I'm thinking that we could do with having an event in the UK that is about bringing together interested people and doing interesting stuff with libraries and technology.
The kind of thing I'm thinking of is along the lines of the recent 'Mashed Museums' event which Mike Ellis blogged about at http://electronicmuseum.org.uk/2008/06/27/mashed-museum-2008/
I'm also inspired by the annual 'Hackfest' that happens in conjunction with the 'Access' conference in Canada, and the various Barcamp and Unconference events that spring up quite regularly now.
If this sounds interesting, and you would be interested in coming along if I get something going, why not leave a comment on my blog post about it:
