So this restaurant which is a 10 minute ($15) cab ride away and which also serves Brazilian cuisine (including the ever-tasty feijoada) will have to do.

==="Get Lamp" viewing Tuesday (9 PM) ===

"Tuesday, February 7, 9 PM or shortly after -Courtyard Ballroom"

Adam Wead and Michael Klein are organizing a viewing of [http://www.getlamp.com/ Get Lamp: The Text Adventure Documentary]

It's not about Linux, Apache, MySQL or PHP, but if you don't have a one, you might get eaten by a grue.

If there is additional interest, there may be another viewing this week.

===Morning Run Wednesday===
I (Ray Schwartz) will not be running on Wednesday. Though several others have said that they will meet at 7am in the Hotel Lobby. I would recommend to walk straight down west to the water front and turn right-heading north, following the pedestrian path. It goes on or some miles, so it is a good choice.

===Veg*n Dinner Wednesday===

We'll pick a place with lots of veg*n options to go eat Wednesday for dinner. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians welcome.

*[http://lovinghut.us/seattle/index.html Loving Hut] Modest price. 1 mile from hotel. Will do bill splitting if we let them know up front.

Talked with Loving Hut and made a reservation for 15 for 6:30. Meet in the hotel lobby at 6.

===Meat-Up Dinner Wednesday===

RIP Meat-Up. Going to Amazon for hurricanes.

(if you do not find a suitable burger joint, there are also some top-notch steakhouses in Seattle. Both the Metropolitan Grill and El Gaucho are delightful if folks are OK with $50 steaks. Just FYI, not trying to hijack your meat-up, Cary!. -mjgiarlo)

===Evergreen/Koha and friends dinner Wednesday===
Put your name and any food limitations, or suggestions of places to go. We'll figure where we're going later. For now, let's assume we're meeting in the hotel lobby at 6pm.

Since I don't see any seafood restaurant for dinners I'm (Anoop) suggesting this place and can make reservations:

===Wednesday afternoon tour===
Tour on Tuesday was nice, but less of a "behind the scenes" experience than I'd hoped. The tour guide talked a bit about the building, architecture and some of the design aspects that worked (and didn't). Unfortunately the Wed tour will not include the automatic materials sorting room. Again, max 20 people.

Also, Wednesday needs a group wrangler.

Meet the tour guide by the gift shop, just inside the 5th Ave entrance.

==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!

==Half Day Morning==

=== 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!

=== Knocking Down Silos: Tools and Approaches for Simplifying Discovery ===

What strategies have you used to merge silos to give users a more streamlined search experience? 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
- Ken Varnum – Web Systems Manager - University of Michigan Libraries
- Stephen Westman – Analyst Programmer, Emerging Technologies and Services - Oregon State University Libraries

==Half Day Afternoon==

=== 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.

=== DACS and EAD Overview ===

This session will look at what DACS (Describing Archives: a Content Standard) is and describe the ten required elements. Then there will be an overview of what EAD is, how it works, and the required elements. The final part will be a practice session on taking a paper finding aid and coding it using DACS and EAD.

=== [[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.
