Third day of code4lib Group conference at Princeton University. Yesterday the #poster session was a great success.
We are very proud of our #commitment to the DSpace #community and the advancement of the new versions of #DSpace.
As the lead #contributors to the community, it was great to showcase the new features of DSpace 8 and what DSpace 9 will bring.

One more Kitten¹ update:
Merges in the contributions of saltmonger and @sheogorath that improve the Kitten installer¹ and fix a bug where the query string/search suffix in the URL was not being added during the automatic forwarding to normalised URLs ending with a forward-slash.²
Thank you both for improving Kitten (PS. Check out the full credits at https://kitten.small-web.org/credits/)

It was glorious spending IRL time with old & new friends from #OpenSource / #Kubernetes / #Rust #RustLang / #Mastodon communities. I’m back in #NYC now!
I’m still processing everything, but I noticed some commonalities in the kinds of challenges #contributors are facing during this 2024 lonely burnout epoch (I’m not the only one who feels it right?)And I wonder if more #maintainers are facing them too.
So what are the toughest #community/ communications/ outreach challenges you’re tackling?
Here's why I think that we shouldn't feel intimidated about contributing to open-source projects: https://colinkiama.com/blog/git-kingdoms/
