Code4Lib 2022 Conference Committees

2021-12-21T16:15:50Z

Sclapp: Added myself (sclapp@ccsu.edu) as volunteer to Preconference & Community Committees

= Code4Lib 2022 Conference Committees =

Hosting a conference is 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 2022 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.

NECode4Lib meeting will be hosted by MIT.

'''When''' - Friday, May 29th

'''Where''' - MIT, [https://whereis.mit.edu/?go=34 Building 34], room 401A (Grier Room A).

'''Registration Cost''' - Free!

On the map link above, the Kendall/MIT stop is just outside building E38. Parking is also available at the terminal stations on the red line - the easiest to reach if you are coming from outside Boston is probably Alewife in Arlington.

* We are also looking into helping arrange carpooling. More information to come.

====Hotels====

2015 Craft Drinkup

2015-02-08T04:16:08Z

Sclapp:

When: Tuesday, February 10th - 7pm - 10pm (ish)

Where: eBay Offices - 1400 SW 5th Ave, Portland, OR 97201

The Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib 2015 is all about sharing and enjoying good beer, soda, and other drinks with fellow conference attendees. The idea is to bring bottles of your favorite beers or non-alcoholic drinks.

While you're not obligated to bring local brews from wherever you're from, participants are definitely encouraged to bring brews that you think is special and might be somewhat hard for others outside your area to find. Homebrew is especially welcome as are non-alcoholic beverages. There will be hot water available for those who want to bring in their tea blends as well!

This year, eBay has agreed to host the Code4Lib Drinkup at their offices in downtown Portland, a 6 block walk from the conference hotel. Attendees should expect to bring something to share, either drinks or snacks.

Please Note: The space must be cleaned up and all folks gone no later than 11pm.

Space is limited to the first 200 people who register.

== Signup ==
Please sign up below to share the brews and bottles you're thinking of bringing along and make any special requests (but don't expect that your wishes will be granted).

=== code4lib/Write The Docs barcamp ===

'''"Full Day"''', with options for jumping in for half a day

* code4lib wrangler: Becky Yoose, yoosebec at grinnell dot edu
* Write the Docs contacts: TBA

Abstract

Documentation. We all know that we need it for things we develop, but most of us either keep putting it off or write documentation that is not maintained, clear, concise, and so on. We're all guilty! So what's stopping us from doing better docs? Luckily, Portland is also the home to the NA Write the Docs conference, and is home for many folks who live and breathe documentation. This barcamp is open to both code4lib and non-code4lib conference attendees and is intended to provide a space where code4libbers can find practices and tools in creating better documentation for all as well as documentation wonks can find out ways in which the library wonks can help with better documentation access and organization.

Remember, like metadata, documentation is a love note to the future.

More information about Write the Docs at http://conf.writethedocs.org/

There will be a nominal fee (t/b/d) for non-Code4LibCon attendees (subject to organizer approval).

* Justin Simpson, Artefactual Systems, jsimpson@artefactual.com
* Chris Fitzpatrick, ArchivesSpace, chris.fitzpatrick@lyrasis.org
* Alexandra Chassanoff, BitCurator Access, bitcurator@gmail.com

Abstract:

What does it mean to Code for Archives? Is it different than coding for libraries, and if so, how?

Code4Lib is a wonderful and successful model (you must agree or you wouldn't be reading this). This workshop is an attempt to create a space to replicate the model in an Archival context. A space to talk about development for archives, and the particular challenges of developing archival systems. Topics to discuss include Integration between different Archival software tools, and between Archival tools/workflows and larger institutional tools like institutional repositories, discovery and access systems.

The schedule may include the following:

* Panel type conversations about the State of Art in Archives
* Case Studies - discussion of workflows at specific institutions, including gaps in tools and how those are being addressed or could be addressed
* Tool Demos - access to demos of some of the open source tools used in an Archival Context (examples include ArchivesSpace, Archivematica, BitCurator, AtoM)

Artefactual will provide demos running Archivematica and AtoM, Lyrasis will do so for ArchivesSpace, BitCurator will for BitCurator. We encourage others to chime in here to expand the list of tools available to touch and play with.

