Cory is a great speaker, and he is brilliant. He bridges the worlds of learning, technology, ethics, and sanity. He embraces the dystopian without being maudlin.
Doctorow married Alice Taylor in October 2008, and they have a daughter named <i>Poesy Emmeline Fibonacci Nautilus Taylor Doctorow</i>, who was born in 2008. (fromBoing Boing via WikiPedia) What more do you really need to know.

==Molly White==

From [https://www.mollywhite.net/ Molly's website]:

I research and write critically about the cryptocurrency industry and technology more broadly in the [https://www.citationneeded.news/ Citation Needed] newsletter. I also run the websites [https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ Web3 is Going Just Great], where I highlight examples of how cryptocurrencies, web3 projects, and the industry surrounding them are failing to live up to their promises, and [https://www.followthecrypto.org/ Follow the Crypto], where I track cryptocurrency industry spending in the 2024 election cycle. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to make a better, more human-centered web, and am a passionate advocate for free and open access, digital sovereignty, and ethical technology.

I regularly speak to journalists and do media appearances. I also have given talks and guest lectures, and have advised policymakers and regulators in and outside of the United States.

Before veering into spending so much of my time thinking about cryptocurrency and its implications for the web and society, I was a professional software engineer.

I have also been an active editor of the English Wikipedia for over fifteen years, where I edit under the username [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GorillaWarfare GorillaWarfare]. I am an administrator and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Functionaries functionary], and previously served three terms on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee Arbitration Committee]. I care deeply about free and open access to high-quality information, and view projects like Wikipedia as critical infrastructure.

Not from Molly's website:

Molly has intelligent takes on issues of concern to Code4Lib. For example, here's her take on Controlled Digital Lending: [https://www.citationneeded.news/hachette-v-internet-archive/ Big publishers think libraries are the enemy]. She is likely to enjoy and learn from Code4Lib as we enjoy and learn from her.

Formerly a software engineer, she studies how software engineering is situated in systems of power -- for instance, the ways that relational database architecture dovetails with carceral logics. She says "if you invite me for a talk (hint hint), I would give talks titled:

* “Abolitionist Data Practices: Applying political goals to data structures”
* “Is my database racist? How white supremacy structures our databases”
* “The history of data modeling” (this one is more exciting than it sounds, I swear!)
* “Beyond ‘anti-racist’ engineering: why anti-racism does not make better software”

==Cat Hicks==

Dr. Hicks is a psychologist studying developer thriving. Her social science research includes learning cultures, code review anxiety, and the psychological affordances of organizations. She says "I'm passionate about learning equity, access to opportunity, and how we make visible the invisible effort of people operating under extraordinary adversity." I think we would be interested in her research, and she would also be interested in code4lib's overlap with and differences from industry tech culture.

==Fobazi Ettarh==

[https://fobaziettarh.com Fobazi] is a former librarian, now a second-year PhD student at University of Illinois-Champaign. An excerpt from her bio reads "Fobazi Ettarh’s research is concerned with the relationships and tensions between the espoused values of librarianship and the realities present in the experiences of marginalized librarians and library users. In 2018, she coined the term and defined the concept of 'vocational awe,' which describe, 'the set of ideas, values, and assumptions librarians have about themselves and the profession that result in beliefs that libraries as institutions are inherently good and sacred, and therefore beyond critique.' In her article [https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocational-awe/ 'Vocational Awe: The Lies We Tell Ourselves,'] she describes how vocational awe can lead to burnout and a sense that one’s own self-care is less important than the work being done. Although written before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ettarh’s words have resonated with many library workers throughout the nation in the current moment, as we strive to serve our patrons and our profession as best we can amidst the competing demands of home, work, and health. Her research has been covered in numerous outlets and she consults in library and corporate contexts on labor, identity, and diversity. She is also the creator of the open-access video game Killing Me Softly: A Game About Microaggressions."

[mailto:fobettarh@gmail.com Fobazi's Email Address]

==John Kunze==

John Kunze is a pioneer in the theory and practice of digital libraries. With a background in computer science and mathematics, he wrote open source BSD Unix tools that come pre-installed with Mac and Linux systems. For the past 25 years he has been working on cross-domain issues with libraries, archives, museums, and data centers.

He created the ARK (Archival Resource Key) persistent identifier scheme (a non-paywalled alternative to the DOI and Handle systems) and the N2T.net scheme-agnostic resolver (a global ARK resolver, that also resolves hundreds of identifier schemes). Since 2001, 8.2 billion ARKs have been created by over 1400 organizations, including 10 national libraries, 185 universities, 209 archives, 104 museums, and 101 journals.

He also contributed heavily to the first standards for URLs (RFC1736, RFC1625, RFC2056), library search and retrieval (Z39.50), archival transfer (BagIt - RFC8493), web archiving (WARC), and Dublin Core metadata (RFC2413, RFC2731, ANSI/NISO Z39.85).

His specs and tools for repository microservices -- Pairtree, Namaste, ReDD, oxum, ERC/ANVL, TEMPER, THUMP -- may be found in such places as the HathiTrust and OCFL. Follow-on work in metadata includes creation of the Dublin Kernel and yamz.net. His current professional focus is with the ARK Alliance (arks.org).

==Timnit Gebru==

Gebru is the founder and executive director of the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR). She previously co-led Google’s Ethical AI research team and received her PhD from the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. With artificial general intelligence’s (AGI’s) recent rapid expansion in libraries as noted by this year’s many AI-focused conference talk proposals, Gebru’s research on AI ethics and her illuminating exploration (with Émile Torres) of AGI through the lens of the TESCREAL bundle of ideologies will hopefully be of interest to all who are motivated to support core library values while engaging with emerging technology.

==Molly White==

From [https://www.mollywhite.net/ Molly's website]:

I research and write critically about the cryptocurrency industry and technology more broadly in the [https://www.citationneeded.news/ Citation Needed] newsletter. I also run the websites [https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ Web3 is Going Just Great], where I highlight examples of how cryptocurrencies, web3 projects, and the industry surrounding them are failing to live up to their promises, and [https://www.followthecrypto.org/ Follow the Crypto], where I track cryptocurrency industry spending in the 2024 election cycle. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to make a better, more human-centered web, and am a passionate advocate for free and open access, digital sovereignty, and ethical technology.

I regularly speak to journalists and do media appearances. I also have given talks and guest lectures, and have advised policymakers and regulators in and outside of the United States.

Before veering into spending so much of my time thinking about cryptocurrency and its implications for the web and society, I was a professional software engineer.

