This half day workshop provides an opportunity for developers at institutions using DSpace to discuss recent DSpace releases, share what they are working on, ask questions and find collaborators.

At the beginning of the workshop, an overview of DSpace 8.0 will be presented, with a focus on features/changes that developers may want to be aware of. Information on the upcoming roadmap to 9.0 will also be shared (based on priorities established by DSpace Steering Group). Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions about recent releases and the upcoming roadmap.

The remainder of the workshop will provide opportunities for developer presentation and discussion. Attendees are encouraged to bring anything they have built or are planning to build for DSpace. Demonstrations are welcome/encouraged. This is an opportunity to receive feedback from other developers or find potential collaborators. DSpace Committers will be in attendance to answer questions or provide tips/tricks. Committers will similarly share any new features they may be working on (or brainstorming) for future releases.
