[CODE4LIB] Registration Open: Code4Lib New York State (Aug. 4-5)

2016-06-01 Thread Christina Harlow
Hi all-

Registration is now open for the Code4lib New York State 
Meeting on August 4-5 at Mann Library, 
Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. You can register at this link: 
http://goo.gl/forms/jQNwoOiROug4DHCS2. Registration is free, but space is 
limited. Please let me know if you have any questions, issues, or have to 
change your registration later.

We hope you will take part in this meeting, which aims to be a great place to 
learn new skills, share ideas, and network with other library technologists 
from the region. The meeting is structured loosely around the “unconference” 
model, which encourages attendees to hold and run the activities, but with some 
workshops and talks planned in advance. You can see, propose, and comment on 
the schedule and breakout sessions here: 
http://code4libnys.github.io/2016/#sched

We are very excited to say that we will start out each with morning with 
workshops on Fedora 4, Introduction to CLI for Librarians, and a 
WriteTheDocs-style bootcamp. We have some fantastic community leaders teaching 
these workshops.

We will end out each day with invited talks from two fantastic and engaging 
members of our community: Patricia Hswe and Tara 
Robertson  Their talks will help wrap up each day’s 
activities, as well as give needed context and grounding to our broader library 
technology work.

[CODE4LIB] Registration now open: Software Preservation Network (SPN) Forum

2016-04-14 Thread Zach Vowell
Dear Colleagues,

Registration is now 
open for 
the Software Preservation Network (SPN) Forum! As you make your travel plans 
for the Society of American Archivists (SAA) Annual Meeting, don't miss this 
opportunity to participate in the emerging effort to establish a comprehensive 
software preservation strategy for cultural heritage institutions. Community 
participation will be key to a successful program.

There will be no registration fee, but space is limited!

The Forum will be held Monday, August 1st, 2016 on the Georgia State University 
Student Center in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. 
Participants can expect a lively, engaging, and informative program that the 
SPN team hopes will build consensus around next steps for preserving software 
at scale - all in the larger effort to ensure long-term access to digital 
objects.

The Forum theme, "Action Research: Empowering the Cultural Heritage Community 
and Mapping Out Next Steps for Software Preservation" reflects the mission of 
the Software Preservation Network (SPN) to solicit community input. The SPN 
project team believes that the practice of critical reflection around software 
preservation must incorporate members from complementary domains to actively 
participate in a coordinated effort to develop a sustainable, national strategy 
for proprietary software licensing and collection - pulling heavily from the 
collective, lived experience and expertise of researcher-practitioners in 
software development, law, archives, libraries, museums, and other domains.

Important Dates:
April 5: Registration opens
April 18: Notification of proposal acceptance
May 31: Registration closes

More information about the forum and registration is available on the Software 
Preservation Network website. 
Don't wait, register 
today!

Just wanted to provide a lodging update. The block we have at the Nassau
Inn is full. If you are interested in overnight lodging at the summit here
are a couple of options:

There are a couple of Airbnbs within walking distance of the university:

(The summit is at the corner of Nassau St and Washington Rd)

The Hilton Doubletree is a few miles outside of Princeton on US Route 1
South. They have free shuttle service that can pick you up from the
Princeton Junction train station as well as bring you to and from the
University for the summit. The current room rate for a double room or
single king bed is $118 without tax:

[CODE4LIB] REGISTRATION OPEN: Distributed Digital Presevation (DDP) Workshop - Oct 30 in Chapel Hill

2015-09-23 Thread Kari R Smith
Distributed Digital Preservation (DDP): Issues and Options for Organizations
The Digital Preservation Management workshop series is pleased to announce that 
registration is open for a one-day topical workshop on distributed digital 
preservation principles and practice.

