Luis von Ahn holds a PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University. His thesis, completed in 2005, was the first publication to use the term "human computation", referring to methods that combine human brainpower with computers to solve problems that neither could solve alone. In 2007, von Ahn invented reCAPTCHA,[26] a new form of CAPTCHA that also helps digitize books. In 2009, von Ahn and his graduate student Severin Hacker started developing Duolingo, which now has 46.6 million daily active users worldwide.

von Ahn was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2006, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellowship in 2009, a Sloan Fellowship in 2009, and a Microsoft New Faculty Fellowship in 2007, and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2012.

== Lisa Nguyen ==

Lisa Nguyen is the digital archivist at the UC San Francisco Archives and Special Collections. With over 20 years of experience in archives, Lisa is constantly innovating ways to preserve and share historical collections from audiovisual to born-digital content for future access by researchers and the general public. Lisa is collaborating with others to harness and leverage AI to enhance discovery and access to historical collections in medicine and health sciences, especially from marginalized voices and experiences. At a time when government agencies censor or erase invaluable scientific research/documents/websites, it has become timely and more critical for digital archivists like Lisa to work collaboratively, collectively, and efficiently as a community to document the past in health sciences and to share how they are approaching it. As an archivist, Lisa has presented and participated in global projects in Asia. She brings an international perspective and vision on how technologies are evolving and changing to be utilized for digital archival and library work.

==Molly White==

From [https://www.mollywhite.net/ Molly's website]:

I research and write critically about the cryptocurrency industry and technology more broadly in the [https://www.citationneeded.news/ Citation Needed] newsletter. I also run the websites [https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ Web3 is Going Just Great], where I highlight examples of how cryptocurrencies, web3 projects, and the industry surrounding them are failing to live up to their promises, and [https://www.followthecrypto.org/ Follow the Crypto], where I track cryptocurrency industry spending in the 2024 election cycle. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to make a better, more human-centered web, and am a passionate advocate for free and open access, digital sovereignty, and ethical technology.

I regularly speak to journalists and do media appearances. I also have given talks and guest lectures, and have advised policymakers and regulators in and outside of the United States.

Before veering into spending so much of my time thinking about cryptocurrency and its implications for the web and society, I was a professional software engineer.

I have also been an active editor of the English Wikipedia for over fifteen years, where I edit under the username [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GorillaWarfare GorillaWarfare]. I am an administrator and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Functionaries functionary], and previously served three terms on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee Arbitration Committee]. I care deeply about free and open access to high-quality information, and view projects like Wikipedia as critical infrastructure.

==Fobazi Ettarh==

[https://fobaziettarh.com Fobazi] is a former librarian, now a second-year PhD student at University of Illinois-Champaign. An excerpt from her bio reads "Fobazi Ettarh’s research is concerned with the relationships and tensions between the espoused values of librarianship and the realities present in the experiences of marginalized librarians and library users. In 2018, she coined the term and defined the concept of 'vocational awe,' which describe, 'the set of ideas, values, and assumptions librarians have about themselves and the profession that result in beliefs that libraries as institutions are inherently good and sacred, and therefore beyond critique.' In her article [https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocational-awe/ 'Vocational Awe: The Lies We Tell Ourselves,'] she describes how vocational awe can lead to burnout and a sense that one’s own self-care is less important than the work being done. Although written before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ettarh’s words have resonated with many library workers throughout the nation in the current moment, as we strive to serve our patrons and our profession as best we can amidst the competing demands of home, work, and health. Her research has been covered in numerous outlets and she consults in library and corporate contexts on labor, identity, and diversity. She is also the creator of the open-access video game Killing Me Softly: A Game About Microaggressions."

==John Kunze==

John Kunze is a pioneer in the theory and practice of digital libraries. With a background in computer science and mathematics, he wrote open source BSD Unix tools that come pre-installed with Mac and Linux systems. For the past 25 years he has been working on cross-domain issues with libraries, archives, museums, and data centers.

