[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 />
"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 />

<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 />

<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 />

<br />
We can start with the basics of Git and discuss ways in which it can help you version control just about any file, not just code. Points we can go over:<br />
<br />
* What is a Distributed Version Control System?<br />
* What's the difference between Git and Github.com?<br />
* How to initialize new Git projects locally and on a remote server/Github<br />
* Cloning/Forking existing projects and keeping up to date<br />
* The wonderful world of Git branches<br />
* Interactive rebasing<br />
* Contributing code to existing projects & what pull requests are<br />
* How to handle merge conflicts<br />
* Overview of workflows and branch best practices<br />
* (time allowing) Advanced git: pre/post hooks, submodules, anything else?<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 />

<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 />

<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 />

<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 />

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 />

<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 />

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 />

<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 />

=== 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 />

<br />
* Erin Fahy, Stanford University, efahy@stanford.edu<br />
* Shaun Trujillo, Mount Holyoke College, strujill@mtholyoke.edu<br />
<br />
We can start with the basics of Git and discuss ways in which it can help you version control just about any file, not just code. Points we can go over:<br />
<br />
* What is a Distributed Version Control System?<br />
* What's the difference between Git and Github.com?<br />
* How to initialize new Git projects locally and on a remote server/Github<br />
* Cloning/Forking existing projects and keeping up to date<br />
* The wonderful world of Git branches<br />
* Interactive rebasing<br />
* Contributing code to existing projects & what pull requests are<br />
* How to handle merge conflicts<br />
* Overview of workflows and branch best practices<br />
* (time allowing) Advanced git: pre/post hooks, submodules, anything else?<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 />

<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 />

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 />

=== UXtravaganza ===<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 />

<br />
* Erin Fahy, Stanford University, efahy@stanford.edu<br />
* Shaun Trujillo, Mount Holyoke College, strujill@mtholyoke.edu<br />
<br />
We can start with the basics of Git and discuss ways in which it can help you version control just about any file, not just code. Points we can go over:<br />
<br />
* What is a Distributed Version Control System?<br />
* What's the difference between Git and Github.com?<br />
* How to initialize new Git projects locally and on a remote server/Github<br />
* Cloning/Forking existing projects and keeping up to date<br />
* The wonderful world of Git branches<br />
* Interactive rebasing<br />
* Contributing code to existing projects & what pull requests are<br />
* How to handle merge conflicts<br />
* Overview of workflows and branch best practices<br />
* (time allowing) Advanced git: pre/post hooks, submodules, anything else?<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 />

<hr />
<div>= PROPOSALS ARE CLOSED : PLEASE DO NOT ADD NEW PRECONFERENCES TO THIS PAGE =<br />
<br />
Proposals were accepted through December 6th, 2013.<br />
<br />
It would be really, super duper helpful if folks who think they might want to attend a pre-conference could indicate interest by adding your name to a session below. <br />
<br />
<br />
===Note===<br />
Attendance at a pre-conference will require a small fee ''due at the time of conference registration".<br />
<br />
Although this was specified in the email announcements relating to pre-conferences, it was not added to this page until December 2nd. I (Adam C.) apologize for the omission and I hope this will not cause any "sticker shock." Putting your name on this list does not incur any obligation on your part, but we'll be using it to gauge interest and work out room assignments.<br />
<br />
Please put your pre-conference on the list in the following format:<br />

===Open Refine Hackfest===<br />
'''"Half-Day[Morning]"'''<br />
* Contact [[User:bibliotechy|Chad Nelson]], chadbnelson@gmail.com<br />
<br />
[http://openrefine.org/ Open Refine] is a powerful open source tool for wrangling messy data that can also be used to help in the creation of Linked Data via the [https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconciliation-Service-API Reconciliation API]. It is possible to write reconciliation services against API's, like the [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/04/reconciling-author-names-using-open.html VIAF service] or, even just against local authority files for helping maintain authority control<br />
<br />
The session would first introduce Open Refine, then walk through building a reconciliation service, and the rest of the session would be a hackfest where we build new reconciliation services for public consumption or local use. <br />

