Hello all, an event that you might consider..

Repositories and the Cloud
Tuesday 23 Feb 2010
Magic Circle Headquarters
London

http://www.eduserv.org.uk/events/repcloud

Event tag: #repcloud

This free event, organised jointly by Eduserv and the JISC, will bring
together software developers, repository managers, service providers,
funding and advisory bodies to discuss the potential policy and technical
issues associated with cloud computing and the delivery of repository
services in UK HEIs.

We hope that you arrive with a general understanding about utility computing
solutions in the public cloud, particularly file storage.

We expect you to leave with a good understanding of:

   - the technical options for integrating EPrints, DuraSpace and Microsoft
   Zentity with cloud services;
   - the potential policy issues that arise from such usage;

and having had the chance to contribute your ideas and suggestions for
future activities in this space.

The day will offer a mix of plenary talks (morning) and themed breakout
sessions (afternoon) and is designed to appeal to both geeks and policy
bods.

The event will be held in London on 23 February 2010, in the interesting and
unusual surroundings of the Magic Circle Headquarters (close to Euston
Station), and is being jointly organised by Eduserv and the JISC.  There is
no charge to attend.  Lunch is provided and there will be a drinks reception
immediately after the event so that you can continue networking with other
delegates.

For your convenience, this meeting is being held immediately before the JISC
Dev8D repositories event.

Best wishes

Neil
