The program for this 10th Open Repositories conference includes:



- keynote talks from Kaitlin Thaney of Mozilla Science Lab and Anurag
Acharya of Google Scholar



- a mix of workshops, tutorials, papers, panels, 24x7 presentations,
posters, and “repository rants and raves” addressing a wide variety of
topics related to digital repositories and the roles they play in
supporting open scholarship, open science, online cultural heritage, and
research data



- a Developer Track that includes informal  presentations and
demonstrations showcasing community expertise and progress



- interest group sessions focused on the open source DSpace, EPrints, and
Fedora (including Hydra and Islandora) repository platforms
