Please take a moment to share your slides from your presentation or workshop at MW2008. You've got a couple of options.

• attach them to a Discussion posting in the MW2008 forum (click on file attachments at the end of creating a message, and upload your files to the site.
• put them on slideshare, tagged with mw2008 of course (and then post a note to say where they are)

Got any other ideas? post a comment here to let us all know.

Thanks!

The first of the papers for MW2008 are now on-line. Take a moment to review some of the work that will be presented at the conference, April 9-12, 2008, in Montréal, Canada. It represents some of the most adventurous activity on-line.

in the second session of the tagging workshop ...

I'm in Banff this week, at the www2007 meeting. i'm on the program committee for the tagging workshop that is taking place today, and will stay for a bit to see what the technical side of the web is thinking. These are my notes from the things that i've attended (or wish i could attend)...

i am at the annual UK museums and the web conference http://www.museumscomputergroup.org.uk/meetings/2-2006.shtml (no affiliation with our MW conferences), where i have just given the keynote presentation, following Simon Waldman of the Guardian Unlimited. Simon -- who has been with the on-line edition of the paper since 1999, wandered through The New Content Landscape, drawing some useful parallels between publishing a newspaper on-line and making cultural content accessible in the networked space. I was intrigued to hear him struggling with the realization that they had accumulated a significant legacy of on-line content, and that a full 1/3 of their traffic was to stories more than 3 months old. A big challenge for an organization attuned to recreating the view of the wold every day.
