Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Northwest meeting report
Event was not recorded, but I'm sure a shoutout for slides will generate some nice stuff to link to. Note to self: in future, it might not be a bad idea to copy slides to a flash drive after each presentation kyle On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 7:29 PM, Ed Summers e...@pobox.com wrote: Wow, this looks like it was a great event.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Northwest meeting report
A couple of presenters have already added links to their presentation slides on the Schedule page at: http://groups.google.com/group/pnwcode4lib/web/code4lib-northwest-2010 Perhaps we could encourage other presenters to do this as well?
