Breakout/Hackathon Sessions @1:30-3:00

  • Up for debate: these are just some possible topics. We need four total.
  • If you have an idea, add it to the list! If we end up with more than four, we will conduct a straw poll to determine the most relevant/popular.
  • For inspiration, here is the list of pre-conference workshops at the last national Code4Lib


  1. Headless CMSs (Wordpress, Drupal)?
  2. Meteor.js tutorial?
  3. DocumentCloud?
  4. Metadata/data hackathon? - A discussion around tools and workflows for cleaning up messy data; bring your own data sets to work on if you like

3:15: more content, TBD (??)

  • What content do you want during this slot?

UIC Environs: Lunch and Parking

  • Lunch and parking map
  • Food options are mostly clustered in three places: Greektown (N of the freeway along Halsted), Taylor street (SW of campus), and University Village (S along Halsted).

Evening social

  • Join us at Jak's Tap at 5:00pm, for beer and further discussion!
    Jak's is within walking distance of UIC, a block or two north, across the freeway. Parking can be challenging up there, although meters are usually available on Jackson Blvd.

Getting to UIC

  • Public Transit: Take the Blue Line west from the Loop; get off at the UIC-Halsted stop. Walk south.
  • More information on visiting UIC, including (better) mass-transit directions
  • Parking in a UIC lot will cost $13 for a full day.
  • If you're driving, there are several parking lots available (marked on the above map); I recommend the one south of campus (1135 Morgan). Note that no streets connect Harrison with Taylor, including Morgan, between Racine and Halsted; to reach the south lot, come up Morgan from Roosevelt.

Circle Interchange difficulties

  • Circle Interchange (the confluence of I-90 and I-290 just NE of campus) construction is ongoing.
  • Construction is causing traffic havoc nearby, especially near the corner of Harrison and Halsted. The Harrison bridge over I-90 doesn't currently exist. Best to avoid this area if possible.
  • The Morgan street exit from I-290 has been closed for some time. According to IDOT:
    • Exiting access is prohibited from Westbound I-290/Congress Parkway
    • From Southbound I-90/94 - exit Adams Street
    • From Northbound I-90/94 - exit Ashland Avenue, backtrack east via Jackson Boulevard or Harrison Street
