[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2009 - Give Us Your Breakout Session Ideas
Dear Code4Lib 2009 Participants: This year, as in previous years, we're having two open-ended, informal breakout sessions during the Code4Lib conference. These have been useful for folks who wanted to discuss issues, follow up on the topics from keynotes and other talks, learn more about a project or a standard, or actually work on developing a specification or hacking out useful code. The best part about the breakout sessions is that any attendee can propose and lead a session, and we will have several rooms available to accommodate crowds of various sizes as appropriate. Right now the schedule allows for two 70-minute blocks for these, one on each of the two full conference days, Tuesday Feb 24, and Wednesday Feb 25. There's a page at code4lib.org to collect advance suggestions and proposals from any attendee who wants to run a session. Please put your session idea and name on the page or email me off-list and I'll add them to the page. Pick a day (if it matters), give your proposed session a descriptive name, and add a short description if it's not self-evident what it's about. It's easiest too if we have a point person for each breakout session, so put your name next to the proposal. You can always add or change names later. http://code4lib.org/node/276 When the conference starts we'll have flip charts listing all the proposals we collected on the web page, with room for anyone to add or change proposals. Before the breakouts start, we'll take a quick show of hands to divvy up the rooms according to interest. Smaller groups will just spread out in the ballroom. -- Jean Jean Rainwater Co-Leader, Integrated Technology Services Brown University Library Providence, Rhode Island 02912 401.863.9031 jean_rainwa...@brown.edu

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2009
As I write this I'm in Providence, attending the Digital Library Federation Fall Forum. Today Birkin Diana was kind enough to take me on a tour of the conference hotel for Code4Lib 2009 -- the Renaissance Providence, see: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pvdbr-renaissance-providence-hotel/ The hotel is directly next to the state capitol building. Here is a photo I took from a side door of the hotel: http://flickr.com/photos/rtennant/3027972701/ And many rooms look out directly on it. The hotel itself is quite historic, in a weirdly interesting way. There is an incredible back story to this hotel, which crops up in interesting ways. Originally built as a Masonic Temple, it remained uninhabited for 75 years (yes, you heard right) since its construction around the Great Depression. It was finally renovated into the hotel you will inhabit at Code4Lib. But aspects of its past have been retained -- from Masonic symbology to treasured remnants of graffiti that graced the walls of the empty building for many years, as numerous generations of rambunctious teenagers did their best to leave their mark. The hotel has a cool basement bar and restaurant graced with graffiti remnants and a large bar room with modern couches, candles, and comfortable short stools that can be repositioned in a variety of groupings. The rooms are fantastic. Assuming they are mostly like the one Birkin and I saw today, they are quite roomy, with a desk, couch, chair, and plenty of space beyond the two double beds. The bathroom was completely up to and beyond par, and has a door that opens into the clothes closet for easy dressing. The meeting rooms seem fine, like most modern hotels. I'm hopeful, due to its size, that the main room will accommodate tables for computers. Birkin assures me that the wireless is up to the task and they will have plenty of power strips in place. In terms of neighborhood amenities, the hotel is not a long walk (although in February you can't hold me to this) to restaurant row in downtown Providence. However, if the snow is blowing hard there is not only the hotel restaurant (which definitely looks good although I did not inspect the menu), or several decent choices one block away beneath the large shopping mall (yes, there is serious indoor mall shopping nearby). As someone who participated in the ill-fated-but-bound-to-come-back-like-a-bad-dream Columbus bid for the 2009 conference, I can say that I am completely happy with the Providence location and I am very much looking forward to the 2009 conference. On to Providence! Roy

Here are a few ideas., since you asked (I think?) Stefano Mazzocchi: http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/ Creator or Cocoon, one of the people behind the Simile project, now at MetaWeb ... I think Stefano's experience with public speaking, open source software, data processing and the web would make him a compelling keynote. Andy Powell: http://www.eduserv.org.uk/foundation/people/andypowell/ Long time metadata wrangler, and moving force behind organizations like UKOLN, JISC, Open Archive Initiative, Eduserv. Andy's been a strong advocate for the use of web technologies, and web architecture in the digital library space. Ian Davis: http://iandavis.com/blog/about CTO of Talis, architect of their RESTful semweb platform, co-author of RSS 1.0, creator of FRBR RDF vocabulary, articulate and experienced speaker on the use of the web and semantic web technologies, particularly (but limited to) the library space. Tim Spalding: http://www.librarything.com/profile.php?view=timspalding The guy behind LibraryThing. His insights into the communities around books and libraries, and how to enable them on the web are fun, invigorating and inspiring. Carl Malamud: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Malamud Long time advocate for Internet technologies for the public good. Most recently involved with making public domain data sets available to the public w/ public.resource.org. Jon Orwant: http://www.orwant.com/bio/ Perl hacker, author, former CTO of O'Reilly, now at Google Book Search.
