 For my talk at Code4Lib, I'm trying to find or gather statistics about the 
 number of people doing any sort of code in libraries.

 My initial attempts to quantify this have failed. I would appreciate info 
 from list members.

 If you'd like to help, send me two numbers
 1. The number of people employed at or on contract to your library whose 
 major responsibilities include software development or maintenance. Broadly 
 defined.
 2. The total FTE staff at your library.

 (send to me, not the list, I will summarize)

Re: [CODE4LIB] Reminder: Newcomer dinner and Ribbons

Just a general question, how are team leaders contacting their attendees? I 
have no one's email addresses, so for Crazy Horse, I've put mine in the Wiki.

 Hi folks,
 
 If you'll be in Bloomington Monday evening, don't forget to sign up for the
 Newcomer Dinner [1]. There's still a lot of spots and restaurants for people
 to sign up. If you're already signed up, keep an eye out for any information
 about meeting places and times provided by your fearless group leaders.
 
 Last year we designated the hotel lobby as a gathering place for groups
 before heading over to restaurants, and it got a little chaotic. In the end,
 it's up to the group leader to decide and inform where the group's going to
 meet.
 
 On a related note, there should be badge ribbons for newbies and vets for
 self identification at the registration desk starting on Monday. Ribbon
 away!
 
 Safe travels and I'll see you all next week,
 Becky

Hi Joel (and others),

It's easiest to use the wiki for communicating meeting place/time info to
your group.

Thanks,
Becky

[CODE4LIB] Give a micro-talk on microservices at Open Repositories 2011!

2011-02-02 Thread Michael J. Giarlo
Hi folks,

I'm writing to encourage those of you working with or planning to work
with microservices, broadly defined, to propose a 24x7 talk -- no
longer than 7 minutes consisting of no more than 24 slides -- for Open
Repositories 2011.  The deadline for proposals is February 28th.
Here's the official call for proposals:


We welcome one- to two-page proposals (PDF preferred) for 7 minute
presentations comprising no more
than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7
presentations will be grouped
into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a
moderated discussion / question
and answer session involving the audience and whole block of
presenters. This forum will provide
conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many
institutions, and presenters the chance
to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster.


If enough talks around microservices are submitted, the topic will
receive its own block.

Please do consider submitting a proposal!

-Mike
