Code4Lib 2009 talks announced 2008 December 8
The results of the voting for the 22 “regular” presentations at Code4Lib 2009 have been announced. There are also three keynotes (Stefano Mazzocchi, Sebastian Hammer, and Ian Davis) along with lightning talks and pre-conferences. Code4Lib 2009, which will be held Monday February 23 (pre-conference) – Thursday February 26 at the Renaissance Providence (RI) Hotel is shaping up to be another great conference. Below are the 22 talks that were voted in, in alphabetical order. It is a shame that we didn’t have more room, because some of the talks that missed the cut were excellent topics. Hopefully the people that submitted them will still come to the conference and do lightning talks. I am happy to report that one of them, The Open Platform Strategy: what it means for library developers, is going to be presented by yours truly.
