Hi all Developers & DCAT members, A few quick updates about the OR12 DSpace Developers Mtg in Edinburgh on July 9.
First off, Richard Rodgers (of MIT) has graciously agreed to "emcee" the meeting. This means that Richard's role will be to help keep things moving on schedule and lead some discussion topics. But, we are looking for additional volunteers to act as "Discussion Directors" on specific topics (more on that below). I've just posted a "strawman" / draft agenda based on some brainstorming that Richard & I did yesterday: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DevMtg+2012-07-09+-+OR12+Meeting#DevMtg2012-07-09-OR12Meeting-GeneralAgenda We are looking for feedback on this draft agenda. Anything or everything can still change or we can rearrange/reallocate time as needed. So, we'd appreciate any feedback (positive or negative) you may have. You'll notice there's a few new ideas we came up with this year, including "Lightning Talks" and an "Ask a Developer Anything" sesstion. These are entirely new brainstorms, so any feedback you have on whether you would find these sessions useful/interesting is also welcome. Such feedback may help us rework the agenda or reallocate time as necessary. Finally, you'll notice that there is a "Discussion Director" listed next to several of the topics. As I mentioned, we'd like to find some more volunteers to help throughout the meeting. By acting as a "Discussion Director" your role would just be to try to keep the discussion flowing along (by asking questions or potentially calling on others to participate). You'd be "directing" the group discussion & attempting to keep it on-topic (i.e. you would not be expected to formally present anything or prepare anything in advance). So, if you are interested in helping with part of the meeting or want to learn more, please get in touch with Richard or I! - Tim -- Tim Donohue Technical Lead for DSpace Project DuraSpace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
