We have extended the deadline for prepared talk proposals for Code4lib
2006. [1] The new proposal deadline is January 9, 2006, 5pm EST and
proposers will be notified by Midnight EST January 9, 2006.

Code4lib 2006 is a loosely structured conference for library technologists
to commune, gather/create/share ideas and software, be inspired, and forge
collaborations. It is also an outgrowth of the Access HackFest, wrapped
into a conference-ish format. It is the event for technologists building
digital libraries and digital information systems, tools, and software.

At least eight time slots will be available for prepared talks. We will
choose from among the proposals based on diversity of topics, usefulness,
wow factor, and potential impact.

Proposals of 75 words or less are being accepted for review now. Please
send your name, email address, and proposal to code4libcon. [2]

We cannot accept every prepared talk proposal, but multiple lightning talk
sessions will provide everyone who wishes to present with ample
opportunity to show off.

Prepared Talk Information

Prepared talks are 20 minutes, and must center on ³tools² (some cool
new software, software library or integration platform), ³specs² (how
to get the most out of some protocols, or proposals for new ones), or
³challenges² (one or more big problems we should collectively
address). We will evaluate proposals on criteria of usefulness, newness,
geekiness, and diversity of topics.
