Just a request for ideas and suggestions for a Drupal4Lib BoF at ALA in Chicago. Time is marching on!

Last year in Anaheim, we had a fine get-together. A number of people presented projects they were working on and we had a general discussion on implementing Drupal in a library environment.

Here's my write-up: http://chicagolibrarian.com/node/289

ALA CHICAGO

This year we're in Chicago (my home town!) so I'm really looking forward to repeating the event here.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, if you'd like to present something or if there's a theme or topic you’d like to investigate, please leave a comment

TIME & PLACE?

I had a look at the conference program and time-wise, it looks like the the most conflict-free time-slots (yes, I know, famous last words) are: Sat. 3:30pm-5:00pm; Sun. 1:30-3:00; Sun. 3:30p-5:00pm.

If there are no obviously conflicts, I'll put these up in a poll so people can vote on their favorite time-slot.

We'll also have to find a location. I can bring a laptop and projector so basically any place with juice will do.

IDEAS & SUGGESTIONS

I imagine this to be a relatively informal, fun and rewarding get-together. It'll be great to get together.

Tell me what you think!

Comments

Sounds good!

Some friends and I just left the Chicago Technology Cooperative to form a new startup aimed at nonprofits and other do-gooders; I'd love to come by and see what others are working on. If there's enough interest, I'd love to organize more of a BoF presence at the next DrupalCamp Chicago, too. How many people would be interested in a BoF at the ALA?

Sunday 3:30-5:00 works best for me. Where is the poll?

Sorry

See above.

Count me in.

As long as one doesn't need to register for the ALA conference to participate, that is. (I just go to exhibits and get-togethers.) Any of the suggested Sat or Sun times is fine with me.
