Presentations
"Secrets of the Submission Form", Presented by Bram Luyten, @mire
Learn how your DSpace repository submissions can be easier for you and your content contributors. By modifying your submission configuration you can use these not-so-obvious hints to improve the quality of information in your repository as well as minimizing the time it takes to complete a submission. Topics to include:
- Collection templates: pre-filling certain metadata fields on a per collection basis.
- Reviewer only fields: option to qualify fields in input forms to have them only visible for reviewers in the workflow
- Type based submission: inclusion of certain metadata fields in the form, based on a selected submission type
- Modifying your lists of dropdown values (the lists that are included at the bottom of input-forms.xml)
- Working with hierarchical controlled vocabularies (the XML based subject categories)
- Enabling LC Name authority control for author values
- Collection based Input forms: duplicating an input-forms configuration & showing the match between an input-forms config and a collection
- Simple embargo & private item state
"Breaking down barriers: This is your community, here's how to participate!", Presented by Hardy Pottinger, University of Missouri
If you are new to community-driven open source software development, you may experience barriers to participation. This spirited and opinionated talk will provide an overview of how community-driven open source software projects work. You will be challenged to participate in the community in ways you may have thought were not available to you. Traditional development tools and practices will be faced off against more modern approaches.
Community Show and Tell
Attendees are invited to talk between 5 and 10 minutes about their own current projects. The use of a few key slides is encouraged but not required. This can include but should not be limited to work on the DSpace repository, best practices and lessons learned on:
Budget: how you are managing your repository budget and responding to user needs
Strategic planning: developing a strategy and costing for future development of the repository
Fundraising: sourcing funding opportunities for repository projects
Personnel: coordinating and managing activities of repository personnel and coordinating repository development with associated departments

Structured Networking Session
This is a chance for you to hear from other members of the community and learn what they are working on. Depending on your travel plans, you are invited connect with other users to continue networking over lunch. Here are some possible questions to get the discussion going:
Are you putting a DSpace 1.8 upgrade on your roadmap? Why or why not?
What are your main organizational issues with your repository? (staff time available, boss doesn't want to fund it, researchers don't perceive the value, etc.)
What are your main technical issues with your repository ? (learning curve, staff availability/turnover, working on an older dspace version, etc.)
If there's one thing DuraSpace and/or the community could do for you, that would make YOUR life easier, what would it be?Potential topics for discussion - include upgrading to 4.0, repository bibliometrics, identifiers, APIs, DSpace and CC licenses, JSPUI vs XMLUI.
