save the date for RepoCamp!

RepoCamp will be a one-day event where folks who are interested in managing and creating digital repository software and their contents can gather and share ideas. RepoCamp will take place on July 25, 2008, at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. PLEASE NOTE: Due to space constraints, there will only be room for 30-ish people.

For those of you who are familiar with the concept, this will be a "barcamp," where the sessions are proposed and scheduled by the attendees the day of the event. Having participated in beCamp the past couple of years, I'm very excited to see this opportunity for the repository community.

I HATE YOU BECAUSE I CAN'T GO.

But I love you because this is great. (And I'm not the target demographic anyway. So it goes.) Code good!

@Dorothea

Figures. I saw the post and one of my first thoughts after "Cool!" and "What could I share?" was "I wonder if I will get to meet Dorothea there..."

Ed Summers is really the hero for getting this going with Ben O'Steen from Oxford.

And, to &$%^@ with target demographics.
