==Programming Sign-up==<br />
<br />
Code4Lib Midwest programming depends on the folks attending the conference. Please consider giving a presentation or lightning talk, or submitting your ideas for the hackfest/workshop.<br />
<br />
Share what you are working on! Add your name and a description below. Please also let us know how long you'll need, and whether you prefer Wednesday or Thursday (or if it doesn't matter)<br />
<br />
===Presentations or Workshops===<br />
<br />
'''ActiveSierra''' - Sean Crowe and James Van Mil: while waiting for a useful API from III, we've modeled useful bits of the Sierra database for use in Rails apps and in vanilla ruby. We'd be able to present the SierraDNA and ActiveRecord/ActiveModel frameworks with some of the tools we're building (~1 hour?). If folks have access to their home III database systems, we could also host a workshop/hackfest around these tools.<br />
<br />
'''Text mining: An introduction''' - This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the use of Python's Natural Language Toolkit ([http://www.nltk.org NLTK]), and through this process participants will learn the rudiments of text mining. While it may sound trivial, the workshop will count and tabulate words. How many words are in a given document? What are those words, and how often do they occur? How significant are those words compared to a similar sent in a different document? Visualize the comparison. Identify where selected words appear in a document and visualize that. After identifying significant words in a text, use a simple keyword-in-context (concordance) application to understand who the words are used in the text. Using these simple techniques a person can "read" a large corpuse of materials quickly and easily. Participants will be expected to have their own computers with the NLTK previously installed. --Eric Lease Morgan (University of Notre Dame)<br />
<br />
'''PowerShell''' - Brittany Adams (Wheaton College): Code4LIb has many full-fledged coders, but there are others who are new to the library coding environment and may have limited access to common tools and operating systems often found in the coder's toolbox. As someone new to coding, Brittany Adams will show how PowerShell, which is part of the Windows OS, can be applied to various metadata projects. PowerShell can serve as the entry point for those unwilling or unable to dive in the deep-end of the Linux pool.<br />
<br />
'''Handle: getting a grasp on URL management''' - Jeffrey Mudge and David Malone (Wheaton College): The print/analog library transition to thousands upon thousands of digital resources has brought with it the need to manage associated URLs. Part of the management is to address issues of resource transience and attempts to create persistence. The Handle System is a specification for assigning, managing, and resolving persistent identifiers for digital objects. This presentation will provide background on Handle as well as some user tools that Wheaton College has created to simplify the creation, management, and deletion of Handles.<br />
<br />
===Lightning Talks===<br />
Have something cool to share but you don't want to be in front of the room for more than 5 minutes? Lightning talks are for you. Sign up now or at the conference:<br />
<br />
<br />
Suggested topic: <br />
Benefits and risks of attempting user driven development : Early Adopters --> Use Cases --> Agile. Is this an art or a science, a structured process or a dialectic? (Linda Newman and team from UC)<br />

Abstract: <br />
<br />
[http://www.ansible.com Ansible] is an open source automation and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_management configuration management] tool that focuses on simplicity to help make your life as a developer, or a sysadmin, or even a full on devops-er, easier. This workshop will cover the basic building blocks used in Ansible as well as some best practices for maintaining your Ansible code. We will start by working through a simple example together, and then participants will be given time to work on their own projects with instructors providing guidance and troubleshooting along the way. By the end of the session, participants will have a working knowledge of Ansible and be able to write a working [http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks.html playbook] to meet local needs.<br />

Abstract:<br />
<br />
[http://docker.io Docker] ([http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/9669 jbfink code4lib journal article]) is an open source Linux operating system-level virtualization framework that has seen great uptake over the past year. This workshop will take you through the basic features of Docker, including setup, importing of containers, development workflows and deploying. Knowing when Docker is useful and when it isn't will also be covered. Ideally, every attendee will have ample experience creating and running their own Docker instances by the end.<br />

Abstract:<br />
<br />
"Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design.<br />
By providing developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice, away from the pressures of 'getting things done', the coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of skill improvement.<br />
Practicing the basic principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time." [http://coderetreat.org/about About Code Retreat]<br />

