What's Code4Lib?

The Code4Lib conference is a loosely structured camp/conference for library technologists to commune, gather/create/share ideas and software, be inspired, and forge collaborations. It is *the* event for technologists building digital libraries and digital information systems, tools, and software.

OSS Web-based cataloging tool

with Chris Catalfo - Programmer, LibLime
Wednesday, Feb 27 • 9:45-10:05

This presentation introduces a new open source, web-based cataloging application, started for the 2007 Google Summer of Code and currently developed at LibLime. It provides a full featured, customizable, fast application for original and copy cataloging. It uses the ExtJS user interface toolkit, Google Gears for local storage of bibliographic records, PazPar2 for searching multiple Z39.50 servers, and it will feature an integrated Jabber client for exchanging records.

Git: Lightening Talk at Code4Lib

with Galen Charlton - Koha Application Developer, LibLime
Lightening Talk at Code4Lib

Git is a distributed revision control system created in 2005 and is
most notably used by the Linux kernel project. In mid-2007, Git was adopted by the Koha open source ILS project, replacing CVS.

Galen will discuss Git's distributed repository model and the Koha developers' experience adjusting to it, then end with some speculation about how decentralized information exchange applies to library metadata by playing with the metaphor of LC as a central CVS repository.
