* Apply to be a host== General Process ==
* Consider your action plan** Identify your venues for both the conference and the hotel (if different). This While this is critical, as you'll want to get some cost estimates from each. When we hosted in Corvallis, the campus provided the conference space at a low cost, and this made general chronology of running the conference much more affordable. When we hosted the conference in Portland, and held everything in a single hotel, we had it never hurts to acquire 2x plan ahead. Before hosting proposals for the amount of sponsorship than what appears to be normal.** Speaking of sponsorship, I believe we average around 20k per next year in sponsorships to help run the conference and keep the registration low. Factor this into your budget.** Also, when you get cost estimates, don't forget to include food costs.** WIRELESS: Always an issue it seems. If you are proposing to host the conference on a campussolicited, check with your IT folks about any additional costs. If you are looking at a hotel or other venue, make sure you talk to them about bandwidth and costs. IMHO, the two things that really need to be addressed each year are connectivity and food - everything else generally manages itself in terms can prepare some components of facilitiesyour proposal.*** make sure VPN Before your proposal is allowed** See if your institution has a conference planning services group or something similar - if it doesaccepted, then I highly recommend using them. They'll handle registration, budgeting, contracts, etc, and really make life easy.** Also consider using conference planning services from other entities. In 2013, Chicago used DLF services you can recruit volunteers to handle registrationserve on committees. In 2014particular, NC used CONCENTRA services for all contract negotiation, fiscal activities, registration, and other conference planning and management services.** Regarding conference hotel, you'll want it helps to make sure that there are blocks have at least a few initial people who will form the nucleus of rooms available - not usually too bad an issue in larger towns, but in some college or smaller towns, hotel rooms may be limited.*** prepare the hotel for deluge via web when announcement is made about hotel registration available. We overwhelmed the Seattle hotel in 2012** Remember, your institution is taking the risk of covering any costs not covered by registrations and sponsorships. To this point, I believe the conference has always ended up in the black, but there is always a chance it won't in a given year. Drafting a rough budget before submitting a proposal is criticalLocal Planning Committee (LPC).
* When the call for next year's host goes out, '''prepare a proposal'''
** See [[Successful Code4Lib Conference Proposals]] from prior years
** '''Identify venues''' for both the conference and the hotel (if different).
** '''Prepare cost estimates'''. The primary factors are:
*** Lodging (hotels) - see if hotels offer discounted room block quotes
*** Venues (conference, workshop, reception, other activities)
*** Catering
*** Wireless: If you are proposing to host the conference on a campus, check with your IT folks about any additional costs. If you look at a hotel or other venue, make sure you talk to them about bandwidth and costs.
*** Do you have organizational relationships which might ensure extra sponsorships? If so, factor in that this might reduce the registration cost. For instance, when we were at the Library of Congress in 2018, they were also [https://2018.code4lib.org/sponsors/ our largest sponsor].
*** You can reference data from previous years to estimate minimums and maximums.
** '''Use our conference planner (CONCENTRA)'''
*** Since 2014 in NC, Code4lib has contracted with [https://www.concentra-cms.com CONCENTRA] to help manage and plan the conference. Their expertise is invaluable. You can ask them questions while preparing your proposal. CONCENTRA knows Code4Lib and our unique structure and well as how to plan various aspects of conferences (hotel room block, catering, bus to reception, etc.). Look for Jennifer Cummings in Slack or use their site's contact link.
*** See if your institution has a conference planning services group or something similar - if so, they can also be very helpful and will know more about campus spaces and costs (e.g. if there are free rooms to use for pre-conferences).
* Get approved by the community and start planning
** Receive access to the Code4Lib Conference Drive folders with information from prior years
** Construct a planning timeline (see templates in Drive)
** Find a hotel, negotiate and sign a contract with them. CONCENTRA does this but this [[Sample RFI]] is still a useful reference; '''note the WiFi requirements'''
** Put out a call for committee volunteers (on the listserv, in Slack)
* '''Put on an amazing conference!''' If you get this far, you have survived the worst part.
* The final duties of LPC are putting out the call for next year's proposals and writing up reflections.

Code4Lib has been hosted on university campuses and also located purely in hotels. Campus facilities tend to be more affordable, but housing can be scattered and challenging. Hotels are more expensive but cohesive.
== Important Public Resources ==* Past calls for host sites: [http://code4libIf your campus or town has a conference center, that is a logical starting point.org/node/275 2010] - * [http://deweyLarge hotels are also an option.library.nd.edu/mailing-lists/code4lib/ Code4Lib listserv]* [http://groups.google.com/group/code4libcon Code4LibCon listserv]* Sponsorship info In recent years, the conference has been smaller (publica little over 200 attendees)* . If you are unsure how many attendees to plan for, look at [http://code4lib.org/logo/ Logos[Conference_Financial_History_At_A_Glance|historical attendance]* [http://code4lib] figures or ask in the code4libcon channel in Slack.org/content/templateIn general, 200-code4lib-20xx Template for the conference page on the main Code4Lib website] - This page 400 attendees is only visible to those who have a code4lib.org account. Once a host has been selected, please copy the template to a new page for that conference yeargood range.
