Food for thought
"It's not about information anymore, it's about curation." Suzana Ilić (MLT)
Someone asked me why we're organizing DL workshops, since there's a ton of excellent online resources out there. And I think that's the problem. It's not about information anymore, it's about curation. We are drowning in blog posts, tutorials, courses, repos, docs, papers.
