[Dspace-general] DSpace User Group Meeting Bergen 2006

[Richard Jones]

Dear All,

The DSpace User Group Meeting and Institutional Repository Workshop ran 
successfully from 19 - 21 April.  We had participants from 16 countries, 
spanning from USA to Japan, totaling 102 delegates across all three 
days, and with the busiest day being the first day of the DSpace User 
Group Meeting with 75 attendees.

We felt that the event was a great success, and we had lots of positive 
feedback from people on the day.  We would like to publicly thank all 
our speakers for their hard work, and all the attendees for making the 
event possible.  Thanks also to everyone involved in the organisation of 
the event, and the programme committee for their help.  In addition, 
thanks to our sponsors: Open Repository, OneOverZero and Allkopi, as 
well as contributions from Utdanning.no and Visit Bergen.

The conference website will remain, and contain links to all the 
presentations that were given over the 3 days:

In addition, there is a DSpace wiki page, to which you are encouraged to 
place comments if you attended, and from which you can find out what was 
discussed if you didn't:

We have also started to see lots of photos from the event turning up on 
Flickr, under the tag "dspacebergen2006", and we encourage you to 
release your own photos here with the same tag:

It was a great pleasure for us to make this contribution to the DSpace 
community, and look forward to being a part of it for a long time to come.

All the best,

- The DSUG Bergen 2006 Team
