This week I am posting and tweeting from Kauli Days 2012 in Austin, TX. We have over 800 attendees this year from 40 different u.s. states and 8 countries internationally. See below for a picture of the opening plenary featuring #kualiole friend pat burns, cio and university librarian at colorado state university.
Very good discussion today around all issues of mass-scale storage architectures at the Library of Congress Designing Storage Architectures Meeting. This meeting in its 5 or 6 year has really changed in the coverage but that is because storage management is such an ever changing medium.
lots of talk here around large-scale hieratchal storage systems using tape – lots of tape stil in gov, highered, public sector.
Follow the tweets today and tomorrow at #DSA12
This week I am in DC at the U24 Joint meeting hosted by NCRR in Rockville, MD. Really cool meeting – got to know some more people from the Harvard based eagle-i program. Looking at how VIVOWeb and eagle-i overlap with priorities.
Today I am in the second day of the annual ALA OITP Advisory Committee Fall Retreat. We have a real treat today in Alan Davidson, Google Director of U.S. Public Policy and Government Affairs. He is talking about all the interesting fronts that google is working on in terms of the future of the Internet.
Google is very interested in how the Internet experience has changed most people will never know a desktop – will only know netbooks and ipods and ebook readers.