I have also been an active editor of the English Wikipedia for over fifteen years, where I edit under the username [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GorillaWarfare GorillaWarfare]. I am an administrator and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Functionaries functionary], and previously served three terms on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee Arbitration Committee]. I care deeply about free and open access to high-quality information, and view projects like Wikipedia as critical infrastructure.

Not from Molly's website:

Molly has intelligent takes on issues of concern to Code4Lib. For example, here's her take on Controlled Digital Lending: [https://www.citationneeded.news/hachette-v-internet-archive/ Big publishers think libraries are the enemy]. She is likely to enjoy and learn from Code4Lib as we enjoy and learn from her.

Formerly a software engineer, she studies how software engineering is situated in systems of power -- for instance, the ways that relational database architecture dovetails with carceral logics. She says "if you invite me for a talk (hint hint), I would give talks titled:

* “Abolitionist Data Practices: Applying political goals to data structures”
* “Is my database racist? How white supremacy structures our databases”
* “The history of data modeling” (this one is more exciting than it sounds, I swear!)

==Dawna Ballard==

Dawna I. Ballard (Ph.D., University of California at Santa Barbara) is associate professor of organizational communication and technology in the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin. An expert in chronemics—i.e., the study of time as it is bound to human communication—she researches what drives our pace of life and its impact on the communication practices and long-term vitality of organizations, communities, and individuals.
Dr. Ballard is currently completing a book, Time by Design (under contract at MIT Press), about how effective organizations routinely communicate slow to go fast.

She delivered a keynote at Electronic Resources & Libraries in 2016. She talked about “her work and the search for work/ life balance.” She seems to be focusing on communication among group members, which I think is pertinent to all practitioners in our field and I wonder if she has anything to say about how researchers think about time when organizing and retrieving concepts. She has done keynotes at other professional conferences but no other GLAM-related ones, as far as I can see.

==Dr. Joy Buolamwini==

[https://poetofcode.com/ Dr. Joy Buolamwani ] is a computer scientist and poet of code who uses art and research to illuminate the social implications of artificial intelligence. She founded the Algorithmic Justice League to create a world with more equitable and accountable technology. Her TED Featured Talk on algorithmic bias has over 1.4 million views. Her MIT thesis methodology uncovered large racial and gender bias in AI services from companies like Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon. In 2020, these companies stepped back from selling facial recognition technology to law enforcement. In addition to advising elected officials during US congressional hearings, she serves on the Global Tech Panel to advise world leaders and executives on reducing AI harms.

Dr. Buolamwini has a book coming out in late October 2023 called Unmasking AI which is investigating the harms and biases of AI. I feel she has a number of intersecting interests that are relevant to much of what this conferences/community discusses even though she's not directly involved in the GLAM field. Having a keynote from her would be particularly relevant given how much the GLAM community is currently wrestling with the ethical and professional concerns of using Artificial Intelligence. The algorthimic Justice league she founded has a mission to, "...raise public awareness about the impacts of AI, equip advocates with resources to bolster campaigns, build the voice and choice of the most impacted communities, and galvanize researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners to prevent AI harms." I have no idea if she would be available or if this would be feasible as she's becoming more well-known but just throwing her name out just in case!

==Dr. Noelani Arista==

[https://www.mcgill.ca/indigenous/noelani-arista Noelani M. Arista] is an Indigenous historian of Hawaiʻi and the U.S. She is ‘Ōiwi (Hawaiian) born in Honolulu, Oʻahu. She is the Director of the Indigenous Studies Program and an Associate Professor in the History and Classical Studies Department. Her research focuses on the organization of Hawaiian traditional knowledge, intellectual, legal and religious history and the ethical rules and norms governing relationships to ʻike (knowledge).

Arista seeks (ʻimi) to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to apply traditional modes of organizing Hawaiian knowledge in Hawaiian language textual and oral sources to increase community access to ʻike Hawaiʻi, the methods of which will provide useful and scalable models for scholars working in their own indigenous language source base.

Dr. Arista his one of the folks who worked on the [https://www.indigenous-ai.net/ Indigenous AI Working Group]. Her areas of interest as seen on her faculty website include "19th Century U.S. History; Pre-Contact – 19th century Hawaiian legal and intellectual history, governance; AI and Indigenous knowledge organization systems, epistemology and methodology; Indigenous language archives and translation; Indigenous AI & ethics; Colonial and Indigenous history and historiography" I think her take on AI/ML is fascinating, and I think she would be a fabulous keynote speaker for this conference. Her focus is on the ethical use of AI, particularly in relationship to research and scholarship. This is a major subject of interest in many GLAM institutions.

==Chuck Severance==

Dr. Chuck Severance is a long-time advocate of open-source educational technology and open educational resources that empower teachers, librarians, and everyday people.

He has a long history of public speaking and has hosted television and podcast programs as an expert on the Internet and technology. A sample of his speeches is available on [http://www.dr-chuck.com/dr-chuck/resume/speaking.htm his website].

For voting form drafting purposes:
"The general theme of my talk would be to take folks through the creation of my Python for Everybody book and curse on Coursera that is current the most popular programming course in the world. A little known fact is that the course was developed over five years of teaching programming to librarians at the University of Michigan School of Information :)"

He has a [bio](https://www.dr-chuck.com/dr-chuck/resume/bio.htm) available.

AADL has been rolling its own tech whenever it can for 20+ years, and Eli would be happy to give Code4Lib an entertaining and inspiring overview of what it looks like to run a busy public library using as little proprietary software as possible, from the ILS and catalog to digital archives, from staff tools to the public computing environment. Eli is the author of 2007's GAMERS.. in the LIBRARY?! and contributed to O'Reilly's BOOK: A Manifesto and to Well Played, a games journal from Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center.

==Dr. Noelani Arista==

[https://www.mcgill.ca/indigenous/noelani-arista Noelani M. Arista] is an Indigenous historian of Hawaiʻi and the U.S. She is ‘Ōiwi (Hawaiian) born in Honolulu, Oʻahu. She is the Director of the Indigenous Studies Program and an Associate Professor in the History and Classical Studies Department. Her research focuses on the organization of Hawaiian traditional knowledge, intellectual, legal and religious history and the ethical rules and norms governing relationships to ʻike (knowledge).

Arista seeks (ʻimi) to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to apply traditional modes of organizing Hawaiian knowledge in Hawaiian language textual and oral sources to increase community access to ʻike Hawaiʻi, the methods of which will provide useful and scalable models for scholars working in their own indigenous language source base.

