Kenirwin: /* Keynote Committee */

= Code4Lib 2022 Conference Committees =

Hosting a conference is complex, and it cannot be done without the help of the entire community. If you are interested in being an awesome person and applying your skills to a particular part of the Code4Lib 2022 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (please provide a contact). Each committee must have a Primary Contact (chair), Secondary Contact (co-chair), and Documentarian (secretary). The role of the Documentarian is to transcribe key information to future conference committees, such as timelines, costs, process, etc. Feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees. When adding your name, please indicate 'v' if you are a veteran on the committee so that we ensure committees are not made up entirely of newbies.

We will assign a local contact (LPC) to each committee.

Share what you are working on! Add your name and a description below. Please also let us know how long you'll need, and whether you prefer Thursday or Friday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations ===
(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)

'''Talk Title''' - [Speaker Name]: [Description]

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.
[[http://www6.wittenberg.edu/lib/ken/presentations/gamification.pptx Slides (PowerPoint)]]

'''Architecting Change in Repository Code''' - Debs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media System:
Presentation on how NU & Indiana plans to “breakup” Avalon’s code (streaming A/V repository solution) over the next few months for easier use from outside coders. I'll also discuss why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made; and the choices we need to make in deciding future pathways for Avalon’s technical and community development.

'''Audio Preservation and Automating Transcription''' - Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University:
I have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way. Slides here: http://bit.ly/29RLZkS

'''Batch-loading Electronic Serials Records while Maintaining High Quality Bibliographic Control''' - Jamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: I will go over the workflow challenges of batch loading electronic serials MARC records while trying to maintain a high standard of quality. The process requires a circular workflow between OCLC Connexion, MarcEdit, Excel, and Microsoft Access that is far from ideal. I will also discuss a program I am working on that aims to improve upon this process.

'''Evergreen, From the Bottom Up''' - Dan Wells, Calvin College:
We'll explore how Evergreen works from the server side, with particular focus on its unique and powerful underlying framework, OpenSRF.

'''Evergreen, From the Top Down''' - Remington Steed, Calvin College:
We'll start with a brief overview of Evergreen's features, then dig beneath the surface at the software's various client architectures, including the evolution from XUL, to Dojo, to Angular.

'''Building for Browsing and Discovery with Wagtail, an open-source Django CMS''' -
David Bietila & Brad Busenius, University of Chicago Library:
As part our recent website redesign, we sought to build in paths by which users could move laterally between related pages, discovering relevant resources and services without returning to the home page or to the global navigation. We'll present on the data model that we specified to allow these new types of relationships, and on the Wagtail CMS, which enabled us to realize the site that we wanted.

'''Your Rights Statements Are a Disaster''' - amy buckland, University of Chicago
Chances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!

'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you?

===Lightning Talks===
Have something cool to share but you don't want to be in front of the room for more than 5 minutes? Lightning talks are for you. Sign up now or at the conference:

''' VIAF AutoSuggest''' - Ralph LeVan

''' Getting Close to Accessible Slideshows''' - Margaret Heller

===Technical Details===

* We’ll have projectors with VGA hookups at both locations, and I’ll have a small assortment of Mac dongles (although please bring your own if you have one!) We’ll assume you have your own laptop, although in a pinch we can provide a PC with Powerpoint or a Mac with Keynote. We cannot, however, provide your slides. That’s up to you!
* We will be live streaming the presentations this year to our GVSU YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/gvsulib), and then posting the recordings (if we have your permission) in our Institutional Repository as CC-BY licensed. We will have a form on a handy clipboard for you to sign to make that official. This doesn’t at all stop you from posting the video or whatever on every other site on the internet.
* We will at the very least have a podium mic that you can take out and walk around with (or dance, like a ‘90s rapper). We hope to also have a lapel mic. Wednesday’s room is pretty big, and we want to make sure folks watching the stream can hear you.
* We’ll have Wifi usernames and passwords for all of you so you can get online.

===Code of Conduct===
Code4Lib Midwest is dedicated to a harassment-free conference experience for everyone. Our anti-harassment policy can be found at: [[C4LMW14 Code of Conduct]]

===Presentations or Workshops===

'''UPDATE''' Videos of all the talks from the 2014 Code4Lib Midwest are available online at http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/c4lmw/2014/

Have something cool to share? Tell us about it. If you want someone to teach something to you, put that here as well.