He created the ARK (Archival Resource Key) persistent identifier scheme (a non-paywalled alternative to the DOI and Handle systems) and the N2T.net scheme-agnostic resolver (a global ARK resolver, that also resolves hundreds of identifier schemes). Since 2001, 8.2 billion ARKs have been created by over 1400 organizations, including 10 national libraries, 185 universities, 209 archives, 104 museums, and 101 journals.

He also contributed heavily to the first standards for URLs (RFC1736, RFC1625, RFC2056), library search and retrieval (Z39.50), archival transfer (BagIt - RFC8493), web archiving (WARC), and Dublin Core metadata (RFC2413, RFC2731, ANSI/NISO Z39.85).

His specs and tools for repository microservices -- Pairtree, Namaste, ReDD, oxum, ERC/ANVL, TEMPER, THUMP -- may be found in such places as the HathiTrust and OCFL. Follow-on work in metadata includes creation of the Dublin Kernel and yamz.net. His current professional focus is with the ARK Alliance (arks.org).

With artificial general intelligence’s (AGI’s) recent rapid expansion in libraries as noted by this year’s many AI-focused conference talk proposals, Gebru’s research on AI ethics and her illuminating exploration (with Émile Torres) of AGI through the lens of the TESCREAL bundle of ideologies will hopefully be of interest to all who are motivated to support core library values while engaging with emerging technology.

2024 Keynote Speakers Nominations

2023-11-17T13:16:24Z

Maccabee: Removed example nomination

'''Keynote nominations are now closed. Voting will open soon.'''

__TOC__

==Dawna Ballard==

Dawna I. Ballard (Ph.D., University of California at Santa Barbara) is associate professor of organizational communication and technology in the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin. An expert in chronemics—i.e., the study of time as it is bound to human communication—she researches what drives our pace of life and its impact on the communication practices and long-term vitality of organizations, communities, and individuals.
Dr. Ballard is currently completing a book, Time by Design (under contract at MIT Press), about how effective organizations routinely communicate slow to go fast.

She delivered a keynote at Electronic Resources & Libraries in 2016. She talked about “her work and the search for work/ life balance.” She seems to be focusing on communication among group members, which I think is pertinent to all practitioners in our field and I wonder if she has anything to say about how researchers think about time when organizing and retrieving concepts. She has done keynotes at other professional conferences but no other GLAM-related ones, as far as I can see.

==Dr. Joy Buolamwini==

[https://poetofcode.com/ Dr. Joy Buolamwani ] is a computer scientist and poet of code who uses art and research to illuminate the social implications of artificial intelligence. She founded the Algorithmic Justice League to create a world with more equitable and accountable technology. Her TED Featured Talk on algorithmic bias has over 1.4 million views. Her MIT thesis methodology uncovered large racial and gender bias in AI services from companies like Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon. In 2020, these companies stepped back from selling facial recognition technology to law enforcement. In addition to advising elected officials during US congressional hearings, she serves on the Global Tech Panel to advise world leaders and executives on reducing AI harms.

Dr. Buolamwini has a book coming out in late October 2023 called Unmasking AI which is investigating the harms and biases of AI. I feel she has a number of intersecting interests that are relevant to much of what this conferences/community discusses even though she's not directly involved in the GLAM field. Having a keynote from her would be particularly relevant given how much the GLAM community is currently wrestling with the ethical and professional concerns of using Artificial Intelligence. The algorthimic Justice league she founded has a mission to, "...raise public awareness about the impacts of AI, equip advocates with resources to bolster campaigns, build the voice and choice of the most impacted communities, and galvanize researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners to prevent AI harms." I have no idea if she would be available or if this would be feasible as she's becoming more well-known but just throwing her name out just in case!