Dr. Arista his one of the folks who worked on the [https://www.indigenous-ai.net/ Indigenous AI Working Group]. Her areas of interest as seen on her faculty website include "19th Century U.S. History; Pre-Contact – 19th century Hawaiian legal and intellectual history, governance; AI and Indigenous knowledge organization systems, epistemology and methodology; Indigenous language archives and translation; Indigenous AI & ethics; Colonial and Indigenous history and historiography" I think her take on AI/ML is fascinating, and I think she would be a fabulous keynote speaker for this conference. Her focus is on the ethical use of AI, particularly in relationship to research and scholarship. This is a major subject of interest in many GLAM institutions.

Emily Higgs Kopin is the head of digital collections strategy at the Swarthmore libraries. From her LinkedIn, she "is a librarian/archivist with interest and experience in digital collections, infrastructures, exhibits, and technology." I'm nominating her on the strength of her 2023 Code4Lib lightning talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McqOGzHfmOM&t=4486s), which was easily the funniest talk we've seen in years, and I would like 50 minutes of that, please.

AADL has been rolling its own tech whenever it can for 20+ years, and Eli would be happy to give Code4Lib an entertaining and inspiring overview of what it looks like to run a busy public library using as little proprietary software as possible, from the ILS and catalog to digital archives, from staff tools to the public computing environment. Eli is the author of 2007's GAMERS.. in the LIBRARY?! and contributed to O'Reilly's BOOK: A Manifesto and to Well Played, a games journal from Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center.

==Dawna Ballard==

Dawna I. Ballard (Ph.D., University of California at Santa Barbara) is associate professor of organizational communication and technology in the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin. An expert in chronemics—i.e., the study of time as it is bound to human communication—she researches what drives our pace of life and its impact on the communication practices and long-term vitality of organizations, communities, and individuals.
Dr. Ballard is currently completing a book, Time by Design (under contract at MIT Press), about how effective organizations routinely communicate slow to go fast.

She delivered a keynote at Electronic Resources & Libraries in 2016. She talked about “her work and the search for work/ life balance.” She seems to be focusing on communication among group members, which I think is pertinent to all practitioners in our field and I wonder if she has anything to say about how researchers think about time when organizing and retrieving concepts. She has done keynotes at other professional conferences but no other GLAM-related ones, as far as I can see.

==Dr. Joy Buolamwini==

[https://poetofcode.com/ Dr. Joy Buolamwani ] is a computer scientist and poet of code who uses art and research to illuminate the social implications of artificial intelligence. She founded the Algorithmic Justice League to create a world with more equitable and accountable technology. Her TED Featured Talk on algorithmic bias has over 1.4 million views. Her MIT thesis methodology uncovered large racial and gender bias in AI services from companies like Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon. In 2020, these companies stepped back from selling facial recognition technology to law enforcement. In addition to advising elected officials during US congressional hearings, she serves on the Global Tech Panel to advise world leaders and executives on reducing AI harms.

Dr. Buolamwini has a book coming out in late October 2023 called Unmasking AI which is investigating the harms and biases of AI. I feel she has a number of intersecting interests that are relevant to much of what this conferences/community discusses even though she's not directly involved in the GLAM field. Having a keynote from her would be particularly relevant given how much the GLAM community is currently wrestling with the ethical and professional concerns of using Artificial Intelligence. The algorthimic Justice league she founded has a mission to, "...raise public awareness about the impacts of AI, equip advocates with resources to bolster campaigns, build the voice and choice of the most impacted communities, and galvanize researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners to prevent AI harms." I have no idea if she would be available or if this would be feasible as she's becoming more well-known but just throwing her name out just in case!

How To Plan A Code4LibCon

2015-07-03T17:59:50Z

Thatandromeda:

== General Process ==
* Apply to be a host
** '''Identify venues''' for both the conference and the hotel (if different). Get some cost estimates from each. Make sure the hotel will give you a room block.
*** 2006/Corvallis: the campus provided the conference space at a low cost, and this made running the conference much more affordable.
*** 2016/Portland: we held everything in a single hotel and we had to acquire 2x the amount of sponsorship than what appears to be normal.
** '''Prepare a sample / generalized budget'''
*** Remember, your institution is taking the risk of covering any costs not covered by registrations and sponsorships. To this point, I believe the conference has always ended up in the black, but there is always a chance it won't in a given year. Drafting a rough budget before submitting a proposal is critical.
*** Get data from previous years to estimate minimums and maximums, and fill in as much as you can ahead of time.
*** Speaking of sponsorship, I believe we average around 20k per year in sponsorships to help run the conference and keep the registration low. Factor this into your budget.
*** Also, when you get cost estimates, don't forget to include food costs.
*** Wireless: If you are proposing to host the conference on a campus, check with your IT folks about any additional costs. If you are looking at a hotel or other venue, make sure you talk to them about bandwidth and costs.
** '''Consider using a conference planner'''
*** See if your institution has a conference planning services group or something similar - if it does, then I highly recommend using them. They'll handle registration, budgeting, contracts, etc, and really make life easy.
*** Also consider using conference planning services from other entities. In 2013, Chicago used DLF services to handle registration. In 2014, NC used CONCENTRA services for all contract negotiation, fiscal activities, registration, and other conference planning and management services.
* Get approved by the community
* Find a hotel, negotiate and sign a contract with them. [[Sample RFI]]
* Invite the community to join committees
* Have a timeline

=== Budgeting ===

=== Hotels ===
* You will likely have to convince the conference hotel of the conference size and past room uptake as part of negotiating your contract. They may want to contact past conference hotels to get more info about actual uptake.
* 2014 -- Raleigh Downtown Sheraton
* IMHO, the two things that really need to be addressed each year are connectivity and food - everything else generally manages itself in terms of facilities.
* Regarding conference hotel, you'll want to make sure that there are blocks of rooms available - not usually too bad an issue in larger towns, but in some college or smaller towns, hotel rooms may be limited.
* prepare the hotel for deluge via web when announcement is made about hotel registration available. We overwhelmed the Seattle hotel in 2012

== Shortly before the Conference ==

=== Keynotes ===
# Contact speakers in advance to get a speaker bio, plus to ask if they need anything, arrange airport pickup, etc

