Thank you very much to everyone who responded both on and off list! This is lovely. And exactly the sort of information I was interested in getting. Thanks again for your time and kindness.

I've done some searching and found some cool things but I feel like there has to be way more - even just bits n whatnots that may work with particular library systems. (It can be hard to search github for this because of the IT use of the term library/libraries) I ask because: a. There might be something out there that I don't know about that might be great for us to implement (like, Guide on the Side which looks awesome) b.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Drupal 7, Views/Fields, Panels and Calendars
Hi Rob, Yes, you are limited in the behavior you can apply when using multiple field settings in views. You are probably going to want to play with two different approaches: 1) Perhaps you could Group By date for your web-calendar view. For details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp2SPiwA2Qg 2) You could also split out your content types so you have a Time-block content type and use Entity References to pull other content types' data in, such as Screenings or Classes. Then your web-calendar view would query the Time-block content type and populate your calendar as expected. -Shaun On 2/23/15 2:08 PM, Rob Dumas wrote: Right now, my partner and I are building a site for a local arts education group using a design started (but left unfinished) by someone else.

I can pull in the Class Sessions, but they only show on their first date, they show all of the dates on that one entry... and I can't seem to pull in the Screenings at all.

We're voting on the content of the proposals given. I don't think anyone really believes everything is set in stone for anything except that there are 2 very dedicated groups willing to put on a conference in their respective cities. There are probably more people voting for one or the other based on $$$ and transportation than multi/single track. It's not really about the minutia of the conference, it's the locations themselves.

My concern though is that we'd be voting on too many different aspects of the conference itself simultaneously and some of it unknown and subject to change in any case. Being on the LA proposal group, I don't think we committed to a single track, especially since Josh offered other options here on this list.

[CODE4LIB] Drupal 7, Views/Fields, Panels and Calendars
Right now, my partner and I are building a site for a local arts education group using a design started (but left unfinished) by someone else. The site is built using Drupal 7 with Views/Fields/Panels. There are a few content types used in the site: ## Screenings A Screening has a number of Fields such as *Director*, *Description*, *Featured Image*, etc. It also contains a Field Collection called Screening Dates, which allows the editor to attach multiple datetime/location/tickets-url sets. ## Classes and Class Sessions A Class is a general content type which contains general info about a course: *Title*, *Description*, *Tuition*, *Instructor*, etc. A Class Session asks the editor to select a Class (or fill in a field for one-off sessions) and includes fields for *Registration URL* and *Class Dates* (multiple entries allowed). ## Where We're Stuck The client wants a Calendar which lists all of the Screenings and Class Sessions. I can pull in the Class Sessions, but they only show on their first date, they show all of the dates on that one entry... and I can't seem to pull in the Screenings at all. Screenshots can be found in [this imgur album](http://imgur.com/a/fwUv8).

Re: [CODE4LIB] Vote for Code4lib 2016 location
Even though Code4Lib is single-track, I readily admit: I do not see all of the presentations as they're happening. (I talk to people, I nap, I do the introvert thing and hide with a cup of tea, or whatever.) I know I'm not the only one. And I do go back to YouTube and watch some of the ones I missed, but I also zoom-forward through the ones that are less interesting to me. So I think we've got more self-selection happening, already, than we let on. Aren't we still pretty committed to recording all of the talks (with permission), whether we stay single-track or move to multi-track, or do some hybrid? I agree with the calls to be respectful and kind to both of the proposing committees, who have put in a bunch of work and are both clearly willing to put in a bunch more. The best way to express our opinions is by voting in the poll: http://vote.code4lib.org/election/37, but the second-best way is politely, respectfully, and with some serious thought as to how they might sound to someone whose hard work and thinking we're potentially dismissing. Re-read your messages from the perspective of both hosting committees before you send them, please! (This probably requires reading both of the proposal documents, by the way. :)) - Coral On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 2:36 PM, Salazar, Christina christina.sala...@csuci.edu wrote: What Josh said: In a multi-track, you are forced to choose and never get to see what is going on in the areas that you've been forced to opt out of.

