Hackathon Sessions==
* Up for debate: these are just some possible topics. We need four total.
* If you have an idea, add it to the list! If we end up with more than four, we will conduct a straw poll to determine the most relevant/popular.
* For inspiration, [http://wiki.code4lib.org/2015_Preconference_Proposals here is the list of pre-conference workshops] at the last national Code4Lib
* Rooms are still in flux; they will depend upon interest.
 
===Meteor.js tutorial===
* In web dev circles, Meteor is the new hotness. It lets you make single-page apps which synchronize automatically between clients/users and the cloud/server. It also lets you kick out iOS and Android apps easily. It's pretty slick.
* Let's get a Meteor.js installation up and running. [https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/blaze/creating-an-app We'll do this tutorial], at least as much as we can. Be prepared for things not to work; let's figure them out together!
* No prior experience necessary, although familiarity with JavaScript will be useful.
* Macintosh/Linux only, unless you have experience using Cygwin on Windows.
* Allan Berry will lead (for better or worse)

===Metadata/data hackathon===
*A discussion around tools and workflows for cleaning up messy data; bring your own data sets to work on if you like.
* We will bring some metadata to share, but please bring your own if you have some! Messier the better!
* Kate Flynn will lead.

===User Experience breakout===
* Card Sorts and Accessibility and WIreframes Oh My!
* Got some websites you want to analyze for good UI/UX? Bring a list of URLs!
* Tara Wood will lead.

===???===

==Evening social==
* Join us at [http://jakstap.com/bar_and_grill_location_chicago_il.html Jak's Tap] at 5:00pm, for beer and further discussion!
*: Jak's is within walking distance of UIC, a block or two north, across the freeway. Parking can be challenging up there, although meters are usually available on Jackson Blvd.

==UIC Environs: Lunch and Parking==
* '''[https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z2JOTakXueSk.kSv_bxAdo3Xc&usp=sharing Lunch and parking map]'''
* Food options are mostly clustered in three places: Greektown (N of the freeway along Halsted), Taylor street (SW of campus), and University Village (S along Halsted).
* There are several parking lots available (marked on the above map).
* Parking works like this:
** We have some 25 parking passes available for free parking: first come, first served. Otherwise parking will cost $13 for a full day.
** Make sure you park in a UIC-branded lot with a person on duty. When you enter, a machine will give you a ticket/receipt.
** Upon check-in at the Daley Library, I'll give you a sticker which you can attach to your receipt.
** At the end of the day, when you leave, hand this receipt/sticker to the attendant on duty. They should just wave you through.

==Getting to UIC==
* Public Transit: Take the Blue Line west from the Loop; get off at the UIC-Halsted stop. Exit via Morgan Street (to your right as you exit the train). Walk south. The library will be on the left after you cross Harrison Street (address: 801 S Morgan St).
* '''[https://www.uic.edu/about/visit-directions More information on visiting UIC]''', including (better) mass-transit directions

== Circle Interchange difficulties==
* Circle Interchange (the confluence of I-90 and I-290 just NE of campus) construction is ongoing.
* Construction is causing traffic havoc nearby, especially near the corner of Harrison and Halsted. The Harrison bridge over I-90 doesn't currently exist. Best to avoid this area if possible.
* The Morgan street exit from I-290 has been closed for some time. [http://www.circleinterchange.org/under_construction/morgan_street.aspx According to IDOT]:
** Exiting access is prohibited from Westbound I-290/Congress Parkway
** From Southbound I-90/94 - exit Adams Street
** From Northbound I-90/94 - exit Ashland Avenue, backtrack east via Jackson Boulevard or Harrison Street

'''Note''': The White Sox are playing a double header that day-do NOT park west of the freeway near the ballpark or you'll be towed.

'''Note #2''': If you're driving to campus but want to go to lunch with a group, be sure to have a '''[http://www.transitchicago.com/riding_cta/how_to_guides/buyingfare.aspx CTA pass]''' as we'll most likely take the train to Chinatown.

===Presentations ===

'''Digitizing World War One Music with the Illinois State Library and Pritzker Military Museum''' - Andrew Bullen, Illinois State Library

I can talk about this program and how we use optical musical recognition to make “playable” MP3 files for the tunes.

'''Digital Preservation at Loyola University Chicago''' - Margaret Heller (and possibly others), Loyola University Chicago

We made the vended choice for digital preservation, but what does that actually mean in practice?
W or Th
10 minutes

'''Library Website Redesign Panel Discussion''' - Various

In 2016, several Chicago-area libraries redesigned their websites. This panel will discuss the different processes they went through and results.

'''[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1DmruGeKwqWUE_kc2J1SA57_S1sg0nhZL9vu__2tMK3Y Towards a Linked Data workflow]''' - Tod A. Olson, University of Chicago

The U. Chicago Library is experimenting with acting as a producer and consumer of linked data. I will discuss a pilot project involving centered around an existing collection of photographs.