Date: 30 October 2016, 10am-4pm
Venue:  Manning Hall 208, UNC Chapel Hill
Cost: $150-max attendees: 25  -  training materials and lunch included

Registration site: https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/?eventid=1765276

Instructors:
 Eld Zierau of the Royal Library of Denmark
 Katherine Skinner of Educopia
 Nancy McGovern of MIT Libraries/DPM Director

Aligning with good practice for digital preservation increasingly requires that 
repositories engage in distributed digital preservation. We define distributed 
digital preservation as “the use of replication, independence, and coordination 
to address the known threats to digital content through time to ensure their 
accessibility” [Zierau and Schultz, 2013.]  This workshop will provide an 
overview of distributed digital preservation core concepts, the status of 
current practice, and an in-depth and interactive demonstration of the Outer 
OAIS-Inner OAIS (OO-IO) Model, a collaboration of Eld Zierau of the Royal 
Library in Denmark and Nancy McGovern, director of the Digital Preservation 
Management workshop program.  The OO-IO Model builds on work that was initiated 
and coordinated by Educopia. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of 
options and possible next steps for the community.

Prior attendance at a Digital Preservation Management workshop is not required, 
but some experience with managing digital content for preservation and access 
is highly recommended.
We will be referring to the OO-IO Model described in this paper: 
http://digitalbevaring.dk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Zierau_McGovern_Outer_Inter_OAIS.pdf

We look forward to your participation at this workshop!

[CODE4LIB] Registration open for 'From the Toolbox: BitCurator Digital Forensics workshop' 29 May, Vienna

2015-04-20 Thread Becky McGuinness
*Registration is now open for our next event 'From the Toolbox: BitCurator
Digital Forensics workshop' which takes place on 29 May, at the AIT
Austrian Institute of Technology in Vienna.*

Overview

This one-day OPF workshop offers the opportunity to learn how digital
forensics and the use of disk images can support your digital preservation
workflows. Supported by expert facilitators Cal Lee and Kam Woods from the
University of North Carolina, participants will get hands-on experience
using the BitCurator http://www.bitcurator.net/ tools including the
latest developments with BitCurator Access
http://access.bitcurator.net/index.php?title=Main_Page. The BitCurator
Environment is a suite of open source digital forensics and data analysis
tools to help collecting institutions (libraries, archives, and museums)
process and provide access to born-digital materials.

Agenda

The agenda and further information about the event is available on the OPF
wiki page:
http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/KB/2015-05-29+From+the+Toolbox+-+BitCurator+Digital+Forensics+workshop

Who should attend?

This workshop is intended for archivists, manuscript curators, librarians
or others who are responsible for acquiring, transferring and/or providing
access collections of born-digital materials, particularly those that are
received on removable media. We will assume that participants are familiar
with basic digital curation issues and practices.

Though it is not mandatory, participants will ideally know how to create
disk images; generate and verify cryptographic hashes of files; and examine
the contents of a file in a hex editor. It will also be helpful to
understand the role and purpose of filesystems, file headers, and file
signatures. Knowledge of Linux command line operations will also be
beneficial, but is not a necessary prerequisite to participation. We'll be
on hand to help with tasks, and many of the tools have graphic user
interfaces.

Why attend?

Participants will learn about and get experience using BitCurator
environment tools that can assist with various aspects of digital curation,
including pre-imaging data triage; forensic disk imaging; file system
analysis and reporting; identification of private and individually
identifying information; and export of technical and other metadata. They
will also learn about tools that are currently available but undergoing
significant further development for providing access to data from disk
images and redacting sensitive content. Participants should leave with a
practical understanding of how to apply these tools in their own
institutions and with contacts in peer institutions who are undertaking
similar work.

Register

http://opf-fromthetoolbox-bitcurator-digitalforensics.eventbrite.co.uk.

OPF members are invited to attend free of charge. The price for non-members
is 75 Euros.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib registration repercussions?

2015-03-13 Thread Louisa Kwasigroch
Thanks Mark for bringing this to my attention. Brad, I¹m sorry you are
dealing with this.