=== Email Boilerplates / templates ===
* [[ConferenceOrientationEmail|Quick orientation email for newer folks]] - Send out at least a week in advance before conference...
* [[FreenodeIrcConnection|Freenode IRC connection]]
** Historically, conference attendees have had trouble maintaining persistent connections to the #code4lib IRC channel. We'd always assumed we were overwhelming the conference facility's Internet connection, but we were actually running into Freenode's IP-based connection limits. Freenode is supportive of the IRC-as-backchannel model, however, and they're happy to work with organizers to raise the connection limit.
** Contact the conference facility in advance and see if you can find out what your ''public IP address range'' will be during the conference. (If it starts with 10.*, 192.168.*, or 172.16.*, ask again -- those are "private" IP ranges used for connection sharing.)
** Once you have the IP address or range, send an email to [mailto:ilines@freenode.net ilines@freenode.net] containing a request to raise the connection limit. Include conference info, IP range(s), and the expected number of connections. For example:
** I received an automated reply with a ticket number almost instantly, but didn't hear back after that. I sent a quick followup early on the morning of the 22nd, and received a response (from a human) letting me know that it had been taken care of. (Follow-up, one year later: Same experience. Immediate automated reply, but with a need to follow up with Freenode staff in the #freenode channel to get the ticket resolved.)
** Additional support is available from the helpful volunteer Freenode staff in the #freenode channel.

=== Hospitality Suite ===
# having a few people with room keys, any of whom might need to be available to open up or close down the room at the beginning or end of the evening
# making sure the mess left for cleaning staff is an appropriate mess
# making sure the noise made near other hotel guests is an appropriate noise

===Logistics===
====Transportation====
* MIT can be reached by car, train, or bus.
* If you are going to drive all the way to campus, MIT's parking information can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/facilities/transportation/parking/visitors/public_parking.html
* Another popular option is to take the MBTA red line to campus, and get off at the Kendall/MIT stop. From the station, walk down Main Street (passing the Kendall Hotel on your left, walking away from Chipotle). Turn left on Vassar Street / Galileo Way, and walk past the Stata Center until you get to building 34. The Grier Room is on the fourth floor. For walking directions via Google Maps, visit https://goo.gl/maps/eXp07. 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.
* If you're arriving via bus, there are a number of lines that run by campus. Consult the MBTA website (or Google Maps) for more information.
* We are also looking into helping arrange carpooling. More information to come.

====Hotels====
* If you're looking for a hotel room the night before / after, there are two hotels near campus - the [http://www.kendallhotel.com/ Kendall Hotel] and [http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/boscb-boston-marriott-cambridge/ Marriott Hotel], both on Main Street.

How To Plan A Code4LibCon

2014-12-09T17:48:58Z

* Get approved by the community
* Find a hotel, negotiate and sign a contract with them. [[Sample RFI]]
* Invite the community to help with
* Have a timeline
*[[Useful information from 2012]]

== Important Public Resources ==
* Past calls for host sites: [http://code4lib.org/node/275 2010] -
* [http://dewey.library.nd.edu/mailing-lists/code4lib/ Code4Lib listserv]
* [http://groups.google.com/group/code4libcon Code4LibCon listserv]
* Sponsorship info (public)
* [http://code4lib.org/logo/ Logos]

== Important Private Resources ==
* Code4LibCon-hostsite listserv
* Budgets from previous years
* Sponsorship info (private)

==Gender Diversity & Minority Scholarship Committee==
The scholarship committee is a self-selected group that manages the gender diversity & minority scholarships. Separate groups handle AngelFund and Code4LibJapan scholarships.

===Suggestions received===
* Send to a wider bunch of listservs, including for national orgs (ALA/SLA/MLA/CLA) & relevant sections? & student chapter

===Process===
# Put out a call
# Receive and coordinate applications
# Distribute applications to the committee
# Select awardees
# Inform selected candidates
# Notify unsuccessful candidates
# Announce to Code4Lib main listserv and post on code4lib.org (e.g. http://code4lib.org/node/274 )
# Hosts work with awardees on reimbursement, registration, etc.
# Follow up with awardees after the conference -- receive report, ask for suggestions, etc.

== Program Committtee==
The program committee is a self-selected group that manages talk proposals and other aspects of the program.
The process works something like this:

# Draft the call for proposals (searching the mailing list archives should provide some good templates) and send it out.
# People put their proposals on the Code4Lib wiki (see the [[2013 talks proposals]] page as a template)
#* One idea that's been thrown around to help diversity is for people to self-identify as female/minority/first-timer/first-time presenter, etc. (see the Guidelines below)
# After the proposal period ends, contact Ross Singer (rsinger) to get voting set up.
# After the voting closes, we talk about where to place the dividing line between accepted and declined proposals. There is a bit of negotiation between us and the host committee on scheduling depending on how many talks we want to accept and any scheduling juggling that is required.

===Program Voting===
Pre-conf voting may need to take place if there are more proposals than spaces.

Based on past discussions (such as the [http://serials.infomotions.com/code4lib/archive/2011/201111/thread.html pandering votes thread]), for next year, consider a notification for voters 'briefly
explaining how the ballot works and to reiterate the voting criteria that's on the proposal page.

There has also been discussions about whether voting should be done without names, but it was inconclusive as there are pros and cons to each.

If possible, it has been suggested that talks be grouped by topic so there is more consideration by people on giving too many votes to a single topic.

===Guidelines===
For 2014, you may want to make this a bit more clear on the talk proposals page, but this is what the community agreed on through mailing list discussion:
* Max 2 presenters per talk (this should be checked at the proposal stage)
* Max 1 talk per person
* (at least) 15% talks to be decided by the program committee with "diversity" in mind. Diversity may be any of these (not an exhaustive list):
** first-time presenter (should be major consideration)
** gender
** visible minority
** technology/tool

Based on [http://serials.infomotions.com/code4lib/archive/2012/201211/thread.html Proposed Changes thread].

Based on the comments from the 2013 feedback, the program committee may also consider proposing limiting the number of talks on a particular topic or technology used (e.g. Hydra, Solr) unless the next conference host proposes to turn the conference into a multi-track conference.

===Schedule===
While always posted on the website, consider putting it on lanyrd like in 2013. Worked great of adding links to sessions, which can then be copied to the website if needed.

