We are happy to invite the DSpace user community for a meeting that will 
bring together the international community. Representing one of the most 
successful open source platforms within academia with more than 500 
installations worldwide, the aim is to share experiences from users, 
administrators and developers and to discuss the further possibilities 
for DSpace.

and posters in all areas relevant to the use of DSpace.

Suggested and example topics
• DSpace extensions developed within the community
• Utilization of statistics and metrics for your repository
• Interoperability: among repositories, with other systems, with the Web
• Incorporating video and audio in your repository
• Value added services for your DSpace repository
• Managing and integrating workflows (ETDs)
• Increasing searching, promotion and visibility through data mining or 
other means