Hydra is a collaboration of over 30 educational institutions who work together to solve their repository needs by building open-source software. Dive into Hydra is a course that bootstraps you into the Hydra software framework. We'll start at the basics and walk you through the various layers of the Hydra stack. We'll conclude by installing the Worthwhile gem, enabling every participant to walk away with their own Institutional Repository. Participants who have prior exposure to web programming will get the most out of this course. It's recommended (but not required) that you attend "RailsBridge" prior to this workshop.<br />

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

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

<br />
Abstract:<br />
<br />
What does it mean to Code for Archives? Is it different than coding for libraries, and if so, how? <br />
<br />
Code4Lib is a wonderful and successful model (you must agree or you wouldn't be reading this). This workshop is an attempt to create a space to replicate the model in an Archival context. A space to talk about development for archives, and the particular challenges of developing archival systems. Topics to discuss include Integration between different Archival software tools, and between Archival tools/workflows and larger institutional tools like institutional repositories, discovery and access systems.<br />
<br />
The schedule may include the following:<br />
<br />
* Panel type conversations about the State of Art in Archives <br />
* Case Studies - discussion of workflows at specific institutions, including gaps in tools and how those are being addressed or could be addressed <br />
* Tool Demos - access to demos of some of the open source tools used in an Archival Context (examples include ArchivesSpace, Archivematica, BitCurator, AtoM)<br />
<br />
Artefactual will provide demos running Archivematica and AtoM, Lyrasis will do so for ArchivesSpace, BitCurator will for BitCurator. We encourage others to chime in here to expand the list of tools available to touch and play with. <br />

Abstract:<br />
<br />
Failure. Failure never changes. Since failure is an inescapable part of our professional work, it's important to be familiar with it, to acknowledge it, and to grow from it -- and, in contravention to longstanding tradition, to accept it as a fact of development life. At Fail4Lib, we'll talk about our own experiences with projects gone wrong, explore some famous design failures in the real world, and talk about how we can come to terms with the reality of failure, to make it part of our creative process -- rather than something to be shunned. Let's train ourselves to understand and embrace failure, encourage enlightened risk-taking, and seek out opportunities to fail and learn. This way, when we do what we do -- and fail at what we do -- we'll do so with grace and without fear.<br />
<br />
This year's preconference will include new case studies and an improved discussion format. Repeat customers are welcome! (Fail early, fail often.)<br />
<br />
The schedule may include the following:<br />
<br />
* Case studies. Avoid our own mistakes by bearing witness to the failures of others.<br />
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Let's learn from our own (and each others') failures.<br />
* Group therapy. Vent about your own experiences in a judgment-free setting. Explore how we can make our organizations less risk-averse and more failure-tolerant.<br />

=== Coding Custom Solutions for Every Department in the Library with File Analyzer ===<br />
<br />
'''"Half Day [Morning]"''' <br />
<br />
* Terry Brady, Georgetown University Library, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
Abstract<br />
<br />
The Georgetown University Library has shared an application called the [http://georgetown-university-libraries.github.io/File-Analyzer/ File Analyzer] that has allowed us to build custom solutions for nearly every department in the library.<br />
<br />
* Analyzing Marc Records for the Cataloging department<br />
* Transferring ILS invoices for the University Account System for the Acquisitions department <br />
* Delivering patron fines to the Bursar’s office for the Access Service department<br />
* Summarizing student worker timesheet data for the Finance department<br />
* Validating counter compliant reports for the Electronic Resources department<br />
* Preparing ingest packages for the Digital Services department<br />
* Validating checksums for the Preservation department<br />
<br />
This hands on workshop will step through the components of the application framework. Workshop participants will install and develop custom File Analyzer tasks in this session.<br />
<br />
The workshop agenda will loosely follow the [https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer/wiki/File-Analyzer-Training----Code4Lib-2014 pre-conference agenda from Code4Lib 2014].<br />

