Dear DSpace community,

I would like to introduce to you two new hires to the DSpace  
Foundation, Valorie Hollister ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Lauren L'Esperance  
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Valorie is the community outreach manager and her role is to work  
closely  with the community to  promote DSpace, and develop programs  
and tools to support to the DSpace user( non technical) community.   
Some of the key initial projects Val will be working on are-

-Management of content on the website of interest to the community-  
such as the "featured DSpace site", news, events, publications and  
training materials
-Launch of an online Newsletter monthly which will promote the work  
being done in the community, and give updates on what projects the  
foundation is undertaking
-Survey of the user community to get input on how the foundation can  
best serve their needs for the future in developing programs,tools,  
partnerships ect.
-developing a master list of all DSpace sites and contacts worldwide  
to reference for collaboration, promotion, input ect.

infrastructure, layout, new sections ect. in regards to the website  
and any other communication tools we add to the Foundation.  Lauren