===Keynoter logistics===

'''When they agree to speak or shortly after''', keynoters will need information on:
* conference registration (does the committee register them or do they need to register themselves, is there a discount code to get free registration or are they reimbursed)
* hotel logistics (does the committee arrange or the speaker, is there a discounted block and how is it accessed)
* travel logistics (who books, if the host books does the speaker have any restrictions or preferred carriers, if the speaker books are there restrictions on what can be reimbursed, if there are several regional airports is one of them preferred)
* reimbursement policies and procedures (what expenses are reimburseable (in particular policies vary on alcohol), do they get reimbursements or a per diem for conference expenses, what paperwork do they need to submit to whom, if floating all these expenses presents a hardship for them is there a way to have someone else handle them up front)
* if a W9 is required and where to send it
* if they need to submit a bio/headshot for conference publicity and, if so, to whom
* the fact that their talk will be livestreamed - this is not obvious to non-code4libbers

They will also need to sign a speaking contract. Experienced speakers may have their own, and/or host institutions may have a standard. If the host's standard contract has non-OA-friendly terms on intellectual property, be prepared to help the speaker negotiate those as many code4libby speakers will care.

If they are expected to book their own hotel, they should receive hotel information before general registration is opened to ensure the hotel does not fill before they get a room. If the committee books, likewise, do this early.

'''A few weeks before the event''', keynoters will need information on:

* travel between the venue and the airport (particularly if the committee will be providing this travel, i.e. will anyone be meeting you at the airport and if so where)
* A/V setup (what computer is at the podium, can they plug their own in, what dongles will they need, do you provide dongles, is there wifi/podium internet, are there speakers if they want to play video - many venues have PCs and do not provide Mac dongles; speakers may have their own but committee would be well-advised to bring some)
* event hashtag and other social media (remember non-code4lib speakers are probably unfamiliar with the IRC channel, @code4lib, etc.)
* is there anywhere it might be good for them to upload their slides
* who will be introducing them and what information that person needs

Many speakers will appreciate receiving their check at the event, but will not be surprised to get it in the mail later. If you'll be sending it after, provide a time frame, and don't make them have to send follow-up emails to get it.

===Talk Acceptance Letter (samples)===

<pre>
Dear <<first name last name>>,

On behalf of the Code4Lib Program Planning Committee, I am pleased to
notify you that your proposal, <<proposal title>> has been accepted for
the Code4Lib <<year>> in <<location>>. Please reply to this message to
confirm your intention to present the approved session at the Conference.
If at any time in the future you need to bow out or have any program
changes, please notify us immediately. You will be sent a letter of
agreement soon.

The schedule for the conference is here:

http://code4lib.org/conference/2011/schedule

You will have 20 minutes for your talk, including questions and answers.
A quick transition between speakers will be necessary.

It is very important that you focus your presentation on the more unique
and technical aspects of your topic whenever possible. Although Code4Lib
attendees come from many different work environments, they attend Code4Lib
events for information technology education.

Experts like you are the heart of Code4Lib. We really appreciate your contribution
and look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

</pre>

===Talk Rejection Letter (sample)===
<pre>
I'm sorry, but your prepared talk proposal for the 2010 Code4Lib Conference in Asheville, NC did not receive enough votes to make it into the program. But here are a couple things you should know:

- The field of presentations was very large (probably the largest we have had so far) and very strong, so you should not take it too hard.
- Please remember that there are many additional opportunities for participating, including lightning talks (open to anyone), breakout sessions (open to anyone to suggest and/or participate), and a special "Ask Anything" (or reply anything) open session. Also, the evening socializing opportunities are considered some of the most rewarding times of the event.

Again, my condolences on not having your talk proposal accepted, but I hope we still see you in Asheville, NC in February.
Roy

== Sponsorship Committee ==
===Sample Sponsorship Request Letter===
As you know, Code4Lib is a group of library technologists, programmers, system administrators, web designers, and librarians. Started in 2003, the group continues to grow--with a journal, a mailing list, and an active IRC channel. Since 2005, Code4Lib has sponsored an annual conference, which has attracted programmers and librarians from around the world.

Topics at past conferences have included library information systems, new directions in library research, semantic web applications, and
information technology standards, among many others. More details about the conference, including schedules of previous conferences, can be found from
http://www.code4lib.org/conference/

Our <> conference will be held in <> from <>. Be a part of this library success story by underwriting the conference!

We have several sponsorship levels:

<>
I look forward to hearing from you, and can be reached at <>.

Best,

<>
http://code4lib.org/

== Book Giveaway Committee ==
Responsible for contacting publishers to see if they will donate books to the conference so we can raffle them off. Take a look at [[BookRaffle]] for ideas.

Please coordinate with Program committee as to when book raffle is to happen during the conference (as in part it depends on how many things there are to give away).

Will also need to coordinate with sponsorship/host committee about adding logos and what not to the sponsorship list if necessary.

== T-shirt Committee ==
Responsible for organizing the call, vote, print, etc. for conference t-shirts. Need to coordinate with sponsorship committee for what goes on the back of the shirt.

Example: [[2013 t-shirt design proposals]]

Propose to add additional restrictions:
* should not be a designed used previously (do we have an archive of previous designs somewhere?)
* unique (cannot be bought online already)
* design should include "code4lib" and conference year in design, city optional

== Money==
* [[Conference_Financial_History_At_A_Glance]]
* private conlist has budget info

== Hotels ==
You will likely have to convince the conference hotel of the conference size and past room uptake as part of negotiating your contract. They may want to contact past conference hotels to get more info about actual uptake.
* 2014 -- Raleigh Downtown Sheraton

== Shortly before the Conference ==

=== Keynotes ===
# Contact speakers in advance to get a speaker bio, plus to ask if they need anything, arrange airport pickup, etc

=== Emails to send out ===

==== Quick orientation email for newer folks ====

Send out at least a week in advance before conference...

We're in the last few days before the conference begins, and for a good number of you,
this will be your first code4lib. Here is some information to help you navigate through
the conference craziness next week:

- Social Activities<insert link to SA page>: There's a lot going on outside of the sessions,
and this page has information about various gatherings, events, meals, etc. One activity I
want to highlight is the Newcomer dinner<insert link to SA page> that will be on
<insert date of dinner>. There are still a lot of great restaurants left on the list, and this
is your chance to meet folks you might otherwise not get a chance to talk to at the conference.
Read the guidelines on the wiki, and pick your restaurant.

(Public service announcement: for those of you who have signed up for the dinner already, make
sure that there's a designated leader for organizing reservations and people herding.)

- Hospitality Suite: For some of the events listed on the Social Activities page, you will see
the Hospitality Suite listed as a location. This is a place where attendees usually hang out outside
of sessions (or taking a break from sessions). The location of the Suite is usually announced
through various means, including the wiki, IRC and Twitter.

- IRC/Twitter/etc.: Speaking of those channels, you'll find many folks using the #c4lXX hashtag
for conference related stuff. The IRC channel<insert link to IRC page> is #code4lib, and there
will be volunteers at the conference who would be more than happy to help you with IRC.

