C4L MDC Meetings in 2011
 
==September 13, 2011==
'''Tuesday, 13 September, 2011 10-11.20ish at [http://library.arlingtonva.us/Departments/Libraries/LibrariesMain.aspx Arlington Public Library Central Branch] in Arlington, VA'''
 
With representatives present from Public, Academic, and Special Libraries, this looked to be a great start to rejuvenating the Chapter. (School Librarians, come out and play!) We had a great discussion about Linked Data. We reaffirmed that we'll hold quarterly meetings, and that doing so regularly will help keep things rolling. We hope to have diverse subjects to explore to keep everyone's interest. We'll hold off on formal governance until a larger group necessitates formality.
 
The Martin Luther King Library in the District would like help with [http://wikidc.org/wiki/Library_Lab Library Lab DC] if anyone would like to participate in that endeavour. This is also a wonderful place to go if you're looking for spot to house open collaboration.
 
There were a couple of interesting meetings and events to attend that we shared with one another.
