Hi all, After a month off, it's time for another code4lib Ottawa meetup! Date: Wednesday June 13th, 5pm Location: The Exchange Pub, 50 Rideau Street (entrance inside the Rideau Centre) The reservation is under "Warren / code4lib" and the reserved room is downstairs. We'll start with a short recap of the code4lib North unconference in Windsor followed by a few lightning talks (about 5 minutes each). Anyone who wants to demo what they're currently working on or talk about something interesting related to libraries and technology is encouraged to take the floor. An HDTV with an HDMI input is available if you want to show something on screen. We already have some volunteers: * Developers from the Ottawa Public Library will give us a quick preview of the API to their BiblioCommons catalogue. The API will be publicly available this fall. * William Wueppelmann will talk about what's going on at Canadiana.org and how they host and manage their huge digital collection and their efforts to achieve certification as a Trusted Digital Repository (TDR). * Mary Beth Baker will talk about the local tech scene in Ottawa and the potential for collaboration. Afterward, we'll have our usual social gathering. If possible, please send an RSVP to [log in to unmask] if you wish to attend and/or present a lightning talk. See you at the meetup! Cheers, Warren Layton
