Hi all,

This event that is part of a competition for people to suggest ways of
mashing up and remixing data in our state and national library collections.

Looks intriguing. I will be going along.

You can register online. I know some of the folk from AWIA who will be
providing support on the day and they are wonderful  to learn with.

Cheers,

To join us for a hackfest open day at the State Library of Western Australia
on Sunday 10 April between 11am and 4pm, and be part of the national
Libraryhack, just complete the form below and press submit. We need to keep
track of the numbers attending.

The national Libraryhack competition invites people to create mashups and
apps using publicly available and reusable data. Re-mix library datasets and
create new content, or re-purpose them and build new apps, and be in the
running to win a great prize. The datasets for use can be found at:
http://libraryhack.org/data/

Come to the State Library for a taster session and start thinking about what
you might create to be able to enter the national competition. We'll have
mashing experts and specialists from the Australian Web Industry Association
on hand to help you navigate your way through the wealth of info released
for mashups.

There will be computers available for use on the day, but you can also bring
along your own laptops, notebooks and iPads as there will be free wifi
access and join in the fun at the Discovery Lounge on the ground floor at
the State Library.
