Re: [CODE4LIB] Evergreen/Koha meetup?
Hi, So, Chris Sharp, Ben Shum and Anoop Atre are keen to host a Evergreen/Koha birds of a feather dinner Wednesday night. Let's tentatively say meet in the lobby at 6pm. We'll figure out a place to go that isn't too far, has tasty food and drink and will accommodate people's food preferences. Sign up on the wiki, so we know how many we need to make a reservation for: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2012_c4l2012_social_activities#Evergreen.2FKoha_and_friends_dinner_Wednesday I know the Amazon Tech open house is going on that time, but it seems like the best time. Maybe folks can join us after for a quick bite before the beer tasting workshop. Looking forward to meeting folks in person! tara On 12-02-04 10:32 AM, todd.d.robb...@gmail.com wrote: Tara, I'm interested.

[CODE4LIB] Code4lib wordles by Chris Beer
For those who don't know. Chris Beer van WGBH created very interesting wordles code4lib program proposals and talks starting from 2008. http://blog.cbeer.info/2011/code4lib-talk-wordles/ Usual words (library, education) are unavoidable. It's interesting to see the slight differences between the proposals and the actual talks. ranti. -- Bulk mail. Postage paid.