I reviewed the order form DLF created via RegOnline for Code4Lib 2013.
There is not a place where a subscription/membership was offered or a
place to opt out within the form itself. The DLF used RegOnline for
several other events besides Code4Lib, including DLF Forums, and I¹m not
aware of reports of unwanted credit card charges. If anyone else notices
something like this, please let me know.

We did switch from RegOnline to Eventbrite in 2013, but that was because
we liked Eventbrite more. Since I came on in 2013 and didn¹t use
RegOnline, I¹ve reached out to a former colleague to see if she recalls
any issues.

DLF for registration? I recall DLF having a similar issue due to the
company they contracted with for registration a few years back - at least
one DLF registrant got caught out by it. As I recall, DLF changed
registration vendors after that. Louisa should be able to confirm and as

 If there was an option for an annual subscription for ACTIVE as part of

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib registration repercussions?

2015-03-13 Thread Brad Busenius
Yes, they are mainly for marathons and such, however, apparently they do 
some other things too. The registration was done with the RegOnline 
software which is owned by Lanyon Solutions Inc. Both of these entities 
share the same address with Active. I found this press release from Acitve:


http://www.activenetwork.com/news-and-events/active-press-releases/2014/active-network-business-solutions-group-joins-forces-with-lanyon-forming-a-leading-global-meetings-events-and-hospitality-technology-company

Active, might be okay for people who seek out their subscription and 
actually use their discounts or whatever it is they're offering. I don't 
know about that. The issue I'm trying to shed light on is their 
unscrupulous signup process and their [unintended?] association with 
code4lib. It was not appropriate that I could signup for a paid annual 
subscription for their services while registering for an academic 
conference. That should not have even been a possibility.


The majority of people probably avoided this during registration, as 
they should have since we all need to be careful when paying for 
anything online nowadays, however, it's always possible that somebody 
might miss something like this. In my case, I was distracted, busy, and 
inundated with emails while registering. Perhaps I made a mistake but it 
shouldn't have been an option in the first place.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib registration repercussions?

2015-03-13 Thread Jenn Riley
I think Mark is on to something. Was this one of the years CODE4LIB used
DLF for registration? I recall DLF having a similar issue due to the
company they contracted with for registration a few years back - at least
one DLF registrant got caught out by it. As I recall, DLF changed
registration vendors after that. Louisa should be able to confirm and as
Mark says, provide moire information.

emails from this company at my /work/ email address. I never noticed the

trial that ended after a month, at which point I was automatically 
enrolled into an annual subscription. Needless to say, I//did /not/ ever 
sign up for any trial or subscription, at least not to my knowledge.


Since I have only used my personal credit card for work purposes 3 
times, it was easy to tie this to code4lib 2013. I looked at my receipt 
for code4lib 2013 and saw that something called RegOnline (owned by 
Lanyon Solutions Inc) was used to process my event registration. Though 
I'm not sure this is the same company, RegOnline, Lanyon Solutions Inc, 
and ACTIVE Network, LLC all share the same physical address. I suspect 
these three companies are one and the same and will refer to them as 
ACTIVE Network, LLC for the rest of this email.


I did a little investigating and found out that ACTIVE Network, LLC. 
uses unscrupulous business practices to trick people into singing up for 
their annual subscription. The crux of this is an automatic opt-in 
they employ while processing enrollments for third parties. Though I'm 
very embarrassed I didn't catch this, in my own defense I wasn't 
expecting it while registering for an academic conference. I'm not 
blaming anyone nor am I angry with anyone on this list. I only send this 
email to inquire and inform:


1. To see if anyone else has had a similar experience.
2. To warn other people from code4lib to check their bank statements.
3. To plead with the community to stop using ACTIVE Network, LLC and
   anything affiliated with them for registration.