When signing up, please indicate if you are an end-user or a developer.

=== Fail4Lib 2015 ===

'''Half Day [TBD, probably afternoon]'''

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

Abstract:

Failure. Failure never changes. Since failure is an inescapable part of our professional work, it's important to be familiar with it, to acknowledge it, and to grow from it -- and, in contravention to longstanding tradition, to accept it as a fact of development life. 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 shunned. Let's train ourselves to understand and embrace failure, encourage enlightened risk-taking, and seek out opportunities to fail and learn. This way, when we do what we do -- and fail at what we do -- we'll do so with grace and without fear.

This year's preconference will include new case studies and an improved discussion format. Repeat customers are welcome! (Fail early, fail often.)

The schedule may include the following:

* Case studies. Avoid our own mistakes by bearing witness to the failures of others.
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Let's learn from our own (and each others') failures.
* Group therapy. Vent about your own experiences in a judgment-free setting. Explore how we can make our organizations less risk-averse and more failure-tolerant.

=== Coding Custom Solutions for Every Department in the Library with File Analyzer ===

'''"Half Day [Morning]"'''

* Terry Brady, Georgetown University Library, twb27@georgetown.edu

Abstract

The Georgetown University Library has shared an application called the [http://georgetown-university-libraries.github.io/File-Analyzer/ File Analyzer] that has allowed us to build custom solutions for nearly every department in the library.

* Analyzing Marc Records for the Cataloging department
* Transferring ILS invoices for the University Account System for the Acquisitions department
* Delivering patron fines to the Bursar’s office for the Access Service department
* Summarizing student worker timesheet data for the Finance department
* Validating counter compliant reports for the Electronic Resources department
* Preparing ingest packages for the Digital Services department
* Validating checksums for the Preservation department

This hands on workshop will step through the components of the application framework. Workshop participants will install and develop custom File Analyzer tasks in this session.

The workshop agenda will loosely follow the [https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer/wiki/File-Analyzer-Training----Code4Lib-2014 pre-conference agenda from Code4Lib 2014].

=== Confessions of the (Accidental) Code Hoarder: How to make your Code Sharable: ===

'''Half Day [Whenever]'''

* Karen A. Coombs, OCLC, coombsk@oclc.org

Abstract
Have you built something cool and useful that you want to share with others? This preconference session will discuss techniques and tools for sharing code. Using our own OCLC Developer Network PHP authentication code libraries as an example, we will discuss a set of recommended best practices for how to share your code.

We’ll start with coding standards and test writing so you can be confident of the quality of your code. Next we'll discuss inline documentation as a tool for developers and how auto-generating documentation will save you time and effort. Lastly we'll provide an overview of the tricky areas of dependency and package management, and distribution tools. Along the way, we'll cover PHP coding standards, testing, and popular PHP tools including PHPDoc for documentation, Composer for smooth installations, and using GitHub and Packagist to manage distribution, updates and community feedback.

=== CANCELLED: ''UXtravaganza'' ===
'''"Half or Full Day [Based on Interest?, Morning/Afternoon Doesn’t Matter]"'''

* William Hicks, University of North Texas, William.hicks@unt.edu
* Volunteers?

Abstract

I’m envisioning a 1/2 of full day for front-end developers, content strategy people, and other misfits with an interest in user experience, where we can talk about our shared problems, use cases, the state of current research, and play with each other’s sites. A half day seems doable, but if there’s significant enough interest we could push for a full? Here are a few of the things I think might be interesting to see happen:

* '''Analytics Share-fest:''' A few volunteers demonstrate data about their websites, catalogs, archival/digital collections. Most of us know our own sites but it would be interesting/validating to share this data with others so we can start to see commonalities between institutions, in certain kinds of systems, etc. For anyone using event tracking, or using click- or heat-maps, this would be a great opportunity to show off what people are seeing.

