'''By train'''
 +
 
 +
Trains to London are often faster than driving or flying, and provide a greener form of transportation. London is the hub of the UK's rail network, with frequent services to all corners of the country from the city's centrally-located mainline railway stations. Rail services in the UK are run by a set of private train operating companies. Your point of departure will determine the best service to take and at what station your train will arrive in London.
 +
 
 +
If you're coming from Europe, the Eurostar train via the Channel Tunnel is also a great option. 'High Speed 1' delivers a faster, more reliable, less environmentally damaging alternative to flying from St Pancras station with connections that bring Eurostar services to travellers across the UK.

London is easy to reach using the UK's motorway network – with the M1, M2, M3, M4, M11, M20, M23, M25 and M40 motorways in or near London – as well as a multitude of major A-roads. All of London's motorways intersect the M25 orbital motorway. Parking can prove difficult - National Car Parks (NCP) runs about 100 car parks in London. A [https://www.visitlondon.com/traveller-information/getting-around-london/congestion-charge Congestion Charge] applies to drivers of most vehicles in Central London between 7 am and 6 pm, Monday to Friday.

We're excited to announce our fourth AtoM Camp, co-hosted by the University of Westminster and Artefactual! Inspired by similar events like Hydra Camp, Islandora Camp and Fedora Camp, AtoM Camp is intended to provide a space for anyone interested in or currently using AtoM to come together, learn about the platform from other users, and share their experiences.

Tip

We're also hosting an Archivematica Camp in London! July 10-12, 2019, at the London School of Economics. For more details, see the Archivematica wiki:

Dates & Location

July 15th -17th, 2019 - Cavendish Campus at the University of Westminster

115 New Cavendish Street, London, United Kingdom, W1W 6UW

Accessibility

The Cavendish Campus building is wheelchair accessible, with a ramp and automatic doors at the entrance. There are elevators inside for access to other floors.

A detailed accessibility profile for the building is available at: https://www.accessable.co.uk/venues/115-new-cavendish-street

  • The nearest mainline station is Euston.
  • There is a bus stop within 150m (164yds) of the venue.
  • The nearest underground station is Great Portland Street.

Getting to London

By air

London has five major airports: London City, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Luton and London Stansted. There are several options for each airport for transport into London.

  • London Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports have dedicated express train services into central London.
  • London Heathrow and City airports are directly connected to the Tube network.
  • National Express, Easybus and Greenline coach transfers run 24 hours a day and start as low as £2 when booked in advance.
  • Car hire is also available at every airport should you prefer to drive.

By train

Trains to London are often faster than driving or flying, and provide a greener form of transportation. London is the hub of the UK's rail network, with frequent services to all corners of the country from the city's centrally-located mainline railway stations. Rail services in the UK are run by a set of private train operating companies. Your point of departure will determine the best service to take and at what station your train will arrive in London.

If you're coming from Europe, the Eurostar train via the Channel Tunnel is also a great option. 'High Speed 1' delivers a faster, more reliable, less environmentally damaging alternative to flying from St Pancras station with connections that bring Eurostar services to travellers across the UK.

By car

London is easy to reach using the UK's motorway network – with the M1, M2, M3, M4, M11, M20, M23, M25 and M40 motorways in or near London – as well as a multitude of major A-roads. All of London's motorways intersect the M25 orbital motorway. Parking can prove difficult - National Car Parks (NCP) runs about 100 car parks in London. A Congestion Charge applies to drivers of most vehicles in Central London between 7 am and 6 pm, Monday to Friday.

Registration

Registration is now open!

This year, we are also running an Archivematica Camp in London the week before AtoM Camp (July 10-12), hosted by the London School of Economics. More details can be found on the Archivematica wiki. If you register for both camps, we'll knock an additional £25 off the cost of each Camp, for a total savings of £50! We also have an early bird rate - registration will be £50 cheaper if you sign up before May 11, 2019!

  • £375 Early bird (register before June 1, 2019) - extended!
  • £350 Early bird with 2-Camp discount (must also register for Archivematica Camp London)
  • £425 Regular registration (after June 1 - July 14, 2019)
  • £400 Regular 2-Camp discount (must also register for Archivematica Camp London)

Camp Counselors

At all of the camps that Artefactual hosts, we seek to provide attendees with counselors who have a wide range of experience with the software. Supplementing members of the Artefactual crew will be counselors who have extensive experience with AtoM as users and administrators.

Vicky Phillips

Vicky Phillips is Digital Standards Manager at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. She helped with the AtoM implementation project in the Library back in 2015 and has overseen the upgrade to version 2.4 of AtoM in 2017. She is currently working with a programmer in NLW to embed the Universal Viewer in AtoM so that visibility of their digitised material held in their digital repository is visible through AtoM.

Dan Gillean

Dan serves as AtoM Program Manager and provides quality assurance testing, requirements analysis, documentation, technical support and community dialogue for Artefactual’s AtoM and Archivematica projects. He completed his Dual MAS/MLIS degree at the University of British Columbia’s School of Library, Archival, and Information Studies (SLAIS) in 2013. When he’s not trying to convince the archival profession to embrace linked open data, he can usually be found under a tree reading sci-fi, or in his bedroom twiddling knobs for his latest music project.

José Raddaoui

"Radda" has been part of Artefactual's team since 2012. He's a software developer working remotely from Seville (Spain) and he contributes in a wide variety of projects.

Corinne Rogers

Corinne joined Artefactual in 2018 as a Systems Archivist, and provides analysis, quality assurance testing, documentation, and training for AtoM. She's an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia’s School of Library, Archival, and Information Studies where she teaches Digital Records Forensics, and before joining Artefactual was the Project Coordinator for InterPARES Trust. At home she plays the harpsichord and trains her dog, Emma.

