Code4Libers may be interested in something I just released on
LibraryThing. It's called CoverGuess, and it's a sort of like Google
Labeler for book covers. It turns tagging covers into a competitive

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a book on Fedora (with a

At code4lib '10, I put in a plug for our PBCore.org survey

I've never been to Vancouver, so I don't know what the housing options are.
But I wonder if there isn't some way to keep the nightly rate down. Maybe this

Just to follow up on Mark's comments, we'll be making every effort to ensure
cheap(er) accommodation options are available to conference goers. Also, I
