On 18th June 2008, I organised a "Mashed Museum" day as a prequel to the Museums Computer Group annual conference. 20 or so people met for a day of mashing - taking museum-related data sources and connecting them together in a range of different ways. The remit of the day was to:
"...give us an environment free from political or monetary constraints. The focus...is not IPR, copyright, funding or museum politics. Our energies will be channeled into embracing the 'new web': envisaging, demonstrating and (hopefully) building some lightweight distributed applications."
During the day, I used a Nokia N95 to interview some of the people who took part. This video showcases some of the things we did. You can find out more about the video and the day over on electronic museum
