NOTE: Proposals can be submitted through Thursday, October 4, 2018 at
midnight Pacific time.

Code4Lib 2019 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people
working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums/cultural heritage
and technology with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and forge
collaborations. For more information about the Code4Lib community, please
visit https://code4lib.org/about/. The conference will be held at the
DoubleTree by Hilton in San Jose, CA, from February 19, 2019 to February
22, 2019. More information about Code4lib 2019 is available on this year’s
conference website https://2019.code4lib.org. We encourage all members of
the library, archives, museums, cultural heritage organizations, and
technology community to submit a proposal for a prepared talk. Prepared
talks should focus on one or more of the following areas:    - Projects
you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing
technologies and/or development of new software    - Tools and technologies
– How to get the most out of existing tools, standards, and protocols (and
ideas on how to make them better)    - Technical issues – Big issues in
library technology that are worthy of community attention or development
   - Relevant non-technical issues – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib
community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration,
diversity, organizational challenges, etc. In order to provide increased
opportunities for a diversity of speakers and topics, all presentations
will be listed by title and description only during the voting period.
Speaker names will not be included until the program is posted. We will
also be soliciting 10, 15, and 20 minute talks.

You'll be asked to indicate which talk lengths you would be willing to
accommodate for your proposal. A separate call for poster proposals
will be offered at a later date. There will also be sign up
opportunities to present 5 minute lightning talks at the event.

As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that
they would like to see included in the program. The top 10 proposals
are guaranteed a slot of their preferred length at the conference. The
Program Committee will curate the remainder of the program in an
effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters.
Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these
decisions.

Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program
will have conference registration slots held for them (up to 2
speakers per talk). The standard conference registration fee will
apply.

Proposals can be submitted through Thursday, October 4, 2018 at
midnight Pacific time. Voting will start on Tuesday, October 9, 2018
and continue through Thursday, October 25, 2018 at midnight Pacific
time. The committee plans to announce selected proposals on Monday,
October 29, 2018.

Thank you,

The Code4Lib 2019 Program Committee
