The primary goal of the DSpace Global Outreach Committee (DGOC) is to help identify or develop resources and tools for DSpace users and as well as to advance the user community network world-wide.
For a list of DGOC projects, visit the DGOC Project page .
The following are a list of potential activities for the committee members. However, committee members will help refine and establish what is important for their region/country. Estimated time for each committee member is around 10 hours a month.
The committee meets monthly via a conference call. We hold two different calls to accommodate members from different time zones.
Committee members are volunteers from the world-wide DSpace user community. Members will be primarily made up of individuals who function as DSpace repository managers at their institution and have the ability and interest in building or further developing their DSpace user community network. The committee aims to have representatives from variety of countries/regions in order to provide broad support the DSpace user community.