==Kawanna Bright==

[http://www.kawannabright.info/ Dr. Kawanna Bright ] is Assistant Professor of Library Science at East Carolina University. Dr. Bright earned her PhD in Research Methods and Statistics from the University of Denver in 2018. Prior to earning her doctorate, Dr. Bright worked as an academic librarian for twelve years, with a focus on reference, instructional services, and information literacy. She earned her MLIS from the University of Washington iSchool in 2003. Dr. Bright's research can inform how we can think about diversifying the field of library workers who code and red flags in positions for libraries.

==Dr. Noelani Arista==

[https://www.mcgill.ca/indigenous/noelani-arista Noelani M. Arista] is an Indigenous historian of Hawaiʻi and the U.S. She is ‘Ōiwi (Hawaiian) born in Honolulu, Oʻahu. She is the Director of the Indigenous Studies Program and an Associate Professor in the History and Classical Studies Department. Her research focuses on the organization of Hawaiian traditional knowledge, intellectual, legal and religious history and the ethical rules and norms governing relationships to ʻike (knowledge).

Arista seeks (ʻimi) to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to apply traditional modes of organizing Hawaiian knowledge in Hawaiian language textual and oral sources to increase community access to ʻike Hawaiʻi, the methods of which will provide useful and scalable models for scholars working in their own indigenous language source base.

Dr. Arista his one of the folks who worked on the [https://www.indigenous-ai.net/ Indigenous AI Working Group]. Her areas of interest as seen on her faculty website include "19th Century U.S. History; Pre-Contact – 19th century Hawaiian legal and intellectual history, governance; AI and Indigenous knowledge organization systems, epistemology and methodology; Indigenous language archives and translation; Indigenous AI & ethics; Colonial and Indigenous history and historiography" I think her take on AI/ML is fascinating, and I think she would be a fabulous keynote speaker for this conference. Her focus is on the ethical use of AI, particularly in relationship to research and scholarship. This is a major subject of interest in many GLAM institutions.

[mailto:snoelani.arista@mcgill.ca Dr. Arista's Faculty Email Address]

==Chuck Severance==

Dr. Chuck Severance is a long-time advocate of open-source educational technology and open educational resources that empower teachers, librarians, and everyday people. His "Python for Everybody" course is the most popular online programming course in the world. He teaches at the University of Michigan's School of Information.

He has a long history of public speaking and has hosted television and podcast programs as an expert on the Internet and technology. A sample of his speeches is available on [http://www.dr-chuck.com/dr-chuck/resume/speaking.htm his website].

For voting form drafting purposes:
"The general theme of my talk would be to take folks through the creation of my Python for Everybody book and curse on Coursera that is current the most popular programming course in the world. A little known fact is that the course was developed over five years of teaching programming to librarians at the University of Michigan School of Information :)"

He has a [bio](https://www.dr-chuck.com/dr-chuck/resume/bio.htm) available.

We should list him as "Dr. Charles R. Severance (a.k.a. Dr. Chuck)".

==Emily Higgs Kopin==

Emily Higgs Kopin is the head of digital collections strategy at the Swarthmore libraries. From her LinkedIn, she "is a librarian/archivist with interest and experience in digital collections, infrastructures, exhibits, and technology." I'm nominating her on the strength of her 2023 Code4Lib lightning talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McqOGzHfmOM&t=4486s), which was easily the funniest talk we've seen in years, and I would like 50 minutes of that, please.

Eli Neiburger joined the staff of the Ann Arbor District Library as a helpdesk technician in 1997 and was IT manager and Deputy Director before being appointed Director of AADL in 2022. Eli has given keynote talks about gaming in libraries, the impact of the web of library services, and embracing open source solutions at library conferences across the US, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. AADL has been rolling its own tech whenever it can for 20+ years, and Eli would be happy to give Code4Lib an entertaining and inspiring overview of what it looks like to run a busy public library using as little proprietary software as possible, from the ILS and catalog to digital archives, from staff tools to the public computing environment. Eli is the author of 2007's GAMERS.. in the LIBRARY?! and contributed to O'Reilly's BOOK: A Manifesto and to Well Played, a games journal from Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center.

