...Today is the last day to nominate/defend/decry nominees for
Code4Lib2010 in Asheville...
I'll renominate one of Gabe's excellent suggestions last year in case
it hasn't already been submitted this year:
Adrian Holovaty
Adrian is co-creator and a bdfl of django, a journalist, an inspirer
of Greasemonkey, an influencer of google-maps, a winner of a $1.1m
Knight Foundation grant (the org promotes journalism), and creator of everyblock.com
.
One reason for this suggestion: my interest in parallels between the
mission and, recently, rapidly changing place of journalism and the
library world -- such as the loss of exclusive gate-keeper roles due
to tech advances, and new opportunities afforded by those advances.

Hi all,
Today is the last day to nominate/defend/decry nominees for
Code4Lib2010 in Asheville. If you've been sitting on any
nominations, or if you want to make impassioned arguments for or
against any of the nominees, now's your last chance! (At least, it's
your last chance to make nominations that will be entered into the
online poll. C4L is always welcoming of impassioned arguments.)
See you in Asheville,
Andreas Orphanides