=== Confessions of the (Accidental) Code Hoarder: How to make your Code Sharable: ===<br />
<br />
'''Half Day [Whenever]'''<br />
<br />
* Karen A. Coombs, OCLC, coombsk@oclc.org<br />
<br />
Abstract<br />
Have you built something cool and useful that you want to share with others? This preconference session will discuss techniques and tools for sharing code. Using our own OCLC Developer Network PHP authentication code libraries as an example, we will discuss a set of recommended best practices for how to share your code.<br />
<br />
We’ll start with coding standards and test writing so you can be confident of the quality of your code. Next we'll discuss inline documentation as a tool for developers and how auto-generating documentation will save you time and effort. Lastly we'll provide an overview of the tricky areas of dependency and package management, and distribution tools. Along the way, we'll cover PHP coding standards, testing, and popular PHP tools including PHPDoc for documentation, Composer for smooth installations, and using GitHub and Packagist to manage distribution, updates and community feedback.<br />

'''"Half or Full Day [Based on Interest?, Morning/Afternoon Doesn’t Matter]"'''<br />
<br />
* William Hicks, University of North Texas, William.hicks@unt.edu<br />
* Volunteers?<br />
<br />
Abstract<br />
<br />
I’m envisioning a 1/2 of full day for front-end developers, content strategy people, and other misfits with an interest in user experience, where we can talk about our shared problems, use cases, the state of current research, and play with each other’s sites. A half day seems doable, but if there’s significant enough interest we could push for a full? Here are a few of the things I think might be interesting to see happen:<br />
<br />
* '''Analytics Share-fest:''' A few volunteers demonstrate data about their websites, catalogs, archival/digital collections. Most of us know our own sites but it would be interesting/validating to share this data with others so we can start to see commonalities between institutions, in certain kinds of systems, etc. For anyone using event tracking, or using click- or heat-maps, this would be a great opportunity to show off what people are seeing.<br />
<br />
* '''UX Best Practices Catch Up:''' This spring I had the opportunity to attend a few days worth of usability workshops from the Nielsen-Norman Group, most of which was focused on mobile. I could distill down a lot of the information into an short presentation. Since this is a constantly moving area of research it would be nice to see a few people do other similar short presentations on some current trends/findings relevant to libraries, search, etc.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Dev Lab:''' The UNT Libraries has been collecting a small set of smartphones and tablets for testing and development. Basically an [http://labup.org Open Device Lab]. We have about a dozen devices now of varying sizes, OS, OS Versions, + Google Glass. I’ll bring the devices, you can bring yours, and assuming we can get the wifi up and running we can test our sites/services with our big sausage fingers rather than pretending to do so through emulators and the one or two devices we each usually have on hand. If anyone is game they can do a tutorial on Browser-based Inspector Tools, Browser-Cams, or other testing services.<br />
<br />
* '''The Eye’s Have It.''' The UNT Libraries is also in the process of acquiring an eye tracker and software for usability and other gaze-based research studies. We’ll take possession of it shortly after this pre-conference proposal is due and will have a couple of months to play with them before the conference. Assuming we can get our act together learning the device and can get past the technical hurdles of setting it up at the pre-conference, we could try to do some live demos on each other’s sites; i.e. You nominate a site/service, someone in the audience volunteers to wear the device, and we all watch them struggle do the tasks you request on a projector. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. It would hardly be scientific, but it sure would be fun. As a backup, if we have some sites nominated beforehand, I can run a few students at my library through some tasks here and we can show off the results to the crowd.<br />
<br />
For those of you wanting to attend and help out, I’d really like to see some discussion on typography, writing for the web, “dealing with business/administrative requirements from on-high", maybe do some prototyping exercises, etc. Similarly if anyone is interested in doing some tutorials on bootstrap or how-to’s on running a usability test, that would be rad. But we need you to step up and steer part of the time for most of this to work, so if you are interested in some aspect, and especially if you want to volunteer to lead a bit of the time, contact me.<br />

