Today was cool
I was lucky enough to be invited to CRACIN’s conference this afternoon. I got to hear a bit about each of the grad students and their projects and heard a few speakers (some with prepared talks, some off-the-cuff). It made me think differently about Alison’s collaboration with ISF and especially, made me appreciate the good relationship we have so far. I think that the next ISF board meeting would be a good time to invite Alison to come discuss the possible directions of her research with us (as well as being an opportunity for her the board to officially welcome her).
Also, today was a interesting opportunity to see what I might be doing if I continue with a Masters.
On that note - I have told some people at ISF that I’ll be basically taking the next month and a half off (except for the board meeting and few other little things). Time to concentrate on academia.

hi Mike,
It’s Elise here at U of T. We met virtually via this CRACIN grad colloquium. I was wondering if are you are interested in joining us for an informal session re: community networking and libraries while in Ottawa for the CRACIN workshop? In the meantime, I’m going to put on my internet sleuth hat to find your e-mail address…

Hi elise. I was wondering who you were (I responded to your other comment first). I would definitely enjoy talking with you in Ottawa. I’ve been having more discussions with Atwater library regarding orienting themselves to an opensource / micropublishing focus. One of the board members even set up a wiki page on a wiki farm:

Also, they have set up their wireless network with us. Frasier Hickson library in NDG should be next. Westmount Lib was the first one to do it (in september but not with us :( AFAIK they were the first in Canada.

I realized that it’s not my decision to make their wiki public. When you find my email I’ll send it to you.
