Forwarding this to the list, as the academic and GLAM worlds seem to be
converging more and more these days in terms of archiving, preservation and
open data. Well worth attending, what with coinciding with Festival and all.

***** Book the date for the 6th Annual Repository Fringe! **********
The University of Edinburgh with support from the Digital Curation Centre,
EDINA, and Edinburgh University Library are delighted to announce that
after its temporary incorporation into Open Repositories 2012 the
Repository Fringe will return as a standalone event this year to be held in
the Informatics Forum from 31 July to 2 August 2013. 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 canvas 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';
* Last but not least, after a notable presentation at the 2011 event we are
also happy to accept presentations with live musical accompaniment!
Keynote speakers will open and close Repository Fringe 2013.
The dates of the event coincide with the start of the Edinburgh Festival
season, which includes the Edinburgh Art Festival, Edinburgh Festival
Fringe, Edinburgh International Festival , Edinburgh International Book
Festival, as well as the usual impromptu street theatre, musicians and
sideshows.
Registration for this free event will open shortly
University accommodation is available on a first-come, first-served basis,
details are available at http://www.book.accom.ed.ac.uk/. Please note,
accommodation is in high demand at that time of year so early booking is
advisable.