=== Visualizing Library Data ===<br />
<br />
'''"Half Day [Morning||Afternoon]"''' <br />
<br />
* Matt Miller, matthewmiller@nypl.org, New York Public Library, NYPL Labs<br />
<br />
Visualizing your institution’s data can give new insight about your holding’s strengths, weaknesses and outliers. They can also provide potential new avenues for discovery and access. This half day session will focus on programmatically visualizing library metadata. Emphasis will be on creating web-based visualizations utilizing libraries such as d3.js but attention paid towards visualizing large datasets while keeping them web accessible. By then end of the session participants will have template, sample code and methodologies enabling them to start producing visualization with their own data.<br />

'''Directions to the library from UIC:'''<br />
<br />
''Bus''<br />
<br />
Take the #8 Halsted Bus north to Chicago (Bus will say "#8 Halsted/79th North to Broadway/Waveland")<br />
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)<br />
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.<br />
<br />
''Train + Bus (slightly faster/more reliable, but only by about 5-10 minutes)''<br />
<br />
Walk to the UIC/Halsted Blue Line <br />
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).<br />
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)<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

=== Game Night! ===<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:<br />
<br />
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 ;). <br />
<br />
<br />
Rough Schedule:<br />
* 7:30 setup<br />
* 7:45 start playing games!<br />
* 10:00 start winding down (don't start new games)<br />
* 10:30 all done, turn off the lights<br />
<br />
* 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*<br />
<br />
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.)<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
(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)<br />
<br />
<br />
The original list of people who signed up is below.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
(I've added some comments to the game lists below)<br />
* 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)<br />
* 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... <br />
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.<br />
*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. <br />
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG <br />
*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.) <br />
**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<br />
* 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.) <br />
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG<br />
** 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.<br />
* 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.<br />
* 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! <br />
** 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<br />
* 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. <br />
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG<br />
* 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. <br />
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G<br />
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.<br />
** No prob.<br />
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)<br />
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG<br />
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good. <br />
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G <br />
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.<br />
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G<br />
** mbutler: If someone actually brings Arkham Horror I'd throw down. Otherwise, whateve. <br />
* 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.<br />
* 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? <br />
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G<br />
* 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]. <br />
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG<br />
**Done! I will bring them both -- C<br />
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.<br />
* 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.<br />
** 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)<br />
* 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... <br />
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG<br />
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.<br />
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!<br />
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG<br />
** 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<br />
** 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<br />
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang! <br />
**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<br />
**Aww no. left my games at the office. Looks like I'll have to jump in someone else's game.<br />
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.<br />
* kenirwin: interested in attending<br />
* sdellis: attending<br />
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!<br />
* 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.<br />
* jessebrown: Interested in attending. I can bring Set and Zombie Fluxx.<br />
* terrywbrady: I would like to attend<br />
* dan fehrenbach (dnfehren): I would like to attend, can bring Pandemic if anyone is interested.<br />
* dileshni: interested in attending. <br />
* Corey Harper: definitely interested in attending if space allows.<br />
* saverkamp: interested in attending.<br />
* Emily Shaw: I like games. <br />
* 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.<br />
* Heidi Frank (hf36@nyu.edu) - I love card games like gin/rummy, but am open to anything.<br />
* Sibyl Schaefer - attending, and will bring anything that fits in my carry-on<br />
* cpsarason - I'm up for whatever!<br />
<br />
-- *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<br />
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 *<br />
<br />
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.<br />

== Layar: augmented reality Code4Lib view of Chicago ==<br />
<br />
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<br />
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]. <br />
<br />
To use it:<br />
<br />
* install Layar on your phone<br />
* run it and click to go into Geo Layers mode<br />
* search for "code4lib 2013"<br />
* launch the layer and look around<br />

Tour of the [http://www.newberry.org/ Newberry Library] -- 3:30 p.m.<br />
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<br />
<br />
'''''Directions: '''''<br />
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.<br />

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.*<br />
** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.<br />
** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.<br />
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced<br />
** [[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.<br />
** [[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.<br />
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.<br />

* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.<br />
* 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.<br />
* 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.<br />
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.<br />
** pgrayove at gmail dot com: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.<br />
** ranti: And I am. <br />
* 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).<br />

