hi,<br><br>From another list -<br>Code4Lib is having their 2012 conference in Feb. in Seattle. Might
    be something of interest if you&#39;re into tech-ness and how open
    source communities can work together. Here is how they describe
    their organization:<br>
    <br>
    &quot;
    
    code4lib isn&#39;t entirely about code or libraries. It is a
    volunteer-driven collective of hackers, designers, architects,
    curators, catalogers, artists and instigators from around the world,
    who largely work for and with libraries, archives and museums on
    technology &quot;stuff.&quot; It started in the fall of 2003 as a <a href="http://dewey.library.nd.edu/mailing-lists/code4lib/" target="_blank">mailing
      list</a> when a group of library programmers decided to create an
    overarching community agnostic towards any particular language or
    technology.&quot;<br>
    <br>
    I&#39;m unable to attend due to other obligations, but, it might be
    something others have interest in. Would be a great opportunity to
    &quot;combine our powers&quot; or see where we can work together. <br>

    <span class="HOEnZb"></span>Is there any such grouping in India? Exploring their website, they are geared towards GLAM as well. Wondering that if we&#39;re going to do GLAM stuff in India we might benefit from interacting with such a group in India as well.<br>
