The University of Edinburgh with support from the Digital Curation
Centre, EDINA, and Information Services are delighted to annouce that
the 4th Annual Repository Fringe event will be held in the Informatics
Forum on 3-5 August 2011. Further sponsors and supporters to be announced.
Repository Fringe aims to showcase a range of innovative repository and
related developments to coincide with 'preview week' that precedes the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Designed for an audience of developers and coders, repository managers
and practitioners, the programme retains an 'unconference' feel to it,
and seeks to canvass contribution from a wide range of repository actors
for:
* Live demonstrations of innovative work;
* "Lightning" presentations on any subject relating to current, or
future repository endeavours;
* Facilitated Round Table discussions;
* Tutorials and presentations on related topics;
* Workshops and developer day activities including a 'Code Challenge'
and CETIS meeting: 'Advances in Open Systems for Learning Resources' - 5
August.
Keynote speakers will open and close Repository Fringe 2011.
The dates of the event coincide with the start of the Edinburgh Festival
season, which includes Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival (22 July - 31
July 2011), Edinburgh Art Festival (4 Aug - 4 Sept. 2011), Edinburgh
Festival Fringe (5 Aug. - 29 Aug. 2011), Edinburgh International
Festival (12 Aug. - 4 Sept. 2011), Edinburgh International Book Festival
(13 Aug. - 29 Aug.) as well as the usual impromptu street theatre,
musicians and sideshows.