== Important Private Resources ==* Code4LibCon-hostsite listserv* Budgets A couple of isolated rooms for the conference but away from previous years* Sponsorship info (the main space are important for both the Community Support Squad to hold private)discussions and to private a place of quiet respite for weary conference-goers.
==Gender Diversity & Minority Scholarship Committee= Workshops ===The scholarship committee is a self-selected group that manages the gender diversity & minority scholarships. Separate groups handle AngelFund and Code4LibJapan scholarships.
===Suggestions received===* Send Workshops have been held before and after the conference. They are referred to a wider bunch of listservs, including for national orgs (ALA/SLA/MLA/CLA) & relevant sections? & student chapteras "pre-conferences" or "post-conferences" in planning and publicity materials. There should be space to facilitate 10-20 workshops. It is helpful if they can be located in the same building but not necessary.
===Process===# Put out These can be class or meeting rooms but should have a call# Receive projector and coordinate applications# Distribute applications to the committee# Select awardees# Inform selected candidates# Notify unsuccessful candidates# Announce to Code4Lib main listserv and post on code4lib.org (e.g. http://code4lib.org/node/274 )# Hosts work with awardees on reimbursement, registration, etcideally a whiteboard.# Follow up with awardees after the conference -- receive report, ask Electricity for suggestions, etcattendees is also important.
== Program Committtee= Reception ===The program committee is a self-selected group that manages talk proposals and other aspects of the program.The process works something like this:
# Draft the call for proposals (searching the mailing list archives should provide some good templates) and send it outA nice reception venue can be appealing to many attendees.# People put their proposals on In the Code4Lib wiki (see the [[2013 talks proposals]] page as a template)#* One idea that's been thrown around past, we have gone to help diversity is for people to self-identify as female/minority/first-timer/first-time presentermuseums, etclibraries, and more fun venues. (see the Guidelines below)# After the proposal period endsIf Philadelphia, contact Ross Singer (rsinger) we went to get voting set upThe Mütter Museum. In D.C.# After the voting closes, we talk about where went to place the dividing line between accepted and declined proposalsLibrary of Congress. There is a bit of negotiation between us and the host committee on scheduling depending on how many talks In Michigan, we want went to accept and any scheduling juggling that is required"fowling" (football bowling).
===Program Voting===Pre-conf voting may need A nice reception at a separate location is not strictly necessary. It might be possible to take place if there are more proposals than spacesdo catering at the conference venue in the evening, for instance.
Based on past discussions (such as the [http://serials.infomotions.com/code4lib/archive/2011/201111/thread.html pandering votes thread]), for next year, consider a notification for voters 'brieflyexplaining how the ballot works and to reiterate the voting criteria that's on the proposal page.=== Transportation ===
There has also been discussions about whether voting should be done without names, but it was inconclusive as there are pros and cons Consider how folks coming into town will get to eachtheir lodging.Is the airport far? Are there free shuttles? Is it possible to get there via a major railway?
If possiblelodging and the venue are separate, it has been suggested that talks be grouped by topic so how will attendees get to the conference venue? Are there is more consideration by people on giving too many votes shuttles? If we need to purchase a single topic.bus, how much will it cost?
===Guidelines===For 2014Most years, you may want we pay for a bus to make this a bit more clear on the talk proposals pagereception venue, but this is what the community agreed on through mailing list discussion:* Max 2 presenters per talk (this should be checked at the proposal stage)* Max 1 talk per person* (at least) 15% talks as it tends to be decided by the program committee with "diversity" in minda different location. Diversity may be any of these (not an exhaustive list):** first-time presenter (should be major consideration)** gender** visible minority** technology/tool
Based on [http://serials.infomotions.com/code4lib/archive/2012/201211/thread.html Proposed Changes thread].=== Local Appeal ===
Based on Successful proposals in the comments from the 2013 feedbackpast included local spots that attendees will be interested in: cultural institutions, tourist attractions, the program book stores, libraries, restaurants, and nightlife. The Social Activities committee may also consider proposing limiting the number of talks on plans around these venues. It is nice to have a particular topic or technology used nighttime location where Game Night can be held (e.g. Hydra, Solrwhich can be a workshop room) unless the next conference host proposes to turn the conference into a multi-track conference.
===Schedule===While always posted on the websiteThere is nothing wrong with doing a conference in a location we've been to before, consider putting it on lanyrd like or in 2013. Worked great of adding links a location that is close to sessionslast year's location. In the past, which can then be copied Code4Lib tended to bounce between the website if neededEast Coast, West Coast, and Midwest, but that is not a requirement and should not dissuade any location from submitting a proposal.
===Keynoter logistics=Committee List ==
See Each year we copy the prior year's list of committees (see [[Keynote Committee Duties:Category:Conference Committees]]) to a new wiki page.

