In the interest of being a welcoming community, I think there needs to be something at or near the start of the main conference that provides a heads-up to the format and structure of the meeting. Particularly since it is unlike other conferences. Something that emphasizes the participatory nature and how-it-is-what-you-make-of-it. How to sign up for lightning talks. Hospitality suite. Etc.

There isn't a specific slot for a talk, and perhaps not even time for one, except possibly a 5 minute lightning talk. But we've also discussed the possibility of having a wiki page or video introduction that could be read or viewed by anyone at any time. There is already a "How to Hack Code4Lib" page by Declan Fleming and others here: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/How_to_hack_code4lib What do folks think? Is the page above enough? Are there people who would like to add to it? Is there someone who would like to put together a brief video intro to the conference? Thanks, Roy
