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?

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 wrote: > Wow, this looks like it was a great event.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Northwest meeting report
Wow, this looks like it was a great event. I don't suppose any of the talks were recorded, or that any slides are available? I'm particularly interested in Karen Estlund's talk about NoCode: Digital Preservation of Electronic Records...and well, all of the talks :-) //Ed On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 2:22 PM, Kyle Banerjee wrote: > Code4Lib Northwest was held June 7 at the White Stag building in Portland, > OR. > > Registration was closed and a waiting list established at least a month > before the event because the room capacity of 65 was reached.