- For my last item, give the following a read:<insert links to appropriate pages>

-- How to hack code4lib
-- CodeofConduct4lib
-- Zoia, #code4lib's IRC bot

If you have a question, ask! I'll be bringing in some badge ribbons for everyone to self-identify
themselves as first timers and "old timers" as well, if you're into classification and stuff. ;-)

=== Freenode IRC connection ===
Historically, conference attendees have had trouble maintaining persistent connections to the #code4lib IRC channel. We'd always assumed we were overwhelming the conference facility's Internet connection, but we were actually running into Freenode's IP-based connection limits. Freenode is supportive of the IRC-as-backchannel model, however, and they're happy to work with organizers to raise the connection limit.

Contact the conference facility in advance and see if you can find out what your ''public IP address range'' will be during the conference. (If it starts with 10.*, 192.168.*, or 172.16.*, ask again -- those are "private" IP ranges used for connection sharing.)

Once you have the IP address or range, send an email to [mailto:ilines@freenode.net ilines@freenode.net] containing a request to raise the connection limit. Include conference info, IP range(s), and the expected number of connections. For example:

To: ilines@freenode.net

Hello,

I'm helping plan the code4lib 2010 conference, taking place in Asheville, NC next week.
Since our backchannel runs through #code4lib on Freenode, we're trying to plan ahead
to avoid running up against the connection limit. Would it be possible to raise the cap
for us during the conference? Details follow.

Conference: code4lib 2010 < http://code4lib.org/conference/2010/ >
Dates: February 22-26, 2010
Attendees: 250
Location: Renaissance Asheville Hotel, Asheville, NC
IP Ranges: 12.21.216.106 and the entire 12.21.217.0/24 block

We encourage in-channel participation, so we expect a high percentage of attendees to
be connected at once. We'll also have two or three channel bots connected from the
conference for the lobby monitors.

Please let me know if you need any further information, and thanks very much for
your help!

Michael

I received an automated reply with a ticket number almost instantly, but didn't hear back after that. I sent a quick followup early on the morning of the 22nd, and received a response (from a human) letting me know that it had been taken care of. (Follow-up, one year later: Same experience. Immediate automated reply, but with a need to follow up with Freenode staff in the #freenode channel to get the ticket resolved.)

Additional support is available from the helpful volunteer Freenode staff in the #freenode channel.

== At the Conference ==

===Keynotes===
# Water at the podium
# Speaker gifts
# Dinner plans

=== Timers ===
* Sit in the front of the room
* Have several people
* You may want to use an extra machine
* Here's what some of the software looks like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schwartzray/4393891356/ (ask Ed Corrado for details)
* Dan Chudnov says the best free timer app for OSX is http://www.apimac.com/timer/

=== Lightning Talks ===
* Everybody lines up ahead of time (image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schwartzray/4393881044/ )

===PreConf===
# make sure projector avail for each session
# whiteboards or reasonable facsimile thereof
# everyone wants a power outlet

=== Conference ===

# IRC Monitor for podium during speaker changes?

===Photography===

* Consider different colored lanyards to articulate personal photography preferences.

=== Video ===
# live stream is awesome
# join.me ??
# YouTube Live, youtube.com/code4lib

=== Live Blogging ===
Consider doing live blogging for 2014. You will have two people so they can switch off during each section of day.

=== Ask Anything===
* Add to volunteer page to have a moderator or do a general call out
* Need mics for people to line up at (image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schwartzray/4393838640/ )

===Book Raffle===
* (image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schwartzray/4393619144/ with people for context: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schwartzray/4393623802/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/schwartzray/4384550127/ ), better if there's a table

=== Flipcharts ===
Flipcharts can be useful, but it's important to decide what to put on the wiki/website and what to put on a flipchart:
images: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schwartzray/4392998501/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/47860563@N05/4388430079/

=== Hospitality Suite ===
# having a few people with room keys, any of whom might need to be available to open up or close down the room at the beginning or end of the evening
# making sure the mess left for cleaning staff is an appropriate mess
# making sure the noise made near other hotel guests is an appropriate noise
# having someone act as a point person to gather a gratuity for the housekeeping staff maintaining the suite

== Suggested Timeline ==
* See [[C4L2010planning]] for an example
* See [https://docs.google.com/a/ncsu.edu/document/d/1Ci_aeXlUOW_1XZ9isvwXfyt-FFyO7zsBxesenbFvCPI/edit|Code4Lib 2014 planning schedule] for example, including dates for responsibilities for each volunteer committee. Note that we established schedule at the outset by counting weeks backwards from the desired conference dates.
* Ideal to have program set before registration, including pre-conf
** also allows clarity for how many spots are avail for non-presenters

===Calls for Hosting===
No one has claimed responsibility for putting out the call and setting the deadline, so for 2014 planning, consider having this task as the host committee, the voting committee, or perhaps the whatever committee.

==John Allspaw==
John Allspaw (https://twitter.com/allspaw) is the Senior Vice President for Technical Operations at Etsy (http://etsy.com). Prior to that he built infrastructure for Salon, InfoWorld, Flickr, and others. His publications include "Web Operations" and "The Art of Capacity Planning". You can find his blog at http://www.kitchensoap.com/.

As library development teams grow from single programmers writing "glue" scripts to small teams working together on mid size web apps and further to large development shops producing complex and large scale systems, they find themselves struggling with issues of scale. These issues of scale are not just with the systems being built, but with the operations of the team itself. Operations can often be overlooked during the daily routine of project meetings, writing code, fixing bugs, etc. John's insights on operations and capacity planning would be useful to the library development community, particularly for those in departments that are maturing from one or two programmers to mid-size or larger development teams.

He was the keynote at the TRLN Annual Meeting and talked about the importance of the Library as a keystone to his teaching of media studies, the Library as a keystone of collective curiosity and community action, and why we should enable students to contribute back to the Library. Some quotes I tweeted from his talk:

* "Too often library instruction starts at library databases. Librarians, this has to stop."
* "I want my seniors to contribute to the library, to give something back."
* "Whenever there is community curiosity and collective action, that's where the library should be."

I believe his keynote would be motivational in reflecting how what we do in Code4Lib is critical to Libraries support his mission as a professor and researcher, his students, and the community at large. Expect humor, humility, and creativity from David Silver.