== Patricia Garcia ==

Patricia Garcia is a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. Her research and contributions center on gender, youth, race and their intersections with technology and justice. She has led a project with public libraries to study how a computational justice program can support girls of color in developing identities in computing and programming. She would bring a unique perspective that joins educational work with libraries and technology in highly current and topical ways.

More information at [https://www.si.umich.edu/people/patricia-garcia this page].

She says: "If selected, I could speak about the work I've been doing related to critical data studies and the Feminist Data Manifest-No OR the work I am doing with public libraries to design computational justice programs for youth."

== Libby Hemphill ==

Libby Hemphill (Associate Professor, University of Michigan School of Information, Research Associate Professor, U-M Institute for Social Research, and Director, ICPSR’s Resource Center for Minority Data and founding Director, ICPSR’s Social Media Archive) studies social computing and digital curation. Her research on social computing has demonstrated the impact of social media on Congressional behavior, has shown how social media platforms shape public discourse in virtual and IRL public spaces, and has developed a natural language processing approach to detecting and intervening to de-escalate abusive online behavior. Her research in digital curation has studied the responsible and ethical use and reuse of datasets in research, the design of infrastructure and technology to support research data archives, the importance of curation for improving the FAIRness of social media and other data, and the impact of data reuse. Her practice of digital curation at ICPSR has made available transformative data such as TransPop, the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States, and SOMAR, a platform for transparent, reproducible preservation and ethical access to social media data.

==Dawna Ballard==

Dawna I. Ballard (Ph.D., University of California at Santa Barbara) is associate professor of organizational communication and technology in the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin. An expert in chronemics—i.e., the study of time as it is bound to human communication—she researches what drives our pace of life and its impact on the communication practices and long-term vitality of organizations, communities, and individuals.
Dr. Ballard is currently completing a book, Time by Design (under contract at MIT Press), about how effective organizations routinely communicate slow to go fast.

She delivered a keynote at Electronic Resources & Libraries in 2016. She talked about “her work and the search for work/ life balance.” She seems to be focusing on communication among group members, which I think is pertinent to all practitioners in our field and I wonder if she has anything to say about how researchers think about time when organizing and retrieving concepts. She has done keynotes at other professional conferences but no other GLAM-related ones, as far as I can see.

==Dr. Joy Buolamwini==

[https://poetofcode.com/ Dr. Joy Buolamwani ] is a computer scientist and poet of code who uses art and research to illuminate the social implications of artificial intelligence. She founded the Algorithmic Justice League to create a world with more equitable and accountable technology. Her TED Featured Talk on algorithmic bias has over 1.4 million views. Her MIT thesis methodology uncovered large racial and gender bias in AI services from companies like Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon. In 2020, these companies stepped back from selling facial recognition technology to law enforcement. In addition to advising elected officials during US congressional hearings, she serves on the Global Tech Panel to advise world leaders and executives on reducing AI harms.

Dr. Buolamwini has a book coming out in late October 2023 called Unmasking AI which is investigating the harms and biases of AI. I feel she has a number of intersecting interests that are relevant to much of what this conferences/community discusses even though she's not directly involved in the GLAM field. Having a keynote from her would be particularly relevant given how much the GLAM community is currently wrestling with the ethical and professional concerns of using Artificial Intelligence. The algorthimic Justice league she founded has a mission to, "...raise public awareness about the impacts of AI, equip advocates with resources to bolster campaigns, build the voice and choice of the most impacted communities, and galvanize researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners to prevent AI harms." I have no idea if she would be available or if this would be feasible as she's becoming more well-known but just throwing her name out just in case!

She is the Director of the Indigenous Studies Program and an Associate Professor in the History and Classical Studies Department. Her research focuses on the organization of Hawaiian traditional knowledge, intellectual, legal and religious history and the ethical rules and norms governing relationships to ʻike (knowledge).

