Re: Invitation to register - Museum Informatics Day, 4th June, National Railway Museum, York
May 2, 2013 - 4:36pmSounds interesting, and I'd love to be there in person - haven't been to
York in years. I can get a train from London for £35 return, but seeing as
I'm currently funding all such activities out of my own pocket it'll have
to be a very early start or some bargain basement accommodation. Anyone
know of anywhere cheap to stay? [...]

I'm putting together an edition of Museum Practice on Wikipedia, and am really keen to hear from any museums, galleries, historic houses etc as well as individuals who might be interested in speaking to me about their work in this area. Any examples of UK museums hosting a Wiki edit-a-thon would also be welcome. [...]

I'm sure the list members could come up with some great (free) ways to do it.

Many thanks for this. I don't honestly know - we can do the usual live-blogging/tweeting, and I'm very happy for people to participate remotely. If only we had a list of 1000 or so creative technologists who could suggest brilliant ways of bringing everyone together virtually...?

This looks interesting but travel budgets being what they are (ie non-existent) I'm sure there will be a lot of people like me that probably won't be able to come.
How will the discussions be disseminated to the wider community (will it be videoed or blogged?) and is ther anyway in this electronic era that those of us back in the office could participate - questions via Twitter or email?? [...]
