From Steeple

OCTOBER 7th, OXFORD. The first official Steeple-BR event will be an 'assembly' together with ELTAC crowd from Coventry. Topics for the event will be issues around licensing and copyright, as well as metadata-related issues. Many of you have signed up already, and we're nearly up to capacity. Email steeple@oucs.ox.ac.uk asap if you would like to come. (Event costs and lunch will be met by the project, but you'll need to pay for your own accommodation/transport. Bring your laptop if you like!!)

[edit] 1.1 Possible topics

As this event is following an agile philosophy of an unconvention/barcamp it's up to the attendees themselves to help populate the talks and lead the day. The workshop is a DIY day rather than a series of presentations. So feel free to stick your name against a topic below or email steeple@oucs.ox.ac.uk to suggest a theme/talk/presentation but be willing to instigate or run it perhaps using your laptop or a browser.
