Code4Lib 2014 Committees

If you are interested in helping out with a particular part of the Code4Lib 2014 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (called 'committees' for lack of a better term). Each committee should select a committee lead that will coordinate the activities of the committee and its work with the hosting site. Discussions of a non-sensitive nature should take place on the Code4LibCon mailing list for transparency and future reference. Please feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees.

We hope to include at least one local person on each committee.

A Code4Lib 2014 Google Calendar is available with all proposed deadlines if you would like to add it to your personal calendar. It has been shared with code4libcon and code4lib2014 google groups.

The Code42014 Conference Committee meets bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 11am EDT. If you would like to join the calls or have an agenda item, email one or both of the co-Leads: Emily Lynema (NCSU) and Tim McGeary (UNC).
