*Apologies for cross posting* There is just over a week to go before Open Repositories 2010 in Madrid, are you going? If you are, are you entering for the "Developer Challenge'? Remember you don't have to be a developer to be involved. We want developers and non developers together in teams entering this year's challenge. A quick reminder as to what the challenge is: Create a functioning repository user-interface, presenting a single metadata record which includes as many automatically created, useful links to related external content as possible (for more information: http://devcsi.ukoln.ac.uk/or10dev/) We need you to *tell us if you are entering the challenge!* You can do this by posting the title of your challenge entry (this can change when you get to Madrid) and your team members to the OR10 Crowdvine site - http://or10.crowdvine.com/posts/11256849 . If you aren't a member, you will need to register first. You can work on your entry before the event, but we have a great 'Developer's Lounge' prepared for you when you arrive at the conference, between Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th of July which has a space for brain storming ideas, practicing your pitches and areas to relax and discuss ideas. Remember the deadline to enter the challenge will be after lunchtime on Wednesday 7th July and later we will be asking people to present/pitch their entries to an audience around 1730 where refreshments will be available. A prize of 2000 euros will be awarded to the winners and runners up later at the evening dinner the same night. See you in Madrid. --------------------------------------------- Mr Mahendra Mahey Project Manager DevCSI Research Officer UKOLN, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY Tel: ++44 (0) 1225 384594 Fax: ++44 (0) 1225 386256 email: [log in to unmask] skypeID: mr_mahendra_mahey Mobile: ++44 (0) 7896300820 http://devcsi.ukoln.ac.uk/or10dev/ http://www.ukoln.ac.uk -----------------------------------------------
