Location:
- 1280 Main St. West, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario - (map)

Accommodation
Our helpful folks in Research Collections put this guide together a while back.
Parking, Campus Map, Public Transit
- Parking - I understand we have the most expensive parking in OCUL. I'm sorry :(
- Campus map - we are building #10 - Mills Memorial Library
- Public Transit
- HSR buses that come to campus are: 1, 51, 5c, 52, and 10 - The 10 and 52 drop off by the hospital, the others drop off right outside Mills.
Cost
Keep with tradition set last year - No cost and McMaster University has tentatively agreed to provided coffee, lunch, space, and wireless.
Format
Day 1:
- Hackfest (send problems/proposals to John Fink and Nick Ruest)
Day 2
- 5-minute lighting talks
- 20-minute talks
- BOAF/breakouts
20-minute talks
I'd like to start a new tradition with Code4Lib North and deposit the slides and *maybe* recordings of the presentations in our IR. If people are cool with this, I can get it all setup prior to the event.

Code4lib North Pub Night Meetup in Ottawa, Ontario
- Dates: Either Friday the 17th or Saturday the 18th of September, 2010

- The Exchange Pub Rideau and Sussex St.
- D'Arcy McGee's Sparks st. and Elgin St.

Laptops, demos, problems, topics of discussion welcome!
Purpose: To connect with other code4libers in the area and start building a strong code4lib community North of the border. Or for me (selfishly) to meet other cool people who may have gone to the first meeting ;)

Thanks! --Bethmaru 20:08, 5 August 2010 (PDT)
UPDATE: There hasn't been any activity on this second meeting proposal and the date is coming up quite swiftly. I'm still interested in meeting people and building this community, however I'm going to put this on hold for the time being. Let me know via the discussion page if you're at all interested. --Bethmaru 18:53, 8 September 2010 (PDT)