'''"Half-Day [Afternoon]"''' <br />
* Contact Jim Hahn, University of Illinois, jimfhahn@gmail.com<br />
* Contact David Ward, University of Illinois, dh-ward@illinois.edu<br />
<br />
This structured hackfest will give attendees an opportunity to explore methods to create responsive mobile apps using the Bootstrap framework [http://getbootstrap.com/]and a set of APIs for accessing library data. We will start with an API template for creating space-based mobile tools that draw from work coming out of the IMLS funded Student/Library Collaborative grant [http://www.library.illinois.edu/nlg_student_apps]. Available APIs will include a room reservation template and codebase for implementing at any campus and the set of Minrva catalog APIs generating JSONP [http://minrvaproject.org/services.php]. <br />
<br />
Hosts will give a brief report of a study on student hacking projects and interests in mobile library apps that are the basis for the templates utilized in this Hackathon. By the end of the pre-conference attendees will have a sample responsive mobile web app in Bootstrap 3 to bring back to their campus which can plug into their site-based content.<br />

<br />
The task of design (and the work that we do as library coders) is intimately tied to failure. Failures, both big and small, motivate us to create and improve. Failures are also occasionally the result of our work. Understanding and embracing failure, encouraging enlightened risk-taking, and seeking out opportunities to fail and learn are essential to success in our field. 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 feared.<br />
<br />
The schedule may include the following:<br />
<br />
* Case studies. We'll look at some classic failures from the literature: What can we learn from the mistakes of others?<br />
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Talk about your own experiences with rough starts, labor pains, and doomed projects in your own work: What can we learn from our own (and each others') failures?<br />
* Group therapy. Let's talk about how to deal with risk management, failed projects, experimental endeavors, and more: How can we make ourselves, our colleagues, and our organizations more fault tolerant? How do we make sure we fail as productively as possible?<br />

'''Full Day'''<br />

* Robert Warren, rwarren (at) math.carleton.ca<br />
<br />
We will hack at the intersection of diverse content from Libraries, Archives and Museums and bleeding edge tools from computational linguistics for slicing and dicing that content. Did you just acquire the email archives of a startup company? Maybe you can automatically build an org chart. Have you got metadata in a slew of languages? Perhaps you can search it all using one query. Is name authority control for e-resources getting too costly? Let’s see if entity linking techniques can help. These are just a few teasers. <br />
<br />
There’ll be plenty of content and tools supplied, but please bring your own [data] too -- you’ll hack with it in new ways throughout the day. We’ll get started with some lightning talks on what we’ve brought,then we’ll break up into groups to experiment and work on the ideas that appeal. Three guaranteed outcomes: you’ll walk away with new ideas, new tools, and new people you’ll have met.<br />

'''Half-day [Afternoon]'''<br />
<br />
* Contact: Darren Hardy, Stanford University, drh@stanford.edu<br />
* Moderator: Bess Sadler, Stanford University, bess@stanford.edu<br />
<br />
Do you have digitized maps, GIS datasets like Shapefiles, aerial photography,<br />
etc., all of which you want to integrate into your digital repository? In this<br />
workshop, we will discuss how Hydra can provide discovery, delivery, and<br />
management services for geospatial assets, as well as solicit questions about<br />
your own GIS projects. We aim to help answer the following questions you might have about putting geospatial data into your Hydra-based digital library:<br />
<br />
* What are the types of geospatial data?<br />
* How to dive into Hydra?<br />
* How to model geospatial holdings with Hydra?<br />
* How to discover and view geospatial data?<br />
* How to build a geospatial data infrastructure?<br />
* What are common approaches and problems?<br />