* '''UX Best Practices Catch Up:''' This spring I had the opportunity to attend a few days worth of usability workshops from the Nielsen-Norman Group, most of which was focused on mobile. I could distill down a lot of the information into an short presentation. Since this is a constantly moving area of research it would be nice to see a few people do other similar short presentations on some current trends/findings relevant to libraries, search, etc.

* '''Mobile Dev Lab:''' The UNT Libraries has been collecting a small set of smartphones and tablets for testing and development. Basically an [http://labup.org Open Device Lab]. We have about a dozen devices now of varying sizes, OS, OS Versions, + Google Glass. I’ll bring the devices, you can bring yours, and assuming we can get the wifi up and running we can test our sites/services with our big sausage fingers rather than pretending to do so through emulators and the one or two devices we each usually have on hand. If anyone is game they can do a tutorial on Browser-based Inspector Tools, Browser-Cams, or other testing services.

* '''The Eye’s Have It.''' The UNT Libraries is also in the process of acquiring an eye tracker and software for usability and other gaze-based research studies. We’ll take possession of it shortly after this pre-conference proposal is due and will have a couple of months to play with them before the conference. Assuming we can get our act together learning the device and can get past the technical hurdles of setting it up at the pre-conference, we could try to do some live demos on each other’s sites; i.e. You nominate a site/service, someone in the audience volunteers to wear the device, and we all watch them struggle do the tasks you request on a projector. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. It would hardly be scientific, but it sure would be fun. As a backup, if we have some sites nominated beforehand, I can run a few students at my library through some tasks here and we can show off the results to the crowd.

For those of you wanting to attend and help out, I’d really like to see some discussion on typography, writing for the web, “dealing with business/administrative requirements from on-high", maybe do some prototyping exercises, etc. Similarly if anyone is interested in doing some tutorials on bootstrap or how-to’s on running a usability test, that would be rad. But we need you to step up and steer part of the time for most of this to work, so if you are interested in some aspect, and especially if you want to volunteer to lead a bit of the time, contact me.

=== Visualizing Library Data ===

'''"Half Day [Morning||Afternoon]"'''

* Matt Miller, matthewmiller@nypl.org, New York Public Library, NYPL Labs

Visualizing your institution’s data can give new insight about your holding’s strengths, weaknesses and outliers. They can also provide potential new avenues for discovery and access. This half day session will focus on programmatically visualizing library metadata. Emphasis will be on creating web-based visualizations utilizing libraries such as d3.js but attention paid towards visualizing large datasets while keeping them web accessible. By then end of the session participants will have template, sample code and methodologies enabling them to start producing visualization with their own data.

=== code4lib/Write The Docs barcamp ===

'''"Full Day"''', with options for jumping in for half a day

* code4lib wrangler: Becky Yoose, yoosebec at grinnell dot edu
* Write the Docs contacts: TBA

Abstract

Documentation. We all know that we need it for things we develop, but most of us either keep putting it off or write documentation that is not maintained, clear, concise, and so on. We're all guilty! So what's stopping us from doing better docs? Luckily, Portland is also the home to the NA Write the Docs conference, and is home for many folks who live and breathe documentation. This barcamp is open to both code4lib and non-code4lib conference attendees and is intended to provide a space where code4libbers can find practices and tools in creating better documentation for all as well as documentation wonks can find out ways in which the library wonks can help with better documentation access and organization.

Remember, like metadata, documentation is a love note to the future.

More information about Write the Docs at http://conf.writethedocs.org/

There will be a nominal fee (t/b/d) for non-Code4LibCon attendees (subject to organizer approval).

* Justin Simpson, Artefactual Systems, jsimpson@artefactual.com
* Chris Fitzpatrick, ArchivesSpace, chris.fitzpatrick@lyrasis.org
* Alexandra Chassanoff, BitCurator Access, bitcurator@gmail.com

Abstract:

What does it mean to Code for Archives? Is it different than coding for libraries, and if so, how?

