> Islandora is pleased to announce our annual Islandora Camp, taking place
> Sunday, July 7th in Charlottetown, PEI (The day before the 2013 Open
> Repositories conference, also held in Charlottetown - http://or2013.net). An

> Islandora is an open-source software framework designed to help
> institutions and organizations and their audiences collaboratively manage,
> and discover digital assets using a best-practices framework. Islandora was
> originally developed by the University of Prince Edward Island's Robertson
> Library, but is now implemented and contributed to by an ever-growing
> international community.
> 
> This year's Islandora Camp will be the fourth time the Islandora community
> has gathered in Prince Edward Island for summer sun and digital
> repositories.
> 
> The activities at Camp are also new this year. In response to feedback from
> our last few camps, we are taking a very hands-on approach. Instead of a
> series of sit-and-listen sessions, the camp will be structured around a set
> of tutorials and exercises with Islandora. Working with the latest
> Islandora 7.x release in a VM (bring your laptops!), attendees will be
> grouped in tables of 4-5 with an  experienced mentor, who will help you
> through the projects when you struggle, or give you extra challenges if
> you're breezing through.
> 
> Curriculum details will be released within the next few weeks. General
> plans are:
> 
> *Admin Group*
> For repository and collection managers, librarians, archivists, and anyone
> else who deals primarily with the front-end experience of Islandora and
> would like to learn how to get the most out of it, or developers who would
> like to learn more about the front-end experience.
> 
>   - Intro to Drupal
>   - Setting Up Islandora
>   - Collection Management
>   - Solr
> 
> *Developer Group*
> For developers, systems people, and anyone dealing with Islandora at the
> code-level, or any front-end Islandora users who are interested in learning
> more about the developer side.
> 
>   - Setting up a Dev Environment
>   - Coding Standards
>   - Building a Module
>   - Solr
> 
> We are also giving away a free registration for Camp and for Open
> Repositories 2013 as part of a logo design contest for the Islandora Camp
> t-shirt. Details: http://peicamp13.islandora.ca/content/t-shirt-contest
