At RIRI: The Red Island Repository Institute fires up

The Red Island Repository Institute (RIRI), hosted by the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) has started with a bang.  Sandy Payette spent an entire day feeding the room with a wonderful mix of vision, software architecture, social context, and technical details.

Mark Leggott has put together a great event. There are people here from all over North America, and even one visitor from Australia.  Everyone has been enjoying the beautiful environs of Prince Edward Island and the quality of information being exchanged is top notch.  I particularly like the fact that Mark is “drinking his own kool-aid” by setting up a Drupal/Fedora site for the institute.

This should be a great week.
