===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===
'''Full Day'''
Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian] and Coral Sheldon-Hess coral @ sheldon-hess dot org | [http://twitter.com/web_kunoichi @web_kunoichi]
'''Pre-reading and notes'''
[http://bit.ly/c4lLTG http://bit.ly/c4lLTG]
'''Description'''
Librarianship is largely made up of women, yet women are significantly underrepresented in tech positions, on any level, within libraries themselves. Why? What are we doing to encourage women to become more involved in STEM within librarianship? What kind of message are we sending when library technology keynotes remain almost resolutely male? How are we changing the face of technology, not only within libraries, but with the field itself? How are we training our staff and colleagues in the areas of fairness and removal of bias? Our vendors?
Lots of tough questions.
While the conversation has been going on via various blogs and articles within the last few years, it was given a public face at [http://infotoday.com/il2013/day.asp?day=Monday#session_D105 Internet Librarian 2013] where a panel of 7 (four women, three men) gave personal experiences on the above and then opened up the conversation to the audience. As eye opening and enriching the conversation was, a 45 minute panel was not enough. One thing remains clear: We need to keep the conversation moving forward and start making some radical changes in the way we think, act, and how we need to harness this to start making real changes within librarianship itself.
Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more
Those attending should expect: Begin with opening up the conversation of experiences and talking about what is most needed, spending remaining time putting together live, usable solutions to start implementing as well as pushing the conversation forward at local levels

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu
The FileAnalyzer (http://georgetown-university-libraries.github.io/File-Analyzer/) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:
* validating digitized and reformatted files
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest
* manipulating ILS import and export files
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.
The first half of this session will be targeted to potential users and developers. The second half of the session will be targeted towards developers who are interested in developing custom rules for the application.

''Session Overview''
* Overview of the application
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application
* Compiling and building the application
* Coding a custom file processing task

===Collecting social media data with Social Feed Manager===
'''Half-Day [Morning]'''
Contacts:
* Dan Chudnov, GW Libraries, dchud (at) gwu.edu
* Dan Kerchner, GW Libraries, kerchner (at) gwu.edu
* Laura Wrubel, GW Libraries, lwrubel (at) gwu.edu
Social media data is a popular material for research and a new format for building collections. What does it take to collect meaningfully from Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, Weibo, Facebook, and other sites? We will:
* Introduce options for collections, including both high- and low-end commercial offerings. Discuss what it means to collect these resources, covering boundaries, policies, and workflows required to develop a social media collection program in your institution.
* Explore the Twitter API in depth, with hands-on opportunities for those w/laptops and others who want to team up w/them
* Help you get started using the free [http://gwu-libraries.github.io/social-feed-manager Social Feed Manager] (SFM) app we're developing at GW to create your first collections. We’ll demo its use and demo a clean install (those w/environments can follow along)

===Obey the Testing Goat!: Test Driven Web Development From The Ground Up===
'''Half-Day [tbd - probably afternoon]'''
* Contact [[User:Mredar|Mark Redar]], mredar[at]gmail.com
Test driven development is a proven method for producing better quality code. But I've found it hard to follow a strict TDD methodology when starting new web projects. How do you write that first test when there is no code or web pages created yet.
In this session, we will follow the excellent book [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029533.do "Test-Driven Web Development with Python"] to create a simple web site in Django following TDD from the first character typed. Come ready to code and test. No prior knowledge of python or Django required.
By the end of this session, you should be able to [http://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/ "Obey the Testing Goat"] from the start to finish for your next project.
'''Link Dump'''
[http://twoscoopspress.org/collections/everything "Two Scoops of Django"] was mentioned by Birkin and another gentleman (thanks!) as being a great source for best practices with Django. There is a lot of decision making in regards to project layout and such in Django, and this is a really good guide for this aspect of development in Django.
[http://twill.idyll.org/ "twill - simple http scripting"] - twill is a great, easy and quick tool for testing basic http responses from your server. We use it to do continue integration testing from a cron job. Really handy...
[https://travis-ci.org/ "Travis CI"] - continuous integration server as a service. A lot easier than setting up a jenkins server, and free for public github repos. Also, fun to watch!!!
[http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage/ "coverage.py"] - code coverage tool, see if your tests hit all of your code lines.
[http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/ "virtualenv -- use it!]

===Summon Hackfest ===
Presenter: Eddie Newwirth and presenters from Summon libraries
Contact: Scott Schuetze (first DOT last @ serialssolutions. com)
The Summon Hackfest (10:30am-12pm) will be a great opportunity for libraries using the Summon service to talk about improving discovery of resources, share their creative customizations and code, and exchange ideas about ways they can leverage the Summon API to better meet the needs of their users.
The Summon Hackfest is open to all libraries currently using ProQuest discovery and management services (Intota, Summon, Ulrich’s or the 360 suite of services), whether they are attending Code4Lib or are just in the area.
