[CODE4LIB] livefeed /about
I just wanted to also say thanks for the livestream from code4lib Bloomington. The stream, IRC and twitter in combination were *extremely* useful from afar. I missed out on the craft-beers, but at least I got to see them [1], and there's always next year :-) I don't know if the bar has been set, but I think amplifying the conference this way could be a really good option for scaling the conference without requiring the amount of actual participants (and the size of the venue) to increase. It also helps for those who can't pay for the travel lodging when travel budgets are on the wane. Somewhat unrelatedly, I've seen some discussion about the place for galleries, libraries and museums in the code4lib community [2]. Personally (despite its name) I've always thought of code4lib as being about more than just code and libraries. I also noticed that http://code4lib.org didn't have an about page. So I added one [3]. Please help edit it into shape if you care about this sorta thing. //Ed [1] http://twitpic.com/3y0zw5 [2] http://twitter.com/#!/wragge/statuses/35926310920396800 [3] http://code4lib.org/about
