** '''Green''': the thing which made me most proud this week
+
** '''Orange''': the library technology I'm most excited about right now
+
** '''Pink''': the most annoying thing about my library's website
+
** '''Blue''': something I'd like to see at the next Chicago Code4Lib meetup
+
* Stick your post-it on the whiteboard in 1-470, ''close to another topic which you consider related''.  Please feel free to move other peoples' post-it notes around!
+
* Now do another one!  Do several!
+
* Talk amongst yourselves.
+
 
+
==Breakout/Hackathon Sessions==
+
* Up for debate: these are just some possible topics. We need four total.
+
* If you have an idea, add it to the list!  If we end up with more than four, we will conduct a straw poll to determine the most relevant/popular.
+
* For inspiration, [http://wiki.code4lib.org/2015_Preconference_Proposals here is the list of pre-conference workshops] at the last national Code4Lib
+
* Rooms are still in flux; they will depend upon interest.
+
<br />
+
===Meteor.js tutorial===
+
* In web dev circles, Meteor is the new hotness.  It lets you make single-page apps which synchronize automatically between clients/users and the cloud/server.  It also lets you kick out iOS and Android apps easily. It's pretty slick.
+
* Let's get a Meteor.js installation up and running.  [https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/blaze/creating-an-app We'll do this tutorial], at least as much as we can.  Be prepared for things not to work; let's figure them out together!
+
* No prior experience necessary, although familiarity with JavaScript will be useful.
+
* Macintosh/Linux only, unless you have experience using Cygwin on Windows.
+
* Allan Berry will lead (for better or worse)
+
 
+
===Metadata/data hackathon===
+
*A discussion around tools and workflows for cleaning up messy data; bring your own data sets to work on if you like.
+
* We will bring some metadata to share, but please bring your own if you have some!  Messier the better!
+
* Kate Flynn will lead.
+
 
+
===User Experience breakout===
+
* Card Sorts and Accessibility and WIreframes Oh My!
+
* Got some websites you want to analyze for good UI/UX?  Bring a list of URLs!
+
* Tara Wood will lead.
+
 
+
===???===

+
==Evening social==
+
* Join us at [http://jakstap.com/bar_and_grill_location_chicago_il.html Jak's Tap] at 5:00pm, for beer and further discussion!
+
*: Jak's is within walking distance of UIC, a block or two north, across the freeway.  Parking can be challenging up there, although meters are usually available on Jackson Blvd.
+
 
+
==UIC Environs: Lunch and Parking==
+
* '''[https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z2JOTakXueSk.kSv_bxAdo3Xc&usp=sharing Lunch and parking map]'''
+
* Food options are mostly clustered in three places: Greektown (N of the freeway along Halsted), Taylor street (SW of campus), and University Village (S along Halsted).
+
* There are several parking lots available (marked on the above map).
+
* Parking works like this:
+
** We have some 25 parking passes available for free parking: first come, first served.  Otherwise parking will cost $13 for a full day.
+
** Make sure you park in a UIC-branded lot with a person on duty.  When you enter, a machine will give you a ticket/receipt.
+
** Upon check-in at the Daley Library, I'll give you a sticker which you can attach to your receipt.
+
** At the end of the day, when you leave, hand this receipt/sticker to the attendant on duty.  They should just wave you through.
+
 
+
==Getting to UIC==
+
* Public Transit: Take the Blue Line west from the Loop; get off at the UIC-Halsted stop. Exit via Morgan Street (to your right as you exit the train).  Walk south. The library will be on the left after you cross Harrison Street (address: 801 S Morgan St).
+
* '''[https://www.uic.edu/about/visit-directions More information on visiting UIC]''', including (better) mass-transit directions
+
 
+
== Circle Interchange difficulties==
+
* Circle Interchange (the confluence of I-90 and I-290 just NE of campus) construction is ongoing.
+
* Construction is causing traffic havoc nearby, especially near the corner of Harrison and Halsted.  The Harrison bridge over I-90 doesn't currently exist.  Best to avoid this area if possible.
+
* The Morgan street exit from I-290 has been closed for some time.  [http://www.circleinterchange.org/under_construction/morgan_street.aspx According to IDOT]:
+
** Exiting access is prohibited from Westbound I-290/Congress Parkway
+
** From Southbound I-90/94 - exit Adams Street
+
** From Northbound I-90/94 - exit Ashland Avenue, backtrack east via Jackson Boulevard or Harrison Street
