Purpose

To formulate, discuss, and prioritize the next steps in the Fedora Roadmap.  We hope to leave this two-day meeting with a clear vision of the development priorities of the core repository service for the next year, and a good sense of who can contribute to accomplishing them. 

Where/When.

  • Feb 23rd: 10am - 6pm
  • Feb 24th: 10am - 6pm
  • We will be meeting in room 1.62 (room 62 on the first floor) of the Franklin-Wilkins Building on the Waterloo Campus of Kings College London. That campus is south of the Thames, very near Waterloo rail and underground stations. See maps at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/about/campuses/waterloo.html. The entrance to the building is on Stamford street where there is a reception that can point you towards the room. Coming out of the Waterloo Underground, there will be a varitey of exits. Head for the Waterloo Bridge and/or Kings College.
  • For those arriving at Heathrow Airport there are two relatively inexpensive ways to get into London. If you take the Underground, you will be on the Picadilly line, costing around 4 pounds and takes 45-60 minutes to get to central London stops. There is also the Heathrow Connect service that goes to Paddington Station (where you can connect to the Underground), costs 7.90 pounds and takes about 30 minutes. If you want to take this, follow the signs to the Heathrow Express. They run on the same tracks but the Express costs twice as much, but it is direct to Paddington in about 15 minutes.
