Apologies for cross-posting: Beyond the Repository Fringe 2009 - Call for Participation
Place: Informatics Forum, University of Edinburgh Date: 30th/31st July 2009 Wiki: http://wiki.repositoryfringe.org/ Email: r...@ed.ac.uk Hashtag: #RF09 Sponsored by JISC, the Beyond the Repository Fringe 2009 event will be hosted by the University of Edinburgh with support from the Digital Curation Centre, the School of Informatics, EDINA, and Information Services, as well as UKOLN and EPrints. This year the Repository Fringe organisers aim to draw on and showcase a range of inspirational repository developments, including those produced from the JISC Rapid Innovation and Repository and Preservation programmes, plus various 'barcamps', 'hackdays' and repository challenges. Designed for an audience of developers, 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; - "Pecha Kucha" presentations on any subject relating to current, or future repository endeavours (i.e. a presenter shows 20 images for 20 seconds apiece, for a total time of 6 minutes, 40 seconds); - Round Table discussions; - Formal presentations or tutorials on related topics; - A 'Code Challenge' Keynote speakers are Ben O'Steen, Sally Rumsey, and Clifford Lynch. Jordan Hatcher will also present on the Open Database Licence (ODbL). To accompany this event there will be a DCC Associates' Network meeting (delegates will be able to join the network and participate on the day) and a DISC-UK DataShare workshop on 'research data requirements and digital repositories'. The dates of the event coincide with the start of the Edinburgh Festival season, which includes the Jazz and Blues Festival (31 July - 9 Aug), the Festival Fringe (7 Aug - 31 Aug), the Edinburgh International Festival (14 Aug - 6 Sept), and the Edinburgh Book Festival (15 Aug - 31 Aug), as well as the usual impromptu street theatre, musicians and sideshows.
