==Programming Sign-up==

Code4Lib Midwest programming depends on the folks attending the conference. Please consider giving a presentation or lightning talk, or submitting your ideas for the hackfest/workshop.

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 Wednesday or Thursday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations or Workshops===

'''ActiveSierra''' - Sean Crowe and James Van Mil: while waiting for a useful API from III, we've modeled useful bits of the Sierra database for use in Rails apps and in vanilla ruby. We'd be able to present the SierraDNA and ActiveRecord/ActiveModel frameworks with some of the tools we're building (~1 hour?). If folks have access to their home III database systems, we could also host a workshop/hackfest around these tools.

'''Text mining: An introduction''' - This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the use of Python's Natural Language Toolkit ([http://www.nltk.org NLTK]), and through this process participants will learn the rudiments of text mining. While it may sound trivial, the workshop will count and tabulate words. How many words are in a given document? What are those words, and how often do they occur? How significant are those words compared to a similar sent in a different document? Visualize the comparison. Identify where selected words appear in a document and visualize that. After identifying significant words in a text, use a simple keyword-in-context (concordance) application to understand who the words are used in the text. Using these simple techniques a person can "read" a large corpuse of materials quickly and easily. Participants will be expected to have their own computers with the NLTK previously installed. --Eric Lease Morgan (University of Notre Dame)

===Lightning Talks===

==Full Day==

=== Developing applications using REST web services ===

Been hearing about web services but don’t know where to start to build something? Have you built applications that use read services but are stumped by OAuth, Content Negotiation and HTTP Headers? Come dig in and learn how to build applications that interact with both read and write REST services. We’ll cover the basic principles and practices of REST services and discuss the Atom Publishing Protocol as a REST service and its extensibility. The group will examine and test the CouchDB HTTP API by building a simple list creation tool. You’ll learn how OCLC’s platform web services leverage Atom to expose the data and business processes from OCLC’s library systems. By the end of the session, you’ll know the basic principles of REST services, be able to perform Create, Read, Update and Delete operations via REST and be able to authenticate to REST services via API keys and OAuth.

Come ready to learn and code!

=== [[2012 Linkfest Preconference|Linkfest]] ===

We've had talks and sessions galore about Linked Data at code4lib in past years. Let's focus on linking. Bring data you want to publish and link to or link from and your ideas about new ways we can push data linking into being part of our regular approach to how we put our libraries' content and services on the web. At the start of the session we'll run a quick poll to see who wants to link to what and how, and we'll pair or group up and get to work from there. May a kajillion links bloom!

If you need an "intro to linked data" we can prep a good list of readings/talks to review before you come. But please come ready to link!

How are libraries using tools like Drupal, Islandora, Dublin Core, Solr and Blacklight to make article, catalog and/or repository content discoverable via a single interface? If you’re interested in these issues, challenges and conundrums join us for a morning of thinking, dreaming and scheming.

Speakers/Facilitators will be:
- Thom Cox - Manager of Library Information Technology Services - Tufts University

=== Git -r done ===

A session to cover all things Git, everyone's favorite distributed version control system. This session should cover a little bit of the history of Git, how it works, and how it's different than other version controls systems like SVN. Practical application should also be covered, including how to clone existing repos and contribute code back to them, how to host your own repository, and best practices for setting up a distributed network.

Looking for attendees with real-life Git experience to share it, so we can all broaden our understanding of possible use-cases and nifty advanced features.

=== Blacklight ===

This session will be walk-through of the architecture of Blacklight and what we have been improving since the rails 3 upgrade. In addition to the architecture of the software, we will also briefly discuss the architecture of the Blacklight community and what has made it successful so far.

For part of the session we will install Blacklight live and get it up and running. This install demo will include a How-To on basic customizations in Blacklight using a test-driven approach (one of the cornerstones of the Blacklight community).

For more information about Blacklight see our wiki ( http://projectblacklight.org/ ) and our GitHub repo ( https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight ). We will also send out some brief instructions beforehand for those that would like to setup their environments to follow along and get Blacklight up and running on their local machines.

=== [[Digging into metadata: context, code, and collaboration]] ===

Working with library/archival metadata is difficult. This preconference will tackle pressing questions and will show some of the intricacies of metadata (including AACR2/MARC) with exercises to demonstrate why inconsistencies exist in the data. What steps can the cataloging & metadata community take to help improve the quality of this data? What tools & techniques could help? Rules have evolved over time leaving dirty legacy data. Systems have impacted--and will continue to impact--data structure & design. How can this data be aggregated and refined for use in a new emerging data environments? What assumptions can safely be made and when do you need to inquire about local practice? We will end with a hack-fest where you can ask questions of experienced catalogers and get help with your metadata related problems. Bring your laptops and data.

=== "Geo" ===
This session will explore, we hope collaboratively, the presentation of objects on maps. There will be a section on workflow, a section on discovering objects via "geobrowse," a section discovery of objects via "geosearch," and an exploration of the discovery and presentation of geo-referenced images (e.g. historic maps). There will be open discussion on other approaches to map-based discovery. Emphasis will be placed on simplicity of workflow and implementation. Technologies include: Atom, Django, Solr, and OpenLayers.

2012 Craft Brew Drinkup

2012-02-02T16:39:07Z

Mbaggett: /* Sign up */

'''Wednesday, February 8, after 9 PM, 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.''

=== 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].

=== 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.
