CETIS Widget Bash

On 23-24 March, 2011 around 35 people took part in the our "widget-bash" at the University of Bolton. More information on the day is available here http://wiki.cetis.ac.uk/Widgetbash. Hopefully this twitter story will give you a flavour of what took place.

  1. Just before the event, the W2C project posted a very timely post about their experiences of building W3C widgets and using wookie.

    hmm, Capita Unit-e only exposes web services as an extra option you have to pay for. #interoperability #fail ? #cetiswb

    Really like MMU's "which computers are available" web service. Really need that kind of joined-up thinking at CoGC. #cetiswb
