Dear Friends,

The October DuraSpace look across the scholarly ecosystem landscape includes several notable highlights:

• We announced a new strategic partnership with OpenAIRE aimed at ensuring that repositories are using up-to-date technologies and adopting international standards and protocols.
  
• A Fedora and Samvera Camp is happening at the Berlin State Library November 5 – 8, 2018 in collaboration with Data Curation Experts.
  
• VIVO was recently highlighted at Force 11 in Montreal.
• We welcome Ontocale, our newest participant in the DuraSpace Service Provider (DSP) program. Ontocale is a Certified DuraSpace Contributor offering VIVO services. (link to come)
• As our global community continues to expand DuraSpace is pleased to announce the first Country-specific Webinar Series, offered with the support of Neki IT, focused on DSpace in Brazil. The series will be presented in the Portuguese language.

Thank you for supporting our work on these and other initiatives aimed at providing enduring access to the world’s digital heritage.

Warm regards,

Erin Tripp

Interim CEO
