I just wanted to update the community: I am presenting at code4lib09
conference at Brown University in Rhode Island next week, an OSS
conference dedicated to OSS development for the library community.
Others presenting include those from Library of Congress, National
Library of Australia, National Library of Sweden, The New York Public
Library, Cornell University, State and University Library Denmark,
Johns Hopkins University, etc.
This is a community that has moved away from expensive, closed turnkey
systems to embrace OSS and Web 2.0 (sorry) in all its forms. It has
also started a journal, and a quick look at some of the articles shows some
of the rich activity going on:
- The Rutgers Workflow Management System: Migrating a Digital Object
Management Utility to Open Source
