<div>= Code4Lib 2014 Committees =<br />
<br />
If you are interested in helping out with a particular part of the Code4Lib 2014 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (called 'committees' for lack of a better term). Each committee should select a committee lead that will coordinate the activities of the committee and its work with the hosting site. Discussions of a non-sensitive nature should take place on the Code4LibCon mailing list for transparency and future reference. Please feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees.<br />
<br />
We hope to include at least one local person on each committee.<br />
<br />
A Code4Lib 2014 Google Calendar is available with all proposed deadlines if you would like to add it to your personal calendar. It has been shared with code4libcon and code4lib2014 google groups.<br />
<br />
The Code42014 Conference Committee meets bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 11am EDT. If you would like to join the calls or have an agenda item, email one or both of the co-Leads: Emily Lynema (NCSU) and Tim McGeary (UNC).<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 />
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight<br />
** wdenton: any night, either drink or flight<br />
** beatricep: sunday/monday drink, highly susceptible to flight by peer pressure..<br />
** ryan hess: sunday/monday drink or flight<br />
** infosoph: sunday/monday yes/yes!!<br />
** [[User:Pfeeley|Pfeeley]]: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drink or flight<br />

** [[User:schwartzray|schwartzray]]: anything on any day<br />
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.<br />
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 11.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.<br />
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday. There seems to be enough interest here to actually have a group, when and where should we meet? I added my email so that we could discuss details off the wiki.<br />
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.<br />
** pgrayove at gmail dot com: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.<br />
** ranti: And I am. <br />
** tshearerlib: Coming in at around the same time and hope to get to the museum by 1:00. Lunch first?<br />
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements. Target for arrival at bar: 7ish. Probably a group gathering to head north around 6:30 in hotel lobby (if you want to take the #8 Halsted bus that is).<br />

'''Directions to the library from UIC:'''<br />
<br />
''Bus''<br />
<br />
Take the #8 Halsted Bus north to Chicago (Bus will say "#8 Halsted/79th North to Broadway/Waveland")<br />
Take the #66 Chicago Bus west to California (Bus will say either "#66 Chicago west to Austin" or "#66 Chicago West to Pulaski." You can take either one because both Austin and Pulaski are further west than we are so both stop at California)<br />
The Chicago bus stops on the west side of California, which is the side of the street we're on. On California, walk a block north to Walton.<br />
<br />
''Train + Bus (slightly faster/more reliable, but only by about 5-10 minutes)''<br />
<br />
Walk to the UIC/Halsted Blue Line <br />
Take the O'Hare train (toward the Loop) and go all the way through the Loop and back west. Get off at Chicago and use the exit that says "North side of Chicago Ave" (or something similar — I don't remember exactly).<br />
Take the #66 Chicago Bus west to California (Bus will say either "#66 Chicago west to Austin" or "#66 Chicago West to Pulaski." You can take either one because both Austin and Pulaski are further west than we are so both stop at California)<br />

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.<br />
<br />
Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).<br />

=== Game Night! ===<br />
<br />
See the http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night page for the latest details and to sign up for individual games or add games you're willing to lead/teach!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:<br />
<br />
Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;). <br />
<br />
<br />
Rough Schedule:<br />
* 7:30 setup<br />
* 7:45 start playing games!<br />
* 10:00 start winding down (don't start new games)<br />
* 10:30 all done, turn off the lights<br />
<br />
* I highly recommend that people walk in groups to get back to their respective lodgings. I'll ask folks still around at the end to help me clean up so we can walk back to the conference hotel*<br />
<br />
Please bring your badge with. (You don't need to wear it on the way, but that'll help us make sure everyone in the room is supposed to be there.)<br />
<br />
We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm. <br />
<br />
(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)<br />
<br />
<br />
The original list of people who signed up is below.<br />
<br />
I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested in attending. Also not if you can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.<br />
<br />
(I've added some comments to the game lists below)<br />
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)<br />
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned... <br />
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.<br />
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc. <br />
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG <br />
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.) <br />
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG<br />
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.) <br />
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG<br />
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.<br />
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.<br />
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work! <br />
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G<br />
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir. <br />
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG<br />
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night. <br />
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G<br />
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.<br />
** No prob.<br />
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)<br />
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG<br />
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good. <br />
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G <br />
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.<br />
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G<br />
** mbutler: If someone actually brings Arkham Horror I'd throw down. Otherwise, whateve. <br />
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.<br />
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro? <br />
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G<br />
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set]. <br />
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG<br />
**Done! I will bring them both -- C<br />
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.<br />
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.<br />
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)<br />
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big... <br />
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG<br />
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.<br />
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!<br />
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG<br />
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty<br />
** I'm local and can bring a mahjong set. I've had no one to play with for years, so have probably forgotten how. -Linda B<br />
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang! <br />
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG<br />
**Aww no. left my games at the office. Looks like I'll have to jump in someone else's game.<br />
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.<br />
* kenirwin: interested in attending<br />
* sdellis: attending<br />
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!<br />
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.<br />
* jessebrown: Interested in attending. I can bring Set and Zombie Fluxx.<br />
* terrywbrady: I would like to attend<br />
* dan fehrenbach (dnfehren): I would like to attend, can bring Pandemic if anyone is interested.<br />
* dileshni: interested in attending. <br />
* Corey Harper: definitely interested in attending if space allows.<br />
* saverkamp: interested in attending.<br />
* Emily Shaw: I like games. <br />
* Alan Dyck: I play Carcassonne and Munchkin among others. I see those listed so I'm bringing a game some friends and I have been creating: Wandering Monster.<br />
* Heidi Frank (hf36@nyu.edu) - I love card games like gin/rummy, but am open to anything.<br />
* Sibyl Schaefer - attending, and will bring anything that fits in my carry-on<br />
* Gary Maixner - Joining. Have a copy of Savage Worlds for roleplaying if anyone's interested.<br />
* cpsarason - I'm up for whatever!<br />
<br />
-- *Please, please, please, if you're signing up on this list, also sign up for a paritcular game slot to start out the evening or put your game in: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_game_night<br />
we're having so many people sign up after Jan. 14th we're in risk of overflowing the room. (I should have put in a cap limit, but given how late I realized this, I haven't *<br />
<br />
I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.<br />

This will be a special tour for Code4Lib attendees, so please sign up below if you are interested, as I'll need to give the tour guide an estimate of how many people will come. Details on how to get to the Newberry will follow. Questions? Contact ballingerl at newberry dot org<br />
<br />
'''''Directions: '''''<br />
The Newberry is at 60 W Walton St. It could take half an hour to get there from the conference hotel via CTA, so those of you who wish to take public transit as a group can meet me in the hotel lobby by 3:00. We will then go to the UIC-Halsted El stop (5 blocks from hotel), change trains in the Loop, then walk 3-4 blocks to the Newberry. Otherwise, plan on making your preferred way there and meet in the Newberry lobby by 3:30.<br />

===Drupal4lib Sub-con Barcamp===<br />
<br />
* Contact [[User:highermath|Cary Gordon]], cgordon@chillco.com or <br />
* [[User:cdmo|Charlie Morris]], NCSU Libraries, cdmorris@ncsu.edu<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 />

==Half Day Morning==<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/py360link 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 />

* Anyone else want to come and help folks? Contact Jason.<br />
<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 />
<br />
* Note: Attendees can follow up with the Intro to Blacklight afternoon session, which will be tailored for folks new to Ruby<br />

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

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

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

<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.<br />
