Re: [CODE4LIB] 2nd meetup for code4lib LA - May 15th
Salvete! I am definitely interested in a Northern California regional Code4Lib group, but my ability to jet down to LA for a two-hour meeting is regrettably limited. Likewise my ability to jet up to Seattle or Portland, unfortunately. Perhaps a better strategy might be to focus on a local? For example, we have CDL in Oakland, several nearby UCs, CSUs, large publics, and community colleges to draw from. We should be able to put together a decent showing on our own, I would imagine. Roy The only clear solution is an OCLC Treehouse Jet. Either that or a Code4Lib teleporter. Cheers, Brooke

Re: [CODE4LIB] 2nd meetup for code4lib LA - May 15th
I threw in Junior University as a sop for our UC friends--it's one of my favorite Stanford put downs. But seriously, we recently had digital librarians from Cal and UC Santa Barbara here for a two day session focused on GIS, Blacklight and Hydra, and it was enormously productive. (We met at Stanford because it was halfway between Santa Barbara and Berkeley -- ahem!) It made me think we should be doing this more regularly, especially as many of us seem to be converging on common tools and methods, more so than in recent years. Perhaps a regional C4L is the way to structure an ongoing, interinstitutional exchange. We'd be up to help plan, and even host, an event if others in NorCal are also interested. And OCLC does have rather nice offices, just 30 min north of us, so we could also meet there and see Roy's corporate jet up close (though I'm sad to hear it seems to be in the shop). - Tom On Mar 28, 2014, at 9:42 AM, Roy Tennant wrote: You mean from that...uh...farm?

Re: [CODE4LIB] 2nd meetup for code4lib LA - May 15th
Good points Josh. We'll keep working pulling together the northern folks and as things come together gauge the possibilities of joining up. What might end up being best is a Northern and Southern Group that meets more frequently and then making one of the meetings a dual-annual meeting. We'll see where this goes ;-) -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Joshua Nathan Gomez Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 9:38 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] 2nd meetup for code4lib LA - May 15th I am certainly open to the idea of expanding to a wider region. But California is large, and encompassing the whole state would be difficult. I got the ball rolling with the LA meetup because I wanted to meet my peers and create a way for us to keep in touch easily. Arranging for 20-30 people to meetup once every 3-4 months is not difficult. We can just reserve a meeting room in a library and do our best to provide free or easy parking. If we include all of SoCal, that brings us up to something closer to 50-60 people. That may still be possible, and I've already talked with San Diego folks to make our 3rd meeting a little longer (half day) to make it worth their time to come up north. Including the whole state could put us into triple digits. This requires larger meeting spaces and at least a full day of programming to make it worth the travel. I don't know how it is elsewhere, but at USC, getting those big spaces is difficult. They get reserved for other events at the very beginning of each semester. The campus has a conference center, but those rooms have a price tag. So now you're dealing with budgets and other logistical issues. That kind of meeting is what the national conference is for. I just wanted a simple local meetup that required very little planning and no money. I think having a NorCal and SoCal regional group would be a good idea. I realize that may not be satisfactory for someone like you, who is right in the middle, but it also means you could probably get out to both if you wanted. But despite everything I just said, we would certainly like to include as many people as possible and we will discuss ways of expanding the meetup while keeping it free at our next meeting.

There is a small auditorium in our building we could commandeer and we have a number of conference rooms of different sizes for breakouts if we needed them. Only minutes away from Stanford, a bit farther for others, but all told not a bad location. Plus, if someone wants to fly in we are only 10 minutes away from SFO.

It is the one you bought from Alaska Airlines and Airburshed your face on the tail of, I hope.

There is a small auditorium in our building we could commandeer and we have a number of conference rooms of different sizes for breakouts if we needed them. Only minutes away from Stanford, a bit farther for others, but all told not a bad location. Plus, if someone wants to fly in we are only 10 minutes away from SFO. Also, I'll do my best to get my jet out of the shop by the time of a planned gathering.

But seriously, we recently had digital librarians from Cal and UC Santa Barbara here for a two day session focused on GIS, Blacklight and Hydra, and it was enormously productive. (We met at Stanford because it was halfway between Santa Barbara and Berkeley -- ahem!) It made me think we should be doing this more regularly, especially as many of us seem to be converging on common tools and methods, more so than in recent years. Perhaps a regional C4L is the way to structure an ongoing, interinstitutional exchange. We'd be up to help plan, and even host, an event if others in NorCal are also interested. And OCLC does have rather nice offices, just 30 min north of us, so we could also meet there and see Roy's corporate jet up close (though I'm sad to hear it seems to be in the shop). - Tom On Mar 28, 2014, at 9:42 AM, Roy Tennant wrote: You mean from that...uh...farm?