I do think someone from Philly needs to answer the original question: can they put on a single track conference if that's what the community wants. It will make a difference it seems, in the vote. Then if BOTH LA and Philly can do single track (or multitrack or some other permutation) we can vote on each city as equals.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Vote for Code4lib 2016 location
There are definitely amazing points in both proposals. Either way it goes C4L is going to be awesome in 2016. Everyone has a different motivation on voting, and think we should keep that in mind. Two years running on the west coast might be more than some can afford. Some may have personal reasons for preferring LA (or can't afford to travel east). Other people may feel super strongly about the Philly beer selection. Or have personal ties to the locations that may be used in LA. On the subject of single vs multi-track, I'd say that I would have *loved* a break from the way-over-my-head-and-super-technical single track just for an hour or 2. But that doesn't mean it *should* be that way - I think it could vary from year to year based on proposals. There's no reason not to have a single-track year followed my a hybrid followed by a single-track year. That's one of the beauties of C4L.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Vote for Code4lib 2016 location
Hi All, Couple of notes on the proposal for multi-track. 1) It ain't set in stone. Much of whether or not it would happen really depends on logistics of the space, the extra costs involved, community feedback. Right now I'd say community feedback we have heard is pretty evenly split. As a commitee we have already been reflecting on the response to multi-track so far and know that we would really need to weigh out the possible benefits (more content from more presenters) against possible drawbacks (creating silos). I also think this is an opportunity to elicit more feedback from the community about what type of content isn't at code4lib that should/could be. 2) I don't think multi-track can only be divided into Tech and non-Tech slots. Other groupings could include may be Linked Data focused, Repository focused, Public Library focused, etc. Again, those are how we would necessarily think about tracks, *if they happen* just ideas, and we'd be plenty open to other suggestions from the community. Also about Philly weather: For our colleagues in New England, the upper Midwest and the Rocky Mountain region, Philly's weather is going to feel downright balmy. :) Best, Chad On Mon Feb 23 2015 at 2:10:05 PM Riley Childs rchi...@cucawarriors.com wrote: I agree, the appeal of code4lib is the single track.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Vote for Code4lib 2016 location
Having recently read both proposals, my only concern is that SLA is in Philadelphia in 2016. I like traveling east, but twice to Philadelphia within 6 months of each other is a bit much for me. I realize not everyone is in SLA, or coming from the west, just wanted to point it out. I do like the multi-track idea, and do appreciate an organization spreading annual conferences around the country. Perhaps 2016 just isn't my year (which is fine, too). .m On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 11:50 AM, Sarah Shealy sarah.she...@outlook.com wrote: There are definitely amazing points in both proposals.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Vote for Code4lib 2016 location
An aside but on the topic of selecting locations: I think it's worth considering where the conference has been recently when selecting the next year's location. It gives people from all over the country a chance to attend C4L and become part of our community if the annual conference jumps around. While I haven't read both proposals or decided which I'll vote for, it would be great to return East to Philly rather than have it on the West Coast again, and then the year after look towards a non-coastal spot. I say this even being in California and very much valuing cheaper and shorter flights. I know I expressed my desire for a West Coast = East Coast = Middle America rhythm to conference locations to a few people in Portland. Just reiterating here for the list's sake.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Vote for Code4lib 2016 location
My reasons for preferring LA are purely personal and #theweatheristoodamncold, and I'm optimistic that I can make it to either location this year after several years away. But the most valuable sessions for me at C4LConf for me have been the BOF/breakout sessions. This is very different from multitrack presentations. Breaking into small groups is often really valuable; breakout *presentations* rarely so. In a smaller group, people feel more comfortable asking stupid questions, which are usually the questions everyone else has. Eric

The list features almost 300 OS tools that are relevant for the digital cultural heritage/digital humanities sector. Currently I am the only one actively managing the list. As you could imagine, staying up-to-date with new releases and new additions is quite difficult. So feel free to browse around the inventory, if you see some of your own work on there and it needs updating feel free to tell me! If some of your favorite tools aren't on the list feel free to send me links to their github and I will add them. Thanks everyone and I look forward to your contributions.