Arista seeks (ʻimi) to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to apply traditional modes of organizing Hawaiian knowledge in Hawaiian language textual and oral sources to increase community access to ʻike Hawaiʻi, the methods of which will provide useful and scalable models for scholars working in their own indigenous language source base.

Dr. Arista his one of the folks who worked on the [https://www.indigenous-ai.net/ Indigenous AI Working Group]. Her areas of interest as seen on her faculty website include "19th Century U.S. History; Pre-Contact – 19th century Hawaiian legal and intellectual history, governance; AI and Indigenous knowledge organization systems, epistemology and methodology; Indigenous language archives and translation; Indigenous AI & ethics; Colonial and Indigenous history and historiography" I think her take on AI/ML is fascinating, and I think she would be a fabulous keynote speaker for this conference. Her focus is on the ethical use of AI, particularly in relationship to research and scholarship. This is a major subject of interest in many GLAM institutions.

== Livestream QA (Remote) ==
Volunteers for livestream QA will be remotely watching the conference and can notify us if there are any issues with the feed. We'd prefer two or three volunteers per shift, located in different parts of the US/world. All times below (if any are listed) are Eastern Standard Time (EST).

To report a problem (even if you're not an "official" volunteer), you can send a message in the #livestream-qa channel of the Code4Lib Slack.

== IRC/Slack (Technical) ==
Access: Look into technology/procedures to make connecting to, and maintaining a connection to, IRC/Slack less painful. i.e. make sure wifi will allow connection, and someone needs to contact freenode about the sudden influx of people. Demonstrate how to get onto #code4lib during Registration. Offer support for newcomers in #code4lib during the conference.

== Ideas ==

* Aviary: super-crazy cocktails. http://www.molecularrecipes.com/molecular-mixology/aviary-cocktails/ . List your name if you're interested, whether Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday (after newcomer dinners) work, and whether you're just interested in stopping by, or doing a 7 cocktail tasting flight.*
** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.
** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced
** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.
** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight
** wdenton: any night, either drink or flight
** beatricep: sunday/monday drink, highly susceptible to flight by peer pressure..
** ryan hess: sunday/monday drink or flight
** infosoph: sunday/monday yes/yes!!
** [[User:Pfeeley|Pfeeley]]: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drink or flight
** [[User:Ksprague|Ksprague]]: tuesday, drink or flight
** [[User:schwartzray|schwartzray]]: anything on any day
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 11.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday. There seems to be enough interest here to actually have a group, when and where should we meet? I added my email so that we could discuss details off the wiki.
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.
** pgrayove at gmail dot com: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.
** ranti: And I am.
** tshearerlib: Coming in at around the same time and hope to get to the museum by 1:00. Lunch first?
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements. Target for arrival at bar: 7ish. Probably a group gathering to head north around 6:30 in hotel lobby (if you want to take the #8 Halsted bus that is).

== Planned Events ==

===Read/Write Library Field Trip, Monday 2/11===
Field trip to the [http://readwritelibrary.org/ Read/Write Library] 6:30PM-9PM

Drop in whenever during this time.

Come help catalog the Read/Write Library catalog and hack on the library catalog. We will get food or go to a nearby restaurant depending on interest. We will also invite friends from Code for America to hang out and talk civic data. Bring your laptop along if you have one.

Let us know if you are coming so we can figure out food:
* Margaret Heller
* Ranti Junus
* Wayne Schneider
* jrochkind will try to make it
* emily shaw (may be a little late)
* <strike>kenirwin - bailed on acct of pre-conf brain death</strike>
* Andromeda - yes, unless someone gets Aviary reservations
* Chris Clement - may attend
(hey, there are great bars in that neighborhood!)
* wdenton

'''Directions to the library from UIC:'''

''Bus''

Take the #8 Halsted Bus north to Chicago (Bus will say "#8 Halsted/79th North to Broadway/Waveland")
Take the #66 Chicago Bus west to California (Bus will say either "#66 Chicago west to Austin" or "#66 Chicago West to Pulaski." You can take either one because both Austin and Pulaski are further west than we are so both stop at California)
The Chicago bus stops on the west side of California, which is the side of the street we're on. On California, walk a block north to Walton.

