DuraSpace is excited to announce that its project, Open Sourcing DuraCloud: Beyond the License has been selected as a featured project for the Mozilla Foundation Global Sprint to be held May 10th - 11th, 2018. The Global Sprint is a collaborative event meant to “hack and build projects for a healthy internet.” The Sprint will allow people from many backgrounds -- students, journalists, librarians, educators, and anyone else interested in supporting the open internet -- to come together for two days and work to improve open projects that make the internet better, safer and healthier. See our blog post to learn more and sign up to participate.
