ArchivesGeekFest

Fredericton, New Brunswick (June 11, 2008)

A barcamp for Archivists. A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. They are designed to be fast-paced, intensive, fun events with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.

ArchivesGeekFest will be a laid-back event designed for archivists interested in IT and digital culture to hang out, exchange ideas and have some geeky fun. There is no minimum IT experience requirement, alpha-geeks and wannabe-geeks are equally welcome. The only requirement is that you are expected to participate in some manner, whether that is doing a brief presentation, blogging about the event, facilitating a brainstorming group, etc..

Agenda

TO BE DETERMINED BY PARTICIPANTS: if you have registered for the ArchivesGeekFest please feel free to revise any of the content on this page (see instructions at bottom of pages).

First order of business when ArchivesGeekFest convenes is to decide on the agenda as a group so that we can structure the activities as best suits our collective interests.

Morning: 9:30 - 12ish

Lunch: 12ish - 2:00

Afternoon: 2:00pm - 5ish

Suggested Activities

1. Google intros
1. Google one of the other participants and introduce them to the group.
2. Review/revise agenda
3. Battledecks/PowerPoint Kareoke
1. what is Battledecks/Powerpoint Kareoke? Someone prepares a PowerPoint deck of random or related slides. No more than 10. Usually from some obscure, pre-existing presentation. Another person who has never seen the presentation before, pretends its theirs and 'sells it' to the audience. The hilarity ensues as the presenter tries to keep some coherent message to the whole thing without knowing what slide will pop-up next. Two presentations/presenters. Audience votes for winner. Winner gets lame prize (e.g. stuffed toy unicorn).
2. a great example from DemoCampVancouver03: http://www.video.ca/video.php?id=1366004857
4. Archives & Computing pop quiz
1. Someone prepares a multi-choice quiz related to Archives & Computing (e.g. What does MARC21 stand for? How many columns in a Hollerith punch-card? How many descriptions are there on the Archives Canada portal? What was the first archival institution in Canada with a computer? with a website?). All participants take quiz. Highest score gets a lame prize.
5. Archives & IT Lightning Talks
1. short 10-15 min presentations
2. PowerPoint, demos and/or just a steady stream of chatter
3. audience feedback/questions during presentation
4. possible topics: "Look, my IT rules!", "Help!, my IT sucks!", digitization projects, putting databases online, web exhibits, archives information system upgrades, electronic records preservation, e-records systems RFPs, blogging, why GoogleBooks is evil or good, what I learned at conference/course xyz, etc.
5. please propose more... (nothing formal expected, feel free to use something directly from work, a good way to get feedback on existing, in-progress projects)
6. Hackfest/Group Brainstorm Projects - break up into groups, report back at end of afternoon
1. eg, fun: functional requirements for the world's worst Archives IT system/website (hint: good way to figure out what the ideal system is by flipping it around)
2. eg, geekie: add a GoogleMap mashup to your online archival descriptions
3. eg, serious: let's solve this pesky little appraisal of electronic records problem, once and for all.
4. please propose more (nothing formal expected, feel free to use something from work, a good way to get feedback and actual work done on existing, in-progress projects)
