== CURATEcamp Hackfest ==
* Description: Coming to code4lib to write code? Want to hack on a team full of coders you might not have worked with before? Interested in digital curation? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest? See Roy Tennant's [http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA332564.html "Where Librarians Go To Hack"] and the page for the [http://access2010.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3 Access 2010 Hackfest]. I propose a full-day hackfest with a focus on the domains of digital curation, preservation, and repositories. Here's how it works, roughly: we assemble in the morning and do some whiteboarding, mostly to gauge folks' interests and jot down project ideas; then we separate into teams and hack on stuff for the rest of the day and present our progress at the end. Not a hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable!
* Duration: full-day
* Speaker Bio: Mike Giarlo will not be a speaker but is proposing this session and will be on the hook for finding an experienced hackfest facilitator to move things along.
* Contact: Mike Giarlo (michael at psu.edu)
