Hi Rosalyn,
I agree that we should encourage women to step up and mentor other women
at Code4Lib. I also see the pairing of women mentors with women mentees
as fitting into an overall mentorship program, and I would be interested
in collaborating with you
Hi all,
I wouldn't want to crowd out women who are looking for this sort of
mentoring, but I (and other men) might be interested in being a mentee[1].
The flip side of MJ's logic (which I agree with) is that no men in the
pool of mentees means fewer opportunities for women to be mentors.

The font is Berlin Sans FB Demi and apparently Berlin Sans had its origins in

Hi all,
I might upset some people with this, but I wanted to bring up this question.
First, let me say that I think it is a terrific idea to have a code4lib
learning group with or without a mentoring program.
But from what I read from the listserv, it seemed to me that there were

I don't have a good answer for you. I think there is common agreement that
ways are needed to bring new people into the Code4Lib community. I don't have
a good sense as to whether generalized

use as a reason not to do this) offensive; it was not at all the spirit that

There being no rules about who can form a group does not mean there are no
opinions about it, or that nobody should share an opinion. Just the opposite,
the community defines itself by sharing opinions and discussing them, not by
rules. There is no contradiction between thinking something is a

Good afternoon,
Myself, Becky Yoose, and feelers out to a couple other people, are currently in
the very early stages of thinking we should do something (tm) that is outside

independent / inclusive that won't be segregated

Hi All,
O'Reilly is going to have a free webinar session today at 1pm PT/4pm ET.
Dear Colleagues,
I understand from a professional colleague, who referred me to this list,
that there are some experienced open source programmers here. I am in the
early stages of planning for a conference session/open source project in
June 2013 for a different professional library
Donna,
The Hydra Project is a distributed, open source software project that started
in the library community for digital asset management. We have spent a fair
amount of time defining and polishing our approach to many of the questions you
have asked about your proposed project.

I agree. Everyone gets to have their opinions.
So, in terms of a place to set up a discussion about (or of, I don't
remember the wording) women in code4lib or even just women and code, the
places I'm aware of that might work are:
Google+
Google Groups
an email list (not my favorite)
IRC
The software for this project is clearly just one part of an ambitious
and interesting venture. The first question I'd ask is how you plan to
assemble the programming team for this. Do you have the resources to
hire core people, or will you be counting entirely on volunteers? Doing
a big project

do scan them every so often in case something in my area comes up. I

The past week or so I've been struggling to understand the reason for the

This is an excellent guide for not only the processes, but the typical culture
of Free/Open Source software projects. Code4Lib is much like a F(L)OSS
project, so what you'd learn there is very relevant, IMHO.