===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===<br />
'''Full Day'''<br />
<br />
Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian]<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
<br />
Librarianship is largely made up of women, yet women are significantly underrepresented in tech positions, on any level, within libraries themselves. Why? What are we doing to encourage women to become more involved in STEM within librarianship? What kind of message are we sending when library technology keynotes remain almost resolutely male? How are we changing the face of technology, not only within libraries, but with the field itself? How are we training our staff and colleagues in the areas of fairness and removal of bias? Our vendors?<br />
<br />
Lots of tough questions.<br />
<br />
While the conversation has been going on via various blogs and articles within the last few years, it was given a public face at [http://infotoday.com/il2013/day.asp?day=Monday#session_D105 Internet Librarian 2013] where a panel of 7 (four women, three men) gave personal experiences on the above and then opened up the conversation to the audience. As eye opening and enriching the conversation was, a 45 minute panel was not enough. One thing remains clear: We need to keep the conversation moving forward and start making some radical changes in the way we think, act, and how we need to harness this to start making real changes within librarianship itself.<br />
<br />
Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more<br />
<br />
Those attending should expect: Begin with opening up the conversation of experiences and talking about what is most needed, spending remaining time putting together live, usable solutions to start implementing as well as pushing the conversation forward at local levels<br />

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===<br />
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''<br />
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The FileAnalyzer (http://georgetown-university-libraries.github.io/File-Analyzer/) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.<br />
<br />
The first half of this session will be targeted to potential users and developers. The second half of the session will be targeted towards developers who are interested in developing custom rules for the application.<br />
<br />
''Session Overview''<br />
* Overview of the application<br />
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application<br />
* Compiling and building the application<br />
* Coding a custom file processing task<br />
<br />

The agenda will be attendee-driven, with a focus on sharing, synthesizing, and improving workflow strategies and documentation for software-based approaches to wrangling and providing access to audio and video content.<br />
Possible topics of discussion might include:<br />
* Use of format id and characterization/metadata extraction tools for AV<br />
* Creating and using time-based metadata<br />
* Managing (moving, fixity checking, etc) massive files (like uncompressed video)<br />
For a better idea of the topics and concerns that have informed some past AV-themed events, check out the event wikis for [http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/CURATEcamp_AVpres_2013 CURATEcamp AVpres 2013] as well as the [http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Association_of_Moving_Image_Archivists_%26_Digital_Library_Federation_Hack_Day_2013 AMIA/DLF 2013 Hack Day] .<br />

===OCLC Web Services Hackfest===<br />
<br />
"Half-Day" [afternoon]<br />
<br />
Contact: Shelley Hostetler, Community Manager, Developer Network hostetls[at]oclc.org<br />
<br />
This half-day hackfest will explore some of the OCLC Developer Network web services. We will provide an overview of some of the common topics such as the general REST-based architecture for most services and how to use some new authentication clients. The group can then decide to take a deep dive into a particular API and/or write a client library for the community.<br />

===Obey the Testing Goat!: Test Driven Web Development From The Ground Up===<br />
'''Half-Day [tbd - probably afternoon]'''<br />
* Contact [[User:Mredar|Mark Redar]], mredar[at]gmail.com<br />
<br />
Test driven development is a proven method for producing better quality code. But I've found it hard to follow a strict TDD methodology when starting new web projects. How do you write that first test when there is no code or web pages created yet.<br />
<br />
In this session, we will follow the excellent book [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029533.do "Test-Driven Web Development with Python"] to create a simple web site in Django following TDD from the first character typed. Come ready to code and test. No prior knowledge of python or Django required.<br />
<br />
By the end of this session, you should be able to [http://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/ "Obey the Testing Goat"] from the start to finish for your next project.<br />

===Summon Hackfest ===<br />
<br />
Presenter: Eddie Newwirth and presenters from Summon libraries<br />
Contact: Scott Schuetze (first DOT last @ serialssolutions. com)<br />
<br />
The Summon Hackfest (10:30am-12pm) will be a great opportunity for libraries using the Summon service to talk about improving discovery of resources, share their creative customizations and code, and exchange ideas about ways they can leverage the Summon API to better meet the needs of their users.<br />
<br />
The Summon Hackfest is open to all libraries currently using ProQuest discovery and management services (Intota, Summon, Ulrich’s or the 360 suite of services), whether they are attending Code4Lib or are just in the area.<br />

