[Dspace-general] Program schedule posted for JASIG conf. "Higher education solutions the community source way"

[Michele Kimpton]

Dear DSpace community,

The schedule is now posted for the upcoming JASIG open source software  
conference which will feature DSpace 1.5 training, presentations and  
panels.  There are technical tracks as well as deployment tracks that  
cover not only DSpace, but open source software programming and  
deployment in general.  I think this is really going to be a great  
conference and a chance to network with other java developers and  
implementors of open source solutions in higher ed.  Software projects  
represented are DSpace, Sakai, UPortal, CAS, Kuali, Internet2 and  
Fedora.

Please join us,
Michele Kimpton
