[CODE4LIB] BarCampOhio and LibraryCampOhio, August 11, 2008

[Peter Murray]

In conjunction with Bob Roberson-Boyd at OCLC, I'm pleased to announce plans for a BarCampOhio/LibraryCampOhio meeting on Monday, August 11th from 10am to 5:30pm at the OCLC Conference Center in Dublin, OH. Two camp communities! One day! All of the details, include stuff not covered below, are on the event homepage. What’s planned is a dual-track unconference of business technologists and library technologists. Why? We think there is synergy between these groups:

Library technologists have:

Strong roots in all of our communities
A couple decades of experience dealing with massive amounts of data
Great sensitivity to privacy and identity management on a limited scale
Business technologists have:


Have a get-it-done-NOW need
Typically have more marketing experience and/or resources