[CODE4LIB] Code4LibCon - cost
We need to separate this from the location topic, as well. I strongly feel that we need to dedicate more resources to scholarships and stipends. I honestly believe that we should be offering a mix of 25-50 scholarships and stipends, and I would happily pay an extra $40-50 if it would help that to happen. It would also help to have more folks working on raising money. Francis and the scholarship committee did yeoman work this year, but it needs to be a larger effort. Cary
[CODE4LIB] Python PyMARC Code Club
For those who attended the conference in Portland there was a talk by Coral Sheldon-Hess where she introduced the idea of a Code Club. If you didn't see it check out the talk's slides and description at:http://code4lib.org/conference/2015/sheldon-hess.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Drupal 7, Views/Fields, Panels and Calendars
Hi Rob, I took the liberty of copying this to the Drupal4lib list, which is probably the best place for it. A lot depends on how the fields are stored. In Drupal 7, field reuse is very important. If all of your *Description* have the same machine name, say field_description, then there will be a discrete table for that field and creating a view is pretty straightforward. It there is a field_screening_description and a field_class_description, then your view (a query) will be more complex. This is not to say that building it is that much harder, just that the tricky part is combining the fields. Again, with the caveat is that I know almost nothing about your site, for a calendar-centric site as this appears to be, my inclination is to have a date (or event, etc.) content type along with content types for the types of events, like screenings or classes. I would likely take it a step further and create a type for course, as well, assuming that there is more than one class per course. I would pull these together using node relationships. The structure is a bit more intricate, but pulling reports like calendars becomes easier and more reliable. For a major site, I forgo node content types in favor of entities.

The site is built using Drupal 7 with Views/Fields/Panels. There are a few content types used in the site: ## Screenings A Screening has a number of Fields such as *Director*, *Description*, *Featured Image*, etc. It also contains a Field Collection called Screening Dates, which allows the editor to attach multiple datetime/location/tickets-url sets. ## Classes and Class Sessions A Class is a general content type which contains general info about a course: *Title*, *Description*, *Tuition*, *Instructor*, etc. A Class Session asks the editor to select a Class (or fill in a field for one-off sessions) and includes fields for *Registration URL* and *Class Dates* (multiple entries allowed). ## Where We're Stuck The client wants a Calendar which lists all of the Screenings and Class Sessions. I can pull in the Class Sessions, but they only show on their first date, they show all of the dates on that one entry... and I can't seem to pull in the Screenings at all.

[CODE4LIB] Code4lib 2016 - tracks
We need to separate this from the location topic. I don’t think that anything is set in stone. That said, I appreciate the single track nature of Code4LibCon, and it is what has driven me to attend over the last 8 years. I can and do go to several conferences that have tracks specific to my work. I go to Code4LibCon to learn things I don’t know about, often things I have never heard of. Over that past couple years, there has also been a growing mix of tech and social tech issues, and the latter have taught me a lot about me as well, and are driving me — too slowly perhaps — to action (or is that proaction). I never fail to learn something new, and that is what makes it worthwhile. If Code4LibCon changes, I will be disappointed, but I will still go. Cary

Re: [CODE4LIB] Inventory of Free, Libre, Open Source Software
Thanks to Joe Montibello for mentioning FOSS4Lib.orghttp://FOSS4Lib.org earlier in this thread. I was the PI on the grant that created and augmented FOSS4Lib under funding from the Mellon Foundation over the past couple of years. I was not aware of the EuropeanaTech FLOSS inventory, and there does seem to be some overlap in approaches. FOSS4Lib is open to editing by anyone. Just create an account using the link on the right sidebar. (There is a slight delay when I approve accounts to be created.) Over the past year we've added a few features to this site working with Galecia Group. One is moving the Open Source ILS feature comparison tool to FOSS4Lib (http://ils.foss4lib.org/). Galecia Group is currently making this tool more general so we can set up comparisons of any type of software. More on that in the next few months. Secondly, we've added linkages to data at OpenHub.nethttp://OpenHub.net (formerly OHLOH) for a projects code metrics. One of the distinctions I'd like to add to FOSS4Lib is that of Application versus Toolkit. Islandora is an application, and it uses Open Seadragon as a component (among many others), but right now they are reflected in the FOSS4Lib package registry as peers. It would be useful to limit searches and browses to just one or the other. Every other month I give a one hour overview of the content on FOSS4Lib and how cultural heritage organizations can use it to make decisions about if and which open source software is right for them. The next one is March 31st -- more details at http://foss4lib.org/content/free-webinars-introducing-foss4lib The FOSS4Lib site is based in Drupal with custom content types and code developed under the grant by the Cherry Hill Company. It has always been our intention to open source the code so others can build on the work, but other work has always gotten in the way. If there is interest, I'll open up the code on GitHub.
