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

All ideas listed below are simply proposals. Any proposals must be reviewed/approved by the OR2025 planning committee before they are officially presented at OR2025.

DSpace Workshops

(Please add in a description of any workshop proposals you plan to submit to OR2025. You are also welcome to provide a link to your proposal if you'd like others to provide feedback.)

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)

Contributing to the DSpace Community (similar to the session at 2024 DSpace North American User Group Meeting)

Description: Workshop on how the DSpace Community is structured and how you can contribute. See "Contributing to the DSpace Community" at 2024 DSpace North American User Group Meeting
- May also include a session on Testing DSpace Github Pull Requests by Pierre Lasou
Workshop Facilitators: Holger Lenz and Tim Donohue (possibly also Pierre Lasou )

DSpace Panel Discussions

(Please add in a description of any presentation proposals you plan to submit to OR2025. You are also welcome to provide a link to your proposal if you'd like others to provide feedback.)

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: (Tim or Holger, Steering members? 4Science?)
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.