=== Flying Trapeze ===<br />
'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD<br />

'''Class is full.'''<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

=== Game Night! ===<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:<br />
<br />
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 ;). <br />
<br />
<br />
Rough Schedule:<br />
* 7:30 setup<br />
* 7:45 start playing games!<br />
* 10:30 start winding down (don't start new games)<br />
* 11:00 all done, turn off the lights<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
(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)<br />
<br />
<br />
The original list of people who signed up is below.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
(I've added some comments to the game lists below)<br />
* 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)<br />
* 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... <br />
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.<br />
*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. <br />
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG <br />
*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.) <br />
**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<br />
* 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.) <br />
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG<br />
** 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.<br />
* 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.<br />
* 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! <br />
** 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<br />
* 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. <br />
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG<br />
* 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. <br />
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G<br />
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.<br />
** No prob.<br />
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)<br />
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG<br />
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good. <br />
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G <br />
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.<br />
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G<br />
** mbutler: If someone actually brings Arkham Horror I'd throw down. Otherwise, whateve. <br />
* 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.<br />
* 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? <br />
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G<br />
* 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]. <br />
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG<br />
**Done! I will bring them both -- C<br />
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.<br />
* 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.<br />
** 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)<br />
* 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... <br />
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG<br />
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.<br />
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!<br />
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG<br />
** 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<br />
** 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<br />
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang! <br />
**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<br />
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.<br />
* kenirwin: interested in attending<br />
* sdellis: attending<br />
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!<br />
* 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.<br />
* jessebrown: Interested in attending. I can bring Set and Zombie Fluxx.<br />
* terrywbrady: I would like to attend<br />
* dan fehrenbach (dnfehren): I would like to attend, can bring Pandemic if anyone is interested.<br />
* dileshni: interested in attending. <br />
* Corey Harper: definitely interested in attending if space allows.<br />
* saverkamp: interested in attending.<br />
* Emily Shaw: I like games. <br />
* 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.<br />
* Heidi Frank (hf36@nyu.edu) - I love card games like gin/rummy, but am open to anything.<br />
* Sibyl Schaefer - attending, and will bring anything that fits in my carry-on<br />
<br />
-- *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<br />
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 *<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
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<br />
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]. <br />
<br />
To use it:<br />
<br />
* install Layar on your phone<br />
* run it and click to go into Geo Layers mode<br />
* search for "code4lib 2013"<br />
* launch the layer and look around<br />

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<br />
<br />
'''''Directions: '''''<br />
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.<br />

Are you interested in making it easier for users to obtain copies of known items? Do you feel your OpenURL and Interlibrary Loan software could be streamlined? This pre-conference workshop will focus on providing services that deliver content to users. Discovery systems are doing a better job of exposing library holdings but there's still a lot of work to do actually get the content in the users hands. <br />
<br />
Possible topics/activities include:<br />
* group discussion of what some libraries have done in this area<br />
* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery <br />
* overview of tools available <br />
* sharing of strategies and experiences<br />
* time to work with and review open source code in this area. Some possible tools to install and test out [https://github.com/team-umlaut/umlaut Umlaut], [https://github.com/lawlesst/heroku-360link Py360 Link]. <br />

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===<br />
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu<br />
<br />
Since Google published its paper on BigTable in 2006, alternatives to the traditional relational database model have been growing in both variety and popularity. These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called "Big Data" problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, CouchDB, and Neo4j.<br />

==Half Day Afternoon==<br />
=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br />
* Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu<br />
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<br />
<br />
* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? Interested in data visualization? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest? See Roy Tennant's [http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA332564.html "Where Librarians Go To Hack"] and the page for the [http://access2010.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3.html Access 2010 Hackfest]. We propose a half-day hackfest with a focus on visualization library data -- think stuff like library catalog data, access/circulation statistics, etc. Here's how it works, roughly: <br />
- we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.<br />
- we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.<br />
- at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.<br />
<br />
Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! <br />

