DuraSpace has launched its 2018 webinars program. Workshop webinars will be offered free of charge each month focused on applied use of our open source technologies. Workshop webinar slides and recordings are available after each presentation. In February David Wilcox presented "Getting Started with Fedora." This presentation provided an overview of the software and basic concepts, examples of deployments, and an overview and demonstration of the core and extended features. slides and recording available: http://duraspace.org/articles/3371. on On March 28 Erin Tripp will present Open Source Repository Upgrades: Top Advice from Practitioners summarizing advice so participants can benefit from the experience of their peers and plan for the best project possible: http://duraspace.org/articles/3353.

We are excited to be co-hosting the first DuraSpace-euroCRIS Interoperability Event with our Strategic Partner euroCRIS. The DSpace and CRIS Systems one-day Workshop will focus on interoperability between DSpace repositories and CRIS systems in advance of the CRIS 2018 Conference in Umeå, Sweden - on Wednesday, June 13, 2018.
During the DSpace and CRIS systems workshop, DSpace users will have a great opportunity to meet to identify existing examples of integration between DSpace and CRIS systems and to discuss functionalities that DSpace could implement in the future in order to more effectively support workflows traditionally associated with Research Information Systems.
Members of the DSpace community are encouraged to send their workshop proposal using this form.
We take this opportunity to remind you about the deadline for CRIS2018 Conference submissions -- please feel free to submit your contributions at http://www.cris2018.se/cfp/ until Mon Mar 19th 2018 at midnight CET.
