- Proposal: (to be completed)

Updates on potential merger of DSpace and DSpace-CRIS

- 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.
