[Mahendra Mahey]

Open Biblio OKFN / OpenGLAM OKFN / DevCSI Hackathon Event, 12th-14th
June, 2012, London.

DevCSI (http://devcsi.ukoln.ac.uk) is organising an event together
with the Open Biblio Project (http://openbiblio.net/) / Open GLAM
(http://openglam.org/) and OKFN (http://okfn.org/) around the area of
Hacking around Bibliographic data and related tools between the 12th
to 14th of June in London. The event is for software developers and
those interested in Bibliographic data. The event will be free.

If you are interested in this area could you please email and let us
know what areas you are interested in (or just generally interested in
this area) and we will then let you know when the booking form is
open.

We are in the midst of planning this event and are gauging interest in
the community so we can plan numbers.

More information about the event below:

It aims to bring together software developers, project
managers,librarians and experts particularly in the area of
Bibliographic Data. Hack days are a place for like minded people to
get together, to have an opportunity to discuss issues relevant in the
area, experiment in a focused way on prototyping systems and even
hacking them together. It also aims for people to explore current ways
of doing things and how they could be improved.

We are hoping that people will come together to form small teams/
groups, to discuss issues, work on paper/real prototypes, datasets,
APIs.

The event will culminate in a series of presentations from the teams
in terms of the work they have carried out. We may even provide a
prize to the best ideas to develop them further.




Thanks for you co-operation.