=====Software=====

* Vi- because it keeps me (you?) focused.
* [http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit Komodo Edit]
*AMP (LAMP, WAMP, MAMP) stacks for an easy install of Apache, mySQL + perl/ python / php.
*A @rdio subscription. :) And a text editor with syntax highlighting.
* Git (Version Control)
* Github, Bitbucket and Other Remote Git Services
* Emmet, http://docs.emmet.io/ (supersedes Zen Coding, http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/ ) The idea is that it lets you use CSS-like selectors as tags that can be expanded into full HTML snippets.
* [http://sass-lang.com/ SASS Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets]
* LESS http://lesscss.org/
* Compass http://compass-style.org/ - extends SASS with reusable patterns
* BareBones's [http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.html BBEdit]
* Sublime Text & Zen Coding (recently reborn as [http://docs.emmet.io Emmet]). Saves a lot of keystrokes when writing web content.
* The best one IMHO is [http://www.sublimetext.com Sublime Text 2]. Oh, okay, I can't resist - I'm going to cheat and list a second: everyone needs to stop writing just CSS and complement it with SASS (syntactically awesome stylesheets) & Compass - http://sass-lang.com/. Totally invaluable for any front-end work. It makes CSS fun.
* [http://www.virtualbox.org VirtualBox] to make new VM setup and deployment easier we use [http://vagrantup.com/ Vagrant]
* Version control. My own strong preference is for git (either managed locally or through github.com), but really, just pick a version control solution and use it. If you value your work at all, it should be in version control. Smart use of version control can make finding and fixing problems in code much, much easier - but even fairly naive use of it leaves you with much, much better tools for fixing screw ups than you have without it.

=====Websites=====
* Code4Lib listserv, IRC, [http://journal.code4lib.org journal] (duh)
* Google is more useful than any reference book to find answers to programming problems.
* [http://stackoverflow.com StackOverflow] is a great site for questions.
* [http://lynda.com lynda.com]
* JS Fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/

The most important thing is to break things and then rebuild them. The worst possible thing would be to build a website, leave it up as their public face or personal website, and be nervous to wreck it so notchange or play with different CMSes (another reason multiple URLs might psychologically be better - they encourage experimentation on one and the person can make the other a static goal oriented publishing area).The more the cheapie hosting account experience I have, the more I know what's cheap and easy to do, and the more I see very specific benefits to adedicated server.

===One recommended tool/resource for n00bs===

These resources/tools were recommended by the Code4Lib community in Nov. 2012, specifically for new coding librarians and library coders. The whole thread of discussion is available at [http://www.mail-archive.com/code4lib@listserv.nd.edu/msg15762.html the C4L listserv archive].

* The best one IMHO is [http://www.sublimetext.com Sublime Text 2]. Oh, okay, I can't resist - I'm going to cheat and list a second: everyone needs to stop writing just CSS and complement it with SASS (syntactically awesome stylesheets) & Compass - http://sass-lang.com/. Totally invaluable for any front-end work. It makes CSS fun.
* [http://www.virtualbox.org VirtualBox] to make new VM setup and deployment easier we use [http://vagrantup.com/ Vagrant]
* Version control. My own strong preference is for git (either managed locally or through github.com), but really, just pick a version control solution and use it. If you value your work at all, it should be in version control. Smart use of version control can make finding and fixing problems in code much, much easier - but even fairly naive use of it leaves you with much, much better tools for fixing screw ups than you have without it.

These resources/tools were recommended by the Code4Lib community in Nov. 2012, specifically for new coding librarians and library coders. The whole thread of discussion is available at [http://www.mail-archive.com/code4lib@listserv.nd.edu/msg15762.html the C4L listserv archive].

Please fill out a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHNPVWgyX0E2a20xWHBHS1dJV05Pb0E6MQ#gid=0 mini-survey] if this was helpful to you. Thank you!

====Tools/Resources====

=====Books or Things to read=====
* O'Reilly Head first series
*Visual QuickStart Guides http://www.peachpit.com/imprint/series_detail.aspx?ser=335245
*[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlVSWa90m8umdGg3U0h4bjdMT0ttVUJBU3RCaUc0WGc#gid=0 QA Collection Purchases for Code4Lib]

* "How to Design Programs" http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/. Good for newbie coders.
* Kernighan and Ritchie's [http://www.worldcat.org/title/c-programming-language/oclc/17650642 "The C Programming Language."] A keeper for life, and surprisingly readable and directed to the newbie. Also [http://www.worldcat.org/title/pragmatic-programmer-from-journeyman-to-master/oclc/42038638 "The Pragmatic Programmer"] by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas.
* http://www.w3.org/International

* Video series on command line basics from Lullabot: http://drupalize.me/series/command-line-basics-series

=====Software=====

* Vi- because it keeps me (you?) focused.
* [http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit Komodo Edit]
*AMP (LAMP, WAMP, MAMP) stacks for an easy install of Apache, mySQL + perl/ python / php.
*A @rdio subscription. :) And a text editor with syntax highlighting.
* Git (Version Control)
* Github, Bitbucket and Other Remote Git Services
* Emmet, http://docs.emmet.io/ (supersedes Zen Coding, http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/ ) The idea is that it lets you use CSS-like selectors as tags that can be expanded into full HTML snippets.
* [http://sass-lang.com/ SASS Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets]
* LESS http://lesscss.org/
* Compass http://compass-style.org/ - extends SASS with reusable patterns
* BareBones's [http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.html BBEdit]
* Sublime Text & Zen Coding (recently reborn as [http://docs.emmet.io Emmet]). Saves a lot of keystrokes when writing web content.
* The best one IMHO is [http://www.sublimetext.com Sublime Text 2]. Oh, okay, I can't resist - I'm going to cheat and list a second: everyone needs to stop writing just CSS and complement it with SASS (syntactically awesome stylesheets) & Compass - http://sass-lang.com/. Totally invaluable for any front-end work. It makes CSS fun.
* [http://www.virtualbox.org VirtualBox] to make new VM setup and deployment easier we use [http://vagrantup.com/ Vagrant]
* Version control. My own strong preference is for git (either managed locally or through github.com), but really, just pick a version control solution and use it. If you value your work at all, it should be in version control. Smart use of version control can make finding and fixing problems in code much, much easier - but even fairly naive use of it leaves you with much, much better tools for fixing screw ups than you have without it.

