'''Code4Lib Logo Design Briefing and Requirements'''
There are many ways to participate. Code4Lib offers a web site, a wiki, a chatroom, a mailing list, an RSS aggregation service, a journal, and a conference.
Key themes to consider include software, technology, libraries, librarians, participation, openness, and collaboration. The group is very technically-inclined and savvy about writing, debugging, and deploying software. At the same time, the group has a playful attitude and has fun while doing the serious work that it takes seriously.
''Logo requirements:''
* It must adapt well to electronic and printed media, to reproduction on small surfaces, and to use in color, both in positive and in negative form.
* It must be free of any copyright or other intellectual property claims.
