# Scholarships to Attend the 2010 Code4Lib Conference #
Oregon State University and Brown University are sponsoring four
scholarships to promote gender and cultural diversity. Each
scholarship will provide up to $1,000 to cover travel costs and
conference fees for one qualified attendee to attend

discussion recently]
I am using tictocs[2] list of journal RSS feeds, and I am getting
gibberish in places for diacritics. Below is an example:

I would definitely nominate the Qubit Toolkit and the PKP software suite as
candidates for this list:
http://qubit-toolkit.org/
http://pkp.sfu.ca/
Qubit is somewhat nascent, but is actively being developed and is fairly
well-supported (by the ICA, UNESCO, LAC, among others), and the PKP suite

The string in question is double-encoded, that is, a string that's in
UTF-8 already was run through a UTF-8 encoder.
The string is Acta Ortopedica where the 'e' is really '\u00e9' aka
'Latin Small Letter E with Acute'. [1]
In UTF-8, the e-acute is two-byte encoded as C3 A9. If you run the

Eric,
Archivists' Toolkit (www.archiviststoolkit.org) is conspicuously absent
from your list of library OS CMS systems.
As you probably know, integration of AT and Archon is impending, a point
you might want to draw attention to in your list.
Cheers,

AT Project Manager
Thanks for tracking this down Godmar.
I've emailed tictocs and we'll see what they say.

I've solved the problem:
Using the emacs hexl-find-file, I could see that the wget file was OK:

Any thoughts on making this list something more dynamic, web 2.0ish? I
think the list could be even more useful if one could do some sort of
faceted search on the information.
Looking at the not-viable list it seems that many of the entries were
considered not viable due to lack of

I believe they've changed it while we were having the discussion.

Eric, the Kete project is another one you might want to add to your
list. It's intended to let libraries and archives create 'community
repositories' with user-generated content, and it was started by the
Horowhenua Library Trust, the same organisation that sponsored Koha.

Hello All,
Since we have yet to receive any submissions for T-Shirt designs, we
are extending the contest until January 6th. This will give those of
us with time off due to the holidays a chance to ignore family by
creating an awesome design for the t-shirts. And those of you without
time off

I agree with Godmar: it looks like (some) change happened to tictocs
between my original wget download and the one I downloaded after I
changed my browser settings.
It appears Godmar is not going nuts (or at least this issue is not due
to him going nuts!) ;-)

Hi Eric,
I don't see CDS Invenio listed [1]. It's an institutional repository
system developed at CERN. It's an impressive piece of software, but
for one reason or another doesn't seem to get much attention. I intend
to give a lightning talk on it in Asheville in February.