<div>== Ideas ==<br />
<br />
* 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.*<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 />
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.<br />
** scollett: sun/mon/tue, drinks, maybe flight. Parks and Recreation: [http://bit.ly/13MY2EW The wrong way to consume alcohol (molecular mixology)]<br />
<br />
* Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest, could range from party games like Werewolf, Wits & Wagers, Telestrations, Taboo, Apples to Apples to perhaps more strategic games like De Vulgari Eloquentia or Eclipse. Jon Gorman is willing to bring some games, are you? Jon will try to send out an email soon to get some interest.<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 />
**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 />
** 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 />
** 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 />
** 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 />
** 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 />
** arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.<br />
** sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)<br />
** dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good. <br />
** smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.<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 />
** 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 />
<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 12.--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.<br />
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.<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 />

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 />

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 />

* Jason Ronallo, NC State (jronallo at gmail.com)<br />
* Shaun Ellis (helper), Princeton University Library, (shaune@princeton.edu)<br />
<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 />

<br />
* Presenter(s)/Leader(s): TBD<br />
* Guy Who'd Be Interested in Helping: Jay Luker, Smithsonian Astrophysics Data System (jluker at cfa.harvard.edu)<br />
<br />
This is a stub proposal entered solely to beat the submission deadline. I think there's be sufficient interest in this session, but only thought of it yesterday and haven't had time to coordinate with actual DPLA'ers and confirm that any of them are definitely coming.<br />
<br />
'''I plan on attending:'''<br />
* First and last name<br />
<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 />

=== Solr 4 In Depth ===<br />
* Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)<br />
<br />
The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released! It's a really big deal. There are so many improvements, it makes the head spin. This session will cover the major feature improvements from Lucene's flexible indexing and scoring API up through SolrCloud in a digestable half-day format. Sounds like this is an evening thing that might happen at a bar somewhere?<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 />
* 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 />

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 />

<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 />

The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released! It's a really big deal. There are so many improvements, it makes the head spin. This session will cover the major feature improvements from Lucene's flexible indexing and scoring API up through SolrCloud in a digestable half-day format. Sounds like this is an evening thing that might happen at a bar somewhere?<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 />

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 />

RailsBridge comes to code4lib! We'll follow the RailsBridge curriculum (http://railsbridge.org) to provide a gentle introduction to Ruby on Rails. Topics covered include an introduction to the Ruby language, the Rails framework, and version control with git. Participants will build a working Rails application. <br />
<br />
There will be some pre-preconference preparation needed so that we can effectively use our time. Details to come.<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 />

<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 />

=== Open space session ===<br />
<br />
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<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 />

=== Intro to Blacklight ===<br />
* Bess Sadler, Stanford University Library (bess at stanford.edu)<br />
* Justin Coyne, MediaShelf (justin.coyne at yourmediashelf.com)<br />
<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, University of Virginia, 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 can be a standalone intro, or attendees can follow up with the intro to hydra workshop in the afternoon.<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 />

* 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 />

* 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 />

The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released! It's a really big deal. There are so many improvements, it makes the head spin. This session will cover the major feature improvements from Lucene's flexible indexing and scoring API up through SolrCloud in a digestable half-day format. Sounds like this is an evening thing that might happen at a bar somewhere?<br />

