[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014 Conference Diversity Scholarship Recipients
The Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce the Code4Lib 2015 Conference Diversity Scholarship awardees. Through the generosity of CurateCamp, Equinox, Mx A. Matienzo, and the Code4lib Community, we were able to award five $1,000 scholarships to defray costs associated with attending the conference. We received a large number of applications from highly qualified candidates this year, and it was a humbling experience for the committee to select just five awardees. Congratulations to all Code4Lib scholarship recipients!

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014 Conference accounting update
Colleagues, I wanted to report on the financial closing of the Code4Lib 2014 account. All of the bills have been paid for and the reimbursements have been sent. This year, we have a surplus of $29,419.80 that we will be able to pass onto the Code4Lib 2015 committee. I can say with great confidence that much of this surplus is possible through the excellent contract negotiation and cost management of CONCENTRA, whom we hired this year. The very first action CONCENTRA enabled for us was to change hotel venues because the first hotel contract we reviewed was overly restrictive and provided no incentives to the conference. At the venue were the conference was located, we received a sizeable number of kick backs of hotel rooms that offset costs of scholarship awardees and the keynote speakers, in addition to CONCENTRA's experience in estimated the number of meals needed so that we did not overcommit. Finally, CONCENTRA was instrumental in getting the hotel to not only improve the wireless, but also have the charges withdrawn for the days in which the wifi service was unacceptable. These are just a few of the examples of financial savings CONCENTRA's work provided. Thank you to Ann Elsner and her staff at Duke University for hosting the financial services for the conference! I am very proud of the hosting efforts of my colleagues at Duke University, NC State University, and UNC Chapel Hill, most especially of my co-Chair Emily Lynema. None of this would have been possible without all of the excellent volunteers locally, as well as those of you in the community who volunteered in other ways. If anyone has any final questions about Code4Lib 2014, please do let me know. Otherwise, I look forward to a successful Code4Lib 2015 in Portland!

This is beyond awesome. You and Emily should be accorded deity status in the Code4LibCon Pantheon. As for CONCENTRA, I have been promoting the idea of using them for years. I am very happy that you are very happy with them. I just wish that their name wasn't in all caps :) Cary +29,419.8 On Sep 2, 2014, at 12:54 PM, Tim McGeary timmcge...@gmail.com wrote: Colleagues, I wanted to report on the financial closing of the Code4Lib 2014 account.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014 conference t-shirt voting ends tomorrow!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014 conference t-shirt voting ends tomorrow!
The wording on the tshirt voting leads one to believe the tshirts are going to be doing presentations. We are the future! For each item, choose the score you wish to assign from 0-3. You may assign scores to as many items as you like. The top 10 proposals with the highest scores will be guaranteed a slot at the conference. Additional presentations will be selected by the Program Committee in an effort to ensure diversity in program content. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions. -lisa Lisa M.

While I'm sure we'd all enjoy presentations by the t-shirts, obviously this is leftovers from the last poll.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014 Conference: call for t-shirt designs!
Just once a year, an opportunity comes along to emblazon your vision for a spiffy t-shirt design onto the torsi of the entire Code4Lib community--and to bask in the fleeting, minimal fame that accompanies the honor of being selected. That opportunity has come. We are now accepting design ideas for the Official Code4Lib 2014 Conference T-Shirt! Submit yours at: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_t-shirt_design_proposals All themes and concepts welcome. A great design might reflect our profession, the Code4Lib community, or the culture of North Carolina's Research Triangle. Pandering for votes with puns or pop culture references has also worked splendidly in past years. Submissions are due January 3. The winning design will be selected via a community-wide vote in mid-January. Further instructions and information can be found on the wiki page. Thanks, Charlie Morris Josh Wilson, C4L 2014 T-Shirt Committee
Re: [CODE4LIB] 2014 Conference
John, We are still working on pricing, as we are negotiating with the hotel for food and beverage and are still working on an A/V RFP. And we are still actively working on sponsorship for the conference. The conference normally runs less than $200 registration. Based on our current budget estimates, the same will be true this year, although like I said, we don't have A/V quotes yet, so we can't promise anything yet. Currently, we anticipate that registration will open mid-January. It is on our calendar to announce a firm registration date by the beginning of December; we'll do it earlier if we can get the registration amount nailed down earlier. If you are interested in asking more about the conference, you can always utilize this list, or you can join the open 'code4libcon' google group and ask there. Also: note to all that the CFP for the conference will be going out VERY SOON. So it's not too early to start thinking about what kind of proposal you might want to put in. :) And a gentle reminder to those who have not presented at Code4Lib before - it's ok to submit a proposal for work you haven't finished yet. It'll be a great motivator for you to get it done in the upcoming months! -emily -- Date:Fri, 4 Oct 2013 19:29:37 + From:John Blair john.bl...@usm.edu Subject: 2014 Conference Hello- I'm looking to attend the 2014 conference, and am having a hard time finding information regarding registration, pricing, and contact information.
