Somewhere between Bristol and Birmingham, I realised that I didn’t have the meeting room or location details for the second UKCoRR meeting held last Friday. I had the agenda, supporting papers, and attendee’s list, but no location. Luckily at the Nottingham railway station I bumped into two people who knew where to go [...]

Tomorrow it’s an early start on the train up to Nottingham for the UKCoRR meeting. The last meeting was in May – a really good day, where I wrote masses of notes (I wasn’t quite in post then, and everything was new) which was lucky because I’d left on the Sunday afternoon for [...]

- There’s a patch for DSpace 1.4 (included [...]

Well I’ll be reporting live (almost) from the DSpace Technical Day the RSP are holding here on Monday 12 November. They’ll be running a basic session in the morning, and advanced tutorial in the morning, with a surgery running parallel, presumably where you can drop in to see Dr DSpace.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch [...]
