Atlanta Digital Libraries Meetup

[Chad Nelson]

Hey y'all

Anyone interested in an occasional informal Atlanta-area digital libraries meetup?  I am! 

Hear what your colleagues at other institutions (or maybe even your own!) are up to, borrow and donate some ideas, and do it all in a friendly and social environment. At least, that's the idea.

So, if you'd like to help (start to) organize, or just want to let me know you be interested in coming, drop me a line,  cnelson17 AT gsu DOT edu or find me on twitter @bibliotechy.

Sure, I would be interested although I'm not actively working with digital libraries at the moment. I am interested in metadata + digital objects and web development related to that. 
Curatecamp sounds really interesting but unfortunately, I can't make it...

Hey there everyone,

I'd love to meetup sometime. How is everyone setup for Teleconferencing? Maybe we could also do occasional unconference?

Hi all,

Glad so many people are interested.

My idea for this meetup had always been unconference-ish, maybe even unconference-lite!

In order to keep the organizing overhead and cost low, and the ability to participate high, I'd suggest we meet in a bar or cafe that has a private meeting room, on a weekday evening once a month, or every other month. This way, no one has to organize (or pay for) the space, or catering, or cleanup, and since they are fairly regular, there are lots of opportunities to attend as well as present. So, really we'd just need two or three people to sign up for presentations each meetup, which I'm happy to coordinate, and then the organizing is done! I think this lightweight approach would help keep the organizing-inertia low, and thus keep these events happening. 

I've been to a few developer meetups at Manuel's Tavern , which has free private rooms that can be booked and has a projector screen (though we'd need to get a projector), which has always been a friendly, laid back atmosphere. The only problem is that it isn't super close to MARTA, so it might be difficult for some to attend. 

If people like the idea, I'll give Manuel's (or somewhere else if you have suggestions) a call, find out when they have spaces free, and try to set something up for mid-late May?

Susan,

Already signed up for CurateCAMP, it sounds like it is going to be a very interesting and a good time!

Would it be possible to skype or stream the meetups for those of us who can't attend?
(I know may is scheduled up for me already...)

Could try. Free wifi, so we can certainly us that to get on skype or a google hangout, though I make no money back guarantees about the quality of that stream! :{(

[robin aka georgiawebgurl]

Sounds great to me. I would appreciate it, especially if we have presentations. Tho I can't do May, I am willing to talk about semantic web stuff or embedded metadata for digital objects (exif, iptc, drm - that sort of thing - if there is interest)...
this is a great idea btw - I've been to a few drupal meetups (& thatcamps & other tech camps) over the years and they are great.
