So, the idea is to have a reasonably informal event at which we try to do interesting stuff with library technology and/or data. This ning site is to float some ideas, gather some feedback, and eventually support the event.

I'm going to post my initial ideas about the organisation of the day including:

• Structure
• Venue
• Date
• Services/APIs/Systems/Technology/Data that we could use
• Things that we might do on the day

I've setup a forum for each of these areas, so you can comment and we can refine the ideas. I want to get the venue and date sorted, so I'll try and move these on quickly.

Let's do it!

The tag for the event is mashlib08 if you want to use on posts, tweets, etc.

With 30 years of close engagement with libraries, UKOLN is pleased to sponsor the Mashed Library event.
