=== Reception at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia / Mütter Museum , Tuesday, March 8th ===

All attendees are invited to join us for a "disturbingly informative" opening reception at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, home of America’s finest museum of medical history. [http://muttermuseum.org/ The Mütter Museum] displays its beautifully preserved collections of anatomical specimens, models, and medical instruments in a 19th-century “cabinet museum” setting.

The reception includes an open bar and free access to the museum exhibits from 5:45PM through 7:45PM. We will also provide a selection of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore friendly appetizers featuring: Pennsylvania flatbreads, a locally-sourced variety of sausages, and a Mediterranean spread that includes three different varieties of hummus and other plates.

=== LibTechWomen Meetup, Wednesday, March 9th ===

An informal meetup for women and their friends in library technology organized by [http://libtechwomen.org/ #libtechwomen]. No need to RSVP. We'll make sure there's an announcement ahead of time, and some of us will be in the hotel lobby at 5:15 to point people in the right direction.

When: Wednesday, March 9th - 5:30pm - 7pm

Where: [http://www.nationalmechanics.com/ National Mechanics] ([http://nationalmechanics.com/philadelphia-restaurant-menu menu]) at [http://nationalmechanics.com/philadelphia-hours-directions 22 South 3rd St]

Come have a drink (soda is a fine choice!) Eat a snack or a big meal. Stay as long as you want. We just want a good time for the community to connect and chat.

NOTE: There is a small chance we might overcrowd National Mechanics. If we do, there many options within one block. We'll make sure to coordinate such "satellites" if need be.

Questions? Contact [mailto:deibel@uw.edu Kate]

=== Play and Share in the Conference Hotel, Wednesday, March 9th ===
A large space in the conference hotel will be available for conference attendees to gather and socialize, play games and share goodies. We will be providing tables and chairs for Board Game Night ([https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y9Iz_tLu6j0gUAeq3iVWQTdSAIDOFaJryzswXF41tgs/edit#gid=0 list of games being brought]), and some attendees are planning to organize an acoustic jam session. You are also welcome to bring stuff to share, from craft sodas and beers to baked goods to local treats ([https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23cannoli4lib&src=typd #cannoli4lib]).

== Social Map - Places of Interest==

== Ideas ==

* A trip to [http://barcadephiladelphia.com/food/ Barcade] for vintage arcade games, craft beer, and tacos. Only a ten minute train ride from the conference hotel.

= Code4Lib 2016 Committees =

''Many hands make for light work.''

Hosting a conference is incredibly complex, and it cannot be done without the help of the entire community. If you are interested in being an awesome person and applying your skills to a particular part of the Code4Lib 2016 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (please provide a contact). Each committee must have a Primary Contact (chair), Secondary Contact (co-chair), and Documentarian (secretary). The role of the Documentarian is to transcribe key information to future conference committees, such as timelines, costs, process, etc. Feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees. When adding your name, please indicate 'v' if you are a veteran on the committee so that we ensure committees are not made up entirely of newbies.

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

NabilKashyap: /* Obey the Testing Goat!: Test Driven Web Development From The Ground Up */

= PROPOSALS ARE CLOSED : PLEASE DO NOT ADD NEW PRECONFERENCES TO THIS PAGE =

Proposals were accepted through December 6th, 2013.

It would be really, super duper helpful if folks who think they might want to attend a pre-conference could indicate interest by adding your name to a session below.

===Note===
Attendance at a pre-conference will require a small fee ''due at the time of conference registration".

Although this was specified in the email announcements relating to pre-conferences, it was not added to this page until December 2nd. I (Adam C.) apologize for the omission and I hope this will not cause any "sticker shock." Putting your name on this list does not incur any obligation on your part, but we'll be using it to gauge interest and work out room assignments.

Please put your pre-conference on the list in the following format:

=Code4Lib 2014 Pre-Conference Proposals=

===Open Refine Hackfest===
'''"Half-Day[Morning]"'''
* Contact [[User:bibliotechy|Chad Nelson]], chadbnelson@gmail.com

[http://openrefine.org/ Open Refine] is a powerful open source tool for wrangling messy data that can also be used to help in the creation of Linked Data via the [https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconciliation-Service-API Reconciliation API]. It is possible to write reconciliation services against API's, like the [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/04/reconciling-author-names-using-open.html VIAF service] or, even just against local authority files for helping maintain authority control

The session would first introduce Open Refine, then walk through building a reconciliation service, and the rest of the session would be a hackfest where we build new reconciliation services for public consumption or local use.

===Responsive Design Hackfest===
'''"Half-Day [Afternoon]"'''
* Contact Jim Hahn, University of Illinois, jimfhahn@gmail.com
* Contact David Ward, University of Illinois, dh-ward@illinois.edu

This structured hackfest will give attendees an opportunity to explore methods to create responsive mobile apps using the Bootstrap framework [http://getbootstrap.com/]and a set of APIs for accessing library data. We will start with an API template for creating space-based mobile tools that draw from work coming out of the IMLS funded Student/Library Collaborative grant [http://www.library.illinois.edu/nlg_student_apps]. Available APIs will include a room reservation template and codebase for implementing at any campus and the set of Minrva catalog APIs generating JSONP [http://minrvaproject.org/services.php].