''Train + Bus (slightly faster/more reliable, but only by about 5-10 minutes)''

Walk to the UIC/Halsted Blue Line
Take the O'Hare train (toward the Loop) and go all the way through the Loop and back west. Get off at Chicago and use the exit that says "North side of Chicago Ave" (or something similar — I don't remember exactly).
Take the #66 Chicago Bus west to California (Bus will say either "#66 Chicago west to Austin" or "#66 Chicago West to Pulaski." You can take either one because both Austin and Pulaski are further west than we are so both stop at California)
The Chicago bus stops on the west side of California, which is the side of the street we're on. On California, walk a block north to Walton.

=== Flying Trapeze ===
'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD

'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com

'''Class is full.'''

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.

Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).

=== Game Night! ===

See the http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night page for the latest details and to sign up for individual games or add games you're willing to lead/teach!

Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;).

Rough Schedule:
* 7:30 setup
* 7:45 start playing games!
* 10:00 start winding down (don't start new games)
* 10:30 all done, turn off the lights

* I highly recommend that people walk in groups to get back to their respective lodgings. I'll ask folks still around at the end to help me clean up so we can walk back to the conference hotel*

Please bring your badge with. (You don't need to wear it on the way, but that'll help us make sure everyone in the room is supposed to be there.)

We have a conference room (1-470) at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

The original list of people who signed up is below.

I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested in attending. Also not if you can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.

(I've added some comments to the game lists below)
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.
** No prob.
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good.
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G
** mbutler: If someone actually brings Arkham Horror I'd throw down. Otherwise, whateve.
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set].
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG
**Done! I will bring them both -- C
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty
** I'm local and can bring a mahjong set. I've had no one to play with for years, so have probably forgotten how. -Linda B
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang!
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG
**Aww no. left my games at the office. Looks like I'll have to jump in someone else's game.
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.
* kenirwin: interested in attending
* sdellis: attending
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.
* jessebrown: Interested in attending. I can bring Set and Zombie Fluxx.
* terrywbrady: I would like to attend
* dan fehrenbach (dnfehren): I would like to attend, can bring Pandemic if anyone is interested.
* dileshni: interested in attending.
* Corey Harper: definitely interested in attending if space allows.
* saverkamp: interested in attending.
* Emily Shaw: I like games.
* Alan Dyck: I play Carcassonne and Munchkin among others. I see those listed so I'm bringing a game some friends and I have been creating: Wandering Monster.
* Heidi Frank (hf36@nyu.edu) - I love card games like gin/rummy, but am open to anything.
* Sibyl Schaefer - attending, and will bring anything that fits in my carry-on
* cpsarason - I'm up for whatever!

-- *Please, please, please, if you're signing up on this list, also sign up for a paritcular game slot to start out the evening or put your game in: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night
we're having so many people sign up after Jan. 14th we're in risk of overflowing the room. (I should have put in a cap limit, but given how late I realized this, I haven't *

I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.

There's a "Code4Lib 2013" layer in [http://www.layar.com/ Layar], an augmented reality app that runs on both Android and iOS. You can use it to scan around the city to see two kinds of things: 1) tweets using the #c4l13 or #code4lib hashtag (if the tweets are geolocated so they can be
nailed to a point) and 2) points of interest from the [https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213549257652679418473.0004ce6c25e6cdeb0319d&msa=0 shared Google Map].

