Some DPLA Community Reps put together a hackathon planning guide last fall (
http://dp.la/info/2014/10/07/dpla-community-reps-produce-hackathon-planning-guide-now-available/).
It was based in part on some notes I made after planning a hackathon for
the Texas Digital Library las spring, which was

It's a bit of a hack, but you could write a script to delete all the
metadata from images with ExifTool and then run checksums on the resulting
image (see http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php?topic=4902.0).
exiv2 might also work. I don't think you'd want to do that every time
Siobhan,
I teach a course on digital curation tools and applications for the
University of North Texas, and one of the motivational pieces I use is the
Digital Curation Centre's chapter on Open Source and Digital Curation by
Andrew McHugh in the Digital Curation Manual (2005):
of Academic
Librarianship 34(1), 72-73.
The Cocciolo article is good, but I wish the title were different.

Different communities have different benefits.

they can then populate the display value of fields with strings. I've been
giving them this scenario for about 4 years now, and they're sold. This

5 days until the Hacking DPLA at TCDL event! Are you ready?
We currently have about 20 people interested in coming to the event, and
it's promising to be great! The organizers would like to get to know a bit
more about you, so if you're planning to attend, we'd love it if you'd

I worked a lot with GATE in a previous position (not in a library, but in a
research position at the Univ. of Texas at Austin). It's handy in that
there is both a UI version (GATE Developer) and a set of APIs (GATE

fact that

I want to thank Karen and Wilhelmina especially for continuing this
discussion.
I've never attended a Code4Lib (though I did once offer to help organize
one in Austin). This conversation is making me more willing to spend my own
money to attend one.

Normally a lurker, but I thought I'd point out that this is how SxSW
Interactive works. Voting is one part of the decision-making process, but
organizers have a lot of latitude to adjust the results to get the best
diversity of presentations. They also leave some slots free for

As you probably know, you can compress PDFs by compressing or flattening
the layers (most useful for born-digital materials, such as artwork) or by
applying a compression algorithm to the underlying images for PDFs
assembled from digitized images, which seems to be what you're doing.

I've had many conversations on the subject of CAPTCHAs with consultants in
our Talking Book division. Like it or not, many webmasters who insist on
using visual CAPTCHAs (often in combination with JavaScript) are turning

My (much more primitive) version of the same thing involves reading and
annotating articles using my Tablet PC. Although I do get a variety of print
publications, I find I don't tend to annotate them as much anymore. I used

For institutions that catalog digital objects in MARC or link to digital

I'm coming late to this discussion because I was out all last week, but this is
something I could approach the folks at the Texas Digital Library about.
They've set up an Open Journals system and are currently hosting JoDI. See
