2007/10/18 Proposed Agenda
ø
The fabulous speaker Erica and j were trying to line up for tonight didn’t quite workout. However, if we end the meeting promptly at 8 pm, we might be able to catch her at Grasshopper in Allston for dessert.
Instead, Brett can tell us how Pecha Kucha 2 went and j can ask questions about corporate blogs and wikis for a presentation she’s giving Wednesday.
Upcoming events of interest:
- PodCamp, October 26-28
- FOSSCamp, October 27-28
- BarCamp Boston, not in October
- See the Berkman Calendar for upcoming Berkman stuff.
- Feel free to publicize related events here! Let Erica or j know, comment, or add them yourself if you have an editor account.
Various upcoming & potential stuff on our schedule:
- 10/18: Maybe a cool techie librarian will stop by
- Second Life – 1) a guided tour + how-to session | 2) a debate on it. Good? Bad? Both?
- Dan Bricklin, known for his work on VisiCalc and wikiCalc
