The OR2025 conference is an in-person only conference taking place June 15-18, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  See https://or2025.openrepositories.org/

DSpace Workshops

DSpace Developer Meet-Up and Q&A (similar to session at OR2024)

  • Description: This half day workshop provides an opportunity for developers at institutions using DSpace to discuss recent DSpace releases, share what they are working on, ask questions and find collaborators.
    • NOTE: This is not a training-style workshop.  It's more of an unconference-style, meet-up opportunity for DSpace Committers and Developers to share ideas & feedback on upcoming releases and features.
  • Workshop Facilitators: TBD (possibly Pascal-Nicolas Becker and/or Tim Donohue )
  • Proposal:  (to be completed)

Updates on potential merger of DSpace and DSpace-CRIS 

(NOTE: Unclear if panel is the right format for this discussion. But, it seems like it gives the most opportunity to sharing different perspectives and providing a longer Q&A with the audience)

  • Panelists: (Maureen, Steering members?  4Science?)
    • Tim and Holger can help with content
  • Description: This panel session will provide updates on the merger discussions between DSpace and DSpace-CRIS.  What are the next steps?  Is there a roadmap to share yet?  How can others get involved?
    • This session should provide ample time for Q&A to ensure questions about the merger from attendees can be answered.