Code4Lib is a wonderful and successful model (you must agree or you wouldn't be reading this). This workshop is an attempt to create a space to replicate the model in an Archival context. A space to talk about development for archives, and the particular challenges of developing archival systems. Topics to discuss include Integration between different Archival software tools, and between Archival tools/workflows and larger institutional tools like institutional repositories, discovery and access systems.

The schedule may include the following:

* Panel type conversations about the State of Art in Archives
* Case Studies - discussion of workflows at specific institutions, including gaps in tools and how those are being addressed or could be addressed
* Tool Demos - access to demos of some of the open source tools used in an Archival Context (examples include ArchivesSpace, Archivematica, BitCurator, AtoM)

Artefactual will provide demos running Archivematica and AtoM, Lyrasis will do so for ArchivesSpace, BitCurator will for BitCurator. We encourage others to chime in here to expand the list of tools available to touch and play with.

When signing up, please indicate if you are an end-user or a developer.

=== Fail4Lib 2015 ===

'''Half Day [TBD, probably afternoon]'''

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

Abstract:

Failure. Failure never changes. Since failure is an inescapable part of our professional work, it's important to be familiar with it, to acknowledge it, and to grow from it -- and, in contravention to longstanding tradition, to accept it as a fact of development life. 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 shunned. Let's train ourselves to understand and embrace failure, encourage enlightened risk-taking, and seek out opportunities to fail and learn. This way, when we do what we do -- and fail at what we do -- we'll do so with grace and without fear.

This year's preconference will include new case studies and an improved discussion format. Repeat customers are welcome! (Fail early, fail often.)

The schedule may include the following:

* Case studies. Avoid our own mistakes by bearing witness to the failures of others.
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Let's learn from our own (and each others') failures.
* Group therapy. Vent about your own experiences in a judgment-free setting. Explore how we can make our organizations less risk-averse and more failure-tolerant.

=== Coding Custom Solutions for Every Department in the Library with File Analyzer ===

'''"Half Day [Morning]"'''

* Terry Brady, Georgetown University Library, twb27@georgetown.edu

Abstract

The Georgetown University Library has shared an application called the [http://georgetown-university-libraries.github.io/File-Analyzer/ File Analyzer] that has allowed us to build custom solutions for nearly every department in the library.

* Analyzing Marc Records for the Cataloging department
* Transferring ILS invoices for the University Account System for the Acquisitions department
* Delivering patron fines to the Bursar’s office for the Access Service department
* Summarizing student worker timesheet data for the Finance department
* Validating counter compliant reports for the Electronic Resources department
* Preparing ingest packages for the Digital Services department
* Validating checksums for the Preservation department

This hands on workshop will step through the components of the application framework. Workshop participants will install and develop custom File Analyzer tasks in this session.

The workshop agenda will loosely follow the [https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer/wiki/File-Analyzer-Training----Code4Lib-2014 pre-conference agenda from Code4Lib 2014].

=== Confessions of the (Accidental) Code Hoarder: How to make your Code Sharable: ===

'''Half Day [Whenever]'''

* Karen A. Coombs, OCLC, coombsk@oclc.org

Abstract
Have you built something cool and useful that you want to share with others? This preconference session will discuss techniques and tools for sharing code. Using our own OCLC Developer Network PHP authentication code libraries as an example, we will discuss a set of recommended best practices for how to share your code.

We’ll start with coding standards and test writing so you can be confident of the quality of your code. Next we'll discuss inline documentation as a tool for developers and how auto-generating documentation will save you time and effort. Lastly we'll provide an overview of the tricky areas of dependency and package management, and distribution tools. Along the way, we'll cover PHP coding standards, testing, and popular PHP tools including PHPDoc for documentation, Composer for smooth installations, and using GitHub and Packagist to manage distribution, updates and community feedback.

