Invenio User Group Workshop 2012
Dear Invenio User and Developer:
You are welcome to attend the Invenio User Group Workshop 2012 which will take place at CERN from 7th to 9th of May 2012.
PROGRAMME
Following the release of Invenio 1.0, we are organising a Workshop to present new features and to enable you to better explore various aspects of Invenio technology. The Programme will be largely based on your concrete interests and needs. You can propose topics and vote for subjects at Talk/InvenioUserGroupWorkshop.
The provisional draft version of the Programme will be published on the dedicated Workshop agenda page at http://indico.cern.ch/event/invenio-user-group-workshop-2012.
Ample time will be reserved for technical discussions with Invenio developers and to stimulate mutual knowledge exchange between Workshop participants.
REGISTRATION
The registration fee is free of charge. Please let us know if you intend to participate by replying to "info (at) invenio-software (dot) org" by April 15th.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The Workshop will take place on the CERN campus. Some rooms are pre-booked at the CERN Hostel for the nights between 6th and 9th of May. Places are limited, though. If you are interested, please contact as soon as possible CERN Housing service at "cern (dot) hostel (at) cern (dot) ch", citing that you participate to the "Invenio User Group Workshop".
More practical information will be announced in due time and available on the dedicated Workshop page at http://indico.cern.ch/event/invenio-user-group-workshop-2012.
We hope to meet you at the Workshop to share and enhance your Invenio knowledge and experience!
