I'm looking for open source solution for managing employee/staff sick/vacation requests (leave request) and days earned monthly per employee. Essentially there would be a web form to submit a leave request specifying date and time, type of leave etc… which would then be emailed to a supervisor or alternative supervisor (checked off on form in case of supervisor absence). The supervisor would be able to export a list of days used for that month and view how many days an employee has available to take etc... The employee would also have be able to view available leave and previously submitted requests.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib New York one-day minicon, Mon Sept 26
Since there is a Code4Lib NYC group but no evidence of a Code4Lib NY State group, I think it was pretty unabiguously NYC. If you really need to check, click the link for Yitzchak's organization, http://www.tourolib.org/ and there is no doubt. For reference, in the recent past, the closest regional options from central NY have been Code4Lib North, Code4Lib New England, and (temptingly) Code4Lib Midwest.

[CODE4LIB] Anyone doing streaming video reserves for online film classes?
We are in the information gathering stage of a project to look at offering streaming video course reserves for online/distance multimedia classes the University of Baltimore offers. Think Netflix streaming for obsucure films not on Netflix (such as digitized films from special collections, or instructor personal copies). I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with this sort of thing? We currently use Slingbox (http://www.slingmedia.com/), but this will not scale to what our faculty have in mind. The most pressing needs (besides system tools to help maintain fair use), are one that is reliable outside of library hours and one that lets us upload our own content. Our partner from campus IT is investigating http://www.kaltura.org/, anyone have experience with it?
