by I’ve been posting this on Facebook and Twitter – it’s time I said something here too. I’m really excited to be working with colleagues to bring the first Code4Lib Great Eastern conference together! I’ve attended Code4Lib North and thought it’s time to bring together the techy folk on the east coast for a similar experience.
Code4Lib Great Eastern will run May 26-27 at the Killam Library at Dalhousie University in Halifax. It is rather unconferencey in feel and definitely in price. You should come – it’s free – just sign up here! The first day will be a mix of short presentations (20 minutes) and lightening talks (5 minutes) and the second day is Hackfest. You can find details here. Tell us about neat projects you’re working on or want to work on – simply put your topic on the wiki. The day really relies on participation, so be sure to sign up.
As the first get-together, I’m hoping we can get people interested in keeping this moving forward. Come with ideas on how you’d like to see Code4Lib Great Eastern grow into a thriving community!
