[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Code4Lib 2016 events

I'm working with a few member organizations who'd like to integrate with
their respective content management systems in order to present their
collections to non-specialist, general interest audiences through their
branded website, as well offer the means to further enrich resources
outside of the DACS paradigm.

That said, easy enough to rough out with your favorite HTTP
client/framework (Guzzle, for example) and the ASpace API, especially by
passing values into search parameters. (Haven't toyed with querying the
index directly.)

I don't recall, is there an "integration" advisory committee?
