[ok-scotland] Fwd: Repository Fringe 2010: 2/3 September

Wed Jun 23 09:41:56 UTC 2010

Jonathan et al,

As Stuart mentioned several of us are involved in organising the event 
so I thought I'd flag up that I'll be supporting various social media 
bits of amplification for repository fringe 2010. There will be a good 
amount of twitter and blog activity reporting on the event as it happens 
- keep an eye on the repository fringe website/blog 
(http://www.repositoryfringe.org/). I will also forward relevant 
links/info to this list as and when. ;)

The website is in the form of a blog this year so you should be able to 
post a comment to voice interest in participation there but I will have 
a word with fellow organisers and see if we can make it a bit more 
obvious where you propose short talks.

Thanks,

Nicola.
