Re: [CODE4LIB] preconf ideas
Slight derail, but for everyone considering a workshoppy preconf, you might consider using something like http://showterm.io so that people can follow along. -Sean On 11/8/12 8:16 PM, Heidi P Frank h...@nyu.edu wrote: Hi Jason, I'd definitely be interested in the Ruby workshop.

[CODE4LIB] preconf ideas
I have a couple ideas for preconf sessions, but I am wondering whether anyone would be interested in them before further committing by posting one to the wiki.

Re: [CODE4LIB] preconf ideas
Don't know much about either, so can't really lead, but I would definitely be interested in attending either, especially Ruby so that I can learn at least a basic amount.

Re: [CODE4LIB] preconf ideas
I would definitely attend 1. if I am going, which is still a bit iffy I am afraid. Building some web app in a day with RoR would be awfully fun I think. :) Bohyun *Sent from a mobile phone - please excuse the brevity of the message. Bohyun Kim, MA, MSLIS.

Re: [CODE4LIB] preconf ideas
Jason, I think both ideas are excellent. As for the Ruby on Rails intro, the RailsBridge Curriculum mentions an install-fest happening the night before. In the interest of time, I would recommend distributing a VM with all the required software pre-loaded. While part of programming involves setting up one's environment, it will be more inspiring to get right to the fun. -Shaun On 11/8/12 10:12 AM, Jason Ronallo wrote: I have a couple ideas for preconf sessions, but I am wondering whether anyone would be interested in them before further committing by posting one to the wiki.

Re: [CODE4LIB] preconf ideas
HTML5 video seems better suited to a regular presentation slot than to a half-day workshop. I just don't think there is enough content there to fill the half day. It would have to be combined with something else (video editing? video delivery and usability? something else?). -Wilhelmina Randtke On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 12:58 PM, Shaun Ellis sha...@princeton.edu wrote: Jason, I think both ideas are excellent.
