Since Code4lib 2013 will be in Chicago, "open up the door" is also a nod to the song "Chicago (We Can Change the world)" by Graham Nash (of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young) [1].  It's a social justice protest song about the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the trial of the Chicago Eight.  The line "Rules and regulations, who needs them; Open up the door" seems like an apt motto for code4lib.