* Eric Echeverri and Steve Lonn on the digital open badges initiative that is taken place at the University of Michigan, specifically Digital Badges for libraries. Steve Lonn will be joining us via Gtalk for an in depth understanding of this technology. Eric will go over the technical details of exporting badges into the Mozilla backpack for learners. This application is done in ruby and is up and running at [https://mblem.umich.edu https://mblem.umich.edu]
* Development tips from the front-lines: Tips and techniques useful for software development in Libraries. Jon Gorman, University of Illinois (at Urbana-Champaign). Last year's Code4Lib Midwest there was a great amount of interest in improving development skills. Jon doesn't claim to be the best developer, but he's will to share what intimidated him unnecessarily and useful tips & tricks for both improving skills and overview of techniques that make life easier. (Bootstrap, jQuery, Rule engines, templates, Good books to read, etc). (Note: I'm willing to bump this down to a very quick lightning talk if people aren't interested, I just thought the schedule looked like it needed some fleshing out).
** Link to slides (I'll try to make this better later) http://www.library.illinois.edu/systems/jtgorman/c4lmw14/programming_tips/
** Some comments from afterwards. For logging in perl, I like [Log::Log4perl | http://search.cpan.org/~mschilli/Log-Log4perl-1.44/lib/Log/Log4perl.pm] and for testing I use [Test::More. | http://search.cpan.org/~exodist/Test-Simple-1.001003/lib/Test/More.pm] (And occasionally [Perl::Critic | http://search.cpan.org/dist/Perl-Critic/lib/Perl/Critic.pm])
** Some good perl books -> [Effective Programming in Perl | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_Perl_Programming], [Perl Best Practices | http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596001735.do](hard read, but nice).
* Can you do FOSS at your library if you're a small, one-person shop? How do you figure it out? Megan Kudzia, Albion College Library. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way, and I thought maybe others might find what I've figured out useful. As a community that values free/open source, it can be really difficult to assess if you're starting out in your career and you're pretty much "the technology person" at your library (I suspect there are a lot of us in this boat). In addition to mistakes, I've had some successes too, which I'll also share about - it's not all bad news! (Note: like Joh, I'm willing to bump this down to a lightning talk if folks aren't really interested).
* CANCELLED (sorry) Deploy Code with Confidence (with lots of tests and application monitoring). Jeremy Prevost, Northwestern University
* Chicago Collections Consortium (CCC), XTF admin tool development -- The CCC is creating a unified portal to access archival collections relating to Chicago at a variety of institutions. The consortium has chosen XTF to search and index the metadata. Our first order of business is to create an admin tool that can ingest any metadata from home institutions and create standardized metadata to allow discovery of related material across institutions. Development of the tool began in May. I'll give an overview of what we're doing from a technical stand point and update about where we are and what our difficulties have been. Esther Verreau, UIC

===Lightning Talks===
Have something cool to share but you don't want to be in front of the room for more than 5 minutes? Lightning talks are for you. Sign up now or at the conference:

We're not the boss of you.

* MARCStore - Some sort of datastore, perhaps with using something like MARCPath that's relatively easy to ingest records in and then pull out & order records. - Jon Gorman
* Hack Koha or Evergreen to use SQRL (Squirrel), a key-exchange type system for authentication - https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm. Could be used for anonymous logins and interacting with system or even possibly for a "smartphone card" app. - Jon Gorman

2013 breakout lone technologists

2013-02-14T15:01:26Z

Kenirwin: /* Wednesday Afternoon Breakout Session, Room E */

==Lone technologists at small libraries==
===Wednesday Afternoon Breakout Session, Room E===
*Discussion Leader: Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University
*Notetaker: Amy Deschenes, Simmons College

Main sessions related to things you can accomplish with teams of people. What are lone technologists or very small teams doing?

Common theme of the larger organizations putting restrictions on libraries/archives. Some content management systems are imposed. Systems do what they need it to do, but can't customize it as much as we'd like.

It's difficult to find time to evaluate available platforms, tinker with it and roll it out to users.

How do you evaluate what is a worthwhile use of time in terms of customization of out of the box systems?

We don't always have budgets for buying products, but can use human resources to build stuff or customize open source products. On the flipside, sometimes systems are purchased and then you can't customize them.

Maybe small institutions would be helped by stronger project management practices. Use an administrator as your "block" - people have to go through your manager or this administrator rather than directly to you.

Keep a running list of projects we'd love to have and show how much effort these would actually take.

You could try community support or consortial support, especially for infrastructure support.

Some people are applying for grants, but for smaller teams, it's only worthwhile to take the time to apply for grants when it's almost a certainty you will get them. LSTA grants don't get as many requests from academic libraries, so this might be a funding possibility. Others say LSTA grants are good for when they're for the larger community (academic and public/government installations).

Tie in with the larger institutional goals; demonstrate what works for you and why you need the special functionality/server space/etc.

Cultivating a buddy in IT and work on relationship building. Get a virtual machine or WAMP/MAMP server and build it locally, then show and tell with IT department.

How do you know if you're doing customization or implementing open source well? Where do you go to get feedback? Could push out code to github and ask larger community for feedback. The rest of the world isn't at all like your own server environment.

One good habit: go back and look at something after 3-4 months have passed with fresh eyes.

