* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? 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 -- think stuff like CDL's microservices, Hydra, Fedora, etc. 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 code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! (Wiki space will be made in advance of the hackfest so participants Participants may begin kicking around ideas[[2011 CURATEcamp Hackfest Ideas]].)

=== VIVO BootCampBoot Camp===

This bootcamp boot camp will be run by members of the NIH/NCRR funded VIVO network and will focus on four components including, a an overview of what VIVO is and how it can help researchers, an installation walk-through, how VIVO faculty works (its ontology, visualization functionality, and user interface), and future directions for the project (e.g. profile data re-use (web services for linked data queries to populate content management and profile systems in CMSs such as Drupal and Joomla!), the VIVO core ontologyfederated search, and a separate discussion session on the needs libraries have for faculty expertise systems and their value for institutional repositoriesetc.).

* Description: The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference "Wikipedia entry for unconference"] will give you a good idea what to expect. An "unconference" is "a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose." These unconferences came up from the hacker world (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcamp "BarCamp"]) as a way to avoid high conference fees and sponsored presentations. Unconferences are not spectactor events, nor are they places to "be seen." Participants are involved from the schedule creation to the wrap-up session, and actively present, discuss, and collaborate with fellow participants. In recent years, [http://thatcamp.org/ "THATCamp (The Humanities and Technology Camp)"] has become a popular incarnation of the *camp gathering. In general, check your papers at the door, and just be ready to talk about the work you’re doing, the work you want to do, how you might collaborate with others. Think of it like a conference entirely made up of [[2011_Breakout_Sessions | breakout sessions]], but with some unifying theme. Or not. It depends on you.<br /><br />Now, how will we run an unconference in three hours and in one room? Carefully. I propose a rough schedule of 30 minutes for discussion-of-topics, then three 45-minute bursts of discussions, followed by 15 minutes of wrap-up. As this is all user-generated, it's all up for change in that first 30 minutes. We can have as many concurrent bursts-of-discussion as will fit in the one room, and that would also allow greater flexibility for wandering between groups.<br /><br />This is actually a compressed micro preconference unconference, that should--if all goes according to plan--produce a really fun, interesting, collaborative time, as well as a model that could be taken back to our own workplaces.<br /><br />'''Please''' contact the organizer with questions as well as any ideas for conversations you might want to have; will update this entry accordingly.