=====Websites=====
*Code4Lib listserv, IRC, [http://journal.code4lib.org journal] (duh)
* Google is more useful than any reference book to find answers to programming problems.
* [http://stackoverflow.com StackOverflow] is a great site for questions.
*[http://lynda.com lynda.com]
*JS Fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/
*CodePen http://codepen.io/
*[http://stackexchange.com/ StackExchange] (by extension, StackOverflow and [http://libraries.stackexchange.com/ the Libraries StackExchange] site).
*[http://css-tricks.com CSS Tricks ]

=====Meetups and User Groups=====

* Perl Mongers http://www.pm.org/groups/
* Python Local User Groups http://wiki.python.org/moin/LocalUserGroups
* R Users Group Meetups http://r-users-group.meetup.com/

=====Other=====

*Resources for lots of languages: [http://pear.ly/8ohL pear.ly/8ohL]
* [http://catcode.pbworks.com/w/page/49680175/Resources Catcode]
* FOSS4lib http://foss4lib.org/
* I can already feel the collective rolling of eyes for this, but what about Twitter? It's not a guide or manual, but start following and engaging talented developers and library geeks on Twitter and you'll soon have more help than you know what to do with. Plus, no Zoia ;)
*Practice! No matter the learning material, nothing will really sink in unless you apply it in the wild (like a small project).
* It's still useful to learn a little something about configuring a webserver / database / etc.

=====Advice on what to do=====
*Building things that help people matters, and for that you need empathy.
* Reusing people's [http://dotfiles.github.com/ public dotfiles],my favorite being [https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles Mathias Bynens']. Using a mature dotfiles collection can help bootstrap you to use the command line more and start grabbing vital tools from package managers like Homebrew or npm that you might not think of otherwise. I'm still a newbie coder but reusing dotfiles gives me the confidence to tweak things here and there without building a ton from scratch.
* I'm taking "tool" to mean a piece of hardware. I'd recommend some old laptop with your favorite linux distro less desktop. Why? Well the main thing is that it puts them into a position where they're not learning to be a google copy/paste coder given the lack of the desktop, mouse and distractions like email. They can also learn to setup the server environment on their new dev box and eventually do all sorts of cool stuff.
* A cheapie online webhosting account - like a $10 a month one - and multiple URLs. Multiple URLs will make them point a URL at a nameserver at least once ideally, and to understand that the two are separate and what you can do with domains and subdomains. The cheapie webhosting account will let them play with installing popular content management systems manually and with one-click installs. The most important thing is to break things and then rebuild them. The worst possible thing would be to build a website, leave it up as their public face or personal website, and be nervous to wreck it so notchange or play with different CMSes (another reason multiple URLs might psychologically be better - they encourage experimentation on one and the person can make the other a static goal oriented publishing area).The more the cheapie hosting account experience I have, the more I know what's cheap and easy to do, and the more I see very specific benefits to adedicated server. It makes me more intentional and able to better assess the value of services vendors provide. That's more web4lib ish, but ultimately if someone experiments enough they have to get comfortable with php. Scripting is the gateway drug.
* +1 to web-hosting as it gives the ability install one's own software on one's domain (which feels great) *and* easy access to shell. And when web-hosting feels like too much of a barrier to access, sites like jsfiddle where you can immediately start adding *and* sharing code is key. IMHO the initial appeal of [http://www.codecademy.com/ Codecademy] was that it removed all barriers to getting started. Getting a laptop's localhost set up is too daunting for a first step, I think.

Thatandromeda: /* Newcomer Dinner, Tuesday 2/12 */

== 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!
* 10:00 start winding down (don't start new games)
* 10:30 all done, turn off the lights

* I highly recommend that people walk in groups to get back to their respective lodgings. I'll ask folks still around at the end to help me clean up so we can walk back to the conference hotel*

Please bring your badge with. (You don't need to wear it on the way, but that'll help us make sure everyone in the room is supposed to be there.)

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
* Gary Maixner - Joining. Have a copy of Savage Worlds for roleplaying if anyone's interested.
* cpsarason - I'm up for whatever!

-- *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.

Thatandromeda: /* Newcomer Dinner, Tuesday 2/12 */

== 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).

===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).

=== 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!
* 10:00 start winding down (don't start new games)
* 10:30 all done, turn off the lights

* I highly recommend that people walk in groups to get back to their respective lodgings. I'll ask folks still around at the end to help me clean up so we can walk back to the conference hotel*

Please bring your badge with. (You don't need to wear it on the way, but that'll help us make sure everyone in the room is supposed to be there.)

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
* Gary Maixner - Joining. Have a copy of Savage Worlds for roleplaying if anyone's interested.
* cpsarason - I'm up for whatever!

-- *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.

Thatandromeda: /* Newcomer Dinner, Tuesday 2/12 */

== 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!
* 10:00 start winding down (don't start new games)
* 10:30 all done, turn off the lights

* I highly recommend that people walk in groups to get back to their respective lodgings. I'll ask folks still around at the end to help me clean up so we can walk back to the conference hotel*

Please bring your badge with. (You don't need to wear it on the way, but that'll help us make sure everyone in the room is supposed to be there.)

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
* Gary Maixner - Joining. Have a copy of Savage Worlds for roleplaying if anyone's interested.
* cpsarason - I'm up for whatever!

-- *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.

== Layar: augmented reality Code4Lib view of Chicago ==

There's a "Code4Lib 2013" layer in [http://www.layar.com/ Layar], an augmented reality app that runs on both Android and iOS. You can use it to scan around the city to see two kinds of things: 1) tweets using the #c4l13 or #code4lib hashtag (if the tweets are geolocated so they can be
nailed to a point) and 2) points of interest from the [https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213549257652679418473.0004ce6c25e6cdeb0319d&msa=0 shared Google Map].

To use it:

* install Layar on your phone
* run it and click to go into Geo Layers mode
* search for "code4lib 2013"
* launch the layer and look around

See Code4Lib people and events overlaid on top of Chicago, in real time! See an alternate view of the city that's all about libraries and coders!

To make your own tweets appear, use the #c4l13 hashtag and make sure the tweet is geolocated. In Twitter's client you need to do this by enabling geolocation in settings and then enabling it for each tweet.

This will be a special tour for Code4Lib attendees, so please sign up below if you are interested, as I'll need to give the tour guide an estimate of how many people will come. Details on how to get to the Newberry will follow. Questions? Contact ballingerl at newberry dot org

'''''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.

2013 Lightning Talks Signup

2013-02-12T16:29:03Z

Thatandromeda: durrrr i can't spell

'''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 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].

Have something to add but didn't get a chance to do it in Chicago? Consider signing up to present at the [[Virtual Lightning Talks]] on April 3rd, 2013.

'''LIGHTNING TALK SIGNUPS OPEN AT 10 AM EST ON FEBRUARY 12'''

Those who already have presentation slots, please hold off and give those without slots lightning talk chances, to spread around the opportunity to talk to the conference.