=== CANCELLED: ''UXtravaganza'' ===
'''"Half or Full Day [Based on Interest?, Morning/Afternoon Doesn’t Matter]"'''

* William Hicks, University of North Texas, William.hicks@unt.edu
* Volunteers?

Abstract

I’m envisioning a 1/2 of full day for front-end developers, content strategy people, and other misfits with an interest in user experience, where we can talk about our shared problems, use cases, the state of current research, and play with each other’s sites. A half day seems doable, but if there’s significant enough interest we could push for a full? Here are a few of the things I think might be interesting to see happen:

* '''Analytics Share-fest:''' A few volunteers demonstrate data about their websites, catalogs, archival/digital collections. Most of us know our own sites but it would be interesting/validating to share this data with others so we can start to see commonalities between institutions, in certain kinds of systems, etc. For anyone using event tracking, or using click- or heat-maps, this would be a great opportunity to show off what people are seeing.

* '''UX Best Practices Catch Up:''' This spring I had the opportunity to attend a few days worth of usability workshops from the Nielsen-Norman Group, most of which was focused on mobile. I could distill down a lot of the information into an short presentation. Since this is a constantly moving area of research it would be nice to see a few people do other similar short presentations on some current trends/findings relevant to libraries, search, etc.

* '''Mobile Dev Lab:''' The UNT Libraries has been collecting a small set of smartphones and tablets for testing and development. Basically an [http://labup.org Open Device Lab]. We have about a dozen devices now of varying sizes, OS, OS Versions, + Google Glass. I’ll bring the devices, you can bring yours, and assuming we can get the wifi up and running we can test our sites/services with our big sausage fingers rather than pretending to do so through emulators and the one or two devices we each usually have on hand. If anyone is game they can do a tutorial on Browser-based Inspector Tools, Browser-Cams, or other testing services.

* '''The Eye’s Have It.''' The UNT Libraries is also in the process of acquiring an eye tracker and software for usability and other gaze-based research studies. We’ll take possession of it shortly after this pre-conference proposal is due and will have a couple of months to play with them before the conference. Assuming we can get our act together learning the device and can get past the technical hurdles of setting it up at the pre-conference, we could try to do some live demos on each other’s sites; i.e. You nominate a site/service, someone in the audience volunteers to wear the device, and we all watch them struggle do the tasks you request on a projector. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. It would hardly be scientific, but it sure would be fun. As a backup, if we have some sites nominated beforehand, I can run a few students at my library through some tasks here and we can show off the results to the crowd.

For those of you wanting to attend and help out, I’d really like to see some discussion on typography, writing for the web, “dealing with business/administrative requirements from on-high", maybe do some prototyping exercises, etc. Similarly if anyone is interested in doing some tutorials on bootstrap or how-to’s on running a usability test, that would be rad. But we need you to step up and steer part of the time for most of this to work, so if you are interested in some aspect, and especially if you want to volunteer to lead a bit of the time, contact me.

=== Visualizing Library Data ===

'''"Half Day [Morning||Afternoon]"'''

* Matt Miller, matthewmiller@nypl.org, New York Public Library, NYPL Labs

Visualizing your institution’s data can give new insight about your holding’s strengths, weaknesses and outliers. They can also provide potential new avenues for discovery and access. This half day session will focus on programmatically visualizing library metadata. Emphasis will be on creating web-based visualizations utilizing libraries such as d3.js but attention paid towards visualizing large datasets while keeping them web accessible. By then end of the session participants will have template, sample code and methodologies enabling them to start producing visualization with their own data.

== 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).

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.

'''''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.

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:Ksprague|Ksprague]]: sunday/monday/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.
** Ksprague: I'm getting in around noon, and am also interested.
* 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).

=== 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
* 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]]: sunday/monday/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.
** Ksprague: I'm getting in around noon, and am also interested.
* 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).

=== 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
* 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.
