Origami Image Tools presentations
One of the two presentations on Origami Image Tools at Plone Symposium East 2008 that I blogged about previously is now online. (Actually, it’s been up for a while, but I just noticed them as I have re-entered the world of Plone.)
Origami enables the display of very large high-resolution images - at least up to 3 GB - and includes an image tiler and an annotation tool. It looks very, very cool. It’s not the same as being there in person, but if you missed Jonathan Smith’s presentation (or if you were there and want to show it to someone): High Resolution Image Viewing and Annotation Tools for Plone by Jonathan A. Smith and Eric Carty-Fickes.
I am taking an informal class on Plone development. It’s a very different world from my usual library circles - I am surrounded by extra power outlets and Mac laptops and very tech-savvy people - and yet in some ways, it’s very similar. These web developers are very collaborative and helpful people. Yes, you have to know some of the language - but let’s face it, libraries have their own language too.
