Dear DSpace community member: This email is a quick reminder of the following event (see email below) happening in less than 24 hours. We really would value your time and input. Without it we will won¹t know in which directions to focus our developments. If you have bugs to report or new features to contribute, please get these submitted to JIRA before the event. If you would like to get more involved with the technical development of DSpace, please come along and volunteer to address some of the issues that we examine.
The event will take place online in the #duraspace IRC room. Details of how to access this can be found at http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpaceResources#IRC_channel The event is scheduled to start at 18:00 *GMT* on Tuesday 25th August. A set of instructions about how the meeting will be run will be given out at the start of the meeting, then we can look at each issue and decide if it should stay in JIRA or be closed, and if it stays, try to identify an owner to own the issue and bring it to completion.
