Dear all, The AMIA/DLF Hack Day <http://www.amiaconference.net/amiadlf-hack-day-2014/> is fast approaching! This FREE event on Wednesday, Oct 8 at the Hyatt Regency in Savannah, GA will provide attendees with an opportunity to work intensively together to solve a shared challenge or develop an innovative solution for the audiovisual archiving community. You do not need to have any technical skills to join a project -- just be able to communicate your needs, or bring sample data. Find out about some of the project proposals that have already been submitted through the Hack Day wiki <http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Association_of_Moving_Image_Archivists_%26_Digital_Library_Federation_Hack_Day_2014>, and feel free to add your own! Don't feel like hacking? There will be a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon occurring simultaneously. Everyone is welcome, provided that you are willing to participate! No onlookers, observers, lurkers, please. Registration for the AMIA conference is not required to attend Hack Day. All Hack Day attendees are required to register through a separate form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1P8iQfCPub8abaWGUcl-WGPYnEvr7CxIFKK0dYA3VHaA/viewform> (even if you already signed up when you did your conference registration). Did we mention there will be prizes?! Hope to see you there! -- Kara, Lauren, Steven, and Kathryn
