*Acknowledgements*

The DSpace application would not exist without the hard work and support

of the community. We would like to say a big THANK YOU to Stuart Lewis 
the Release Manager from the University of Auckland Library. Stuart 
truly innovated the DSpace software release process for 1.6. From 
soliciting community input through the survey, to finding teams to work 
on new major feature development, to writing code himself, Stuart was 
committed to making sure the release included improvements the community

most desired. We'd also like to extend gratitude to the developers who 
have worked very hard to deliver all the new features and improvements. 
And thanks to the users and community members who provided input and 
feedback on the development, as well those who participated in the "Big 
Bug Hunt" testing. Much gratitude to Jeffery Trimble from Youngstown 
State University for the major renovations on the 1.6 documentation. 
More details on the various release contributors can be found in the 
Preface of the 1.6.0 Documentation (we apologize in advance if we 
accidentally left anyone out).

Give yourselves and your colleagues a pat on the back today!  Again, 
none of this could have happened without your hard work and support.

Thanks again!  Enjoy DSpace 1.6.0, and let us know what you think!

Sincerely,

The DSpace Developers

All,

The DSpace Committers group would like to extend a general call to the 
DSpace Community for nominations of individuals to add to our Committers

group.  New Committers may be nominated by anyone in the Community at 
any time.


* Roles and Duties of a Committer *

Being a committer means participating in the evolution of the DSpace 
platform, typically by making changes to the source code, improving 
documentation, or managing the integration of contributions made by the 
community at large. But, it also means having a voice and an official 
vote on technical, administrative and release management issues, 
providing your expertise and guidance on the lists, organizing testing,
etc.

We are mindful of the fact that no one is being paid to do this, and no 
specific time commitment is required or expected; in fact we *do* expect

that one's involvement will fluctuate over time with job duties. Nor is 
there any specified term of office - one's job responsibilities may 
change over time, and also one's ability to devote time to DSpace.


* Why Become a Committer? *

Becoming a committer means that you have a voice and an official vote on

decisions around the evolution of the DSpace platform.  It also gives 
you an opportunity to develop leadership skills in an friendly, open 
source community.


* Committer Requirements *

Although there are no explicit requirements to become a committer, 
generally we look for someone who has shown initiative and/or has been 
an active participant in the DSpace Community.  Participation may be in 
the form of actively helping people on mailing lists, submitting code 
patches/features, presenting on DSpace at conferences, leading 
workshops, or generally volunteering time to help with any DSpace 
initiative.

It's worth noting that committers need not be highly technical in 
nature.  We only ask that you make a commitment to bettering DSpace in 
some way.  Anyone who shows the initiative and interest in making DSpace

better is eligible.


* How to Nominate Someone *

New committers may be nominated by anyone in the DSpace Community at any

time.  You can even nominate yourself.

In your nomination, please explain why you feel this individual (or 
individuals) should be added to the Committers group.  Generally, we are

just looking for references to his/her active participation in the 
DSpace Community.

Send new committer nominations to DSpace Tech Lead, Tim Donohue 
([email protected]), or any of the existing DSpace Committers.  A 
current listing of Committers can be found on our wiki:
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpaceContributors

Again, there is no specific timeline for nominations.  Nominations may 
be made at any time.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Sincerely,

The DSpace Committers Group

Hi, Hardik~

Data providers distribute metadata about items (i.e. a DSpace instance 
like http://ucispace.lib.uci.edu/).

Service providers generally make use of the metadata distributed by data

providers.  For example, OAIster scans the records of more than 1,000 
data providers, and provides federated searching 
(http://www.oclc.org/oaister/).

Data Provider
A Data Provider maintains one or more repositories (web servers) that
support the OAI-PMH as a means of exposing metadata.
(OAI definition quoted from FAQ on OAI Web site)

Service Provider
A Service Provider issues OAI-PMH requests to data providers and uses
the metadata as a basis for building value-added services.
(OAI definition quoted from FAQ on OAI Web site)
A Service Provider in this manner is "harvesting" the metadata exposed
by Data Providers
