ORE Challenge at RepoCamp

[Simeon Warner]

ORE Challenge at RepoCamp

There will be a cash prize of $2000, sponsored by Microsoft Research,
for the the best prototype that uses and promotes OAI-ORE. Entries
will be considered and judged with the following criteria:

1) The prototype must leverage the value of OAI-ORE [1,2].

2) The prototype must surface OAI-ORE powered functionality at the
end-user level (e.g. in a browser). OAI-ORE should not only be hidden
plumbing.

3) The more potential the prototype has to promote ORE within and beyond
the repository community the better!

4) This challenge is open to teams from anywhere, whether or not they
attend RepoCamp [3]. There will be time at RepoCamp allocated for the
formulation of teams and development of entries.

5) The competition deadline for prototype entries is August 8th (two
weeks on from RepoCamp). Entries must be sent as five minute or
shorter screen casts that can be judged remotely (the panel will
include Savas Parastatidis, David Flanders, Rob Sanderson and Tim
DiLauro). See the RepoCamp website [3] for evolving RepoCamp
information and later for submission instructions.

6) Submitted screen casts will be made public on the OAI website.
