Hi Everyone

The Canterbury National Digital Forum Barcamp is happening on 19 June at Undercroft 101. This is your chance to meet with colleagues from the IT and GLAM sectors, share your ideas and ask questions. Registration for this FREE event is now open http://www.ndf.org.nz/barcamp-registration/

What is it?

An unconference where we plan out sessions on the day. Bring your questions, suggestions, ideas for discussion topics and an open mind.

This year we have guest speaker, Adrian Kingston from Te Papa, coming along. He will talk about what you should consider when collecting digital objects, covering topics like how to handle, catalogue and store digital objects as well as big picture ideas that may factor into policy making decisions.

Murray Quartly from FOCUS 360 will also share his exciting new panoramic app.

The rest of the day is wide open and up to you to shape.

Who is it for?

Anyone who works in the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums), anyone who produces digital media projects for this sector (web developers, app makers etc) or anyone with an interest in these areas.
