Just a quick reminder that the next quarterly meetup of Code4lib-SoCal is in two weeks (March 5th), at the Getty Research Institute: http://www.meetup.com/Code4lib-SoCal/events/219653631/ Lunch will be provided!
We have a good slate of topics, but still have room for more talks. If you'd like to present something, let me know. Our morning docket: - Gary Thompson from UCLA will discuss integrating Aeon Paging for Special Collections and Archives materials into the catalog UI. - I will give an overview of using Karma to map datasets to ontologies. - Alexandra Ka Dolan-Mescal and Shannon Cronin from UC Riverside will give a quick presentation and kick off a lunch time discussion about "Librarians as Programmers - Librarians vs Programmers - Librarians and Programmers". Our afternoon docket: - We're going to try out a new peer review kind of session in which anyone can present a recent software design or idea for critique by the group. I will offer to be the guinea pig and go first with my design for a rebuild of the Getty Research Portal. We'll have plenty of time for more than one project, so please bring your own designs to present if you'd like a critique. - Somebody will give an intro to using Docker - If anyone has functioning brain cells by the end of the day, we'll have a fun coding challenge. Otherwise everyone can feel free to spend the rest of the day exploring the museum (I highly recommend the WWI exhibit in the GRI). - The c4l16 hosting committee will have a meeting at the close of the regular meetup. Please RSVP on the meetup site: http://www.meetup.com/Code4lib-SoCal/events/219653631/ I hope to see you there. -Josh Joshua Gomez | Sr. Software Engineer Getty Research Institute | Los Angeles, CA 310-440-7421
