Kataria. I am very dis-hearted by the fact that so much have been going
with the new release of Dspace 1.5, but one thing has been seriously
lacking. There aren’t any proper installation guides available for
1.5, anywhere!! Even the dspace web site still points to version 1.4
only.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

that is basically that…. It simply doesn’t want to install
– so what do I do now? IRC channel is very quiet, possible because
of the time zone. I have connected directly through ADSL, but still no
go. The release notes only outlines the steps, but no details on trouble
shooting steps are provided. The dspace.org website install notes
haven’t been updated yet. I cry out to the mountains…. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Subject: [Dspace-general] DSpace 1.5 training<br>
<br>
Dear members of the community,<br>
<br>
At the upcoming JASIG conference in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Minneapolis</st1:City></st1:place>
April 27-April 30, <br>
Mark Diggory will be giving training for DSpace users (sys admins and <br>
developers) on how to upgrade your DSpace instance from 1.4 to 1.5 and <br>
how to develop your site using Manakin. Mark is a key contributor
in <br>
the DSpace community, a DSpace system manager from MIT and a committer <br>
in the DSpace community. He was instrumental in launching 1.5 and <br>
moving DSpace onto Maven.<br>
<br>
The training will take place on Sunday April 27th, prior to the <br>
conference. The cost is $150 per seminar if you are not a JASIG <br>
member. You can find out more at <a
href="http://www.ja-sig.org/conferences/08spring/seminars.html" target="_blank">http://www.ja-sig.org/conferences/08spring/seminars.html</a>
<br>
.<br>
<br>
If you choose to stay for the conference there are several DSpace <br>
presentations at JASIG as well as DLF conference ( in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Minneapolis</st1:City></st1:place> the <br>
same days). Some interesting presentations at JASIG are:<br>
<br>
Monday-<br>
Semantic web activities in higher education- this will include some of <br>
the work done by the SIMILE team, which has created tools that can be <br>
used with DSpace<br>
Engaging the user community- I am moderating a panel that will include <br>
key leaders from 3 open source projects. they will discuss what <br>
tools, process and techniques they use to ensure all the community has <br>
a voice in the open source development process.<br>
NITLE-DSpace initiatives for small colleges- will be talking about the <br>
development of the DSpace community within the NITLE membership <br>
organization<br>
Google web toolkit- This may be of interest to DSpace users as we <br>
( the community) looks at the possibility of integrating the google <br>
toolkit into DSpace<br>
<br>
Tuesday-<br>
If we build it will they come? <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Part</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Deux-</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Cornell</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> will be <br>
giving an update on how they have overcome some of the hurdles <br>
populating their DSpace repository<br>
Personal repository space vs. the personal portal-I hot topic right <br>
now, will be interesting to hear what Chris Awre from U of Hull has to <br>
say even if it is a Fedora repository, maybe we can learn<br>
Shibboleth 2.0- an overview for developers- if you are looking at <br>
shibboleth for your authentication system this could be of interest.<br>
<br>
Wednesday-<br>
AT DLF 9-10:30<br>
DSpace Foundation- strategy and roadmap for 08/09 including the new <br>
architecture work- if you did not hear my presentation at OR2008- I
<br>
will be giving an abridged version of the talk at DLF<br>
National Library of Medicine- Experiment to investigate the <br>
scalability of a DSpace based archive. Apparently NLM has run over <br>
one million items through the DSpace system with success.<br>
<br>
You can find a full list of both programs at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.ja-sig.org/conferences/08spring/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.ja-sig.org/conferences/08spring/index.html</a><br>
<a href="http://www.diglib.org/forums/spring2008/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.diglib.org/forums/spring2008/index.htm</a><br>
<br>
If you are a DLF member, you can attend JASIG for one day of the <br>
conference by paying $150 for the day. You will see this option on <br>
the online registration, or you can pay the day you show up.<br>
