I’d like to remind HER Forum members about the session the IfA’s Information Management Special Interest Group (IMSIG) is planning for the IfA Conference this year. We are organising something a bit different a BarCamp rather than a formal session where those present will demonstrate what they are working on and discuss. We would welcome some HER involvement. If you’re interested please sign up by editing our wiki page explaining what you’d like to bring or discuss. On the day we’ll then be able to divide attendees up into small groups interested in and that area hopefully HERs will be one of these. The session will though be fluid and delegates will be able to drop in and out of a group or the session as a whole as they like. This is about participation rather than listening to presentations and you can start participating now!
Step1
Visit the wiki at http://ifa-information-management-sig.wikispaces.com/IMSIG+Barcamp and take a look at what’s there
Step 2
Edit the wiki saying what you’re going to bring to the session (no need to join or sign in).
Step 3
Go to the participants page (link on the left) and sign up to attend.
It’s that simple!
The session should grow organically from now until the conference, hopefully this will be very different to normal IfA Conference session and something we’ll all get a lot out of.
This really is open to all from professional software developers through to university projects, so please spread the word.
Regards
Martin
