Good news everyone!

Looks like we have a consensus on two full days and both sets of dates 
seem to work for nearly everybody. I'll make an executive decision here 
and we'll go with the first set of dates - May 5th and 6th - day one 
being a hackfest and day two presentations, lightning talks, and BOAF. 
Since we have more-or-less voted to extend to a full day hackfest, we'll 
be on our own for lunch that day. We have a student centre right across 
from the library, a bar right across from the other side, or we can all 
pitch in and order a bunch a pizza. Lunch will be supplied on day two 
courtesy of the university. We can handle up to 50 people, so sign-up!

I'd like to start a new tradition with Code4Lib North and deposit the 
slides and *maybe* recordings of the presentations in our IR. If people 
are cool with this, I can get it all setup prior to the event. You'll be 
able to select a CC-license of your choice. You can sign-up for talks on 
the wiki - same as last year.

Hackfest: Send your hackfest problems to John Fink ([log in to unmask]) 
or myself. As we get closer to the date we'll start putting more info 
out regarding the details.

Details:

When: May 5-6, 2011
Where: Lyons New Media Centre, Mills Memorial Library, McMaster 
University, Hamilton Ontario
