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

Share what you are working on! Add your name and a description below. Please also let us know how long you'll need, and whether you prefer Thursday or Friday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations ===
(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)

'''Talk Title''' - [Speaker Name]: [Description]

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.

===Lightning Talks===
Have something cool to share but you don't want to be in front of the room for more than 5 minutes? Lightning talks are for you. Sign up now or at the conference:

''' VIAF AutoSuggest''' - Ralph LeVan

''' Getting Close to Accessible Slideshows''' - Margaret Heller

==Registration==
Registration is free, though we will cap at 50. List your name, affiliation, and email address here to register for the meeting. If you signed up and are unable to attend please remove your name or contact us, so that we can make room for others.

'''Game Night'''

Update: We've secured Wednesday night in Magnolia 2! I'm adding this as a planned event above.

I can bring some board games if people are interested. I have a decent [http://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/vacekrae?geekranks=Board+Game+Rank&columns=title%7Cstatus%7Cversion%7Crating%7Cbggrating%7Cplays%7Ccomment%7Ccommands&own=1&ff=1&subtype=boardgame collection]. Let me know via email at vacekrae on gmail. +

* I'll be bringing a few board games that I normally take to my weekly library game nights. Some of collaborative and are great facilitators for conversation (Flash Point, Pandemic). - Dan, danmoore1987 on gmail.

'''Trolley Pub'''

14 person pedal-powered [http://trolleypub.com/raleigh/ trolleys]. Can be booked for pub crawls in downtown or in the Warehouse District. BYOB allowed. Private tours for 8-14 people can be booked for $350 for two hour time slots between 11:00 AM and midnight. Smaller groups of 1-6 people can also buy 'Mixer' tickets for $30 (shared trolley).

Note: with weather being what it might be and the money required, this might not be a good idea now. --J. Raitz @ NCSU

'''Brewpub Walk'''

Three brewpubs can be found along a [http://goo.gl/maps/haOiD 1.2 mile walk] through the Warehouse District west from the Sheraton.
NOTE: Trophy Brewing, the westernmost brewpub, has great pizza but limited seating. To finish with dinner, go in smaller numbers if eating at Trophy, or go around the corner to Irregardless Cafe, which has veg*n options. Alternatively, start at Trophy and go the opposite direction and eat in the Warehouse District or downtown where there are many dining options.

'''NCAA Tournament Game at PNC Arena'''
