Register now for The Red Island Repository Institute on Prince
Edward Island - August 11-15, 2008.

Register by May 16 and reserve your spot at the Fedora-focused
Repository Institute on Prince Edward Island, one of Canada’s
premiere travel destinations known for its sandy beaches, golfing,
seafood and iconic red dirt roads. The 1-week hands-on workshop will
be led by well-known Fedora “natives” Sandy Payette, Fedora Commons

Executive Director; Richard Green, Manager, RIDIR, REMAP and
RepoMMan Projects, e-SIG, Academic Services, University of Hull,
and; Matt Zumwalt, MediaShelf.

The Institute is hands-on and is targeted at individuals from
institutions planning or running a repository program and is
intended for users with a wide range of experience, from managers to
programmers. Attendees will be provided all the information and
tools needed to implement and maintain a flexible repository program
using Fedora. Since the Institute is a combination of lecture and
hands-on experience, we encourage all participants to bring their
own laptops. This will allow participants to return to their place
of work with a fully-functional Fedora installation for further
development and testing. Those participants who are not able to
bring a laptop will be provided with one to use for the duration of
the Institute.

Register by May 16 for the reduced early-bird fee of $1,500 - after
that the fee is $1,800. Registration includes meals (except dinners
for Tuesday to Thursday), special events and all materials.  A
preliminary workshop agenda and registration form are now available
at http://vre.upei.ca/riri/.
