Welcome to the current home of the New England "chapter" of Code4Lib.
My friends, let's get something started, eh?
What?
TBD. Suggest some Topics.
- Should we have a one-day hack-a-thon, or more of a slideware event thing? Whatever facilities we procure could have an effect on this decision in terms of wifi, seating, available projector, etc.
When?
Please let us know when works for you, at: http://whenisgood.net/necode4lib/2008
Also TBD.
- I'm thinking mid-November or early December. I would prefer a weekday over a Saturday but would be OK with either. -- jayl
- I'd suggest a monday or friday so people coming from a distance only have to take one day off from work - ecorrado
Where?
Also TBD. Suggest some Locations below. Something not too hard to get to for folks in all corners of the N.E. area would be best
- Somewhere in Western Mass (a.k.a. 413; a.k.a. Northampton, MA; a.k.a Hamp) - This would work best for me, the further West, the more likely I can make it (ecorrado)
- I can probably offer free space in our Concord NH campus with good network and projectors, though I realize that may be too far north for some --Casey
- Somewhere in the Boston area
- Portland, Maine, of course. Where else? LibraryThing will buy donuts.
- I could suggest New Haven, but it isn't exactly a central location for this group. --dlovins
- +1 for Portland, ME. I might be able to arrange meeting space at the U of Southern Maine if this is a viable location. --jonvw
- Forbes Library during their business hours
- Possibly one of the Five Colleges?
- Elsewhere? Add to this list... @ Who?