Let me be frank for a moment. ACTIVE Network, LLC engages in highly 
unethical business practices. I did not intend to enroll in any annual 
subscriptions when I registered for code4lib and I never would have 
agreed to anything of the sort had I noticed what was happening. 
Additionally, the subscription isn't at all relevant to code4lib. I'm 
not even sure what value is being provided by the subscription. I think 
it has something to do with coupons for outdoor exercise equipment but 
I'm not even sure. Also, these guys are bad. They lost class action 
lawsuits in Iowa and Vermont. In fact, this whole thing is just bad all 
around. Since noticing the fraudulent charges this morning, I've already 
disputed them with my bank and filed a formal complaint against ACTIVE

I'm sorry to hear about the suspicious charges! Per your request, I checked
the history of the the account I used to pay for 2013 and did not find a
reoccurring charge like the one you described. I wonder what happened with

ACTIVE is a company that handles sports event registration, unless code4lib had 
some sort of Athletic component I doubt that they were involved with this

2015 UnCamp
This year’s HathiTrust Research Center UnCamp will be held March 30-31, 2015 at 
the University of Michigan Palmer Commons. This is the third iteration of the 
UnCamp—an event that is part hands-on coding and demonstration, part 
inspirational use-cases, part community building, part informational, all 
structured in the dynamic setting of an un-conference programming format. It 
has visionary speakers mixed with boot-camp activities and hands-on sessions 
with HTRC infrastructure and tools. This year’s keynote speakers are Professor 
Michelle Alexopoulos, of the University of Toronto Department of Economics and 
Professor Erez Lieberman Aiden of the Department of Genetics at the Baylor 
College of Medicine. Read more about Michelle and Erez on the HTRC website.

Who should attend? The HTRC UnCamp is targeted to the digital humanities tool 
developers, researchers and librarians of HathiTrust member institutions, and 
graduate students. Breakout sessions will cover a range of topics and be based 
around attendees’ self-identified roles, so all levels of user/researcher are 
encouraged to attend. Attendees will be asked for their input in planning 
sessions, so please plan to register early!

Registration is now live!
The UnCamp will have a minimal registration fee of $150 so as to make the 
Uncamp as affordable as possible for you to attend, while covering meals and 
venue expenses. Registration will be open until March 16, 2015, and is limited 
due to venue constraints, so do plan to register early.

Follow this link to register:

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Registration Status

2015-02-04 Thread Tom Johnson
I'm pleased to announce that Code4Lib 2015 is entirely sold out.  We closed
registration as scheduled on the 1st of February, and sold the last open
registration spot

A rough count of attendees comes out to 452, with a few people sneaking in
past the cap.

The *preconference registrations are reopened*, after being initially
closed with the main registration.  We'll leave them open as long as there
is a reasonable amount of space, so feel free to register for the
preconference day right up through the weekend.

See you in Portland, Code4Libbers!

 Kudos to everyone who is working on this!

 In the registration process I noticed the questions about accessibility
 needs and dietary restrictions. I also appreciate the work that was done
 to figure out childcare. I'm super excited about the program and also
 noticed that both keynotes are women and more than half the speakers are
 women.

 Our community isn't perfect, but I really appreciate the work that
 everyone is doing to identify barriers and figure out how to make
 improvements.

 I love learning with you folks.

Mine is a unsolicited comment/endorsement for AirBnB as an additional source of 
accommodations, if it does not hurt the conference planning process. [1] With 
AirBnB believe you can get quite a nice place to stay that is larger, more

The block rates aren't available for Friday (they are Sunday night through
Thursday night), so if you are selecting Friday, you might be hitting a
snag.

It's also possible that the block is filled for thursday. We can contact
the hotel about expanding the block, and getting a current report on where
we stand.  Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday's blocks are larger than the
number of currently registered attendees, so you should still be able to
book then.

I would also recommend giving the hotel a call and seeing what they can do
for you about good rates for the weekend.

stand.  Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday's blocks are larger than the number of 
currently registered attendees, so you should still be able to book then.

