Re: [CODE4LIB] Migrating from DSpace to ContentDM
I'm not sure what input formats ContentDM accepts (or even if there is a bulk load tool), but it always requires scripting some data manipulation when migrating out of DSpace.

We know that OPACs have sometimes moved to consortial management (e.g., CARLI, WRLC), but what what about publishing platforms (e.g., OJS), repository platforms (e.g., DSpace, Fedora), or other digital library systems (e.g., Omeka, Archon)?

Let's not lose sight that both proposals are good proposals, and that's why we have a vote. I'm sure there are various opinions on both proposals. 2) Separate from either proposal, I was struck this year by a greater diversity in topic areas for code4lib than I have observed in the past. There definitely felt like there was interest in tracks that were not as code-focused (such as culture / community, management, etc.). With the conference growing to the size it has, I personally feel it might be interesting to try a hybrid of single / multi-track, to allow those attending an opportunity to have the ability to have some additional focus on some theme areas. When we started code4lib, the size of the conference was such that a single track made a lot of sense; as the event has grown, both in size and maturity, I'd like to suggest that it may be worth exploring having both single track sessions and multi-track sessions to allow deeper dives by different segments of the attendees.

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.

Re: [CODE4LIB] 2nd meetup for code4lib LA - May 15th
Roy - I agree, we've got a lot of northern interest, and the LA group has already begun to meet. My initial thinking is certainly to try to get the Northern/Central folks together about the same time as the next LA meeting and we can both gauge the desire/need to merge.

I would hate to exclude anyone willing to travel to either the LA or NorCal meetings (from within CA or outside).

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.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Libraries and IT Innovation
Agreed. It's much easier to face a preservation project of many terabytes of archival tif images that will never be used for presentation but must be maintained when you have an "endless supply" (wink wink) of storage out in the cloud rather than face everything that is associated with bringing a large storage appliance online. Not to mention growth planning for said appliance, backup planning and execution, etc... -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Esmé Cowles Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 11:14 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Libraries and IT Innovation On Jul 17, 2013, at 2:01 PM, Matthew Sherman wrote: > As for cloud computing I am rather unsure of how that can be applied > to the libraries.

I think cloud computing is very relevant to libraries because it lowers the barriers to entry for hosting servers and storage, and helps let people scale up on-demand. -Esme
