I'm pretty sure the closest real hotel (there are a couple bed & breakfasts) is the new Hilton downtown; it's about 3/4 of a mile straight down Kirkwood Ave and probably a 12mn walk. On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 9:20 PM, Jonathan Rochkind wrote: > (Code4Lib listserv, Robert McDonald CC'd). I have a q

(Code4Lib listserv, Robert McDonald CC'd). I have a question about the Bloomington Code4Lib conference proposal. (I would personally be quite happy for the conference to be in Bloomington). I note that the actual IU conference center has under 200 rooms. Probably not enough for all attendees e

On the one hand, I'm all for following specs. But on the other...should we really be too concerned about dealing with the full flexibility of the 2709 spec, vs. what's actually used? I mean, I hope to god no one is actually creating new formats based on 2709! If there are real-life examples in the

I'm pretty sure Andrew was (a) completely unaware of anything I'd done, and (b) looking to match marc-xml as strictly as reasonable. I also like the array-based rather than hash-based format, but I'm not gonna go to the mat for it if no one else cares much. I would like to see ind1 and ind2 get t
