> Beginning on February 1, DuraSpace will be holding a monthly drawing to
> encourage content contributions to the new KnowledgeBase
> (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/KB/Welcome+to+KnowledgeBase). The
> KnowledgeBase is an initiative aimed at improving the training and
> educational resources available to the DSpace and Fedora user communities.
> Once it is populated with content, this wiki-based resource will help new
> users get a repository up and running as well as perform various basic
> administrative tasks using a variety of delivery tools (text-based guides,
> images, diagrams, screencasts, presentation slides, webinars, etc.). The
> usefulness of the KnowledgeBase depends on the collaborative efforts of the
> DSpace and Fedora user communities. For the next several months if you create
> content you not only help the community but you could win a chance to help
> yourself to something on your Amazon wish list!

> Drawing Details
>
> Each month DuraSpace will put out the call for new content contributions to
> the KnowledgeBase. Contributors can create any type of content the wish --
> text-based guides, images, diagrams, screencasts, etc. to address any topic
> under the existing topic outline for either DSpace
> (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSpaceKB/DSpace+KnowledgeBase) or Fedora
> (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FedoraKB/Fedora+KnowledgeBase).
> All entries must be posted to the appropriate wiki page by contributors by
> the last day of the month.
> All entries will be validated to ensure submissions meet the minimum entry
> requirement which is either, 1) a complete text guide for an existing outline
> topic or for an additional supplemental topic, or 2) a complete screencast
> for one outline topic/subtopic, approximately 5 minutes in length.
> Contributors may use adapt/update previously published material (The DSpace
> Course http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/handle/2160/615, Fedora Tutorial
> https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FEDORACREATE/Tutorial+1+-+Introduction+to+Fedora,
> etc.), although appropriate attribution should be footnoted.
> A random drawing will determine a winner of that month's $50 Amazon gift
> card, which will be awarded within 7 days.
> Anyone outside of DuraSpace employees/contract employees is eligible to
> participate.
> Individuals may enter the contest more than once in the same month to
> increase their chances of winning and may also win for multiple months.
> Take a Look
>
> The KnowledgeBase was developed in consultation with the community and was
> designed to allow for as much flexibility and community contributions --
> however large or small -- as possible. Content is easy to contribute using
> the familiar DuraSpace wiki environment. Simply edit or add pages the same
> way you do anywhere else on the wiki. Any suggestions you may have for making
> the content more useful, more relevant for the community is always welcomed.
> Either use the "Comment" section at the bottom of each page or email Valorie
> Hollister at [email protected].
