There are four parts to SPLURGE: data cleanup, getting it into a properly configured database, a web service that talks to the database, some Javascript that can dropped into a catalogue to talk to the web service. They all exist, but not all of them are quite done and they don't all talk to each other. The purpose of this hackfest project would be for people to familiarize themselves with the work that's been done, and then try to finish it up.

Code4lib North attendees can enjoy a 10% discount when traveling with VIA Rail. Use the information below when booking your tickets. Please note that VIA Rail has no service to Hamilton, attendees will need to transfer to GO Transit in Aldershot, Oakville or Toronto. The discount only applies to the portion of the trip operated by VIA Rail. GO Transit does not offer conference discounts :( If you have a Presto card, you can use it to pay for your GO Transit fare.
Code4Lib North would like to thank McMaster University for providing space for this meeting.
The first meetup was a simple social meetup on June 21, 2012. The idea is that other meetups will have presentations/talks to be had either before or during.