I would also recommend giving the hotel a call and seeing what they can do for 
you about good rates for the weekend.

 I had trouble as well, but when I restricted my reservation to only 
 Sunday-Wed nights, it then allowed me to reserve rooms. It appears 
 that there are no rooms available for Thursday or Friday after the

I'm told we're not currently out of block space for any of Sunday-Thursday
nights.

If you're having trouble, calling the hotel directly is probably the best
solution.

We'll do our best to stay on top of the block status and expand it where
needed.  The hotel has been very flexible thus far, and I get the
impression they would be glad if we booked them solid.

I'm also being told that you will likely get the block rate for the weekend
if you call and ask.

Again, we're working to make sure the edge dates stay available and ready
to ask the hotel to expand any dates that fill up.

We are closing in on sold out for Thursday, but trying to expand that day,

We are following up on this.  We are currently below 50% capacity for our
planned block, so the hotel *should not* be turning you away.

 reservation - and now they claim to be out of rooms.

 Best to check yours!

Me three. We’re working on this - I just went through the process via
phone to do a reservation that way. You may have to ask for the Oregon
State University Conference Services block, rather than code4lib (I had
that problem.) They’ll tell you the block is sold out on the 12th - we’re
working on getting more.

[CODE4LIB] Registration Open for Fall Hydra Camp - August 26-29 - Princeton, NJ

2014-06-11 Thread Mark Bussey
I’m excited to announce that registration for the Fall 2014 Hydra Camp is now 
open. The Fall camp will be hosted by Princeton University Library.  

Hydra Camp is a great place to bootstrap your Hydra developer skills, kick the 
tires if you’re considering adopting Hydra, and it’s a great place to learn 
about more general development and technical topics including:

Collaborative development on cross-instutional and open source projects
Using github for distributed source control, managing feature development, and 
release management
Principles of Test Driven Development including the differences between unit 
testing, feature testing, TDD, BDD, ATDD and other flavors of testing

We will cover deploying Hydra to production environments and this will be our 
first Hydra Camp to offer a preview of Hydra running on Fedora 4.  

Full registration details are available online at: 
https://hydracamp-princeton2014.eventbrite.com. We’re pleased to offer a $50 
Early-Bird registration discount on all registrations made prior to July 15th, 
2014. More details about Hydra Camp and sample syllabi are available at 
http://curationexperts.com/who-we-are/about/hydra-camp/.

Feel free to e-mail me with any questions about Hydra Camp. We’d love to have 
you join us.

I'm inquiring as I like to go the workshops in Vancouver as they are not

Might I have missed the post for this earlier or is there another place I

Web/Usability Testing on a budget!

With Cynthia Ng
· If you take care of even a small part of the website, you want
to have some kind of feedback from your users. However, you're just one
person, and you have a budget of $100. What do you do? This session will
give you some hands on practice using a few methods to help you do some
usability testing on a low budget.
· Please bring a laptop, multiple sheets of paper, and at least
one pen.

Cynthia Ng is currently on contract as an Accessibility Librarian at the
Centre for Accessible Post-secondary Education Resources BC (CAPER-BC)
housed at Langara College. She takes a holistic approach with focus on
users to improve library websites. She also frequently volunteers as a
mentor at technology events.



Introduction to Designing for the Web Today: HTML5, CSS3, and JQuery

With Schuyler Lindberg
· A practical introduction to HTML5, CSS3,  JQuery, this
workshop will cover the fundamentals of modern front-end web design. Not
your typical hello world! code-from-scratch approach, it will
demonstrate how to 'stand on the shoulders of giants' and take advantage
of open source tools and templates to very quickly construct a
fully-functional, responsive, HTML5 web site. Bring a laptop and your
favorite text editor (I recommend Sublime Text). No prior experience
necessary.

