Peter Binkley sent this recently to the Web4Lib list service: Hackfest 2005, associated with the Access conference (Edmonton, Alberta, Oct. 17) needs projects! A roomful of library geeks stand ready to realize your dream application! (Or at least come as close to it as possible in a day’s work).Please submit a brief description of your idea here:

http://access2005.library.ualberta.ca/hackfest/Hackfest is a “collaborative effort to solve real world library problems using freely available tools”. Projects can be large or small, easy or
difficult. Results are not in any way guaranteed, but are likely to range from clever-but-unfinished to surprisingly-useful to no-one-chose-this-project.

I actually plan on being apart of not only the hackfest (ha – more like I’ll be coffee boy) as well as attend the conference. Sadly the conference is at 100% capacity, but you could always try the waiting list.
