2nd meetup for code4lib LA - May 15th

[Joshua Nathan Gomez]

We had an excellent first meeting of the code4lib Los Angeles regional "chapter" last month on the USC campus. Two dozen people from 10 institutions across the county (and beyond) showed up to talk about libraries and technology. Our second meeting is now scheduled and we hope you can join us.

Date | Time:
May 15th, 2014 | 11am to 1pm.

Location:
Santa Monica Public Library (map: http://goo.gl/maps/8mPKC)

Parking:
An underground parking structure can be accessed from 7th Street between Santa Monica Blvd. and Arizona Ave. The first thirty minutes are free. Rates are $1 per hour for the first two hours and thirty minutes. After that, the rate is $1 per thirty minutes. Weekdays the daily maximum is $10. The Library does not provide validation for parking.

Agenda:
The next meeting will again be mostly informal, but we will also have a few short presentations. By request, we will have a presentation on continuous integration & deployment and another presentation on using Python and the pymarc library to work with bibliographic records.

If you have something you would like to present, please send me a note and I will add it to the agenda. We also have a shared document of topics requested where you can add a topic or sign up to present on one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvhkP_NFwnOldEVqZHg3SmpvVUFtOEctUVRmZW8ya3c&usp=sharing

See you there!

Josh - it was great to see you again this year!

We've got a lot of interest throughout the CSU and northern CA to form a regional group, Which a few of us are starting to pull together.

Is there interest in expanding the LA group throughout CA? I'm also wondering if we should try to expand this beyond CA into a "Western Regional", although there is already a PNW regional or keep it somewhat smaller?

Perhaps a discussion topic for the May meeting.

Thanks!

Yes, this is a good idea.  Perhaps we can allow people to join our meetings remotely!

Post-Code4lib2014, I now have a pretty good videocast setup. I also have GoToMeeting for up to 25 remote attendees.

I am not a huge Google Hangouts fan, but I know that some of us are, so there is that.

Thanks,

Cary
