Revision as of 13:41, 25 March 2011

Welcome to the home of the new Ontario/Canada chapter of Code4Lib. Our aim is to create more opportunities for Code4Lib folks in the Ontario/Quebec/Manitoba/Northeast USA area to meet up in person.

Mailing list

Want to participate in Code4Lib North meetups and receive "North"-oriented Code4Lib announcements? Join the code4lib mailing list. (The code4lib-north mailing list was discontinued.)

Second Meeting: McMaster University

Sign Up

We can handle a maximum of 50 people and you can signup here: http://c4ln2011.eventbrite.com/.

When and Where

Dates: May 5-6, 2011
Location:

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.

BOAF(Breakouts)

If we have enough time on the final day, we can devote an hour or two to people breaking out into birds of a feater groups.

Code4lib North Pub Night Meetup in Ottawa, Ontario

  • Dates: Either Friday the 17th or Saturday the 18th of September, 2010
  • Locations: I'm open to other suggestions, here are mine for the moment:
The Exchange Pub Rideau and Sussex St.
D'Arcy McGee's Sparks st. and Elgin St.
  • Time: 5-7

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 ;)

Comments/suggestions/interested in helping? Let me know via the discussion page.

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)
