Picture This! is a one-day workshop taking place at Dev8D+ at 10a.m. on Tuesday 15 February 2011 in London and run jointly by the Metadata Forum and the Application Profiles Support Project. It will take place at University of London Union (ULU), Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HY. The workshop will bring together developers and non-technical practitioners to explore the issues around image-based metadata. Starting with a programme of lightning talks where participants can share experiences, explain problems and pitch ideas, the day will focus on providing participants with practical solutions to image metadata problems. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for participants from a technical and non-technical background to work together to find ways to improve the delivery of services dealing with images. The event requires no previous experience, just an interest in metadata and images, and a willingness to explore working together.
There will be a developer challenge focusing on how image metadata can best be used to deliver the services that real, front-line Web services such as repositories, online image stores, etc need to offer their users. Prizes will be awarded for the most innovative and successful solutions developed during Dev8D as part of this challenge.
Places are limited, so please book early! The booking form and programme are already available.
The Twitter hashtag for the event is: #dev8dpic
