Reminder - Code4Lib 2008 Proposals Due Soon

Hi all,

Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for submitting
talk
proposals for Code4Lib 2008 is coming up.  I have included
the
original CFP below that was sent to this list.  The
conference is a great learning and networking experience.
It's also great fun.  I'm hoping for another great
conference this time and to see some more great talks.  If
you're doing something with technology and libraries, give
it a shot.

Original CFP:
============================================================
===========
We are now accepting proposals for prepared talks for
Code4lib 2008.
Code4lib 2008 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-like format. It is *the* event for
technologists building
digital libraries and digital information systems, tools,
and software.

The conference will be held February 25-28, 2008 in Portland
Oregon. More
information can be found at <http://code4
lib.org/conference/2008>.

Prepared talks are 20 minutes, and must focus on one or more
of the
following areas:
- "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)
- "challenges" (one or more big problems we should
collectively address).

The community will vote on proposals using the criteria of:
- usefulness
- newness
- geekiness
- diversity of topics.

We cannot accept every prepared talk proposal, but multiple
lightning talk
sessions will provide everyone who wishes to present with an
opportunity to
do so.

Please send your name, email address, and proposal of no
more than 75 words
to code4libcon at googlegroups.com. The proposal deadline is
November 30,
2007, and proposers will be notified by December 14, 2007.
