<div dir="ltr">Good afternoon,<div><br></div><div>As we head into the weekend, I'm reminding folks of this opportunity to host the 2024 Hack-A-Way. We've had a few questions but not proposals yet so if you're shy please step forward.

Traditionally we have opened proposals after the conference but we are doing it a little early this year. For those unfamiliar with it, the Hack-A-Way is a much smaller event than the conference and a great way for an organization to host a community event. The Hack-A-Way focuses on providing a means for coders and documentation writers to collaborate in person and plan major projects for the upcoming year. <div><br></div><div>What we need: </div><div><br></div><div><ul style="margin:0px 0px 1.4em;padding:0px 0px 0px 1.5em;list-style:outside square;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><li style="padding:0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 1.5em;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51)">A clean meeting space for 15 - 30 people.</div></li><li style="padding:0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 1.5em;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Working space for laptops.</div></li><li style="padding:0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 1.5em;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51)">A TV, projector or other display.</div></li><li style="padding:0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 1.5em;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Adequate bandwidth for the users.</div></li><li style="padding:0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 1.5em;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51)">A few snacks and forms of hydration and caffeine to keep blood sugar and productivity up.</div></li><li style="padding:0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 1.5em;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Facilitate reasonable hotel accommodations (cheaper is better but no bed bugs).</div></li><li style="padding:0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 1.5em;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Although not required it's become tradition for the host to supply lunches.</div></li></ul><div><font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">If your organization is interested please contact me with details of your proposal.</span></font></div></div><div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#000000" size="1"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Rogan Hamby (he/him/his), MLIS</span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="Arial"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Data and Project Manager</span></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Equinox Open Library Initiative</span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="Arial"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">rogan.hamby@equinoxOLI.org</span></font></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="Arial"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">1-770-709-5570 x5570</span></font></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="Arial"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"><a href="http://www.equinoxOLI.org" target="_blank">www.equinoxOLI.org</a></span></font></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="Arial"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></font></p></font></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
