Good question, Tom.
At this point, the Call for Proposals only contains guidelines for proposing
more traditional conference presentations. However, I agree that some
developments are best shared in a different format, such as lightning talks /
24x7's.
We have a meeting of the OR12 committee tomorrow, so I'll bring this topic up
and plan on getting back to the list.

Jon,
Thanks for this reminder. Will you be considering any kind of lightning talk /
24x7 / pecha kucha format in the Fedora track? I believe the conference hosts
plan to invite pecha kucha proposals this year to the attached "fringe" event,
but I'm unsure if there will be a way to indicate that for the Fedora User
Group (or indeed if such a proposal would be welcome!)

Dear Fedora community:
I just wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming February 20 deadline for
submission of presentation and panel proposals for both the general conference
and Fedora User Group tracks at this summer's Open Repositories 2012 in
Edinburgh, Scotland, July 9-13, 2012.
I know that there's been a great deal of innovative work around Fedora over the
past year, and I would encourage all of you to consider submitting a proposal
to the Fedora User Group at OR12 to help share your work and ideas with the
broader community.
For more details, see the Call for Proposals below, and if you have any
questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I should note that the
submission system is not yet up and running on the OR12 web site at
http://or2012.ed.ac.uk<http://or2012.ed.ac.uk/>/, but it should be soon.
Regards,

Open Repositories 2012 - "Open Services for Open Content: Local In/Global Out"
This year's Open Repositories conference takes place in Edinburgh, Scotland
between July 9th 2012 and July 13th. We're now inviting you to consider what
you can contribute to the conference programme.
Repositories are established in many ways as systems, as services, and as
infrastructure for many types of content in an increasingly varied range of
institutions. They now demonstrate how action on a local scale can have global
consequences - for the institutions hosting repositories, for those who deposit
content in them, and for society as a whole. Some actions, however, are only
effective when coordinated at national, domain or global scale. Understanding
the change repositories can bring about, the changes they themselves need to
undergo, and the areas in which local action is sufficient are key themes of
this year's conference. We're interested in hearing about:
* Augmented content - and mediation and ownership of augmentation
* Delivery of non-traditional content
* Embedded repository service components
* Shared and collaborative repository infrastructure and services
* Open services that feed, support and consume repository services and
content, such as identification services
* Enabling content re-use
* Long-term preservation in and of repositories and their content
* Lessons learned about the difficulties of creating global services from
local roots
and any other topic that you think is relevant to our major themes.
The aim of the Open Repositories Conference is to bring those responsible for
the development, implementation and management of digital repositories together
with stakeholders to address theoretical, practical, and strategic issues:
across the entire lifecycle of information, from the creation and management of
digital content, to enabling use, re-use, and interconnection of information,
and ensuring long-term preservation and archiving. The current economic climate
dictates that repositories operate across administrative and disciplinary
boundaries and to interact with distributed computational services and social
communities.
Submissions can take the form of abstracts, posters, demos and workshops - more
details are given below. We will consider any submission that seems to us
sufficiently original and repository-related to merit attention at this event,
but we'll give preference to submissions that address our primary theme.
The programme will also include the developer challenge and space for sessions
in the spirit of Edinburgh's successful 'Repository Fringe'
(http://repositoryfringe.org<http://repositoryfringe.org/>) event. Further
details of these segments of the programme will be announced nearer the time;
they will include substantial aspects of the un-conference - an event whose
format is controlled by its attendees.
Submission process
Conference papers
We welcome two- to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that deal
with organizational, theoretical, practical, or administrative issues of
digital repositories and repository services that are not specific to a
particular technical platform. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made
available through the conference's web site, and later they and associated
materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and
future OR content. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will
automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate as a User Group
presentation.
User Group Presentations
Two- to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of
one of the major repository platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) are invited
from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and
practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction
and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms.
Posters and demos
We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and
practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters and demonstrations.
Posters provide an opportunity to present work that isn't appropriate for a
paper; you'll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or demo
during a plenary session at the conference.
Workshops and Tutorials
Workshops will take place before and after the conference; they will require
proposals and can be closely or loosely attached to the conference. Closely
attached workshops will have registration & venues arranged by OR2012
organisers; loosely attached workshops are the responsibility of the
organizers, but OR2012 will co-promote them if they are accepted.
PLEASE submit your paper, poster, demo or workshop proposal through the
conference system. The conference system will be linked from the conference web
site (http://or2012.ed.ac.uk/) and will be available for submissions in January
2012.
