Welcome to Tech Talk!

In this inaugeral post, I'll try to explain what Tech Talk is. I'll talk about the blog in a subsequent post. Please post and comment with your own ideas! Tech Talk is brank spanking new and can become whatever we want it to be.

Tech Talk is an informal group of OHSU Library staff, students, and guests that will meet at 3 PM on the second and fourth Friday of each month in the OHSU Library's History of Dentistry Room. It's intended to be a place where we can share cool technology we have discovered (software, web sites, gadgets... whatever) and ask questions about technology topics. The group is open to any staff member, student... oh, pretty much anyone who wants to come. You don't have to be a techie -- but you might become one if you stick with the group long enough :-)

Before we go any further, I should present the Fundamental Rule of Tech Talk:

No Preparation Required

We all have too many meetings with agendas, minutes, action items, and prepared presentations. Tech Talk isn't one of those! Come as you are. We'll have a laptop and projector for showing off stuff, but you are not expected to do any formal preparation for the meeting.

So c'mon in, pull up a chair, and enjoy some tech talk!