Schedule

The schedule is a work in progress. Depending on the make-up of the campers, sessions might range from AtoM 101 for absolute beginners to command line tools to systems administration. We look forward to welcoming campers with a wide range of experience with AtoM!

AtoM Feature development

Thinking of developing a new feature or customization for AtoM? This session will expand upon the code overview session and introduce best practices for developing features - and sharing them back with the community. A look at plugin registration, major modules, functions and classes, as well as how Artefactual performs code review and public code management, including things to consider when planning a development project and submitting code to the public AtoM branch.

1:15pm - 2:45pm Future of AtoM/project governance

This session will cover AtoM's history and current maintenance model, paired with a look at different maintenance and governance models used by other open source projects in the cultural heritage sector. We'll conclude by discussing where the AtoM project - and the AtoM community - is headed, and brainstorm ideas of what we'd like to see in a next-generation version of AtoM.

2:45pm - 3:30pm Open Discussion, Q&A, and AtoM 2.5 new feature demo

Last chance to ask us anything we haven't addressed during the Camp, or open a topic for discussion with your peers! We'll also take some time to show off some of the exciting new features that are included in the 2.5 release, for those who haven't had a chance to see them yet.

3:30pm - 3:45pm Closing and goodbyes


Is there something you think we're missing from the list? When you register, there will be a field to suggest any other topics you want us to cover. If there's a critical mass of people who want to discuss a particular topic, we'll cover it! During the camp, we'll also leave lots of space to adjust the schedule to give time to specific topics as they come up.

Things to do

There are a number of museums and galleries close to the Camp location, including UCL's Grant Museum of Zoology, Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, and the UCL Art Museum; Pollock's Toy Museum; the Cartoon Museum; the Woolff Gallery; the Magda Danysz Gallery, and more. The beautifully restored Fitzrovia Chapel is also nearby for those who love architecture. For those who prefer street art, there is a Banksy stencil just under the BT Tower, at the corner of Clipstone and Cleveland Street. Just a couple blocks away you'll also find Fitzroy Square, a quaint little park overlooked by residences once occupied by George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf. For more greenery, Regent's Park is about a 15-20 minute walk northwest from the Camp location.

The nearby Fitzroy Tavern was once a haunt of luminaries such as Jacob Epstein, Nina Hamnett, Dylan Thomas, Augustus John, and George Orwell. Meanwhile, Mr. Fogg's House of Botanicals offers a botanical themed cocktail bar filled with flora and fauna inspired by the travels of Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days. There are plenty of other bars, taverns, and clubs within easy walking distance. Charlotte street in particular is known for its cafes, restaurants, and bars. If you've got money to burn and nice clothes to wear, Berners Tavern is known for both its high-end cuisine and stunning decor.

Elsewhere in London there much to do and see - more than we can list here! But you'll find many handy guides and recommendations online for one of the most famous cities in the world.

Code of Conduct

The AtoM community is dedicated to providing a welcoming and positive experience for everyone, whether they are in a formal session or a social setting related to an AtoM event, or are taking part in activities online. AtoM community participants come from all over the world and bring with them a wide variety of professional, personal and social backgrounds; whatever these may be, we treat colleagues with dignity and respect. We are sensitive to the fact that the international nature of the AtoM community means that we span many different social norms around language and behaviour and we strive to conduct ourselves in ways that are unlikely to cause offense. In the event that someone’s conduct is causing offense or distress, the AtoM Camp has a detailed Anti-Harassment Policy, details below, which can be applied to address the problem.

The first step in dealing with any serious misconduct is to contact a member of the organizing group, or a counsellor at an AtoM Camp (please see counsellors, below). These people will be made known before and during any AtoM Camp event.

Anti-Harassment Policy

The AtoM community is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference/camp experience for everyone. If you have been harassed, please consult this protocol for conflict resolution which makes clear how we can help.

The AtoM community has established the following policy to make it clear that we do not tolerate harassment in any form. Sexual or discriminatory language and imagery are not appropriate for any event venue, including talks, or any other communication channel used during the conference (such as social media).

Harassment includes:

  • offensive verbal comments related to sex, gender, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, age, race, religion;
  • sexual or discriminatory images in public spaces;
  • deliberate intimidation;
  • stalking;
  • harassing photography or recording;
  • sustained disruption of talks or other events;
  • inappropriate physical contact; and
  • unwelcome sexual attention.

The lingua franca of AtoM Camp is English; however, English may not be the native language of AtoM Camp participants. Further, cultural norms around what may be considered obscene and offensive communication will vary among AtoM Camp attendees. Campers are asked to please be mindful of the international character of AtoM Camp, and to use respectful and clear language free of slang to facilitate communication.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, event organizers and AtoM representatives (or their designees) may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expulsion from the AtoM Camp, or contacting a higher authority such as a representative from the offender’s institution.

If a participant raises a concern relating to actions covered by this policy in good faith, there will be no retaliation for bringing forward their concern. Threatening or taking action against someone for invoking this policy or for participating in any related investigation will be considered a violation of this policy.

Participants are expected to follow the anti-harassment policy at all Camp-related venues, Camp-related social events, and online communication channels

We expect attendees and speakers past and present to be respectful to each other, and we will deal with any incidents that arise, including on social media.

We value your participation in the AtoM community and your support in keeping the AtoM community a safe, welcoming, and friendly space for fellow participants.

This policy is based on the PASIG Code of Conduct, portions of which were modified from the Open Repositories’ code of conduct, which was itself modified from Seattle Attic’s code of conduct and the Ada Initiative’s event harassment policy.
