[Evergreen-catalogers] Mashcat -- call for feedback on upcoming events

[Galen Charlton]

**Apologies for Cross-Posting**

"Mashcat" was originally an event in the UK in 2012 which was aimed at
bringing together people working on the IT systems side of libraries
with those working in cataloguing and metadata. Three years later,
Mashcat is a loose group of metadata specialists, cataloguers,
developers and anyone else with an interest in how metadata in and
around libraries can be created, manipulated, used and re-used by
computers and software. The aim is to work together and bridge the
communications gap that has sometimes gotten in the way of building
the best tools we possibly can to manage library data.

There is a monthly Twitter chat using the hashtag #mashcat, a Slack
channel (an online discussion/chat room) and a website at
http://mashcat.info. To join the Slack channel, you can contact
@ostephens, @yo_bj, @cm_harlow or @gmcharlt on Twitter.

We are currently planning some Mashcat events for late 2015 - early
2016. We plan to hold three webinars, as well as a face-to-face
MashCat event (in the US) either before or after an existing
conference in early-mid 2016. We are looking for feedback on what
topics people would like to see covered in these events, and also
advice on the best conference to which we might attach a face-to-face
MashCat event - please let us know by completing our short survey,
available here:

Please respond by Friday, July 31st.

Thanks!
