If your idea of keeping libraries relevant doesn't include digital library/repository and grant-funded work, then I think we have very different ideas about that.

In any event, the thing I always liked about code4lib was that there was a good mix of different stuff -- something for everyone.  So repository stuff and OPAC stuff and study room scheduling and everything else were all welcome.
