I saw this posted in several lists but not on any
blogs.
Call for proposals – Code4lib 2006
We are
now accepting proposals for prepared talks for Code4lib 2006. [1] Code4lib 2006
is a loosely structured conference for library technologists
to commune,
gather/create/share ideas and software, be inspired, and forge
collaborations. It is also an outgrowth of the Access HackFest, wrapped
into a conference-ish format. It is *the* event for technologists building
digital libraries and digital information systems, tools, and
software.
At least six time slots will be available for prepared
talks. We will choose from among the proposals based on diversity of
topics, usefulness, wow factor, and potential impact.
Proposals of 75
words or less are being accepted for review now.
Please send your name,
email address, and proposal to code4libcon. [2]
We cannot accept every
prepared talk proposal, but multiple lightning
talk sessions will
provide everyone who wishes to present with ample
opportunity to show
off. The proposal deadline is January 2, 2006, and proposers
will be
notified by January 9, 2006.
Prepared Talk
Information
Prepared talks are 20 minutes, and must center on
“tools” (some cool new
software, software library or integration platform),
“specs” (how to
get the most out of some protocols, or proposals for
new ones), or
“challenges” (One or more big problems we should
collectively address). We will evaluate
proposals on criteria of usefulness,
newness, geekiness, and diversity of topics.
