There are four parts to SPLURGE: data cleanup, getting it into a properly configured database, a web service that talks to the database, some Javascript that can dropped into a catalogue to talk to the web service. They all exist, but not all of them are quite done and they don't all talk to each other. The purpose of this hackfest project would be for people to familiarize themselves with the work that's been done, and then try to finish it up. === code4lib north organizational team ===*Mita Williams *Karen Pillon*Peter Zimmerman*Jennifer Soutter*Cathy Maskell*Ranti Junus (Michigan State) === hashtag and twitter list ===*c4ln2012*c4ln*https://twitter.com/#!/copystar/c4ln == Second Meeting: McMaster University, May 5-6, 2011 == === Sign Up ===We can handle a maximum of 50 people and you can signup here: http://c4ln2011.eventbrite.com/. === When and Where ===Dates: May 5-6, 2011<br />Location: * 1280 Main St. West, [http://www.google.com/maps/place?cid=4151756913136304412&q=mcmaster+university+mills+memorial+library&hl=en&dtab=0&sll=43.260928,-79.91933&sspn=0.773056,1.227722&ie=UTF8&ll=43.647007,-80.532532&spn=0,0&z=10 McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario - ] (map)* Mills Memorial Library, [http://library.mcmaster.ca/lyons Lyons New Media Centre] (4th floor) === Accommodation === Our helpful folks in Research Collections put this [http://library.mcmaster.ca/archives/visiting guide] together a while back. === Parking, Campus Map, Public Transit ===* [http://parking.mcmaster.ca/ Parking] - I understand we have the most expensive parking in OCUL.
