<forwarding on behalf of program(me) committee - Tom>

Good news for those working hard on proposals for this year�s Open Repositories Conference in Edinburgh � we�re extending the submission deadline for papers & workshops by 2 weeks until March 5th. Whether your proposal is for the general conference track, or more suited to the user group tracks for EPrints, DSpace and Fedora, you�ve got 14 more days to refine your ideas for papers. The remaining dates in the process are not expected to shift, so you�ll still have plenty of time to make arrangements to attend.

5th Mar 2012 Deadline for papers, workshops& user group sessions
31st Mar 2012 Deadline for posters, Pecha Kucha and demos
6th Apr 2012 Workshop/paper submitters notified
11th May 2012 Poster/demo/Pecha Kucha submitters notified
9th Jul 2012 Conference pre-workshops begin

Workshop proposals can be made now by email to [log in to unmask]; we�ve already received a number of exciting ideas so we would encourage you not to wait until the deadline if you haven�t already been in touch.

Due to a glitch with the submission system we can�t yet take paper submissions but we expect this to be resolved next week, and we�ll make an announcement at that time. Full details will be provided on the OR2012 web site at http://or2012.ed.ac.uk/ 

This year�s event will also have more space for informal, unconference-style contributions as well as the Developer Challenge. If a full paper isn�t for you, consider contributing in another way. We�ll be releasing more details nearer the event. This will include Pecha Kuchas and poster sessions with a deadline of the 31st of March.