Schuyler Lindberg completed his MLIS at SLAIS in 2012, and after a stint
as a Digital Asset Management Consultant at BC Hydro, began his current
role as Interaction Designer for Digital Projects at UBC Library Systems
 Information Technology where he tests, designs, and develops user
interfaces for library web applications. He is currently building a
unified portal for the library's digital collections


Intro to Python

With Alex Garnett
· This 3 hour workshop will introduce the fundamentals of Python
as a first (or second) programming language. It will provide an overview
of syntax, best practices, and how to get from A to B in simple,
purposeful tasks, taking string parsing as an example. This will include
a brief review of (relatively) sane approaches to doing iterative
development on your own, including how to solve errors on a case-by-case
basis, without having to read coding manuals from cover to cover.
Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own machines
(Windows, Mac, or Linux okay) so that they can walk away from the
workshop with a workflow that works for them.

Alex Garnett works on Data Curation and Digital Preservation at SFU
Library. Most of his coding is self-taught, which is a good thing when it
isn't a bad thing. He doesn't always like it when he hears people start
evangelizing about how everyone should learn to code, but he's caught
himself talking about how some people really ought to learn really

[CODE4LIB] Registration open for SCAPE Project training event: Future Formats First, 16-17 September, London

2013-07-23 Thread Rebecca McGuinness
SCAPE Project Training Event
Future Formats First: Building Application Infrastructures for Action Services
16-17 September 2013
The British Library, London

Registration is now open at: 
http://scape-future-formats-first.eventbrite.co.uk/.

This workshop is the second event in the SCAPE project training programme. It 
will focus on using tools and workflows to carry out digital preservation 
actions at scale.
 
It will begin with an introduction to scalability and will present techniques 
to use a scalable platform with common preservation tools.
 
By building on a real use case from the British Library, delegates will gain 
hands on experience in migrating a large volume of image files to the JPEG 2000 
format, verifying each migration against the original file using tools 
including ImageMagik, jpylyzer and Matchbox.
 
Delegates will learn about building workflows to invoke multiple operations, 
and how to share and discover other workflows. By building a scalable 
environment using Hadoop and Taverna, delegates will then be able to execute 
their workflow at scale, performing multiple simultaneous migrations and 
verifications.
 
Learning Outcomes (by the end of the training event the attendees will be able 
to):
*Understand scalable platforms and evaluate the situations in which such 
environments are required.
*Apply knowledge of existing tools to solve migration and quality control 
problems.
*Combine and modify tool chains in order to create automated workflows for 
migration and quality control.
*Implement best practice for discovering and sharing workflows for use and 
re-use.
*Make use of a scalable environment and apply a number of workflows to 
automatically perform migration and quality assurance checks on a large number 
of objects.
*Identify a number of potential problems when working in a scalable environment 
and propose solutions.
*Understand the potential to use scalable platforms in digital preservation and 
synthesise new opportunities within your own environments.

Delegates will receive a certificate of attendance for the training course.
 
Agenda
The draft agenda is available here: 
http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/SP/SCAPE+Future+Formats+First+Agenda.
The event will be conducted in English.
 
Who should attend?
Practitioners (digital librarians and archivists, digital curators, repository 
managers, or anyone responsible for managing digital collections) with an 
interest in building digital preservation workflows using a variety of 
preservation tools, and then executing them at scale. To get the most out of 
this training course you will ideally have some knowledge or experience of 
digital preservation.

Developers who are interested in learning about digital preservation at scale.
 
Registration
Registration is now open at: 
http://scape-future-formats-first.eventbrite.co.uk/.
 
The cost for the two days is £90. Morning and afternoon coffee breaks and lunch 
will be provided and are included in the registration fee.
 
*Please ensure you bring your laptop with you so you can participate in the 
practical exercises.*
 
Registration will close on Friday 6 September

developing cutting-edge software tools and cyberinfrastructure to enable 
advanced computational access to the growing digital record of human knowledge.

