Repository Fringe Organisation

The Repository Fringe is being run on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe model - anyone is allowed to come along and put on a show! In our case "a show" is likely to be a discussion about an emerging issue, or a group attempt to come to some concensus about solving a problem, or a co-ordinated demonstration of some new ideas.

The event will be held in the Playfair Library in Edinburgh. The building consists of a main hall (pictured left) with lots of breakout spaces to facilitate lots of concurrent discussions and working groups. In preparation for the fringe, delegates will post their proposals for discussions and activities to the Wiki, discuss them through the Mailing List and network through the Crowdvine site.

Discussions, briefings, posters, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, mini-tutorials, mini-workshops and code-a-thons will all be catered for over two-days of varied hour-long sessions. The aim of the Fringe is to encourage maximum participation and maximum achievement through a wide variety of meeting opportunities.
