>> Dear DSpace and Fedora User Communities,
>>
>> Do you have experience using DSpace or Fedora? Could you write a description
>> of the Fedora Digital Object Data Model? Could you record a short screencast
>> on how to maximize DSpace’s batch metadata editing feature? If so, you could
>> win a $50 Amazon gift card!
>>
>> Beginning on February 1, DuraSpace will be holding a monthly drawing to
>> encourage content contributions to the new KnowledgeBase
>> (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/KB/Welcome+to+KnowledgeBase). The
>> KnowledgeBase is an initiative aimed at improving the training and
>> educational resources available to the DSpace and Fedora user communities.
>> Once it is populated with content, this wiki-based resource will help new
>> users get a repository up and running as well as perform various basic
>> administrative tasks using a variety of delivery tools (text-based guides,
>> images, diagrams, screencasts, presentation slides, webinars, etc.). The
>> usefulness of the KnowledgeBase depends on the collaborative efforts of the
>> DSpace and Fedora user communities. For the next several months if you
>> create content you not only help the community but you could win a chance to
>> help yourself to something on your Amazon wish list!
>>
>> Drawing Details
>>
>> Each month DuraSpace will put out the call for new content contributions to
>> the KnowledgeBase. Contributors can create any type of content the wish --
>> text-based guides, images, diagrams, screencasts, etc. to address any topic
>> under the existing topic outline for either DSpace
>> (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSpaceKB/DSpace+KnowledgeBase) or Fedora
>> (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FedoraKB/Fedora+KnowledgeBase).
>> All entries must be posted to the appropriate wiki page by contributors by
>> the last day of the month.
>> All entries will be validated to ensure submissions meet the minimum entry
>> requirement which is either, 1) a complete text guide for an existing
>> outline topic or for an additional supplemental topic, or 2) a complete
>> screencast for one outline topic/subtopic, approximately 5 minutes in
>> length.
>> Contributors may use adapt/update previously published material (The DSpace
>> Course http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/handle/2160/615, Fedora Tutorial
>> https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FEDORACREATE/Tutorial+1+-+Introduction+to+Fedora,
>> etc.), although appropriate attribution should be footnoted.
>> A random drawing will determine a winner of that month's $50 Amazon gift
>> card, which will be awarded within 7 days.
>> Anyone outside of DuraSpace employees/contract employees is eligible to
>> participate.
>> Individuals may enter the contest more than once in the same month to
>> increase their chances of winning and may also win for multiple months.
>> Take a Look
>>
>> The KnowledgeBase was developed in consultation with the community and was
>> designed to allow for as much flexibility and community contributions --
>> however large or small -- as possible. Content is easy to contribute using
>> the familiar DuraSpace wiki environment. Simply edit or add pages the same
>> way you do anywhere else on the wiki. Any suggestions you may have for
>> making the content more useful, more relevant for the community is always
>> welcomed. Either use the "Comment" section at the bottom of each page or
>> email Valorie Hollister at vhollis...@duraspace.org.
