Dear ArchivesSpace Community, The ASpace Kansas City Regional Forum is just 3 weeks away! Registration is currently open!<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/archivesspace-regional-forum-kansas-city-2018-tickets-50618209427>
We are thrilled to share that during this forum, we plan to offer a session in the afternoon that highlights the diverse phases of ArchivesSpace implementation. During this session, we invite organizations to provide a quick 5 minute overview on where their institution is currently at with implementation, as well as any challenges they're facing as they move forward into the next phase. Following the overview, we will open up for a 10-15 minute group conversation sharing any insights, ideas, or lessons learned to help you navigate into your next stage. We are looking to represent a diverse spectrum of community organizations, including public libraries, academic institutions, museums, religious organizations, and historical societies. We encourage smaller institutions as well as lone arrangers to consider participating in this session. Please let me know if you are attending the forum and would be interested in participating in this session. Program specifics continue to be shaped by the working group. The most current information is available on the ArchivesSpace wiki<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/728662017/Kansas+City+Regional+Forum+-+November+2018>. Thanks!

GitHub is a web-based service that offers the functionality of Git plus additional features that enhance collaboration and project management. The combination of Git and GitHub creates a redundant, transparent, and reproducible work environment. However, accessing items available on GitHub (such as ArchivesSpace source code, documentation, and migration scripts) can be confusing and frustrating without training and practice. This workshop will introduce you to the basics of using Git on the command line, setting up your own GitHub repository, and contributing to projects hosted on GitHub. This workshop will also introduce you to using Markdown for formatting plain text files. You do not need to have any prior knowledge of Git, GitHub, Markdown, or the Unix-style command line to attend. Afternoon program: The afternoon session will highlight stories and experiences through presentations and group discussions. A catered lunch will be provided. * Speaker submissions: Currently accepting submissions!
