Re: [CODE4LIB] Formalizing Code4Lib?

If we wait to start talking about it until conference 2017, that means conference committee 2018 will have to find its own temporary fiscal agent. Or 2018 could just not happen at all, I guess. Even if we do all the pre-work and just wait to make the decision at the conference, that doesn't leave

Re: [CODE4LIB] Formalizing Code4Lib?

Am I misunderstanding Roy and/or Francis's intention though that given essentially a full year to plan C4L 2017, that either they or entities that they have strong connections too are willing to be the fiscal agent for 2017? That's what I thought they were implying. Both indicated that they coul

Re: [CODE4LIB] Formalizing Code4Lib?

I agree that securing a permanent fiscal agent is the only way to sustain the annual conference at the current level, but I think there are ways to make a less formal commitment. What I don’t understand is what any fiduciary agent gets out of such a deal. There is significant risk and overhead

Hi - looking to speak w/anyone who has shifted from on-premise to cloud storage (Glacier, Nearline, Azure, et al) for archival/production master files. I hope to gain a sense of how workflows were impacted, as well as shifting from a "one-time" cost to monthly/annual recurring cost. I imagine I m

Re: [CODE4LIB] Formalizing Code4Lib?

There are a variety of options but I think it's fairly safe to say that it would require some additional organization. If another body took Code4Lib under it's umbrella they would want organizational contacts and some arrangements in place with whatever served as the governance of Code4Lib (and I