Document your own processes or reasons why on a wiki, so you can hand it off or review at a later date. Follow documentation standards whenever possible. Make readme.txt files so your future self or another person will have a clue what you were thinking. Write the block comments before you write out the code.

Take the extra time at the beginning during planning rather than spending more time on cleanup later on.

Challenges with git for loners - kind of like talking to yourself. Am I doing it the right way or just the way that's working for me? Major question: different environments all on the same repo or keep them separate? Documentation seems focused on beginners or mega experts - need steps 2, 3, 4.

Put environment configuration into the program itself instead of the Git space.

What can Code4Lib do for lone technologists or smaller teams?
- Examples of good smaller projects that are achievable for single person.
- Develop stronger collaboration spaces for lone technologists. Mini-community project. Someone needs to take ownership of it.
- If you want access to Code4Lib github, just ask.
- Expand the list of stuff for beginners. It's bewildering!
- Knowing how to pick the right tools.

What are Code4Libbers working on?
- ILS
- Digital Libraries
- Library website
- Institutional Repositories

How do you know if you're doing customization or implementing open source well? Where do you go to get feedback? Could push out code to github and ask larger community for feedback. The rest of the world isn't at all like your own server environment.

One good habit: go back and look at something after 3-4 months have passed with fresh eyes.

Document your own processes or reasons why on a wiki, so you can hand it off or review at a later date. Follow documentation standards whenever possible. Make readme.txt files so your future self or another person will have a clue what you were thinking. Write the block comments before you write out the code.

Take the extra time at the beginning during planning rather than spending more time on cleanup later on.

Challenges with git for loners - kind of like talking to yourself. Am I doing it the right way or just the way that's working for me? Major question: different environments all on the same repo or keep them separate? Documentation seems focused on beginners or mega experts - need steps 2, 3, 4.

Put environment configuration into the program itself instead of the Git space.

What can Code4Lib do for lone technologists or smaller teams?
- Examples of good smaller projects that are achievable for single person.
- Develop stronger collaboration spaces for lone technologists. Mini-community project. Someone needs to take ownership of it.
- If you want access to Code4Lib github, just ask.
- Expand the list of stuff for beginners. It's bewildering!
- Knowing how to pick the right tools.

What are Code4Libbers working on?
- ILS
- Digital Libraries
- Library website
- Institutional Repositories

===Logistics===
* Lodging
** We have blocked off 30 rooms for 7/23 & 7/24 at the East Lansing Marriott as the official hotel. These rooms are at a discounted rate, and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by June 23rd or the rooms will be released back to the public.
*** Use the [http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lanea-east-lansing-marriott-at-university-place/?toDate=&groupCode=LIBLIBA&fromDate=&app=resvlink this link] to book your stay, or call and mention the event code "LIBLIBA"
*** '''NOTE:''' if you use the link, make sure to uncheck "My Dates Are Flexible"
** Here is a list of alternative hotels, with notes on distance and transportation to MSU: http://www.ctlr.msu.edu/cotravel/hotels_msulocal.aspx
** '''Walking Directions (from Hotel to Library):''' [https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=marriott+east+lansing&daddr=42.7349335,-84.483926+to:msu+library&hl=en&sll=42.733798,-84.481827&sspn=0.005351,0.01134&geocode=FbsYjAIdw-32-iG5n5yCKrlTrCkNdkiq1OkiiDG5n5yCKrlTrA%3BFVUVjAIdquD2-ik56sBp1OkiiDH2_q_NmwVa4w%3BFawGjAId0-L2-iESN_F5SyA35Sl35MJMzOkiiDESN_F5SyA35Q&dirflg=w&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=17&via=1&t=m&z=17 | .5 Miles, approx 10 minutes.] Head South on M.A.C Avenue and cross East Grand River at an intersection or crosswalk--this is a busy street. You are now on campus! Just ahead and to your right is the MSU Union. Follow the sidewalk along Grand River keeping MSU Union on your left until you come to Abbot Rd. Cross Abbot Rd. and take a left to follow the sidewalk along Abbot. To your right is Campbell Hall and to your left is, yes, MSU Union. Ahead you will see much confusion. West Circle Drive, the major circuit in this section of campus, is under heavy construction. You're goal here is to cross West Circle Drive, no easy task. If you have followed Abbot Rd. then you should see a detour sign directly across West Circle that heads into the campus mall. Unfortunately for you the campus mall is a maze of sidewalks and enormous trees. Head south towards the Music Building. If you keep the Music Building on your right and Beaumont Tower on your left then you are heading south. To add to the confusion, you are in the middle of a circle drive--so you're going to be looking again for West Circle Drive. MSU Library is a huge brick building with green windows and two fountains out front.

'''Date/Time TBA; to be held in hospitality suite'''

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

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

=== Packing and Shipping Beer ===

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

The following are links to resources that provide info on packing your beer for transit.
