apologies for cross-posting. The University of Prince Edward Island is happy to announce that registration is now open for Islandora Camp, held July 20-22nd at the University of Prince Edward Islands http://islandora.ca/node/208 About Islandora Camp Come learn, work, and play at this year’s Islandora camp. Held between July 20-22, the second Islandora camp provides introductory and intermediate sessions conducted by the Islandora specialists. In the morning, sessions will be held for special Islandora topics. Beginners can learn the basics of building and configuring collections in Islandora and seasoned developers can participate in advanced sessions. In the afternoon, folks will have the opportunity either to work on the development of a collection in Islandora (from data they bring with them or can access remotely) or to work on an Islandora challenge. Throughout the camp, Islandora developers and librarians will be available to help you learn to customize Drupal at your home institution. You will also have the opportunity to learn about our roadmap and become a part of the project. As part of the camp's 'unconference' atmosphere, sessions and the structure of the day will be partly chosen by you. *Call For Presentations* - Deadline: June 15, 2011 - Doing something interesting with Islandora?
