This is your friendly final reminder that conference proposals are due
this Friday!

Don't forget to pitch your idea for pre-conference sessions as well.
We have lots of rooms!

Remember that getting a proposed talk in means a guaranteed spot for
the conference, so get yours in!

> We are now accepting proposals for Code4lib 2013.

> Code4lib 2013 is a loosely-structured conference for library
> technologists to commune, gather/create/share ideas and software, be
> inspired, and forge collaborations. The conference will be held Monday
> February 11th (Preconference Day) - Thursday February 14th, 2013 in

> **Prepared Talks**
>
> Head over to the call for proposals page at
> http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_talks_proposals and submit
> your idea for a prepared talk for this year's conference! Proposals
> should be no longer than 500 words, and preferably many less.
>
> Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and
> focus on one or more of the following areas:
>
> * tools (some cool new software, software library or integration platform)
> * specs (how to get the most out of some protocols, or proposals for new ones)
> * challenges (one or more big problems we should collectively address)
>
> The community will vote on proposals using the criteria of:
> * usefulness
> * newness
> * geekiness
> * uniqueness
> * awesomeness
>
> Proposals can be submitted through Friday, November 2nd, 5pm PT.
> Voting will commence soon thereafter. The submitter (and if necessary
> a second presenter) will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for
> the conference.
>
> Proposals for preconferences are also open until November 2nd, 5pm PT.

> We cannot accept every prepared talk proposal, but multiple lightning
> talk and breakout sessions will provide everyone who wishes to present
> with an opportunity to do so.

> Looking forward to seeing your proposals!
