Notes:

Obstacles –
Paying for training

How do you find training?
Metro
Online
Regional organizations/ conferences
Higher Education Training consortiums

Online training – lots of folks participated, but not a lot like it.

Why not so good?
Lack of interaction – no one to talk to (asynchronous sessions)
Completing tasks – not the same as active learning
When taking an online course – co-workers assume that you are they can interrupt you. (drive by’s in the cubicle environment)
When taking a course with other people – it is a nudge to get it done.
But online training does offer flexibility for scheduling
“Aspirational “ training harder to make time for
Ideas about Code4Lib preconferences:

Digital humanities – data visualization

Other conferences for Code4Lib workshops
AMIA
DLF

Topics – should they be deep technical of something you already know – or learn something new ? Room divided . Tension between learning something to stay relevant, and learning something new.

MeetUp.com was noted as a resource.
Networking a key part of Face2Face learning.

Libraries themselves should offer more classes for library staff.
Quick - that people can do in/on their own time.

*idea *Weekly code Read – picking popular items on github – invite library staff and other interested folks across campus
idea – Lunch and learns

“problem” – there is no one around in the immediate are that is doing what I am doing – reliant on virtual networks. Challenge of rural-based / small community developers. No just a lone technologist but this challenge is also for those who are working on very specialized programs – or someone who coding is only a portion of their job.

What constitutes good training?
Hands on experiences – actually doing something.
Walking away from something and knowing what to do next
Having hand outs or documentation that you can take away
Clearly articulate “why I am learning this”; how this skill can be applied, what you will achieve at the end of the course/training

Practitioner-led training (community based training)
Can we vote on what would be good sessions that can be translated to “road shows” ?
Led to conversation on post-rating sessions on level of “techiness”, good teachers, “skills to know”
What is the baseline knowledge? And can the baseline be achieved through online?

Hacker Epistemology? A concept to explore.

You might not retain the knowledge – but you retain the confidence from learning a new skill.

Mention of an Edx.org course that talks about this.

How do you less anxiety during a session when you feel absolutely lost?

F2F and Online training can create a community of learners – how do we create a community around a skill set/ tools – in order to support the learning effort – and community understanding.

Pressure to learn as a result of not being able to work with the department or personnel who have the skills already.

How to you bring new learning back home? How do you empower folks at your institution to learn new things, beyond naming and shaming? How do we foster a learning environment at home? Repurpose discarded hardware to be used to build learning environments/sandbox environments. Also mentioned – EC2/Amazon to created a sandbox environment. RailsBridge walks you through setting up an [XX}environment as well. Another resource is AppFog https://www.appfog.com/

Other training besides technical:
Management training
Intro to Hacker culture for managers that did not come up through developer community
Problem Resolution
Meeting Facilitation Training – DeEtta Jones was mentioned as a resource
Communication training – on a number of issues.
Marketing Training
“how to talk to” series: librarians, managers, sys admins
Managing Bureaucracy
Project Management Training – has to be open to everyone – across the board
Technical Writing/Documentation
More Train the Trainer Workshops

==="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.

===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, we're meeting in the hotel lobby at 6pm.

Going to [http://www.pikebrewing.com/ The Pike Brewing Company]. They can't take a reservation for the dining room, but we can ofder food off the same menu in the bar area. Apparently there are tables that can be pushed together so we can all sit together. Let's do this. (Or, if you don't like this plan make another one :) I'll be offline this afternoon. --tara)

===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 Anne Repass, your tour guide by the gift shop, just inside the 5th Ave entrance.

2012 Lightning Talks Signup

2012-02-07T18:06:00Z

Rlfrick: /* Wednesday, 4:00-5:00pm [12 slots] */

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

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

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

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

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

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

You might also like Mark Fowler's's [http://www.perl.com/pub/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html Advice for Giving a Lightning Talk].

2011 Breakout Sessions

2011-02-08T19:06:47Z

Rlfrick:

''''''NOTE: Breakout sessions are usually proposed at the conference or shortly befrore the conference begins"''

Those interested in the same project/problem can hang out in a space together for 70 minute blocks. Generally the person who suggests the topic will take on the role as moderator to begin and moderate the discussion. Anyone can propose a breakout session - please think about whether you would want a session to be held on Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on the order of talks and who you hope will attend. There are lots of spaces in the IMU where small groups can congregate and we do have a couple of rooms including the large Alumni Hall space for this. We will route different proposed sessions to the different rooms depending on a quick show-of-hands survey just before each one begins.

This page will list any sessions proposed, but there will also be flip charts outside the meeting room where more sessions can be proposed. '''Please include your name when proposing a session.
