2012 Lightning Talks Signup

2012-02-07T18:05:24Z

Lrobare:

'''Sign up for Lightning Talks!!'''

Lightning talks are scheduled on all three days of the conference. A lightning talk is a fast-paced 5 minute talk on a topic of your choosing. Sign-ups for lightning talks will open at 10 am on Tuesday, February 7, immediately following the first keynote.

Mark Jason Dominus has a nice page [http://perl.plover.com/lt/lightning-talks.html about lightning talks], which includes this summary of why you might want to do one:

''Maybe you've never given a talk before, and you'd like to start small. For a Lightning Talk, you don't need to make slides, and if you do decide to make slides, you only need to make three.''

''Maybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up, at least the painful part will be over quickly.''

''Maybe you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question, or invite people to help you with your project, or boast about something you did, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.''

2012 Craft Brew Drinkup

2012-01-31T22:31:03Z

Lrobare: /* Sign up */

'''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.

''If you do not check bags or otherwise cannot arrange to bring beer from where you call home, you may be interested in buying beer from a local beer store. See the "Buying Beer in Seattle" section below for suggestions.''

=== Suggestions ===

'''Add using the following format: (person who you are making the request of): (your request) - (your name)'''

* Unnamed persons from the Keystone State: Sly Fox, any special Weyerbacher - anarchivist
* anyone: Boulevard smokestack series - danwho
* whosoever brought blueberry stout last year, more of that please - jastirn

=== Buying Beer in Seattle ===

from an email to the code4lib list:

: I can think of three good bottleshops (all w/ taps in case you want a growler) that are located on bus lines from downtown:
:
: * [http://bottleworksbeerstore.blogspot.com/ Bottleworks]: Probably the shop I frequent the most. Take the 16 to Wallingford.
: * [http://www.lastdropbeershop.com/ Last Drop]: Take the 71,72, or 73 north from downtown and get off at 80th.
: * [http://www.seattlebeerauthority.com/ Beer Authority]: probably the quickest trip from downtown on the 522. get off at the 125th St stop in Lake City and walk north a couple of blocks.
: * Lots of other pub/beer places noted on [http://g.co/maps/4m5pk the map]

=== Disclaimers ===

* This is an unofficial event organized by attendees of Code4lib 2012.
* All guests at the Drinkup must be 21 years of age or over with a [http://www.cherylslastcall.com/pdfs/Acceptable-ID-Forms.pdf valid form of ID].
* Any participation in the Drinkup is at your own risk.
* All guests are expected to drink responsibly and behave appropriately.

=== 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.
