- The 5th edition of DSpace Anwendertreffen is in Berlin this year, hosted by the Library of the Technical University Berlin. Over 100 people from Germany, Austria and Switzerland met last week to discuss DSpace case studies and best practices. This was a very important meeting for the DSpace community and for DuraSpace because at this User Group meeting in 2017 the idea of a German Consortium for DSpace membership was launched. As a result today there are 25 new DSpace members in Germany.
- We will also participate in a Digitisation and Digital Preservation Workshop Nov 6-9, 2018 in Nairobi, Kenya ( See "Where We'll Be" below to find out about all the events where DuraSpace staff will be participating this fall.)
