The following announcement describes a LODLAM (linked open data in libraries archives and museums) training day taking place at a Semantic Web conference during August and located in San Jose (California). Linked open data is apropos to our communities, and I’m spreading the word. (I guess I ought to break down and make my reservations.) —Eric Morgan
We’re excited to announce that registration is now open for LODLAM
Training Day 2014 at the 10th Annual Semantic Technology & Business
Conference (SemTechBiz), August 19, 2014 in San Jose, California. We
have an amazing lineup of hands on training sessions with LODLAM
practitioners from around the world. Thanks to the generosity of our
friends at SemTechBiz, the all-day workshop series is available at the
ridic price of $75, and you can even upgrade to attend the whole
conference--at half off!
Registration is limited and will be first come first serve. Please
spread the word--all are welcome and both morning and afternoon streams
are aimed at all levels of users, and even if you come in knowing
nothing about LODLAM, you'll walk away with ways to get started using
open source tools. If you already have experience, you'll have an
opportunity to hone your skills and work with other practitioners.

Special thanks to everyone who stepped up to lead sessions and help
organize, and especially to Eric Franzon at SemTechBiz for making this
possible! And feel free to give me a shout if you have any questions.
