2nd call for participation
The Repository Fringe event continues to grow: we have a fairly full
schedule now (http://eris.lib.ed.ac.uk/repofringe/?page_id=4).
Even before the event starts, there is a pre-event workshop from Sherpa
on the current & future of the RoMEO service.
Tony Hirst (@psychemedia; Open University) is giving the Keynote
Address, and we have presentations from Herbert Van De Sompel (@hvdsomp;
Los Alamos), the ever moving EPrints team (@lescarr; Southampton), Chris
Awre (@clawre; University of Hull), and Michael Fourman (@mp4man; the
University of Edinburgh).
There will be a number of Round Table discussions (and after the success
in 2009, there will be more of them, running in parallel), and a Pecha
Kucha session each day.
The closing presentation will be given by Kevin Ashley (@kevingashley;
Digital Curation Centre).
For those looking for extra reasons to come, there are plenty:
- The 'Fringe may have officially ended, but there are still a few
street performers and die-hard shows running.
- The International Festival does not finish until the Sunday night
- Oh, and the Fireworks Concert: Sunday 5th September, 9pm: find
somewhere with a good view of the castle, and tune a radio into ForthFM
- ECDL is in Glasgow (trains every 15 minutes from Edinburgh), from the
6th to the 10th.
We are still interested in your ideas for Round table discussions, and
we are able to take a few more Pecha Kucha talks (anyone want a practice
before ECDL?)
Please send your ideas for Round Table discussions, or proposals for a
Pecha Kucka presentation, to [log in to unmask]
One request from the National E-Science Centre, who will try to assist
participants in finding accommodation - "please book now: it is becoming
very very difficult to find accommodation in Edinburgh."