Hosts will give a brief report of a study on student hacking projects and interests in mobile library apps that are the basis for the templates utilized in this Hackathon. By the end of the pre-conference attendees will have a sample responsive mobile web app in Bootstrap 3 to bring back to their campus which can plug into their site-based content.

===Fail4Lib 2014===
'''Half Day [TBD, probably afternoon]'''

Contacts:
* Andreas Orphanides, akorphan (at) ncsu.edu
* Jason Casden, jmcasden (at) ncsu.edu

The task of design (and the work that we do as library coders) is intimately tied to failure. Failures, both big and small, motivate us to create and improve. Failures are also occasionally the result of our work. Understanding and embracing failure, encouraging enlightened risk-taking, and seeking out opportunities to fail and learn are essential to success in our field. At Fail4Lib, we'll talk about our own experiences with projects gone wrong, explore some famous design failures in the real world, and talk about how we can come to terms with the reality of failure, to make it part of our creative process -- rather than something to be feared.

The schedule may include the following:

* Case studies. We'll look at some classic failures from the literature: What can we learn from the mistakes of others?
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Talk about your own experiences with rough starts, labor pains, and doomed projects in your own work: What can we learn from our own (and each others') failures?
* Group therapy. Let's talk about how to deal with risk management, failed projects, experimental endeavors, and more: How can we make ourselves, our colleagues, and our organizations more fault tolerant? How do we make sure we fail as productively as possible?

* Corey Harper, corey (dot) harper (at) nyu.edu
* Robert Sanderson, azaroth42 (at) gmail.com
* Robert Warren, rwarren (at) math.carleton.ca

We will hack at the intersection of diverse content from Libraries, Archives and Museums and bleeding edge tools from computational linguistics for slicing and dicing that content. Did you just acquire the email archives of a startup company? Maybe you can automatically build an org chart. Have you got metadata in a slew of languages? Perhaps you can search it all using one query. Is name authority control for e-resources getting too costly? Let’s see if entity linking techniques can help. These are just a few teasers.

There’ll be plenty of content and tools supplied, but please bring your own [data] too -- you’ll hack with it in new ways throughout the day. We’ll get started with some lightning talks on what we’ve brought,then we’ll break up into groups to experiment and work on the ideas that appeal. Three guaranteed outcomes: you’ll walk away with new ideas, new tools, and new people you’ll have met.

workshop, we will discuss how Hydra can provide discovery, delivery, and
management services for geospatial assets, as well as solicit questions about
your own GIS projects. We aim to help answer the following questions you might have about putting geospatial data into your Hydra-based digital library:

* What are the types of geospatial data?
* How to dive into Hydra?
* How to model geospatial holdings with Hydra?
* How to discover and view geospatial data?
* How to build a geospatial data infrastructure?
* What are common approaches and problems?

===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===
'''Full Day'''

Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian]

'''Description'''

Librarianship is largely made up of women, yet women are significantly underrepresented in tech positions, on any level, within libraries themselves. Why? What are we doing to encourage women to become more involved in STEM within librarianship? What kind of message are we sending when library technology keynotes remain almost resolutely male? How are we changing the face of technology, not only within libraries, but with the field itself? How are we training our staff and colleagues in the areas of fairness and removal of bias? Our vendors?

Lots of tough questions.

While the conversation has been going on via various blogs and articles within the last few years, it was given a public face at [http://infotoday.com/il2013/day.asp?day=Monday#session_D105 Internet Librarian 2013] where a panel of 7 (four women, three men) gave personal experiences on the above and then opened up the conversation to the audience. As eye opening and enriching the conversation was, a 45 minute panel was not enough. One thing remains clear: We need to keep the conversation moving forward and start making some radical changes in the way we think, act, and how we need to harness this to start making real changes within librarianship itself.

Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more

Those attending should expect: Begin with opening up the conversation of experiences and talking about what is most needed, spending remaining time putting together live, usable solutions to start implementing as well as pushing the conversation forward at local levels

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu

The FileAnalyzer (http://georgetown-university-libraries.github.io/File-Analyzer/) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:

* validating digitized and reformatted files
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest
* manipulating ILS import and export files

The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.

The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.

The first half of this session will be targeted to potential users and developers. The second half of the session will be targeted towards developers who are interested in developing custom rules for the application.

''Session Overview''
* Overview of the application
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application
* Compiling and building the application
* Coding a custom file processing task

===Obey the Testing Goat!: Test Driven Web Development From The Ground Up===
'''Half-Day [tbd - probably afternoon]'''
* Contact [[User:Mredar|Mark Redar]], mredar[at]gmail.com

Test driven development is a proven method for producing better quality code. But I've found it hard to follow a strict TDD methodology when starting new web projects. How do you write that first test when there is no code or web pages created yet.

In this session, we will follow the excellent book [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029533.do "Test-Driven Web Development with Python"] to create a simple web site in Django following TDD from the first character typed. Come ready to code and test. No prior knowledge of python or Django required.
