[Dspace-general] Chance to participate in the "Repository Challenge" roadshow

[Michele Kimpton]

Would you like to be part of the "repository challenge" roadshow?  And  
write rapid code to show how all open source repository platforms  
interoperate?  If so, read on....

For those of you that attended OR2008, you may recall there was a  
repository software challenge, to develop software rapidly at the  
conference and win a prize.  The team that organized this event,,  
CRIG* will be doing a road show, where the purpose of the roadshow  
will be to promote common interoperability frameworks that work on all  
3 repository platforms.  They have a developer from Fedora and eprints  
and are looking for a developer to represent the DSpace community.   
You will be required to write code.  The time commitment is as follows:

1.) WorldComp'08 July 14-17 in Vegas

2.) Blackboard Developer Conference July 13-15 in Vegas*

3.) EduWeb Conference July 21-23rd in Atlantic City, New Jersey

*also possibility of  a Barcamp venue on the East Coast between July  
16th-21st: most likely the Library of Congress or Boston/NYC area.

Your transportation and hotel expenses will be paid for, but you will  
need to attend all events and donate your time.

If you are interested please let me know.

thanks, Michele Kimpton
