Hi,
Yale hosted a C4L New England event a couple of years back (http://wiki.code4lib.org/NECode4lib_2012_Home). I was on the planning committee - it was fun and I know I learned a lot. It was good to have a local event that folks could go to.
The nice thing is that for an event like this to happen, we only need a few people willing to work on it, and a little luck in finding an institution to back it. (And of course a two-day event like the one we had at Yale is by no means the right/best/only format - there are lots of other ways that Code4Lib could take shape in New England / the northeast.)

Hi Matt,
Thanks for posting - I'm new-ish to Code4Lib, and in Western MA. Would be
excited to see more NE activity.

Hi Matt-
We have stuff going in Code4LibNYC, but I'd be happy to help get something
going on in the Northeast.
Thanks!

While riffing on an old DC comics title the subject line is my question.
I've been working in Connecticut for a little over a year now and I have
heard of nothing going on with Code4Lib in this part of the US. I find
this sad since I see all sorts of activity in a variety of other spots,
particularly in my old beloved midwest stomping grounds. So I was
wondering if anyone knows why the Code4Libbers in the northeast have been
so quiet? Is the communication being done in some back channel or are
there not many of us out in this part of the US? I am just curious as I
would love to touch base, collaborate, and learn from other folks in the
community.