==Planning =Talk Rejection Letter (sample)===<pre>I'm sorry, but your prepared talk proposal for the 2010 Code4Lib Conference in Asheville, NC did not receive enough votes to make it into the program. But here are a couple things you should know:
- The field of presentations was very large (probably the largest we have had so far) and very strong, so you should not take it too hard.- Please remember that there are many additional opportunities for participating, including lightning talks (open to anyone), breakout sessions (open to anyone to suggest and/or participate), and a special "Ask Anything" (or reply anything) open session. Also, the evening socializing opportunities are considered some of the most rewarding times of the event.=== Budgeting ===
Again, my condolences on not having your talk proposal accepted, but I hope we still see you in Asheville, NC in February.Roy</pre>* [[Conference_Financial_History_At_A_Glance]]
== Sponsorship Committee =Wireless ====Sample Sponsorship Request Letter===As you know, Code4Lib is a group of library technologists, programmers, system administrators, web designers, and librarians. Started in 2003, the group continues to grow--with a journal, a mailing list, and an active IRC channel. Since 2005, Code4Lib has sponsored an annual conference, which has attracted programmers and librarians from around the world.
Topics Historically, Code4Lib has had trouble with wifi bandwidth at past conferences have included library information systems, new directions in library research, semantic web applications, andinformation technology standards, among many othersvenues.

We're in the last few days before the conference begins, and for a good number of you, this will be your first code4lib. Here is some information to help you navigate through the conference craziness next week: - Social Activities<insert link to SA page>: There's a lot going on outside of the sessions, and this page has information about various gatherings, events, meals, etc. One activity I want to highlight is the Newcomer dinner<insert link to SA page> that will be on <insert date of dinner>. There are still a lot of great restaurants left on the list, and this is your chance to meet folks you might otherwise not get a chance to talk to at the conference. Read the guidelines on the wiki, and pick your restaurant. (Public service announcement: for those of you who have signed up for the dinner already, make sure that there's a designated leader for organizing reservations and people herding.) - Hospitality Suite: For some of the events listed on the Social Activities page, you will see the Hospitality Suite listed as a location. This is a place where attendees usually hang out outside of sessions (or taking a break from sessions). The location of the Suite is usually announced through various means, including the wiki, IRC and Twitter. - IRC/Twitter/etc.: Speaking of those channels, you'll find many folks using the #c4lXX hashtag for conference related stuff. The IRC channel<insert link to IRC page> is #code4lib, and there will be volunteers at the conference who would be more than happy to help you with IRC. - For my last item, give the following a read:<insert links to appropriate pages> -- How to hack code4lib -- CodeofConduct4lib -- Zoia, #code4lib's IRC bot If you have a question, ask! I'll be bringing in some badge ribbons for everyone to self-identify themselves as first timers and "old timers" as well, if you're into classification and stuff. ;-)=== Photography ===
Code4Lib uses different colored lanyards to articulate personal photography preferences.
* Green = it's ok to take my picture
* Yellow = please ask before taking my picture
* Red = don't take my picture
=== Freenode IRC connection Podium ===Historically, conference attendees have had trouble maintaining persistent connections to the #code4lib IRC channel. We'd always assumed we were overwhelming the conference facility's Internet connection, but we were actually running into Freenode's IP-based connection limits. Freenode is supportive of the IRC-as-backchannel model, however, and they're happy to work with organizers to raise the connection limit.
Contact the conference facility in advance and see if you can find out what your ''public IP address range'' will be during the conference. (If it starts with 10.*, 192.168.*, or 172.16.*, ask again -- those are "private" IP ranges used for connection sharing.)
Once you have the IP address or range, send an email to [mailto:ilines@freenode.net ilines@freenode.net] containing a request to raise the connection limit. Include conference info, IP range(s), and the expected number of connections. For example:
To: ilines@freenode.net
Hello,
I'm helping plan the code4lib 2010 conference, taking place in Asheville, NC next week.
Since our backchannel runs through #code4lib on Freenode, we're trying to plan ahead
to avoid running up against the connection limit. Would it be possible to raise the cap
for us during the conference? Details follow.
Conference: code4lib 2010 < http://code4lib.org/conference/2010/ >
Dates: February 22-26, 2010
Attendees: 250
Location: Renaissance Asheville Hotel, Asheville, NC
IP Ranges: 12.21.216.106 and the entire 12.21.217.0/24 block
We encourage in-channel participation, so we expect a high percentage of attendees to
be connected at once. We'll also have two or three channel bots connected from the
conference for the lobby monitors.
Please let me know if you need any further information, and thanks very much for
your help!
Michael
I received an automated reply with a ticket number almost instantly, but didn't hear back after that. I sent a quick followup early on the morning of the 22nd, and received a response (from a human) letting me know that it had been taken care of. (Follow-up, one year later: Same experience. Immediate automated reply, but with a need to follow up with Freenode staff in the #freenode channel to get the ticket resolved.)
Additional support is available from the helpful volunteer Freenode staff in the #freenode channel.
