A jubilant mid-Thursday to you all. This is a mildly beseeching follow-up to Gary Thompson's September 19th participant call for the 2017 Code4Lib Conference.
The conference will be held in the Los Angeles area next February or March. Venue and dates are being negotiated and the Local Planning Committee imminently expects to announce specifics. In advance of finalization, we still need folk to volunteer for a few high-priority committees. If you have a particular skill or interest, please contact the coordinators listed below. No prior experience or attendance at a Code4Lib conference is required. This is a preposterously convivial opportunity to get involved and introduce yourself to the community.