To use it:

* install Layar on your phone
* run it and click to go into Geo Layers mode
* search for "code4lib 2013"
* launch the layer and look around

'''''Directions: '''''
The Newberry is at 60 W Walton St. It could take half an hour to get there from the conference hotel via CTA, so those of you who wish to take public transit as a group can meet me in the hotel lobby by 3:00. We will then go to the UIC-Halsted El stop (5 blocks from hotel), change trains in the Loop, then walk 3-4 blocks to the Newberry. Otherwise, plan on making your preferred way there and meet in the Newberry lobby by 3:30.

==Full Day==

===Drupal4lib Sub-con Barcamp===
====UIC Forum, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Monday, February 11====
* 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 had to cancel, but we were very fortunate to get Steve Persch to offer to stop by and answer questions and give us some guidance in the afternoon.

'''If you have not signed up. just show up and see Charlie or Cary. We will work out the details!'''

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?

* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery
* overview of tools available

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===
====1-470 Richard J. Daley Library, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Monday, February 11====
* 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 or CouchDB, and Neo4j.

==Half Day Afternoon==
=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===
====1-470 Richard J. Daley Library, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====
* 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!

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 ===
====Seminar Room A of Richard J. Daley Library, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====
* 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.

=== Fail4lib ===
====1-360 Richard J. Daley Library, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====
* Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)
* Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)

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 ===
====UIC Forum, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====
* 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?

Maccabee:

== Ideas ==

* Aviary: super-crazy cocktails. http://www.molecularrecipes.com/molecular-mixology/aviary-cocktails/ . List your name if you're interested, whether Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday (after newcomer dinners) work, and whether you're just interested in stopping by, or doing a 7 cocktail tasting flight.*
** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.
** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced
** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.
** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight
** wdenton: any night, either drink or flight
** beatricep: sunday/monday drink, highly susceptible to flight by peer pressure..
** ryan hess: sunday/monday drink or flight
** infosoph: sunday/monday yes/yes!!
** [[User:Pfeeley|Pfeeley]]: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drink or flight
** [[User:Ksprague|Ksprague]]: tuesday, drink or flight
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 11.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday. There seems to be enough interest here to actually have a group, when and where should we meet? I added my email so that we could discuss details off the wiki.
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.
** pgrayove at gmail dot com: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.
** ranti: And I am.
** tshearerlib: Coming in at around the same time and hope to get to the museum by 1:00. Lunch first?
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements. Target for arrival at bar: 7ish. Probably a group gathering to head north around 6:30 in hotel lobby (if you want to take the #8 Halsted bus that is).

=== Flying Trapeze ===
'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD

'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com

'''Class is full.'''

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.

Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).

If you're interested in signing up, feel free to add your name and contact info to the list below.

=== Game Night! ===

See the http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night page for the latest details and to sign up for individual games or add games you're willing to lead/teach!

Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;).

Rough Schedule:
* 7:30 setup
* 7:45 start playing games!
* 10:30 start winding down (don't start new games)
* 11:00 all done, turn off the lights

We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

The original list of people who signed up is below.

I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested in attending. Also not if you can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.

(I've added some comments to the game lists below)
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.
** No prob.
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good.
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G
** mbutler: If someone actually brings Arkham Horror I'd throw down. Otherwise, whateve.
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set].
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG
**Done! I will bring them both -- C
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty
** I'm local and can bring a mahjong set. I've had no one to play with for years, so have probably forgotten how. -Linda B
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang!
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG
**Aww no. left my games at the office. Looks like I'll have to jump in someone else's game.
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.
* kenirwin: interested in attending
* sdellis: attending
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.
* jessebrown: Interested in attending. I can bring Set and Zombie Fluxx.
* terrywbrady: I would like to attend
* dan fehrenbach (dnfehren): I would like to attend, can bring Pandemic if anyone is interested.
* dileshni: interested in attending.
* Corey Harper: definitely interested in attending if space allows.
* saverkamp: interested in attending.
* Emily Shaw: I like games.
* Alan Dyck: I play Carcassonne and Munchkin among others. I see those listed so I'm bringing a game some friends and I have been creating: Wandering Monster.
* Heidi Frank (hf36@nyu.edu) - I love card games like gin/rummy, but am open to anything.
* Sibyl Schaefer - attending, and will bring anything that fits in my carry-on

-- *Please, please, please, if you're signing up on this list, also sign up for a paritcular game slot to start out the evening or put your game in: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night
we're having so many people sign up after Jan. 14th we're in risk of overflowing the room. (I should have put in a cap limit, but given how late I realized this, I haven't *

I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.

