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

(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)

(May be dropped from list) Contributing to the DSpace Community (similar to the session at 2024 DSpace North American User Group Meeting)

Finding your way through the DSpace Backlog 

  • Description: tutorial on how to navigate and get oriented in the DSpace Backlog complexity (repositories, projects, releases, priority, tag structures, etc.). It will also introduce github concepts (issues vs pr vs commits), how to get all information needed to understand a problem or a feature proposal, finaly how to help test and report test results. This tutorial will be mainly based on my personnal experience.
  • Tutorial presenter: Pierre Lasou

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.