HTRC UnCamp
The second annual HTRC UnCamp will be held in September 8-9, 2013 at the 
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The UnCamp is different: it is part 
hands-on coding and demonstration, part inspirational use-cases, part community 
building, and a part informational, all structured in the dynamic setting of an 
un-conference programming format. UnCamp will feature stellar keynote speakers 
including Matt Wilkens, who specializes in contemporary American fiction, and 
digital and computational literary studies at Notre Dame, and Christopher 
Warren, specialist in Renaissance literature as it relates to politics, law, 
international political thought, and intellectual history, at Carnegie Mellon.  
 New this year is a Scholarly Communication Office Hours.  The office hours is 
a pilot for user services: participants will have the option to sign up for 
individual consultation sessions with members of the UIUC library.

Who should attend?

The HTRC UnCamp is targeted to the digital humanities and informatics tool 
developers, researchers and librarians, and graduate students.

Registration

To make UnCamp as affordable as possible for you to attend, we have set 
registration at $100.00.  Please visit

[CODE4LIB] registration open for OAI8 in Geneva 19-21 June 2013

2013-02-14 Thread Thomas Krichel
 
  OAI8, the 8th Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication will
  be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from Wednesday 19th to Friday 21st
  June 2013. Program details and registration are now available at
  https://indico.cern.ch/event/oai8. It will be possible to register
  for a part or all of the programme.

  The workshop will follow the successful format of previous sessions
  mixing practical tutorials, presentations from cutting-edge projects
  and research, discussion groups, posters, and an intense social
  programme to maximise interaction and communication. Previous
  workshops have built a strong community spirit. The event is a unique
  opportunity to exchange ideas and contact details with a large public
  connected to the OA movement. The OAI workshops are a series of the
  most important international meetings in this field and take place
  roughly every two years.
  
  Each iteration of the workshop series has dealt with issues relevant
  to today. This year, research data will be one of the topics
  tackled. In the light of the Royal Society Report Science as an Open
  Enterprise, European universities are beginning themselves to
  consider the impact of the data deluge. The workshop will also revisit
  the topic of metrics and suggest new approaches.
  
  Thanks to the continued support of our sponsors, the organisers have
  been able to maintain the modest registration fee at the same level as
  for the previous workshop, i.e. CHF 275. Moreover, a special early
  bird fee of CHF 230 is offered until Wednesday 27th of March.
  
  Further information will be added to the website
  https://indico.cern.ch/event/oai8, including details of the Breakout
  Groups, of a pre-conference day about Duraspace, and the Call for
  posters.
  
  The committee looks forward to welcoming you to Geneva.

Thanks for giving us a week notice. I would be screwed if it was today,
both for schedule reasons and for being given funding (which still isn't).

In the original proposal, http://tigger.uic.edu/~kayiwa/code4lib.html , you
said:

Our plan will include staggered registration divided in 3 equal parts.
Early bird for people on the East Coast and our international friends who
stay up late, another in the middle of the day convenient for the central
time zone, and another late in the day to accommodate the West Coast and
international guests.

I haven't heard anything about this in the recent email flurry, so I'm
assuming there will just be a registration single queue, right?

Thanks,
Tom

Yep it will be one registration at noon. The cost of pulling off my

[CODE4LIB] Code4lib Registration 2013 Redux.

2012-11-26 Thread Francis Kayiwa
To prove that we *do* listen the registration is push a full week from
the last post. 

Repeat: You will be registering on 12/4 for Code4lib 2013.

Apologies and thanks for those who beat some sense into us. We *do
appreciate it*. That said we will not delay this any further. :-)

Hi New England code4libers:

Come and join us at code4lib New England, Friday October 26 and Saturday

be presenting on some cool stuff on the first day and the second day will be an 
unconference with topics chosen by you.

You can check out the current plan for the two days at 
http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/NECode4lib_2012_Home

You can also find information on hotels and more detailed travel information 
there.

Registration is first come first served, and we have space for about 80

space on this form for you to suggest a topic or topics for consideration by 
the group on Saturday morning.
