We hope to include at least one local person on each committee.
Note that committees are listed in alphabetical order.
== Book Give-Away Committee ==
This committee solicits books and other prizes to be given away in raffles during the conference. This committee is responsible for identifying some means of performing the actual raffle (aka, a random picker app or other tool for selecting winners). Drawing names out of a hat could be low-tech entertaining.
== Keynote Speakers Committee ==
This committee plans who to invite for the keynote speakers. They gather possibilities (including soliciting from the community), organize voting, and work with the speakers to arrange their travel.
== Onsite Volunteer Committee ==
This committee solicits volunteers to do whatever tasks are needed in person at the conference.
== Program Committee ==
This committee works with funding institutions to arrange the scholarships offered. They solicit submissions and select winners of the scholarship(s). They also work with the winners to plan their travel and arrangements.
== Social Activities Committee ==
The committee plans, proposes, and organizes the evening activities.
== Sponsorships Committee ==
This committee organizes the sponsorship activities. For 2014, this responsibility will include evaluating new levels of sponsorship that provide new types of benefits to sponsors (ex: vendor tables in the conference area, handouts / flyers, etc.). Usually it includes people within the Code4Lib community who think their institution or company might be interested in sponsoring the conference. These folks may not be the decision makers at the sponsors, but they are Code4Lib's contacts.
== Streaming Video Committee ==
This committee is responsible for working with local hosts to figure out what resources are available to enable video / streaming video for the conference.
== T-Shirt Committee ==
This committee organizes the t-shirt contest, collecting submissions, and putting out the call for votes. This committee is also responsible for helping the local planning committee identify a vendor that will fit within the budget constraints for the conference.
== Voting Activities Committee ==
This committee organizes the voting process and works with the other committees that involve voting (keynote, program, T-shirt) to ensure a relatively smooth process.
== Whatever Committee == This committee does whatever the organizers can't talk anyone else into doing. ==Wifi / Electrical / IRC Committee==
This committee is responsible for working with local planners to ensure that wifi will be able to support the needs of the code4lib community, figuring out how much electrical will be needed and ensuring it is available, and making sure that the IRC will run smoothly at the conference. These folks may be called on during the conference to help CONCENTRA remedy problems that occur.
This is a newly proposed committee.
