Hi developers & DCAT members, Based on your feedback over the last few days and based on feedback/comments from yesterday's DSpace Developers Meeting, I've made some updates to the OR12 Meeting agenda
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DevMtg+2012-07-09+-+OR12+Meeting#DevMtg2012-07-09-OR12Meeting-GeneralAgenda The biggest update here is that Jonathan Markow, DuraSpace's Chief Strategy Officer, has kindly offered to stop by in the morning and talk about DuraSpace strategies/directions and give some updates on Fedora directions and even the "DSpace with Fedora Inside" idea. Based on comments from developers, everyone seems excited to get a chance to hear updates and have a Q&A with Jonathan. Because of this new "DuraSpace / Fedora / Fedora Inside" session, we've had to rework much of the morning schedule. Specifically the "Lightning Talks" and "Ask a Developer" sessions were dropped. However, as several others have pointed out, those could be done more in an "ad-hoc" or informal way either at lunch or after the meeting at the pub. (By the way, for those interested, we now have a local pub chosen to gather at after the meeting, the Pear Tree House. More details in the agenda above.) Feedback is still encouraged & welcome. There are also opportunities to act as a "Discussion Director" for particular topic sessions. The agenda is definitely starting to take shape, but there is room for tweaks if needed. - Tim On 6/8/2012 3:29 PM, Tim Donohue wrote: > 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.
