The DSpace Foundation will host a workshop on Thursday from 1-4pm at  
the Open Repositories conference.  This workshop will feature two  
sessions,  providing updates on DSpace 1.5.2, 1.6 and DSpace 2.0, as  
well as an interactive panel discussion.

The first 1.5 hours will be a user driven interactive question and  
answer session for users and developers of the DSpace community.    
Questions, issues or requests for guidance on working with DSpace  
1.5.x are welcomed.  The audience for this session is current users  
who need more detail or discussion on 1.5 than was provided during the  
user group sessions.  The future of DSpace 1.x releases will be  
discussed as well.

The second 1.5 hours will focus on DSpace 2.0 and is primarily for  
developers who want to learn more details on 2.0 and how to begin  
working with the 2.0 code base. Architecture, core functionality and  
components of 2.0 will be discussed.
