[Web4lib] ACCESS 2006: Hackfest projects wanted!

**  This message has been cross-posted to several lists.  **


Hello from the Access 2006 conference!
http://www.access2006.uottawa.ca/

It's time to submit Hackfest projects!

Following a well-established tradition, Access 2006 invites you to submit
project suggestions for Hackfest 2006, to be held this year in Ottawa,
Ontario, on October 11.  

Hackfest projects can be about nearly anything related to libraries and
online information.  Is there some mashup you want to see that would be
useful in libraries?  Or a new feature in your old system, or some whole new
idealized app that just doesn't exist anywhere yet?  Some new technical
something you maybe can't build yourself but you're sure "somebody should"?


Perfect!  Tell us about it! 

Not every suggestion is used ... and please keep in mind that we're together
for only one short day ... but many are, with the results made public during
the conference.  Sometimes projects even take on a life of their own after
Hackfest!  But you are under no continuing obligation -- just send your idea
and we'll run with it. 

Even if you are not planning to attend Access and Hackfest, submit your
great idea!  Past projects have come from attendees and non-attendees, both.


Please visit http://www.hackfest.ding.ca/ for more information on project
ideas and the submission form; or follow the link from the main Hackfest
page http://www.access2006.uottawa.ca/?page_id=13
