Re: [CODE4LIB] Embedded metadata/image importer for PowerPoint 2010

[Reser, Gregory]

That's great to hear Kari. I have also been testing a simpler import tool using 
just the five basic Dublin Core fields found in most photo applications. If you 
only need to import the basics for a web gallery, it might be easier. Let me 
know and I can share it.

On that note, we also have guidelines for using the five most common DC fields 
to describe artworks.

Re: [CODE4LIB] makerspaces in libraries workshp

[Paul Butler (pbutler3)]

Instead of offering a single project for the entire class to do, how about 
creating several stations, each with a different type of project?  Something 
old school like soldering, a Pi, a 3-D printer, paper craft, etc...  You could 
cannibalize your home/shop for the tech. Allows for different types of 
learner/interests.  And adds welcomed chaos!

I'd make sure to mention that this does *not* have to be high-tech.

Our library runs jewelry-making workshops, and some of the local
churches have knitting circles / quilting bees so there can be a 
social component of 'making'.  They've never considered this to be
'makerspaces', but it fits the description.

If it were me, depending on how much time you had, I'd try to come
up with some sort of a project that people could build & take home
with them,  (and so the Raspberry Pi idea is likely out). Depending
on where you are, it might be a good time of year to make bird or
bat houses, or maybe something decorative.

Have them leave with a physical item that they can take and show
off to others.

Depending on how soon you'll get kicked out after your class ends,
you might be able to plan for building something, and then let
people stay later if they wanted to paint or otherwise decorate
it.

I'd plan on having someone cut all of the pieces in advance unless
it can be done w/ hand tools and you have a sufficient number of
the necessary tools ... ideally, you'd want something that could
be assembled with press-fit and glue, or maybe a few nails or screws.
(if you had to add hinges).

-Joe


If you really need an idea of something to make -- I can give you
plans for gift boxes that I make ... it's shadow-box that says
'in case of emergency, break glass', and you can then put whatever
you want in them.  (typically, I give 'em with pacifiers to 
friends having their first child ... but I've done other stuff,
like gave one w/ a box of kosher salt, peppercorns and whole
cumin to Alton Brown when he was doing a book signing back in
2004 or so)

It's simple pine, a plexiglass front, etc.  You'll need a table
saw, a miter box or chop saw and a label maker, and then it's just
a matter of glue, a few nails, and some sanding.

(you could also borrow a pneumatic brad nailer + a power sander,
so that once you get everyone to make the item, show that it 
can all be done in 1/10th the time w/ the proper tools ... which
is part of the reason for building out these spaces)

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib NYC meet-up, Tue. 5/21 6-8pm

[Jefferson Bailey]

There will be a meet-up for Code4Lib folks in the greater NYC area next
week.

Details:
Date: Tuesday, May 21
Time: 6-8pm
Place: METRO, 57 E. 11th St. 4th Fl NYC 10003
Register: http://metro.org/events/366/

There will be presentations as well as discussion of topics and types of
events the local meet-up group can host going forward.

Re: [CODE4LIB] makerspaces in libraries workshp

[K. Godfrey]

I just did an afternoon makerspaces in libraries workshop for 20 yesterday.
We had too much and didn't get through it all , but we had a 3d printer
demo, an exercise for an arduino, a raspberry pi and a library box to look
at, and we made bristlebots. We wanted to let folks explore thingiverse and
play with sketchup too but there just wasn't time. Just having the tech in
the room for people to touch seemed to go over well, even if we didn't get
to all the exercises or discussions. We also had a resource document and
activity docs for the participants to take away.

Good luck with yours!

Great news, Edward!

Who is the audience of the workshop?

Are you trying to convince administrators, or give ideas to tech people?
This will determine how "hands on" hands on is...

Do you have a 3D printer? A demo would make sense -- 3D printing is on its
way to mainstream, but still impressive and unusual (even unthinkable!) to
people.

What about a LilyPad project?

Perhaps there's a small grant available for purchasing reusable electronics?
