Where: TBA A pre-Code4Lib PNW get together for folks to get together, have a drink and chat. BACKGROUND: The code4lib Conference was born in a chatroom discussion in November 2005*. Code4lib members quickly coalesced around the idea and a popular, annual conference for library technologist and developers was born. The Pacific Northwest Code4Lib group was formed to build upon the original goals of the group/conference. It aims to connect developers so they can share information about projects, trends and technologies. Most importantly, it seeks to develop a community where people share information and experience and collaborate on work towards common goals. FORMAT: The Code4Lib Northwest meeting will be a one day conference in traditional Code4Lib style. It will feature approximately 8 20 minute sessions, and two periods (a morning and late afternoon) consisting of lightning talks. The facilities and the size should help keep the meeting cozy, and, with luck, everyone that wants to participate (do a lightning talk) will have the opportunity. PRESENTATIONS: In preparation for Code4Lib PNW, a small group of presentations have been pre-solicited and are available with the draft schedule here: http://groups.google.com/group/pnwcode4lib/web/code4lib-northwest-2010 Presentation ideas can be submitted to the Google Group or to Kyle Banerjee ([log in to unmask]) or Terry Reese ([log in to unmask]) directly.

ATTENDEES AND REGISTRATION: Code4Lib Northwest 2010 event will be capped at 60 participants. Registration is $50, and it will cover lunch, refreshments throughout the day.
