Join Our Community
DSpace is an open source software platform developed and supported by our user community, with the help and support of Lyrasis. The community welcomes your interest and participation.
The primary way DSpace users discuss issues and communicate with one another is through the various mailing lists. The DSpace community has three very active mailing lists where you can meet other DSpace users and developers, learn more about the community and the software, get answers to technical questions, and hear of upcoming events.
DSpace Members are leaders from universities, research and library organizations, and others, who have made a financial commitment to our open source programs. Members are partners in program governance, ensuring that DSpace continues to serve its global communities.
The success of any open source program lies with the community contributing its collective energy, information, enthusiasm, and effort. There are many ways to contribute to DSpace — not just in writing code. There’s a role for everyone.
