Come and join in Edinburgh's newest and entirely unofficial festival!
The Repository Fringe, The University of Edinburgh, UK.
Thursday 31st July - Friday 1st August 2008
http://www.repositoryfringe.org/
Research data, social networking, bibliographic services or desktop
integration? Whatever your interest and problems, come and
• brainstorm new and emerging repository issues
• generate new ideas, new perspectives, new ways forward and new demos
• show off some new project results
• meet up with repository managers, administrators, librarians and
developers.
In the spirit of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Repository Fringe
will be run in an informal way, with the agenda determined by the
participants in the style of an Unconference. Inspired by the recent
Developer Challenge at OR08 this is another opportunity to get rapid
cross-platform development happening with some of the most talented
repository developers in the world!
The Repository Fringe is (unofficially) co-located with the Edinburgh
Fringe's "Preview Week" when comedy, theatre, music, opera and dance
acts are starting up with many at half price. Accommodation has been
reserved and can be booked by individuals for the Friday/Saturday
night to take advantage of a weekend at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Expected Cost: about £70 covering of Thursday night accommodation,
lunches and refreshments. Wednesday, Friday & Saturday night
accommodation is also available.
IMPORTANT: SPACES ARE STRICTLY LIMITED: please reply to this email to
indicate your interest in attending.
