The newly established DSpace Development Fund supports the development of new features prioritized by DSpace Governance. For a list of planned features see the fund wiki page.
The Leadership Group is made up of members that contribute annually to the project, along with representatives from the DSpace Community at large who are particularly committed to the Project, including Service Providers.
The group meets monthly and charges the DSpace Steering Group with priorities, projects, and feedback.
The Leadership Group approves the overall priorities and strategic direction of the project by:
- Approving the annual budget allocation and any modifications

- Approving the strategic direction
- Nominating and electing Steering Group members
- Voting on key decisions presented by Steering Group
- Helping to raise funds and secure other resources on behalf of the project

- Platinum - 1 seat per member
- Gold - 1 seat per member
- Silver - 1 seats for every 4 members
Bronze - 1 seat for every 8 members
The Leadership group also benefits from the participation of:
