Apologies for the cross posting.
Dear DSpace Community,
There will be a one day DSpace User Group Meeting on November 10, 2010 in
Baltimore, Maryland, immediately following the SPARC Digital Repositories
Meeting (http://www.arl.org/sparc/media/10-0513.shtml) on November 8 and 9.
A big thank you to @mire (http://atmire.com/), a Registered DSpace Service
Provider, who is sponsoring the DSpace meeting.
As the DSpace Global Outreach Committee plans the user group meeting, we are
looking for community feedback on what type of content would be most
interesting to include. For anyone who may attend, we'd like to know what you
are most interested in hearing about.
Please email me (vhollis...@duraspace.org) your feedback on the top content
items you would like to see -- either based on the list of possible
presentations below or add your own ideas for content.

Director of Community Development, DSpace Project
