Developers Meeting before OR11 on Mon, June 6, 2011

Face-to-face developer's meeting on topic of DSpace RoadMap just before Open Repositories 2011 in Austin, Texas.

Who is invited?

If you don't fall into one of the above categories, you are still welcome to attend. However, be warned that discussion will likely get very technical at times (which is why we recommend you be a developer or have a technology background).

Space is limited. Please sign up on the Sign Up sheet below. If we begin to achieve capacity, preference will be given to Committers or DCAT Members. However, we welcome any interested DSpace developers to join us and take part in the discussion!

Logistics

  • Day: Monday, June 6th, 2011
  • Time: Not yet known. We've asked for at least 4 hours, more if possible.
  • Where: Not yet known. We will likely have a room on the University of Texas campus, not far from the conference hotel.
  • Expected Attendance: 20-30 people max (exact room capacity is unknown at this time)

Note on Accommodations

If you're planning on staying at the OR conference hotel, be advised that the conference rate of $129/night is only available from June 7th onward. The OR11 website accommodations page has a list of alternative hotels you may wish to choose from for the nights of June 5th and 6th.

General Agenda

What follows is a very high level agenda overview. More details will be coming as we get closer to OR11. If you have any items you'd like to see added to the agenda, please forward them to Tim Donohue.

  • Discussion of DSpace RoadMap
    • See Proposed RoadMap to 2.0 for some very early RoadMap ideas/brainstorms. We'll likely dig deeper into specifics during this face-to-face meeting.
  • Discussion of DSpace 1.8.0 as pertaining to RoadMap
  • Discussion of collaboration between DCAT & Committers groups. Are there ways to improve/enhance what we are already doing?
  • Other DSpace Technology-related Discussions

Informal Evening Meet-Up

As usual, after the meeting, there will be an informal meet-up somewhere in town for anyone who wants to go out for dinner or drinks. Similar to last year, we are planning to coordinate evening events with the Fedora Developers, so that we can all meet up and intermingle. Details are still forthcoming, and will be posted here as we get closer to OR11.
