2015 Conference Committees

= Code4Lib 2015 Committees =

If you are interested in helping out with a particular part of the Code4Lib 2015 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (called 'committees' for lack of a better term). Each committee should select a committee lead that will coordinate the activities of the committee and its work with the hosting site. Discussions of a non-sensitive nature should take place on the Code4LibCon mailing list for transparency and future reference. Please 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 to each committee.

== Location and Dates ==

(more details at [http://code4lib.org/conference/2015 http://code4lib.org/conference/2015])
* Location: Hilton Portland and Executive Tower, Portland, Oregon
* Dates:
** Pre-conferences - February 9th, 2015

== Book Give-Away Committee ==

This committee solicits books and other prizes to be given away in raffles during the conference. This committee is responsible for identifying some means of performing the actual raffle (aka, a random picker app or other tool for selecting winners).

Need about 2 months to get books shipped to the conference location.

What should Code4Lib NorCal Do?

Discussion led by Eric Phetteplace

* What do we call ourselves?
**Several suggestions, but Code4Lib NorCal won the vote

* Locations:
**Sonoma might be an option.
**San Luis Obispo would be good for NorCal SoCal meetups.
**UC Berkeley and Stanford might be good hosts.
**California Library Association meeting is in Oakland this year, November 7-9. Oakland University could host something for Code4Lib NorCal.
**Internet Archive? Maybe a tour or a hackathon there?

* Frequency:
**SoCal group has met twice in the last six months.
**Twice a year to start for us might be good.
**Times that don't conflict with National Code4Lib, so fall and summer.

* Organization:
** We need people to handle some basic organization. Eric P. will coordinate a meeting to figure out those questions on Google Group.

* Outreach:
**Our group is almost entirely academic libs. Should we do outreach to public libraries? Patrick Newell would be willing to work with someone else to do this outreach.
**Aaron Collier will reach out to the SoCal people to find out if anyone would want to do a joint meeting.
**West Coast representation at National Code4Lib tends to be light. How can we make west coast libs more aware? Outreach to tech librarians.
**Could we sponsor a diversity scholarship to National Code4Lib meeting? In conjunction with SoCal group. $500 should be enough to help get someone there.

* Types of events:
**A Hackathon meeting, something hands on. The ALA Midwinter hackathon was a good model. It was structured, and focused on 2 specifc APIs. One was more guided (showing people how to work with the API) and one was more free form (people who already knew how to work with APIs).
**If we did a hackathon it would be good to combine it with a meetup over a two days span to make travel easier for more far-flung folks.

* What next?
**Eric P. will start to get discussion over the Google Group list over next steps.
**Aaron will see if we can configure an RSS feed for the Google Group.
**We should advocate for more capacity at National Code4Lib (although it's tricky to find a balance between being open to people who want to come and maintaining a small conference)
**If we want to start thinking about hosting National Code4Lib in California we should start taking as a group. Might also want to collaborate with SoCal to find a good location.
