Good luck 🙂

Sorry – my bad. I didn’t get much feedback after doing the first post, and didn’t manage to find the time/energy to do the remaining ones. I also don’t have a Windows PC at the moment, so can’t run through the steps right now. If you’ve done step 1 here, you are basically ready to […]

It’s been a long time coming – but it’s finally here – sign up to Haggis and Mash now at http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esi/events/1114/ – 25th Jan at the NeSC e-Science Institute in Edinburgh. We are running this event under the banner ‘Open Edge’ with another event on Open Source software in libraries on the 26th Jan in […]

That would be great Mark – definitely take you up on this, so please keep 25th free! For those who just want to dive straight in with the client (and not worry about the install) perhaps we could have at least one system up and running in advance?

We are collaborating with JISC and SCONUL on Haggis and Mash now, bringing a specific (but not sole) focus on Open Source in libraries.

Since it has been a bit quiet on this front, I just thought I’d post to confirm the event is definitely going ahead, 25th Jan at the NeSC e-Science Institute in Edinburgh. Sessions and format is under active discussion at the moment and hope to have something to post very soon.

Thanks Nicola – definitely sounds good – think something ‘geo’ would go down very well – we had a lot of interest when John McKerrell presented something around geo stuff at Liver and Mash in Liverpool, so I think there would definitely be some interest around this.

I’m pleased to say thanks to Martin we now have a confirmed date and venue: 25th January, at the NeSC e-Science Institute in Edinburgh.

Great – thanks Graham

I’m not 100% sure about needing admin access on Windows, and of course if you already have some of the components installed by default, this may get around the need, but I’d be a bit suprised if we can manage an install without Admininstrator access. I haven’t done a Mac install – but hey, surely […]

Just to say we are making some progress here – so keep tuned, and start posting any ideas for content in the forum at http://www.mashedlibrary.com/groups/haggis-and-mash/forum/topic/format-and-content/
