What: Code4Lib North is a local chapter of the Code4Lib community of people involved in libraries and technology (see http://code4lib.org/). North is meant to bring together librarians, programmers, and other interested people from Ontario, Quebec, New York, Vermont, and nearby areas. The annual Code4Lib conference began in 2006. Since then, several local chapters have started in diferent regions of the United States, as well as in Japan, Hungary, and the Netherlands. This is the first Canadian chapter meeting. Program: Twenty-minute talks and five-minute lightning talks, to be decided. Anything is possible, including a hackfest. Registration: There will be a short registration form going up soon, just to make it easier to count who's coming and what dietary preferences they have. But there's no cost to attend.