=== Developing applications using REST web services ===<br />
<br />
Been hearing about web services but don’t know where to start to build something? Have you built applications that use read services but are stumped by OAuth, Content Negotiation and HTTP Headers? Come dig in and learn how to build applications that interact with both read and write REST services. We’ll cover the basic principles and practices of REST services and discuss the Atom Publishing Protocol as a REST service and its extensibility. The group will examine and test the CouchDB HTTP API by building a simple list creation tool. You’ll learn how OCLC’s platform web services leverage Atom to expose the data and business processes from OCLC’s library systems. By the end of the session, you’ll know the basic principles of REST services, be able to perform Create, Read, Update and Delete operations via REST and be able to authenticate to REST services via API keys and OAuth.<br />
<br />
Come ready to learn and code!<br />

=== Linkfest ===<br />
<br />
We've had talks and sessions galore about Linked Data at code4lib in past years. Let's focus on linking. Bring data you want to publish and link to or link from and your ideas about new ways we can push data linking into being part of our regular approach to how we put our libraries' content and services on the web. At the start of the session we'll run a quick poll to see who wants to link to what and how, and we'll pair or group up and get to work from there. May a kajillion links bloom!<br />
<br />
If you need an "intro to linked data" we can prep a good list of readings/talks to review before you come. But please come ready to link!<br />

=== Git -r done === <br />
<br />
A session to cover all things Git, everyone's favorite distributed version control system. This session should cover a little bit of the history of Git, how it works, and how it's different than other version controls systems like SVN. Practical application should also be covered, including how to clone existing repos and contribute code back to them, how to host your own repository, and best practices for setting up a distributed network.<br />
<br />
Looking for attendees with real-life Git experience to share it, so we can all broaden our understanding of possible use-cases and nifty advanced features.<br />

=== Blacklight ===<br />
<br />
This session will be walk-through of the architecture of Blacklight and what we have been improving since the rails 3 upgrade. In addition to the architecture of the software, we will also briefly discuss the architecture of the Blacklight community and what has made it successful so far.<br />
<br />
For part of the session we will install Blacklight live and get it up and running. This install demo will include a How-To on basic customizations in Blacklight using a test-driven approach (one of the cornerstones of the Blacklight community).<br />
<br />
For more information about Blacklight see our wiki ( http://projectblacklight.org/ ) and our GitHub repo ( https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight ). We will also send out some brief instructions beforehand for those that would like to setup their environments to follow along and get Blacklight up and running on their local machines.<br />

=== [[Digging into metadata: context, code, and collaboration]] ===<br />
<br />
Working with library/archival metadata is difficult. This preconference will tackle pressing questions and will show some of the intricacies of metadata (including AACR2/MARC) with exercises to demonstrate why inconsistencies exist in the data. What steps can the cataloging & metadata community take to help improve the quality of this data? What tools & techniques could help? Rules have evolved over time leaving dirty legacy data. Systems have impacted--and will continue to impact--data structure & design. How can this data be aggregated and refined for use in a new emerging data environments? What assumptions can safely be made and when do you need to inquire about local practice? We will end with a hack-fest where you can ask questions of experienced catalogers and get help with your metadata related problems. Bring your laptops and data. <br />

=== "Geo" ===<br />
This session will explore, we hope collaboratively, the presentation of objects on maps. There will be a section on workflow, a section on discovering objects via "geobrowse," a section discovery of objects via "geosearch," and an exploration of the discovery and presentation of geo-referenced images (e.g. historic maps). There will be open discussion on other approaches to map-based discovery. Emphasis will be placed on simplicity of workflow and implementation. Technologies include: Atom, Django, Solr, and OpenLayers. <br />

=== Developing applications using REST web services ===<br />
<br />
Been hearing about web services but don’t know where to start to build something? Have you built applications that use read services but are stumped by OAuth, Content Negotiation and HTTP Headers? Come dig in and learn how to build applications that interact with both read and write REST services. We’ll cover the basic principles and practices of REST services and discuss the Atom Publishing Protocol as a REST service and its extensibility. The group will examine and test the CouchDB HTTP API by building a simple list creation tool. You’ll learn how OCLC’s platform web services leverage Atom to expose the data and business processes from OCLC’s library systems. By the end of the session, you’ll know the basic principles of REST services, be able to perform Create, Read, Update and Delete operations via REST and be able to authenticate to REST services via API keys and OAuth.<br />
<br />
Come ready to learn and code!<br />