'''Search Experience at the University of Michigan Library''' - Jon Earley, University of Michigan

Our newest search tool aims to greatly improve the discoverability and accessibility of our enormous volume of resources by bringing our complex siloed resources together and make them easily searchable in one interface. This presentation will focus on front-end technology decisions and architecture, why we decided to build this discovery interface, the overall strategic direction, and a demo of the beta application. W, 20 minutes

'''Omeka to Scalar Transition''' - Matt Krc, Newberry Library

===Drupal4lib Sub-con Barcamp===

* Contact [[User:highermath|Cary Gordon]], cgordon@chillco.com or
* [[User:cdmo|Charlie Morris]], NCSU Libraries, cdmorris@ncsu.edu

This will be a full day of self-selected barcamp style sessions. Anyone who wants to present can write down the topic on an index card and, after the keynote, we will vote to choose what we want to see. Attendees can also pick a topic and attempt to talk someone else into presenting on it.

If we run out of topics, we will pay homage to the project by testing patches for Drupal 8. It is easy, and we will show you how to do this invaluable task.

This event is open to the library community. There is a nominal fee ($10) for non-Code4LibCon attendees.

Local Drupal uber-ninja Larry Garfield will stop by to answer questions and give us some guidance.

Are you interested in making it easier for users to obtain copies of known items? Do you feel your OpenURL and Interlibrary Loan software could be streamlined? This pre-conference workshop will focus on providing services that deliver content to users. Discovery systems are doing a better job of exposing library holdings but there's still a lot of work to do actually get the content in the users hands.

Possible topics/activities include:
* group discussion of what some libraries have done in this area
* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery
* overview of tools available
* sharing of strategies and experiences
* time to work with and review open source code in this area. Some possible tools to install and test out [https://github.com/team-umlaut/umlaut Umlaut], [https://github.com/lawlesst/heroku-360link Py360 Link].

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu

Since Google published its paper on BigTable in 2006, alternatives to the traditional relational database model have been growing in both variety and popularity. These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called "Big Data" problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, MongoDB, and Neo4j.

==Half Day Afternoon==
=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===
* Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu

* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? Interested in data visualization? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest? See Roy Tennant's [http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA332564.html "Where Librarians Go To Hack"] and the page for the [http://access2010.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3.html Access 2010 Hackfest]. We propose a half-day hackfest with a focus on visualization library data -- think stuff like library catalog data, access/circulation statistics, etc. Here's how it works, roughly:
- we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.
- we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.
- at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.

Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable!

* Mark Bussey, Data Curation Experts (mark at curationexperts.com)

Hydra (http://projecthydra.org) is a free and open source repository solution that is being used by institutions on both sides of the North Atlantic to provide access to their digital content. Hydra provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike. Leveraging Blacklight as its front end discovery interface, the hydra project provides a suite of software components, data models, and design patterns for building a robust and sustainable digital repository, as well as a community of support for ongoing development. This workshop will provide an introduction to the hydra project and its software components. Attendees will leave with enough knowledge to get started building their own local repository solutions. This workshop will be led by Adam Wead of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

=== Intro to Blacklight ===
* Bess Sadler, Stanford University Library (bess at stanford.edu)
* Jason Ronallo, NC State (jronallo at gmail.com)
* Shaun Ellis (helper), Princeton University Library, (shaune@princeton.edu)

Blacklight (http://projectblacklight.org) is a free and open source discovery interface built on solr and ruby on rails. It is used by institutions such as Stanford University, NC State, WGBH, Johns Hopkins University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an ever expanding community of adopters and contributors. Blacklight can be used as a front-end discovery solution for an ILS, or the contents of a digital repository, or to provide a unified discovery solution for many siloed collections. In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&A around local issues people might encounter.

Note: this workshop will be tailored as a follow-on to the morning's RailsBridge Intro to Ruby on Rails workshop, but everyone is welcome

=== DPLA Intro/Hacking ===

* Presenter(s)/Leader(s): Nate Hill (Chattanooga Public Library, DPLA Audience and Participation Co-chair), SJ Klein (Wikimedia, OLPC, DPLA Technical Aspects Co-chair), Jeff Licht (DPLA Technical Development Project Manager)

The [http://dp.la Digital Public Library of America] (DPLA) is an open source metadata repository that provides read-only access to millions of records from across the United States via an open REST API. All API queries are returned as JSON-LD, a lightweight linked data format, and the metadata is freely reusable under a CC0 public domain license. A front-end portal is currently under development and will be launched in April 2013, though it will serve as but one way into the DPLA’s data. The DPLA encourages the development of applications and tools by developers of all skill levels and backgrounds. In this workshop, participants will actively code against the API to make apps, visualization tools, plug-ins, and other interesting tools that make use of DPLA data.

The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans ("The Pivot"), and failing more cheaply.

Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:

# Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.
# Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:
#* Technical failure
#* Failure to effectively address a real user need
#* Overinvestment
#* Outreach/Promotion failure
#* Design/UX failure
#* Project team communication failure
#* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)
#* Successes gleaned from failures
# A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.
# A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.

I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers. I am happy to be outvoted by participants on any of these points--I just want to get us talking about our screw-ups, blind spots, and anvils dropping from the sky.

=== Solr 4 In Depth ===
* Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)

The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released! It's a really big deal. There are so many improvements, it makes the head spin. This session will cover the major feature improvements from Lucene's flexible indexing and scoring API up through SolrCloud in a digestable half-day format. Sounds like this is an evening thing that might happen at a bar somewhere?
