[Dspace-general] Creation of a DSpace UK user group

[Stuart David Lewis [sdl]]

Hi MacKenzie,

Thanks for your support. We're having our first meeting in (of all
places!) Bergen next week, so it will be a good chance to get together
and see how the user group might be run, share our experiences, discuss
whether we want to have annual meetings etc. Hopefully it will
compliment the general user group meetings. We can also look at perhaps
using the group to collaborate with respect to applying for funding,
such as the calls about to released from the JISC
(http://www.jisc.ac.uk/capital_roadmap.html).

Thanks,


Stuart

What a great idea! I'll be really interested to hear how this goes,
since getting people together for general user group meetings is
so difficult (given how far flung you are).

I'm curious though, will the existence of such a user group
will discourage people from attending general user group meetings?
Or is a more localized group really preferred?

MacKenzie