<br />
<br />
=== Linkfest ===<br />
<br />
We've had talks and sessions galore about Linked Data at code4lib in past years. Let's focus on linking. Bring data you want to publish and link to or link from and your ideas about new ways we can push data linking into being part of our regular approach to how we put our libraries' content and services on the web. At the start of the session we'll run a quick poll to see who wants to link to what and how, and we'll pair or group up and get to work from there. May a kajillion links bloom!<br />
<br />
If you need an "intro to linked data" we can prep a good list of readings/talks to review before you come. But please come ready to link!<br />

=== Knocking Down Silos: Tools and Approaches for Simplifying Discovery ===<br />
<br />
What strategies have you used to merge silos to give users a more streamlined search experience? How are libraries using tools like Drupal, Islandora, Dublin Core, Solr and Blacklight to make article, catalog and/or repository content discoverable via a single interface? If you’re interested in these issues, challenges and conundrums join us for a morning of thinking, dreaming and scheming. <br />
<br />
Speakers/Facilitators will be:<br />
- Thom Cox - Manager of Library Information Technology Services - Tufts University<br />

==Half Day Afternoon==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Git -r done === <br />
<br />
A session to cover all things Git, everyone's favorite distributed version control system. This session should cover a little bit of the history of Git, how it works, and how it's different than other version controls systems like SVN. Practical application should also be covered, including how to clone existing repos and contribute code back to them, how to host your own repository, and best practices for setting up a distributed network.<br />
<br />
Looking for attendees with real-life Git experience to share it, so we can all broaden our understanding of possible use-cases and nifty advanced features.<br />

=== Blacklight ===<br />
<br />
This session will be walk-through of the architecture of Blacklight and what we have been improving since the rails 3 upgrade. In addition to the architecture of the software, we will also briefly discuss the architecture of the Blacklight community and what has made it successful so far.<br />
<br />
For part of the session we will install Blacklight live and get it up and running. This install demo will include a How-To on basic customizations in Blacklight using a test-driven approach (one of the cornerstones of the Blacklight community).<br />
<br />
For more information about Blacklight see our wiki ( http://projectblacklight.org/ ) and our GitHub repo ( https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight ). We will also send out some brief instructions beforehand for those that would like to setup their environments to follow along and get Blacklight up and running on their local machines.<br />

<br />
=== Hacking Content ===<br />
<br />
What is the future of getting library information and resources into users’ hands at the right time and with appropriate context and relevancy. Learning management systems, library guides, Web-scale discovery systems-plenty of tools to choose from and still we see lots of opportunities for improvement. Let’s pick them apart and brainstorm ideas for projects that could address weaknesses in one or all of these systems. If you’re interested in these issues, challenges and conundrums join us for a day of thinking, dreaming and scheming. All skill sets and backgrounds needed. <br />
<br />
Speakers/Facilitators will be:<br />
- Thom Cox - Manager of Library Information Technology Services - Tufts University<br />
- Ken Varnum – Web Systems Manager - University of Michigan Libraries<br />
- Evviva Weinraub – Director, Emerging Technologies and Services - Oregon State University Libraries <br />

=== Developing applications using REST web services ===<br />
<br />
Been hearing about web services but don’t know where to start to build something? Have you built applications that use read services but are stumped by OAuth, Content Negotiation and HTTP Headers? Come dig in and learn how to build applications that interact with both read and write REST services. We’ll cover the basic principles and practices of REST services and discuss the Atom Publishing Protocol as a REST service and its extensibility. The group will examine and test the CouchDB HTTP API by building a simple list creation tool. You’ll learn how OCLC’s platform web services leverage Atom to expose the data and business processes from OCLC’s library systems. By the end of the session, you’ll know the basic principles of REST services, be able to perform Create, Read, Update and Delete operations via REST and be able to authenticate to REST services via API keys and OAuth.<br />
<br />
Come ready to learn and code!<br />

