*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 questions to get the discussion going:
Are you putting a DSpace 1.7 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?
