Dear DSpace community,
I would like to introduce to you two new hires to the DSpace
Foundation, Valorie Hollister (Val at dspace.org) and Lauren L'Esperance
(Lauren at dspace.org).
Valorie is the community outreach manager and her role is to work
closely with the community to promote DSpace, and develop programs
and tools to support to the DSpace user( non technical) community.
Some of the key initial projects Val will be working on are-
-Management of content on the website of interest to the community-
such as the "featured DSpace site", news, events, publications and
training materials
-Launch of an online Newsletter monthly which will promote the work
being done in the community, and give updates on what projects the
foundation is undertaking
-Survey of the user community to get input on how the foundation can
best serve their needs for the future in developing programs,tools,
partnerships ect.
-developing a master list of all DSpace sites and contacts worldwide
to reference for collaboration, promotion, input ect.
Lauren is the webmaster for the dspace.org website and in charge of
infrastructure, layout, new sections ect. in regards to the website
and any other communication tools we add to the Foundation. Lauren
works for DSpace one day per week, so her time is limited.
In the coming month of January please look for the survey and welcome
Val and Lauren to the DSpace community.
sincerely,
DSpace Executive Director
Michele Kimpton

Dear DSpace community,
The Foundation is trying to put a list together of most recent DSpace
sites, so we can highlight these on our website and quantify for
others what it takes to get a DSpace site up and running from a
technical and non technical point of view. If you have recently
launched a "vanilla" installation of DSpace please let us know.
thanks for your help,
Michele

Hello! My name is Valorie Hollister and I'm the new community outreach
manager for DSpace Foundation.
We are in the process of setting up some new resources on
www.dspace.org.
We would like to develop a list of new DSpace installations. If you
have a new repository (launched witin the last 6 months or
soon-to-launch), please email me a link and a brief description of the
content/purpose. This list will be helpful to those contemplating
building their own DSpace repositories.
We are also in the process of putting together a more comprehensive
and informative list of DSpace service providers
(contrators/consultants) who can help institutions set up/modify a
repositories. If you have not already been contacted about this list,
but you would like to be included, please email me. We hope to post
service provider list in the next few weeks.
I'm looking forward to working with all of you!
-Valorie Hollister
Community Outreach Manager

Why is a "vanilla" site the benchmark, when hardly anyone is content
with that? A realistic cost/time estimate needs to include design and
customization work.

Hi Dorothea,
I get many requests from organizations evaluating DSpace wanting to
know the level of effort to install right out of the box, without
making any customizations. It is not a BENCHMARK but a BASELINE. If
you would like to help us identify all the useful and important
customizations and the level of effort required I welcome your
input. The Foundation is just in the stages of getting a team
together so we can put process and support in to represent the total
needs of the community to be successful running DSpace. However, we
need the help of the community to do this . Given your experience,
passion and know how it would be great if you could work with us in a
positive fashion.
Michele Kimpton
Executive Director DSpace Foundation
