> 
> Code4Lib 2017 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people
> working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums/cultural
heritage
> and technology with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and forge
> collaborations. For more information about the Code4Lib community, please
> visit http://code4lib.org/about/.
> 
> The conference will be held at the Luskin Conference Center at UCLA
> http://luskinconferencecenter.ucla.edu/, from March 6, 2017 - March 9,
> 2017.  More information about Code4lib 2017 will be coming soon.
> 
> We encourage all members of the community to submit a proposal for a
> prepared talk. Prepared talks should focus on one or more of the following
> areas:
> 
> -Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of
> existing technologies and/or development of new software
> - Tools and technologies - How to get the most out of existing tools,
> standards, and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)
> - Technical issues - Big issues in library technology that are worthy of
> community attention or development
> - Relevant non-technical issues - Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib
> community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration,
> diversity, organizational challenges, etc.
> 
> This year, in order to provide increased opportunities for a diversity of
> speakers and topics, we'll be soliciting 10, 15, and 20 minute talks.
You'll be
> asked to indicate which talk lengths you would be willing to accommodate
for
> your proposal. We are also considering holding a poster session at this
year's
> conference. If you would be interested in presenting your topic as a
poster,
> please indicate so on the form.
> https://goo.gl/forms/GbM0jmSdXFkRdHAr2
> 
> In addition to "traditional" presentations and posters, we plan to include
a
> panel session this year. If you have a topic you'd like to suggest for a
panel,
> and are willing to work with the Program Committee to organize / recruit
for
> the session, please use the following form.
> https://goo.gl/forms/q2KbVcO4ntkh6bPp1
> 
> As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they
> would like to see included in the program. The top 10 proposals are
> guaranteed a slot of their preferred length at the conference. The Program
> Committee will curate the remainder of the program in an effort to ensure
> diversity in program content and presenters. Community votes will, of
> course, still weigh heavily in these decisions.
> 
> Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will
> have conference registration slots held for them (up to 2 speakers per
talk).
> In addition, panel participants will have registration slots held. The
standard
> conference registration fee will apply.
> 
> Proposals can be submitted through November 7, 2016 at midnight PST
> (GMT-8). Voting will start on November 16, 2016 and continue through
> December 7, 2016. The URL to submit votes will be announced on the
> Code4Lib website and mailing list and will require an active code4lib.org
> account to participate. The final list of presentations will be announced
in
> December.
