The Code4Lib community is a group of computer programmers and library technologists who largely work for and with libraries. It started as a mailing list in the fall of 2003 when a group of library programmers decided to create an overarching community agnostic towards any particular language or technology. See this File:Code4lib-prelist.pdf. Soon after the mailing list was created the community decided to setup a channel on the Freenode network of IRC named #code4lib on freenode. .
