=== CURATEcamp Hackfest ===
* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? Interested in digital curation? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest? See Roy Tennant's [http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA332564.html "Where Librarians Go To Hack"] and the page for the [http://access2010.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3 Access 2010 Hackfest]. I propose a full-day hackfest with a focus on the domains of digital curation, preservation, and repositories -- think stuff like CDL's microservices, Hydra, Fedora, etc. Here's how it works, roughly: we assemble in the morning and do some whiteboarding, mostly to gauge folks' interests and jot down project ideas; then we separate into teams and hack on stuff for the rest of the day and present our progress at the end. Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! (Wiki space will be made in advance of the hackfest so participants Participants may begin kicking around ideas[[2011 CURATEcamp Hackfest Ideas]].)
* Duration: full-day
* Speaker Bio: Facilitators of the CURATEcamp Hackfest will be:
** Jason Fowler - Programmer Analyst, UBC Library Systems
* Contact: Mike Giarlo (michael at psu.edu)

==Half Day Morning==
=== Intro to Functional Programming with JavaScript (and a little Haskell) ===
* [http://www.slideshare.net/willkurt/intro-to-functional-programming-workshop-code4lib Slides]
* [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5373312/Code4libFPfinaldoc.pdf Workbook]
 
* Description: Functional programming is a topic that is becoming increasingly important for programmers to be aware of. Unfortunately it also has the reputation of being an area of programming that is particularly difficult and academic. Languages like Haskell, while being very powerful, certainly live up to this reputation. However many of the essential features of functional programming can be explored through a language as simple and commonplace as JavaScript.
* Speaker Bio: Will Kurt is the Applications Development Librarian at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he is also working on a master’s in Computer Science. He has spoken at several library conferences including Computers in Libraries and Internet Librarian on topics including the Microsoft Surface and Visualizing Information.

=== Running cloud Servers ===
=== VIVO BootCampBoot Camp===
Description: VIVO is an open source semantic web application originally developed and implemented at Cornell University. When installed and populated with researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments, it enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at that institution. VIVO supports browsing and a search function which returns faceted results for rapid retrieval of desired information and includes options for RDF linked data distribution.
This bootcamp boot camp will be run by members of the NIH/NCRR funded VIVO network and will focus on four components including, a an overview of what VIVO is and how it can help researchers, an installation walk-through, how VIVO faculty works (its ontology, visualization functionality, and user interface), and future directions for the project (e.g. profile data re-use (web services for linked data queries to populate content management and profile systems in CMSs such as Drupal and Joomla!), the VIVO core ontologyfederated search, and a separate discussion session on the needs libraries have for faculty expertise systems and their value for institutional repositoriesetc.).
