The PRIX ARS ELECTRONICA were announced yesterday, and steve.museum received an honorary mention in the Digital Communities category.

Jennifer mentioned in her blog entry last week that I'll be helping out with managing Archives & Museum Informatics' 1275+ member on-line community at http://conference.archimuse.com, as part of my position with the company. Well, in case you didn't know, we use Drupal, an amazing open source content management platform, to run this site. However, considering how powerful Drupal is, it is admittedly rather complex to a non-techie Museum Studies grad like myself.

 David and i are delighted to announce that Nick Gamble has joined Archives & Museum Informatics as Conference Manager.

A recent graduate of the University of Toronto's Museum Studies program, you might remember Nick as a volunteer at MW2008 in Montreal.

As well as working on future Museums and the Web conferences, Nick will be helping out with the manaement of our 1275+ member on-line community at http://conference.archimuse.com, adding to the on-line bibliography of cultural heritage informatics sources, and putting more of our past publications on-line.

For those who are interested in social tagging, or who might have missed the Community Engagement session at MW2008, I have uploaded my slides "Seeing Tibetan Art through Social Tags" along with audio track to Slideshare:
