LITA JPEG2000 Interest Group Meeting at ALA Annual

Gueguen, Gretchen (gmg2n — 2011-06-17T18:55:32

Apologies for cross-posting...

Colleagues:

The JPEG 2000 Interest Group Meeting will be held on Saturday, June 25 from 1:30-3:30pm at the Intercontinental, Pelican I room. With the interest group's upcoming renewal, the IG co-chairs would like to discuss the future of group. Should the scope of the IG broaden to encompass more aspects related to digital imaging such as:
   -digitization training and best practices
   -other developing formats
   -software and hardware
   -digital forensics
   -OCR developments
   -multi-spectral imaging

However, we wanted to make this open and collaborative. Is there a significant interest in these topics as they specifically relate to digital imaging? Is there still a need to focus on JPEG2000 exclusively? Would it make more sense for this IG to develop in a different direction or disband altogether?

We will also update the group on plans for the "Roadmap to JPEG2000" LITA webinar being held this fall. All are welcome!
JPEG 2000 Interest Group Meeting
Saturday, June 25

Re: LITA JPEG2000 interest group needs a new chair

Gueguen, Gretchen — 2010-06-17T13:24:24

Hi Peter,

I would be interested in chairing the IG, but I know right now that I can't attend the meeting at this year's annual and I can't attend midwinter, due to prior obligations...so I don't really know that this makes me a good candidate for chair. I would have volunteered earlier if not for these conflicts. 

However, perhaps there is someone else out there interested in co-chairing? I'm sending this response to the entire list in case someone else out there is on the fence and would be interested in sharing the duties...

I'm following up to this message from earlier this month.  We're still looking for a volunteer to step up as chair of the JPEG2000 interest group.  See the message below for further details.

Greetings fellow JPEG2000 enthusiasts --

The JPEG2000 interest group has been a part of LITA (Library and Information Technology Association) division of ALA for most of a decade, and in that time it has been my pleasure to serve as chair of the group.  The LITA bylaws, however, state that the chair of an interest group can only serve a maximum of four years, so the IG needs a new chair.  Think of this as a great opportunity to volunteer a little bit of time towards a great goal.

The management overhead of an interest group is pretty low.  There is a LITA chairperson's meeting on Saturday morning of both the midwinter and annual conference.  You'll need to respond to occasional e-mails from the LITA office about scheduling interest group meetings for midwinter and annual conferences.  And you'll need to report on the interest group discussions after each conference.  If you want to put on a program or produce a publication, there are liaisons to LITA committees to help you out in addition to the great supp

Welcome to new list participants and Minutes from the ALA Meeting

Welcome to the new participants of the J2KARCLIB-L mailing list.  This is a very low volume list that discusses the adoption of JPEG2000 in archives and libraries as well as the business of the American Library Association (ALA) Interest Group (IG).  I added the e-mail addresses of attendees to the IG; if you want your name removed at any point, please let me know.

Also, the minutes for the IG meeting in Boston this past weekend are now up in ALA Connect (http://connect.ala.org/node/92699).  The minutes are publicly available, but I believe you need an ALA Connect account in order to comment.  All ALA members have one (sign in at http://connect.ala.org/user and/or see http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=Login&template=/security/nopassword.cfm to recover your password), and you can sign up for one even if you are not a member of ALA (http://connect.ala.org/node/75319).

Please note that the interest group needs a new chair starting at the June meeting of ALA.  All LITA members are eligible to be chair, a