Hydra (http://projecthydra.org) is a free and open source repository solution that is being used by institutions on both sides of the North Atlantic to provide access to their digital content. Hydra provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike. Leveraging Blacklight as its front end discovery interface, the hydra project provides a suite of software components, data models, and design patterns for building a robust and sustainable digital repository, as well as a community of support for ongoing development. This workshop will provide an introduction to the hydra project and its software components. Attendees will leave with enough knowledge to get started building their own local repository solutions. This workshop will be led by Adam Wead of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. <br />

Blacklight (http://projectblacklight.org) is a free and open source discovery interface built on solr and ruby on rails. It is used by institutions such as Stanford University, NC State, WGBH, Johns Hopkins University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an ever expanding community of adopters and contributors. Blacklight can be used as a front-end discovery solution for an ILS, or the contents of a digital repository, or to provide a unified discovery solution for many siloed collections. In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&A around local issues people might encounter. <br />
<br />
Note: this workshop will be tailored as a follow-on to the morning's RailsBridge Intro to Ruby on Rails workshop, but everyone is welcome<br />

=== Fail4lib ===<br />
* Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)<br />
* Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)<br />
<br />
The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans ("The Pivot"), and failing more cheaply.<br />
<br />
Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:<br />
<br />
# Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.<br />
# Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:<br />
#* Technical failure<br />
#* Failure to effectively address a real user need<br />
#* Overinvestment<br />
#* Outreach/Promotion failure<br />
#* Design/UX failure<br />
#* Project team communication failure<br />
#* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)<br />
#* Successes gleaned from failures<br />
# A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.<br />
# A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.<br />
<br />
I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers. I am happy to be outvoted by participants on any of these points--I just want to get us talking about our screw-ups, blind spots, and anvils dropping from the sky.<br />

<br />
This will be a full day of self-selected barcamp style sessions. Anyone who wants to present can write down the topic on an index card and, after the keynote, we will vote to choose what we want to see. Attendees can also pick a topic and attempt to talk someone else into presenting on it.<br />
<br />
If we run out of topics, we will pay homage to the project by testing patches for Drupal 8. It is easy, and we will show you how to do this invaluable task.<br />
<br />
Local Drupal uber-ninja Larry Garfield will stop by to answer questions and give us some guidance.<br />

<br />
The rest of code4libcon is pretty well structured these days; come in the morning for a few hours of old-school [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-space_technology open space technology] unconference. Bring a rough talk or idea you want to share or questions you have or something you want to learn about or discuss with other people, and be ready to tell us about it. Use it as extra prep time for your upcoming prepared or lightning talk if you want. We'll plan the morning out a little bit at the beginning, but not too much. What we do will be up to the people there in the room.<br />
<br />
If there's interest, we could start with a "welcome to code4lib" introductory session for newcomers.<br />

=== Delivery services ===<br />
* Ted Lawless, Brown University Library, tlawless at brown edu. <br />
* Kevin Reiss, Princeton University Library, kr2 at princeton edu.<br />
<br />
Are you interested in making it easier for users to obtain copies of known items? Do you feel your OpenURL and Interlibrary Loan software could be streamlined? This pre-conference workshop will focus on providing services that deliver content to users. Discovery systems are doing a better job of exposing library holdings but there's still a lot of work to do actually get the content in the users hands. <br />
<br />
Possible topics/activities include:<br />
* panel discussion of what some libraries have done in this area<br />
* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery <br />
* overview of tools available <br />
* sharing of strategies and experiences<br />
* time to work with and review open source code in this area. Some possible tools to install and test out [https://github.com/team-umlaut/umlaut Umlaut], [https://github.com/lawlesst/heroku-360link Py360 Link]. <br />

<div>= Code4Lib 2013 Committees =<br />
<br />
If you are interested in helping out with a particular part of the Code4Lib 2013 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (called 'committees' for lack of a better term). Each committee should select a committee lead that will coordinate the activities of the committee and its work with the hosting site. Discussions of a non-sensitive nature should take place on the Code4LibCon mailing list for transparency and future reference. Please feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees.<br />
