Code4lib 2013 call for proposals.

We are now accepting proposals for Code4lib 2013.

Code4lib 2013 is a loosely-structured conference for library technologists to commune, gather/create/share ideas and software, be inspired, and forge collaborations. The conference will be held Monday February 11th (Preconference Day) - Thursday February 14th, 2013 in Chicago, IL. More information can be found at ##insert conference link##

Proposals can be submitted through Friday, October 26th, 5pm (PST). Voting will commence soon thereafter and be open through Friday, November 16th. The submitter (and if necessary a second presenter) will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference.

Proposals for preconferences are also open until October 26th, 5pm (PST). http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_preconference_proposals

We cannot accept every prepared talk proposal, but multiple lightning talk and breakout sessions will provide everyone who wishes to present with an opportunity to do so.
