Hi Richard,
Myself and Antony would like to attend but unfortunately Stuart cannot
make this event.
I'll be representing the RSP along with Pete Cliff (UKOLN). If there is
a spare 5/10 minute slot available we would be happy to do a quick
presentation on the Repositories Support Project.
Many Thanks,
Chris

> ==============

> As at past meetings we intend using the morning for news and updates
> about what people are doing with Fedora - but this time we are doing
it
> on an 'opt-in' basis. When you mail your intention to attend, please
> bid for up 20 minutes-worth of time. This could be a single 20
> minutes-worth, four x 5 minute slots, 2 x five minutes, just five
> minutes etc - or nothing. Please give us a 'title' for each slot. We
> hope that by doing this we can get maximum coverage of new information
> whilst people who might just want to report 'things are progessing
> steadily' don't actually have to 'present' that! A PowerPoint is
> optional for these contributions; don't feel that you have to create
> one
> unless the material needs it. If you do bring a PowerPoint, a USB
> stick
> is more easily swapped over than a laptop... People appreciate it if
> we
> are able to post a summary of some sort on the Fedora wiki after the
> event so please plan to provide us with something if you opt into
these
> presentations.

> Reports and planning
> ===============
>
> In the afternoon we intend to have a few reports on developments which
> are not necessarily directly related to members' own work and to plan
> for a number of others. Please feel free to propose additions to the
> draft list below:
>
> - brief report back from the PASIG Conference in Paris (a
SUN-sponsored
> event concentrating on repositories and preservation issues)
> - a demonstration of the Muradora interface (and underlying security
> plug-in) for Fedora, developed by the Drama Project (part of the
> DEST-funded RAMP Project) in Australia
> - brief report on the work being carried out around Fedora by
> Mediashelf
> LLC (Matt Zumwalt's company)
> - planning for Open Repositories 2008 (which is being held in
> Southampton at the beginning of April. The UK&I group have been asked
> to help plan the Fedora strand of the conference)
> - possible involvement with the JISC/CNI meeing in Belfast in July
> - developing a register of expertise - should we? How do we present
it
> if so?
> - contributing information about Fedora to the JISC Repositories
> Support
> Group
> - quick survey of plans for deploying Fedora 3.0 (if any)
> - date, place and draft agenda of next meeting.