==Half Day Morning==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Linkfest ===<br />
<br />
We've had talks and sessions galore about Linked Data at code4lib in past years. Let's focus on linking. Bring data you want to publish and link to or link from and your ideas about new ways we can push data linking into being part of our regular approach to how we put our libraries' content and services on the web. At the start of the session we'll run a quick poll to see who wants to link to what and how, and we'll pair or group up and get to work from there. May a kajillion links bloom!<br />
<br />
If you need an "intro to linked data" we can prep a good list of readings/talks to review before you come. But please come ready to link!<br />

==Half Day Afternoon==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Git -r done === <br />
<br />
A session to cover all things Git, everyone's favorite distributed version control system. This session should cover a little bit of the history of Git, how it works, and how it's different than other version controls systems like SVN. Practical application should also be covered, including how to clone existing repos and contribute code back to them, how to host your own repository, and best practices for setting up a distributed network.<br />
<br />
Looking for attendees with real-life Git experience to share it, so we can all broaden our understanding of possible use-cases and nifty advanced features.<br />

=== Blacklight ===<br />
<br />
This session will be walk-through of the architecture of Blacklight and what we have been improving since the rails 3 upgrade. In addition to the architecture of the software, we will also briefly discuss the architecture of the Blacklight community and what has made it successful so far.<br />
<br />
For part of the session we will install Blacklight live and get it up and running. This install demo will include a How-To on basic customizations in Blacklight using a test-driven approach (one of the cornerstones of the Blacklight community).<br />
<br />
For more information about Blacklight see our wiki ( http://projectblacklight.org/ ) and our GitHub repo ( https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight ). We will also send out some brief instructions beforehand for those that would like to setup their environments to follow along and get Blacklight up and running on their local machines.<br />

=== [[Digging into metadata: context, code, and collaboration]] ===<br />
<br />
Working with library/archival metadata is difficult. This preconference will tackle pressing questions and will show some of the intricacies of metadata (including AACR2/MARC) with exercises to demonstrate why inconsistencies exist in the data. What steps can the cataloging & metadata community take to help improve the quality of this data? What tools & techniques could help? Rules have evolved over time leaving dirty legacy data. Systems have impacted--and will continue to impact--data structure & design. How can this data be aggregated and refined for use in a new emerging data environments? What assumptions can safely be made and when do you need to inquire about local practice? We will end with a hack-fest where you can ask questions of experienced catalogers and get help with your metadata related problems. Bring your laptops and data. <br />

=== "Geo" ===<br />
This session will explore, we hope collaboratively, the presentation of objects on maps. There will be a section on workflow, a section on discovering objects via "geobrowse," a section discovery of objects via "geosearch," and an exploration of the discovery and presentation of geo-referenced images (e.g. historic maps). There will be open discussion on other approaches to map-based discovery. Emphasis will be placed on simplicity of workflow and implementation. Technologies include: Atom, Django, Solr, and OpenLayers. <br />

<br />
=== Hacking Content ===<br />
<br />
What is the future of getting library information and resources into users’ hands at the right time and with appropriate context and relevancy. Learning management systems, library guides, Web-scale discovery systems-plenty of tools to choose from and still we see lots of opportunities for improvement. Let’s pick them apart and brainstorm ideas for projects that could address weaknesses in one or all of these systems. If you’re interested in these issues, challenges and conundrums join us for a day of thinking, dreaming and scheming. All skill sets and backgrounds needed. <br />
<br />
Speakers/Facilitators will be:<br />
- Thom Cox - Manager of Library Information Technology Services - Tufts University<br />
- Ken Varnum – Web Systems Manager - University of Michigan Libraries<br />
- Evviva Weinraub – Director, Emerging Technologies and Services - Oregon State University Libraries <br />

