Islandora wants you. Yes, that’s right, you. We’re busy building the Islandora ecosystem (led by Drupal and Fedora) and in order to accomplish this, we need to assemble all interested developers, & repository managers in one place where ideas and energy can flow. What better way to do this than to organize a super boring conference where everyone can wear name tags, eat bland food, and feel awkward and stuffy? Sound good? Well, if that’s what you’re looking for, then we suggest you look elsewhere. This is an un-conference conference, the kind where we call it a camp, have a yurt as our logo and ask you to relax and enjoy all the rich food and culture Prince Edward Island has to offer at the height of its most treasured summer season. That’s not to say we’ll be sitting around resting on our laurels, no. While the full details on the ins and outs of the Camp are still unfolding, what we can say for certain is that it will be 2 packed days with your colleagues from the larger Islandora community, with one full day of sessions from developers, & repository managers – organized by you – and one full day of road-mapping, brainstorming plus install-fest, hackfest, and in keeping with our theme, un-conference style discussions. After a long day of hacking, developing, exchanging ideas, that’s when we carry on 2 fun-filled evenings of seafood, seafood, seafood (other food) and general good times with your own growing community. If you’re interested in Islandora Camp (and by this point, how could you not be?) check out our website http://www.islandora.ca<http://137.149.200.13/islandora/node/15> You’ll notice this is conveniently placed immediately prior to our 3rdAnnual RIRI workshop, which is a week-long (July 26 – 30) Repository Institute with a focus on Fedora. PEI is fantastic, especially in the summer, so if you’re wise, you’ll consider both. http://vre2.upei.ca/riri/ And if you like tapas, we also suggest you join us in Spain at the Open Repositories Conference in Madrid (July 6 – 9) http://or2010.fecyt.es/Publico/WorkShop/index.aspx. We look forward to camping with you! ******Apologies for any cross postings. Please pass along to interested colleagues.
