I just wanted to confirm that the RailsBridge preconf was going to be

I would like to update the preconference signup page with the correct

Thanks to all for the location updates. It is known yet where the
registration desk will be on Monday? I signed up as a volunteer to

I've been reading this discussion with increasing dismay. At first, I was
encouraged by the collegiality, but now I think we are grasping for
civility and understanding. As I read the emails on this set of topics, I'm
compelled to provide another concrete example - as Karen and Deborah have

Does anybody here now of an API allowing me to feed it a personal name (like

That would be amusing to build.
Many VIAF records have a gender specified in them. We could aggregate
counts for each name and report back those counts. You'd have to decide
whether being male 9 times out of 10 is a high enough confidence level
for you.
Not saying that service exists, just

Firstly, there seems to be an assumption (explicit by some, implicit by others)
that Code4Lib members wouldn't intentionally harass people. This is a perfectly
reasonable assumption and I'm more than happy to go along with it.
I just want there to be a reciprocal assumption that Code4Lib