=== Developing applications using REST web services ===<br />
<br />
Been hearing about web services but don’t know where to start to build something? Have you built applications that use read services but are stumped by OAuth, Content Negotiation and HTTP Headers? Come dig in and learn how to build applications that interact with both read and write REST services. We’ll cover the basic principles and practices of REST services and discuss the Atom Publishing Protocol as a REST service and its extensibility. The group will examine and test the CouchDB HTTP API by building a simple list creation tool. You’ll learn how OCLC’s platform web services leverage Atom to expose the data and business processes from OCLC’s library systems. By the end of the session, you’ll know the basic principles of REST services, be able to perform Create, Read, Update and Delete operations via REST and be able to authenticate to REST services via API keys and OAuth.<br />
<br />
Come ready to learn and code!<br />

==Half Day Morning==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Linkfest ===<br />
<br />
We've had talks and sessions galore about Linked Data at code4lib in past years. Let's focus on linking. Bring data you want to publish and link to or link from and your ideas about new ways we can push data linking into being part of our regular approach to how we put our libraries' content and services on the web. At the start of the session we'll run a quick poll to see who wants to link to what and how, and we'll pair or group up and get to work from there. May a kajillion links bloom!<br />
<br />
If you need an "intro to linked data" we can prep a good list of readings/talks to review before you come. But please come ready to link!<br />

==Half Day Afternoon==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Git -r done === <br />
<br />
A session to cover all things Git, everyone's favorite distributed version control system. This session should cover a little bit of the history of Git, how it works, and how it's different than other version controls systems like SVN. Practical application should also be covered, including how to clone existing repos and contribute code back to them, how to host your own repository, and best practices for setting up a distributed network.<br />
<br />
Looking for attendees with real-life Git experience to share it, so we can all broaden our understanding of possible use-cases and nifty advanced features.<br />

=== Blacklight ===<br />
<br />
This session will be walk-through of the architecture of Blacklight and what we have been improving since the rails 3 upgrade. In addition to the architecture of the software, we will also briefly discuss the architecture of the Blacklight community and what has made it successful so far.<br />
<br />
For part of the session we will install Blacklight live and get it up and running. This install demo will include a How-To on basic customizations in Blacklight using a test-driven approach (one of the cornerstones of the Blacklight community).<br />
<br />
For more information about Blacklight see our wiki ( http://projectblacklight.org/ ) and our GitHub repo ( https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight ). We will also send out some brief instructions beforehand for those that would like to setup their environments to follow along and get Blacklight up and running on their local machines.<br />

=== DACS and EAD Overview ===<br />
<br />
This session will look at what DACS (Describing Archives: a Content Standard) is and describe the ten required elements. Then there will be an overview of what EAD is, how it works, and the required elements. The final part will be a practice session on taking a paper finding aid and coding it using DACS and EAD.<br />

=== [[Digging into metadata: context, code, and collaboration]] ===<br />
<br />
Working with library/archival metadata is difficult. This preconference will tackle pressing questions and will show some of the intricacies of metadata (including AACR2/MARC) with exercises to demonstrate why inconsistencies exist in the data. What steps can the cataloging & metadata community take to help improve the quality of this data? What tools & techniques could help? Rules have evolved over time leaving dirty legacy data. Systems have impacted--and will continue to impact--data structure & design. How can this data be aggregated and refined for use in a new emerging data environments? What assumptions can safely be made and when do you need to inquire about local practice? We will end with a hack-fest where you can ask questions of experienced catalogers and get help with your metadata related problems. Bring your laptops and data. <br />

=== "Geo" ===<br />
This session will explore, we hope collaboratively, the presentation of objects on maps. There will be a section on workflow, a section on discovering objects via "geobrowse," a section discovery of objects via "geosearch," and an exploration of the discovery and presentation of geo-referenced images (e.g. historic maps). There will be open discussion on other approaches to map-based discovery. Emphasis will be placed on simplicity of workflow and implementation. Technologies include: Atom, Django, Solr, and OpenLayers. <br />
