About Islandora Camp
Come learn, work, and play at this year’s Islandora camp. Held between
July 20-22, the second Islandora camp provides introductory and
intermediate sessions conducted by the Islandora specialists. In the
morning, sessions will be held for special Islandora topics. Beginners
can learn the basics of building and configuring collections in
Islandora and seasoned developers can participate in advanced sessions.
In the afternoon, folks will have the opportunity either to work on the
development of a collection in Islandora (from data they bring with them
or can access remotely) or to work on an Islandora challenge.
Throughout the camp, Islandora developers and librarians will be
available to help you learn to customize Drupal at your home
institution. You will also have the opportunity to learn about our
roadmap and become a part of the project. As part of the camp's
'unconference' atmosphere, sessions and the structure of the day will be
partly chosen by you.

*Call for Scholarships* - Deadline: June 15, 2011- This year, Islandora
