Hi, I'm a library engineer in Japan. I attended this year's Code4Lib conference. The conference was fascinating at all and I really enjoyed it, though that was my first time code4lib experience. And then, yesterday we organized a workshop on "Trip reports for Code4Lib 2010, and more" at Tokyo[1]. The purpose of our workshop was intended to share our experience in the #c4l10 conference, and to advance Japanese library community in such code4lib things. The workshop ended up successfully. Three presentations and five lightning talks were made. There are 30 attendees in total from developers for library apps on web&mobile, as well as librarians. Additionally the workshop was streamed online at Ustream, which was viewed by at least 30 people, and got conversations on Twitter (#c4l10jp & #c4libjp). Archived recording videos are available on Ustream.tv[2]. There was also a proposal from Makoto Okamoto (@arg) for "Code4Lib JAPAN Conference" in November, in conjunction with annual Library Fair in Yokohama. And he also proposed "Code4Lib JAPAN Camp" in December. I wish to see you on the next report and at the conference next year!