* Aviary: super-crazy cocktails. http://www.molecularrecipes.com/molecular-mixology/aviary-cocktails/ . List your name if you're interested, whether Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday (after newcomer dinners) work, and whether you're just interested in stopping by, or doing a 7 cocktail tasting flight.*
** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.
** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced
** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.
** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight
** wdenton: any night, either drink or flight
** beatricep: sunday/monday drink, highly susceptible to flight by peer pressure..

** infosoph: sunday/monday yes/yes!!
** [[User:Pfeeley|Pfeeley]]: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drink or flight
** [[User:Ksprague|Ksprague]]: tuesday, drink or flight
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 11.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday. There seems to be enough interest here to actually have a group, when and where should we meet? I added my email so that we could discuss details off the wiki.
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.
** pgrayove at gmail dot com: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.
** ranti: And I am.
** tshearerlib: Coming in at around the same time and hope to get to the museum by 1:00. Lunch first?
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements. Target for arrival at bar: 7ish. Probably a group gathering to head north around 6:30 in hotel lobby (if you want to take the #8 Halsted bus that is).

=== Flying Trapeze ===
'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD

'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com

'''Class is full.'''

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.

Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).

If you're interested in signing up, feel free to add your name and contact info to the list below.

=== Game Night! ===

See the http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night page for the latest details and to sign up for individual games or add games you're willing to lead/teach!

Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:

Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;).

Rough Schedule:
* 7:30 setup
* 7:45 start playing games!
* 10:30 start winding down (don't start new games)
* 11:00 all done, turn off the lights

We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm.

(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)

The original list of people who signed up is below.

I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested in attending. Also not if you can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.

(I've added some comments to the game lists below)
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.
** No prob.
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good.
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G
** mbutler: If someone actually brings Arkham Horror I'd throw down. Otherwise, whateve.
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set].
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG
**Done! I will bring them both -- C
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty
** I'm local and can bring a mahjong set. I've had no one to play with for years, so have probably forgotten how. -Linda B
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang!
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG
**Aww no. left my games at the office. Looks like I'll have to jump in someone else's game.
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.
* kenirwin: interested in attending
* sdellis: attending
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.
* jessebrown: Interested in attending. I can bring Set and Zombie Fluxx.
* terrywbrady: I would like to attend
* dan fehrenbach (dnfehren): I would like to attend, can bring Pandemic if anyone is interested.
* dileshni: interested in attending.
* Corey Harper: definitely interested in attending if space allows.
* saverkamp: interested in attending.
* Emily Shaw: I like games.
* Alan Dyck: I play Carcassonne and Munchkin among others. I see those listed so I'm bringing a game some friends and I have been creating: Wandering Monster.
* Heidi Frank (hf36@nyu.edu) - I love card games like gin/rummy, but am open to anything.
* Sibyl Schaefer - attending, and will bring anything that fits in my carry-on

-- *Please, please, please, if you're signing up on this list, also sign up for a paritcular game slot to start out the evening or put your game in: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night
we're having so many people sign up after Jan. 14th we're in risk of overflowing the room. (I should have put in a cap limit, but given how late I realized this, I haven't *

I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.

The Newberry is at 60 W Walton St. It could take half an hour to get there from the conference hotel via CTA, so those of you who wish to take public transit as a group can meet me in the hotel lobby by 3:00. We will then go to the UIC-Halsted El stop (5 blocks from hotel), change trains in the Loop, then walk 3-4 blocks to the Newberry.
