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.

Huot <[log in to unmask]> and William Denton <[log in to unmask]>.
