There is just one week to go until Repository Fringe 2013, which takes place in Edinburgh from 31st July 2013 to 2nd August 2013.
You can find out more about the Fringe on the website: http://rfringe13.blogs.edina.ac.uk/
Registration is still open if you would like to secure your place: http://rfringe13.eventbrite.com
Programme
We are delighted to announce that we have published our programme filled with super presentations, round tables and Pecha Kucha. If you would still like to make a contribution to the programme there is just enough time for submitting a last minute Pecha Kucha, otherwise we are happy to receive updates, ideas, etc. as guest blog posts, videos or other digital materials to be shared on the Repository Fringe website.
Joining online
If you cannot make the event in person but would like to follow on remotely then please keep an eye on our hashtag #rfringe13 and on the blog. There will be some live blogging and we have volunteer bloggers (and welcome more if you'd like to take part) who will share their reflections throughout the event. We will also be videoing all of the talks (any taking place in Room 1) and these will be shared online as quickly as we can after the event.
Developer Challenge
If you have registered for the event and are taking part in the Developer Challenge do take the time to take a look at our prizes, our theme for this year, and our rules. If you have indicated that you may be taking part in the Challenge you will also receive an email shortly with a few more details from Muriel Mewissen who is coordinating the Developer Challenge this year.
The Developer Challenge is very deliberately at the heart of the Fringe this year. We want there to be lots of opportunities to chat and exchange ideas across the whole event. With that in mine if you would like to be part of the Developer Challenge but cannot make it along in person you can still submit your idea/hack online. Take a look at the Developer Challenge page for more on how to do this. Our dedicated Challenge hashtag is: #rfringe13dev.
Thank You
We are very much looking forward to seeing some of you in Edinburgh next week. We think this will be another fantastic Repository Fringe!
