We are in the process of ensuring that the data in the DuraSpace Registry, a community driven database that identifies which institutions and organizations around the world use DSpace, Fedora and VIVO, is current. In 2018 there are more than 2,900 installations registered worldwide. We need your help to update this valuable tool to learn who is using what software, how they are using it, and how their use case may be similar to yours. Please take a moment to see if your organization’s repository or VIVO installation is listed on the registry. If not, let us know that you are using DSpace, Fedora or VIVO by sharing information about the software you’re using through our registry. If you find your information is outdated, please use the email link provided at the bottom of your registry entry to tell us what’s new or contact Kristi Searle to update your information.

Invitations have been sent to representatives of each member organization. If you received an invitation we ask you to kindly RSVP by March 12th. We encourage our Platinum and Gold members to send two representatives from their institution and invite our Silver and Bronze members to send one representative. If you wish to send someone in your place please RSVP "no" and you'll be prompted to enter the name and email of who you'd like us to invite in your place. Our two-day summit will include a presentation of the 2017-2018 DuraSpace Strategic Summary, highlighting key 2017 achievements and priorities for the year ahead including emerging projects, partnerships, and programs. Leaders of our community open source projects, DSpace, Fedora, and VIVO will give updates keeping members current on each project's status, accomplishments, and goals. A reception will follow the first day offering an opportunity to connect socially with DuraSpace staff and members over light refreshments. Day two will provide multiple opportunities for small and large group discussions to hear from you about how DuraSpace can help you achieve your key priorities. Each open source project will hold their own meeting as well, organized by Project Steering Groups, to discuss goals, objectives, and resources for 2018.Prior to the Summit additional program details will be sent to attendees. Please contact Kristi Searle if you have any questions. Those attending will receive the agenda and additional materials by April 6th. We'll be sure to provide all of our members with a complete Summit Summary in April's member newsletter. If you have any questions regarding the summit please contact Kristi Searle.
As a valued Member of DuraSpace is your organization listed on our User Registry?
In 2018 there are over 2,900 organizations worldwide using DSpace, Fedora or VIVO. The DuraSpace Registry is a community driven database that identifies which institutions and organizations around the world use DuraSpace software. The registry not only offers basic information about the repository or VIVO but can also include software versions, customizations, types of content, etc. The registry was designed to be a useful tool and resource to all users in our community encouraging the sharing of information and building connections among institutions and repository instances with similar goals and interests.
In order to maximize the usefulness of the registry it is imperative that our users register their instance and/or ensure their information is up to date. Please take a moment to see if your organization’s repository or instance is listed on the registry. If not, let us know that you are using DSpace, Fedora or VIVO by sharing information about the software you’re using through our registry. If you find your information is outdated, please use the email link provided at the bottom of your registry entry to tell us what’s new or contact Kristi Searle to update your information (please include your registry id#).
